About this episode

Rev. Linda L. Adkins discusses the broader assignment of the Holy Spirit beyond common perceptions, drawing from biblical examples.

Many believers walk into Pentecost Sunday thinking they already have the Holy Spirit figured out. But in this episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda L. Adkins delivers a message from the Word that will change how you see the Spirit's work. She makes the biblical case that His assignment is far wider than giving us goosebumps or helping us out of a jam. Drawing from Genesis 11, the lions' den, and the fiery furnace, she shows how the Holy Spirit has been actively restraining evil on this earth long before Pentecost happened. Rev. Adkins walks through a clear biblical picture: all things come from the Father, through the Son, and by the Holy Spirit. And that third person chose to make His permanent home inside of you to do the work of the Kingdom.
