The Holy Spirit Operates in Cycles
While the Holy Spirit is always present, there is a greater outpouring of this power associated with the appearance of a Manifestation of God. This increase of spiritual power has a beneficial and productive effect upon the minds and souls of human beings, resulting in spiritual development and intellectual progress.
The Holy Spirit brings about change in humanity and civilization in three ways:
First, through its direct impact upon those followers who are obedient to the message.
Second, through the overriding power of the Holy Spirit, which calls mankind in general to change and to act in fulfillment of the Will of God.
Third, through the indirect repercussions experienced by those—including the leaders of nations and institutions—who disregard the teachings of the Manifestation and thereby deprive themselves of divine guidance. Motivated only by self-interest and materialism, and having no counsel to turn to except their own finite and fallible minds, they make wrong decisions. In the end, they bring about their own downfall and, with it, the collapse of the institutions or countries they lead.
Upon the ruins of the old order, the seeds are sown for the rise of a new one.
