A church without the Holy Spirit has no sense of direction – Prophet David Kankam Beditor

Prophet David Kankam Beditor
The Ashaiman Area Head of the Church of Pentecost, Prophet David Kankam Beditor, has admonished congregants in the Ashaiman Area to have confidence in the ability of the Holy Spirit to direct their path to wealth and safety.
Speaking at the Area Week-3 programme on Wednesday morning at the James McKeown Temple on the theme, “coming with the Holy Ghost fire,” Prophet Beditor likened the Holy Ghost to the attributes of fire and implied that as the smoke from a fire gives a sense of direction to a wanderer in the forest to ran to safety, so does the Holy Spirit directs and guides the path of the believer to their ordained destination.
He explained, “when someone is lost in the forest, the smoke from a fire shows the person exactly where people are. It is the same way the Holy spirit shows the church direction...in our business and living …a church without the Holy Spirit has no sense of direction…it is the Holy Ghost that puts the church in auto pilot. It directs the church by himself in difficult times.”
Prophet however cautioned that the initial stages of the Holy Ghost baptism may not be entirely gloomy, “but when you get to the level of the Holy Spirit, you become stable…the church does not struggle to take control of difficult situation.” he added
Furtherance to that, he expressed the point that one cannot be filled with the Holy Spirit and continues to experience hardship or misfortune because the power of the fire resident in them is able to melt away all difficult situations and also cause them to do exploit.
He continued to explain that the presence of the Holy Spirit puts to flight all alien armies from the life of the receiver. Therefore what is expected of the Christian is to continue to flame into fire the Holy Spirit in order to light their path.
Also speaking at the evening session of the programme was the District Pastor of New Moneomanye District, Pastor David Dorsu who took turns to describe the three dimensions of the Holy Spirit, “God the father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.”
He indicated that the presences of the Holy Spirit renews all aspects of the believers’ life and leaves no traces of iniquities. “If the Spirit of God dwells in us, all iniquities are gone. We no longer live for ourselves.” he said
Pastor Dorsu reassured the congregants that the presences of the Holy Spirit would ensure that they do not struggle and that every declaration that proceeds from their mouth shall be establish by God.
