                                                                           Acts 6:4; “We shall be persevering to THE prayer and the service of THE saying (Logos). “  1cor. 14:4a-He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself;                                                                   NT Greek Interlinear The Early Christians understood that they could not neglect prayer. They were a praying church and how great and mighty things they achieved in prayer. Even when they became very busy in ministry, they did not allow business to get in the way of prayer. I want you to notice in the literal text it says, “We will persevere and give ourselves to the prayer…” Pay attention to the words ‘the prayer’, not just a prayer. It was a definite article meaning a determiner that introduces a noun phrase and implies that the thing mentioned has already been mentioned and was common knowledge. The Early Church comprehended that ‘praying in tongues’ was the prayer. Praying in ton

  The Gospel, Grace & Apostleship Paul opens his letter to the Romans with a greeting that teaches us something about his apostleship: Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ   (Romans 1:1-6). Immediately he links his apostleship with the gospel — he was   'called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel' . These aren't two unrelated callings, as he goes on to talk about both — the gospel and apostleship — as the greeting proceeds, drawing the two together again

Amos 3:3 – can two walk together, unless they are agreed? The lives of many believers can be compared to a man who owns a small farm. He works on the farm year in year out and gets just enough to live off this farm. Unknowingly to him or knowingly, underneath his farm is oil and if only he would dig deeper, he would become very rich and will be able to afford the good things of life but he prefers to just farm at the surface. The man represents many Christians today and the field represents the Holy Ghost. The oil represents the riches in Christ. If only we will dig deep we will have oil. Instead of been Christians in poverty we will be Christians with the riches of God. Who is the Holy Ghost? Holy Ghost is the same as the Holy Spirit. The scriptures refer to the Holy Spirit as God, stating in Acts that lying to the Holy Spirit is lying to God, Acts 5:3-4 , and Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 3:16 that the temple of God is the temple of the Holy Spirit. He is coupled

                     Positioning Yourself for His Presence and Glory                                         Positioning Yourself for His Presence and Glory by Todd Bentley WHAT GOD WANTS There's one thing above all else that God wants from His people. That is to know His presence. He desires us to know His presence in our lives and He really is calling us to know that He is with us. God's presence is His glory, and He is calling us into the river of His glory. God wants us hungry, desperate, and jealous for His presence. He said, "Todd, this is your job. Make My people hungry. I want you to make. My people hungry. I want you to stir My people. I want you to make them desperate. I want them to be jealous for My presence. I want you to share with them the times that we have had together, and the ways that I have come to you in My glory, in My power, and I want you to do this because I want you to stir them, and make them hungry and jealous for Me.
