LIVING BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT E-CLASS SERIES
offered by Sundie Morning Sistas

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to "Living by the Power of the Holy Spirit E-Class Series"! I believe this class is essential to those of you who wish to go higher in the things of God and I will tell you why.   The information contained within these teachings is designed with one central goal in mind.  That goal is to place within your grasp spiritual information that will impact your consciousness so profoundly that it is unimaginable to you right now.  

This is not to say that you have not heard or read some of this information before, but it may not have been explained in a way that you understood it. Or it could be that you simply were not ready then to hear the truth.  If you have been studying with Sundie Morning Sistas a while, you may have heard me say many times that people can only accept the truth in small doses.  There is revelation from the Word of God that will blow your socks off.  It exists this very moment and has existed for longer than you and I can count; however, we were not prepared to hear, process, and understand that revelation before now or else it would already be in our repertoire of believing; and even if we are ready, we can only process it in small doses.  We must give it time to filtrate the recesses of our minds and hearts, so that it can take root and cause us to flourish.

1Corinthians 3:2 KJV
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able.

The fact that you have committed yourself to take this class speaks volumes about your thirst and hunger for the truth. It signals the heavens that you are ready for more than milk; you are ready to handle the meat. And in order to fully prepare your mind and heart to digest it-you must have some idea of what the truth is and how to apply it.

We know that the Word of God is truth. And walking in its truth is the only way to increase our spiritual strength to the point of obtaining elevation and promotion.  It is the definitive authority on everything pertaining to life and Godliness. We can tell others that we believe it all day long, but until we actually put it on like a second skin and walk in it, our declaration means very little.

There are those who will tell us that if we look deep enough within we will find the truth.  We can look all we want, but unless the indwelling Holy Spirit is anchored in our innermost—we will not find the treasure we seek.  Our truth is found in the central and spiritual reality of Jesus Christ.  Everything that can be gleaned from the scriptures will lead us to becoming more and more like him.

The impetus for wanting to explore the reality of Christ is anchored in one's love for God, and we must know that this God-kind-of-love isn't stagnant or inflexible.  It produces, it motivates, and changes things. The same way that the love of God has changed things--the way that it formed the universe and everything within it--is the same way it will change us. It will give us the ability to call things that are not as though they were.  It will give us authority and power over our circumstances, and it will extend to us a spiritual strength and intellect that allows us to communicate more intimately with God.

There is more exciting revelation available in our day and time than any other in history. Some of us will use it to leap spiritual mountains in a single bound.  Others will remain glued to the ground. The difference between the two boils down to how much of that revelation we are prepared to receive and act on. It depends not only how we view the person of Jesus Christ, but also one's level of belief regarding his or her ability to manifest the reality of Christ in his or her life.

It is our belief that you are in fact ready to leap the highest spiritual mountain that you can explore.  You are ready to know more of the truth, to act upon it and apply it, or else you would not be reading this.  With that being said, you have been led to take this class because you are "prepared" to receive and act on the truth--the truth that will help you to grow so that not only will you have the spiritual strength to reach and grab what is  rightfully yours, but you will begin to witness the unfolding of your purpose within the will of God.

There are three main goals of the "Living by the Power of the Holy Spirit E-Class Series". They are:

·         To increase your knowledge of the Word of God to the point that you more fully understand His plan and your divine purpose within it.

·         To increase your spiritual growth and development to the point where you live by the power of the Holy Spirit, walk in truth and purpose, and are able to reach out and grab the blessings you so earnestly desire.
