About The Author:
Ron Abarbanel has been a chaplain since 1992. Having grown up in a Jewish home, the concept of the Holy Spirit was elusive to him. As he came into contact with people who believed in Christ and each had different ideas about the Holy Spirit and what one must do to have the Holy Spirit in their life. Underlying confusion also existed because he doubted whether the Spirit was in him at all because he struggled to change and be a better person.
Once he believed in Christ, he started to experience what can only be described as evil visions, and they terrified him. For a long time, he thought he was possessed. But through these experiences, he started to learn more about God and the Holy Spirit and found in the Scriptures stories that affirmed his growing understanding and experience, which he elucidates in this resource.
