HOLY GHOST AND FIRE 

Sunday, May 17, 2020, the Year of Our Lord 

Pastor Carolyn Sissom 

This year Pentecost 2020 is on May 31st.   

During Passover 2020, we the church, experienced the Hand of God as He moved across the earth.  “We the church” were laid on an altar of fire as we watched the churches, economies, schools, medical offices, and transportation systems of the nations and cities of the world suddenly close down.  

We experienced the reality of God’s word of what He is able to do in one day: 

 Rev 18:8 - Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judges her. 

The “her” described in 18:8 is the judgment of “Mystery Babylon” the queen of all the world’s economies. 

As Christians we are persuaded that spiritually the 2020 Passover was perhaps the most significant since Jesus Christ, the Passover Lamb, was crucified on the Cross for the sins of the World.  At least, it is the most spiritually significant of all the generations who are presently on the earth. 

Just as Jesus’ Passover catapulted the world into a new spiritual era, the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven, then we can expect Pentecost 2020 to catapult Christ’s church i.e. His Body into a greater dimension of Christ’s power and glory. 

Pentecost 2019, I preached on the Wind of the Holy Spirit from a first hand knowledge of having experienced the manifest supernatural presence of two of God’s Holy Winds: (1) The east wind; (2) The south wind. 

John prophesied concerning Jesus:  

Matthew 3: 11-12: I (John) indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he (Jesus) that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:  Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. (K.J.V.)  

John was preaching in the desert of Judah: ‘repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’  The people were publicly confessing their sins and John would baptize them in the Jordan River.  He saw many coming from among the Pharisees and Sadducees to witness the baptism.  He said unto them, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?   Bring forth fruits worthy of repentance:
