holy spirit encounter
groups edition
welcome.
You are about to embark on an adventure of discovering more of the Father's love, friendship, and intimacy with Jesus, and the powerful presence and work of the Holy Spirit. No matter who you are or where you have come from, there is more of God's goodness to be discovered.
This is a thirteen session journey you can pursue by yourself or in a small group. Topics include growing in expectancy, removing roadblocks to the Holy Spirit, hearing God’s voice, the filling of the Holy Spirit and ministering in healing. Please note that these sessions can be partnered with The Empowerment Pivot as another resource.
Joining together on this journey of encounter is exciting. The group of people you are gathering with today will be transformed. By the time you have completed the course of this material, you will be more deeply in love with Jesus, more fully experiencing the work of the Holy Spirit, and better equipped to be on mission with Jesus, releasing his kingdom here on Earth as it is in heaven.

"The Holy Spirit made His presence tangible in many, many ways. One lady afterward describes what happened as "the walls were dripping with the Holy Spirit." The participants were hungry for the Spirit and now are more hungry. Some are talking about leading groups, we are in awe of the move of the Spirit we witnessed."
