Be a good student.
Paul said, I press toward the mark for
the prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many
as be perfect, be thus minded (Philippians
3:14,15). You must be willing to lay aside
anyone or anything that would keep you from
answering the high calling of God for your life.
It is the responsibility of the student to
respond when the teacher calls class to order;
and as a student of the Holy Ghost, you must
come to order in His presence when He calls
so you can be taught, blessed, edified and
endowed with more power from On High. You
must come into the reality of the person of the
Holy Ghost and yield yourself completely to
Him. You must be willing to sacrifice whatever
is needed to become a greater blessing to the
Kingdom of God.
Jesus said, He that findeth his life shall lose
it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall
find it (Matthew 10:39). Paul said, I beseech
you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of
God, that ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is
your reasonable service (Romans 12:1).
Receive the Holy Ghost
There are so many benefits to having the
person of the Holy Ghost living within you,
and there is so much He wants to do for you;
so you must receive Him. First, you must give
your heart to the Lord, and you can do that by
saying the sinner’s prayer found on page 5 of
this magazine.
Now, I am going to call down the anointing
to receive the Holy Ghost upon you. Then get
off to yourself and start praising the Lord with
your whole heart in your language until the
Holy Ghost takes over. If you yield, the Holy
Ghost will come in and use your tongue to
speak through you in another language. That
will be the beginning of His great work in
your life.
Lord, in the name of Jesus, I call down the
Holy Ghost upon the people. Receive ye the
Holy Ghost in the name of Jesus! Receive ye
the Holy Ghost in the holy, blood name of
Jesus! Friend, keep praising the Lord and
don’t stop until the Holy Ghost comes in.
the New Testament under the leadership of the
Holy Ghost. The twelve disciples who were
with Jesus day after day during His earthly
ministry learned much from Him; but none of
them knew Jesus and the ways of divinity like
the Apostle Paul did, a man who never saw
Jesus in the flesh.
When Jesus was here, the disciples knew
Him as the Son of man; but Paul learned Jesus
as the Son of God through the Holy Ghost
because he had separated himself into the desert
to be taught by the Holy Ghost. But when
it pleased God, who separated me Paul
from my mother’s womb, and called me
by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that
I might preach him among the heathen;
immediately I conferred not with flesh and
blood: Neither went I up to Jerusalem to
them which were apostles before me; but I
went into Arabia, and returned again unto
Damascus. Then after three years I went up
to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with
him fifteen days (Galatians 1:15–18).
Let the Holy Ghost Teach You
To attend a university today, a person must
pay a high price for tuition and then make
many sacrifices to study and learn. If sinners
can make such sacrifices for an earthly education,
how much more should children of God
be willing to sacrifice for a special spiritual
education?
In this final hour, the Lord is giving every
bridal company member an invitation to enroll
in the school of the Holy Ghost and be taught
the greatness of Jesus by the greatest of all
teachers. Do you qualify for enrollment? Are
you born again and living free from sin? Are
you baptized in the Holy Ghost with the initial
evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit
gives the utterance according to Acts 2:4?
Have you taken on the mind of Christ so the
Holy Ghost will have a proper mind to work
with? Are you willing to make the necessary
sacrifices to attend this school?
