Stamped with the image of the Godhead,
Redeemed by the precious blood of the Son of God,
Predestined to an eternal life of intimate union with God
Clothed with sanctifying grace which makes man a sharer in God's nature

My Personal Testimony about Fr Jack Soulsby:
I have personally attended Fr Jack's (Life in the Spirit Seminar) on two occasions and I have experienced infilling of the Holy Spirit. He is gifted with the extra-ordinary gifts of Holy Spirit.
What does it mean to be filled with Holy Spirit ?
As per the sacred scripture, "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). It is when we are filled with the Holy Spirit that we become powerful. Then we will have the grace to give witness to Jesus and lead others to him.
God “gives the Spirit without measure” (John 3:34). He gives the Spirit in the measure a person wants.
Prophet Isaiah reminds us: “The spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. His delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear; but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth” (Is 11:2-4).
Prophet Ezekiel also reveals how we are going to be sanctified when the Holy Spirit is filled in us: “I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my spirit within you” (Eze 36:25-27)
I strongly recommend everyone to invite Fr Jack Soulsby S.M to conduct a Life in the Spirit Seminar - anywhere across the GLOBE.
