Introduction

Allah created us so we could shine like stars in the sky and bring him glory. But we can only shine when we have the power Allah gives. We are like light bulbs. Light bulbs are made to shine, made to give light. But light bulbs cannot shine on their own. However, if we connect the light bulb to electricity, it immediately shines. We are like light bulbs. We need to be connected to the power of Allah in order to shine. In this post and the next three posts, we will explain how to be connected to the power of Allah. The power of Allah is the Spirit of Allah. In this post we will look at how the life and work of Hazrat Isa al Mashi and his disciples were empowered by the Spirit of Allah.

Conclusion

Allah made us so we could shine. The only way we can truly shine is by being connected to the power of Allah, that means, we need to be filled with the Spirit of Allah. Hazrat Isa al Masih (PBUH) is the one who lived by the power of the Spirit. Hazrat Isa al Masih was so fully anointed by the Spirit and lived in complete dependence upon the Spirit that the Spirit is also called the Spirit of Masih and Hazrat Isa is called Ruhullah. Harzat Isa al Masih is the one appointed by Allah to immerse us in the Spirit of Allah. We will see in the next post how to prepare ourselves so we can receive the Spirit of Allah and then how we are to live in constant dependence upon the power of the Spirit.
