The Power Of The Gospel


This is the prophetic world that I have received from the Lord:
What I began with POWER and FIRE
I will End with POWER and FIRE.”

Christ Jesus said:
'You will receive Power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
And you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea
And Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.' (Acts 1:8)

Christ Jesus commanded His disciples:
Do not leaved Jerusalem, but wait for the GIFT My Father PROMISED,
Which you have heard Me speak about.
For John baptized with water,
But in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:4-5)

When the Day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from Heaven
And filled the whole house where they were sitting.
They saw what seemed to be Tongues of Fire
That separated and came to rest on each of them.
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit
And began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. (Acts 2:1-4)

John the Baptist foretold Pentecost:
'I baptize you with water for repentance.
But after Me will come One Who is more POWERFUL than I,
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with FIRE.
His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor,
Gathering the wheat into His barn
And burning up the chaff with unquenchable FIRE. (Matthew 3:11-12),
(Luke 3:16-17 is similar)

After me will come One more POWERFUL than I,
The thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
I baptize you with water
But He will Baptize you with the Holy Spirit.' (Mark 1:7--8)

Christ Jesus speaking of Pentecost said:
'If a man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said,
Streams of Living Water will flow from within him.'
By this He meant the Spirit
Whom those who believed in Him were later to receive.
Up to that time the Spirit had not been given,
Since Jesus had not yet been Glorified. (John 7:37-39)

I Am going to send you what My Father has PROMISED;
But stay in the City
Until you have been Clothed with POWER from on High. (John 24:49)

Today, Jesus is the same as He was yesterday,
As He will be tomorrow.
He is still Baptizing with the Holy Spirit and with FIRE.
He is always rekindling the FIRE that began with Pentecost.

Pentecost began a never ending REVIAL.
Christ Jesus has kept it ALIVE through every generation since then.
This POWER, His POWER, is the POWER to live for Christ
And the POWER to do the works of Christ.

The apostle Paul said:
My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words,
But with a demonstration of the Spirit's POWER,
So that your Faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's POWER.
(1 Corinthians 2:4-5)

Christ Jesus said:
'I tell you the truth, ANYONE who has faith in Me
Will do what I have been doing.
He will do even greater things than these,
Because I AM going to the Father.
And I will do what ever you ask in My Name,
So that the Son may bring GLORY to the Father.
And I will do what ever you ask in My Name,
So that the Son may bring GLORY to the Father.
You may ask Me for anything in My Name, and I will do it. (John 14:12-14)

My prayer is not for them alone.
I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message,
That ALL of them may be ONE,
Father, as You are in Me and I AM in You.

May they also be in us
So that the world may believe that you have sent Me.
I have given them the GLORY that you gave Me,
That they may be ONE as We are ONE.
I in them and You in Me.
May they be brought to complete UNITY
To let the world know that you sent Me
And have loved them even as You have love Me.

Father, I want those you have given Me to be with Me where I AM,
And to see My GLORY, the GLORY you have given Me
Because you loved Me before the creation of the world.

Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,
I know You, and they know that You have sent Me.
I have made You know to them,
And will continue to make you known
In order that the love You have for Me may be in them
And I myself may be in them. (John 17:20-26)

The ministry that the Lord has given me
Is to rekindle the POWER and FIRE OF PENTECOST.
To spread His POWER and FIRE to all who are willing to receive it;
That they in turn might spread it to the ends of the earth.

What Christ Jesus began with POWER and FIRE
He will End with POWER and FIRE!
His POWER and FIRE are available to everyone; none excluded!
He invites the willing to receive or rekindle His POWER and FIRE;
To walk in it, and spread it, wherever they are.

Today:
The Spirit and the Bride say “Come!'
And let him who hears say, 'Come!'
Whoever is thirsty, let him come;
And whoever wishes, let him take the Free GIFT of The Water of LIFE.
(Revelation 22:17)
