Is the Holy Spirit the key to everything good and right for the abundant Christian life? Pentecostals and Charismatics of the twentieth century taught, practiced, and institutionalized many Holy Spirit things: some good, some bad, some built the church of Jesus Christ, and some hurt and tore down Christians. Now in the twenty-first century, many successful churches, pastors, and Christians are hesitant, skittish, and even standoffish when it comes to the Holy Spirit. But Paul exhorted all Christians not to be ignorant concerning Holy Spirit things. You can have a warm, comfortable, constant relationship with the Holy Spirit. Baptism with the Holy Spirit can give you power to minister. Speaking in tongues can build you up inside. Walk with me as we work through the Scriptures to become informed participants in God’s “Holy Spirit plans.” In Holy Ghost Primer your questions will be answered…How can I have a close, intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit?Holy Spirit people seem to do so many weird things. Can I really have an intimate friendship with the Holy Spirit without all the “weird stuff?”Is it possible to live in the fullness of the Holy Spirit, and do it in such a way that it is decent and orderly, and builds everyone up?Do I have to be baptized with the Holy Spirit?Is speaking in tongues a genuine Holy Spirit phenomenon, or just phony, emotional stuff?Are the gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as healing and prophecy, for the church today? Or did they cease back in the first century?Is all of God inside of me, or just the Holy Spirit? Is the Holy Spirit one-third of God?And so much more! “I have known my friend, Reed Tibbetts, for thirty-six years. I am convinced that Reed is a man of absolute integrity.

If Jesus had just one night to be with you: to talk, to pray, to teach. What would He say? What would you do? The youngest apostle, whom Jesus loved, was now an old man. He had watched the gospel of Jesus Christ spread like wildfire. Millions had experienced the joyful salvation of the Lord. As John reflected on his memories, the Holy Spirit brought to his remembrance all that Jesus said and did on that Final Night before the crucifixion. So John began writing these vital words in his own gospel, in order that the church could be strengthened for the coming years. Those words would be life and health to the next generations of Christians. That’s what Final Night is all about! From the first shocking event of washing their feet, to the concluding prayer proffered to the Father about their unity, the disciples were challenged to have the best relationships of any human group or organization.

Fight or flight? Faith or fear?God or Satan? Defeat or victory?What’s it going to be?Who are you really? Christians exist in two places at the same time. Just as we sense the physical dimension with our five physical senses, so we are to sense the spiritual dimension with our spirit eyes, ears, and feelings. It’s time for Christians to stand up and be aware of our created design, heritage, and position. Let’s wrap our minds around God’s Spiritual Dimension Protocol…Eliminate Satan’s deceptions. Walk with a new God-designed confidence: No more fear!Learn to be aware of the spiritual dimension. It’s always there. Sense it, understand it, walk in confidence!Become a powerful warrior in the heavenlies. Use the keys to the kingdom of heaven and become a master of binding and loosing things in heaven and on earth!Stop the devil dead in his tracks. Understand how strong you are and how powerful he is not! Give Satan a body slam. Then do it again and again!Understand our bodies are just a container. Death is not an ending, but a transition. Fear death no more!“I have known my friend, Reed Tibbetts, for thirty-six years. I am convinced that Reed is a man of absolute integrity. He is a diligent student of the Bible.
