This second Dunamis event, In the Spirit’s Power, explores the dynamic of how we may cooperate with the Holy Spirit in the ministry of Jesus Christ.
In the process, you’ll learn about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and hear from people who have first-hand experience of them. Careful biblical exegesis, plus examples from real life, will help you understand the function and role of many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There is a general review of all the spiritual gifts, plus in-depth teaching on several such as discernment, tongues, prophecy and words of knowledge.
Significant attention is given to the process of exercising discernment to ensure we avoid the dangerous extremes and abuses, while also avoiding the powerlessness of willful ignorance.
You’ll experience a regular move from teaching on the spiritual gifts to then asking the Holy Spirit in prayer to give the gifts. As people experience the gifts, we then go back into teaching practicalities of how they should be used.
The teaching on “principles of power ministry” moves beyond only looking at the nature and use of individual gifts, and gets at the essence of how we cooperate with God in doing His work. These principles are modelled by the leadership team and are reflected on throughout the event. The purpose is provide a laboratory setting where you can begin to discern and practice these principles themselves.
