The Spirit-Filled Church: Finding your place in God's purpose

by Terry Virgo

Overview

A lucid account of the function of the Spirit in the growth of the church.

Through the history of God's people the constant element has been the presence of the Almighty. The baptism in the Holy Spirit, which so galvanized the young church, equipped and empowered the believers, boosting courage, fostering fluency and granting insights to ordinary men and women.

Terry Virgo was baptized in the Holy Spirit as a young believer, and delighted in the experience. 'As we began to welcome the presence of the Holy Spirit, our church life was transformed,' he explains. 'The presence of the Holy Spirit changed everything.' As the Spirit moves, so there are healings, often dramatic. But there is more: a discovery of God's grace. As people discover grace for themselves a far more profound healing takes place, leading first to worship, then a recognition that we are a prophetic people.

Editorial Reviews

"Finally a book on the move of the Spirit that isn't flakey, extrabiblical, manipulative or experience driven. Terry Virgo has written a truly exceptional book that is biblically sound, doctrinally consistent, and easily understood. I predict this is going to have a huge impact on the Western church in bringing it forward to a healthier understanding on not just the persons of the Trinity but the function of the Trinity today."
