BOOK REVIEW  Book Title : THE PURPOSE OF PENTECOST Author: T.L OSBORN Pages: 104 LESSON 2: 1. The purpose of receiving the Holy Spirit is not to speak in tongues, but to give proof and boldly witness Jesus Christ to unbelievers. 2. World evangelism is every Christians ministry. This is the number one job of every Christian which is centered on Jesus Christ as the message. 3. Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Spirit of God being confirmed by signs and wonders is always the greatest evangelistic approach in any generation. 4. God always wills to confirm His Word with signs and wonders, and it's only men filled with the Holy Spirit that can give witness of the resurrection of Christ. 5. If men are to believe the gospel of Christ, they must not only hear the message, but they must see it's supernatural confirmations. Good news must be proclaimed with proof and evidence. #TheMessenger #BookReview #ThePurposeOfPentecost  #tlosborn

The levitical priesthood was the only approved priesthood under the law because it draws it's authority from the regulations and divine worship as enshrined in the Mosaic law. Exodus 28:41 [AMP]: You shall put the various articles of clothing on Aaron your brother and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them and ordain and sanctify them, so that they may serve Me as priests. Exodus 28:43 [AMP]: The various articles of clothing shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they enter the Tent of Meeting, or when they approach the altar [of incense] to minister in the Holy Place, so that they do not incur guilt and die. It shall be a statute forever to Aaron and to his descendants after him. Moreover, while Apostle John was in the Spirit and taken into the tarbenacle of heaven, he saw Jesus Christ in the midst of the seven golden lampstands. Revelation 1:13 [AMP]: and in the midst of the lampstands I saw someone like the Son of Man, dressed in a robe reaching to His feet, and with a gold...

The High Priest of the New Convenant, Who is Jesus Christ, never at any time of His life on earth enter into the the Most Holy place of the tabernacle which was built with men's hand as instituted by the Mosaic law. This is because Jesus Christ was the high priest of a greater and more perfect tabernacle than that of the Mosaic law. Hebrews 9:11 [AMP]: But when Christ appeared as a High Priest of the good things to come [that is, true spiritual worship], He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not a part of this [material] creation. More also, Jesus Christ was not an earthly priest who was appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices to a tabernacle which served as a shadow of the heavenly things, because the Mosaic law mandates that the earthly priests according to the precepts of the law must come from the household of Levy, who are the Levites, appointed for the service of the tarbenacle. Hebrews 8:4 [AMP]: Now if He were [stil...

BOOK REVIEW  Book Title : THE PURPOSE OF PENTECOST Author: T.L OSBORN Pages: 104 LESSON 1: 1. Pentecost is not a denomination and should not be monopolized as a church label. 2. Being filled with the Holy Spirit does not make you a pentecostal, it is an enduement of power available to all believers. 3. The Holy Spirit gives us the empowerment to witness Jesus Christ and win souls for God. 4. Don't be categorized by a denomination because the only identity we have is Jesus Christ. You are not a protestant Christian, an Orthodox Christian or a pentecostal Christian, you are simply a Christian and Christ is our identity. 5. The pentecost experience is not a criteria for church membership, you don't receive the Holy Spirit because you are a member of a denomination, neither are you denied the pentecost experience because you are not a member of a certain denomination. The pentecost experience is available to all believers in Jesus Christ. #TheMessenger #BookReview #ThePurposeOfPent...

The inaugural service of the Mosaic law which heralds it's operation was carried out using the blood of calves and goats which foreshadows the death of the testator, serving as a copy or shadow of the blood of Jesus Christ, Who is the mediator of the New Convenant. Exodus 24:8 [NLT]: Then Moses took the blood from the basins and splattered it over the people, declaring, “Look, this blood confirms the covenant the LORD has made with you in giving you these instructions.” This marked the kick off of the Mosaic law, and by the blood of the convenant the children of Israel were made subject to all things with respect to the provisions of the law in regards to regulations and divine worship. Hebrews 9:1 [NLT]: That first covenant between God and Israel had regulations for worship and a place of worship here on earth. The place of worship was made up of three sections, the outer court, and a tabernacle which contained two rooms which were separated by a veil. The first room is called the...

 BOOK REVIEW  Author: SMITH WIGGLESWORTH Pages: 207 LESSON 3: 1. Temptation will come to all. If you are not worth tempting, you are not worth much. Satan is always endeavoring to bring the saints of God into disrepute by bringing against them slanderous accusations, but the Holy Spirit never comes with condemnation. 2. If you believe that God is and He is living and active, evil spirits can no more have control over you, for God will work mightily through you, if you dare believe. 3. Allow God touch your flesh. He has given life to your Spirit, allow Him reign, for He will reign till all is subdued. He is king in your life and is pre- eminent over your affections, your will, your desires and your plans. 4. To see Jesus Christ is to see a new way, to see all things differently. It means a new life, and new plans. As we gaze at Him, we are satisfied; there is none like Him. Sin moves away. 5. God could give us many gifts, but God is satisfied with the lovely gift of Him who suf...

Moses the Prophet who was the mediator of the Old Convenant [The Mosaic Law] was given clear cut instructions by God to build according to a pattern which He would show him, which was reflective of the realities which abound in heaven. Hebrews 8:5 [AMP]: They serve as a pattern and foreshadowing of [what has its true existence and reality in] the heavenly things (sanctuary). For when Moses was about to erect the tabernacle, he was warned by God, saying, “SEE THAT YOU MAKE it all [exactly] ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN WHICH WAS SHOWN TO YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN.” This conotes the desire of God to replicate the heavenly experience on earth by given unto men a sanctuary made with human hands as a foreshadow of the real sanctuary in heaven which were not made with the hands of men. Hebrews 9:1 [AMP]: Now even the first covenant had regulations for divine worship and for the earthly sanctuary. The Mosaic law which includes it's regulations and divine worship could not come into effect without th...
