Download or read book The Movement of the Holy Spirit written by Dr. Coffia M. Rose and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of creation, man and woman are created as two spiritual beings. However, sin came into the world and exposed the nakedness of man. Evil and wickedness have now become a part of man’s nature. The serpent that tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden was known to be the devil. However, he came under disguise then exposed the forbidden fruit when he tempted Eve. Eve failed in the temptation, which exposed man to his sinful nature. Although we are living in a physical world, there is spiritual wickedness that keeps taking place without the natural man’s understanding. Almost every day, there’s violence, killing, and all kind of evil that continues to plague the earth. This is why the scripture tells the readers, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Eph. 6:12, KJV). However, the word of God gave the believers some spiritual weapons to counter the devil’s wicked devices, such as the helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, and the shield of faith (Eph. 6:14–17). This is why the word of God, the Holy Spirit, is our protection.

Download or read book Baptists and the Holy Spirit written by C. Douglas Weaver and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The record is clear that Baptists, historically, have prioritized conversion, Jesus, and God. Equally clear is that Baptists have never known what to do with the Holy Spirit. In Baptists and the Holy Spirit, Baptist historian C. Douglas Weaver traces the way Baptists have engaged--and, at times, embraced--the Holiness, Pentecostal, and charismatic movements. Chronicling the interactions between Baptists and these Spirit-filled movements reveals the historical context for the development of Baptists' theology of the Spirit. Baptists and the Holy Spirit provides the first in-depth interpretation of Baptist involvement with the Holiness, Pentecostal, and charismatic movements that have found a prominent place in America's religious landscape. Weaver reads these traditions through the nuanced lens of Baptist identity, as well as the frames of gender, race, and class. He shows that, while most Baptists reacted against all three Spirit-focused groups, each movement flourished among a Baptist minority who were attracted by the post-conversion experience of the "baptism of the Holy Spirit." Weaver also explores the overlap between Baptist and Pentecostal efforts to restore and embody the practices and experiences of the New Testament church. The diversity of Baptists--Southern Baptist, American Baptist, African American Baptist--leads to an equally diverse understanding of the Spirit. Even those who strongly opposed charismatic expressions of the Spirit still acknowledged a connection between the Holy Spirit and a holy life. If, historically, Baptists were suspicious of Roman Catholics' ecclesial hierarchy, then Baptists were equally wary of free church pneumatology. However, as Weaver shows, Baptist interactions with the Holiness, Pentecostal, and charismatic movements and their vibrant experience with the Spirit were key in shaping Baptist identity and theology.
Download or read book New Outpourings of the Spirit written by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume consists of two fundamental texts by Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, on the ecclesial movements and new communities within the Church since the Second Vatican Council. These writings are particularly meaningful with regard to the intense spiritual journey which the ecclesial movements and the new communities are experiencing in view of their meeting with Pope Benedict XVI on Pentecost 2006. These writings are a precious guide for the entire Church, leaders and laity alike, who are invited to welcome the new "outpourings of the Spirit." The first part of the book presents in an articulate and exhaustive way the theological vision of the Pope on these ecclesial movements and the new communities. It is his talk titled Church Movements and their Place in Theology which he gave at the beginning of the World Congress of the Ecclesial Movements in Rome in 1998. It combines extraordinary theological depth with a warm pastoral tone. The second part of the book is very different from the first, but complements the first part. It contains the dialogue of Cardinal Ratzinger with a large group of Bishops from all continents, convened together for a seminar on the topic, The Ecclesial Movements in the Pastoral Concern of the Bishops held in Rome in 1999. This dialogue format was very favorably received by the Bishops, and it is quite wide-ranging, touching on topics such as the relation between the old and the new charisms, the institutional dimension and the charismatic dimension of the Church, and the Church's mission in a non-Christian society and more.

Download or read book The Holy Spirit as Person and Power written by Rob Yule and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In just over one hundred years, the Pentecostal-charismatic movement has transformed world Christianity. Noted for their rediscovery of spiritual gifts and commitment to world evangelization, 700 million Pentecostals and charismatics now account for more than 27 percent of the global Christian movement. The Pentecostal-charismatic movement has been more noted for its activism than for theological reflection. But this may be changing. The Holy Spirit as Person and Power challenges traditional theology to take account of what has been disclosed in the dynamism and variety of charismatic experience. The author is a theologically trained practitioner, impacted in midlife by a transforming experience of the Holy Spirit. He has been a hands-on leader in the renewal movement. Now, in his later years, he reflects on the meaning of the grace imparted to the church by the renewing activity of God's Spirit. This is not the work of an enthusiast claiming a new revelation. Rather, the author draws attention to many nuances in the Bible's description of the Spirit that have been overlooked in traditional pneumatology. By relating these insights to Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, and evangelical theology, he has produced a book with ecumenical implications for all branches of world Christianity.

Download or read book The Spirit and the Body written by Witness Lee and published by Living Stream Ministry. This book was released on 2024-02-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Endeavoring to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Eph. 4:3) As believers we should be desperate to keep the oneness. This oneness is not the oneness of doctrine or the oneness of theology; it is the oneness of the Spirit. The oneness of the Spirit is just the Spirit Himself. To keep the oneness of the Spirit is to keep the Spirit. If we are not in the Spirit, we are not in the oneness. And if we are not in the Spirit, we cannot say that we are in the Body. The Body is one with the Spirit, and the Spirit is the reality of the Body. If we are not in the Spirit, we are not in the oneness, but in division. In The Spirit and the Body Witness Lee presents clear and penetrating examples that test whether our living is genuinely in the Spirit and in the Body. He goes on to reveal that the Lord’s recovery in this age is fundamentally a recovery of the oneness of the Body.
