Last week we focused on the first of three elements we see in the Sudden Movement of God: I. Spirit anointed Message. This week we looked at two more: II. God makes the place special. God calls His people to places where the focus is on Him. The crowds from the region of Judea flocked by the thousands to hear John the Baptist's message: "The Messiah is right around the...

Yet, all interested in this topic, Christian or non-believer, may find it relevant to them as it touches on issues that are being intensely debated in our day. Two other thing needs to be said that may be seen as token words by some and insincere platitudes by others. I assure you, they are...

The Sudden Movement of God, Part 1; Mark 1:4 In Malachi four we have the last words of an inspired prophetic voice during the Old Testament era. In verses five and six the prediction is made that Elijah will come before the day of the Lord. There is a bit about Elijah's ministry and then the prophetic mouth is closed.

Paul says in the passage in I Thessalonians that his message did not just come in Word. It is possible to have messages that only come in Word, but come devoid of power and are not accompanied by the move of the Spirit. T...

How can one know that he has truly been given the gift of faith? There are definitely different indicators that prove someone's faith is genuine. I Thessalonians 1: 45 really gives clear marks by which we can measure the validity of our faith.
