A YEAR OF HELL NOW TURNING TO GOLD

“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ… “. (1 Peter 1:6-7)” Carolyn and I have had a year of hell. Most of our close friends know that by now. But God! HERE COMES MORE VULNERABILITY Let me be very vulnerable for a moment and share things that most preachers will not share with you. You see, many ministers hesitate to share their deep ..read more

FRIEND OF MINE
The Flaming Herald | Bert Farias

Toward the end of his life Lester Sumrall was a lonesome man. What? How could a man of his spiritual stature, who had traveled and ministered all over the world, and supposedly had many sons in the faith be lonesome? The answer is friendship. So called sons aren’t always friends. Disciples aren’t always friends. Ministry colleagues and peers aren’t always friends. Bro. Sumrall said he could count on one hand the number of friends he had. Though I’m sure they loved him, his own biological sons weren’t necessarily his friends either. MY OWN DADDY I watched my own daddy grow old and tired. He had ..read more

THE SUPERNATURAL CHURCH AND MINISTRY  From late 1992 to1996 Carolyn and I were missionaries in The Gambia, a tiny Muslim nation in West Africa. We were there by divine commission. In other words, we were sent. Some just go because they say that Jesus told us to go into all the world.  That is true in a general sense, but not specifically. In Acts 16 Paul and  his team were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to go to Asia and then not permitted to go to Bithynia. Then a vision was given to Paul to go to Macedonia. They were sent.  You see, when you’re sent, you have authority from ..read more

GOD IS BUILDING STRONG LOCAL CHURCHES:

IT’S TIME FOR THE CHURCH TO ASSEMBLE IN THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT After a word of knowledge concerning a woman who was heavily oppressed mentally and physically, the Holy Spirit said, “It takes the faith of a corporate body to lift up such ones who are heavily oppressed. Even the angels participate in aiding such a one for it is the source of great power.” “Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (Lk. 15:10). I know this verse applies to a sinner who comes to repentance, but the principle speaks volumes to us concerning the importanc ..read more

DID YOU KNOW THE WORD REVIVAL IS NOT REALLY A NEW COVENANT WORD?
The Flaming Herald | Bert Farias
by holyfireorg

Please understand that this statement is coming from one who is a revivalist (me)and has studied the history of revivals. It’s coming from an author who has written extensively on revival themes, and who was a part of the great Pensacola revival over 20 years ago. Its coming from one who believes that it’s the greatest need in the American church and in many parts of the world. But when the Spirit of God poses a question like this in your spirit you pay attention. Although the word revival or some form of it is found in several Old Testament scriptures, it is found only once in the New Covena ..read more

MUCH OF THE “PROPHETIC” HAS BECOME PATHETIC
The Flaming Herald | Bert Farias
by holyfireorg
3y ago
This past week I was watching and listening carefully to judge a supposed “heavy” prophetic word a friend sent me to share my perspective on. More on that later. I normally don’t have the time, patience, or even interest to listen to the 999 supposed “prophetic” words that are out there on internet la la land, with most not worth a nickel to me, but because I have high regard for my friend I went ahead and made time to watch and listen to the prophecy.  We have so much of the “prophetic” in America, and one of the reasons for the rampant deception that presently exists in many churches an ..read more

FEAR NOT, AMERICA IS NOT DOOMED

Lately I’ve been going back and referring to the late Kenneth E. Hagin’s many visions and prophecies that he was given throughout much of his life and ministry. They have provided great encouragement and confirmation about some things I have known in my spirit about these end times, but became muddied through the many false prophetic voices heard today. I know that there are godly prophets in the earth today, but Bro. Hagin was proven and accurate, and lived an impeccable life of faithfulness and character, unlike so many today. In my humble opinion, he is the foremost prophet of my lifetime ..read more

THE REASON FOR THE LACK OF THE POWER OF GOD: TOO MUCH MENTAL PRAYING AND NOT ENOUGH SPIRITUAL PRAYING
The Flaming Herald | Bert Farias
by holyfireorg
3y ago
There is a book in my library I often refer to. It is called, Tongues: Beyond The Upper Room, by the late Kenneth E. Hagin. Every believer should have that book. Every church should teach thoroughly from it. Every minister should read it regularly. There are certain men of old like Hagin and many others who were sent by God with light from heaven for their generation. The challenge with each new generation is to keep the light burning that these men brought to us from the Holy Ghost. There is a new church methodology that is making it easier to lose this light. There is a new ministry phi ..read more

FLESH CHURCHES VS. SPIRIT CHURCHES
The Flaming Herald | Bert Farias

As guardians of local churches, shepherds have been entrusted with such a great responsibility. They can either be a lock or a key to opening the door to the move of the Spirit of God in their midst. The Word of God is our foundation, but the Holy Spirit supplies the life. The more we follow the leading of the Spirit the greater will be the life flow in our meetings and times of assembling, and of course in our personal lives as well. The only way to see a turnaround in many local churches today is to focus first on personal and leadership renewal, and then congregational renewal. Let everythi ..read more

THE THING I MISS THE MOST ABOUT THE TRAVELING MINISTRY
The Flaming Herald | Bert Farias
by holyfireorg
3y ago
There was a season in the late John G. Lake’s life and ministry when all he did was travel throughout North America and fellowship with ministers and good friends. He said it fulfilled such a need and ministered a satisfaction to his spirit. He had been ministering and pioneering a work in Africa for years and pouring into others before coming off the field to just travel around the nation and fellowship with those of like-precious faith. Carolyn and I haven’t traveled in over a year. We’ve been in and out of hospitals a good portion of that time. Thank the Lord our health is improving. She’s ..read more
