Spirit Filled Preaching

I first met W.D. Frazee in the late 1960s. I was a youth pastor in Hartford, Connecticut. Our senior pastor, Pastor O.J. Mills [father of Phil Mills], invited Pastor Frazee to come and hold a series of meetings in our church. The messages deeply moved me. They were spiritual, biblical, and life changing. I watched as people came forward and gave their hearts to the Lord and knelt at the altar weeping. I listened as others gave testimonies of what Christ had done in their lives and how their lives were changed.

Elder Frazee’s preaching was sincere. He was in earnest. He was a man on a mission. And when I listened to him preach, I sensed that his messages came from the almighty throne room of God. I knew he had been on his knees and that God had impacted his mind. His messages were in contrast to some of the surface, shallow, and superficial messages that we so often hear. These messages were deep. They were biblical, and they were moving. They helped to shape my concept of preaching over thirty years ago.
