If this season has discouraged you, drained you, then now is the time to let your faith come alive again. If the enemy has come against you, push back even harder in faith. Lay hold of God’s every promise. Take every Word He has spoken to you and commit your heart to accept it as your only reality.
Another unique quality about the Holy Spirit school is our Word and Spirit approach to learning and growing spiritually. You will see, hear, and feel the difference. The power of the Holy Spirit meets grounded, Biblical, balanced teaching in each e-course. We cover deeply spiritual topics in a practical way.
So don’t let the enemy keep you from gathering. He is a defeated foe. Don’t allow governments to keep you from gathering. Many fellow believers have given their lives in times of tyranny. Don’t allow bitterness to keep you from gathering. There is healing in connectivity. Don’t allow apathy to keep you from gathering. Keep your spiritual fire burning. Don’t allow self-reliance to keep you from gathering. We all need each other.
But when a clear line is crossed, we must be willing to respectfully resist. As much as is possible, work together with governing authorities. But if their hands become so heavy that we cannot move, if their demands become so unreasonable that we cannot practice all of God’s commands, then it is time for action. And, believer, it is time for action.
But remember, we still don’t know whether or not the pharisees had already committed it or were merely coming close to committing it. The Biblical text implies a very deep-rooted form of sin. You can’t commit this sin on accident, yet we should still tread carefully. After all, I don’t want to inspire ease where Jesus sought to inspire fear.
I’m going to give you three simple, Biblical keys to speaking in tongues, but it’s important to know that this gift is not something that can necessarily be taught. All I can do is give you the Biblical truths that will help position you to receive, but only Jesus can baptize you with the fire of the Holy Spirit accompanied by the gift of speaking in tongues.
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.
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.
As 2019 comes to a close, we celebrate the goodness of God. I want to take this opportunity to thank you, the friends and supporters of this evangelistic healing ministry for your heartfelt prayers and selfless, sacrificial giving. Together, we have spread the gospel of Jesus Christ all around the world, in the power of the Holy Spirit, through events and media.
