From the Publisher
Victorious Living Isn't About Techniques or Trying Harder. It's About the Power of the Holy Spirit. Spreading the Gospel places Christians on the front line of clashing philosophies. But Christianity is no mere philosophy, and evangelism isn't accomplished by out-arguing non-believers. Our logic alone can't reach the lost or defeat the kingdom of darkness. We need the power of the Holy Spirit. Today, the church at large is rediscovering its need to rely on the Holy Spirit for personal holiness and effective ministry. The Blessing provides a gracious and balanced look at the experience known as the baptism of the Holy Spirit and what it means to filled with the Holy Spirit. Written by respected leaders of the Assembly of God, The Blessing encourages every believer to seek a deeper, fuller, richer experience of the Spirit in their lives. The Blessing answers such questions as What is the baptism in the Holy Spirit? How can people receive this experience? What evidence should accompany or confirm this spiritual baptism? What are the personal benefits? What potential dangers should we be aware of? What guidelines are included in Scripture about using our spiritual gifts? What can we learn from historical and contemporary revivals? How can the blessing deepen our relationship with Christ and help us face the challenges of the 21st century? The Blessing affirms the power of God working in His church, strengthening believers to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to a hurting world. It offers a foundational understanding of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and what that means for Christians today. And it encourages every believer to deepen their own spiritual walk with Christ through the Holy Spirit.
