I’ve Just Gotta’ Tell You
I don't know if it's just because it's the holiday season or that I didn't get much sleep last night but this blog will be unlike any other post in my 17+ years of sharing. I guess that you could guess that something is different just by looking at the blog's header. Are you ready for this? I've just gotta' tell you this story I've used in several recent Holy Spirit Rallies about a long-winded visiting preacher. If you want a teaching or spiritual insight, this particular post isn't for you. The closest that this post will come to being spiritual is found in the scripture "A merry heart...
They Did – He Did – We Do – He Does
Pardon my Southerness (is that really a word?) but I want to share a scripture that should make you more excited and happier than a tick on an old hound dog. Ready? Here it is. "And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen." Mark 16:20 Take an additional 60 seconds and read the same verse from these two translations. "They went out preaching in all directions. The Lord worked with them. He gave proof to the word by the signs that went with them." Mark 16:20 (The New Testament in Everyday English) "And the...
Here’s a First!
From time to time, I love to share powerful quotes that I've gathered from the writings and teachings of some of my spiritual heroes. For example, just a few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post sharing some of the many quotes that I've gathered through the years from my pastor, B.B. Hankins. If you missed that post, you can read it by clicking on this link - https://bit.ly/4eTLBji Back in 2021, I published two posts sharing quotes that I've gathered in my reading from Reinhold Bonnke - https://bit.ly/3x5enav and https://bit.ly/2U9PX14 Earlier in 2020, I shared this post containing quotes from...
The Long Gone, Forever Done Holy Spirit?
Perhaps like me, from time to time you've experienced someone who wants to discuss (debate) the working of the Holy Spirit today. They claim that the days of miracles ended with the passing of the last apostle. For them, just reading a few scriptures isn't enough. Fortunately, years ago, I heard or read the statement that says "A person with an experience will never be at the mercy of a person with an argument." Thankfully, in addition to having the foundation from the Bible, I know that the undeniable work of the Holy Spirit witnessed with my own eyes will never succumb to the activity of...
Wisdom and Insights from Pastor B.B. Hankins
It happened yesterday morning and then again this morning. I am talking about me quoting the man who was my pastor throughout my childhood and youth, Pastor B.B. Hankins. Like many times before, in my Dream Thieves Access group meeting yesterday, I told one of Pastor Hankins' stories that fit perfectly in our discussion about fulfilling the will of God. And then this morning while having breakfast with a friend I quoted another of his powerful statements. The wisdom and spiritual insights imparted over the years from his sermons and teachings became so much of a part of who I am. For that, I...
