Acts 2:17 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh.”

There can be no doubt that as we draw closer to the end of the age, that there has been a dramatic increase in the outpouring of God’s Spirit in the earth. The evidence is clear, for whereas Spirit filled believers throughout the earth at the start of the twentieth century, could be numbered in their thousands, Spirit filled believers in the earth at the start of the twenty first century, can now be numbered in their millions. This course is designed to provide a biblical framework for believers regarding our encounters with the Holy Spirit. The reason we teach on this subject, is because if saints are ignorant about what the word of God teaches about these encounters, our adversary the devil can use that ignorance to lead them into error. To have an encounter with the Holy Spirit is to have an encounter with the supernatural. And so, because most believers have never been exposed to the supernatural before they come into the kingdom of God, if they are not taught correctly, they can be vulnerable to having encounters with the wrong spirit and can thus be misled.

This course is meant for all audiences. No previous theological study is required or expected, for it is meant to give a basic understanding of what the bible says about the subject of the Holy Spirit.

Michael Maher will lecture from the bible, to walk the student through the subject ofthe Holy Spirit, and how that doctrineimpacts the life of the believer.

This course focuses on explainingthe biblical view of our encounters with the Holy Spirit.As a supplementary resource, this course canbe taken in tandem with the reading of Michael Maher’s book,Holy Spirit Encounters.

I trust that the material and the dialogue with other students will be encouraging and enlightening for all.
