Preaching Under the Inspiration and Influence of the Holy Ghost
Dr RJ Sing
“For our [preaching of the] glad tidings (the Gospel) came to you not only in word, but also in [its own inherent] power and in the Holy Spirit and with great conviction and absolute certainty [on our part]. You know what kind of men we proved [ourselves] to be among you for your good.”
This is where the preacher does not depend on the wisdom of man. Now, the Gospel is preached with power at the leading of the Holy Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 1:6 AMP “And you [set yourselves to] become imitators of us and [through us] of the Lord Himself, for you welcomed our message in [spite of] much persecution, with joy [inspired] by the Holy Spirit.”
(See 1 Peter 1:12) This kind of preaching and teaching results in what Peter experienced at the house of Cornelius. “The Holy Ghost fell on all of them that heard the Word.” The Gospel is the good news. This Gospel must be preached with power and demonstration of signs and wonders.
So as you share God’s Word to others, do so under the influence and anointing of the Holy Ghost. As you do this, you will begin to see results. It does not matter whether you are speaking to one person, or to many. Yield and depend on the Holy Ghost. He will anoint you to share the Gospel with power and Divine ability.
