Description

What if the Pentecostal experience you've been settling for is the spiritual equivalent of instant mashed potatoes?

Pastor Jason Mayfield kicks off the "We Are Openly Spirit-Filled" series with a challenge to every believer who's ever wondered why their spiritual experiences don't last past the parking lot. Using Acts 8 and the story of Simon the Sorcerer, Jason unpacks three non-negotiables for authentic Spirit-filled living: Jesus must be the source, Jesus must be the highest, and Jesus must be our friend.

This episode includes a sobering story about a pastor who rigged pyrotechnics inside a fern to fake revival—and the uncomfortable question it raises for all of us: What "fake fires" have we learned to accept?

Whether you're a lifelong Pentecostal or just curious about Spirit-filled Christianity, this message will reframe how you think about the power of God.
