BEING
EXTRAORDINARY
Being extraordinary is
experienced when we love
God more than life itself.
And you shall love
the Lord your God out of
and with your whole heart
and out of and with
all your soul (your life)
and out of and with all
your mind (with your
faculty of thought and
your
moral understanding) and
out of and with all your
strength.
This is the first and
principal commandment.
Who is God? He is
the Blessed
Trinity...Father, Son
and Holy Spirit.
What
is the benefit of
believing God and loving
Him?
Answer: He
makes provision for
you to be clothed
with Truth, Life and
the Holy Spirit in
an extraordinary and
superabundant way.
Thank
God for the command
of the Lord as
revealed in Mark
12:30
above.
God is a foundation
builder!
The scriptures
reveal a
comprehensive
awesome God who is
without limit!
His love is
fathomless!
14 For this
reason I bow my knees to
the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ,
15 from whom the
whole family in heaven and
earth is named,
16 that He would
grant you, according to
the riches of His glory,
to be strengthened with
might through His Spirit
in the inner man,
17 that Christ may
dwell in your hearts
through faith; that you,
being rooted and grounded
in love,
18 may be able to
comprehend with all the
saints what is the width
and length and depth and
height
19 to know the love
of Christ which passes
knowledge;
that you may be filled
with all the fullness of
God.
God
is a Good God!
He always wants to do
special extraordinary
things in your life!
Jesus
gave leaders to equip the
saints in spiritual
knowledge and understanding
to build them
into the fullness of Christ.
...the
measure of the stature of
the fullness of the Christ
and the completeness found
in Him.
Church Leaders have the
responsibility to lead the
army of God.
Each believer has a divine
destiny in the kingdom work
on earth.
The City
of Lights ministry is
endowed with God's plan for
those who are inspired to
give of time,
energy
and action to be built
extraordinarily on His
divine foundation...
the
GOOD NEWS that Jesus
Christ is God's Son
and
the LIGHT to the
world.
We
must know the substances and
the principles of Light in
order to walk fully in God.
Humbly
and to this knowledge, we
dedicate this Issue of the
Prophetic Voice Newsletter
to God
and
to you...
Your Future is decided by whose voice you choose to
believe.
You are
going to make
decisions about this
Letter.
What kind of decisions will you make?
●
Will you seek God for
His abundant
provisions?
●
Will you put limitations
within your spiritual growth
believing that God
has given less than the
Scriptures generously declare?
●
Will
you be different?
To be extraordinary demands
that you are different.
●
Will you conform to the
principles of God or to the
dictates of men?
●
Will you be motivated to walk
in the Light of Truth, Life
& the Spirit?
●
Will you respond to the call
of God and exercise your will
to walk
in the deeper realms of the
Kingdom of Heaven?
Your
decisions to these questions
will be demonstrated in the
manner that
Smith
Wigglesworth liked to
teach...
"The
ACT produces the FACT."
This
Letter is an indepth
study that can immensely
impact your life!
● You will elect to be
different.
● You will elect to
be extraordinary.
● You will elect to
trust God and obey His
commands.
● You will elect
to trust God and
experience the
extraordinary
supernatural blessed life
in Pentecost.
OR
●
You will elect to choose
another way of thought and
action.
God
will not impose His
will upon anyone.
He made each
of His created beings
as free will agents.
God is looking for
humble hearts and
spirits who are hungry
and thirsty for
His Light of Truth,
Life and Spirit.
Won't
you join us now in
this Prophetic Letter,
as we reach deep into
a study
of revelations of God
and the provisions He
has made for us to be
Extraordinary Beings?
In the 14th
Chapter and 12th verse
of John, Jesus said to
His disciples,
"Greater
Works than these
[you] will do..."
What
was His perspective
on these Words?
Jesus knew that He
had chosen the right
disciples to accomplish
these Greater
Works.
We know this to be
true due to the fact
that Jesus had the
assurance of His
Father.
Also, Jesus had already
established the
foundational principles
of the command of
Faith!
He
believed all His
Father showed Him.
In
all these things, He
demonstrated the pattern
of the Kingdom in which
His church would
function.
(Do you
believe the Scriptures
are for you to
exercise, today?)
With such full
demonstrations and
confirmations of the
works that the
Father, the Son and
the
Holy
Spirit have provided
for mankind through
both Testaments in
the Holy Bible, why
is it that
the church continues
to be fragmented
into an estimated
38,000+
denominations as
well as
other auxiliary
organizations that
clearly do not
accept and believe
the full Gospel is
for
mankind, today?
Jesus was sent to
reveal Father God
and teach His
Kingdom had come to
earth to open the
way for
reconciliation of
mankind back to a
personal
relationship with
God,
the Blessed Trinity.
19
I
assure you, most
solemnly I tell you,
the Son is able to do
nothing of Himself
(of His own accord);
but He is able
to do only what He
sees the Father doing,
for whatever
the Father does is
what the Son does in
the same way [in His
turn].
20
The Father dearly
loves the Son and
discloses to (shows)
Him everything that He
Himself does.
And He will disclose
to Him (let Him see)
greater things yet
than these, so that
you may
marvel and be full of
wonder and
astonishment.
21
Just as the Father
raises up the dead and
gives them life [makes
them live on], even so
the
Son also gives life to
whomever He wills and
is pleased to give it.
Father God executes
every promise and every
prophetic word through
the Holy Spirit.
After
Jesus was resurrected,
He presented Himself to
the disciples and worked
with them during
the
days before being
received up into heaven
in "the Ascension."
In
one of His appearances
with the disciples, He
releases the Command of
Faith upon them.
Let's
look at the recording of
this event:
Mark 16:14-20 (NKJV)
14 Later He appeared
to the eleven as they sat
at the table; and He
rebuked their unbelief
and hardness of heart,
because they did not
believe those who had seen
Him after He had risen.
15 And He said to
them, "Go into all the
world and preach the
gospel to every creature.
16
He who believes and is
baptized will be saved;
but he who does not
believe will be condemned.
17 And
these signs will follow
those who believe:
In My name they will cast
out demons;
they
will speak with new
tongues;
18 they will take up
serpents; and if they
drink anything deadly,
it will by no means
hurt them; they will lay
hands on the sick, and
they will recover.
Christ
Ascends to God's Right Hand as
His apostolic mission on earth
is completed
to rule on David's
promised Throne Eternally.
19 So then, after
the Lord had spoken to
them, He was received up
into heaven,
and sat down at the right
hand of God.
20 And they
went out and preached
everywhere, the Lord
working with them and
confirming the word
through the accompanying
signs. Amen.
The Father crowned Him with
glory as King of all things
and the promised Holy Spirit
was poured
out on
the 120 waiting in the upper
room. The
"crowning ceremony" in
Heaven by the Father
upon the
Son was the fulfilling of
God's promise of the Holy
Spirit (Holy Ghost).
Jesus had
promised the disciples of
the fulfillment of sending
the Comforter, the Spirit of
Truth.
