Blasphemy Challenge in the news

Got Power?

The Holy Spirit is at work in God's world, convicting people of sin and drawing them to God (John 16:8-11). The Holy Spirit is present in believers, revealing spiritual truth and enabling them to understand this truth, discern its application to their lives, and become transformed people. The spiritual transformation of lives occurs only through the Spirit's power.

The Holy Spirit is both active and essential in spiritual transformation, serving as the Teacher, Guide and Empowering Agent. While selected theories of secular education are useful in Christian education, adherence to secular theories alone will not achieve spiritual transformation. Bible teaching for spiritual transformation begins with teachers who pray and depend on the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

How the Holy Spirit transforms lives is beyond human understanding and beyond human power to accomplish either in one's own life or in the lives of others. Review some of the biblical evidence.

"And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever - the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you …. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.'' (John 14:16-17,26)

When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me.'' (John 15:26)

While following the back-road pathways, I trusted my hunch as well as the compass and the map. While walking the pathway toward spiritual transformation, a human hunch is inadequate. We must depend on a power to transform our lives that is beyond our human understanding or ability - the Holy Spirit. To be used of God in teaching to transform lives, we first must be transformed ourselves and live in dependence on the power of the Holy Spirit.
