    About this ebook

    In this handbook by Professor Z.T. Fomum, you will discover what hampers and hinders the extraordinary Christian life, how to remove those obstacles and how to live in a way that is entirely different, but pleasing to the Lord.

    The author will lead you through this book into the possibilities of
    - Living without sin and leading an extraordinary Christian life in an ordinary world,
    - A Christian viewpoint and reaction to different circumstances in life,
    - living such a godly, blissful, blameless, and foolproof life that everyone around you testifies to it.

    The book also presents some specific patterns to prepare people for Christian service.

    The author rounds up by discussing the fruit and purpose of the Spirit-filled life: intimacy with God, and spiritual ministry.

    This book is a very practical and precious manual meant to help you empty yourself of all that is not of God and be filled with the Holy Spirit as a way of life.

    Introduction

    If you remove idols from your heart, the Holy Spirit will fill you. If you leave the idols there, the Holy Spirit will also leave you alone. What will you do with the idols in your heart?

    Do you know what took away the love that you had for Jesus? It could be a more dangerous situation not to know what took away your first love for Him. If you do not know, how then will you be restored? If you know what stood between the Lord and you, put it away immediately. Do not relent until the barrier or barriers are removed.

    God follows a specific pattern to prepare people for service. First, the blood of the Lamb and then the anointing of the Holy Spirit. In preparation for Pentecost, firstly you need cleansing by the blood, then the anointing of the Holy Spirit can come. The cleansing power of the blood must cleanse a life before the Holy Spirit falls on that life.

    Where the blood has cleansed, the Spirit may fall! What qualifies a person for the anointing of the Holy Spirit is the cleansing by the blood of the Lamb. Total filling requires total cleansing!

    It is self-seduction to expose and repent of some sins but leave others, while expecting to be totally filled. Until the blood has cleansed, the oil cannot come. We repeat, the Holy Spirit can only fall upon the person who has been cleansed by the blood.
