    Success of a Holy spirit is set up in our hearts and effect the World we live in .  Empowerment" is a term that has become increasingly popular in psychology, social work, and other disciplines that deal with clients or communities. According to the psychologists, "empowerment is a process by which people, organizations, and communities gain mastery over issues of concern to them" (Rappaport, 1987, as cited in Zimmerman, 1995, p. 581). "Empowering processes are those where people create or are given opportunities to control their own destiny and influence the decisions that affect their lives. They are a series of experiences in which individuals learn to see a closer correspondence between their goals and a sense of how to achieve them, gain greater access to and control over resources, and where people, organizations, and communities gain mastery over their lives" (p. 583). According to Perkins and Zimmerman (1995), empowerment "compels us to think in terms of wellness versus illness, competence versus deficits, and strength verses weaknesses. Similarly empowerment research focuses on identifying capabilities instead of cataloguing risk factors and exploring environmental influences of social problems instead of blaming victims. Empowerment-oriented interventions enhance wellness while they also aim to ameliorate problems, provide opportunities for participants to develop knowledge and skills, and engage professionals as collaborators instead of authoritative experts" (pp. 569-570). In a nutshell, empowerment is all about helping people and communities to gain the skills and resources they need to take control of their own lives and "get well" or reach their full potential.
