Receive Ye the Holy Ghost

"The last sermon preached by Christ before His ascension was on the Holy Ghost He said, ..". wait for the promise of the Father … ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence." Acts 1:4-5. (See also Acts 1:8-9) Luke records the last words of Christ as, "Behold I send the promise of my Father upon you; but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high." Luke 24:49. This message must have been of utmost importance, or Christ would never have reserved it until just before He ascended." Asa A. Allen was a controversial evangelist with a Pentecostal healing and deliverance ministry. He was associated with the "Voice of Healing" movement founded by Gordon Lindsay. Allen became one of the first to develop a national television ministry. His television programs frequently included excerpts from his "healing line" ministry.
