The Pentecostal "Prayer Througher"

[Sherri]

When Eddie teaches on the Holy Ghost baptism, he then calls people to the front who want everything that God has for them. Then he tells them what is going to happen to them, when they ask God for the baptism of His Spirit. He explains about tongues and tells them not to be afraid. Then we do a prayer of repentance together, just to make sure everyone's hearts are clean. Then we ask for the Holy Spirit to come and fill those who are seeking.

Then the staff/prayer team goes around and lays hands on them and there are always a bunch of people who begin speaking in tongues, almost immediately. When you explain it in a logical manner and the people believe it, they are ready and it just happens so easily. We used to make it SO hard for people, and it's a gift that's easy to receive.

Once in a while, someone will fall out in the floor or some other kind of demonstration, but usually it's just standing there rejoicing in the love of God as they speak in a new language given by God. We don't tell them what to say or repeat. God gives them the utterance and it's beautiful!
