Experience new dimensions of the Holy Spirit’s power!
Do you desire to know what the Holy Spirit is really like? Many Christians hunger for deeper and more powerful encounters with the Holy Spirit, but where can these experiences be found? The answer lies in the pages of Scripture.
In this groundbreaking work, author and healing evangelist David Hernandez takes you on an unforgettable journey to discover and experience the Spirit’s powerful presence throughout the entire Bible—from Genesis to Revelation.
Scripture offers so much more to be discovered than merely a theology of the Holy Spirit—and still more to be experienced! Trade dry theory for a dynamic relationship as you encounter the third Person of the Trinity in the pages of every book of the Bible. Know the Holy Spirit in a greater depth than ever before.
This book will help you discover…
• Hidden Mysteries. Even in Old Testament books where there is no direct reference to the Holy Spirit, learn to see His presence moving.
• A Fresh Revelation. The different revelations of the Spirit in Scripture reveal His unique characteristics and how He wants to move in your life.
• Your Supernatural Identity. Learn what it really means to have the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwelling in you.
• Kingdom Power. Discover what it means to partner with the Spirit to release the miracles that Jesus promised.
Within the pages of Scripture, untapped reserves of Holy Spirit power are waiting to be released. Will you discover them today?
This is the biography of a contested memory, how it was born, grew,
changed the world, and was changed by it. It's the story of the
story of how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began.
Joseph Smith, the church's founder, remembered that his first
audible prayer, uttered in spring of 1820 when he was about
fourteen, was answered with a vision of heavenly beings. Appearing
to the boy in the woods near his parents' home in western New York
State, they told Smith that he was forgiven and warned him that
Christianity had gone astray. Smith created a rich and
controversial historical record by narrating and documenting this
event repeatedly. In First Vision, Steven C. Harper shows how
Latter-day Saints (beginning with Joseph Smith) and others have
remembered this experience and rendered it meaningful. When and why
and how did Joseph Smith's first vision, as saints know the event,
become their seminal story? What challenges did it face along the
way? What changes did it undergo as a result? Can it possibly hold
its privileged position against the tides of doubt and disbelief,
memory studies, and source criticism-all in the information age?
Steven C. Harper tells the story of how Latter-day Saints forgot
and then remembered accounts of Smith's experience and how Smith's
1838 account was redacted and canonized. He explores the dissonance
many saints experienced after discovering multiple accounts of
Smith's experience. He describes how, for many, the dissonance has
been resolved by a reshaped collective memory.
Although often regarded as marginal or obscure, Mormonism is a
significant American religious minority, numerically and
politically. The successes and struggles of this U.S. born religion
reveal much about how religion operates in U.S. society. Mormonism:
The Basics introduces the teachings, practices, evolution, and
internal diversity of this movement, whose cultural icons range
from Mitt Romney to the Twilight saga, from young male missionaries
in white shirts and ties to polygamous women in pastel prairie
dresses. This is the first introductory text on Mormonism that
tracks not only the mainstream LDS but also two other streams
within the movement-the liberalized RLDS and the polygamous
Fundamentalists-thus showing how Mormons have pursued different
approaches to defining their identity and their place in society.
The book addresses these questions. Are Mormons Christian, and why
does it matter? How have Mormons worked out their relationship to
the state? How have Mormons diverged in their thinking about gender
and sexuality? How do rituals and regulations shape Mormon lives?
What types of sacred spaces have Mormons created? What strategies
have Mormons pursued to establish a global presence? Mormonism: The
Basics is an ideal introduction for anyone wanting to understand
this religion within its primarily American but increasingly
globalized contexts.
