When many consider modern Christianity, they rightly wonder how we have come so far from the dynamic, supernatural community pictured in the Book of Acts. God did not change between then and now. What happened? Could it be that, in our quest to be relevant, entertaining, hip and appealing to modern culture, we have lowered the standard for the Christian life?
We need a true revival that restores Christianity to the standard found in Acts Chapter 2. That standard is Pentecostal Fire.
Minister, revival teacher, and publisher, Larry Sparks, received a life-changing encounter with the Holy Spirit that revealed how Acts Chapter 2 – and specifically the Day of Pentecost – is a blueprint for Jesus-followers of all eras, ages, and generations to walk in the revival fire of the Holy Spirit’s presence.
In these pages, you will discover:
- The supernatural priorities of Pentecost
- The Bible secret that unlocks Pentecostal power
- 7 prophetic alarm clocks that announce what time it is in the spirit
- How to pray like awakening is knocking at the door