He was sent and was
poured out in might and
fire on
The
Day of Pentecost was the
most extraordinary event
that the early believers
had
experienced without the
earthly presence of Jesus
in their midst.
The status of
being extraordinary
manifests when we obey the
commands of God!
What did Jesus command
and confirm in Mark
16:14-20 ?
►
you will cast
out demons
► you will
speak with new
tongues
►
you will take up
serpents
►
if you drink
anything deadly it
will have no
adverse effect
►
you will lay hands
on the sick---
they will recover
How
can these
things be
true?
The
Lord works
with us
through the
authority of
His Name and
authority
of the power
manifested in
the Holy Ghost
and fire.
To preach the
Gospel to the
entire world
and to
exercise God's
commands
of the Law of
the Spirit are
the greater
works of which
Jesus
said we would
do.
They are
spiritual
works!
They all
operate in
Faith
We need to
have the God
of Truth, the
Spirit of
Truth, to
teach us these
things of
divine
origin.
They operate
in the Spirit
realm!
Jesus rebuked
His disciples
for their
unbelief that
He was
resurrected.
To learn of
the Spirit
realm of
greater Works
requires
FAITH.
"And
these signs
will follow
those who
BELIEVE!"
Faith operates
through
action.
"Now faith is
the substance
of things
hoped for, the
evidence of
things not
seen." (Heb 11:1)
To hope for
something is
an action that
leads to
motivation to
deeply believe
and desire
that
you have
it.
Substance is
the manifested
result of that
hope.
Jesus
manifested the
will of the
Father in all
things through
faith.
He came to
earth to
reveal the
faith of the
Father in His
sovereign plan
for
man.
Jesus came to
establish God
living in our
midst as man
and God.
The man part
was His body,
soul and
spirit.
The God part
was the
anointing
presence of
God the Holy
Spirit abiding
in and upon
the Son of God
without
limitation of
measure.
It is God's
desire that
you have
knowledge and
understanding
of the divine
things of the
Kingdom of
Heaven.
Father God
wants you to
have complete
understanding
of Him as
one God in
three
persons.
(see
webpage
"Blessed
Trinity" in Inner Chambers)
God
wants you to
"wake
up"---become
spiritually
informed--- to
the Words of
the
Master.
Jesus said, He
would not
desert you,
but would come
to you by
sending the
Spirit of
Truth.
He said, "Greater
Works"
than
these [you]
will do,
because He was
going to the
Father.
(John 14:12)
The measure of the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit,
that anointed
Jesus and that
is promised to
anoint you is
spiritually
understood.
John 16:13-15 AMP
13 But
when He, the
Spirit of
Truth (the
Truth-giving
Spirit) comes,
He will guide
you into all
the
Truth (the
whole, full
Truth). For He
will not speak
His own
message [on
His own
authority];
but He will
tell whatever
He hears [from
the Father; He
will give the
message that
has been
given to Him],
and He will
announce and
declare to you
the things
that are to
come
[that will
happen in the
future].
14 He
will honor and
glorify Me,
because He
will take of
(receive, draw
upon) what is
Mine
and will
reveal
(declare,
disclose,
transmit) it
to you.
15
Everything
that the
Father has is
Mine. That is
what I meant
when I said
that He [the
Spirit]
will take the
things that
are Mine and
will reveal
(declare,
disclose,
transmit) it
to you.
The measure of the Holy Ghost you receive is
inspiration,
enlightenment,
illumination,
revelation,
edification,
manifestation,
and operation.
God the Holy
Spirit, will
tell you
whatever He
hears from
Heaven's
throne
room.
When you come
into fullness
of the Holy
Spirit, you
are in perfect
order, built
up on
spiritual
foundations of
divine Truth.
What all of us
need to desire
is more of the
Holy Spirit
filling us,
working in us,
working
through us and
flowing out of
us!
John the
Baptist
declares
33
Whoever
receives His
(John the
baptizer's)
testimony has
set his seal
of approval to
this:
God is true.
[That man has
definitely
certified,
acknowledged,
declared once
and for all,
and is himself
assured that
it is divine
truth that God
cannot lie].
34 For
since He Whom
God has sent
speaks the
words of God
[proclaims
God's own
message],
God does not
give Him His
Spirit
sparingly or
by measure,
but
boundless
is the gift
God makes of
His Spirit!
Here is a scriptural witness of agreement:
...how
much more will
your heavenly
Father give
the Holy
Spirit to
those who ask
and
continue to
ask Him!
Jesus full of the Holy Ghost declares in a Word of
Wisdom the
prophetic
decree:
John 7:38-40 (AMP)
38 He
who believes
in Me [who
cleaves to and
trusts in and
relies on Me]
as the
Scripture has
said,
From his
innermost
being shall
flow
[continuously]
springs and
rivers of
living water.
39 But
He was
speaking here
of the Spirit,
Whom those who
believed
(trusted, had
faith)
in Him were
afterward to
receive. For
the [Holy]
Spirit had not
yet been
given, because
Jesus was not
yet glorified
(raised to
honor).
40
Listening to
those words,
some of the
multitude
said,
This is
certainly and
beyond doubt
the Prophet!
Jesus was prophesying the coming event of the Day of
Pentecost.
The heavens
would open by
mighty wind
(dunamis power
likened to a
dynamite
explosion)
in the most
awesome
extraordinary
outpouring of
the Holy Ghost
as tongues of
fire and
empower the
BELIEVERS to
speak and
demonstrate
the Good News
of Mark
16:14-20
Believers
exercise
divine Faith.
21
And Jesus
answered them,
Truly I say to
you, if you
have faith
(a firm
relying trust)
and do not
doubt, ...
22 And
whatever you
ask for in
prayer, having
faith and
[really]
believing, you
will receive.
Baptism
of the Holy
Ghost empowers
you to walk in
the gifts of
the Spirit;
to walk in
divine faith
and experience
Kingdom works!
With
spiritual
knowledge and
understanding,
you are built
upon the
foundational
principles of
the prophets
and the
apostles with
Jesus as the
anchoring
cornerstone.
Foundational
knowledge and
understanding
of the kingdom
is opened to
those who are
teachable.
Prophesying is
one of the
spiritual
gifts to be
greatly
desired.
To prophesy
spiritually
builds up the
church.
Speaking in
unknown
tongues is
also an
important
spiritual
gift.
You build your
spirit in
speaking to
God in unknown
tongues.
Each have
important
roles in their
spiritual
development.
John the
Baptist was a
prophet,
also.
John
proclaimed and
declared the
extraordinary
things of God
by the Spirit
as given
utterance:
He
Who is coming
after me is
mightier than
I...
...He will
baptize you
with the Holy
Spirit and
with fire.
These are words of edification for God's born again
believers!
God wants you
to be on fire
so that you
will speak as
an oracle of
God!
He has placed
every
"building
block" you
need in its
proper place
for your
spiritual
growth.
He has
provided
foundations of
Truth, Life
and Spirit
that everyone
who sees and
hears you
will know they
too, can
experience the
Light of the
Kingdom Life
after the
order of the
Spirit!
We live in
days when Pentecost is very
important!
