Loading player...
This essay by Prof WJ Hattingh from Auckland Park Theological Seminary will unfold as follows:
- I will first discuss two serious misconceptions that hinder the understanding of the working of the Holy Spirit.
- Secondly, I will give a Biblical alternative of the Holy Spirit and His work, with examples from the Old Testament.
- Then we will shortly look at the magnificent promise made in Joel 2.
- I will discuss an important Hermeneutic key to guide our understanding of the work of the Holy Spirit.
- We will then briefly look at the working of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ ministry.
- We will especially give attention to Jesus’ visit to His disciples during the night after His resurrection and His command to them a few days before His ascension.
- In conclusion, I will present three truths we cannot disregard.
