Holy Spirit - Segullah

(Ruach HaKodesh, Session 21) This is the final session in the Ruach HaKodesh series. In this session we start off by reviewing the last seven sessions of the series. We talk about what it means to live by the Spirit. Paul uses this and similar phrases in his letters, such as “walking by the Spirit.” We discuss holiness, conviction, and the importance of obedience. We also discuss prayer and take time to evaluate our personal prayer life. We finish this session by emphasizing the need for discipl

(Ruach HaKodesh, Session 20b) In the last session we defined revival as “a God-empowered widespread move of repentance.” We can also add a sense of renewal to that.

While the phrase “spiritual warfare” is not found verbatim in Scripture, the concept is clearly expressed in passages like Ephesians 6:10–18. Here, Paul uses the metaphor of physical armour and warfare to describe the spiritual battle that we are in as believers. We have an enemy, and this world is currently under his domain. Our job is to overcome si

(RuachHaKodesh, Session 18b) How can we tell the difference between the power of the Holy Spirit and man-made sensationalism? That is the question this episode seeks to address. It is necessary for us to hunger for more of God’s presence in our lives, but it is also necessary to exercise discernment. In part 1 of this topic, we looked at the Biblical basis for desiring God’s power in our lives, and then we touched on the topic of signs and wonders. This current episode continues the conversatio
