The Holy Spirit is not only concerned to empower us, but also advocates for us through intercessions that are consistent with Gods will (Rom. 8:26). Finally, a Christian understanding of empowerment takes on eschatological significance because the empowerment that Christians experience is a deposit (2 Cor. 5:5) that assures us of Gods intention to glorify himself through our glorification. Christian counselors can expand and enrich the services they provide to older adults by empowering them through our counseling practices and knowledge of available old_resources. As Christians have been empowered, so, too, we empower others. We are also called to attend to those persons who hold a special place in Gods heart, especially the underserved and marginalized.
