Description

This essay will explore what could be the fullness of life that is promised, according to Psalms 92:13, as “they will flourish in the courts of our Lord.” The Holy Spirit brings the presence of our Lord to the Earth, but to understand the Kingdom of God, we need a Trinitarian approach to the topic. The inspiration for the construction has taken, among others, from Amos Yong, John Zizioulas, William Atkinson and Daniela Augustine and several Church fathers. This theological construction will lead to investigate how the global body of believers could support and encourage those who have suffered the most during this pandemic, women and children in the poorest communities.

I will offer my constructive proposal to encourage especially women in the body of Christ. I utilize the biblical image of Mary, following the tradition from the East and West to present a role model for Charismatic Spirit-filled women to become active and empowered in their communities. There is also a practical example. This pragmatic approach follows the paradigm of Charismatic Christianity, which strives to increase the knowledge of Christ but even more so, to share the fullness of life in the Spirit to all humankind.
