Our Leadership
“The power of God, the only power that can work miracles in your life, is within you, whatever your religion, nationality, sexual preference, gender, or race. Stop quenching it, stop grieving the Holy Spirit by wondering what others will say or think, if they find out that you love the Holy Spirit. I’ll tell you what they will do – they will faint in your presence because you will possess a new zest for living, a new passion, and a new freedom that they never dreamed possible.”
– Ron Roth, Holy Spirit Boundless Energy of God