In
this day and hour, it is
important like the feast of
Passover!
● Passover
is God's "appointed
time" to deliver His
people .
All
sinners need the Savior,
Jesus Christ who is the
Passover Lamb.
He is
mankind's deliverer from sin
and from the life of
darkness and evil.
All
need to come to repentance
and experience the new birth
of the Spirit!
●
Pentecost is the "appointed time"
when the heavens are open.
In October 2007, the
Holy Ghost spoke to me suddenly
in an
unusual moment.
I was caught in
stride as I entered our kitchen
and glanced out the kitchen
window.
Emphatically and with
great exclamation,
He said,
"The heavens are open!"
This experience
has been documented and shared
with many others as prophetic
words of
knowledge prepared the church for
the year of 2008, "new
beginnings."
It has been
a year of extraordinary changes!
The first
time in the New Testament that we
see a word that means the
"heavens are open"
is in the
account of Mark
1:10 at the baptism of
Jesus.
It is the
Greek word schizo
that means "open or
fold, tear violently or to rend."
In Mark 1:10, the
heavens are "torn open"and
the Spirit descends as a
dove.
In
interpreting the Word of God, a
rule of first mention sets a rule
for interpreting
the same word in
other passages.
Let us go back in
time to study the events that mark
the Day of Pentecost
so that we
can deeply appreciate what God has
done for us, His people.
When
the children of Israel were
rescued out of Egypt in the Exodus,
they were eventually
brought to the base of Mount
Sinai.
Recall that
they all came out of Egypt healed
and possessed the wealth of
Egypt's silver and
gold. We know by the
Scriptures that God had a plan for
the
isolation of His
people to a desert location.
They would
learn of God and begin to be
molded into God's spiritual and
natural
family on earth. It
would be a time of preparation for
the eventual plan of salvation
to replace the Law of
Sin and Death through the Law of
the Spirit of grace by
faith.
The order of
worship of the wilderness
tabernacle would pattern the
cross,
the coming and the
initial advent of God's Son to
redeem all mankind.
God brought
His people into the desert.
This
environment required supernatural
and extraordinary provisions to
sustain three million
souls.
The desert
experience opens us to a study of
Moses before
the Exodus
and to Jesus Christ in the 40 day
wilderness experience.
Symbolically, we too, start life
in a spiritual desert experience
at birth.
There are
awesome spiritual principles to
understand in each of these
recordings.
We will
study them in future Letters.
The main
point to be made here is that God
always has a plan and a purpose
for the actions He
takes and the revelations He
shares!
Here is the
very first account of God opening
the heavens to
reveal Himself to
His divine nation in
the Old Testament...
Exodus 19:16-23 (AMP)
16
The third morning there were
thunders and lightnings, and a
thick cloud
upon the mountain, and a very
loud trumpet blast, so that all
the people
in the camp trembled.
17
Then Moses brought the people
from the camp to meet God, and
they
stood at the foot of the
mountain.
18
Mount Sinai was wrapped in
smoke, for the Lord descended
upon it in fire;
its smoke ascended like that of
a furnace, and the whole
mountain quaked
greatly.
19
As the trumpet blast grew louder
and louder, Moses spoke and God
answered him with a voice. [Deut
4:12.]
20
The Lord came down upon Mount
Sinai to the top of the
mountain, and the
Lord called Moses to the top of
the mountain, and Moses
went up.
21
The Lord said to Moses, Go down
and warn the people, lest they
break
through to the Lord to gaze and
many of them perish.
22
And also let the priests, who
come near to the Lord, sanctify
(set apart)
themselves [for God], lest the
Lord break forth against them.
23
And Moses said to the Lord, The
people cannot come up to Mount
Sinai,
for You Yourself charged us,
saying, Set bounds about the
mountain and
sanctify it [set it apart for
God].
What an
awesome and extraordinary account
of God opening the heavens
and manifesting
himself on the mountain!
The heavens
were torn with smoke, and fire
like a gigantic furnace!
Can you
imagine such a sight?
The whole
mountain was shaken.
The description is
like the eruption of a
volcano!
You know
that people had a challenge
standing on their feet.
The Holy
Ghost causes the same effects when
He falls on a gathering of people!
I was in Cuba
in 1995 as a missionary and on the
day before Easter, in that
communistic country
which persecutes God's people, the
Holy Ghost came into
a gathering of some
300 people as a mighty wind. The
heavens were "torn open"
and everyone fell off
their feet like domino's stacked
in rows. Flesh was
sprawling on the
floor everywhere. It was the
most humbling experience I ever
had.
It was
awesome! It was a day of Pentecost
experience on the Eve of the
resurrection
celebration!
The record of the mission is
not anything like you
could imagine. It
is written under the anointing
and inspiration of the Holy
Spirit
and addresses
spiritual insights that only
God can administer through an
individual.
When God opens
the heavens everything
in the physical environment,
emotional environment
and spiritual environment shakes!
God is a mighty God
and there is nothing less than
extraordinary
in all that He does.
This means that when He touches
anything or anyone,
there is not going to
be a situation whereby the thing
or event
does not remain
unchanged!
God's presence
changes everything!
When the Holy Ghost
manifests, flesh and blood are not
going to be unscathed!
There
will be an extraordinary
event!
Many try to limit the
manifestations or control His
works through
the belief that
"if it is not written in
specific details in the Bible,
then it cannot be
of God." Who is to judge
God and the intent of His
acts?
You
should read the whole
chapter of Job 38.
Job
38:2-10
2 Who
is this that darkens counsel
by words without knowledge?
3 Gird up
now your loins like a man,
and I will demand of you,
and you declare to Me.
4 Where
were you when I laid the
foundation of the earth?
Declare to Me, if you have
and know understanding.
5 Who
determined the measures of
the earth, if you know?
Or who stretched the
measuring line upon it?
6 Upon
what were the foundations of
it fastened, or who laid its
cornerstone,
7 When
the morning stars sang
together and all the sons of
God shouted for joy?
8 Or who
shut up the sea with doors
when it broke forth and
issued out of the
womb?--
9 When I
made the clouds the garment
of it, and thick darkness a
swaddling band
for it,
10 And marked
for it My appointed boundary
and set bars and doors,
Many do not
believe what God declares and
demonstrate in His Holy
Word.
They rationalize
the events as being given only
for a specific event or time
and
do not grasp the
reality of God's Acts being
possible for today.
Some believe in
the power and endowment of the
Holy Ghost manifesting in
"unknown
tongues." Then, there
are those who will exercise
faith for healing and
those who have
also been delivered from
carnal oppressions and
addictions.
These same
individuals when hearing
others baptized in the Holy
Ghost and fire
with evidence of
speaking in tongues denounce
the evidence as an act of the
devil and deny
God's sovereign act of the
gift and the baptism.
Are we going to
believe opinions or
believe God?
1 Corinthians 14:2
(AMP)
For
one who speaks in an
[unknown] tongue speaks not
to men but to God,..
because in the
[Holy] Spirit he utters
secret truths and hidden
things
[not obvious to
the understanding].
