Power in Hard times.

Hello Everyone,
There is something that we need to understand and that is Pentecostals Are At Their Best When Times Are At There Worst.

The current Pentecostal movement began in humble locations like Azusa St.
We are at our best when we are forced to depend radically on the Holy Spirit.
We know that great things can be accomplished when we understand “apart from me you can do nothing” John 15:5.
We can never forget the fact that everything is possible only when “nothing is possible without God!”
We need to ask questions like are we doing anything dangerous enough that the Holy Spirit just has to show up.
Our challenge is to be willing to sacrifice respectability, status, and control.
But this is what it takes to find out that our God is “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, NIV

Pentecostals Understand The Supernatural As Present In The Natural.

Power ministry has been proven essential among populations sensitive to the spiritual world.
When the fire consumed the sacrifice on Elijah’s altar on Mount Carmel, the people fell prostrate and proclaimed, “the Lord-He is God!” (1 Kings 18:39 NIV)
America needs to come to this same confession, and they will when they realize that Christianity is more than self-help formulas, and rituals.
The POWER of God must come to heal and deliver!
Desperation turns to Dependence, and Dependence turns to POWER!
No one becomes famous, but the hurting are being healed, and the captive are being freed!
Gods ready are we?
Oh How He Loves Us!
Pastor Phil
