I know of no other book that more y depicts and graphically defines how to unlock the pharmaceutical powers of the Holy Spirit to the Church. If you have ever been hurting, needed someone to understand, guide, and direct you, this book will introduce the Holy Spirit to you in a fresh and life-changing way. Join T. D. Jakes as he teaches, in great detail, the powerful truths that are given to us who seek a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Bishop T.D. Jakes is the author of the bestsellers God's Leading Lady; The Lady, Her Lover and Her Lord; Maximize the Moment; The Great Investment; His Lady; Woman, Thou art Loosed (the film of which won the Best Film Award at the Santa Barbara Film Festival) and He-Motions. His daily morning show The Potter's Touch and weekly broadcast The Potter's House air on Trinity Broadcasting Network and Black Entertainment Television, as well as in Europe and South America. Bishop Jakes is the founder and pastor of The Potter's House, one of the fastest-growing churches in the nation, where he leads an interracial congregation of more than 28,000 members. He lives in Dallas with his wife and five children.
I longed for a more personal & intimate relationship with God, through the person of The Holy Spirit. This book was the launching pad into the baptism of the Holy Spirit! I'll never forget what it means to me! Awesome read!
I needed this book-an apt word at the perfect time is a blessing! I will be reading it again. Perfect for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Gods Spirit and How He moves in our lives...
There are surprisingly few books on the Holy Spirit, but this is one of the few I found at the library. I learned some things, agreed with parts, and disagreed with others.
This book is like any book that aims to help us in our daily walk with God. However, like every self-help book, it must be read with discernment. There are a great deal of life-affirming blessings to be absorbed in this book. Bishop Jakes is certainly knowledgeable in his grasp of scripture, but I do not agree with all of his viewpoints. I was blessed and encouraged that no matter who you are or how ineffective you feel, God has the power and the desire to adjust your thinking and make you into the person He wants you to be. Bishop Jakes's main point begins with the manifestation of spiritual giftings, which I find refreshing since many people shy away from gifts such as prophecy, speaking in tongues, and wise interpretation. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is an integral part of our in-depth relationship with God. It can and will bring you into a deeper and more intimate relationship with Him. While it is true that I didn't agree with all of his antiquated views, there was enough here to give me a boost and encouragement to let God work in me so I can be the best I can be for Him.
I would recommend this book to any believer who desires the indwelling of the Holy Spirit ..Bishop Jakes breaks down the word in a manner that allows the reader to get a step by step lesson on accessing the Holy Spirit...any one who is seeking a deeper relationship with God should read thus book....Awesome!!
The author did a great job of pointing the reader to relevant passages in the Bible about the Holy Spirit. My expectation of what this book would afford me was not met; I wanted to understand practical ways to get closer to the Holy Spirit. I think this book would be great for a new comer to Christ or those struggling with accepting their past.
