THE POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT Volume 4 THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT VOLUME IV DON DeWELT College Press, Joplin, Missouri Copyright® 1976 College Press Publishing Company Second Printing — 1982 Third Printing — 1988 Printed and Bound in the United States of America All Rights Reserved International Standard Book Number: 0-89900-126-2 THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT A WORD TO OUR READERS It has been more than thirteen years since we published Volume One of The Power of the Holy Spirit (1963). Each volume has grown in size. Volume One has 150 pages, Volume Two (1966) has 200 pages, and Volume Three (1971), 250 pages. Volume Four (1976) has more than 400 pages. One day, Lord permitting, we shall offer a study in Volume Four of all the references to the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament. At present we want the present material in Volume Four to get into the hands and hearts of those who have waited so patiently for its publication. Please notice the rather complete bibliography in each of the volumes. Such extensive publishing on the subject of the Holy Spirit should give some indication of His importance to many people. In the preparation of Volume Four, we have made ourselves acquainted with several books on each verse we have considered on the Holy Spirit. We want our readers to know of the splendid resources available. We quote from a rather large number of authors. Buy these books and read them. You need not agree with everything you read in a book, but read it. Our estimate of the worth of such books many times accompanies our quotations from them. Because our approach to this subject has been much more personal than that found in some of our other writing we have paused often for a long time before expressing a conviction on the truth being considered. I do indeed want always to be “the first to partake of the fruit.” Yours in Him, Don DeWelt September, 1976 ii BIBLIOGRAPHY BIBLIOGRAPHY POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, VOLUME IV We are glad to acknowledge our indebtedness to Ira J. Martin and his book Glossolalia — A Bibliography, published by Bethany Press, Cleveland, Tennessee, 1970. We recommend that our readers purchase this important book.

  • The Child of Dawn
    THE CHILD OF DAWN & BOOK OF RAPHA: A PROPHETIC & POETICAL MISCELLANY: WHEREIN IS EXPOUNDED THE MYSTERY OF BEING; THE ORIGIN & END OF CREATION; NATURE & SUPERNATURE; ALSO THE WAY OF DELIVERANCE FOR THE SOUL FROM MATTER TO SPIRIT; AS IT GREW & TOOK FORM DURING THE MAKING OF THIS BOOK; FINALLY & ESPECIALLY, A REVELATION OF THE DAWN OF A NEW DISPENSATION, & ELUCIDATION OF WHAT IS MYSTICALLY MEANT BY THE DIVINE CHILDHOOD [Here a little picture—J.C. as a boy, with halo, reading a book, and holding a cross.] The holy Child Iesous on Mount Calvary introduced his Divine Humanity into the very ultimates of nature, thereby making spiritual salvation available for all & each. He will never come again in the flesh. But He is at this very day returning to our earth in an interior mystical way, in order to complete the work he then began. His name in the heaven of heavens is Ra-El-Phaos. (Made in obedience to the dictate within by Ralph) THE SOUL & THE SAVIOUR “Little bird That beat’st in vain Thy wings against The windowpane, “Be guided by My loving hands. The door is near And open stands!” “Alas, for dread I cannot fly. Oh, touch me not Or I shall die!” JESUS CHRIST is the universal Saviour and Shepherd, who alone can guide all the lost sheep & lambs into one fold. (By these are meant the stray emotions and wandering proclivities of the soul so dear to Freud and his followers). Rapha is an aspect of his sovereignty. Science is the blind leading the blind.

  • SPIRITUALITY in the FICTION of HENRY RIDER HAGGARD a Thesis
    SPIRITUALITY IN THE FICTION OF HENRY RIDER HAGGARD A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of RHODES UNIVERSITY By JOHN SENIOR December 2003 ABSTRACT Neither an unquestioning support for British imperialism nor a personal pre-Jungian philosophy were the driving forces behind Rider Haggard’s beliefs or his literature. These two concerns were secondary to the author’s fascination with the supernatural, a theme prominent in his era, but less so in our own. A declining faith in European religion provided the dominant focal point in Haggard’s work. Although there are important overtones of imperial concern and indeed points of Jungian significance in the texts, these are generally subservient to an intensive wide-ranging spiritual discourse. The place of Haggard’s work in history and its literary merit are thus misunderstood when his spiritualism is not taken into account. No analysis of the author’s work can be complete without first coming to terms with his spiritual ideas and then with their impact on other topics of significance to both the author and audiences of his day. The spiritual or religious aspect of his writing has been largely ignored because of its subtle nature and its relative unfashionability throughout most of the twentieth century in the critical and intellectual climate of the Western world. However, in the Victorian era, under the materialist impact of Darwin, Marx and industrialization, Europe's Christian God was pushed from centre stage, creating widespread spiritual hunger and anguish. In the resulting religious vacuum Haggard's overtures were of particular significance to his audience.

  • HAGGARD/HOGGARD FAMILIES a Person's Most Treasured Possession
    HAGGARD/HOGGARD FAMILIES A person's most treasured possession, their most valued asset, is their name. Everyone at heart is an ancestor worshipper. No one need to be ashamed of a proper and wholesome family pride. All the races of mankind, from the most primitive tribes to the most sophisticated, have preserved by some means the descent of their great families, their chiefs and commoners. The sacred contain a great many genealogies, passed down by word of mouth, in poem, song and chant, for many generations before they were committed to writing. The family is the cornerstone of our civilization, vital to our racial, national and personal security. For most of us it is not possible to trace with accuracy before the time when surnames were first adopted. The nomads of the dark ages felt no need of surnames, nor did their contemporaries in the established communities, the hamlets and manors where all lived under the patronage of their local Lord. At first there was but one house, the Lord's hall whose inhabitants bore personal names related to their occupation or their personal characteristics, or their aspirations in this world or the next. By the time the whole of Europe was won to Christianity most of the names familiar to us today as Christian names had been chosen. In those days when communities were small and men were closely bound by personal allegiance to each other, each was identified by a single name only, but as the population increased, communication, trade and travel became easier, confusion would arise unless there was some way of identifying particular persons of the same name.

  • Farm Sermons Preface
    Farm Sermons by Charles Spurgeon Preface While the earth abideth with her seed-time and harvest, some men will be tillers of the soil. The day may come when there will be no more squires, but there will be sure to be farmers. Whether there be lords, they shall cease, or lawyers, they shall vanish away, but farmers shall remain. Both good and evil husbandmen, Cains and Noahs, will plough furrows and reap harvests until the end come. Hence there will always be need of Farm Sermons. Sermons to slingers and archers, to falconers and troubadours would now find scarce a reader, but farmers are as plentiful as ever and discourses designed for them will find hearers if they deserve them. It is fit that farmers should have sermons gathered out of their own occupation, for it is one which, above all others, abounds in holy teaching and as it would be ill for dwellers in the Indies to go from home for gold and spices, so would it be unwise to leave the field and the plough in search of instruction. He who dwells at Newcastle wastes time when he goes far for coals. He who lives by the labor of the field will be foolish if he neglects the teaching of nature for the most glittering philosophy. Some of the mightiest of prophets and preachers came from the plough and surely that must be a good college which has furnished such able divines. As all the world is fed by the produce of the farm, so may all men’s minds find food in meditating upon the ways of God in nature and providence, as seen by the husbandman.
