Building a successful Spirit-filled life
Widely regarded as the crown jewel in Derek Prince’s vast Bible teaching archive, the Laying The Foundation series provides a thorough initiation for sound Christian living.
It is designed to help believers progress to spiritual maturity, examining six essential principles of the Christian faith as outlined in Hebrews 6:1-3, which are:
- Salvation
- Baptism
- The Holy Spirit
- The laying on of hands
- Resurrection
- Eternal judgement
A sound understanding and application of these key truths can help believers set a firm foundation for their faith and build a successful life.
Proverbs 25:2 says:
“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.” (NIV)
This passage reminds us of the importance of seeking truth and actively investing in our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Conversely, God will withhold deeper spiritual realities and insights from us until we are ready to receive them. Setting a sound foundation for faith is a key precept for spiritual development and greater understanding.
Formally known as Foundations For Christian Living, the Laying The Foundation series offers timeless Bible-based teaching that will encourage you as you grow in Christ.
