The Pentecostal Experience in Prayer

The pentecostal experience in Acts was preceded by ten days of fasting and prayer. There is indeed a prerequisite for such an experience. Basically the preparation of the vessel to be filled in and upon by the Holy Spirit. The best and simplest way is prayer. A prayer that is according to the Father's will, not a mere religious or seeking prayer just for the sake of some pentacostal experiences. When a vessel is prepared in prayer according to God with much exercise of the mingled spirit, the Spirit within overflows, and out came the manifestation of the Lord's desire. This is of utmost important for both God and man to co-work to carry out God's eternal economy.

Negatively, this experience can never be imitated or faked. Some might have tried without his being prepared, much less one with the Lord, the result will be fake spirituality with full of deceptions, a good tool for the devil's fomentation of his anti-Christ desires. Such will result only in the producing of Ishmael, Moabites and Ammonites whom Jehovah God hated, and they only work against God. Because the source is completely wrong, its not God but the natural selfish and sinful self. These are the works which many knowingly or unknowingly are enveloping themselves with. These are the work of which the Lord will comment, "I don't know you, worker of lawlessness." May the Lord deliver us from such.

On the contrary, may we be those who humble themselves and open to the Lord, whom the Lord has a free way to deal with every affairs of their most secretive personal affairs and make His home to dwell into deeply. Often times, its not easy for an individual to venture into this deed, nevertheless it not impossible. However, the better is to do so corporately as the Body. In the Body the anointing of the Lord is there, the blessing of the Lord is abundant and the flow of the Lord is like torrent of living waters gushing out. So let's be joined and be one with the Body.

Today I have been blessed being one with the Body in the work of the Lord co-opertating in one accord on the earth as in the days of the apostles. Far away, to the outskirt of Gurgaon, we prayed and prayed and prayed, very much exercising our spirits and releasing the Lord's burden, praying in resurrection touching the throne, praying the victorious prayer of the Lord's triumphal procession, we were filled with the Holy Spirit. The move of the Spirit was very very vivid. We know the Lord has initiated His move in Gurgaon and New Delhi. The stronghold of the ancient serpent cannot persist no longer. Satan has been defeated! That's a fact, in fact, the fact the Lord has already accomplished. Halleluijah! And today we are proclaiming and executing it here on the earth. Halleluijah!

Led of the Lord, we further took a step ahead in laying hands upon different teams of serving saints commissioning them with and by the power and authority of the ascended Christ for the carrying out of the Great Commission to gain Gurgaon and New Delhi, claiming every community and every classes of people for the Lord. Yes, all for the building up of the Body of Christ, the preparation of the bridal army to defeat Satan and bring the Lord back to recover the earth. As we did so, we had the full assurance that the Lord has answered our prayers and it has been done, and that the work is finished! Amen and amen! Halleluijah!
