Walk by the Spirit

He is a person, but unseen to our eyes. A member of the Trinity, yet he makes our body his temple. He is a mystery to many believers, yet the writers of Scripture talk about him often. Are you aware of his work in your life? Do you experience his power? Today there is often confusion about what this means. Concerned by abuses we see in some streams of Evangelical Christianity, we often view the Spirit with suspicion, or are unaware of how his work should practically look in everyday life. As a result, we are missing a working theology of the Spirit. As D.L. Moody said, “without this power, our work will be a drudgery. With it, it becomes a joyful task, a refreshing service.” He was concerned that many were missing this refreshment and wrote; “The doctrine of the Holy Spirit has been too much overlooked, as though it were not practical, and the result is lack of power in testimony and work.” In this seminar we will look at the four main ways the Holy Spirit should be affecting the life of a believer on a daily basis, from Christ’s words to his disciples in the Upper Room Discourse. We will explore how the Holy Spirit engages with my mind and with my will, and unmask the primary opponent of the Spirits work. Finally, we will look at what allows a person to be filled with the Spirit, and how to experience this filling on a daily basis.
