“JOIN GORDON IN JESUS’ GREATEST ADVENTURE” (MATT. 28:16; 15–20)
Being a witness for Jesus Christ and doing ministry for Him when we have received Jesus as our Saviour and Lord and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, is always supposed to be an exciting adventure. Imagine this, that Jesus allows ordinary people, like you and me, regardless of age, race, colour, gender, to do His ministry of “Signs, Wonders and Miracles”! "God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?" (Heb. 2:4) But we have to be prepared to get opposition by people who have never heard the Gospel and/or who have been involved in other religions and or who have had negative experiences in churches who put restrictions on other people’s lives and/or who do not want to hear the Gospel. Just as happened to the Apostles who were arrested for preaching the Gospel and healing people and put in prison, it can happen to us. It was then that an angel of the Lord released them and said to them, “Go stand in the Temple and speak all the words of this Life” (Acts 5:19 –20). And, the temples today are to be found in people’s hearts. It is in their hearts, much to their surprise, that “all the words of this Life” penetrates to make them “New Creations” (2 Cor. 5:17) and be a part of the “Family of God” (1 Jn. 3:1).

“THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS FOR EVERYONE” (ACTS 2:21,38)
At the Business Men’s Fellowship (BMF), Napanee Ontario Chapter Meeting, a 12 year old boy asked me, “Did you receive my email letter telling you that I wanted to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit?” I answered, “I most certainly did! And, now I want to pray with you to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit so you can speak in your new tongues language and be guided by the Holy Spirit every day.” He prayed with me and was filled with the Holy Spirit and easily began to speak in his new tongues language (Acts 2:4). Later, with a big smile, he said, “Thanks Gordon!”
“IT’S A MIRACLE!” (HEB. 2:4)
At a meeting in Millet AB, where the pastors are Maurie and Karen Zushman, a man asked for prayer for healing of his back and left leg which was caused by a car accident. I asked him to sit down on a chair and discovered that his left leg was about 1 12–2 inches shorter than the right leg. I asked him to pray along in tongues as I laid hands on his leg and asked the Holy Spirit to line up his legs so they would be lengthened to the same size. As I prayed, I saw the shorter leg get lengthen to the same length as the other leg. When he stood up, there was no pain in his back. He exclaimed, “It’s a miracle!” Jesus healed him! (Mk. 16:17).
“LET THE CHILDREN COME “ (MATT. 19:14)
A grandmother brought her 2 1/2 year old grandson for prayer in order to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. He was a little shy. I asked him, “Have you invited Jesus to come into your heart?” He nodded and whispered, “Yes!” I then asked him, “Would you like to have the Holy Spirit fill your heart?” And, again he whispered, “Yes!” He prayed with me as we asked Jesus to Baptize him with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4). He began to pray in tongues, stopped, nd grandmother encouraged him to continue and he did. Then, he fell into the pastor’s arms who laid him gently on the floor.
“EQUIPPED FOR EXCITING MINISTRY” (MK. 16:17–20)
At St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, Ocoee FL, USA, a young woman who was considering a position onf the Church Staff, had come for prayer two nights before and received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and received tongues (Acts 2:4) came to talk with me at the ministry time. She told me, “I didn’t receive tongues.” I told her that she did. She slapped me gently on the chest several times to emphasize that she didn’t! I explained to her that when she fell on the floor speaking in tongues, she didn’t hear herself because she was so concentrated on Jesus. I had been counting the time that she was doing so. It was for more than 5 minutes. It was then that I told the Church Administer that she was ready to go on staff. I suggested that she try to speak in tongues. And, much to her surprise, she began to speak in tongues as she fell to the floor again (Is. 28:10). She returned to the service the next evening to explain, “I was praying in tongues constantly most of the night in tongues. Why didn’t somebody tell me this could be so exciting?”
“SEND IN YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS” (JAS. 5:16)
Because we know Jesus as our Saviour we can invite you to send your prayer requests for personal, family, friends, acquaintances, salvation, Baptism of the Holy Spirit, healing, church needs, so we can pray for you. Also please let us know when Jesus has met your needs (Philip. 4:19) so we can also thank Him along with you!
