Walking In God’s Abundant Life

If Covenant is Christianity 101, then Spirit Life is Christianity 102! Spirit Life is a detailed, practical course in how to live this new life in what the Apostle Paul called, “the covenant of the Spirit”:

He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant — not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:6 (NIV)

In the New Covenant, we no longer following the law, we are following a Person, whose job is to lead us into the abundant life Jesus promised. This life can only be experienced as one lives by faith in the presence of the Holy Spirit and learns to respond to Him. While on the earth, Jesus lived his life in utter dependence upon the Holy Spirit, setting the example for all believers. We become true disciples of Christ only through learning to do what the Apostle Paul called “walking in step with the Spirit.” So how we we do this?

Session 1 is on Prayer. You will learn all that prayer is meant to encompass as a means of communicating with God. This is a great primer for the new Christian and a wonderful refresher for the seasoned believer.

Session 2 is called New Covenant Life. You will learn what the Bible teaches about the role of the Holy Spirit in your life. He is the precious gift that God the Father gives to all who receive the salvation of Jesus Christ. What is His job? How are we to relate to Him? You will learn these crucial things.

Session 3, is about the Motivational Gifts imparted by the Holy Spirit to the covenant children of God. This is not your typical gifts teaching, and hopefully you will hereafter recognize the gift (or gifts) of God in YOU.

Session 4 is called Hearing God. It presents the overwhelming Biblical evidence that God communicates with His people. This reality is crucial to the fulfillment of the Lord’s new covenant promise in Jeremiah and the book of Hebrews, that they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. You will learn a practical understanding of how this works, and how to develop the hearing ears which came with that new spirit in you.

Spirit Life is available as four-part seminar on audio CD. It is a great tool for growth in discipleship. For more information, email Tonia at tonia@shammah.org.

Additionally, Tonia’s book “They Will All Know Me” covers much of this teaching and gives practical life application. You can order this book in Tonia’s bookstore.
