The “Alwayser” Holy Spirit
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, 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. Jesus was definitely not a “what happens in the synagogue stays in the...
The Realness Factor
One of the most profound statements about the Holy Spirit is found in Benny Hinn’s book “Welcome, Holy Spirit” where he quotes Kathryn Kuhlman telling of her relationship with the Spirit of God.” … Kathryn Kuhlman looked out over those seated in the audience for her healing service and said of the Holy Spirit, ‘He’s more real to me than you are.'” (Taken from page 28.) How real is the Holy Spirit to you? For many, the Holy Spirit is Someone they kind of know exists but can’t provide much information about. To others, He is just a part of a religious creed occasionally recited in liturgical...
The Precedent Has Been Established!
Long before I was born (well, honestly, just three years before), a world record was broken in 1954, forever altering history. While many records may come to mind, the one I am referring to involved a man named Roger Bannister. Not familiar with that name? Here are some clues. Bannister was an athlete. Not ringing a bell? He was a runner. Still not ringing a bell? One last detail. He dared to push past the barriers of impossibility to become the first person to run what was considered to be unreachable, a mile in under 4 minutes. Before breaking the world record, Bannister was running with...
The 7 UP Healing Miracle
Several weeks ago in my Friday morning Access Church "Jesus the Healer" small group, we read and studied what I consider to be one of the most powerful divine healing accounts in the New Testament, the healing of blind Bartimaeus. Possibly like you, I've known of this healing since childhood. I've read it, taught it, preached it, and even used old Barty Baby in a puppet routine back in our days of traveling as children's evangelists. If I remember correctly, around 2 AM on the morning leading into that Access group meeting, I believe that the Holy Spirit awakened me and gave what has become...
The 2025 Faves!
If I were to receive a last-minute invitation to teach in one or more conference workshops or preach in one or more Holy Spirit Rallies or Jesus the Healer Rallies services, and only be given my Bible and a tablet containing this year’s blog posts to use as my teaching/preaching notes, which would be my go-to blog posts? In other words, which are my two-thumbs-up favorites (three-thumbs-up if I had three hands)? I’ll be honest. It is so, so challenging to look through this year’s 52 posts and narrow them down to just five blog posts. Hopefully, my faves will become your faves. I’ve got my...
