Pentecost https://themoreofgod.org A safe place to explore The More Tue, 14 Aug 2018 06:00:50 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5 142912744 Pentecost: Jenn Barbour https://themoreofgod.org/pentecost-jenn/ Mon, 14 May 2018 01:07:39 +0000 http://themoreofgod.org/?p=324 Read more…]]>

For as long as she can remember, Jenn’s mom prayed in the spirit over her and her brother every night at bedtime. It always made her feel good so the memories were sweet. Since they never discussed the theology behind it, Jenn just chalked it up to “that thing Mom does”. However, many years later, with no understanding or desire for the baptism with the Holy Spirit, Jenn found herself at a conference where the speaker was praying over the crowd for that very thing. While the prayer was calling her spirit to attention, Jenn’s body remained stuck in the seat…until divine intervention helped her to respond.

]]> 324 Pentecost: April Harrison https://themoreofgod.org/pentecost-april/ Mon, 07 May 2018 02:33:02 +0000 http://themoreofgod.org/?p=319 Read more…]]> April was saved in her 20’s at an awesome non-denominational church. They didn’t teach Pentecost as something for today, but the Holy Spirit began to personally woo her into “The More” behind the scenes. After a thorough study of Scripture convinced her that Holy Spirit baptism was a real thing, she began to seek it out. But preconceived notions of what this event would be like hindered her. The enemy took further advantage of the situation, whispering lies that God Himself was rejecting her attempts because she was not worthy enough to receive it. After 6 years of gentle and patient revelation, she finally encountered the truth: He had ALWAYS wanted this for her. (And He wants it for you, too!)

 

]]> 319 Encounter: Joanna Watson https://themoreofgod.org/encounter-joanna/ Mon, 30 Apr 2018 02:39:01 +0000 http://themoreofgod.org/?p=313 Read more…]]> Joanna was immersed in church life since birth, but growing up, her relationship with God seemed different than what many of her friends described. The desire to figure this out led Joanna into uncomfortable experiences that offended her mind, but her spirit kept drawing her back to these places where the power and freedom of God was being expressed. Joanna shares her story of how God has now brought her full circle as a worship leader at the same church she angrily stormed out of many years ago.

]]> 313 Encounter: Marc & Jessica Snyder https://themoreofgod.org/marcjessica/ Mon, 16 Apr 2018 01:09:39 +0000 http://themoreofgod.org/?p=285 Read more…]]> Marc and Jess were born into Christian families and saved at a young age, but as they got older and life’s challenges intensified, they knew there had to be something more to God than just going to church and reading their Bibles. With no understanding of what they were looking for and very few like-minded believers around to encourage them, they began to “follow the breadcrumbs” the best they knew how. Their story is proof that those who seek Him WILL find Him.

 

]]> 285 Encounter: Neal Leazer https://themoreofgod.org/neal/ Mon, 02 Apr 2018 11:55:41 +0000 http://themoreofgod.org/?p=273 Read more…]]> Raised in a church with great love for the Bible but not much discussion about the ministry of the Holy Spirit, Neal wasn’t quite sure how to process his powerful introduction to the more of God. Eleven years later, he tells the story of the night he was baptized in the Holy Spirit while his wife was miraculously healed. His website, Born of Spirit, is an amazing resource for anyone searching for more.
