"The person with an experience is never at the mercy of the person with only an argument." This is a quote that Eddie begins with in this episode where he explains that although we do base our doctrine solely on experience, experience will inform and affirm our doctrine if we allow it.

In this episode, Dr. Eddie Hyatt discusses two reasons for the gifts becoming rare in church history but shows how they never entirely ceased.

In this episode, Eddie discusses the famous church father, Augustine, and how he changed his position from being a cessationist in early life, to in later life, retracting his former belief and describing numerous miracles with which he is intimately aware.

In this episode, Eddie explains the difference between "happiness" and Biblical joy and offers insights in how to maintain the joy of the Lord even in the most difficult circumstances.

In this episode, Eddie discusses the conversion and ministry of Tertullian (160-240) who is another highly respected church father. Like Irenaeus, he shows no knowledge of a theory of cessationism, but tells about the many miracles of which he is aware.

In this episode, Eddie shows how Irenaeus (125-200) a church father highly regarded by both Catholics and Protestants, knows nothing of a Cessation doctrine. To the contrary, he tells of the miraculous gifts being manifested all around him, including speaking in tongues.

In this episode, Eddie shares more evidence for the continuation of the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit in church history, and shares a powerful testimony of the Spirit's power to make us effective witnesses for Jesus according to Acts 1:8.

In this first episode in this series, Eddie defines the doctrine of cessationism and explains how it is based on an erroneous interpretation of Scripture and has no basis in Christian history. The course below consists of a textbook and 20-Lesson manual/study guide for studying and/or teafching revival and charismatic gifts throughout church history.