4
He who speaks in a
[strange] tongue edifies
and improves himself...
God
wants you to enter into
the promises of
God! It is your
inheritance as a
part of
your gift of
salvation. We are
not to glory in the gift
of the baptism in the
Holy Ghost,
but glorify the Giver,
whom the Holy Spirit has
come to reveal to us,
the Lord
Jesus Christ. It seems
that the Gospel is
robbed of its divine
glory
when the
marvelous truth of the
baptism of the Holy
Spirit is overlooked.
45
And those of the
circumcision who believed
were astonished,
as many as came with
Peter, because the gift of
the Holy Spirit
had been poured out
on the Gentiles also.
46 For
they heard them speak with
tongues and magnify God.
To be
saved is awesomely
wonderful; to be a new
creation
{2Cor.
5:17}, to have
"passed from
death to life" {1 John
7:38},
to have the
witness of the Spirit
that you are born of God
{Rom.
8:16}
this is
unspeakably
precious!
But, Jesus gave us the
well of salvation
bubbling up
inside of us. We
need to experience the
extraordinary
flow of "rivers of
living water" {John
7:38}.
John 7:38-39 (AMP)
38
He who believes in Me [who
cleaves to and trusts in
and relies on Me]
as the Scripture has said,
From his innermost being
shall flow [continuously]
springs and rivers of
living water.
39 But
He was speaking here of
the Spirit, Whom those who
believed
(trusted, had faith) in
Him were afterward to
receive. For the [Holy]
Spirit had
not yet been given,
because Jesus was not yet
glorified (raised to
honor).
The Day
of Pentecost had not yet
come. It would be
10 days until the
outpouring
of the
manifested Holy
Spirit! The Lord
wants us to be filled
with the Spirit, to have
the
manifestation of the
presence of His Spirit,
the manifestation that
is indeed
given "for the
profit of all" {1 Cor.
12:7}.
The Lord wants us to be
mouthpieces
and to
speak as the very
"oracles of God" {1 Pet.
4:11}.
His anointing Presence
compels you
to speak of the Good
News!
The Gospel
is very clear on this
extraordinary spiritual
inheritance that God has
promised
and continues to pour
out on those who desire
to believe Him. There
are many
scriptural witnesses in
the Word of God to
reveal this endowment of
spiritual
power for our lives. We
know from the account of
what took place at
Cornelius's
household that when the
Holy Spirit fell, "they heard
them speak
with
tongues and magnify
God" {Acts
10:46}.
Many think that God
makes a
distinction
between those living in
the 21st century and
those who lived in the
1st century
church. But there
is no scripture for
this! When anyone
receives the
gift of the
Holy Spirit, their Day
of Pentecost, the Lord
has fulfilled His
promise of
what John
the Baptist declared:
Matthew
3:11 (AMP)
I indeed
baptize you in (with)
water because of
repentance [that is,
because of
your changing
your minds for the better,
heartily amending your
ways, with
abhorrence of
your past sins]. But He
Who is coming after me is
mightier than I,
Whose sandals
I am not worthy or fit to
take off or carry; He will
baptize you with
the Holy
Spirit and with fire.
Have
you had your Day of
Pentecost?
He has
promised it.
God is
willing and able to
baptize you, infilling
you with the power and
fire of the
Holy Ghost,
to fulfill His promises
to you as a child who is
in right standing with
Him
and is
legally qualified to all
spiritual inheritances!
He is not a man that He
should lie.
Hebrews 6:17-18 (NKJV)
17 Thus God,
determining to show more
abundantly to the heirs of
promise the
immutability of His
counsel, confirmed it by
an oath,
18 that
by two immutable things,
in which it is impossible
for God to lie, we
might have strong
consolation, who have fled
for refuge to lay hold of
the
hope set before us.
Inheritances are
redeemable upon the
death of someone.
Jesus paid
the price for all your
inheritances and they
are available to those
who believe
they are real and desire
to receive them!
When
the Holy Ghost fills the
atmosphere with His
localized presence, flesh
will have a
response beyond the
thoughts and control of
men.
The baptism
is real!... so are the
myriads of other
manifestations!
God is a God
of Faith!
He
dwells in the unseen and manifests
those things hoped for into the
world of the
seen through faith!
He has His own agenda and He
honors an humble spirit,
a contrite heart and
acts of faith exercised in His
order and by His Spirit.
The people at Mount
Sinai thought they wanted to see
God.
God is not in the
gazing business. He is into
the faith and action.
Read the account of
Moses Exodus
33:18-23 and His request
to meet with God to
see His
glory.
Exodus
33:18-20 (AMP)
18 And
Moses said, I beseech You, show
me Your glory.
19 And God
said, I will make all My
goodness pass before you,
and I will proclaim My name, THE
LORD, before you; for I will be
gracious to
whom I will be gracious, and
will show mercy and
loving-kindness on whom
I will show mercy and
loving-kindness. [Rom 9:15,16.]
20 But, He
said, You can not see My face,
for no man shall see Me and
live.
The only way to know
God the Blessed Trinity is through
relationship. Not
everyone wants a
personal relationship with Jesus
Christ, the Lord of the
manifested Word of
God. Strangely, most of the church
does not want the
endued power and fire
of the Holy Spirit...
Without relationship
there is no power or fire.
It is Jesus, Who
baptizes with the Holy Ghost and
fire!
There are 39 books of
the Old Testament that reveal
great detail that we
might know God by
truth, life and spirit.
Can you
imagine a God of Fire?
Can you imagine a God without
fire?
Our God is a consuming fire!
We
have entered the days of
consuming fire of the Holy
Spirit!
However,
most of God's 21st century church
are like the people who came out
of
Egypt with the
deliverer, Moses. Look at how they
are recorded...
the people stood afar
off,
Exodus
20:18-22 (AMP)
18 Now all the
people perceived the thunderings
and the lightnings and the noise
of the trumpet and the smoking
mountain, and as [they] looked
they trembled
with fear and fell back and
stood afar off.
19 And they said to
Moses, You speak to us and we
will listen, but let not God
speak to us, lest we die.
20 And Moses said
to the people, Fear not; for God
has come to prove you, so
that the [reverential] fear of
Him may be before you, that you
may not sin.
21 And the people
stood afar off, but Moses drew
near to the thick darkness
where God was.
22 And the
Lord said to Moses, Thus shall
you say to the Israelites, You
have
seen for yourselves that I
have talked with you from
heaven.
When the
heavens are open, God's
purpose is to talk with us!
He wants to prove
us that we may not sin.
He is an
extraordinary Person when
manifesting as the Holy Spirit
of Whom
demonstrates Himself in
7-fold spiritual ways.
The study of
the 7-fold spirits of the
Holy Spirit is recorded in
the
Prophetic Voice
Newsletter Issue-4, look for
subheading: Spirit... the 3rd
dimension
(see
webpage "Spirit...the 3rd
dimension" in Inner
Chambers)
God wants to
talk with us and He does so
as one God in three Persons!
There are those
who want to take issue with
God's Word and declare that
there
is only one
person manifested as the one
God and that is Jesus Christ
alone.
