Who is the Holy Spirit?

Greetings,  

Welcome to the Celebrate Relationship Seminars. We believe God wants a relationship with you.  That’s why He created you and that is why Jesus Christ came to save what was lost.  A relationship with God the Father will restore your value, your identity and your destiny.  A relationship with God the Son will save you, give you a place, purpose and the Holy Spirit who comes to live within.  A relationship with God the Holy Spirit will restore to you the voice of God and supernatural gifting. It will enable you to continue the ministry of Jesus Christ.  All three seminars open to you the power for real and permanent change which is called sanctification and transformation.   

Relationship is what life is all about.  Jesus considered relationship our most important task (John 17:3).  It is in relationship that God makes Himself known to us and that we can know ourselves and each other.  Jesus said that relationship with God is your highest relational goal (Mark 12:29-31). 

The way you do relationship will determine your success in life and in eternity. Satan lost his relationship with God and is out to destroy yours (John 10:10). Because of this, you will experience pressure in your relationships. The best way to learn how to do relationship successfully is to learn to ask God to reveal what He wants to do in you before focusing on the issues of others.   

The first seminar consists of seven topics.  We start with teaching that Father God is relational and conclude with teaching about covenants (God’s way of doing relationship).     

     I encourage you to submit your life to God, practice His presence and learn to resist the devil.  As you prepare yourself for ministry, I pray that God will protect you, provide for you and lead you to discover His ways. 

Goals for this seminar: 

1. Know God as Father. 

2. Develop a personal two-way relationship with God. 

3. Find out how bonding is foundational to your relational capacity. 

4. Discover the way your heart determines how you relate to God and others. 

5. Discover your Life Language so that you can learn how to communicate more effectively. 

6. Discover God’s laws of relationship. 

7. Discover the power of covenant. 

     The relational skills and tools you will learn are powerful.  Through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, they will enable you to relate the way God intended.  May God’s presence be your passion and His words your guiding light.  Remember the words of our Savior:

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30-31) 

In Christ,
