The Outpouring
If you have attended any of our Holy Spirit Rallies, you have heard me declare that I wholeheartedly believe that there is one last great outpouring of God's Spirit upon His church. With that in mind, I have one simple and yet profound statement to share... "No true revival has ever occurred simply because people sought revival. They were birthed when people sought Him." ~Tommy Tenney The God Chasers: Pursuing the Lover of Your Soul Now, I have three simple and yet profound questions to ask... If not you, then who? If not now, then when? If not here, then where? One simple and yet profound...
A Testimony
It happened again this week...the Holy Spirit spoke, I obeyed, and well, I am a blessed man. Here's the testimony. First, you need to know the background for the testimony coming from what was at the time a ticked-off Billy Burns. This was and is my rant - I have had my fill of companies that raise their rates only to raise their rates again a few months later and then raise their rates again a few months later. To me, so many companies today are singing the lyrics of a 1970s Eagles song - "Take it to the limit, one more time". (Contrary to some people's opinion, I do know a few songs that...
New Testament Normal
This is a once-in-a-lifetime blog post. I'm going to share a powerful point in exactly one hundred words. As a child, I often heard my pastor, B.B. Hankins (you can tell that he was a Texan because the B.B. stood for Billy Bob) say, "If anyone should ask if you pray in other tongues, respond with a 'you mean you don't?'" In other words, Pastor Hankins was showing that throughout the Book of Acts, it was normal and expected for New Testament believers to pray in other tongues. Anything less would be considered abnormal Christianity. Let's be New Testament normal!
Declarations for 2024
I know that you already know this about me but I will share it anyway. One of the greatest passions of my life is to work together with the Holy Spirit for this generation. I love each and every time that I write or say "TODAY is the day of the Holy Ghost!". To me, these are what I call door-opening words to ignite His involvement in my personal life and movement in our Holy Spirit Rallies and Ignite and Unite Conferences. This is truly His day. One of the many things for which I love to declare TODAY is the day of the Holy Ghost is today's children's ministry. In churches all across...
The 2023 Faves
If I were to receive a last-minute invitation to teach in one or more conference workshops or preach in one or more church services and only given my Bible and a tablet containing this year’s blog posts to use as my teaching/preaching notes, which would be my go-to blog posts? In other words, which are my two-thumbs-up favorites (three-thumbs-up if I had three hands)? I’ll be honest. It is so, so challenging to look through this year's 51 posts and narrow it down to just five blog posts. Hopefully, my faves will become your faves. I've got my thumbs ready, how about you? It Happened in...
