Today I want to talk about the Holy Spirit’s role in us knowing the Will of God. You might remember last time when I mentioned the statement, “let your conscience be ...read more

Sharpen The Working Of The Gifts Of Holy Spirit In Your People

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 26, 2024

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are irrevocable. However, if people misuse it, God will not take away the gifts, but he can remove the sharpness, causing the impact to fade over time.

God gives His Gifts of the Holy Spirit to his people, but if he wants to take the gift away from them, he removes the sharpness of the gift rather than the gift itself. When God removes the sharpness, it is like a dull knife that cannot be used to cut, but instead leaves scars and marks on the ...read more

When Heaven Sends Help: Understanding The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 9, 2025

In sports, we often talk about “home-field” advantage. But the Holy Spirit is better than the “home field” advantage. Again, He is the outside power you need. He is the outside power you need for life, for holiness, and for witness.

Just before Jesus died on the cross, He sat the Disciples down for a lengthy training session. Knowing He was only hours from departing, Jesus poured in them.
