What does it mean to be victorious in Christ? How should Christians define success? And how many of us really feel like “more than conquerors” when it comes to our spiritual lives?
You may not be experiencing the ever-present reality of the victorious Christian life because you’ve yet to fully abdicate the throne of your heart in deference to the Holy Spirit.
Or you may feel as if your Christian life is an endless cycle of ebbs and flows, one step forward toward God, two steps back.
Or you may feel numb or complacent or tired in your walk with God.
To help you pursue a victorious Christian life, we’ve created "Empowered: A Guide to Experiencing the Power of the Holy Spirit".
In this 47-day Lenten digital devotional, Jim Denison, PhD, will guide your mind and heart toward realizing how foundational and essential the Holy Spirit is to a vibrant daily walk with Christ.
The final section is particularly moving as it covers Jesus’ final days on earth, from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday.
Each chapter is only a few hundred words and includes a guided prayer.
In a brief amount of time, you will be encouraged and enlightened by biblical insight into the true power of the Holy Spirit.
The victorious Christian life is not about winning the culture wars, trying to do better, or going to church more often.
It’s about letting the Holy Spirit have victory in you.
You can experience the Holy Spirit’s victory over your greatest challenges. And we pray that "Empowered" encourages you toward that goal this Lenten season.
