Conquering With Christ

This book reveals the need to understand the workings of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life. God's soldiers can't walk in conquering power without comprehending the truth that such power comes from a life guided by the Holy Spirit. Although Jesus is the Son of God, while on this earth, He walked in the power of the Spirit. It's Christ's example that reveals to us what can be done when we deny our flesh and surrender our life to the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is endeavoring to awaken us to the truth that we have the power over the devil. Satan has deceived many into accepting defeat, sin, sickness, etc., when Christ conquered the devil's power and authority by His shed blood on the cross of Calvary. The power of the Spirit makes us more than we are and fills us with supernatural energy to conquer the fiercest storms, face mountainous obstacles, and stand firm against all Satan's strategies. By the time God's soldiers finish reading this book, we should understand the Third Person of the Godhead, that the day of Pentecost was only the beginning of the Spirit's outpouring, and realize how to walk in the conquering power of the Holy Spirit within.

This in-depth study on the realm of death presents a message of hope held by the first generation of Christians and the early church. Using Scripture, patristic tradition, early Christian poetry, and liturgical texts, Archbishop Hilarion explores the mysterious and enigmatic event of Christ⿿s descent into Hades and its consequences for the human race. Insisting that Christ entered Sheol as Conqueror and not as victim, the author depicts the Lord⿿s descent as an event of cosmic significance opening the path to universal salvation. He also reveals Hades as a place of divine presence, a place where the spiritual fate of a person may still change. Reminding readers that self-will remains the only hindrance to life in Christ, he presents the gospel message anew, even in the shadow of death.

Power has a God-given role in human relationships and institutions, but it can lead to abuse when used in unhealthy ways. Speaking into current #MeToo and #ChurchToo conversations, this book shows that the body of Christ desperately needs to understand the forms power takes, how it is abused, and how to respond to abuses of power. Although many Christians want to prevent abuse in their churches and organizations, they lack a deep and clear-eyed understanding of how power actually works. Internationally recognized psychologist Diane Langberg offers a clinical and theological framework for understanding how power operates, the effects of the abuse of power, and how power can be redeemed and restored to its proper God-given place in relationships and institutions. This book not only helps Christian leaders identify and resist abusive systems but also shows how they can use power to protect the vulnerable in their midst.
