This month we’ve been focusing on spending time with the Lord, and for our book review, I’d like to recommend Experiencing the Spirit by Robert Heidler.
If you’re new to the Holy Spirit or if you have questions about who the Holy Spirit is, Heidler’s book is a great resource full of straightforward explanations, grounded in Scripture for understanding the indwelling and empowering of the Spirit.
I was Spirit-filled many years ago, and even if you’re a seasoned Holy Spirit veteran, this book is still for you. I found it refreshing and inspiring.
Akin to Bill Johnson’s When Heaven Invades Earth, the power in this text is the testimonies he offers. Everyday people—like you and me—who experience God’s healing, His miracles, His gift of prophecy and words of knowledge, His manifest presence, etc.
Those testimonies build my faith and remind me that when I feel defeated the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in me.
And more than that, He’s asked me to minister to others, to advance His kingdom here on earth.
It’s not about me; it’s about Him. And His power demonstrates His love for others.
My constant prayer while reading this book has been, “Holy Spirit, come. Empower me to do your work.”
I want to have a deepened relationship with the Holy Spirit, to sense when He is moving, to hear what He is saying, to see how He is manifesting Himself. I want to encourage others, to see them set free and healed and filled with the power to overcome anything.
Don’t you?
I highly recommend this text! Read it and sign up for the Holy Spirit class November 13. Both will be a blessing! J
