The Eight Ministries of the Holy Spirit presents eight works of the Holy Spirit in the life of the sinner/believer and an introduction to Biblecostal theology. Its purpose is to familiarize believers with the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. the style is scholarly, but readable. This is a fresh, biblical approach to the work of the Holy Spirit, which is a balance between the extreme Evangelical and extrem Pentecostal perspectives. Biblecostal Theology does not teach evidentiary tongues, but instead that the spiritual manifestations of 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 are still avaliable. This book will familiarize you with the biblical basis for a more well-rounded Christianity that combines the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.
A Workbook on The Eight Ministries of the Holy Spirit is a catechism developed by Bishop Johnson on his book by the same name. As Christianity developed, in the days following the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, the Christ, instruction was carried on by posing a series of questions and correct answers that was called a "catechism." This method has been adopted to help those who are interested in achieving a deeper or more complete understanding of teaching in The Eight Ministries of the Holy Spirit.
Do you long to know more about the Holy Spirit and experience a greater measure of His working in your life? Do you want to be used by God in a more powerful way? If so, WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVES is written for you. Examine what the Scriptures say about being filled with the Holy Spirit and the gifts He gives believers. WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVES will help you to answer questions such as: • Is the Holy Spirit the same Spirit who was poured out at Pentecost? • Is the Bible still true in our time, or are we so blinded by materialism and intellectualism that we are no longer open to the powerful ministry of the Holy Spirit? • Is the same power of the Holy Spirit available in the modern times in which we live? • Is the Holy Spirit of Pentecost still the same Spirit who can and wants to work in our hearts and lives in our day and age? • Can we expect the Holy Spirit, who worked through simple and uneducated “fishermen”, to perform powerful miracles and give miraculous signs in society today? Learn how the Holy Spirit can operate in a new way in your life, bringing spiritual growth and revival to you as well as to the greater Body of Christ. At the end of each chapter are questions for personal Bible study or group discussion.

Dr. A.J. Gordon was the founder of Gordon College of Theology and Missions and wrote one of the classics on the subject of the work of the Holy Spirit. The Ministry of the Spirit combines devotional examination of the scriptural teaching with a powerful challenge for the church. It is not claimed that in this little volume all has been said that might be said upon the subject treated. On the contrary, the writer has proceeded upon the belief that the doctrine of the Holy Spirit can be better understood by limiting the sphere of discussion, rather than by extending it to the largest bounds. For finite beings, at least, presence is more intelligible than omnipresence. So, though the subject of this book is in itself profoundly mysterious, we have sought to simplify it by dwelling upon the time-ministry of the Holy Ghost without entering upon the consideration of his eternal ministry. What the Spirit did before the incarnation of Christ, and what he may do hereafter beyond the second advent of Christ, is a question hardly touched upon in this volume. We have sought rather to emphasize and to magnify the great truth that the Paraclete is now present in the church: that we are living in the dispensation of the Spirit, with all the unspeakable blessing for the church and for the world which this economy provides. Hence, as we speak of the ministry of Christ meaning a service embraced within defined limits, so we name this volume the "Ministry of the Spirit," as referring to the work of the Comforter extending from Pentecost to the end of this dispensation. How deep a subject for a study! What prayer more becoming for those entering upon it than the humble petition that the Spirit himself will teach us concerning the Spirit! Deeply sensible of the imperfection of this work, it is now committed to the use and blessing of that Divine Person of the Godhead of whom it so unworthily speaks.
The Practical School of the Holy Spirit - Part 5 of 8, Activate 12 Ministry Gifts in You, Get Equipped to Counsel Self, Others and Expect Mind-boggling Insights in the Secret Place What is my motivation for writing this book and why would you want to read it? As we engage the marketplace as ambassadors of Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:21, never before has there been a need to be led by the Spirit of God than it is now. As we race towards the end, activities in the realm of the spirit continue to be heightened because the destiny of the human race hangs in the balance. Our ministry of reconciliation cannot be done on human wisdom, intellect, tactics or strategy devoid of the power and the working of the Holy Spirit. As Christians, we should realize that we are spirit with a mind using our bodies as containers to execute. As Christians, our spirit has joined with the Spirit of God at conversion. To be motivated in body, we have to first be motivated in our spirit. The Spirit then communicates to our spirit and this to our minds and our minds instructs our body to take action based on the instruction sent to us by God's Spirit in us. But for lack of understanding and knowledge of the working and ways of the Holy Spirit, some of us have either ignored or grieved the Holy Spirit. As a result, our sensitivity to Him has died or He has chosen not to lead us any longer. This series on the school of the Holy Spirit will help heighten our sensitivity and working with our best friend who is ready and willing to help us be all that God has called us to be and to do. At the end of this series, some of us will begin to dream dreams with more clarity and poise, we will be activated in the realm of visions again, we will begin to pick up promptings, voices, flows from the Holy Spirit and interpret them accurately what the Holy Spirit is saying to us the churches so that we can be effective in the mission field of life. We developed these 41 series and further broke these up into 6 easy to read chapters of 8 books of which this one is our fifth in the series. We hope you like it and we pray it will make you an effective kingdom disciple-maker, operating powerfully in the Spirit realm in Jesus name, Amen
Most Christians live and die, never knowing the fellowship and companionship of the Holy Spirit. They have heard about the Holy Spirit and may even know doctrinal answers regarding the Third Person of the Godhead. But knowing about the Holy Spirit and personally knowing Him in daily fellowship are two very different things. The fulfillment of the God-conceived desires that you have dreamed of and that your heart has yearned for lies hidden in the keys within the pages of this book. As you read with an open heart, the Heavenly Father will reveal the ministry of the Holy Spirit to you. And as you act on what you learn and yield to His life-transforming work in your own life, you will set yourself squarely on the path that leads to your dreams becoming reality!
The Lord through the Holy Spirit is raising up an invincible, unstoppable, unconquerable, and overcoming Army to bring in an end-time harvest. The Lord is calling. Are you part of God's army? In his new book, Activating the Present-Day Ministry of the Holy Spirit, author Dr. Lon Stettler is calling those the Holy Spirit is recruiting into action to minister in these last days. This second book in his two-part Activation series outlines the three perspectives of the Holy Spirit's present-day ministry. The first perspective focuses on understanding scripturally how a person enters into the ministry of the Holy Spirit through the baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and manifesting spiritual gifts. This leads into the second perspective, which is understanding the restoration ministry of the Holy Spirit to bring the church into maturity and number. The final perspective is the actual activation process to mobilize each ministry of the Holy Spirit - the baptism in the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues, accelerating the development of the fruit of the Spirit, and activating gifts of the Spirit in your ministry. Dr. Stettler felt God leading him to write a two-part series at the start of 2020, with the first book discussing a righteousness consciousness through the identifying of Christ in us. This book then focuses on the ministry of the Holy Spirit and how to activate it in our lives and ministries. His hope is that those reading become aware of what God has gifted them with after they accepted Jesus in their hearts, the awakening of the Holy Spirit in their lives. With this new understanding, readers will begin to activate their divine gifts and ministries to be a minister in the marketplace, the public square, and the local church.
