What does the Greek term Pneuma Hagion mean in English?

The Greek term Pneuma Hagion is rendered in English as "that power from on high." It denotes the Holy Spirit's empowering presence, which works in consort with the believer's spirit, enabling victory over the flesh and providing the necessary strength for spiritual warfare.

Les explains that in the Greek the term is Pneuma Hagion, and in English it means "that power from on high." He teaches that the Holy Spirit came in and empowered the believer's spirit—body, soul, and spirit—so that the Holy Spirit working in consort with our spirit enables us to live victoriously. Old Adam is crucified and dead in God's eyes, yet in our experience he is still here but defeated. The warfare exists because of the indwelling Holy Spirit; without Him, we would not stand a chance against the forces of old Adam and Satan. Les says this is the secret.
