Book details
Overview
This book presents unchangeable biblical precepts so vital in this twenty-first century world. It is saturated with very practical workings of Holy Spirit, especially in tutoring those searching for life's greater purpose. Most of Christendom's messages and readership cover the earthly ministry of Jesus and the who, what, where of His personhood. Just before Jesus' earthly departure, after His resurrection, He passed the baton to Holy Spirit, to complete God's earthly ministry. God authored and initiated both earthly ministries with different goals in mind. But surprisingly, very little is taught or practiced concerning Holy Spirit's earthly ministry, which now has spanned over two thousand years. God's plan and heartfelt desire is for His followers to live like Jesus today, the same way the early Christians exemplified. Simultaneous with the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, God commissioned Holy Spirit to an earthly ministry which will be carried on all the way to eternity. God's goal was and is to empower you to rise above your carnal, self-directed life, and self-controlled practices in obeying Holy Spirit's directives as He leads you to intimate fellowship with Jesus. It is my vision to offer "something more." If you are seeking, hopefully you will find a wonderful, new life pattern. I trust you will. However, I must warn you that for many followers of Jesus, it will be like hitting you square between your religious eyes. In doing so, it will help you come out of some really dark places and turn right side up many misconceptions and falsehoods, giving you truths about the person and workings of Holy Spirit.

There are thousands of Christian books, articles, blogs, etc. that can be read, each supporting someone's theological or religious slant. Most are permeated with high-sounding postulates, crammed full of imagery and hyperboles, giving only "lip service" to living Spirit-filled lives. Jesus taught His followers to "hunger and thirst for righteousness." Such is only possible when Holy Spirit's complete makeover happens (a surrendered life), resulting in growing into the freedom Jesus has already won at the cross. We no longer need to fear what once terrified us. Living anew this way can be incredibly unsettling because you can't see, feel, touch, or employ human logic and/or reasoning to the Spirit's workings. You will find His presence refreshing, dynamic, and peaceful. Offering one's self-life pursuits is not easy. It takes courage. It takes active obedience - a deliberate, ongoing, daily, moment by moment surrender to Holy Spirit's control. His presence is not a doctrine; not theatrics; not dry, empty sermons and teaching lessons that leaves one wondering "Is this all there is for me?" Readers - listen! It's a conversion to a new way of living - one that a smile on your face, give you a new song, a new step, a new image and much closer fellowship with Jesus. Remember, God, Jesus and Holy Spirit are "one"in every way. It is no longer you that lives, but God's Holy Spirit that lives in You and through You. Hopefully, your thirsty appetite to walk, think, talk, and act like Jesus will be whetted by the time you fully absorb this reading. I am writing this book to each of you personally as one who has witnessed first and foremost a radical change in my own life. I can attest to such a daily renewal. Jesus offers this Spirit-led transformation to as many as will open their hearts to receive it. Your living testimony to those around you will be magnified.
