Here we will periodically be bringing the Word of God to the Internet.

      Acts 2:1-4 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

      The Church that Jesus ordained, started its walk on this earth in the fire of the Holy Ghost. Today God still requires that His Church walk in the fire that it started in. Why don't the Church walk in this fire? Its members have traded the anointing for popularity, worldly goods and a better position in society. We need to get back to where this thing started. Jeremiah wrote to the people of Israel that dwelt in the southern kingdom of Judah in the years of its decline and fall. These people had been led out of bondage only about 800 years. But since their time of deliverance they had failed to remember it was God that led them out. In other words, they failed to walk in the paths God had told them to walk in.

      Jeremiah 6:16  Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

      It seems like today people are getting hold of a gospel of easy believing. Yes it is simple to serve the Lord, but they have adopted several views that do not line up with the Word of God. First thing that a man has to do is be born again. We need to understand that simply donating your money to some ministry, or watching religious television does not mean that you are saved. Although, some of these ministries are good and preach the Word of God, there are some that concentrate on receiving worldly things rather than receiving spiritual things. What they speak of will show you who they are of.

      1 John 4:5  They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

      You see, there has to be an agreement between you and God that you will live a sinless life so that the power of God will be manifest in you. Not an agreement with an organization. We need to be careful what we hear with our ears because we are living in the days that even the very elect will be deceived. They will be deceived in a demonstration of worldly power rather than Godly power. Godly power is available to all that call upon the name of Jesus. You do not have to run to a person to get your healing. These signs follow the believers.

      Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

      It is Gods' will for you to be filled with the Holy Ghost. It is Gods' will for you to possess this power that the old time church had. The next thing we must do is ask for the old path. The old path is not in how you dress or how short or how long your hair is. If you are saved you will dress right anyway. But the old path is in the path of prayer and fasting.

      When we look at the popular church of this day, we find them much like the disciples were when Jesus came down from the Mount of Transfiguration. A man had brought his son that was possessed with a devil and the disciples could not cast him out but we find that in Matthew 10 that he had already gave them power over these things.

      Matthew 10:1  And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

      We must realize that this power only comes from Jesus, He is the only one that can give it to you. A person cannot give it to you, they cannot give their anointing away. It must come from prayer and fasting.

      Matthew 17:19-21  Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

      At the beginning of this walk, the church was on fire . It's altars burned with the prayers of the saints. Several times you find the church seeking God in prayer. The apostle Paul talked about approving ourselves as the ministers of God, to watchings, they were talking about prayer that lasted on into the night. Their heart burned for a closer walk with the Lord. Our heart should burn for a closer walk with the Lord.

      Let us get back to where we started, let us be the church that is on fire for the Lord. Pray for your Pastor and Church and stand in the gap for people in need.
