THE LIFE IN THE SPIRIT SEMINARS
The Life in the Spirit Seminars are designed as an introduction to a life lived in the power of the Holy Spirit. They provide an opportunity to find out more about that life, and to be helped in taking the first steps of a new relationship with the Lord.
For those who are not Christians at all, they can serve as an introduction to Christianity and a time to make a first commitment to Jesus Christ. For those who are already Christians, they offer help in finding a fuller release of the Holy Spirit to live a deeper Christian life.
The seminars are a series of talks and discussions, which take place over a period of seven weeks. In the fifth week of the seminar, there is an opportunity for people to be prayed
with to be baptized in the Holy Spirit.
The four weeks before that time are devoted to an explanation of the basic Christian
message of salvation and of what it means to be baptized in the Spirit. During the final two weeks, the teaching is oriented towards further growth in the life of the Spirit.
More than a series of lectures, the Life in the Spirit Seminars are a chance for Christians who have found a fuller life in the Holy Spirit to come together with people who want to know more about that life, and to help them take the first steps of a new life themselves.
For this reason, the team that presents the seminars is one of their most important elements. To provide the right kind of contact for the people taking the seminars, there should be one team
member for every three or four new people.
The Life in the Spirit Seminars are designed to be a beginning, the first step in a completely new way of life. For people to continue to grow and develop they need to come together with others for support and further teaching. For this reason, the seminars should be presented in the context of a Christian community or prayer group where people are already living the life in the Spirit together.
