The Shekinah Glory
I love to read about revival in days gone by. My library is filled with books of the great revivalists and records of their revivals.A couple of months ago, I came across a book describing facts about the Azusa Street Revival that I've never read before. In Tommy Welchel's They Told Me Their Stories, I read of accounts as seen through the eyes of people who were children and youth during the rvival. I was thrilled as I read of children and youth who lived in the Glory of God.One chapter tells of a Jean Darnall who was three-years-old at the beginning of the revival. This little girl...
Communion of the Spirit
You've read in previous blog entries the statement, the greater the intimacy, the greater the power. Allow me to emphasize this again by an example shown through the life and ministry of Smith Wigglesworth.For the past few days, I have been reading through some dozen or so books from my library about Smith Wiggleworth's life and ministry. In book after book, I read about Smith's communion with the Spirit of God. It is said of Smith that he wouldn't go thirty minutes without communing with the Holy Spirit. Oft times, it might be just a sentence or two. Nevertheless, Smith recognized that if...
Having Trouble Hearing God’s Voice?
I read of an elderly man who thought that his wife was going deaf. To test her hearing, he walked across the room, turned his back to his wife and said, "Can you hear me?" There was no response.

He thought that the hearing problem was his wife's, but it was really his problem.If you have been having trouble...
Intimacy
Here’s a simple thought for us to chew on for a few days …. Many Christians have substituted familiaritywith God for intimacy with Him.
It’s Time to Pick a Fight!
Ever since I was a child, Samson has always been one of my biblical heroes. To this day, I love reading in the book of Judges about Samson’s ability to catch his enemy off guard and totally annihilate them. Samson would seemingly appear out of nowhere and put the smackdown on the Philistines. It is evident that he loved to pick a fight with his enemy and bring about justice.Why is this man still so significant in my life? Because like Samson, I am consumed with a desire to pick a fight on my enemy. I've had it. Enough is enough. I'm not going to sit back and watch this generation keep...
