In this sermon excerpt, the speaker denounces a segment of the church that treats charismatic manifestations of the Holy Spirit as merely trendy or intellectually dubious, labeling that attitude as "undercover atheism." He argues that many accept the idea of the Spirit’s power in theory but reject its practice. The speaker affirms a robust belief in classic charismatic expressions—casting out demons, praying for the sick, preaching the cross and repentance, prophetic ministry, spiritual gifts, and speaking in tongues—and urges listeners to never be ashamed of the Holy Spirit’s work, calling this confidence a defining mark of the current generation.

Chapters

I know today that there is a fringe of the church that finds it trendy to criticize the manifestations of the power of the Holy Spirit. And what many call intellectualism is actually cynicism. I call it undercover atheism. Amen. Where individuals are okay with the power of the Holy Spirit in theory, but never in practice. Just because it's strange does not mean it is not God. Never forget, we believe in the power of the Holy Ghost. We say, "Welcome, Holy Spirit." I don't know about you, but the move of God is with that generation who will say, "I will not be ashamed of the work of the Spirit. I believe in casting out devils. I believe in praying for the sick. I believe in preaching the blood, the cross, repentance." I believe in the prophetic. I believe in the spiritual gifts. And yes, call me crazy, but I believe in speaking in tongues. Never, ever, ever be ashamed of the power of the Holy Ghost.
