Is Heaven on Earth Really Possible?
When we struggle with defeat and discouragement, the Holy Spirit is the key to victory and peace. Best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe shows how to bring order to the chaos in your life, receive God’s power to heal and deliver, fulfill your true purpose with joy, be a leader in your sphere of influence, and be part of God’s government on earth. We have access to the unseen world of the Spirit and can bring heavenly influence to earth. When you receive God’s Spirit into your life, you will find that His gifts are your birthright. Receive the fullness of God’s Spirit and start living in the spiritual power that God has promised you. “It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you” (John 16:7 NKJV).
In Middle-Class Pentecostalism in Argentina: Inappropriate Spirits
Jens Koehrsen offers an intriguing account of how the middle class
relates to Latin Americas most vibrant religious movement. Based on
pervasive field research, this study suggests that Pentecostalism
stands in tension with the social imaginary of the middle class and
is perceived as an inappropriate lower class practice. As such,
middle class Pentecostals negotiate the appropriateness of their
religious belonging by demonstrating distinctive tastes and styles
of Pentecostalism. Abstaining from the expressiveness,
emotionality, and strong spiritual practice that have marked the
movement, they create a milder and socially more acceptable form of
Pentecostalism. Increasingly turning into a middle class movement,
this style has the potential to embody the future shape of
Pentecostalism.
