INTRODUCTION

We propose a thorough study of the subject of the Holy Spirit, i.e. a consideration of every reference in the Bible on the subject. Whereas this will be a thorough study it shall also be very practical and personal. We shall study the subject in thirteen lessons as follows: 1. Who is the Holy Spirit? 2. Do all Christians possess the Holy Spirit? 3. How can the Holy Spirit help me? 4. Should I be baptized in the Holy Spirit? 5. Should I speak in tongues? 6. How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit? 7. How can I have the fruit of the Spirit? 8. Can the Holy Spirit help me to overcome sin? 9. How did the Holy Spirit help Christ? Is this an example for me? 10. How did the Holy Spirit inspire the writers of the Bible? 11. How can I be led of the Holy Spirit? 12. What about the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament? 13. What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?
