Many believers live their entire Christian lives without ever understanding the necessity of the Holy Spirit’s presence and work. Do you know the purpose of the Holy Spirit? Is He an impersonal force or a person we can know in an intimate way? In this message, Dr. Stanley explains how we begin to walk with the Holy Spirit and rely fully on Him. It is His grace that empowers us to resist sin and obey the Father.

The Holy Spirit helps us interpret Scripture and fellowship with the Lord. Without Him, no one can have a genuinely fruitful and victorious Christian life. When we remain sensitive to the Spirit’s guidance, depend upon Him totally, and obey, we experience life at its very best.

This message is included in the fourth volume of the set, Life Principles to Live By.

Do you want to know God better? In this series, Dr. Stanley offers in-depth teaching on 30 principles that have guided his life and ministry—truths that will help you grow in love, knowledge, and service to our Lord.
