DESCRIPTION
The Holy Spirit is the Voice of God, the Power of God and the Presence of God we experience on earth yet He is often the most ignored, misunderstood and possibly the most grieved member of the Godhead when He is not treated as a real Person but rather as a force or power. This slide series should help us love and appreciate the Holy Spirit for Whom He really is.
