There is a power of God, and there is a power which is of Satan.
When the Holy Spirit fell in the early days, a number of spiritists came to our meetings. [1]

I believe the word of God is so powerful that it can transform any, and every life.
There is power in God’s word to make that which does not appear to appear.
There is executive power in the word that proceeds from His lips.

If only you will see Him as God’s Lamb, as God’s Beloved Son, who had laid upon Him the iniquity of us all, if only you will see that Jesus paid the whole price for our redemption that we might be free, you can enter into your purchased inheritance of salvation, of life and of power.
Poor Peter, and poor John!
They had no money!

Five times the power of God fell, and then it remained.
But the person who was in the bed was unmoved.

I am not moved by what I see.
I am moved only by what I believe.
I know this: No man looks if he believes.
No man feels if he believes.

Q: I received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit about one week ago, how do I continue to use this Gift, not only in church but in private? Jamie
A: Water baptism is a one-off, the Bible instructs us to do it once after we are saved. In contrast, God’s word tells us to be continually filled with (Baptised in) the Holy Spirit. This means we are to be soused or drenched in God’s Spirit all the time, so that everything we do, say, and think, is in line with Him. Eph. 5:18-20 KJV.

Q: Is the phrase, “Holier than thou” actually in the Bible? If so, who said it, and to whom?
A: Indeed it is, Is. 65:5 KJV;
Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

Prophecy causes more trouble than anything else in the world.
If you turn to the Old Testament you will find prophetic utterances.
Prophetic utterances beginning in the flesh, and ending in the flesh are wrong.

Jesus speaking expressly to the seventy who went out, and came back saying, what wonderful things had happened, said, Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. [Lk. 10:19]

I find that the world is becoming worse and worse on these lines, because she is full of mixtures. When you go to shop, you never know whether you will get the pure article, or adulteration.

All the mighty movings of God are always to purge you, perfect you, make you holy, make you see that He can dwell in you mightily, and move in you by the Spirit gloriously.

For many years, I have thrown out the challenge; to any person, who can prove to me, that he has the Baptism, without speaking in tongues, as the Spirit gives utterance: To prove it by the word that he has been Baptised in the Holy Ghost without the Bible evidence.
But so far no one has accepted the challenge.

I said to them, “I did not come here for your warm fire, your supper, or your bed. I came here because I thought you were hungry to get more of God.”

At one time, I belonged to a class who believed that they had received the Baptism in the Spirit without the speaking in tongues.
