Expect Signs and Wonders
Before I share the following two quotes, I need to provide a warning. Perhaps I should share this warning in capital letters to place a special emphasis on what I’m about to tell you. Here it is. DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING QUOTES JUST BEFORE GOING TO BED. If these words are fresh in your mind and spirit, it will seriously mess up your ability to sleep. I share this because of previous experiences. I guarantee that what you’re about to read will cause you to want to get up and start shouting. Now that you have been forewarned, read at your own risk. The first quote is from D.W. Kerr, a...
Are You Smarter Than the Average Bear?
If you are a product of the 1960s, you will remember that as a child, your Saturday mornings were filled with watching so many incredible cartoons, including The Jetsons, The Flintstones, and The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. Possibly like me, you would be glued to the television for another dose of Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, Underdog, Top Cat, Mister Magoo, Snagglepuss, Jonny Quest, and Magilla Gorilla. Those were amazing days! If I had to choose one cartoon character as a favorite, hands down, it would be Hanna-Barbera's Yogi Bear. Though it's been well over 50 years since those days, if I...
Demonstrate the Gospel
If you were to walk with me through my office and take the time to look with me at the books on my bookshelves, one of the first treasures I would show is a yellowed by age, ragged by handling book published in 1931 titled The Phenomena of Pentecost. I know this book isn't currently on any top ten list of bestsellers, and you've probably never heard of the book, right? Why is this my favorite book among the literal hundreds of books on my shelves? It's because this book was written by a group of individuals who not only read the book of Acts, but saw it, lived it, preached it, taught it,...
The Power of a Nobody
I've long believed that if God will do something once, He can and will do it again. With that in mind, over the years, I've loved studying the great moves of God because if He did it once, He can and will pour out His Holy Spirit again. One of my favorite studies is the one led by William J. Seymour beginning in 1906 in downtown Los Angeles, California, at 216 North Bonnie Brae. As the presence of God filled the services and what was read throughout the book of Acts was evidenced, the hungry souls relocated to a larger old, dilapidated building at 312 Azusa Street. People from every race,...
The Promise Keeping God!
I know that your time is limited. I want to take just two minutes of your time to remind you of a promise God made to you and your children’s ministry. Ready? ” I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring.” Isaiah 44:3 I love reading God’s promise from this translation … “I will pour out my Spirit into your children and my blessing on your descendants.” Isaiah 44:3 (New Century Version) Know that this wasn’t something that Isaiah promised. Nor was it the consensus of a group of leaders. God Himself made a promise to pour His precious Holy Spirit upon/into...
