Spirit to Spirit
Before I share the blog post, let me tell you about my day today. It's been WONDERFUL. Here's why. Earlier today, I scheduled my DVR to record a whole lot of classic war movies during this Memorial Day Weekend. You know that the movies are going to be great because they are black and white movies produced in the 1940s and 1950s and especially great because they have the likes of John Wayne, Gary Cooper, William Holden, and Gregory Peck acting in them. A spiritual day? Well, maybe. Who knows, Jesus may be a John Wayne fan! And now, the blog post. From time to time, there are those who will...
Kids Are People Too!
I wrote in a recent Billy Burns Ministries newsletter that I am passionately working on getting six long overdue and much-needed books written and published. One of the three books that I am writing specifically for children is tentatively titled Kids Who Know Their God based on Daniel 11:32. "...but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits." (New King James Version) Allow me to place an emphasis on just one word of God's declaration. "...but the PEOPLE who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits." (New King James Version) This is what...
A Bunch of Yeps!
Just a quick thought. For those questioning the need for believers (that's people like you and me) living in 2023 (again, that's people like you and me) to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, let me remind you of the command that Jesus issued to His followers (again and again once more, that's people like you and me). "Listen carefully: I am sending the Promise of My Father [the Holy Spirit] upon you; but you are to remain in the city [of Jerusalem] until you are clothed (fully equipped) with power from on high." Luke 24:49 (Amplified Bible) "While being together and eating with them, He...
Dilated!
A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege to teach a one-day seminar that I titled "The Holy Spirit in the Now". As often happens while I am teaching, the Holy Spirit surprised me with something totally unexpected. While teaching what I had prepared, a sentence came out of my mouth that did a number on my brain. The words were "The Holy Spirit is the Spiritual Eye Dilater". I knew instantly that this sentence didn't originate with me. I was so taken aback that I repeated the sentence to let it sink into my spirit. It was in this sentence that the Holy Spirit was given a brand new name, one...
Fingerprints
Parents and grandparents, this question is just for you. The question - What can you expect when you combine young children, a sliding glass door, and a lanai (back porch)? The answer - FINGERPRINTS and I mean a LOT of FINGERPRINTS. (And every parent/grandparent will say "amen", right?) You know that you know that you know that their multiple trips in and out of your house through the sliding glass door will provide an enormous supply of undeniable evidence of their visit to your home. A couple of weeks ago, I was preparing to minister at a Holy Spirit Rally in Sebring, Florida when I heard...
