From the moment I received the Holy Spirit, I believed I had to live as Paul, Peter, John, Philip and the others did in the Acts of the Apostles. And I'm not just saying this, but I demonstrated it, as I'm speaking to you now, I'm 92 and next year, I'll be celebrating 75 years of full-time ministry.
The Power and Authority I have is through the Holy Spirit. I take and use that Power. I have Authority. Why? Because I have received the Pentecost experience myself. After my Dad spoke with me about the importance of the Holy Spirit, aged 14, I was praying and seeking for some time, a year, before I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. But when I did, immediately it transformed my experience – I led my teacher to Christ and two classmates went on to become preachers! Aged 15, God called me to give Him everything and live for Him alone! Aged 18 I went to Bible College, and after only 3 months was asked to pastor a church! I was the only student pastoring a church, full-time, the whole time I was in college! How could I do it? Not because of what I was learning in Bible College – it was what I received from the Holy Spirit! And though I was only a student, so many members of my congregation received the Holy Spirit whilst I was there, that my Dad said, I saw more receive the Holy Spirit in those 2 years, than he had in his whole life!
