The Abuse of the Holy Spirit

Costi Hinn
About this episode

The Holy Spirit is quite possibly the most misunderstood and abused member of the Holy Trinity. Some people don’t believe He is God, others think He is merely a mystical force or some abstract expression of God. His work, His deity, and His personhood are all essential Christian truths. In the midst of a generation ripe with false teaching that confuses people on this vital doctrine, this episode will help you avoid error and relish in the truth. Costi Hinn highlights several examples of blasphemy regarding the Spirit’s work, then provides 3 glorious reasons why getting the doctrine of the Holy Spirit matters.
