The Promise: Experiencing God’s Greatest Gift—The Holy Spirit

If you and I are going to live victorious Christian lives, we must understand the Holy Spirit’s task is to enable us to experience the Christian life. It's the Spirit who lifts the truth of Scripture off the page and causes it to explode in our lives. So, if you long for a closer walk with Christ and a new infusion of the power for Godly living, then you’re ready for The Promise—a deeper, biblical experience of the Holy Spirit.
