Intimacy With The Holy Spirit (Part 1)

Say HiThe Lord made it clear to us that the year 2019 is a year of Supernatural Power. Wewere expected to trust God for the power of the Holy Spirit for our living and not relyon our own power or might. Zech. 4:6Most part of the year has been spent on teachings and preachings about the variousmeans by which the Supernatural Power of the Almighty God can be exhibited.Thank God for what He has done already in each of our lives by His Supernaturalpower in the first nine months and what He will yet do in the remaining part of thisyear.We shall deliberately be studying about the Holy Spirit this month as we round upwith the theme for this year. It is our prayer that the Lord will further open our eyesof understanding and give each one of us a unique, personal and glorious encounterduring and after this series in Jesus Name. We therefore welcome the Holy Spirit intoour lives, family and church for a fresh and deeper experience with Him from thisday in Jesus Name. Welcome Holy Spirit!A.
