Finally Receiving Your Prayer Language
You were never meant to manufacture the gift of tongues—you were meant to receive it. Yield to what God has deposited in you. Read more about the gift that the Holy Spirit gives to believers in this week’s blog.
The Next-Level Christian
Don’t expect that your life will go just as you want it to go. Expect that your plans will be disrupted. Expect that you’ll find yourself in situations that require much faith. After all, if where you are doesn’t require faith, you’re not in the will of God.
A Fresh Anointing
Apathy, familiarity, monotony – these are far more detrimental to your spiritual well being than even some demonic assaults. Human nature can be so easily sidetracked. We have the tendency to veer off track. This is why it is so important to approach our walk with the Lord on a moment-by-moment basis. Whether yesterday ended in victory or defeat, we must focus on today. We must learn to walk in a fresh anointing, a fresh touch of God’s power.
Is Being Slain in the Spirit Biblical?
So we see, from scripture, that spiritual things can be transferred and given through the laying on of hands. The Spirit and His power can be transferred through human touch. And what happens when the Holy Spirit and His power are present? In some cases, people are unable to stand or otherwise react physically. We see the reactions to the Glory of God all throughout scripture. So to say that the manifestation is unbiblical, one must deny one or all of these premises. Otherwise, he cannot reject the conclusion.
How to Preach with Power: One Simple Key
If we want to see real results, we need to stay faithful to preaching what the Bible teaches. We mustn’t try to force our ideas upon the Scripture. We must humble ourselves before the Word. When we honor the Word, God will honor our preaching with His power.
What's the Difference Between the Presence of the Holy Spirit & His Power?
The power stirs you. The presence stills you. The power activates the gifts. The presence is the glory. The power inspires praise. The presence inspires worship. The key to the power of the Holy Spirit is the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Are There Different Kinds of Anointing?
Now, some believers wonder how they can acquire the "healing anointing”, the “deliverance anointing”, or the "prophetic anointing.” Some imagine that there are different kinds of anointing that require different protocols and procedures in order to collect. They may think that there’s something special one must do for the healing anointing, perhaps a special prayer to get the deliverance anointing, and so forth. But it’s actually quite simple.
Holy Spirit: Again and Again
The Holy Spirit does not abandon the true believer. But even after you receive the Holy Spirit, you can receive fresh infillings of His power, again and again. The baptism with the Holy Spirit is both a well and a river - a constant state of being and a continual flow.
The Holy Spirit is God
No believer doubts the deity of the Father. No true believer doubts the deity of the Son - otherwise, they would not be a genuine believer. If there is any doubt raised concerning divinity, that doubt seems to most often be aimed at the Holy Spirit. So I want to show you, as simply and concisely as possible, that the Bible most certainly reveals the Holy Spirit as God.
Welcome the Holy Spirit
Without the power of the Holy Spirit, churches are just clubs, preachers are just motivational speakers, ministry is just charity, and our faith is just a culture. Methods cannot replace miracles. Programs cannot replace power. Systems cannot replace the Spirit.
Who is the Holy Spirit?
What was it do you think that caused the martyrs to lay down their lives and say, “Take my blood; I want to preach the gospel - Jesus is Lord!” That’s the Holy Spirit Who sheds the love of God abroad in our hearts. The Holy Spirit is the One Who gives to us all of the promises of the Father, Who causes us to walk in the perfect will of God, not just day by day, but moment by moment.
The Fire of Evangelism
A sign that you have experienced a true encounter with the Holy Spirit is a passion to win souls. After coming into contact with the fire of God, Moses was determined to see God’s people go free. Up until that time, he had spent decades in the mundane.
YOUR MIRACLE IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
He opens springs of water in the desert, causes the Sun to stand still, sends fire from Heavenly places, and commands power over the grave. He’s the One Who spoke and brought galaxies into existence. His breath caused the waters of the Red Sea to stand like walls and the walls of Jericho to fall like water.
Don't Quench the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is a fire, and He can be quenched. Remember, in us, He only goes as far as we allow Him to go.
The Touch of Healing
There's no natural way to manufacture such power. There's no set of rules to follow, no system to apply. It's just the healing power of God. With just one touch, in a single moment of time, Jesus can make you whole. All you need is one touch.
The Power of Pentecost
While the Spirit’s power within us enables many spiritual manifestations and acts, the Spirit’s power upon us has been given primarily for the winning of the lost.
The Anointing
It is the anointing that makes the difference. Without the anointing, preaching is just motivation, churches are just gatherings, ministry is just charity, and people are powerless. If you truly want to walk in power, you need the anointing.
Holy Spirit: The Breath of Breakthrough
When the Holy Spirit begins to breathe upon your life and ministry, everything changes. What seemed before impossible, what seemed before too difficult, becomes easy. He makes a way where there seems to be no way.
Symbols of the Holy Spirit: Oil
The anointing oil was a foreshadowing of the Holy Spirit. Just as oil was poured from above and onto the head of those appointed, so the Holy Spirit is poured out from above onto the head of the Church—Jesus Christ.
Symbols of the Holy Spirit: Fire
He called this being the “Spirit.” Ezekiel’s vision may very well have been of the Holy Spirit Himself. Fire represents the Holy Spirit’s righteous nature. It speaks to His purity, judgment, and His refining presence. Thus, fire can be symbolic of the Holy Spirit.
