I am thrilled to be able to share the news that
Pentecostal Rays DOWNLOADABLE ADOBE VERSION CAN NOW BE VEIWED ON A KINDLE OR PC
THE FOLLOWONG WEBSITE WILL LINK YOU TO THE WEBSITE OR YOU CAN SEE MY ADVERT LOWER DOWN ON THIS WEBSITE
THIS IS A MUST READ FOR EVERY PENTECOSTAL OR NON PENTECOSTAL CHRISTIAN. It has a question and answer section at the back. Sadly there is much misunderstanding in the church today about this subject; there is also a misuse of the gifts in operation in the local church which is casing many to avoid this part of the believer’s life. I have no financial gain promoting these books, I only seek to convey the truth of God’s word and provide recourses to equip the family of God in the last days.
This book is subtitled 'The Baptism and Gifts of the Holy Spirit.' It is an essential teaching for the church of every age!
It is my option that this is one of the best balanced books on the subject of 'The Baptism and Gifts of the Holy Spirit and the fruit of the Holy Spirit'. Principle George Jeffreys uses his experience as the principle of the Elim Bible collage to compare the different schools of thought and explain the Elim/ Bible Pattern view in a very balanced way.

March update
My latest update is with Grateful acknowledgement and thanks to Mrs. L Simpson (Niece of Principal George Jeffries) and grateful acknowledgement and thanks also to a brother in Christ who is a former member of Jubilee Pentecostal church. Why not have a read of this information about the Portsmouth (Southsea) church. And a new post called FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF GEORGE JEFFREYS AS REVIVALIST
AND REFORMER. Taken from “The Yesteryear Memories series” of a dear brother in Christ who has been generously sharing with us during the last few months.
Whilst updating my image of Fight for the Faith and Freedom: George Jeffreys - Revivalist and Reformer, I have discovered a website dedicated to Noel Brookes.
See SCU Archives Collection link below advert for Fight for the Faith and Freedom book which is still availble.
In 1948, Noel Brooks published Fight for the Faith and Freedom as a defense of a many and a movement for he had great respect and allegiance.
Pastor Brooks had aligned himself with the Elim Pentecostal Fellowship, which Jeffreys' had formed. The association emphasized local church autonomy among other points of polity. In 1938, a group within the Elim Fellowship acquired control of the organization. In response, Jeffreys, along with several supporters and churches, disassociated themselves from Elim. When Jeffreys formed the Bible-Pattern Fellowship,Pastor Brooks followed.
Historian Vinson Synan, writing in his history of the Pentecostal Holiness Church, states Brooks had been employed by Jeffreys.
The fervor of youth enthusiasm tempered in time, and according to historian Desmond Cartwright, despite attempts to have the work removed the book remained in print.
Being brought up in the Elim and Bible Pattern churches I was greatly blest by some of the Elim Choruses and hymns from Redemption Hymnal. I have added some Videos for you to enjoy. The link below will help you should you wish to know more information.

To see the videos mentioned above see my sister site by clicking on the photo of George Jeffreys at the top of this site on the left hand side. We have been greatly concerned during the last year to read and watch disturbing reports of false acts of divine healings and miracles. May I stress that what you will read on my website about the Jeffrey brothers and their associate pastors is genuine. I will go into more detail about this in the future. Meanwhile the following website will help to expose some of the people who are doing great harm to the work of Christ and making some doubt some of what I know to be true on this website.

You will also see that I posted an item entitled A response to Darren Brown on Channel 4 TV UK this week. There are some false faith healers, but George and Stephen were real servants of God! 28/04/2011 Please keep in touch and keep the information coming in.
We have only touched the surface. God bless you all in the year ahead.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF GEORGE JEFFREYS AS REVIVALIST
Taken from “The Yesteryear Memories series” of a dear brother in Christ who has been generously sharing with us during the last few months.
In 1943 as a boy, then a young convert, I was taken to the Easter Monday Meetings held in the Westminster Central Hall. Arriving by train, we entered the Hall at about ten minutes to eleven A.M. climbing the great staircase and hearing Pastor Albert Edsor playing the organ with bass notes vibrating around the stairs and then entering the Hall – what joyful singing welcomed us!
At the morning Service a telegram of Greetings and Prayers was read out to be sent to King George VI from the Bible Pattern Church Easter Celebrations. At the Evening Service, the reply would be read out and the National Anthem sung. The Principal would then lead the congregation in singing “Crown Him Lord of All”. As Ron Landau wrote: someone he interviewed said that attending the Meetings at the Albert Hall and Crystal Palace was like re-charging our batteries and the blessings lasted for weeks. That, too, was my experience as well as in those smaller gatherings that I attended at Portsmouth, Southampton, Brighton and the Big Tent at Hove. The same George Jeffreys – the same powerful preaching! Many times we would see him lift his Bible, open up under his chin and then say “listen to the Word of God! He that believeth ……. Hath everlasting life”! Hearing, Believing and Taking!
I have ‘sat on both sides of the fence’ of the Bible Pattern Church and Elim – one a free self-governing assembly and the other centrally controlled.
Character Assassination
While taking an active role at Elim for a number of years “The Great Evangelists”, a book written by Desmond Cartwright which was published with the backing of the Elim Evangel and Headquarters. With such a based portrayal from the official historian of the Elim Movement one can understand Pastor Albert Edsor (private secretary to George Jeffreys and fellow member of the revival party during George Jeffreys ministry in Elim and the Bible Pattern Fellowship), Posting his “Open Letter” to all the Elim, Bible Pattern and Assembles of God Ministers, refuting some of the false points made.
Roy Livesey in his book “Understanding Deception” writes ‘George Jeffreys went off course’ – pages 194/195 under the heading “George Jeffreys” (quotes Desmond Cartwright) – what a load of trash he writes about the Principal; where did he get it from? There was also a shocking attack in his book “Restoring the Kingdom” by Andrew Walker.
I am glad to say that after the passing of George Jeffreys many, including myself, felt led to keep in touch and encourage Pastor Edsor to continue to insure that the truth was told until his passing.
Roy Livesy also portrays the Principal as an Evangelist packing the largest Halls and then believing the lie of British Israelism; diverting his attention not only to doctrine but to a group of influential and wealthy people from whom support was expected- (page 194). I would contend that the Principal held the National Historicist School of prophecy viewpoint as a very young man when in Northern Ireland. In 1943/4 at the London Easter Meetings he was preaching on the “Second Coming” and said that students of Bible Prophecy were expecting 1917 (according to the prophetic clock) the time of the Gentiles to end with tube deliverance of Jerusalem. He also quoted Isaiah 31:5 “As birds flying, so will the Lord of Hosts defend Jerusalem, defending also He will deliver it; and passing over He will preserve it”.
In November 1917 the British Army under General Allenby took Jerusalem without a shot being fired and the British Air Corps flew over (like birds flying) the city and dropped no bombs. The city was taken intact – the Turks had fled! The Principal said he received a telegram from his friend and co-worker and President of the Elim Evangelistic Band (1915) Mr John Leech, M.A. LL.B. K.C. which read “Hallelujah! Another prophecy fulfilled”.
