Audio Podcast: Activating the Holy Spirit in Your Ministry Every Christian has the Holy Spirit, but too often the Holy Spirit is dormant in their lives. This message explains the ministry of the Holy Spirit and gives the keys to unleash the power of the Holy Spirit in your life and ministry. God never called anyone to do His work without His power, and you can have the power of the Holy Spirit operating in your life! This message, which was delivered at New Life Fellowship in Tolna,...

  We put so much thought and effort into this present life, but the truth is, we are only here for a few moments. Once our bodies are worn out, we will leave this earth and either be with the Lord in heaven or we will spend eternity separated from him. The Scripture says, “For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” (James 4:13-14, NKJV). * No matter how great your health is… * No matter how prosperous you are… * No matter...

  America needs a new heart! We can get new leaders. We can see laws changed. But the real need is for a change of heart—and only God can do that. The Holy Spirit spoke through the prophet Ezekiel: ‭“I will give‭‭ you a new‭ heart‭ and put‭‭ a new‭ spirit‭ within‭ you; I will take‭‭ the heart‭ of stone‭ out of your flesh‭ and give‭‭ you a heart‭ of flesh‭.‭ ‭“I will put‭‭ My Spirit‭ within‭ you and cause‭‭ you to walk‭‭ in My statutes‭, and you will keep‭‭ My judgments‭ and do‭‭...

  Tom and Susan at a pastors conference in India 2015. In August, I shared a message by Skype with a church in Secunderabad, India based on the story of the church at Ephesus from Acts 19:1-20 called “Finding the Purpose for Your Church.” I thought you might enjoy the audio from the meeting with translation into Telugu, one of the 122 major languages of India. I was preaching here at 12:30 a.m. and it was 11 p.m. there. Every local church has its own personality and unique...

  Jesus came to reveal the Father and make a way for us to come to Him. As He was preparing His disciples for the time of His departure, He said: On that day you will ask Me nothing. Truly, truly I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give it to you.‭ ‭Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full‭ . . . ‭On that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying to you that I shall ask the Father on your behalf.‭ ‭For...

Do you ever feel like you are not quite good enough for God? That your life does not quite messure up? If so, this message is for you because your acceptance is not dependent on your performance. It is based on what Jesus did for you on the cross. The Scripture says, "‭But‭ if‭ we walk‭‭ in‭ the light‭, as‭ he‭ is‭‭ in‭ the light‭, we have‭‭ fellowship‭ one with another‭‭, and‭ the blood‭ of Jesus‭ Christ‭ his‭ Son‭ cleanseth‭‭ us‭ from‭ all‭ sin‭.‭" (1John 1:7, KJV). Did you notice...

  Who are you following? And, the second question, where are you going? Because you are going wherever the person you are following is going. We are living in a time when millions of people are following celebrities on social media. There are those who have a great influence on others through their Instagram, TikTok, FaceBook, Twitter (X), or YouTube accounts. It's a good time to ask: who are you following? Who has the greatest influence on your life? Is is a popular singer,...

History proves that Jesus rose from the dead 2,000 years ago. It confirmed everything that He said and proves that he is the Son of God. But what does it mean to us today? Is there power for us today because of this historical event? The scriptures tell us emphatically YES! His resurrection is our resurrection, and when we receive Christ, there is great power in our lives because of the resurrection. Join us for this powerful teaching as we explore God's Word for revelation of the...

  What do you need from the Lord? Maybe you have a physical issue that the doctors can't fix. Or a financial quagmire with no solution. Or a child gone astray. Perhaps it's a need that consumes your days with worry. A woman in the Bible had a problem as well—an issue of blood draining the very life out of her body for 12 long years. Draining her finances, too, as she looked in every corner for an answer. She was a social outcast, too, because her condition required that she go about...

  Today, we are looking at Using Wisdom in Your Speech. Words are powerful! They can be used for good or evil. Sometimes, without realizing it, we are serving the devil by the things that we say. In this video, we look at using godly wisdom in the things that we say in order to produce peace and healing. This is a vital message for all Christians, especially if we want to live a long healthy life. Good speech doesn't come automatically. We need to guard our heart, renew our mind, and as...

  Psalm 103 tells us to not forget the benefits of the Lord. One of the greatest benefits of knowing Jesus is godly wisdom. When you receive Jesus, you receive wisdom. However, you must learn to draw upon that wisdom in order for it to help you. Wisdom will help you in so many areas, including your finances, your health, your family, your business or profession, and more. Enjoy this message on video or audio and be encouraged that wisdom belongs to you, in Jesus’ name. Notes: WISDOM—A...

Many times we think that God is not answering our prayers. But could it be that we are not allowing Him to answer the way that He wants to answer them? We think we need one thing, but God knows we need something else in order to receive what we are asking for. Solomon asked for wisdom, and God gave Him an understanding heart. But the Lord was so happy with His prayer that He also gave Him riches and honor. Many great blessings will come into our lives as we ask God for wisdom to know and...

