Unplugged From The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Larry Turner on Sep 8, 2016

There is a danger from becoming disobedient to the Holy Spirit. Samsom was an example of that.

Judges 16:20 “Then she cried out, ‘Samson! The Philistines have come to capture you!’ When he woke up, he thought, ‘I will do as before and shake myself free.’ But he didn’t realize the Lord had left him.” There are not too many verses as troubling as ...read more

Evidence Of A Spirit Filled Believer

Contributed by Jerry Hoffman on May 27, 2009

John the Baptist gives us a clear picture of the attributes of a Spirit filled Christian.
