Where There’s a Fire …
I'll admit that I'm a conference junkie. I love going to conferences and sitting in workshop after workshop. If you've read the advertisements from many of today's conferences, you will find that the subject matter often focuses on techniques, ambiance, and communication. It's great and needed. But, as great as these topics might be, nothing can or will replace what can happen when a church is set on fire with the Holy Spirit. While creating ambiance and analyzing technique may cause a "wow" factor, the fire from heaven will create a "now" factor that causes the explosive church growth...
Your Present, The Holy Spirit’s Past
Many of this blog's readers only know me by my weekly blog postings, from hearing me speak at our Ignite the Supernatural Conferences, and/or hearing me preach in a local church service. But, there's another side of me that you don't know about. I love practical jokes. Here's a great example. Several years ago while we were still living in South Florida, Vickie flew to Texas for a few days so that she could attend a family member's wedding. My parents picked up Vickie at the Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport and took her to their home for a nice quiet night before the wedding festivities kicked in...
How to Have a Hulk Hogan Spirit Man
Are you looking for an excellent way to illustrate the value of praying daily in the Spirit? For this illustration, you will need barbells or dumbbells. We all know the value of lifting weights. (Demonstrate by lifting and lowering the barbells or dumbbells as you share these thoughts.) With full confidence, we know that with each and every lift of these heavy objects physical change is happening in our bodies. Our muscles are being strengthened. Our stamina is being stretched. Each lift of the weight will cause today's ten lift limitation to yield to a possible 12 lifts tomorrow and a...
2016 His Promise, Your Children, This Year!
God promised that He would pour out His Spirit upon our children. Vickie and I are declaring that His promise is true for YOUR children and it will happen in 2016! How can this happen? Through our 3-hour, Saturday morning Ignite & Unite Conferences, we want to train and equip those ministering in your Nursery, Sunday School, Children's Church, Mid-Week Bible Clubs, and Student Ministries to work together with the Holy Spirit. Why is this important? We are convinced that those working in your ministries want a move of God but just don't know how to flow with the Holy Spirit. Through the...
The Necessity of the Holy Spirit Baptism
Most of my blog posts are such a challenge to compose. My passion for the person and work of the Holy Spirit is so enormous that I battle trying to keep the word count to being something that could be read in two to three minutes. With the average person reading 250 to 300 words per minute, I struggle keeping my passion constrained to a word count that won't overwhelm the reader. Because of the likes of Twitter, the days of individuals sitting down with a book or magazine are long gone. (I’m even struggling now because I’m using word count to explain why I struggle.) Fortunately, there are...
