February 4, 2012

This week, the Advertising Standards Authority upheld a complaint against a Christian group who’s leaflet claimed God can heal today.

God really does want to bless you!

February 2, 2012

I know, some of my readers will have read a headline like that and panicked. Has Warnie slipped into “Health wealth and prosperity” or “Word of Faith” ? Nope, not at all. But I do feel that it is so easy for us to throw out the baby with the bathwater. I remember at one [...]

Why do I believe in 2nd and 3rd and 4th blessings with the Spirit?

March 23, 2011

Someone recently challenged me about my belief in what he called a “two-tier” Christianity. He seemed to strongly disagree with the idea that we might need at times to be prayed for by a Christian who clearly had a special anointing from the Holy Spirit. I thought I would share here an edited version of [...]

More on the Baptism with the Holy Spirit from Terry Virgo

February 18, 2011

Today Terry continues to argue for the Baptism with the Spirit as a distinct experience (though one that can happen on the day of someones conversion).

Ministers need to be filled with the Holy Spirit – Spurgeon

February 7, 2011

Spurgeon spent a whole sermon arguing for the desperate need of the preacher to be annointed of the Holy Spirit in order that souls may be saved. We would do well to listen and be inspired to cry out to God for greater fullness of the Spirit on our leaders: There is a necessity that [...]

Grabbers of the impossible

February 3, 2011

It is interesting to me how many great pioneers of the past believed in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as something that is needed, subsequent to conversion, to empower the believer for works of service. One example of this is seen in the following quote from C.T. Studd (see also for example, Lloyd-Jones on [...]

The vital roles of Union AND Fellowship with Jesus
