Praying in the Spirit – Freedom to the Max!
I love, love, love having the privilege and opportunity to travel and minister in our Holy Spirit Rallies. I am sure that you will whole heartedly agree that this ministry is so needed in today's church. Why? Because preaching and teaching about the baptism in the Holy Spirit and its many, many benefits is seldom if ever heard. Am I right? Let me interrupt the blog to share this random thought that just crossed my mind. Right now, I'm sitting at my desk chuckling. I just had what I call a "funzie". In my mind, I pictured the reaction in a church service if the apostle Paul were to be the...
The “Shall” Factor
Did you know that the "shall" found in "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13) is the same "shall" found in "...they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover"? (Mark 16:18). This may not seem significant to you, but to me, the five-letter "shall" changes everything. Come on and fess up. I'm quite sure that reading this five-letter word didn't cause a download of excitement. I'm right, aren't I? Wait. Don't quit reading. Here is where my excitement originates. Take a minute to reread Romans 10:13. Still not excited? I suggest that you use...
The Holy Spirit @ Walmart
I seriously doubt that there are too many people in our country who haven’t at one time or another seen one of the most famous tag lines in modern tourism marketing, “What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas”. Believe me when I say I’m not sharing this tagline to promote Las Vegas or the "what happens in Las Vegas" mentality. I mention it only because, unbeknownst to many in the church, they have adopted this same mentality. To many, what happens in church stays in church. Consequently, the world isn’t being impacted by their lives. God isn’t a fan of this mentality. In fact, He sent the Holy...
Making the “Knew” New
Here’s an honest confession … some of the things I write about in my blog posts are so common knowledge that I’m almost embarrassed to send them to you. I’m sure that at one time or another, you may have read a post and thought, “He wrote that? Is he for real? That’s not anything new.” Here's the reason for my pushing beyond my fear of “He wrote that? Is he for real? That’s not anything new” responses from you and others. The “He wrote that? Is he for real? That’s not anything new” way of thinking can be so very costly. It often robs the Holy Spirit of the opportunity to provide what we need...
Why I Preach About Divine Healing
Let's face the facts. As Vickie and I travel and minister at our Jesus the Healer Rallies, we aren't traveling down a road occupied by the masses. Are there more trendy, popular subjects to preach and teach? Probably. Well, to be more accurate, yes. If so, why do I go against the trends and continue to preach in church after church that Jesus is still in the healing business? I'm glad that you asked. Here are six reasons why I minister about divine healing and my expectations for doing so. God is glorified. You won't need to turn too many pages in your Bible to discover that when God's...
