The Spirit Has Our Back: Realizing the Power of Prayer and the Support of the Holy Spirit

By Ed Tommasino

How can we reconcile the troublesome current situation here on earth and the biblical promises of peace on earth? Can it be that most individuals simply ignore the biblical guidance for living, choose to function on their own, and operate without the benefits of knowing God's plan? With some study, all of us can develop a spiritual knowledge that leads to peace. Knowing that there is a Holy Spirit, a spirit that will relate to your spirit giving access to guidance available in no other way, a primary tool for developing your spiritual capacity in no way discounts God the Father or Jesus the Son, they complete the Trinity, specializing in other necessary spiritual actions. The Holy Spirit specializes in providing the link, a link that can be experienced, the very evidence that produces the certainty that God is real. By simply following the principles outlined and explained in this book, you can develop your position in the spiritual realm and always have the Spirit watching your back.

Introduction

This is a guide to successful living, an accumulation of spiritual practices and tools for obtaining confidence, peace, and happiness.

As a child, we tend to trust most of what we hear and see, and early experiences tend to become the truth, having a lasting impression, regardless of the source.

Eventually, what we hold to be true will define who we become.

To a more limited degree, we experience the spiritual realm, including our personal gifts and aptitudes, our creative capacity, a consciousness of good and evil, a soul and resident personal spirit, faith and the connection to our creator. Developing knowledge of the spiritual realm releases a power that is available in no other way.

Becoming spiritual is a choice. Somewhere along the way, we are given the opportunity to develop our spiritual capabilities. I have yet to meet a person that has not given thought to spiritual issues and recognizes that, in addition to their physical qualities, they also have a soul, an inner private self.
