2025 – The Year of a Mighty Holy Spirit Outpouring
Did you notice that I mentioned 2025? That is right around the corner, isn't it! Here is what I know to be true...in the upcoming months, God's Spirit can fall in YOUR city, in YOUR church, upon YOUR people. This includes EVERY child, teenager, and adult. The "many signs and wonders", "believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women", and "daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ" from Acts 5 could be known of YOUR congregation can begin in 2025! Vickie and I want to be a part of seeing this come to pass in the...
How To Read a Book
I know the title will cause some faithful readers to think, "Now Billy's gone and done it. He has taken simplicity to an extreme." Well, maybe I have and maybe I haven't. I'm writing this post to those of us (I'm included in the "us") who read a book and then later forget 99% of what we've just read. (Are you too part of this "us"?) Please indulge me and give me three minutes and I know that you will later thank me. The actual reading word by word, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, page by page, chapter by chapter isn't really the issue. For me, this was addressed in the first,...

I don't know if it's just because it's the holiday season or that I didn't get much sleep last night but this blog will be unlike any other post in my 17+ years of sharing. I guess that you could guess that something is different just by looking at the blog's header. Are you ready for this? I've just gotta' tell you this story I've used in several recent Holy Spirit Rallies about a long-winded visiting preacher. If you want a teaching or spiritual insight, this particular post isn't for you. The closest that this post will come to being spiritual is found in the scripture "A merry heart...
They Did – He Did – We Do – He Does
Pardon my Southerness (is that really a word?) but I want to share a scripture that should make you more excited and happier than a tick on an old hound dog. Ready? Here it is. "And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen." Mark 16:20 Take an additional 60 seconds and read the same verse from these two translations. "They went out preaching in all directions. The Lord worked with them. He gave proof to the word by the signs that went with them." Mark 16:20 (The New Testament in Everyday English) "And the...
Here’s a First!
From time to time, I love to share powerful quotes that I've gathered from the writings and teachings of some of my spiritual heroes. For example, just a few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post sharing some of the many quotes that I've gathered through the years from my pastor, B.B. Hankins. If you missed that post, you can read it by clicking on this link - https://bit.ly/4eTLBji Back in 2021, I published two posts sharing quotes that I've gathered in my reading from Reinhold Bonnke - https://bit.ly/3x5enav and https://bit.ly/2U9PX14 Earlier in 2020, I shared this post containing quotes from...
