Intimacy with the Holy Spirit – this course was developed to encourage you to develop a close, familiar, affectionate, and loving personal relationship with the Holy Spirit (God). He is the third person of the Trinity (three-in-one God) who is closest to us human beings. When the world was to be created, He (Holy Spirit) was the person of the Trinity who hovered over the earth, despite the emptiness, formlessness, and darkness (Genesis 1:1-2). And when human beings believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, He moves in to take up permanent residence in us. The Holy Spirit has always desired a close, personal and affectionate relationship with us.
Our very lives and existence are powered by the Holy Spirit. This extends to all things created. The scriptures in Job 33:4 says: “the Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life”. We are physically alive today because the Holy Spirit sustains us. He keeps us breathing, sustains our life expectancy, and the health of our physical bodies (Genesis 6:3). He is the giver and owner of the human spirit, without which we cannot be alive (James 2:26).
This course lets you know that the presence of God is real. We can perceive and feel it, and we can hear Him speak to us. God wants people to know the One who created them. He wants to give answers to questions like: who am I? How did I get here? What is my purpose in life? What will happen to me after this life? This settles questions of origin, identity, purpose and destination. It is the Holy Spirit that guides us into all truth.
Humans were not created by God to operate outside of the Holy Spirit. In Him we live and move and have our being. Intimacy with the Holy Spirit will recreate your life and your world. He will calm fears and troubles within and without. He will beautify your life with peace and joy.
This course will teach you how to develop an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit. The benefit of this relationship starts out as a seed sown in the ground and grows into a fully developed tree yielding all manner of fruit. It starts small but becomes powerful in its impact on your life and circumstances. Revelation 22:1-2 describes this: “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations” (NKJV).
We recommend that you take this course after taking the ‘Prayer that Moves Mountains’ course. At the end of this course, remember to take the quizzes or assignments for the course (if any). It will deepen your understanding and help us monitor your progress.
