This Is Your Captain Speaking
Three weeks ago, Vickie and I had the privilege of ministering a Holy Spirit Rally in Wauchula, Florida. Early that Sunday morning, I had an interruption to my sleep that I will never forget. Sometime around what I believe was 4 AM, I was awakened by a voice in my spirit that said, "This is your Captain speaking. I want to let you know that I have turned off the fasten your seatbelt sign. You can now feel free to move about the cabin." Believe me when I write that I had not been dreaming about flying. With us flying from time to time to minister in churches outside of Florida, I have heard...
The Day of Pentecost 2022
As I write this post, it is Saturday, June 11, six days after we as a Church celebrated the Father sending the Holy Spirit to the 120 individuals gathered in the upper room some 2,000 years ago. On this Pentecost Sunday last weekend, Vickie and I had the privilege of ministering in two of the most incredible South Florida churches. As I preached the two entirely different sermons, one in the morning in West Palm Beach and the other that afternoon in Palm Springs, the Holy Spirit made His presence undeniably known. It was a Sunday that I will never ever forget. It was the Day of Pentecost...
God’s Power on Display
Some might ask why I focus so much on God's wonder-working power. I could give a true but smart-alec reply that I do so because the majority of the church ignores it. But, you know me. People call me Sweet William because I wouldn't stoop to giving smart-alec answers. Oh, okay. Occasionally, I do. Oh, my conscience is bothering me. Too often I do. Concerning God's wonder-working power, let me share this powerful statement that I read some time ago and recently memorized. If you are in an upcoming Holy Spirit Rally, I am confident that you will hear it quoted in a sermon. "It is the...
This You Need to Know
I feel that it is only right that I share this warning with those passionately wanting to move with the Holy Spirit. Having this passion isn't for the faint of heart. While so, so, so many believers will rally and walk alongside you in this New Testament pursuit of the Holy Spirit, there will be those who, because of tradition and/or denominational dogmas, will misunderstand and criticize your heart and actions. In fact, let me be even bolder in this warning. You may be the recipient of much disdain and scorn. These reactions aren't new. Consider these examples. Acts 4:1-3 (King James...
Stand!
Let me start off with a statement that I have found to be so true. Here it is. Too often, we miss the supernatural because we are looking for the spectacular. I was reminded of this again when I read this verse. "But Peter, standing up with the eleven..." Acts 2:14 I know that you are probably wondering where the supernatural is mentioned in this verse. It's found in the words "Peter, standing up". To many, the words are overlooked because they seem to be so insignificant. Nothing spectacular can be found. But, for those with spiritual eyes, the supernatural is hiding in plain sight. Let me...