Blessed Trinity
(see webpage "Blessed Trinity" in Inner Chambers)
The study will bless you and give
you knowledge which will
wonderfully build
your understanding of
the Godhead. The knowledge will
motivate you to new
thoughts to be
transformed into the work of the
Kingdom of Heaven.
Please continue to go
deeper with me.
God wants to say some
more things to us in this Letter
that is deeply relevant
to our maturing in
Christ. God's
work is "speak!"
The heavens are open!
Again,
let us examine the attitude and
the spiritual posturing of the
people
God had delivered.
God had saved His children from
the evil empire of Pharaoh's
Egypt. These people
were slaves to hardened
taskmasters.
They were in bondage
to ways of darkness and an evil
world for nearly 400 years.
Remember that God had
changed Jacob's name to Israel.
The nation of God was
routed to Egypt through the
persecution of Joseph due to
his brothers'
jealousies of Joseph's prophetic
dreams and the favor he had with
his father, Jacob.
His brothers put him in a dry well
and left him to die.
A caravan of traders
found him. Joseph was sold into
slavery to an Egyptian,
an officer of
Pharaoh, the captain and chief
executioner of the [royal] guard.
Potipher's wife
falsely accused Joseph of having
intent to have sex with her
and he was sentenced
to prison.
Most
of you know the recorded account
of Joseph's life.
Joseph interpreted
two prophetic dreams for Pharaoh.
Pharaoh's response
was:
Genesis 41:38-39 (AMP)
38
And Pharaoh said to his
servants, Can we find this man's
equal,
a man in whom is the spirit of
God?
39 And Pharaoh said
to Joseph, Forasmuch as [your]
God has shown you all this,
there is nobody as intelligent
and discreet and understanding
and wise as you are.
Genesis 41:46 (AMP)
Joseph [who
had been in Egypt thirteen
years] was thirty years old
when he
stood before
Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph
went out from the presence of
Pharaoh
and went [about
his duties] through all the
land of Egypt.
Joseph
had the Spirit of God abiding
with him.
The
empowerment of the Holy Spirit
makes an individual different!
He
makes us extraordinary!
To be different is not a popular
attribute. But, it is the
way of God.
To walk in
righteousness, peace and joy in
the Holy Ghost is walking a
different
walk and talking a
different talk than what the
people of the world do.
Walking in the Spirit
is a personal life style choice.
One must make a
decision and build relationship
with God to be
supernaturally
extraordinary! There are
biographies of people who did
extraordinary things
all through history. However, we
are focused on
being extraordinary
in the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
You are encouraged to
read the full account of how the
nation of Israel was
prepared to move to
Egypt in Genesis
37 thru 46.
Gen 46:26-27 (AMP)
26 All the
persons who came with Jacob into
Egypt--who were his own
offspring,
not counting the wives of
Jacob's sons--were sixty-six
persons all told.
27 And the
sons of Joseph, who were born
to him in Egypt, were two
persons.
All the persons of the house
of Jacob [including Joseph and
Jacob himself],
who came into Egypt, were
seventy.
(Note: 7, 70, 700, or 7000
represent God's perfect order
in the topic of record.)
They had the
favor of God for the complete 430
years in Egypt.
When Joseph and
the then reigning Pharaoh died,
new leadership came and with
it came jealousy and
greed resulting in persecution and
bondage.
The church is
in a very delicate position in
these days of rapid change.
The elevation of
leaders who do not walk in
righteousness and truth can
bring
Christ's church
into great persecution and
bondage.
Apathy for the
ways and provisions of God
will accelerate the
tribulation and
hardship process.
It is time for God's people to
be quicken (made alive) by the
Spirit and
receive the full provisions of
God's Word, His presence and
plan.
The
Scriptures record that God heard
the nation of Israel's cries and
made a way
for their salvation,
their rescue! Now, in our study,
we hear their voices which
expresses their
hearts. They had been
invited to meet God. Even with all
the
provisions they
possessed including God's
providential detailed care, they
moved away from the
very One who loved them and cared
about all their
needs.
They wanted
the blessings, but did not want to
tend to the guiding principles
that would keep them
healthy and make them into an
extraordinary nation.
They did not
want a close relationship with
God.
They did not
want His desires and commands of
Light for their daily lives.
Read the
study of Ministers on Fire
for an overview of God's Laws of
Light.
(see webpage
"Ministers on Fire" in Inner Chambers)
The Bible
proves out their attitudes toward
God in that they are recorded as
rebellious,
hard-hearted and stiff-necked
people. They were willing
to let God
deliver them from
Egypt but they were not willing to
let God deliver Egypt out
of their hearts and
life styles.
We can see
these same attitudes and spiritual
posturing brought into the church
today regardless of
the things God has done for His
people. Just as ancient
Israel
had grown legalistic
over many generations, and
disregarded the Law of Sin and
Death given to Moses,
the church of this century has
grown legalistic and
traditional in its
doctrines and practices and aligns
with the ways of the world
instead of moving
into relationship with God, the
Holy Spirit. In fact, most
of the
church ridicules the
working of the Holy Ghost.
To understand
and experience "open heavens,"
We
need to understand
Pentecost.
We
need to have an open mind, heart
and spirit to the things that God
desires to accomplish
with the church and with each of
our lives.
When most Christians
think about Pentecost, they think
about the
outpouring of Acts
chapter two. This brings us
to an example of another
extraordinary way in
which God showed Himself to His
people.
Consider what
the traditional applications of
those coming to Jerusalem
experienced.
For our deeper understanding of
the times and Jewish events
that were in play at
the Day of Pentecost...
Pentecost
did
not
begin
in
Acts
chapter
two.
Pentecost
was
a
Biblical
event,
a Feast instituted by
God in the Old Testament.
The
"Feast of Pentecost" is
described in Leviticus
23:15-16,
Numbers
28:26-31, and Deuteronomy
16:9-12.
Let us get a hold
of the following so we can
better understand Acts 2
and the
spiritual season we are
experiencing today! The Israelites
were told, "From the
Feast of Passover"
count off seven weeks (forty-nine
days) then on the fiftieth day
have a festival
before the Lord." The world
is not the only people who are to
have parties! The
objectivity of the celebration is
the principle difference which
is best expressed as
celebrations of darkness compared
to celebrations of light.
God is all about
purposes. In the Hebrew the Feast
of Pentecost is called Shavot,
which means "feast of
weeks." In the New Testament
Greek, fifty days is
called Pentecost. It
was 50 days from the time of the
Passover Feast precluding
the crucifixion of
the Lord to the outpouring of the
Holy Ghost in celebration of
Heaven's newly
crowned King!
We
do not have to wait to have a
Day of Pentecost!
The hard working
farmers of ancient Israel worked
week after week to prepare
their soil and to
plant seeds in hope of a harvest.
They had hope, but had no
way to make the earth
produce. If the Lord did not open
the heavens for a
physical rain, they
would not have a harvest of crops.
As they trusted him,
God would open up the
windows of heaven and rain would
pour forth.
