Tent Revival, part 2

Last night was another great service. Several people had encounters with God. The evangelist preached that miracles, signs, and wonders are still for today. God still saves the lost, heals the sick, and sets free the captives. We must not water down the gospel or the power of the Cross. The difference between Christianity and other religions is the power of our God. Other gods are unable to change a heart, cause the blind to see, or make the lame to walk. As I travel in other countries it is the confirmation of the gospel through signs and wonders that draws people to Christ. It distinguishes our God from theirs. We must proclaim the full gospel. The A/G logo for the Assemblies of God also stands for "all the gospel." Too many denominations have watered down the gospel and denies it power. This was not true in the book of Acts and is not true for today. God still saves, heals, and delivers. The cross is still powerful. The gospel will be confirmed by God's power. Pentecostals stands for preaching the whole Bible not just portions. Pentecostals expect to experience all the gospel not just parts. The blood of Jesus Christ has provided for your salvation, healing, and freedom. Do not settle for anything less.
