              Spirit of Prayer by Charles Finney THE SPIRIT OF PRAYER TEXT. --Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints, according to the will of God. --ROMANS viii. 26, 27. My last lecture[s] but one was on the subject of Effectual Prayer; in which I observed that one of the most important attributes of effectual or prevailing prayer is FAITH. This was so extensive a subject that I reserved it for a separate discussion. And accordingly, I lectured last Friday evening on the subject of Faith in Prayer, or, as it is termed, the Prayer of Faith. It was my intention to discuss the subject in a single lecture. But as I was under the necessity of condensing so much on some points, it occurred to me, and was me

“Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.” (Acts 19:11-12) I love the expression ”unusual miracles”. I’ve personally seen firsthand the extraordinary impact signs and wonders make as they accompany the preaching of the Word of God. Do we truly understand what Kingdom Advancement implies? The Apostle Paul did… and if we are to become ministry leaders who do the unusual in the eyes of the world, we will need to put on a lot more courage and tenacity. In the city of Ephesus, a shift in the Spiritual Realm was occurring. The Kingdom of God; which is the government of heaven, was gaining influence over all areas of life from the religious practices to the daily routine. Beliefs were changing and faith was being engaged in unusual ways as people stepped into the supernatural, as if unleashed from natural law. Jesus said

 Experiencing the Resurrection Power Paul loved to  experience the power of the resurrection. We need to note the order that was inspired by the Holy Spirit. That I might know Him comes before the power of His resurrection. It is important that we have a close relationship with God, have His character worked into our lives, so we can handle the power of His resurrection. Over the years we have seen too many people come into a level of ministry and power they could not handle. When we begin to experience God’s power we become targets of the enemy. One Leader said “The Lord warned me early in my ministry, the fact that anyone must come into a relationship with God higher than their office or the very office could destroy them. I’m not saying before we can experience God’s power flowing in our lives, we have to be close to God and be Christ like, but it is certainly a great safeguard”. Fact is God does use powerfully, people lacking in character. Scripture teaches God will dem

The Anointing Upon and Within We see clearly in Scripture that the Spirit of the Lord rested upon Jesus during His earthly ministry. Isaiah the prophet speaks of the seven manifestations of the Holy Spirit that would rest upon the Lord. “The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD (Isaiah 11:2).” There are not seven Holy Spirit’s. There is only one Holy Spirit, yet He is displayed through these seven manifestations which rested upon Jesus. The Spirit of God can also rest upon the believer in order to anoint that person to function in their assigned calling. The anointing upon a person can be increased through obedience to God and time spent in the Word and prayer. In Luke the fourth chapter we read of the time when Jesus went and preached in the synagogue of His hometown of Nazareth. Jesus was handed the scroll of Isaiah and he deliberately found and re

Stopping Wizards in Prophetic Disguise Are you ready for apostolic ministry? God's first apostolic team confronted wizards in prophetic disguise in the Book of Acts. Let's get inspired by their apostolic lifestyle. Barnabas, Saul and John Mark faced false prophets, demonic guards and territorial opposition to their ministry. Barnabas and Saul entered the apostolic dimension when sent from the local church in Antioch around 45 AD. John Mark also accompanied them as an assistant. "And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews and they had also John to their minister" (Acts 13:5). This is probably the same John Mark that would later author the Gospel of Mark. His mother Mary was a prominent woman in Jerusalem where many believers gathered during Peter's imprisonment by Herod Agrippa (Acts 12:12). John Mark joined Barnabas and Paul after delivering famine relief to those in the Jerusalem church. John's
