The Prayer Of The Holy Spirit

The various gifts of the Holy Spirit as listed in Scripture are conveyed according to the will of the Holy Spirit to every man for the eventual purpose of the edification and building up the church body.

This paper is a report on the book Engaging with God: A Biblical Theology of Worship by David Peterson, where a brief report of the book is narrated here followed by a personal assessment of the book and its content. • Jesus claims to be the Son of God and that he is also superior to David and the Temple and also as Lord of the Sabbath. Matthew suggests that Jesus complete the claims of him being ‘Immanuel’ when he promised his disciples that he will be with them to the end of the age. This is also the fulfillment of the promised to Abraham. Matthew brings about the relation of Jesus and the Scriptures where he connected the cleansing of the temple to the Old Testament form of treating the temple as the ‘house of Prayer’.

The case that seem interesting to me would be Adolfo Constanzo also known as the “Witch Doctor”, he was a serial killer in the 1980’s. He had religious history background since he was young. He eventually created his own religious cult as he chose his patron saint, pledging himself to Kadiempembre, his religion’s version of Satan. Throughout his life Constanzo perform ritual murders. In 1983, Constanzo traveled to Mexico City, were he recruited his first disciples. After multiple killings, he managed to evade police by hiding out in his Mexico City ranch until a 1989 raid, during which he asked his fellow cult members to kill him.

Whereas the principles of the fourfold worship pattern mediate the worship experience as a celebration of Christ, the Eucharistic pattern described by Stancliffe appears to permeate God’s dealings with His people in history, ministry, life and worship. Alexander Schmemann describes this pattern as a journey beginning with our entrance into the presence of Christ (27). Each metaphor offers a way of viewing the choreographed movements and narrative of worship as lifting one from the profane into the transforming presence of Holy God. Recognizing the fourfold within the Eucharistic journey is the beginning of a practical outflow the liturgy of the sacrament might represent for those who want to explore what God is doing and how they can be a part of

The Holy Spirit of God is the active force or power in one’s life, which most certainly includes spiritual formation (Pettit, 2008, p. 46). When Jesus was speaking with his disciples he made it clear – by using the analogy of a vine and branches – that apart from him they could do nothing (John 15:5). Only if one is connected to Christ will they have the ability to bear fruit and the way Jesus empowers those connected to him is through the Holy Spirt that that father will send in his name (John 14:26). The fact is that the triune God dwells in the Christian in and through the Holy Spirit. One sees this when they place multiple passages together to gain a full understanding of this concept. For example, Jesus made it clear that he and the father would come and make their home with the disciple (John 14:23). In 1 Corinthians 6:19 Paul reminds the Corinthians that their bodies are the very temple of God because the Holy Spirit dwells in them which is similar to what Jesus said would happen when he sent the Holy Spirit after his resurrection and ascension (John 14:17, 16:7).

In this paper, I will review Robert Gromacki’s book The Holy Spirit: Who He is, What He Does I will detail what I feel the book is about. I will emphasize various points given by the author that stood out to me. Finally, I will give my personal evaluation of the book.

There is a big debate whether college athletes should get paid for their participation in a sport. I believe that college athlete should get paid. College athletes are taken advantage of in college athletics and deserve to be paid for their time, hard work, and dedication in a sport. College athletics are growing very fast and they are beginning to bring in more money. The highest revenue by a college right now is $196,030,398 by the University of Oregon. College athletes are not seeing any of this money they are earning for their department. College athletes put their life on the line for their team and do not receive a single penny in their pocket. Statistics show that forty-five percent of Americans follow college sports and twenty-nine million have attended a college sports event. This shows how popular college sports are right now. Fans do not show up for the coaches for the most part, but fans show up for the team and the players. The National Collegiate Athletic Association brings in around 720 million dollars and that number is expected to grow in the next decade. The NCAA has the money to pay college athletes and they deserve to be paid. If colleges can spend millions on paying a college coach, then why can they not spend some money from the millions they make on the athletes that make their money. College athletes are underappreciated and do as much work as professional athletes and should receive money for their efforts.

