Live in the Power of the Holy Spirit
Intercessory prayer came to life for me (Brad Long) through Archer Torrey and the life of prayer I experienced and saw when I lived at Jesus Abbey in South Korea.
It was not so much Archer’s teaching on prayer that affected me.
Rather it was his life of prayer that impacted me.
By joining him in prayer, and seeing the fruit of his prayer life, Archer provided a laboratory in which others of us could experience the necessity and reality of prayer.
…Our world needs the healing ministry of Jesus Christ expressed through believers empowered by the Holy Spirit. Who bring the light of Jesus into this hurting and broken world.
You can help get PRMI Dunamis materials on the healing ministry of Jesus adapted to issues of racial injustice and healing for use by churches, ministries, and people involved.
…The work of prayer and intercession is central to the ministry of PRMI. This includes the vision of the Prayer House at the Community of the Cross being an international hub for intercession.
…Yes, you can be filled with the Holy Spirit, but what does that mean?
If you are a follower of Jesus, you have experienced the work of the Holy Spirit, who now indwells in your heart through faith.
The Holy Spirit brought you to Jesus, made you alive in Christ, and has begun the transforming work in you to produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
…Did you know there are four types of tongues found in the Bible the Holy Spirit may give to a believer?
Maybe a better way to say it is that there are four different ways this gift functions.
Each of these types of tongues have their own special role in building up the believer, in growing the Church, and advancing the Kingdom of God.
…One of the strategies which the enemy uses to conceal his work is cloaking. By understanding this idea, intercessors involved in spiritual warfare against demonic strongholds will discover a prayer tactic for spiritual warfare and strategy to pierce the cloaking.
…Every day I go pray at the Community of the Cross and walk around and inside the Prayer House. My relentless prayer has been and will continue to be:
“Lord! I ask in the name of Jesus Christ for the full financial provision to complete this lovely half-built prayer house for your Glory!”
…Did you know that we find three specific contexts where we find speaking in tongues in the Bible?
Each of these three contexts in the Bible show us expressions of speaking in tongues that will represent a unique purpose.
…Have you ever had a sense that God has given you a vision of some completed project, a mission to complete, or a direction for a new chapter in life?
It might have been a multi-color dream, or an extremely clear mental picture of an outcome or direction.
A vision like this received in prayer can be God’s invitation for us to pray it into reality.
…On January 25, 2020, over a hundred members of the Dunamis Fellowship International dedicated and gave thanks for the renovated Log House building and, in faith, to dedicate the half-finished Prayer House.
…When the Lord called my spiritual mentor Archer Torrey to pray and build Jesus Abbey as a prayer community in South Korea, he often told me,
…“If God the Father calls you to do something that you know is His will but is humanly impossible, then expect the Lord to work the miracles needed. But your role is to step out in faith, and your first work of obedience is prayer.”
One of the most wonderful results of the movement in the Holy Spirit in healing ministry is when a particular individual or group of people start to experience the promise found in the baptism of the Holy Spirit presented in Acts 1:4-8.
When this happens, we are brought into a place of participating with Jesus Christ to minister healing to the nations. This begins to take place in your own congregation or small group by the power of the Holy Spirit.
…The Father’s master strategy for extending the Gospel to all nations and people on earth began with wave upon wave of the Holy Spirit to advance the Kingdom of God to all humanity starting in Jerusalem, and it will end with returning to Jerusalem.
…What congregation does not deal with church conflict to some degree or another?
In some cases, this conflict has reached the level where the church is being split. In other cases, church leadership is in crisis due to personal and family breakdowns.
All of this is due to the very deep reality of human sin which taints every dimension of human life, and every human institution, including the Church of Jesus Christ.
…Prayer is vital for the fulfillment of vision.
But so, too, is human action that works to enact the vision.
The participation of God brought down by prayer is like rain falling on an unsown field; the field has to be sown and cultivated to bring forth fruit.
…Thank you for participating in this adventure with God in the Log House Matching Gift Update – July 19, 2019!
On July 9th, long time supporters of PRMI offered a matching gift to raise the money needed to finish the Log House. They have pledged to match every dollar given between July 9 and August 10, up to $50,000.
We announced this to our Board and to you via email newsletter last week.
Through the early morning of July 19, $24,435 has been given.
…Here is one of those urgent times – a Kairos moment — when some things must happen now if a Kingdom work is to be fulfilled in the future as we find what the Log House needs.
We need your help in praying in enough financial gifts to complete the renovation of the Log House at the Community of the Cross by of August 2019.
A generous donor has offered a $50,000 matching gift if we raise $50,000 by August 10, 2019 for the Log House.
…Brad Long shares an important milestone that happened early June 2019 regarding the building of the Prayer House at the Community of the Cross.
…How does God answer prayer?
How might I recognize that God is answering my prayer?
How will I know that God has answered my prayer?
…Forty days after Easter we celebrate Ascension Day, the day when Jesus returned in glory to His Father.
Just before leaving His disciples on that day, Jesus promised that He would send the Holy Spirit to empower them to be His witnesses (Acts 1:4,5,8).
Ten days later on Pentecost, this promise was fulfilled.
The Holy Spirit was poured out and the disciples were baptized with the Spirit.
Do you need to pray to be “Baptized with the Holy Spirit”?
Or do you need to pray to be “Filled with the Holy Spirit?”
Or are you just fine the way you are?
