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...
Be His Representative
As most of you know, after I graduated from Bible college back in 1979, Vickie and I traveled for 10 years as children's evangelists conducting what was then called Kid's Crusades. For some 45 to 48 weeks a year, we would travel from church to church and use family-friendly ministry tools to share the gospel. Then, in 1989 Vickie and I began the next phase of ministry and for 25 years served as children's pastors at an incredible church in South Florida. So, as you can see, ministering to children is forever engrained in our hearts. To me (and Jesus) ministry to children couldn't, shouldn't,...
Heaven’s Insights Communicator
One of the greatest joys in life that I am experiencing right now is traveling and ministering in our Holy Spirit Rallies and the Jesus the Healer Rallies. (The second greatest joy is talking about our seven wonderful, marvelous, incredible, brilliant, adorable, Nana and Papa-loving grandkids but I will save that for a future post.) It appears that many in these meetings are hearing for the first time that Jesus is still the Baptizer in the Holy Spirit and the Great Physician. And, the exciting thing is that as they hear these truths, they respond, Jesus responds, and they leave the service...
The Backstory
If you have read this blog post for any period of time and/or you have been in one of our Holy Spirit Rallies or Jesus the Healer Rallies, the declaration "TODAY is the day of the Holy Ghost" is familiar to you. With that being said, because Vickie and I are constantly meeting new people in our meetings and adding readership to the blog, many "newbies" aren't familiar with the importance and background of this declaration. Here's the backstory. One Sunday morning while Vickie and I were children’s pastors in South Florida, we had an incredible time of praise and worship with our children....
