Pentecostal Religion

Bishop Hamon, a pioneer of restoration in the Church, stands firmly on biblical truth as he explores that great purpose: being conformed to the likeness of Jesus.

Being a friend of God requires exposure to the Holy Fire. His Holy Fire makes us friends by separating us from the world and burning away everything that does not make us pure.

For some people “Pentecostal” is a new word. Although it has become much more common in recent years, its roots go back to an ancient Jewish feast and, more recently, to the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the earliest Christian believers. Because this initial outpouring of the Spirit took place on the Day of Pentecost, those who experience a similar infilling of the Spirit are known as Pentecostals. They look to the book of Acts as a guide for how to live out their Christian faith.

Ecstasy, or extasis, is the Greek term for trance, and is linked with a pleasurable, God-given state of out-of-body experience recorded throughout the New Testament and the church age.

For too long, the popular understanding of Christian salvation has been limited to securing a place in heaven. Sadly, many Christ-followers experience constant defeat during their time on Earth. The biblical concept of salvation comes from the Greek word "Sozo" and has a holistic implication. Power and victory flowed through the New Testament Church because the early Christians understood how to live out their salvation in a way that impacted every area of their lives - spirit, soul, and body.

Master the biblical art of receiving from Heaven. Many Christians feel that their prayers produce no results, and that God remains distant, despite their pursuit of him. Why? Because many are seeking blessings and realities that are already available and accessible!

In the biblical art of receiving from Heaven, we simply say “yes” to the lavish blessings that Jesus has already made available to every believer.

"Can anything orthodox come from Pentecostalism?" This recasting of Nathaniel's familiar question from the Gospel is a fair summary of many modern Christians' assessment of the Pentecostal tradition.

Walk in the footsteps of a king! King David is regarded as one of the Bible’s greatest heroes for one reason: he was a sold-out worshipper. Through all of his success, failures, and pain, David worshipped God with his whole heart. The first 30 Psalms provide a record of his prayers to God - a window into his prayers as he wrestled through every circumstance across the full spectrum of human emotion. David’s example is an important model for modern-day Christians, and his words in the Psalms provide powerful language we can use in our own journey.

The modern church suffers from a serious identity crisis. Many Christians don't know who they really are in Christ. Churches languish in the land of lack, listless, powerless, and with little influence in the world. This is about to change! God is birthing a new thing in the church. He is calling all believers to embrace the anointing of the holy spirit and walk in his divine power to change the world. The harvest is plentiful and the coming end-time revival needs a vibrant, anointed church that is ready to receive that harvest.

There have been many revivals throughout history. Some being so small and contained to a specific area that they have never found their way into the history books, like that of an unreached tribe deep in the jungles of Brazil reached by a small team of missionary students, to the mighty rushing winds recorded in rural churches of Alaska. But very rarely do revivals come with such a fiery spreading and global impact as the Azusa Street Revival, which took place from 1906 to 1908.
