Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct...
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:25). The Holy Spirit empowers us, guides us, and enables us to grow and endure in our relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ. Often the most misunderstood member of the Trinity, the person of the Spirit continues to attract attention today amidst church revivals and renewals. In this new edition of his classic Keep in Step with the Spirit, J. I. Packer seeks to help Christians reaffirm the biblical call to holiness and the Spirit s role in keeping our covenant with God. Packer guides us through the riches and depth of the Spirit s work, assesses versions of holiness and the charismatic life, and shows how Christ must always be at the centre of true Spirit-led ministry. A new chapter explores Christian assurance. With abiding relevance and significance, Keep in Step with the Spirit sets forth vital knowledge for healthy and joyous Christian living, through understanding and experience of God the Holy Spirit. Here is a book for every serious believer to read and re-read.
A modern classic--revised with more than 70 percent new material--is based on seven Scriptural realities that teach Christians how to develop a true relationship with the Creator.

Kowalski addresses the Pauline understanding of S/spirit in Romans 8, as compared to the Stoic idea of pneuma. The author first analyzes the Stoic views on pneuma perceived in a variety of life-giving, cognitive-ethical, unifying, reproductive and inspiring functions. The aforementioned features are taken as a starting point for the comparison with Paul to which, however, the third element is added, the Jewish texts of the Second Temple period. These include the Old Testament but also The Book of Enoch, The Book of Jubilees, Qumran, The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, The Psalms of Solomon, Philo of Alexandria, Flavius Josephus, LAB, Joseph and Aseneth, 4 Book of Ezra and 2 Book of Baruch. Such a rich comparative material contributes to the novelty of the book and enables the reader to discover both the similarities and differences between Paul, Greco-Roman and Jewish authors. The study analyzes Romans 8 in its rhetorical context and brings to light the novelty of the Pauline view of the Spirit. The apostle portrays it in its primary cognitive-ethical and communitarian function of making the believers similar to Christ and inculcating in them the Lord's mindset and attitudes. Paul presents the Spirit as dwelling within a person, similarly to God inhabiting the Jerusalem temple, and as the mediator of the resurrected life. In the original Pauline take the Spirit enables a close union between God and human beings in which the latter keep their freedom and distinctive personal traits.
Spiritpower is written for all those who are interested in exploring the field of spirit; it specifically appeals to those who have already begun an active search for their spirit. It offers support, encouragement and direction to those who somehow got lost along the way, yet still have a need for a life in the spirit. Spiritpower is composed of two texts, The Manual and The Revolutionary Handbook, that are woven together into a single text. The Manual offers a step-by-step, inner healing journey that takes the participant through the process of unification with the higher self or spirit within. While The Manual offers instructions on how to directly contact and develop an on-going relationship with the spirit, The Revolutionary Handbook informs on what to expect and what lies ahead in the new spiritual frontier. The handbook offers a survey of the “future history” of the inner spiritual life of the 21st century. The handbook prophesizes spiritual events of our century and is based on the vision of spirit beings living and working in and through the minds and bodies of their human counterparts.
Adam who had enjoyed perfect life, its continuance conditioned on obedience to Jehovah (Gen. 2:17), now experienced in himself, the workings of sin and its fruitage, spiritual death. He was “cut off from God and true spirituality,” nevertheless his life vigor was strong, living for 930 years before physical death overtook him. He lost eternal life for himself and offspring. (Gen. 3:17, 22-23; 5:5) The apostle John, quotes Jesus Christ as saying: “God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son Jesus Christ, that whoever believes in him, will not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) And Jesus Christ said: “This is eternal life, their knowing you, the only true God and the one whom you have sent, Jesus Christ.” (John 17:3)
