The Holy Spirit

By Olga Pellington

The Holy Spirit is indeed subjected to the authority of God, and will only work to fulfill his purposes. God uses the Holy Spirit to distribute gifts to the members of the body of Christ. There is a distinct role that is played by the Holy Spirit. The growth of the entire church is absolutely dependant on the gifting and manifestations of the Holy Spirit, as he is directed by God, the father.

Olga Pellington

My name is Olga Mae Pellington. I was involved in the Christian community and the church from the tender age of nine. I began my life in the beautiful Caribbean island called Jamaica, where I then migrated to Canada with my belated husband and kids. I continued to live my life righteously to God and praising Him each and every day. Because without Him, nothing is possible. Today I give God all the praises, I was successful in completing and graduating with a Bachelors degree in theology and certified Chistian counselor. It was always a dream from my younger days to write and publish a book that will instill the word of God to each and every reader.

A PRAYER THROUGH

THE HOLY SPIRIT

Father, as I come into your presence, I thank you for your Eternal love, your blessings and all that you have given to me, especially the gift of Eternal life, the forgiveness of my sins and the power of the Holy Spirit in my life. I cover myself and this book with the blood of Jesus. Father please send your Holy Spirit upon me and cover me with your Shekinah glory that in all things your wisdom and light will shine forth. Holy Spirit take charge of my life, and my total self. Inspire all that is in this book as you reveal yourself to your people that they may grow even closer to you and in the knowledge of your working in their lives. I surrender all to you now for your honour and glory.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