With their faith
fixed on God, a harvest would be
brought forth. We can see that
they recognized the
physical provision of God's grace.
We find that on each Sabbath,
the father of the
house would lift a freshly baked
loaf of bread before the Lord and
bless God with
thanksgiving for His bountiful
provisions.
The Holy Bible is our
"loaf of bread"... Jesus is the
Bread of Life!
If God does not pour
out His Spirit upon people,
then there is no "rain"
to produce a
harvest. The "rain of the
spirit" brings increase in
touching the
hearts and minds of
people.
Also, from the first
sheaf of each new harvest, the
Jews would bring a
thanksgiving offering
to the temple. With it they would
acknowledge that God
had opened the
heavens to bring forth their bread
from the earth. This was a
praise
offering...offered by faith as
well.
It
was offered before the full
harvest was gathered.
This
offering was brought to God at
Pentecost!
The
initial practice of Pentecost was
a celebration of God's provision!
How many Christians
do you know that celebrate in this
fashion?
Who do you know who
actually has a party to celebrate
the Lord's provisions
and centers the party
on giving offerings to the work of
God? This question does
not entail what a
particular body of believers may
do in their worship
services.
The
celebration is not about
receiving... it is about
Giving!
Yet, we need to understand
the direct relationship
between giving and
receiving...
It is the
fulfillment of God's Covenant with
Noah...
As long as the
earth remains there shall
be seedtime and harvest!
In spiritual
language, we are the
earth, Jesus is the Seed
of God,
the
harvest is the new
creation of regenerated
souls!
These
souls come through the Person of
Pentecost!
In the
celebration of the Feast
of the
Harvest ("Open
Heavens"), the Israelites
would express their
praise by bringing "burnt
offerings, grain offerings, drink
offerings, sin
offerings, fellowship offerings
and free will offerings.
They would practice
the gift and grace of giving to
the Lord.
The celebration would
be a tremendous and extraordinary
outpouring of GIVING
with every kind of
offering imaginable.
Who
would receive these offerings
on behalf of the Lord?
The priests were given the
Lord's portion of the
offerings to
sustain them in their
service to the
Lord and to the people.
God is into
measurements.
He is
precise in what He does and when
He does it!
Attitudes of
unbelief keep most of God's people
in bondage.
So many
people want to have that ole
"stiff-necked experience" when it
comes
to the spiritual
things of the Kingdom of Heaven.
In other
words, the pure Word of God
is discarded for a more
comfortable "Gospel."
The attitude
is that It does not matter what
the Word of God says, what really
matters
is how life can
be structured within a man
pleasing structured
"Gospel."
There are so
many factions that promote a
"Gospel" that are built on
suppositions
and belief's
that stretch the very imagination.
They do not
line up with what has been
recorded in the pure Word of
Truth.
There are
things that God wants to do when
the "heavens are open!"
The
disciples and those who were
instructed to go to the upper room
to wait
on God would have
been celebrating the evening
before Pentecost morning.
The previous night,
they would have most likely taken
offerings to the temple
to thank God for His
physical provisions and then
returned and been up all night
studying God's Word.
This was the
"custom" of celebrating in
preparation for the Day of
Pentecost.
Keep in mind
that their study would have been
of the Old Testament.
The New
Testament was not a reality.
It had not been fully
enacted. God had not
done the
extraordinary things that we have
recorded in our
Bibles. BUT!...
Look at what God
did in an extraordinary way in
Acts 2:1-4
(AMP)
1 AND
WHEN the day of Pentecost had
fully come, (note: 50 days
from Passover)
they were all assembled together
in one place,
2 When
suddenly there came a sound from
heaven like the rushing of a
violent tempest blast, and it
filled the whole house in which
they were sitting.
(note; the heavens were "torn
open")
3
And there appeared to them
tongues resembling fire, which
were separated
and distributed and which
settled on each one of them.
4 And
they were all filled (diffused
throughout their souls) with
the Holy Spirit
and began to speak in other
(different, foreign) languages
(tongues), as the
Spirit kept giving them clear
and loud expression
[in each tongue in appropriate
words].
There has
been a battle over
everything that God has set
in place for the
church to be
edified and to grow
exponentially in the Light
of Christ.
Everyone has an
opinion... so did the
Israelites at Mount Sinai.
Do you know
the final outcome of that
rebellious 40 year
generation?
They all died
in the desert wilderness
trapped in their attitudes
and words of
complaint and
disobedience. Only
those who were born into the
wilderness
were allowed to
cross over into a new
beginning with the exception
of
Joshua and
Caleb. First, they had to
exercise obedience, courage
and
faith to even
move into the promised land
that had been prepared for
them.
Let us fully
understand that the promised
land was already occupied
and required
young Israel to
fight for divine position
and to obey God in His
designs for their
welfare,
safety, and victory. Many
were killed moving toward
their destiny.
How many of
God's people are willing to
die to self in order to
attain their destiny
of a dedicated
life in the full power of
the Gospel?
Luke 9:23 (AMP)
And He said to
all, If any person wills to come
after Me, let him deny himself
[disown himself,
forget, lose sight of himself
and his own interests, refuse
and
give up himself]
and take up his cross daily and
follow Me [cleave steadfastly
to Me, conform
wholly to My example in living
and, if need be, in dying also]
God wants to bless
His consecrated people...
● those
who are fully sold-out to Him
● those
willing to receive what He wants
to do
● those
willing to walk in faith
exercising His principles of
Kingdom life.
This brings us to
other important spiritual truths.
This feast the Feast
of Harvest (of
"open heavens") was observed early
in the
third month on the
50th day after the offering of the
barley sheaf at the Passover,
the
Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Pentecost included a holy
convocation with the
usual restriction on
manual labor. Work was
prohibited on the Sabbath. This
feast
was known as the Feast
of Harvest as well as
Pentecost. Num 28:26-31
describes
the number and nature
of offerings and Deut 16:9-12
describes those who were to
be invited to this
feast. They include servants, sons
and daughters, Levites,
the fatherless, the
widow, and the stranger.
Israelites were to be reminded of
their bondage in
Egypt on that day!
(from
Nelson's Illustrated Bible
Dictionary, Copyright (c)1986,
Thomas Nelson
Publishers)
God is not a
respecter of persons when it comes
to salvation or the
baptism of the Holy
Ghost!
See Acts Chapter 10.
Jesus invites all to
come! It is not in the
cannon of the history of spiritual
fellowship
between heaven and earth that you
should be famished, naked,
full of discord, full
of evil, full of disorder, full of
sensuality, full of carnality.
Jesus saw people
coming from the Feast of
Tabernacles in Jerusalem and
called out to them...
John 7:37 (AMP)
Now on the final
and most important day of the
Feast, Jesus stood, and He
cried in a loud voice,
If any man is thirsty,
let him come to Me and drink!
Come thirsty one,
come needy one..
Jesus has sent the
Holy Spirit to fill you with the
joy of living waters!
● Have
you received the revelation of the
force of joy that is available to
you?
● Do you
understand that you have an
extraordinary God?
