Make Your Kid’s Bible Come ALIVE!
Here's a simple and yet important suggestion to use in your ministry. In an age where many in our churches are Bible illiterate, why don't we use our ministry to change this trend. When we teach a Bible verse or tell of an event in the Bible, why don't we actually have an open Bible in our hands, and if time allows, encourage and help if necessary those in our ministry to locate your reference so that they can read along with you. To take this one bit further, let's use this opportunity to emphasize the significance and power of the Word of God by doing the following. Before the Bible is...
Did You Get Your T-shirt?
Over the years, I've been privileged to travel and see some of the wonders and sites of the world. Among the many places that my family visited when I was a child, I remember the beauty of the Grand Canyon, the uniqueness of the Petrified Forest, the majesty of the Redwood Forest, and the power displayed at Hoover Dam. During our almost 36 years of ministry, Vickie and I have been able to visit and experience the beauty of Austria, England, Scotland, Wales, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Romania, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana, Colombia, Mexico, Belize,...
Want Greater Manifestations of the Holy Spirit?
I'm thrilled by the number of people reading this blog and attending our Ignite the Supernatural Conferences. At last count, there have been individuals from 69 nations that have read at least one of the blog postings in the last 30 days. That is absolutely incredible. This information is a reminder of the fact that people all over the world are hungry and looking for a way to usher in God's presence. While I'm thrilled at the number of people reading, I recognize that those reading what I write and then taking the next step to actually do what I write is possibly a small percentage. I am...
Eliminate Your #1 Ministry Roadblock
Let me paraphrase one of the most powerful ministry tips found in the Bible and possibly eliminate your #1 ministry roadblock. In fact, I'll give it in the beloved King James language ... Thou Shalt Maximize Thy Time. I'll even give you the reference for this teaching tip. "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." Ephesians 5:16 I know that this doesn't sound spiritual, much less supernatural. But, believe me, it is. Most ministry opportunities operate within a defined time frame. In other words, your service begins and ends at specified times. And while we know these boundaries and...
The “Secret” of How I Minister
Let me let you in on the inside scoop for my ministry preparation. Ready? First, do yourself a favor and be seated. I can't assume responsibility if the following knocks you off of your feet. So, one more time, please have a seat. Are you really ready? Here's my "secret". Just before I walk onto the platform, I pull myself away and pray in the Spirit. Before I arrive at the service, I've had my time in the Word. I've studied and prepared throughout the week and now have the notes in hand. But, one more time before I walk onto the platform, I have to have that time of praying in my heavenly...
