Description

The Christian life is not a set of rituals or teachings, but a relationship with God through His Holy Spirit. No matter how much you know about the Bible, no matter how strong your self-discipline, no matter how hard you try to serve and please God, if your relationship with the Holy Spirit is weak, the Christian life will not work for you. In Experiencing the Spirit, Heidler shows how God wants to unleash His power in your life, to bring you into dynamic, life-giving relationship with the Spirit of God. We were given the Holy Spirit to make the Christian life experiential, to make Jesus real in our lives. So stop struggling to survive from week to week and start living every minute in the power He has given you.

Praise for E XPERIENCING THE S PIRIT

Experiencing the Spirit is must reading. It can heal and change whole communities of faith. Robert Heidler contends that we should live every moment sustained by the energies of the Holy Spirit. Walking in cadence with the Spirit is the best way—the only way—to overcome the gravitational pull of the flesh.
JOE ALDRICH
PRESIDENT, MULTNOMAH BIBLE COLLEGE, PORTLAND, OREGON
Experiencing the Spirit is an outstanding book. Robert Heidler’s excellent presentation of the many facets of the Holy Spirit is done in a remarkable manner that will bring insight to those who doubt the existence or need of the Holy Spirit today; instruct those who have never experienced Him; and bless the new believer and the mature Spirit-filled Christian. As a pastor, I am pleased to have available to me and my flock a book that speaks the truth, is scripturally based and presented with personal testimonies of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in our world today.
JOHN M. BENEFIEL
FOUNDER AND SENIOR PASTOR, CHURCH ON THE ROCK OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA
Robert Heidler’s theological foundation at Dallas Theological Seminary combined with his own personal encounters with the Holy Spirit provide an excellent context for this book. The Church today needs teachers with such passion for Jesus, responsible exegetical skills and a genuine life flow in the Holy Spirit. We also need more books like Experiencing the Spirit .
MIKE BICKLE
SENIOR PASTOR, METRO CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP VICE PRESIDENT, GRACE TRAINING CENTER OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
Robert Heidler’s book clearly describes the power available to ordinary people to see tremendous change in their lives through the work of the Holy Spirit. Heidler’s instructions on learning to hear the voice of God are simple enough to draw even young Christians into a dynamic interaction with the Spirit of God. The study guide at the end of the book will enable students of the Word to examine each precept in depth. This book is a must read for those who desire a greater flow of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and who are hungry for more of God’s manifest presence.
MARY A. GLAZIER
FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT, WINDWALKERS INTERNATIONAL ANCHORAGE, ALASKA
This outstanding book will serve as a bridge-builder in the Body of Christ. Too often we have argued over the Spirit’s ministry and thereby limited Him in His ongoing work in the Church. I especially liked Robert’s analysis of the Holy Spirit’s work in the individual believer’s life as: (1) indwelling; and (2) empowering. The author’s outstanding teaching gifts shine through this entire volume. I do not know of a better contemporary book about the Spirit.
JIM HODGES
PRESIDENT, FEDERATION OF MINISTERS AND CHURCHES, INC. DUNCANVILLE, TEXAS
Robert Heidler has given us valuable insight into God’s purpose for giving the Holy Spirit to His people. Experiencing the Spirit will help you to know intimately the full life of Christ in your life. It will also help you to be instrumental in ministering the Holy Spirit to others. Bless you, Robert, for your commitment to Christ and His Church.
BILL HAMON
AUTHOR OF APOSTLES, PROPHETS AND THE COMING MOVES OF GOD PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER, CHRISTIAN INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA
Robert Heidler’s book Experiencing the Spirit draws the reader into an intimate encounter with the Holy Spirit. For everyone who wants a deeper, richer relationship with the Lord, this book is a must!
CINDY JACOBS
COFOUNDER, GENERALS OF INTERCESSION COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO
There is not another book as needed today in the Body of Christ as Experiencing the Spirit . Not only has Robert Heidler experienced the Spirit, but he communicates the principles of relationship better than anyone I know. Read, study and meditate through these principles. You will be empowered and equipped in a new way.
CHUCK D. PIERCE
DIRECTOR, WORLD PRAYER CENTER COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO
Experiencing the Spirit is a refreshing, life-giving book! Not simply theory or theology but totally biblical, it will whet your appetite for the reality and power of the Holy Spirit. You will settle for nothing less than to trust Him, cooperate with Him and enjoy Him to the utmost!
MARY AUDREY RAYCROFT
TEACHER, AUTHOR, SPEAKER, LEADERSHIP TEAM MEMBER TORONTO AIRPORT CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA
One of the most important books ever written about the person, the ministry and the power of the Holy Spirit. And with rivers of revival flowing to all corners of the world, it couldn’t have come at a better time! Robert Heidler has given us a masterful study of the Spirit and the Word.
DUTCH SHEETS
AUTHOR OF THE RIVER OF GOD PASTOR, SPRINGS HARVEST FELLOWSHIP COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO
Robert Heidler is an insightful biblical thinker who brings clarity to the person and purpose of the Holy Spirit. Experiencing the Spirit will create within you the desire to know the Holy Spirit in the fullness of God’s intended purposes for His people and His kingdom.
JEAN STEFFENSON
FOUNDER, NATIVE AMERICAN RESOURCE NETWORK CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO
Every true believer sows precious seed in God’s kingdom. Robert Heidler sows seed for the end-time harvest—seed both precious and necessary. As Robert writes, “Most Christians have little concept of the resources God has given us.” Beyond my feeble concepts exists a deep hunger for the things of the Spirit and for the Spirit Himself. Thank you for this timely word from the heart of King Jesus!
FRED SUUGIINA BRODIN, LITT. D.
SERVANT TO 1ST NATION’S PEOPLES FAIRBANKS, ALASKA
During this season of renewal and revival, hungry hearts are searching for a fresh encounter with the Lord. Experiencing the Spirit provides a solid biblical foundation and practical instruction for a life characterized by the supernatural. It’s a marvelous way to lead believers into a life empowered by the Holy Spirit!
BARBARA WENTROBLE
PRESIDENT, WENTROBLE CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES DUNCANVILLE, TEXAS
Robert Heidler is one of the most anointed teaching “gifts” given by God to the Body of Christ today. I wholeheartedly endorse Experiencing the Spirit as a rich resource of wisdom and practical helps on developing a vibrant, living relationship with the Spirit of God.
WAYNE WILKS, JR., PH.D.
INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR, MESSIANIC JEWISH BIBLE INSTITUTE ODESSA, UKRAINE AND BUDAPEST, HUNGARY
God’s plan is to empower His people through the Spirit. Robert Heidler shows us how to move from simply taking a theoretical or theological position on the Holy Spirit to experiencing Him as a person through His manifest presence and power. Read this book and you will not only be changed but also begin to release the Holy Spirit’s power and presence to those around you. I highly recommend it.
