The Holy Spirit: The Key Into the Business World (and Everything Else): The Holy Spirit's Presence and Power in the Life of Norris A. K

Is it possible to be free from the slavery and powerlessness that keep us defeated? The vast majority of Christians are weak - impotent would be an appropriate adjective - and subject to forces in the world that batter us about, like daredevils who go over Niagara Falls in barrels. Most of us are poor recommendations for life in Christ. We may identify ourselves with his name, but far too often there's not a whole lot more that distinguishes our lives from anyone else who doesn't call himself a Christian. That's a tragedy. Norris Kindell, in most ways, was an ordinary man. But like Abraham, he was fully persuaded that God had power to do what he promised. Why, then, was Kindell persuaded and so many of the rest of us aren't? And what is the basis for such radical faith anyway? The unsearchable riches in Christ that Kindell enjoyed decade after decade - are they available to just any common believer in Jesus Christ? The answer lies in knowing what's already been provided to make it possible to live our lives in a way that perhaps we've thought will never happen. The foundation is the covenant - the New Covenant - where we learn what God has already provided and makes available to every believer in Jesus Christ. This is the bedrock that turns weaklings into strong people to whom God and his promises and power are wonderfully real. Those who take the trouble to fully investigate this covenant will find strength and purpose they perhaps never imagined they could have. To discover - and become convinced - that they are living in covenant with a God who has sworn faithfully to fulfill in them every promise he has given will certainly, inevitably, unavoidably change their lives forever.There can be no other outcome.
