Have you learned the secret to a life that is wholly surrendered to the leading of the Holy Spirit? Part of Andrew Murray’s classic Secret Series devotionals, The Secret of Power from On High simply presents how to exercise the great privilege of close fellowship with God in prayer through the Holy Spirit and the meaning of a life of all-prevailing intercession.

In Power from on High, Charles Finney boldly uncovers the awful truth that today’s Christians, even Church leaders, are sadly lacking from the critical gift of power, but he offers hope as he reveals the wonderful fact that this power is available to every Christian who dares ask for it in faith.

The Holy Spirit, or, Power from on high: an unfolding of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit in the Old and New Testaments. Part I. The Old Testament.

Power from on High offers the first critical survey of scholarship on the subject of Luke's view of the Spirit, assessing the rival theories by means of three criteria: continuity with Luke's background, relationship to other aspects of Luke's theology, and Luke's place in the development of more general New Testament thinking about the Spirit. Turner provides fresh insight on specific Lukan concepts and favored terms (including such phrases as "full of the Holy Spirit" and "baptize with the Holy Spirit") that have been of significance not merely for the discipline of New Testament studies but also for confessional theologies of major streams of Christianity today, and seeks to advance a more coherent understanding of the general shape of Luke's pneumatology than has hitherto been offered.

We pray, “Thy will be done.” We encourage others by saying, “If it is God’s will, it will work out.” But do we really understand God’s purpose for our lives? Do we know how to live in the center of His will? You can walk daily in power and confidence, with a clear path leading to the blessings God desires for you. The key to experiencing depth of peace and certainty lies in God’s will. Discover how you can live knowing your life, actions, and prayers are making a difference, and ultimately find a place of strength with rest and joy with fruitfulness: the very center of God’s will.

________How did He do it?______ How did Jesus do it? How did He heal the sick, open the eyes of the blind, and set the captives free at every opportunity? And how did His disciples do it after He ascended into heaven? Some may say, Jesus could do it because He was God. But that point of view, suggesting that we cannot do it because we are not God, falls short of what Jesus promised His disciples in the Gospel of John: Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father [John 14:12, NKJV]. If the Lords promise to His disciples is true--that we can and should be doing the same works He did--and greater, then there must be answers in the word of God, there must be keys to help us understand how. With revolutionary prophetic insight, The Secret to Holy Spirit Authority: In the Power of the Spirit reveals step by step how Jesus did it, how His disciples did it, and how Christian believers today can rise up spiritually to walk in His steps and set the captives free. revolutionary prophetic insight ____________________________________ David Charles Craley is a writer, editor and, for more than four decades, a researcher and teacher of the Bible.
