Forgotten Pentecostal Phrases

with 4 comments

There Are Some Old Pentecostal Phrases Not Often Heard Today.

When I was a boy, it was common to hear the saints use phrases like:

1. If the Lord wills!

2. If the Lord tarrys!

3. I plead the blood!

1Cor. 4:19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

1Cor. 16:7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.

James 4:15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

I wonder why more of us don’t still include God into our plans and in our speech? Where or when did we lose that awareness? Is it possible to rekindle old fires?
