I will switch focus now to a book written by Jim Cymbala, Pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle. It is entitled Fresh Power: Experiencing the Vast Resources of the Spirit of God.
I remind the reader of my books and blogs that I have presented compelling evidence for dualist interaction between the immaterial Mind of God and the immaterial mind of Man through the material brain’s neural synaptic networks. As we learn more and more about the process by which the immaterial cognitive mind interacts with the neural networks of the human brain we can safely conclude that the Mind of God likewise communes with us via the same mechanisms, at least in part. It is God’s Holy Spirit sent by His resurrected and living Son, Jesus Christ, who enables this intimate communion with the human spirit and soul in repentance.
The excerpts I will post will speak to real experiences with the Holy Spirit described by Cymbala. Cymbala states that “we need the Spirit desperately.” It is time for the church to let the Holy Spirit “get hold of us.” He draws examples from Scripture and from the sidewalks of New York City, showing “what happens when the Spirit of God moves in our midst.”
