Two men directly impacted my life at the beginning of my ministry: My father, Fred Stone, and his uncle, Rufus Dunford. My father was a mighty prayer warrior and a strong believer that Gods charismata (gifts) were all intact within the body of Christ and could be manifested through fasting, prayer, and obedience. His Uncle Rufus was miraculously healed of a deadly brain tumor through prayer in the early 1930s and also received the gift of divers tongues (1 Cor. 12:710) in which he could (only under divine inspiration) speak to foreigners in their native tongue and witness of Christ to them. The amazing aspect of this gift: Rufus only had a third-grade education and no training in foreign languages. It was a gift from God for the purpose of preaching the gospel to men from European nations who came to work in the mines.
I personally witnessed my own father operate in all nine gifts of the Spirit, and I received Uncle Rufuss prayer for an impartation of these gifts in my life when I was eighteen years of age. Both Dad and Rufus made lasting impressions upon my life and ministry. Today I dedicate this book on the Holy Spirit to their memory, as they lived this walk by example and not in word only. I suggest that the reader read with a prayerful and open mind to gain the most benefit from each chapter.

M Y WIFE, CHERISE, and I have been friends with Pam and Perry Stone for more than twenty-five years. Our friendship goes back to the days of youth camp, where both Perry and I received a calling to ministry and encountered the Holy Spirit in a life-changing way. The insights and revelation that Perry has from Gods Word have always amazed me. His extensive studies and research of the Bible makes him a reliable source of godly information and inspiration.
Over the years Ive heard Perry preach and teach on many topics, but the most powerful message that Perry preaches, in my opinion, is when he speaks on the Holy Spirit. Ive witnessed more people in my church and family receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a result of Perrys teaching than any other teacher or preacher I know. To put it simply: nobody teaches about the Holy Spirit better than Perry Stone.
Perry also has carefully studied and researched the spiritual connection between Gods Word and traditional Jewish beliefs and teachings. This book you are holding, The Code of the Holy Spirit, adds a whole new level of understanding to any other teaching about the Holy Spirit as it explores the Spirits role and relationship in your life from a Hebraic perspective that is based on traditional Jewish truths. From the fascinating revelation of the tri-unity of God in Jewish writings to prophetic promises of an end-time healing and reviving, Perry will unveil important truths that will strengthen your faith and inspire you to give the more earnest heed to the things [you] have heard (Heb. 2:1).
I highly recommend The Code of the Holy Spirit by my friend Perry Stone and consider it one of his most powerful and impacting messages. Let it change your life as you discover afresh the supernatural infilling and gifts of our precious Holy Spirit. Allow your vision to be expanded, and begin to grow in the grace and knowledge of God through this insightful study of the Holy Spirit.

MIDNIGHT AT THE
WESTERN WALL
At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, Because of Your righteous judgments.
PSALM 119:62
I T WAS A chilly November night in Israel as four others and myself were making our way toward the famed Western Wall in the Holy City of Jerusalem. As we approached the wall, the beams of white light from a huge Hanukkah lamp cast a somewhat mystical glow on the ancient limestone wall, making the large ashlars give off a yellowish iridescent aura. As we entered the sacred compound, we could hear a mumbling of the high-pitched and lower-sounding voices of mingled prayers, sounding to a casual listener like a distant thunder rumbling across mountains. Countless men were facing the stone wall, rocking back and forth in a rhythmic motion as these midnight worshippers sent words upward from one of Judaisms holiest sites. The wall was lined mostly with men in long black coats and black hats, identified as Orthodox Jews. Others were clothed in white Jewish prayer shawls, called tallits, and fur hats, and they lifted prayer books close to their eyes to pull from the pages every word needed to be spoken. This was Jerusalems Western Wall at midnight!
However, our assignment was not to join in midnight prayers at the wall. We had received a personal invitation to join a leading rabbi for questions and discussions at his rabbinical offices, located to the left of the wall in an apartment-type stone building. The stones matched the style and shape of the wall but were much smaller limestone blocks. In nervous anticipation I would be meeting with a beloved rabbi, Yehuda Getz, a brilliant man with exceptional knowledge who loved Americans and had numerous Christian connections, including Jewish and non-Jewish friends who admired his love for God and the Bible.
