Sep 14, 2021 · Swami Brahmananda was one of the 16 monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna. Affectionately called as “Maharaj” by others, he was a divine soul, who had attained to the highest state of spiritual realization (Nirvikalpa Samadhi, or complete union with God), just as his brother disciple, Swami Vivekananda had done.

Spiritual science and material science are in complete agreement that the creation and maintenance of our universe is brought about by a force or an all-pervading, vibrating energy. The Bible says: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.

M y profound gratitude goes to Pastor Bruce Bumgardner, my friend, fellow soldier and partner in the Great Commission for his invaluable contribution in sharpening this book, “What is the Spiritual Life?” Acknowledging the importance of this book, he took time out from his busy schedule and went through the man-uscript with a fine tooth comb. The s...
W hat a time! We are living in the most interesting and exciting time in human history—when the ordinary per-son can become extraordinary and leave footprints of a spiritual legacy “in the sands of time.” To be extraordinary, you must be an authentic Christian. Did you know a person can be a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and not be an authentic...
I hope you will follow the study objectively—with an open mind, not rushing the subject matter. The truth commu-nicated herein, if properly understood and practiced, holds abundant blessing and maximum happiness for you. The first part of our study examines the following: What Is the Spiritual Life? Overview of the Life of Christ
A s a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, do you know what the spiritual life is about? Answering the question superficially will shortchange you from what God intends for you to learn from the study. Maybe you are one of the serious students of God’s Word, who time and again has asked, “What is the spiri-tual life?” Spiritual life is more than just...
The spiritual life cannot be lived by willpower, self-determi-nation and self-agonizing—not ever. It is the monopoly of the Holy Spirit. A spiritually encoded life requires divine power for its function. In the Old Testament, when God wanted things done for His glory, He provided the means—His power. Scripture is clear: “[it is] not by might [self-...
T o understand the life of Christ is to solve the mystery of living the spiritual life. This endeavor requires a brand new, high-powered microscope that enables us to see clearly the slides of the biblical teaching on His life. Many Christians, having taken the wrong road, missed the footprints of the spiritual life. They have had the wrong discipl...
You cannot live like Christ until you know Him. The question arises, “How can one know Christ?” Answer: by studying the records of His life. Jesus Christ knew this timeless principle, causing Him to do an amazing thing before He went to the cross. He presented Himself to His disciples, not only as the Messiah, but also as a role model. Having obser...
Jesus was grace oriented. Grace is an expression of a mental atti-tude free of ulterior motives, treating one not on the basis of their worth or status but on the basis of God’s perfect agape love, bestowing compassion and mercy on us the unlovely ones—”an unmerited favor.” Jesus Christ pioneered grace. The Gospel says, “Grace and truth came throug...
Part Two answers the question, “How can a Christian truly live the spiritual life and glorify God to the maxi-mum?” It underscores the ministry of the Holy Spirit as the core power source for living the spiritual life. It contains the following topics: Why Are You Indwelt by the Holy Spirit? What Is the Means for Living the Spiritual Life? Understa...
T he quest begins here “to grasp how wide and long and high and deep” the spiritual life is (Eph. 3:18 NIV). The answer to our question, “Why are you indwelt by God’s Spirit?” ought not to be taken lightly. In Christianity today, many have missed one opportunity after another to impact their world for Christ. Sadly, they live their life unaware of ...
G od in His infinite wisdom has provided us with a dual power source for living the spiritual life: the power of the Word and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Satan’s primary objective is defined as: to hinder the Holy Spirit’s ministry in your life and thus render you powerless and worthless in the spiritual arena. Launching an unceasing battle to control your soul, Satan uses the sinful nature as a vehicle. He uses it to send a barrage of assaults on your mind, eyes and ears, feeding you with thoughts ...
Years back a dedicated God-loving servant, who had a big con-gregation in Amsterdam, hosted me for a national conference. What he learned there was such an eye-opener for him that he asked if he could visit me in America. I gladly told him, “Yes!”

He took my offer and came with a notebook full of questions. We spent the whole day in my office handling those questions— one by one. When we were finished, the truth of God’s Word hit him right between the eyes. On our way back to his hotel, with excitement, he phoned his pastor friend in Australia and said to him, “Brother, listen: there comes a...
We have two important questions in this portion of our study. First, what actually does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? Second, what happens when one is filled with the Holy Spirit? The answers to these questions have eluded many Christians, and consequently they have missed the mark of a successful spir-itual life. If you pause long eno...
I suggest you go back and reexamine the fifth diagram. It is an illustration of one aspect of the Holy Spirit’s ministry. Other min-istry, as we have noted, includes, but is not limited to: supply of wisdom, boldness, courage, knowledge and more. He manifests these spiritual assets only when the believer is filled or controlled by the Holy Spirit. ...

There are five basic fundamentals in reflecting the life of Christ—total reliance on the Holy Spirit, mastering the life of Christ, feeding daily on God’s Word, desiring to glorify God and a lifestyle of prayer. Would you repeat with me the five things: total reliance on the Holy Spirit, mastering the life of Christ, feeding daily on God’s Word, a ...
Something extraordinary has taken place in the time of the Church. For the same reason the Father and the Spirit indwelled the Son—to provide power––the Father, Son and Spirit indwell you. It has never before happened in history. Christ championed the spiritual life, tested it and then He released it to the Church on the day of Pentecost.
Knowledge of the Gospels is your gateway to mastering the life of Christ. One’s knowledge of the original is always a prereq-uisite to one’s effort to copy it. The Gospels hold the treasure of the life of Christ. Pause for a moment. Are you truly living the spiritual life? I mean truly? If not, you need to get with God’s program––before He lowers t...
The last section of our study is designed to challenge the believer regarding his life and mission on earth. This section hinges on one question: “Is glorifying God your objective in life?” This section contains the following: What Is Your Priority in Life? Avoiding Deception Spiritual Self-Evaluation Impact of the Spiritual Life Reflection
P riorities define a person. What’s your priority as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ? What is at the top of your scale of values? What kind of a Christian are you—an authentic one or a superficial one? You may want to pause and think about these questions. This section has been designed to challenge anyone desiring to glorify God in the little ...
This is Satan’s number one deceptive tool. He knows if he suc-ceeds in disarming Christians from allowing Jesus Christ to per-meate their thoughts and actions, he has won a major victory. I have heard many Bible teachers who, under the banner of grace, oppose the idea of asking believers to adhere to the commands of Scripture. These teachers say, “...
It may surprise you to find that the apathy toward good deeds among many Christians today is not ancient—it’s recent. I found a companion in Eric Metaxas. In an article, he cited how William Wilberforce, a committed Christian, changed the world of his day—by doing good. His work affected society—socially, eco-nomically and more. His good deeds came...