  I was a born again, Spirit filled, faith-believing, on-fire Christian. I tithed and gave offerings. I had been pastor of two churches, traveled on the missions field, and I had a genuine experience with God. Yet at the same time, I was in debt up above my eyebrows. All because of lack of wisdom. The Bible says that the borrower is a slave to the lender. Even though I was doing certain things, right, my use of credit was keeping me bound and defeated. On this video, I share how God...

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. (2Corinthians 2:14, AV). What a powerful Word of God!!! God ALWAYS causes us to triumph! Not sometime. Half the time. Once in a while. ALWAYS! Think of it. Total victory. All the time. That is God's plan for your life. No, He's not promising you a trouble free life. But through every trial, He gives victory. In this message, I share about the...

  We think of the grace of God as God's unmerited favor through which we have the forgiveness of sins. It is, but it is also God's ability working in us to make us different. Grace helps us to live right, and you can appropriate that grace through prayer whenever you need it! Audio Notes: GRACE HELPS US TO LIVE RIGHT For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. (Romans 6:14, AV). What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that...

Jesus is the Christmas gift who God sent to the earth 2,000 years ago. Through him, we receive the gift of eternal life, sonship, forgiveness of sins, and the gift of righteousness. These are things that we cannot earn, but are freely given to us, because of Jesus and his sacrifice on Calvary. If you have to work to receive something, it is no longer a gift. It is an obligation. But God gives us a free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. I encourage you to receive all that God has for you...

Human beings are naturally resistant to change both in natural things and spiritual things. That is why many Christians and even entire denominations are stuck in a rut of a past move of God and are not moving forward with the new things that God is doing today. Acts 10 is the story of two men who needed change in their lives. One of them, Cornelius, did not receive the change he needed because no one had told him what to do. But the other man, Peter, did not change because he was stuck in...

Today, God is pouring out His Spirit on those that are thirsty. There are many problems in the world that man can't solve, but the Spirit of God has all the answers and the power to bring lasting change in the hearts of mankind. In this message, God is encouraging us to be a light in this dark world and to let the Holy Spirit have His way in our lives. Our Father has promised to pour out His Spirit on ALL flesh. I believe that we are going to see the greatest move of God to ever hit the...

  Throughout Church history, outpourings of the Holy Spirit have changed and empowered believers to demonstrate that Jesus is alive. It all began when God poured out His Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. In this message, Tom and Susan explore the relationship of the baptism of the Holy Spirit to God's plan to reach the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ. The story of the book of Acts can be summarized as Jesus went up, the Holy Ghost came down, and the Church went out. Watch...

  When heaven comes down, things change! There are many problems in the world today that will not change without a visitation of the Holy Spirit. We need heaven to come down and God to set things right. In this video, Tom and Susan look at Jesus' instructions to His disciples to wait for the promise of the Holy Spirit in Acts 1. We also look at some more recent outpourings of the Spirit and God's desire to pour out His Spirit today. This is what we need to change the...

When the prophet Isaiah was grieved by the enemies facing his nation, he cried out to God, "‭Oh‭ that thou wouldest rend‭‭ the heavens‭, that thou wouldest come down‭‭, that the mountains‭ might flow down‭‭ at thy presence‭…"(Isaiah 64:1, AV) Isaiah knew that there are some things that can only change by the manifestation of God's presence. He had experienced that presence himself and been transformed, and he knew that God could do the same for the world around him. When God's presence...

You may be surprised that a small adjustment could make a world of difference. "Don't Forget to Preach the Cross" will jolt you into the reality that God confirms the message of the Cross with the power of the Holy Spirit. In this 22-minute message, you will learn: * How to develop a mind for preaching the Gospel. ...

Photo by NASA. ‭Ah‭ Lord‭ GOD‭! behold, thou hast made‭‭ the heaven‭ and the earth‭ by thy great‭ power‭ and stretched out‭‭ arm‭, ‭and‭ there is nothing‭ too hard‭‭ for thee:‭ (Jeremiah 32:17, AV) Scientists tell us that the universe is at least 97 million light years across, and God set the entire thing up like we would set up a pup tent. If He can do that, certainly nothing is impossible with Him. In this audio message, we look at the great miracles of the Bible as well as the...

Tom sharing this message at Holy Life Tabernacle Church Pastors' Conference. All of us need mercy … including preachers. Mercy is required because we all have missed God, failed, fallen, and broken His commandments. When we recognize our failure, we can easily become discouraged. We may think: I'll never be good enough. I'll never measure up. We look at our failures and wonder, "How can God ever use me?" But what we don't realize is that it's not about us, it's about God's...
