“A new Pentecost,” they say?
What about the one we have already received as born again, Holy Ghost baptized believers?
What can we do with that which we have already received?
How can we respond in faith to the prophecy of a greater outpouring of Holy Ghost and fire coming upon the Church - the Greater Glory?!
If the Church received the baptism of fire at Pentecost, then the baptized Holy Ghost believer has the FIRE IN THEM ALREADY!
What has happened? How do we revive the smoldering embers?
The answer is to go all in with God, press into Him, commit our hearts and lives to Him afresh, and let Him purge things out of you and me that need to go. Then, FAN IT! FAN THE FIRE!
Stir yourself up, fully yielding to the Holy Ghost, praying in the Spirit, worshipping in the Spirit, and shouting the shout of faith IN the Holy Ghost!
Let the FIRE rise up, and stir up the fire yourself!
Yes, we can have it!
If we yield to Him, continually, by stirring and stirring up the embers and letting the fire burn fervently, brightly, and continually - not allowing the fire to subside again - His presence and power will manifest mightily and continually, AS WE ARE CONTINUOUS!
Let’s press into this and not wait, but be found faithful with that which WE ALREADY HAVE RECEIVED!
START THE FIRE AND KEEP IT BURNING!
WE ARE CALLED TO MANIFEST TO THE WORLD EVIDENCE THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS IN US, WITH US, AND WORKING THROUGH US!
Let’s stop acting like what we have received from God isn’t enough...
Selah...
