Immeasurable Power at Your Beckon Call
Here's an important reminder straight from the Book of Books ... "Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope." Ephesians 3:20 (New Living Translation) Please tell me that you aren't sitting down any longer. Read it again. Are you still seated? If so, something must be drastically wrong with you. This twenty-nine word sentence is enough to make a person leap to their feet and get excited. Why? It shares that there is a gigantic possibility that the person reading this blog post can connect with...
Holy Spirit Interruptions
Here is a simple and yet powerful truth that should be posted around your home and office ... "The Holy Spirit can accomplish more in 5 minutes than you can accomplish in a lifetime." I seriously doubt that anyone reading this blog post would challenge the statement. You'd be a fool to argue against the statement, right? But, if the truth be known, there are many reading this blog post that have a head-knowledge that this is true and have mentally accepted it but in their week-to-week ministry, their actions prove that they really believe otherwise. What am I talking about? Are you sitting...
How Long Has It Been?
If you were anywhere in the great state of Texas during the 1970's and 1980's, you will readily recognize this tag line from the Wolf Brand Chili advertising campaigns ... "Neighbor, how long has it been since you had a big, thick, steaming bowl of Wolf Brand Chili? Well, that's too long!" To us Texans, that slogan ranks up there with M&M's ("It melts in your mouth and not in your hands."), Tony the Tiger's Kellogg's Frosted Flakes ("They're Grrrreat!"), Folgers Coffee ("The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup!"), and KFC's ("It's Finger Lickin' Good."). To "borrow" from the...
Ready to Raze Hell!
It's all too easy to get into a rut in anything that you do, be it in work, relationships, hobbies, and ministry. You'll have to admit that you've either been in a rut in the past or may be in one right now. I know because I've been there and got and worn the t-shirt. When you are in this rut mentality and/or spiritually, you just go through the motions with little effort and little concern about the ramifications of your actions or lack of actions. Consequently, nothing of value is accomplished. Here's a quick reminder to get you back on course for ministry. I will declare with no...
Is Being Filled with the Holy Spirit REALLY a Priority?
Whether we will admit this to be true or not, the facts are the facts. In many of our Pentecostal/charismatic churches (and the various ministries within the churches), few of the people are Spirit-baptized. I would venture to say that extremely few boys and girls in our Sunday school classes and children's churches have been given the opportunity to be filled with the Spirit. The children in our children's churches and youth in our student ministries that are Spirit-baptized generally are filled with the Spirit at a Kid's/Youth Camp and then return back home never to hear of the Holy Spirit...
