Charting the Course: Cry for the Power and Glory of God

By Charles Scott
My recent prayer times have focused on calling out to God for a renewal of the power and glory of God upon the PCG. It is my sincere interpretation of Scripture that experiencing the power and the glory of God are results of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus points to the power of God giving these specific directions to the disciples, “But tarry in Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” (Luke 24:49) In John 16:14, Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would glorify Him, “He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.”

I see three main areas where we must lead the PCG in the work of the Holy Spirit:

1. Every believer should experience the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
2. Every aspect of the ministry life of each PCG congregation should be led by the Holy Spirit.
3. Every area of life of every credentialed PCG minister should be anointed with the Spirit.

I ask that you join with me in prayer for eight specific results of the power and glory of God through the work of the Holy Spirit in the Pentecostal Church of God:

1. Power to witness
2. Glorification of Christ
3. Supernatural evidence
4. Spirit-led prayer
5. Biblical understanding
6. Divine guidance
7. Physical health
8. Expressions of God’s love

These areas and positions will be the focal points of my pulpit ministry over the course of the next few weeks. The Day of Pentecost changed everything – and a renewed outpouring of the Holy Spirit will change us today.
