HOW TO PRAY FOR RELEASE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Product Description

The 1973 Yearbook of the Encyclopedia Britannica states: When, in 1960 Father Dennis Bennett announced to his congregation that he had experienced a new outpouring of God's Spirit, the movement can be said to have begun. He is the author of the best-selling book, Nine O'Clock in the Morning, and the co-author of the charismatic classic, The Holy Spirit and You. Reverend Bennett and his wife, Rita, founded the Christian Renewal Association in Edmonds, Washington. God is exciting and wonderful, and knowing Him is what life is all about. In spite of this, for many people, even if they've accepted Jesus, Christianity is not exciting at all. This is because, although the Spirit of God may be living in them, He's still locked up inside. (From the Introduction, by Dennis Bennett) Throughout the late 20th century, the joy and freedom of the Holy Spirit has been released in a spectacular way in the historic churches. Over that time, Dennis Bennett has prepared and prayed with at least twenty-five thousand people for the release or baptism of the Holy Spirit. As one of the pioneers and leaders of this great renewal, Bennett is uniquely qualified to present this on the job handbook for those who are seeking to release the power of the Holy Spirit in their own lives and others. This practical, comprehensive manual answers the questions that are the most often asked about the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and shows you how to prepare and guide others for this release. Reverend Bennett shows you how to be more effective in this ministry by first preparing yourself, and then following time-tested, orderly guidelines for leading others into the exciting, full life of the Spirit.

About Dennis J Bennett

Reverend Dennis Bennett (1917-1991) was born in England on October 28, 1917, the son of a Congregational minister. In 1949, he was ordained into the Congregational church, but in 1952 became ordained as an Episcopal priest. He was "prominently identified with the charismatic renewal from the beginning.The movement is usually dated from the Sunday morning in 1959 when Bennett announced to his congregation in Van Nuys, California, that he had been baptized with the Holy Spirit and had spoken in tongues. As a result, a small opposition group in the congregation challenged him to cease and desist from what later came to be called charismatic experiences. He voluntarily resigned his pastorate, feeling that he did not have adequate understanding to defend his position. In 1960, he accepted an invitation to become vicar of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Seattle, Washington. Within six years the little mission church had become a strong parish. For a decade it was a major center from which word of baptism with the Holy Spirit would spread worldwide, especially in the mainline denominations. Thousands of people experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a result of hearing Bennett's testimony.
