Recently my husband, Steve, and I visited Argentina, where revival has been taking place for several years now. Over and over again we heard the same message proclaimed: God is pouring out His fire to purify and prepare a bride who is without spot or wrinkle. This message is based on the declaration John the Baptist made about Jesus, "'He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire'" (Matt. 3:11, NIV, emphasis added).

One of the results of being baptized in fire is holiness, a characteristic that was the primary focus of the Spirit in the late 1800s. It defined the Holiness movement and set the stage for the Pentecostal movement that followed at the turn of the century.

But gradually the emphasis in the Holiness movement changed from seeking to develop a pure heart to simply following a set of rules, and true holiness--taking on the nature of God--was lost. We settled for a doctrine of partial holiness: one that allowed a watered-down purity to coexist with carnal hearts full of compromise, competition and division. read more

It is the Holy Spirit who carefully directs our steps through life so that we will be prepared to meet Jesus.

EVERY WOMAN LOVES a love story. What girl, young or old, hasn't dreamed of being Cinderella, pursued by her Prince Charming?

Most people don't consider Christianity to be first and foremost a love story; but it is. In fact, if you are a Christian you are involved in the greatest love story ever. And, it gets even better; you aren't the ugly stepsister. You are the beautiful bride! read more

BEFORE YOU CAN INVADE YOUR SPHERE OF INFLUENCE FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD, YOU MUST HAVE A FRESH ENCOUNTER WITH HIS SPIRIT.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many professing Christians in America, yet so few cities that have been truly transformed for Christ? Or why, in prayer meetings and conferences, we passionately cry out for nations to be saved in a day; yet our local spheres of influence remain largely unchanged year after year?

The answer can be found by examining the historical seeds of past revivals. read more
