Böcker av Edward Lee Johnson Sr.

Being filled with the Holy Spirit may include speaking in tongues, but it's not limited to tongues, and neither is tongues the only evidence of being Spirit-filled. The Holy Spirit is not a performance gift but a character gift. When the performance is over, one must live a disciplined lifestyle daily. As a child, I thought that the Holy Spirit came to make you roll across the floor, dance, shout, speak in tongues, and run across the church. Growing up in the Pentecostal church, I did not understand that I could have an intimate daily walk with the Holy Spirit as my Guide, Teacher, and Friend. Most importantly, the Holy Spirit at His core is the gift of love. Once your heart is filled with the love of God, no external force can conquer you.

Good relationships require growth, and you cannot properly grow without good information. Dr. Edward Lee Johnson Sr. draws on his decades of experience in the military, as a business owner, and as a pastor to reveal how to grow as a person and live a more fulfilling life in this book. Insights include: ¿ People don't follow you because you are great; they follow you because of what you do for them. ¿ There will come a time when you'll have to cut ties but make absolutely sure it is the right time. ¿ If you think the other person is wrong, chances are he or she feels the same way about you. ¿ God's kingdom cannot be established as long as our culture, pride, and social status stand in the way.These relational tips can be used in the workplace, in church, and in the home - as well as on vacation or anytime you're meeting new people. By striving to boost communication skills and seeking to understand others, you can rise above the fray of pettiness and build meaningful relationships.