When you finish
reading this Letter, you will not
go away as you came but you will
go away endued,
infused with the living torch of
the flame of the Master's touch!
These Prophetic Voice
Newsletters are not ordinary
letters.
God would not want
His ministries to be
ordinary.
The City of Lights is
no ordinary website.
It is prepared for
the times and seasons in which we
live!
Humbly, I share the
following personal testimony to
the glory of the
Lord...
As founders of Heart
of God Ministries International,
Phyllis and I make
extraordinary efforts to share the
dynamics of a loving,
powerful and
comprehensively extraordinary
God.
We refuse to be
ordinary and God has continued to
bless the works of our
hands and to return
His Word with new friendships and
new opportunities.
Why am I sharing
these personal things?
Because we have an
extraordinary God who loves us and
talks to us.
He hears our cries
and He answers our questions.
He multiplies us,
increases us and blesses us with
great treasures of His presence
in our lives. We have
a God who makes extraordinary
people and we have
God's plan for our
lives and the work of the
ministries.
We believe God!
We believe the things that He
pours through us in these
Letters.
If you come to a
place of belief as well, you have
come to a place where you
have become
extraordinary. According to
God's Word, when we speak and
write
this way, we have
come to the root of the matter
that can bring forth
anything!
If you who have been
longing for the baptism of the
Holy Ghost and have been
"tarrying" before the
Lord everyday, if you have come to
a place of believing
what the scriptures
and the words of this letter have
revealed, you have come
to a place where you
have become extraordinary.
Because Abram
believed God, every person is
blessed today through faithful
Abraham. He was an
extraordinary man of faith; he
believed God in the
face of everything.
Galatians
3:8-9 (AMP)
8 And the
Scripture, foreseeing that God
would justify (declare
righteous,
put in right standing with
Himself) the Gentiles in
consequence of faith,
proclaimed the Gospel
[foretelling the glad tidings of
a Savior long beforehand]
to Abraham in the promise,
saying, In you shall all the
nations [of the earth]
be blessed.
9 So then, those
who are people of faith are
blessed and made happy and
favored by God [as partners in
fellowship] with the believing
and trusting Abraham.
In
summary what is Pentecost?
●
Pentecost is receiving God's
blessing of abundant provisions.
It is a time
to open our hearts to God in
joyful praise and giving.
As
we do this, it positions us to
receive spiritually as well as
physically in body, soul and
spirit.
●
Pentecost is supernatural
revelation.
It
was a time when God opened the
heavens to reveal His Word.
At
Mount Sinai, fifty days after
Passover, God gave Moses theTorah,
which
means "the teaching of God."
Torah
is the revelation of God's
will,
God's love and God's
character.
Traditionally, most consider it
the first five books of the Bible,
but in spiritual
reality, today,
Torah is all of the
Scriptures... Genesis to
Revelation.
At
Pentecost in Jerusalem, Peter
declared the Gospel and 3000 souls
were
saved and added to the
church.
Through the Holy Ghost's
empowerment, Peter is dramatically
changed and
reveals God's heart to His
people... Peter preaches the Good
News of Christ!
He tells
of the promises of the prophet
Joel chapter 2 whereby the Spirit
of God
is
poured out to be accompanied by
prophetic utterance along with
great signs
and
wonders.
●
Pentecost is
outpouring of the Holy Ghost.
As fire came down
upon Mount Sinai, the FIRE of the
Holy Spirit came upon the
disciples in the
upper room in Jerusalem.
John the Baptist
prophesied that Jesus would
baptize with the Holy Ghost and
fire.
On the Day of
Pentecost the disciples were
clothed with His
power.
The gifts of the
Spirit were energized.
The New Spiritual
Israel, the Church, was birthed!
The anointing of God
equipped them to see the sick
healed, the oppressed delivered,
the Gospel boldly
proclaimed
and the world changed!
Do you
sense the working of the Holy
Spirit in this Letter?
Some of the church around the
globe is crying out today for
a new Pentecost but
because so many
do not know what Pentecost is
all about, they are not able
to
prepare for it.
Then, a large part of the
church doesn't even want to
have anything
to do with
Pentecost! They don't
want the Holy Ghost manifested
and further more,
teach against His
present mission.
The
apostles understood
Pentecost!
They knew how to
enter into the blessing of an
Open heaven!
They celebrated
God's provision with
thanksgiving and praise.
This is what each
of us need to do as
well!
It is time for
all to open up hearts and
minds to the knowledge of
Pentecost and
receive of the
spiritual blessings of the
baptism in the Holy Ghost with
His
giving utterance
of unknown tongues.
God gives us a
three-fold witness of His
provisions for you to be
baptized with
the evidence of
speaking in tongues in
addition to the command of
Jesus of
Mark
16:14-20 we studied
above.
Witness
(1) Acts
2:4 (NKJV)
And they were all filled
with the Holy Spirit and
began to speak with other
tongues,
as the Spirit
gave them utterance.
Witness
(2) Acts
10:45-47 (NKJV)
45
And those of the
circumcision who believed
were astonished, as many as
came with Peter, because the
gift of the Holy Spirit had
been poured out on
the Gentiles also.
46 For they
heard them speak with
tongues and magnify God.
Then Peter answered,
47 "Can anyone
forbid water, that these
should not be baptized who
have received
the Holy Spirit just as we
have?"
Witness
(3) Acts
19:6-7 (NKJV)
6 And
when Paul had laid hands on
them, the Holy Spirit came
upon them,
and they spoke with tongues
and prophesied.
7 Now the
men were about twelve in
all.
The message of
Christ and the gift of
salvation is also given of God
to any who
will believe that
one must be born of the Spirit
to enter the gift of eternal
life.
Jesus is very
explicit about this spiritual
born-again experience. Through
repentance and by
faith we receive God's
governance of our lives.
As
we meditate on God's word, we
attune our minds to think the
thoughts of God
which is His
Word. When faith is
released, we are moved into
new spiritual
experiences with
empowerment to operate by the
Holy Spirit and share the
Light of Truth,
Life and Spirit of the Kingdom
of Heaven!
Are you preparing
for the "open
heavens?
There
is more of the Holy
Spirit Father
God has prepared to
pour out!
Just
as fire rained down
upon the alters of
Mount Carmel, a
fresh outpouring
of fire
is coming to God's
people!
1
Kings 18:38-39
(KJV)
38 Then the fire of
the LORD fell, and
consumed the burnt
sacrifice, and the
wood,
and the stones, and
the dust, and licked
up the water that
was in the trench.
39 And when all the
people saw it, they
fell on their faces:
and they said,
The LORD, he is the
God; the LORD, he is
the God.
Are
you expectantly ready
to receive the fire
from upon high?
It will be
extraordinary!
How do
you prepare?
First seek your Day of
Pentecost!
The following will
prepare you for it and
the fresh fire coming!
1.
Celebrate God's
provisions.
●
Fill your spirit with the
provisions of His Spirit
through personal
relationship and with the Word
of God filling your mind.
