It's Pentecost Sunday!

How appropriate that this blog series 
begins on Pentecostal Sunday!

I remember when I first received the Precious GIFT of the Holy Ghost with
 the EVIDENCE of SPEAKING in TONGUES at the ripe old age of 11!
 It was on PENTECOST SUNDAY at Deliverance Evangelistic Center
 (The Tabernacle) 785 Dekalb Avenue. What a day! 
Pentecost Sunday will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart! 
 This is where I learned what REAL Power in God was about.
 Where I sat under REAL Apostles and Prophets/Prophetess' who walked
 in the power and authority (that God so graciously allowed) who imparted
 that to me and many other "Deliverance babies". Where there were 
REAL Signs Wonders and Miracles took place.  Where people REALLY got healed,
 delivered and set free! Where the preaching of the Gospel was never
 watered down to appease a crowd. Where the Prophets did not "spin" 
prophecy to keep the people coming back. Where Thus Sayeth The Lord 
really was THUS SAYETH THE LORD. 
Where it was Pentecost power EVERY TIME the Doors of the Church was open.
Not emotionalism, stunts or gimmicks but the REAL Power of God in action.

This is why I can never be good with what is passing for power in churches
 and preaching today. I can never be good with prophecies that only talk
 about  getting spouses, houses, cars, political positions, lands,
 everybody's gonna be a ga-zillionaire if you jump up, spin around 7 times
...and NEVER give a word of judgement due to OUR disobedience of the LORD
 or warning for the people.
 And never preach about REPENTANCE, SANCTIFICATION, DELIVERANCE
 nor walking in HOLINESS. And God knows that it is extremely rare
 that Preachers even talk about the "catching away" of the saints, 
the Tribulation period etc. 

We need the REAL POWER of Pentecost in the land today!
This is not meant to be a one day deal... but God graciously gives us "The Comforter", the gift of the PRECIOUS HOLY GHOST for a LIFETIME!


I'll be ending this blog for today at this point. 
(unless the Lord beckons me  to do another blog today :)  )

Take care and God Bless -
