What role did the Spirit of God play in the teaching ministries of Jesus and the apostles? And how does this New Testament model compare with the teaching methods of today's Bible teachers-including Pentecostals? Early Pentecostal preacher and educator, Donald Gee, once wrote concerning teachers in the Pentecostal Movement: "It has to be ruefully admitted that teachers, as such, often undermined their own acceptance because the brought over into the Pentecostal Revival the methods they had used in their former denominational churches." The purpose of Teaching in the Spirit is to help rectify this problem. It seeks to present a truly New Testament, and thus a truly Pentecostal, model for biblical teaching. It approaches the subject of the work of the Holy Spirit in teaching from three directions: - The Holy Spirit in the Content of Pentecostal Teaching- The Holy Spirit in the Context of Pentecostal Teaching- The Holy Spirit in the Presentation of Pentecostal Teaching

Some read Acts only as history. They say, “Wasn’t it wonderful how the Spirit worked in New Testament times?” They believe, however, that we should not expect Him to work in the same manner today. Others, however, ask, “Why not today? Why can’t the twenty-first century church receive the same Spirit in the same way and thus experience the same power, glory, and guidance as did the early church?” I believe that it can, and should.This “vocational commentary” is purposely oriented toward those actively involved in ministry. As we examine the ministries of the apostles and other believers in Acts, we will be asking the question, “How should their ministries impact and influence our ministries today?” In doing this, we hope to learn many valuable lessons about our own ministries and how we should conduct them. The goal of our study will be more than to simply gain knowledge about the early church. It will be to have the same spiritual experiences as did those first believers, and to put into practice in our own lives and ministries the same practices they implemented into theirs.

The Spirit of God in Mission: A Vocational Commentary on the Book of Acts

In recent years there has been a call, especially from church leaders in the Global South, for a study dealing with the issues that daily affect the lives and ministries of their ever-growing number of missionaries, pastors, evangelists, and lay leaders—issues concerning the role of spiritual power in ministry. In this book missionary-author Denzil R. Miller addresses three critical elements in the implementation and exercise of power ministry: PART I: Understanding Power MinistryPART II: Preparation for Power MinistryPART III: The “How to” of Power Ministry

Power Encounter: Ministering in the Power and Anointing of the Holy Spirit

Power-filled ministry is Christ’s norm for the church, and it is the privilege of every committed follower of Jesus. Jesus promised, “You will receive power when t he Holy Spirit comes upon you …” (Acts 1:8). This promised power enables Christ’s disciples to share the gospel with great effectiveness. It also enables them to minister with powerful signs following. This study seeks to guide believers into such a power-filled ministry. Dr. Denzil R. Miller believes that, if these “ordinary believers” will appropriate Christ’s promise, and learn the principles of power ministry, they too can minister in God power.

You Can Minister in God's Power: A Guide for Spirit-filled Disciples

From the Introduction: “Until we clearly understand the true nature and purpose of Spirit baptism as presented by Luke in the book of Acts, we will never have a clear understanding of its accompanying sign—Spirit-enabled speaking in tongues. In this book I hope to demonstrate how Luke symbiotically links these two deeply spiritual experiences into a common missiological whole. I will attempt to unwrap Luke’s missional understanding of speaking in tongues as presented in his two part history of Christian beginnings (Luke-Acts), and as intuitively grasped by early twentieth-century Pentecostals. In doing this, hope to begin to lay a biblical foundation concerning Luke’s unique missional presentation of both the experience of Spirit baptism itself and of the missional sign that accompanies it.”

Missionary Tongues Revisited: More Than an Evidence: Recapturing Luke's Missional Perspective on Speaking in Tongues

According to veteran missionary and author, Denzil R. Miller, a correct understanding of the kingdom of God can profoundly affect both our lives and our ministries. When we understand that the kingdom of God is a present reality in the world today, and when we understand that kingdom power can be actively at work in our lives and ministries, a tremendous confidence comes into our hearts. We are encouraged to preach with power and pray with boldness. And when we understand thatthe King is coming again to set up His eternal Kingdom in the earth, we are inspired to work to see that the nations hear the message of His salvation.

The Kingdom and the Power - Second Edition: The Kingdom of God: A Pentecostal Interpretation

The Christian life is more than a decision to receive Christ as Savior. It is a commitment to follow Jesus all the days of one’s life. Twenty times in the four gospels Jesus called on His disciples to follow Him. He once said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” This book was written to help you fulfill your commitment to follow Christ. It is designed to help you start your new life in Him well.
