Product Description
by Aimee Semple McPherson (Author)
The life of Jesus was wrapped up in the Holy Spirit. He was conceived of the Spirit, baptized with the Spirit, led of the Spirit, and performed His works by the power of the Spirit. When He departed this world, He left His disciples to carry on, commanding them do the works that He had done. Would He declare that His own works were done by the power of the Holy Spirit who dwelt within Him, and then tell His disciples do the same work without that same power? No
As Elijah's mantle fell from his shoulders and was donned by the waiting disciple Elisha, so Christ, sent down from the throne of God the Holy Spirit, the life-giving Third Person of the Trinity that He might abide within His disciples. They, too, would preach the gospel with signs and wonders and be able to say as did their Master: "He that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works."
In a day when the foundations of society are deteriorating, many people are looking to the church for an answer. The true gospel of Christ proclaimed in the fullness of the Holy Spirit provides an answer and a hope. May a divine flame be kindled in your heart as you read The Holy Spirit.
