Do You Know Your Potential?
Are you ready for a major shift in your ministry? I guarantee that the shift will come when you wrap your brain around this simple yet powerful thought. Ready? Here it is. Satan is more convinced about your potential than you are. What does Satan see when you walk into your ministry opportunity each week? He sees a person that is: A child of the almighty God Blood-bought and carrying the benefits purchased by Jesus' blood Ready to deliver the all-powerful, unwavering Word of God (a Word that all of heaven is watching over to perform) Empowered and guided by the Holy Spirit Accompanied by...
Quit? Are You Kidding Me?
I know that I'm not alone when I say that there have been times when I've been tired and tired of being tired. Can you identify with this? If you've worked in any type of ministry for any length of time, it is easy to want to just give up. You've been in the same church and in the same classroom doing the same thing week after week, month after month, year after and year and you are (to use Southern vernacular) just slap worn out. It would be so easy to just turn in your resignation and make your years of ministry a distant memory. You've paid your "dues". Now, it's time for someone else to...
Let’s Make History
Some blog postings require sentence after sentence and paragraph after paragraph in order to share my thought. Here's a thought that only takes a few words. It's taken from a brief quote from one of my favorite preachers, Leonard Ravenhill. "I'm sick and tired of (only) reading about church history; let's make (some) by the grace of God!" ~ Leonard Ravenhill Powerful! History books are waiting for the exploits that God will do in and through you. Now, go start making church history by turning off your computer, connect with the Holy Spirit, and then go do something. The two...
The “Somebody” of Revival
I often have people ask me why is there no mighty move of God in their ministry. We know that it's their desire and probably the desire of everybody working alongside of them. But, reality is, it's just not there. The answer is quite simple. Let me give it to you through a simple story. This is a story about four people named EVERYBODY, SOMEBODY, NOBODY, and ANYBODY. There was an important job to be done and EVERYBODY was sure that SOMEBODY would do it. ANYBODY could have done it, but NOBODY did it. SOMEBODY got angry about that because it was EVERYBODY'S job. EVERYBODY thought...
Have You Taken the Time to …
Let me let you in on a secret. There is no such thing as a self-made man. And, if there was, I sure wouldn't want to see him. You may be so bright that your Mom called you son (pardon my humor), but you didn't get to where you are today by yourself. There have been many, many people that have taught you, corrected you, loved on you when others had pushed you aside, toughened you up, challenged your small-mindedness, spoke as a mouthpiece for God to you, wept with you, rejoiced with you, reminded you of your "humanness" (in other words, there is a God and you aren't Him), etc. God has placed...
