Studying the Holy Spirit: Action Research Project
| | abstract |
The purpose of this Professional Project is to promote a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit, appreciation for the working of the Holy Spirit, and the necessity of developing the tools to listen and respond through meditative practices using biblical principles. By researching scholarly resources, studying, and synthesizing relevant scriptures, the paper examines three interconnected aspects of the Holy Spirit that are essential to understanding the Holy Spirit within the Christian faith. These aspects are (1) receiving the Holy Spirit, (2) the work of the Holy Spirit, and (3) hearing and heeding the Holy Spirit. In my ministry context, these elements form a comprehensive understanding within the framework of born-again Christianity. As an action research project, it is accompanied by a study guide. The Holy Spirit Study Guide informs believers of the necessity of the Holy Spirit to transform lives. The topics included are pertinent to the awareness and understanding of the Holy Spirit, which revolved around what would be most important for the believer, such as contemplation practice. The importance of the intersection of contemplation practice and the Holy Spirit is a process for Christians to become centered in their life.
