Would you like to understand and experience the Holy Spirit better? Rev. John Arnold has created a simple nine-day prayer called, “A Dose of the Ghost” to help you do just that.
What is A Dose of the Ghost?
It’s a novena which is a nine-day prayer commitment focused upon a specific intention. The most common novena is a novena to the Holy Spirit between Ascension of the Lord Thursday and Pentecost Sunday. A novena though may be said at any time of year and there is no limit to the focus of a novena.
Typically, a novena is a catholic tradion. “Protestant novena” may be an oxymoron, because as far as Rev. Arnold knows a novena is a totally catholic thing. Nevertheless, he has created a protestant novena which contains a scripture lesson, meditation, and prayer to be reflected on for nine consecutive days.
In this video, Rev. John Arnold, pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Walnut Springs, Arkansas, gives an overview what Pentecost is, why it’s important, and an introduction to his Holy Spirit focused devotional guide, A Dose of the Ghost.