Jesus said that when the Holy
Spirit comes to abide and to
empower
us, He will teach us the
things that are Christ's...
those
things are the things of the
Father.
●
How can one desire the things
of Heaven's realm such as
healing,
miracles and divine favor if
one does not esteem and seek
relationship with God the Holy
Spirit?
●
How can one experience the
gifts of the Spirit without
being
equipped with His power?
We must develop a
lifestyle of praise and
thanksgiving.
We
are to be filled with
praise!
Praise
is demonstrated in singing.
Praise
is demonstrated in thank
offerings.
Praise
is demonstrated in the
testimony of our mouth.
Praise opens
heaven for fresh rain of
God's blessings.
2.
Celebrate God's
revelation.
●
Thank Father
God that He has revealed
Himself to you through
His Son, His Word and His
Spirit.
●
Thank Him
that He wants you to know
His mind and His heart.
Jeremiah 29:13 (AMP)
Then you
will seek Me, inquire for,
and require Me [as a vital
necessity] and find
Me when you
search for Me with all
your heart.
● Fill your
mind with His Word and receive
fresh revelation.
●
Allow the Word
of God (His thoughts) to
reprogram your thinking
process.
●
Memorize His promises.
●
Observe how He works in the
lives of men and women who
trust Him.
●
Hunger and thirst for
spiritual bread...
the Word of God, Jesus is the
Bread of Life.
When you pray the Lord's
Prayer, you ask God
for your
daily spiritual meal (bread)
as well as physical needs.
He has provided to lead you by
His Spirit into His word
where you will experience illumination
of
the
bread
prepared
just for you, enlightenment
for understanding, and
revelation
that you may be energized
to share the abundance of
the "meal"
with
others as Jesus did with
the feeding of the 5000.
He illuminates the steps
of light He has set before
you for that day.
●
Actualize what you
believe.
(Act produces the Fact)
3. Celebrate
the Person Holy Spirit.
●
Walk by faith that He is
abiding in you and will
manifest
His
presence to you.
● Stay in step with Him as you
abide in Him.
●
Believe that He will take of what
is Christ's and declare
and
reveal it to you that you may
understand the Spirit Life.
The
Holy Spirit is the
Comforter. He takes the
necessary word at
the right
time and gives it to you.
●
Release yourself to Him with an
humble and thankful heart.
He
will take charge of you.
●
Thank Him for bringing His
thoughts and His divine precious
spirit language into your life to
speak the things that your mind
cannot know what to speak.
● Obey
His directives. You will know it
is Him speaking to you.
He
is kind and direct. Some
times He speaks few words.
Sometimes He will releases a Word
of Knowledge or a Word of
Wisdom
through you to edify and exhort
others.
● Know
that He "opens the heavens."
He also closes them.
● Receive the
Lord's promise of the Holy
Ghost baptism by faith.
●
Expect the baptism of fire and
empowerment.
There is only one Comforter.
He has been with the Father from
the
beginning. He comes to give
Light.
When He comes into your body,
spirit, and soul, He comes to
unveil
the King of Glory. The Holy Spirit
comes to abide in you to
teach
you
about
Jesus
and
to
take
of
all of His and show it to
you.
He shows you the
message and principles of
the Kingdom of Heaven!
By this you know the Holy
Spirit is alive and His
presence is in you!
● The
Spirit of Truth brings forth the
Light of Divine Life.
Divine Life is full of divine
appointment.
Divine Life is full of equipping
of the spiritual gifts.
Divine
Life is full of the power of God
manifested out of the spirit
into the
natural realm. To be filled
with the Holy Spirit is to be
filled
with manifestation of spiritual
gifts. He is the glory of
the Lord
being in the midst of us,
manifesting His power and love.
● The
Holy Spirit is prophetic. He
is the spokesman of heaven on
earth today. He illuminates
the Words of Jesus and the Words
of
all
the Scriptures for our
understanding and effectual work.
He
is breath, life, Person and
power. Give thanks to Father
God
for
all He has already provided for
you and for what He has destined
to
do in the future through your
spiritual walk and the benefits of
the
gift of salvation.
●
Gather with friends and family who
are seeking Him.
Enjoy His presence! He will
manifest to you! Drink of
Him and let
the joy
of the Lord fill you with new
wine. The Holy Spirit has a
wonderful sense of humor! He
loves to fellowship with us!
He
is full of surprises that release
great blessings into our lives!
● Rejoice in His
goodness!
1 Thessalonians 1:5-6
(AMP)
5
For our [preaching of the] glad
tidings (the Gospel) came to you
not only in word,
but also in [its own inherent]
power and in the Holy Spirit and
with great conviction
and absolute certainty [on our
part]. You know what kind of men
we proved
[ourselves] to be among you for
your good.
6
And you [set yourselves to]
become imitators of us and
[through us] of the
Lord Himself, for you
welcomed our message in
[spite of] much persecution,
with joy [inspired] by the
Holy Spirit;
●
Receive the Fire of God and the
energizing of His gifts!
● Celebrate,
celebrate, celebrate the One who
brings the day of Pentecost!
The
promise of the Holy Ghost is here!
Proclaim the love you have for
Him! Seek Him daily!
Declare that His power and
authority are welcome in your
life!
Do
not put restrictions upon
Him. Let Him have His way
with you!
You
will be amazed! He will
honor your sincere and willing
heart and request!
● Study
the accounts of God's power and
miracles in the Bible to
build your faith
and
understanding of what God has
provided for you.
● Read
about the great revivals of
history. Believe what you
read
about the administrations of the
Holy Spirit.
(One of the best
studies and accounts written
recently of great outpouring
is the book:
"The Toronto Blessing an
Experience of Renewal and
Revival"
CATCH THE FIRE
by
Guy Chevreau
May
the fresh Fire of the Holy
Ghost fall upon you and give
you an experience
that is beyond
your 'wildest dreams.'
May you
personally and deeply be
touched with His awesome extraordinary
power and may
He transform you into an
awesome extraordinary
ambassador
of Christ!
Precious Holy
Spirit,
You have
stirred me to record these
words on the heart of my
dear
friend in the
Lord.
Water them like
Seeds that will grow...
Grow faith
Grow strength
Grow them in
being extraordinary in
You...
Empower them
with the Kingly anointing of
our Lord that your spiritual
fire never
leaves them.
Prepare them
for the new things You have
established for this new
season of
Your fire being
released for the great
harvest of souls.
Let them see
that the baptism of the
Spirit is greater than
anything else.
Even in those
who have been baptized by
You, let all be
assured through
extraordinary
experiences that the baptism
of the Spirit is the new
order
of things
altogether as the Lord Jesus
spoke of these things
pertaining to
the Kingdom of
God.
Reveal and
confirm that they cannot
ever be ordinary in a
relationship with You.
Let Your
Anointing Presence on their
lives be multiplied in their
homes and
everywhere they
go.
I declare
the Covenant of
Prosperity for
their body, soul, spirit and
all things for
them and every
person they touch who stays
in Scriptural
order under
their authority in the Name
of Jesus and by His blood.
In Jesus Name,
it is done.
In Christ's Service,
