Fast of Obedience.

Fast of Obedience.

Example duration: 1 day; Purpose: to obey Jesus’ instruction. The simplest form of fasting is that of obedience. We fast for no other reason than to obey the instruction of the Lord Jesus. We have no specific requests to make to God, but we decide to skip one or more meals, even if we do […]

Worship Fasting.

Worship Fasting.

Example duration: 1 meal; Purpose: to worship God. David expressed being like a deer longing for streams of water. Sometimes, our love for God becomes so strong and the duration of our worship times so unsatisfying that we desire to spend more time with God. This is the moment for a good adoration fast. Instead […]

Responding to God’s Call to Prayer.

Responding to God’s Call to Prayer.

The Lord told me that there is a depth of prayer and intercession in the Spirit that will be lost if we, who have experience in prayer, do not somehow pass these truths on to the current generation of believers. Over the years, I have known a few individuals who were great intercessors and became […]

Plead your case with the Father.

Plead your case with the Father.

Keeping in mind this understanding of our authority, let’s examine a crucial passage from Scripture in the context of our discussion on praying in the Spirit.

The Best Way to Give Thanks.

The Best Way to Give Thanks.

Paul gives us another reason to pray in tongues. Language is the best way to give thanks. “For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise […]

My father-in-law, Mr. Rooker, was a man of faith, a farmer in the black lands of central-north Texas, near the small town of Tom Bean. I arrived in 1938 to be the pastor of a small Full Gospel church in town and that’s when I started courting his daughter! I remember Mr. Rooker telling me […]

Praying for Mysteries.

Praying for Mysteries.

Allow me to give you an example from my own life, where the Holy Spirit warned me to pray about things in tongues before they happened. I was at a program in St. Louis in 1958, and I had returned to my hotel room after the service. I tried to read a book, but I […]

Maintaining the “Greatest Measure” of the Holy Spirit.

Maintaining the “Greatest Measure” of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit guides Christians to the extent they know Him through the new birth. However, for those filled with the Holy Spirit and praying in tongues, the guidance of the Holy Spirit is available to a much greater extent. Yet, I have discovered that this additional measure of the Holy Spirit operates in my […]

The Obstacles to Receiving the Holy Spirit.

The Obstacles to Receiving the Holy Spirit.

Certain things can hinder a person from being filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, such as a lack of faith or submission. Remember that the Holy Spirit gives the utterance, but it is the person who must speak. This means that the individual must open their mouth and use […]

A LIVING DEAD. Wednesday, November 13.

“But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.” 1 Timothy 5:6 Even though people who live for pleasure may seem to lead a normal life, the reality is that they are dead. This particular kind of people seek only worldly pleasures and have no self-control. In fact, they can be compared to […]
