The Shedding Abroad Of The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit In The Life Of A Christian Series

Contributed by Bill Walker on Feb 7, 2017

THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN Someone has said, “You will never truly know the power of God until you need the power of God.” I think that statement equally applies to God’s Holy Spirit. As we mentioned earlier in this series, too often Christians and ...read more
