A uotation from a Great Forerunner Geor(e Hawtin+

Pentecost in any man's life should be one of the initial e!periences of his progress towards son"ship. #t

should be the alpha & not the omega, the beginning rather than the end. Pentecost is really the earnest ofour inheritance$ it is not the inheritance itself. @!h.1:1. %he word here rendered, ()*%, in the Greek

means$ a pledge, a part of the purchase money or property given in advance as security for the rest. +ong

ago in #srael when one man bought a piece of land from another, the seller removed his shoe from his foot,

filled it with the soil, & gave it to the buyer, signifying that the land was now his possession &

inheritance. Rth.:B. %his shoe full of soil was called the earnest of the inheritance. %hat is what the

baptism of the Holy *pirit really is. Pentecost is the earnest or a foretaste of a great inheritance to come.

+et us not miss this fact, however. %he earnest of the inheritance contained in minute form the ualities of

the inheritance, & on that glorious Pentecost about two thousand years ago there was an -P)

H). %he sounds of a rushing mighty wind came from heaven. %ongues of fire came from heaven &

filled the waiting believers. %hose assembled that glorious day had their spiritual senses awakened. %hey

saw the heavenly fire$ they heard the heavenly wind as the Holy *pirit swept over them. %hey felt the glory

through their mortal bodies until they staggered about as drunken men full of the wine of the heavenly

Canaan. %hey were men transformed because they tasted of the blessing & the glory & the power of

another world, a heavenly world, & the world of their heavenly citi/enship. s they walked in the glory of

that earnest of their inheritance, nothing could stand before them. )othing could gainsay or resist them.

%he shadow of Peter healed the sick. ngels descended from the glory world to open their prisons & set

them free. Acts. 5:1. Dead "ere raised to life, demons scampered away to the nether regions, &multitudes were converted to Christ. ll this was but the beginning. #t is not the end. 0e do not need

another Pentecost, which was the arnest of our inheritance. 0 12*% )-0 P-**** %H

#)H(#%)C #%*+3""" our spiritual Canaan, our heavenly citi/enship.

%he e!cellence of the realm of which we speak may seem to cast a shadow of doubt over our minds, for

tradition has not taught us to e!pect these glories here & now as part of our inheritance, but has taught us

rather to e!pect them after death in some far distant day. 4ut for the sake of faith & hope that maketh not

ashamed, the word of God is replete with 1any 0itnesses of men & women who, while here on this earth,

walked in the light of an -pen Heaven, having all their spiritual senses wide awake to see, hear, taste

touch & feel & smell the effulgent glory of an open heaven.5 note.
