The Holy Spirit on Assignment – Part 2
Confession time ... one of my greatest frustrations each week is that I want to communicate my passion for the Holy Spirit and help enable children's ministry leaders to know Him and flow together with Him and yet I know that people's reading capacity can't keep up with the level of my passion. I could write pages and pages each week and just scratch the surface of what I want to communicate. I guess that my only recourse is to get to work on the books that I have hidden inside of me. I would LOVE to have one or two published by the 2009 Ignite the Supernatural Conference in February.I...
The Holy Spirit on Assignment – Part 1
As I travel and teach in our Ignite & Unite Conferences, I LOVE teaching about working together with the Holy Spirit and seeing children's ministry workers begin to understand how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit. For far too long, we haven't understood that the Holy Spirit was sent to this earth with an assignment. He isn't just biding time until Jesus returns. This Paraclete (the One who has been assigned to walk alongside us) is looking for opportunities to manifest His presence and power in us and through us. He has been assigned to each and every one of us to enable us to fulfill our...
Lord, Send Revival
Let me set the scene ... > The nation's focus centered on its bleak economy after a stock market crash. > The failure of several banks and transportation systems pointed towards an economic meltdown. > Living conditions were deteriorating. > Unemployment was rampant. > Poverty was everywhere. > The political scene was in turmoil. Does it sound like current headlines from the USA Today newspaper? The list shown above actually reflected America's headlines in the fall of 1857. What was the answer to virtual collapse of a nation? One man named Jeremiah Lanphier began to pray....
The Prerequisite of Revival
I stumbled across a quote that is so timely for those pursuing a move of God. It would be good to copy, paste, and send this on to fellow Igniters. Robert Sample wrote in an article entitled "Effective Preaching" in The Presbyterian and Reformed Review in April 1897: "The great want of today is a holier ministry. We do not need more stalwart polemics (the art or practice of arguing passionately and strongly for or against something), more mighty apologists, or preachers who compass a wider range of natural knowledge, important as these are; but men of God who bring the atmosphere of heaven...
A Suggestion
After reading through my 60+ blog entries you will find that 90% are my insights about revival and flowing in the supernatural, 5% tell of upcoming conferences, and 5% are pictures and updates about the Burns family.This week, allow me to digress from my usual format and use this entry to make a suggestion. If you have not done so, purchase and read Rick Renner's The Dynamic Duo: The Holy Spirit and You. In reading my blogs or attending our Ignite Conferences, you've heard me say that the Holy Spirit will never be real through you until He is real to you. Renner's Dynamic Duo is one of the...
