I first came across your material when listening to Pastor Dwight Nelson [see below] on his weekly podcast.It totally impacted my soul at once. I had heard about other Holy Spirit materials before, but I confess that I never cared much for them. I definitely believethat for some reason, God has chosen this current time to reach more peoplewith the Holy Spirit. And I’m so glad I have found it from your efforts.One thing I can witness to you: Right in the first chapter we are exposedin a simple way to very powerful truths which call our minds to stop and rethink. And the process of reading multiple times is very effective. To everybody whom I talk, discuss and preach about the book, the Holy Spirit subjectbecomes more and more attractive again. It’s like we are hearing about it forthe first time. I can see it in myself. I could not move out of the first chapterbefore preaching at least 3 sermons about the subject covered in it. I just don’tknow how to better explain it, but I could not stop reading the book and theresults of that were felt in my churches. I did spread the word, and this lastyear my district has shown a significant growth. All of that I attribute to Godand the way the Holy Spirit has empowered our members. And we are lookingfor more to come in the new year!D.R.

A FRUITFUL LIFEJesus:“ He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears MUCH FRUIT ” John 15:5How can I abide in Jesus?Jesus invites us: Come to Me! (Matt. 11:28) Whoever has come to Jesus isalso invited to remain. (John 15:4) And how does this work?“Abide in Me, and I in you.”“Abiding in Christ“ means: a constant receiving of His Spirit a life of unreserved surrender to His service.” Desire of Ages p.676.2This explanation really opened my eyes and gave me clarity for my walkwith God. For me this is the secret to a happy Christian life. (John 15:11) It ismy prayer and special wish that this will also show many the way to a joyfuland fulfilled life. These words are the foundation for the three booklets inthe series, Steps to Personal Revival.What ist the connection of the three booklets in theSteps to Personal Revival series?No. 1No. 2No. 3Steps to Personal RevivalBeing filled with the Holy SpiritHow can you experience this?It is about a constant asking and receiving of His Spirit.Abide in JesusHow is this done?It is about a life of unreserved surrender to Jesus Christ.Spirit-filled Co-Workers with JesusHow can you become a Spirit-filled co-worker?It is about unreserved surrender to His service with all itsbrilliant consequences.(Available Autumn 2019)EncouragementExperience has shown that the study of these precious truths is particularlyblessed, when, following the personal study a daily common devotionis performed in twos.

Day 1INTRODUCTIONSTEPS TOPERSONAL REVIVALFilled with the Holy SpiritWhy was it that I was suddenly andintensively occupied with the matter of“Life in the Holy Spirit“?On August 14, 2011, when I was in Kandergrund in the Bernese Highlands inSwitzerland an important connection became very clear to me. I recognizeda spiritual cause for why we are losing part of our youth which shocked megreatly. I thought of my children and grandchildren. Since then I have beenintensively occupied with this subject.Now I believe that the same spiritual cause is behind many of ourproblems; specifically, personal problems, problems in marriagesand families, in local churches and the world-wide church. It is thelack of the Holy Spirit.If this is the cause, then we should urgently address this issue. If thecause can be eliminated or considerably reduced, then many problems willbecome superfluous or will be resolved.8INTRODUCTIONSTEPS TO PERSONAL REVIVAL
