Embracing the Holy Spirit: A Journey to Spiritual Growth
The Holy Spirit is the executor of the release of the demoniac of Gadara, having driven out Legion’s demons from that captive soul - He is the only power able to manifest Christ in our mortal bodies to a darkened world, if we would but yield.
Ever wondered how the Holy Spirit can transform your everyday life? In this episode of 'Beside Still Waters', Christian Javois takes listeners on a spiritual journey, uncovering the profound impact of the Holy Spirit in our daily existence. Drawing from Matthew 15:1-20, Javois paints a vivid picture of the Holy Spirit's power, from hovering over chaotic earth to multiplying a widow's oil and even hardening the waters under Peter's feet.
But the real magic happens when we yield to Him, allowing Christ to manifest in us as the Hope of Glory. Javois doesn't shy away from the tough topics either.
