Spirit Full- Prayer and Fasting- Part 4

This message is about being baptized in the Spirit and speaking in tongues. Every believer has the Holy Spirit. It is this that fills people and pours out in the speaking of tongues. Speaking in tongues is private prayer language, private worship and much more. It is a spiritual gift from God that one receives by reaching out in faith. He is ready to give it but are we ready to receive? One doesn’t need the gift of tongues to get into heaven. It is a gift that God would like all to have and it is spiritually based in several books in the Bible. To hear more about speaking in tongues and being baptized in the Holy Spirit listen here.

Fasting 101- Prayer and Fasting- Part 1

This message kicks off a series about prayer and fasting. This Sunday's sermon describes the purpose of bibical fasting. The word "fast" means no food. There are three types of fasting: private, public, and individual. Fasting increases your faith by prayer and it focuses you, pulling you away from the world. It is in this state of humbleness that one can be more receptive to God. These ideas and more are part of the sermon "Fasting 101."
