I was in prayer when God spoke these words unto me, by the Holy Ghost. I was silent, when I heard these words ever so clearly, roll across my minds thoughts, three times, before I finally got up to write these words down on paper. As I was in prayer, I was praying for my next book that God wanted for me to write for him. These few words spoken unto me, as the Holy Ghost ministered them unto me, as a hearer of his Spirit. Was the leading of the Holy Ghost, unto me, to write this special book for you, my dear reader? Now another book with a god given teaching will be birthed forth, because of a heart going to the prayer chamber, day after day calling on, our Heavenly Father. ...The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16. After you become a born again child of God. Have you pressed on into the other things of God's love, towards you, my dear friend, such as asking God to fill you with the baptism in the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in other tongues? It is through and by the power of the Holy Ghost that God sent unto the church that the teachings of God's word are fulfilled in us, his sons and daughters, his heirs of the kingdom of heaven. There are many in the body of Christ Jesus, because of your personal beliefs, because of God's children speaking in other tongues, you have neglected, the very gift, for your detained spiritual growth and the Holy Ghost is the very gift that you will need, to experience all of the other blessings of God. The Holy Ghost is the one that opens up, Gods will unto every child of God. He is the door opener, so to speak, in my own terms, as a minister. You will stay in a life of wanting and never experiencing Gods love, in all of the other heights that you can experience, the love of God towards you as a believer. Without the baptism in the Holy Ghost, you will remain in wonder, about many of the teachings that are being taught in the bible. Without the ministry of the Holy Ghost in your life, you will not experience, the gifts of the Holy Ghost and walk in their anointing. You will be like, standing on the other side of an un-seen wall and not be able to partake of what's hidden from you spiritually, because of your personal beliefs and traditions of many that they have passed down unto many of you, because of their beliefs and traditions. It is up to you, you do have a choice to want the baptism in the Holy Ghost, or will you neglect, so great a salvation, being offered unto you, a child of God, do you not want more of God's love manifested into your life. Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? Hebrews 2:1-4. There are many things that the children of God will never experience of Gods deepest love towards you. If you will not learn to yield, unto the Holy Ghost language, called tongues that God gave you, when you received the baptism in the Holy Ghost. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I was not taught by a minister in the flesh, about praying in tongues and to know of the importance, of my spiritual language that God gave unto me, called other tongues. I was taught by God, he is my minister.
About the Author: My name is Pastor Luke L. Chapman. I haven't always been a preacher, quite the contrary. When I was a young teenager everyone always said: "Boy what a good kid Luke is. He is a wonderful young man." Because of a stepfather that had no love for me, my clothes were packed for me and placed on the front porch on Christmas morning. Arrangements were already made for a near friend to pick me up to take me to my real dad's home. This became a cycle unto me. I learned soon to take flight in life, realizing I'm on my own. I was kicked out of school for truancy, failure to want to go to school and to learn. This started a foundation for my life, for my ongoing future. My new friends taught me how to smoke, drink, and cuss and to tell lies. I graduated to smoking weed and using cocaine. I never drank or used cocaine on a regular basis. I just started on weekends or invited parties. I got married and had a Child when I was 21 years old. But, with a lifestyle of drinking, spending money in bars and not on bills or in my home, I soon went through a divorce. Does this sound familiar, like today's youths? At this time, now I'm remarried my wife and I are both cocaine addicts. My wife smoked weed? I sold weed and cocaine to supply our habits. My wife left me one day. I was arrested the same day and put in jail. In jail, I bowed my knees on the floor in my cell. I was the only one there that day. I called upon Jesus and was saved and sent to North Central Correctional Institution. I never thought anyone cared. But I was so wrong. What was meant for evil for me, God changed for the good. Prison became My Bible College. Prison was where God counseled me about my morals. God taught me about being a good husband, a good father unto my Children and how a preacher must live and act. I served six and a half years in prison to learn not do use drugs, not to walk through life aimlessly. I learned my lesson. God raised me up to be a preacher in prison. Prison was my lifesaver. Wow, what a statement one might say! The reason prison was my lifeline was I could have graduated to the other side of life... Six Feet Down. I almost did! I had a heart attack, just before I was sent to prison, from smoking crack cocaine. I almost died. Your Friend... The Harley Davidson Preacher Man Luke L. Chapman Gods Vision...
