So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining

in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts (2 Pet 1:19)

The Power of Pentecost

THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT - THE DESPERATE NEED OF THE CHURCH TODAY

If we would see God do great things today, and if we would become mature, victorious, useful Christians, then we must see our desperate need for the power of the Holy Spirit.

· We don’t need new methods.
· We don’t need religious rock concerts.
· We don’t need new Bibles.
· We don’t need new theology.
· We don’t need more money.
· We don’t need modern buildings.
· We don’t need doctorate degrees.
· We don’t need spectacular entertainment.
· We don’t need user-friendly, compromising “preaching.”

· WE NEED THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!

This is the desperate need of the Church:

Satan is attacking the people of God with all the hordes of Hell. What hope do we have of winning this terrible battle? The way to victory is through the power of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 6:10, 11 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

What hope do we have of truly becoming more like Jesus? How can we mature and be transformed into an effective witness for Christ? The only hope is the mighty power of the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:17, 18 “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

What is the requirement to be used of God and to bring forth fruit?

John 15:4, 5 “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”

No wonder, then, that the apostles and early disciples were reminded of their need for the power of the Holy Spirit, in order that they might preach the Gospel around the world.

Luke 24:46-49 “And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations,

beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.”

Acts 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

Matthew 28:18-20 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the

Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Why all the emphasis on the power of the Holy Spirit? It’s very simple: The Spirit of God is our ONLY hope of fruitfulness and usefulness! Without Him, we are absolutely powerless and helpless.

The desperate need of the church is Spirit-filled and Spirit-empowered pastors and members who are busy doing the work of God!

· We need Spirit-empowered preachers.
· We need Spirit-empowered youth leaders.
· We need Spirit-empowered Sunday school teachers.
· We need Spirit-empowered soul winners.
· We need Spirit-empowered parents.
· We need Spirit-empowered husbands and wives.
· We need Spirit-empowered crèche workers.
· We need Spirit-empowered ushers.
· We need Spirit-empowered deacons.
· We need Spirit-empowered teenagers.
· We need Spirit-empowered adults.
· We need to be Spirit-empowered, born again believers!

The Spirit of God is our ONLY hope of fruitfulness and usefulness!

The signs of the imminent return of Christ are being fulfilled before our very eyes and it is in times like these that we need to realize our desperate need of the power of the Holy Spirit.

· Realise your desperate need of the Holy Spirit’s power?

· Realise your own weakness and insufficiency?

· Realise that without Jesus, you can do nothing?

· Are you willing to receive the power of the Holy Spirit?

“For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:” (Isaiah 44:3)

YOU SHALL RECIEVE POWER

God does what He Promises

It was the third service of five during a Holy Spirit campaign held at the FGC, Kabega Park, Port Elizabeth from 18-21 October, 2009. The last chorus was being sung and at this time I became aware of a mighty anointing of God upon me. At the same time I experienced a burning desire in my heart to move within and without the borders of South Africa, teaching on the Holy Spirit and praying for people to be baptized with Holy Spirit Power.

It was then that a prophetic word from God was delivered by a man standing in the back pew. The following words were part of the Word from God: "I will give you your hearts desire if you kneel before me ....." Immediately I obeyed and I know that God is leading me forward into a new season - a season of evangelistic teaching on the Power of the Holy Spirit.

Shortly afterwards I ministered on the subject for a few minutes and then invited those who desired the Holy Spirit baptism to step forward. After prayer, Jesus baptized many with the power of the Holy Spirit, which was confirmed by the initial evidence of speaking in tongues by all the recipients.

I would so much like you to experience the Holy Spirit power, so that together we may all be Spirit filled witnesses for the Lord Jesus Christ. As mentioned in the main body of this page - it is the desperate need of our day. Let's move forward together in these changing times.

I am more than willing to visit you at your venue to assist you in this or any other ministerial subject. Simply submit the form below and I will get back to you a.s.a.p.

May God richly bless you.