The physical expression of worship is often shown through lifting of hands, kneeling in prayer, crying out to God, and a musical dance. Worship is also shown during seasonal programs or events such as: Christmas’ Eve, New Year’s Eve, and Easter. Worship, then, is enhanced, because people are of the same belief about God and His Son, Jesus Christ. The authors, Paul Engle and Steve Cowan writes, “Worship is inherently theological. It is primarily about God. Specifically, it is about how Christ-followers offer to God their love, gratitude, and praise.” Therefore, people may get distracted or misunderstand worship based on their belief in God. The day of Pentecost is example of people being on one accorded in their belief and worship to God, as

They are called out by God to experience and witness to the gospel. The work of worshipping God would invite them to gather in a ritual act of worship. Worshipping God in a tradition is led by a pastor. This would involve “preaching, teaching, healing, gathering the community, governance, outreach and community witness.” The Greek word ecclesia is referred to the people who are called out for these ministerial tasks.

Worship: Worship is the expression of regard towards God or a supernatural entity. Many religions around the world worship many God or many other gods of their religion.

In his mercy God has cast out every lesser god; yet still requires his people to agonize over the pain and suffering of others first and foremost in Christian worship. Pastors are obliged, therefore, to doggedly resolve difficult issues that pertain to worship without acquiescing to the congregational sensitivity. God requires assemblies to serve the disenfranchised optimally in the worship space first, and for this reason, assemblies need to hear teaching homilies concerning how to perform the demands of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in their ritual lives. Such teaching, in turn, clearly reveals how the Praxis of worship extends to private

The Holy Spirit plays a very vital role in the lives of each and every believer; He can strengthen us with a strength that we cannot even begin to muster up in ourselves. He can bring us joy that we cannot even begin to find in the things of this world. He can bring peace to our lives more than anything that we can ever find on this earth. “The Holy Spirit which is primarily an energizing process, is also a revealing, refining, consuming, illuminating process, and one by which we are made to glow with love to God, and love to man, and love to souls.”

Christianity believes that the Holy Spirit is the third person of God and is the same as the Son of God. He is the Lord and the Lord of Christ. Catholics and Protestants believe that the Holy Spirit by the Holy Father by the Communists, the Orthodox Church by the Father, the ages of faith, love, worship and worship. For by the grace of God, the Holy Spirit is the only one who is able to give birth to salvation; this salvation is completed by the bloodshed of Jesus Christ on the cross. The Holy Spirit lives in the heart of the believer and becomes our Counselor and sanctifies us. The Spirit comes to reveal and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, to lead us into all truths, and to manifest the sins of the world with righteousness and judgment. Through

Despite the fact that the rule of worship appear all inclusive, there is a few diverse styles of worship and ritual in light of the fact that Christian have an alternate understanding of who God is and the likewise have distinctive level of association with Him. Worship is a matter of the heart, it is an individual association with God. It is our specialty inside to join with our Maker. It is the inward cooperation, for example, discussion (talked, implicit or composed) with God, contemplation on scriptures and about integrity of God and His holly character. Worship comprise of our everyday stroll with God and all the exertion by our brain and soul to join with Him. Worship is an everyday walk with Jesus. As Christian, meet

Our next question is how we should worship. Worship is often confused as being simply music, but it can encompass much more and be manifest in other forms, such as prayer or art. According to Rory Noland, “everything we do…can be done as an act of worship” (Noland, Worship on Earth as it is in Heaven, pg. 31), this may include anything as simple as spending time with family, being involved in the community, doing dishes, or even doing chores. Worship is not something that should be done without thought, but should be intentional. As said by Steven Brooks, “worship requires action from the worshiper” (Brooks, Worship Quest, pg. 63), meaning we cannot be idle worshipers. We should worship with all of our beings, not holding anything back from God; we should give our very best to him.
