William Joseph Seymour
(1870 – 1922)
William Seymour
William Joseph Seymour was the co-founder of modern Pentecostalism. Brother Seymour will surely go down in history as one of Americas greatest African American religious leaders. You have heard lots about Azusa. Now meet the man who, during times of intercession, stuck his head between two milk crates and prayed for a mighty outpouring of the Holy Ghost.And you shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost comes upon you.”

It was January 1st, 1901, the first day of the new century, when Agnes M. Ozman was baptized with the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues.

In Topeka Kansas there was Bethel Bible School founded by Charles Fox Parham. This school was the 20th Century birthing place of this divine outpouring in the United States. Within a year Brother Parham and other students were also baptized and Brother Parham closed the school and began to conduct revival meetings throughout the mid-west.

God loves sacrificial gifts!

January 25th, 2008

What I’ve learned over the years is that when God asked for an offering, he always asked for a sacrifice.   Some people may say, what is a sacrifice?

A sacrifice is a gift that you give away that you want.  It’s something that you would like to keep and enjoy.  A sacrifice is not something that you don’t want.  It’s something that you and somebody else would definitely use.

A sacrificial gift could be clothes, shoes, a car, your time, food, and much much more.

The reason I’m writing about this subject is that my aunt asked me to give her 1 of our cars.  My family has 3 cars; A 2004 BMW, 2002 Honda Accord, and a 1992 Honda Accord.  All 3 cars are in GREAT condition.  They all work really well, even the 1992 Honda Accord.   I love our cars and it would definitely be a sacrificial gift to my aunt.

I haven’t spoken to my spouse about this yet, therefore I don’t have a concrete answer to give her.  But what I’ve realized is that God always requires us to give, so that we can make room for more that he wants to give us.

Come Out!by Jonas Clark

Handbook For The Serious Deliverance Minister.

Great for bible study and cell groups too!

AS I HAVE TRAVELED THROUGHOUT various countries of the world it is amazing to me just how often the ministry of deliverance is misunderstood. After a particular meeting some years ago, a devoted pastor asked me if I would pray for a young lady in his church who had been tormented for years by demons. He said that they had tried to cast the devils out of her for five years without success. That night she walked away free from the powers of darkness.

This event showed me just how many good, well meaning and devoted believers there are who do not understand the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ to set the captives free. 

In our modern society thousands are coming into our churches from the occult, witchcraft, spiritualism and the new age movement. They are going to need help from us that transcends any natural counseling abilities. This simply means that deliverance can no longer be ignored. 

One of the main reasons that people do not �set the captives free� is a lack of knowledge of the scriptures and the authority given to them by Jesus in this area of ministry. It is my sincere desire to see people dramatically changed through the deliverance ministry. It is time for the church to exercise her authority against Satan who has been allowed to maintain his oppression without a challenge. In this handbook we will learn…
