Do I Have To?
Here's a mind-blowing, earth-shattering revelation ... we must change our "have-to" mentality into a "get-to" mentality in order to open the door for God to do bigger, better things in both us and our ministry. This blog posting is based totally on personal experience. This isn't a story that I heard about in someone else's conference. While this is one of those true confession blogs that will possibly shatter your perception of me being a perfect person I'll go ahead and share this confession anyway. Because of Trinity's large attendance and for the convenience of its people, many years...
Preparing for the Supernatural
Here's a quick reminder ... you are a vital, important part of God's master plan for ushering a move of His Spirit across our land. And, here's reminder number two ... you haven't arrived. You aren't at your journey's final destination. And, finally reminder number three ... because you haven't had the privilege to see God's total plan for your life, I'll go so far as to say that you don't have a clue as to all that God has planned for you in the days, weeks, months, and years to come. How do I know this? Read this ... "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of...
Unpacking Parakletos
It's true confession time ... I hate to clean out my clothes closet. It's a task that should be an annual event but usually turns into a dreaded undertaking only accomplished whenever I can finally muster up the courage. Why? It's while doing this job that I have to come to terms with reality. Reality is that I have to part with a favorite shirt that is too faded or has too many holes or rips. Then there's also the ultimate "oh-no" factor. I have to try on clothes to see if they "shrunk" while hanging in my closet. This cleaning out the closet process forces me to admit that I can't squeeze...

Want to Change His Promise into a TODAY Reality?
The other morning, I was sitting in my office meditating on the prophecy found in Joel, a prophecy that I've read a few hundred times. I know that you know this passage by heart. But, I'd ask you to read it one more time .... “Then after I have poured out my rains again, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions. In those days, I will pour out my Spirit even on servants, men and women alike." Joel 2:28-29 (New Living Translation) While meditating on the verse, I sensed the Holy Spirit tell...
