Last week's service began with a time of joyful praise and worship, led by Deborah Fiddy.

Pastor Edward spoke concerning the Holy Spirit. He began with Luke 3:15-16, 'As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John,whether he might be the Christ. John answered them all, saying, I baptise you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire.'

When we accept Jesus in to our lives, Jesus promises to give us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our helper. It is the Holy Spirit that helps us to walk the Christian life and manifests the gifts that God wants to give us.

When people pray, prophecy, heal and preach with power and authority, it is the Holy Spirit dwelling in them and empowering them.

Jesus sent the Holy Spirit after He had ascended to heaven so that His work could continue on earth through us.

If you are a believer, and want to experience the power of the Holy Spirit, begin to seek God, ask Him to fill you with the Holy Spirit.

1 John 5:14 'And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him'.

One touch from the Holy Spirit can speak more to you then any man could in a thousand years.
