 The
Ministry and Role of the Holy Spirit
This lesson describes and identifies the role of the
Holy Spirt as the third person of the Godhead. The
purpose in this lesson is not to exalt the person of the
Holy Spirit above Jesus and the Father, but to simply
show us that it takes all three persons in the Godhead
working in our lives for us to be complete and that it
takes having a relationship with the person of the Holy
Spirit to be able to give full honor and glory to the
Father and the Son.
It also takes a having a relationship with the
person of the Holy Spirit for us to come into the
fullness of what God has destined for our lives.

 The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
Following the
resurrection of Jesus and His ascension into the
heavens, one of the first essentials Jesus exhorted His
disciples to acquire was the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
In fact, He told them to wait in Jerusalem and not to go
anywhere until they received it.
This lesson is designed to give you a doctrinal view of
the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as well as an
experiential view of why it is so vital to our Christian
experience.

 Our Great Salvation
The Bible refers to our common salvation experience as a
great salvation, a salvation that Old Testament prophets
and righteous men and even angels have desired to look
into, but could not experience. We now have the
privilege of experiencing something these great heroes
of our faith were never able to experience.
In this lesson, our goal will be to look into this
great salvation that has been freely given to us by the
Father and to see why it is so great. What are
components of salvation that make it so great? How do we
receive all that God intended for us to experience
through this Great Salvation?

 The Healing Covenant
The purpose of this message is to show you that healing
is a part of God’s divine nature that is being poured
into the hearts of His people. It is also a part of the
great covenants that God has established with His people
throughout the ages. Healing was a part of the Old
Covenant under the law and is also a part of the New
Covenant under grace that was established through the
blood of Jesus Christ.
This lesson will help to convince you that God desires
all of His children healed and well, just as He desires
everyone to come to repentance. It is His will that all
be healed and experience healthy lives.

 Water Baptism
Water baptism is a vital part of the Christian experience as we will see
in this study. In fact, it is a
very necessary part of the
spiritual foundation that is
being built in our lives. It is
much more than a Christian
ritual. Like everything else in
the Christian life, we must have
the application of faith in it,
in order to experience what God
has truly purposed for the
Christian in water baptism.

 The
Divinity of Jesus Christ
This is the purpose of this Lesson is to come
to a greater level of faith and belief in who Jesus
Christ is so that we may experience more of the
abundant life He has to offer us. The lesson
draws from the Gospel of John and the Book of
Hebrews to reveal Jesus as God come in the flesh.
The Gospel of John begins by introducing Him as God,
who has now come in the flesh.
The Book of Hebrews points out that in Christ there is far more than an Old Testament faith offered.
There is a maturity, an experience with God, a full
and complete salvation that through history had
awaited Jesus'
coming. It is this full salvation that the Book of
Hebrews explains.The Book of Hebrews begins with Jesus because total confidence in Him must be the
basis of our new life, and of our identity as
Christians.

 The
Majesty of Who God is
One of life's greatest pursuits is that of discovering
God in all of His glory and
majesty, a
discovery that enables you to come
to a deeper
understanding and revelation of who God is. It will
allow you to experience His wonderful attributes
coming alive in your heart, resulting in a greater
level of intimacy with Him. You will be able to see
with the eyes of your understanding the wonders He
has prepared for you as you partake of all that He
has for you.
When
we perceive God in the same way in which He
perceives us,
there is an agreement in the Spirit that brings a
deeper level of intimacy and understanding with Him,
which causes us to seek Him with a full heart
of assurance, coming boldly into His presence.

 Unraveling
the Mystery of the Godhead
The study of the Godhead is an important doctrine for
the Christian to understand. It is one of the major
doctrines that orthodox Christianity teaches. It is a
doctrine that separates Christianity from cults and so
called Christian cults. It is considered a great mystery
in Scripture, of which in this lesson our goal is to
unravel this great mystery.
The question that arises concerning the Godhead, is how
can God, who is one God, be three persons? God in the
Bible is shown to be three distinct personalities: God
the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

 Satan's
Origin and Fall
Who is Satan and where did he come from? This is a
question of great importance. The answer to this
question gives us insight into his characteristics and
how he tries to operate in our lives.
As born again
Christians, we
have been delivered from the power of darkness. There
was a time when all of us were under the influence of Satan's domain. Now that
we have been translated into the kingdom
of God, we should not take lightly that we still have an
enemy who wants to bring harm to us and render us
ineffective as ambassadors of God's kingdom.
