GOD OF PENTECOST


READ: PSALM 90:1-4

In Acts 3:1-10, the man Peter and John met at the gates of the temple was a lame man. There were several other lame men but this one was born lame. He had an inherited problem. However, the fire of the Holy Spirit touched him and his condition disappeared. Psalm 90:2 says that even before the mountains were brought forth, the God of Pentecost was already on the throne. This means that he knows the history of every inherited problem in your life.
A sister once came to me. She had met someone who had agreed to marry her. But the problem was that her father said that she has been dedicated to the river goddess (‘Mammy water’) as a child and that this goddess was waiting to kill any man who married her, on her wedding day. I asked her to give her life to Jesus and she did. Then I briefly prayed with her. She went ahead and got married. Several months later when I saw her, she was breast-feeding a baby. When I asked about her husband, she pointed at the one handsome man who ‘Mammy water’ could not kill because of the touch of the God of Pentecost.
The lame man lay always where he was put until he was removed in the evening. He was fixed in one position until God touched him. Some Christians are like a goat tied to a stick, going round in circles. You may work so hard and save so much, just to meet your target, for example, build a house or buy a car. Just when you are almost there, a problem suddenly arises and takes all the money and you are back to square one. When the God of Pentecost touches you, that curse will be broken.
Some ladies cannot find a husband because of the spirit husband. Some after marriage cannot retain pregnancy: once they have conceived, the spirit husband will come and have sex with them physically or in a dream and that ends the pregnancy. If you call on the God of Pentecost today, he will set you wholly free.
  
MEMORIZE: PSALM 86:10 –For You are great, and do wondrous things: You are God alone.
