Ready for the GREATER Works?
Just a quick thought to meditate upon ... if Jesus did absolutely NO ministry before being filled with the Holy Spirit, why would you and I dare to do God's work without first following His example? The scriptures tell us that Jesus declared that He did NO ministry on His own (John 5:19), received His guidance from the Holy Spirit (Luke 4:1), and knew the Source of His anointing to minister (Luke 4:18-19). Without question, being filled with God's Spirit was the launching pad into Jesus' supernatural ministry. With that in mind, it is easy to see why Jesus just before His ascension commanded...
An Event or a Relationship?
I'm loving this new season of ministry that God has provided for us. Through the teaching in our three-hour, four-session Saturday morning Ignite & Unite Conferences, children's ministry leaders and workers are learning to know and flow with the Holy Spirit and place children on the launching pad for a journey into the realm of the Holy Spirit. Then, adults are being baptized in the Holy Spirit on Sunday mornings as I preach on It's To Your Advantage. Add to that, on most Sunday nights, many people for the very first time are gaining revelation as I teach about the importance of praying...

Dealing with the What Ifs
One question that I often hear as we travel concerns the altar calls and the response from the people in our services. I often hear pastors ask the question, "How did you do what you did today at the altar?" and they usually follow with, "You made it look so easy." I'm finding that many pastors today are reluctant to minister on the subject of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit because they are fearful that people won't respond to the altar call and those that do might not receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. Let me briefly share why this type...
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...
