Spirit-Empowered Life

Spirit-Empowered Life
Fueling our lives from the presence and power of God.

The Charismatic Tradition focuses on the power of God’s Spirit moving in and through us. Just as a car requires fuel to run, and our bodies require food for survival, so our souls rely upon the Spirit of God for spiritual energy. Through the Spirit we are able to do more than we could on our own steam, and these abilities not only remind us of God’s presence, but equip us to build up our communities in love.

Frankly, there are no "noncharismatic Christians" . . . the Christian life is by definition a life in and through the Spirit.
~ Richard J. Foster, Streams of Living Water
