A house of the Holy Ghost...

God said, “My House shall be called a House of Prayer.” Then, when it becomes a House of Prayer, it becomes a House of Presence. And when it becomes a House of Presence, it becomes a House of Power. That is what Azusa Street did. That is what the early Church did. They made it a House of Prayer. In other words, a House of the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Ghost was in preeminence and it wasn’t man's plans and anything they were trying to do, it was all the Holy Ghost and a yieldedness by all the believers. All the vessels of God were yielding to the Holy Ghost. And when they yielded, they either spoke in tongues or sang in tongues, or sang Spirit-led songs and psalms!
