    The Power Of Pentecost

    Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 28, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 12,268 views

    Many Christians are not experiencing Pentecost for a number of reasons, but perhaps the greatest reason is because they are unaware of how rich and powerful it would make their lives.

    THE POWER OF PENTECOST Last week we looked at THE PURPOSE OF PENTECOST and we found that it is much more than exciting music and a motivational message. Pentecost will certainly: • Bring to us more of God’s power to live our daily lives, • Take us to a higher place of worship, • Cause us to ...read more

    Comfort My People

    God knows we are of little value to the Gospel of Christ when we are miserable, or down in the dumps. If we live down in the dumps, we cannot live where God wants us.

    COMFORT MY PEOPLE God knows what you went through this past week and He knows what you will face this coming week. You may have had an average week, or you may be thankful it is finally over. Regardless, you should know that God desires for His people to be happy and blessed in all things. ...read more

    To build a relationship with God, we must hear His voice. He is speaking to us but are we really listening?

    Travelers In The Fog

    Contributed by James May on Apr 20, 2001
    based on 61 ratings
     | 8,023 views

    When we walk in our own understanding, without the leading of the Spirit, we are walking in a fog. We must allow the Day Star to arise within our hearts.

    Travelers in the Fog A few days ago, I drove out of my driveway headed to work. It was about 6 AM and those of you who are up and about at that time of the morning will know that it is still dark outside. I immediately noticed that not only was it still dark but that there was also a thick fog. ...read more

    The Gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of Speaking in Other Tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance is not an option. It is commanded by Jesus for all believers to seek after this gift.

    THE MOST POWERFUL GIFT Acts 1:4-8 “And being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith He, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not ...read more

    It is impossible for Satan to contend with any success, against Heaven and it’s host. He knows that, and don’t you know that Hell must have trembled when God’s people were indwelled by, were filled with, the Holy Ghost of God.
