CHRISTIANITY WITH AN EDGE-WITH SCOTT E. ROKELY

Avoid the extremes in spirit-filled life. Don't put out the Spirit's fire, but don't act like an idiot either! I discuss Paul's suggested balance between extremes, and I share a lifetime of experiences, good and bad, I've had as a Spirit-filled Christian.

Is that thought just my idea or is it from the Holy Spirit? We've all been there. I discuss 7 simple rules that can help you find out whether the idea you just got is from God. Also, why the fire of the Spirit is a good thing.

Tired of the way you've been feeling lately? In this episode I attempt to describe what it feels like to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The understatement of the year is: It feels wonderful! The good news is that you also can regularly experience this life changing event.

The Spirit has given me a new parable to tell. The "Universe" is one gigantic flow of energy. Through the Spirit, we can be carried where we need to be. All we need to do is "Get in the Flow of the Spirit" and remain there.

Scientists tell us everything in the Universe radiates energy. The Holy Spirit radiates energy to anyone who remains in His Presence. Discover a way to remain tapped into and filled with the Spirit's energy. You can access the energy God uses to create and maintain this world. This way is called "Sowing to please the Spirit," and it can literally re-energize your life.

It takes a little effort to remain in the Spirit's presence. Most Christians won't pay the price. Listen to the story of a church that didn't befriend the Spirit. Don't make their mistake.

What if God wanted to give you the most awesome gift imaginable. This gift would make you happy, and be an endless source of guidance and provision for your life. Tragically, 82% of the Christians in the U.S. don't want anything to do with this gift. I discuss God's incredible gift to every Christian, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit!

Friedrich Nietzsche once famously said, "God is dead." And if you look closely at the powerlessness of many churches today, it seems he may have been right considering how irrelevant bad religion seems to make Him. But it doesn't have to be this way for you. Listen as I discuss the Life giving, creative genius of God.
