    The Transforming Power Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Mar 19, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,536 views

    How God changes a coward to a conqueror, a fearful man into a rock in His kingdom. Transformation is the difference between our faith and most religions of the world. As a continuous process, perfected on the day of the Lord.

    More often in the church we hear testimonies of men and women saved by grace. In various ways we all joyfully testified of what God has done for us. On the other hand to speak of what God is doing in our life at any stage is hard to tell. Therefore the single, most important discerning ...read more

Although the word “trinity” does not appear in Scripture, it is taught in Matthew 28:18-20 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 (and many other biblical passages). The concept of the trinity ...read more

    Perhaps you think you understand the Holy Spirit. Maybe you think you’ve seen His work on Christian TV. To fully understand the Spirit’s role in the church and in your life you need to listen to this message.

    Jesus gives us salvation, but only if we repent and are baptized in his name. The Holy Spirit gives power to God’s people, the end times are here, the Messiah has come and a message of salvation must be preached.

    The reading from Acts 2:14, 22-32 is part of the first sermon ever preached. It was in response to the disciples’ speaking in tongues on the Day of Pentecost. When the disciples spoke in tongues, some people in the crowd thought that they were drunk. Peter stated that this was not true ...read more

    EphesiansI is addressed to those who are “saints who are Ephesus, and who are faithful in Christ Jesus.” So, when he commands us to be filled with the Spirit, Paul recognizes that many Christians are not filled of the Spirit.
