Tommy Tyson asks not whether you have the Holy Spirit but whether the Spirit has you. He pictures a kite that wraps itself around the wind to possess it, and it does not stay a kite long. The Ohio CFO in 1969 also hears about a corporation lawyer who looked around his hillside mansion and told him, “This is my pig pen.”
At the Ohio CFO in 1969, Tommy Tyson separates the light God has written in every person from the Holy Spirit, who joins us to the risen Jesus and quickens mind and body alike. His picture of hell is a man whose servant grants every wish until there is nothing new left to want. That is a life shut inside its own will.
Tommy Tyson stakes everything on one claim at the Ohio CFO in 1969: “In Jesus Christ, God changed the species of mankind.” He climbs from minerals to corn to cattle to show that no order of life can lift itself. For breaking a single law, he offers the picture of a car with three doors locked and one left open.
Tommy Tyson speaks the morning after his talk on the incarnation. He reads the forked flame of Pentecost as one tongue with two prongs, God’s speech and man’s saying the same thing at last. He defines the baptism in the Holy Spirit as “a fixed awareness” of the risen Jesus on the inside of you, in this talk to the 1969 Ohio CFO.
A Quaker preacher was told she had not been up to par that morning. She answered, “maybe thee did not bring anything to put it in.” Tommy Tyson opens the healing service of the 1969 Ohio CFO with that line, then gives four marks of healing faith and warns that division among a camp’s leaders blocks the healing stream.
Tommy Tyson remembers his mother taking a tough round steak to the chopping block with a hammer to make it tender. He hears that same word in the psalm’s crown of “loving kindness and tender mercy.” His teaching on prayer ends with a father standing in the gap for his own son, on the closing morning of the 1969 Ohio CFO.
