Intercession in the Spirit of Love

Play

Paul refers to his own intercessory prayers and seeks for a similar service on his own behalf from those to whom he writes. Intercession is based upon the tendency of the heart filled by love and deep sympathetic sense of relations to others.

Elisha and the Double Portion of the Spirit of God

Elijah-the-whirlwind

Elisha followed the older man closely that day, refusing suggestions that he stays behind. At the end, the old prophet turned to the young man and said, “Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.” Elisha said, “I pray you, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”

Elisha was asking that the anointing and power of God that rested upon Elijah come upon him, but in a double measure. Elijah replied: “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be done for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” It came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. Elisha saw and cried, ” My father, my father! The Chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof! And He saw him no more . . . ” The condition has been fulfilled.

Pastor Pat Holliday and Pastor Garry Wiggins speak about the Power of God

When you are touched by the Power of God you will never be the same. Intercession is a great part of seeing the move of God operate within the Body of Christ and in the World. Additionally,when the Body of Christ comes together in corporate prayer the Lord is going to pour out His Spirit. Therefore, miracles, signs and wonders, healing, deliverance and salvation are not only for the believer but will also draw the unbeliever to receive Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. Sit back and enjoy this interview with guest Pastor Garry Wiggins of Evangel Temple of Jacksonville, Florida.

Receiving the Power of God

Play

Paul gives us the central secret of Christian power in (Eph. 6:10:11), “Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power ‘Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Christians are unconquerable in the Lord and have the protection of his power when they put their spiritual armor on. Victory occurs when confidence is placed in Jesus. That is when defenses against the wiles of Satan are possible.

When a sinner comes to Christ, he receives power to become a son of God and after Salvation, he can receive extra power from God. (Acts 1:8 and 2:38), describes this extra endowment of power as the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. (Gal. 5:1); (I Pet. 2:11) shows how to clean up lives. Walking in a holy life is the requirement to successfully war against the powers of darkness.
