God by having them minister and operate under

The only way you can stay full of the Holy Ghost

flow through you to do whatever He wants.
A good example of two people flowing in the
Holy Ghost in the Bible were Peter and John.
They were both very aware of the Holy Ghost and
let Him flow in and through them.

“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and

It is time for the body of Christ to come to the
place of understanding the timing of the Holy
Ghost in a service. People need to see the
manifestations of the Holy Ghost. Before they can
see the manifestations, they need to see the rivers
flowing out of them. People need to see things
operating out of them like never before. They
need to see and understand what is happening in
the local church, when the Holy Ghost is present.
God wants to move on His people. We are not
going to see the miracles, if we don’t see tongues
and interpretations in the church. We are not
going to see miracles, if we don’t see prophesies
coming forth in the church.
People say, “I want to see the working of
miracles in operation in the church.” You can’t
see those things because you are not growing up
with the maturity of the Holy Ghost.
The church has to have the fullness of God and
the development of the Spirit before the
interpretations can come out of individuals to flow
as gifts of the Spirit. Yielding to the Spirit and
allowing Him to operate through the gift of
healings and the working of miracles, can only
happen when the people are yielding and obeying
