The Pentecostal "Prayer Througher" - Page 3

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!

I would love to see this happen, personally, in front of me.

Jermyn--
we had four adults receive the Holy Ghost tonight, just like I told you above. There were about ten that came up for it, but four received it right away. We had "Surely the Presence" playing softly in the background - NO HYPE. It was just a very sweet move of God's Spirit.

Things are happening tonight!

In the past few minutes

1- I read MOW's report here about 4 receiving the Holy Ghost Baptism after Bible Study.

2- I also read Eld. Mike Flemming's report on Facebook where he said
"Awesome, off the hook service tonight! 2 baptized, and 2 filled with the baptism of the Holy Spirit! Tomorrow night holds more of the same, revival is in the air!"

God is up to something! We had five from our Spanish service get the Holy Ghost this week too. Three in Spanish service Sunday night, and two teenage girls on the van on the way home from a youth trip on Saturday!!

In the van?

Wow, that sounds like the old story about Bro. Howard Goss and others receiving the Holy Ghost Baptism on the train.

No where was anyone ever "prayed thru" in the bible.

There was never any begging and groveling as we see in our altars.

No one ever prayed with an expectancy that they would speak in tongues.

No one ever got told that they "almost got it" , come back next week and try again.

No one ever had "stammering lips"

The erarly church we see in the book of Acts would probably just about puke if they ever witnessed what goes on in our altars.

And HOW did it all get started to be like this anyway? I am rather "new"
to Pentecost., (12yrs) My experience(s) are wonderfully unique to me, and I certainly do NOT expect everyones to be the same, although I can say that I was very blessed and privileged to enter into HIS Kingdom at a pace that HE
had already laid out for me, that has been the BEST thing that ever happened to me..I wish that it could be such for every lost, hungry & thirsty
soul that treads this dark world., I often shudder to think that some poor
souls walking into a Pentecostal experience such as described above, will NOT
get what they came seeking.

We had a guy from New York get the Holy Ghost on the subway on the way home from a service. Bet that freaked a few people out! We also had a lady in Nashville who left a service we were doing and had to pull off of I-65 because she started weeping and speaking in tongues. God can do it anywhere, I guess!!
