Words
If you follow our ministry on the Billy Burns Ministries Facebook page, you know that I often post quotations from men and women whose writing or preaching has impacted my life. These quotations about the Holy Spirit are taken from the writings or teachings/sermons of the likes of John Osteen, John Wesley, Norvel Hayes, Kenneth E. Hagin, Reinhard Bonnke, Oral Roberts, F.F. Bosworth, and Maria Woodworth-Etter. So, so powerful! Today, while preparing several new posts to be published on Facebook in the next few weeks, I decided that it would be beneficial to share with you a few of the words...
A Holy Spirit Ice Cream Sandwich
For the last three months, I have had the privilege to lead a weekly men's group for our church. I love leading the group for several reasons. These men are incredible, Word-loving Jesus followers. Another reason is that we meet at Chick-fil-A at 7 AM every Tuesday. Of course, this necessitates me enjoying a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit at each meeting. These meetings are one of the highlights of my week. In our meetings, we are going through The God I Never Knew written by Robert Morris. While we were discussing the gifts of the Spirit in Section 5 (chapters 13 through 16) a couple of...
Praying Divine Mysteries
Have you got three minutes? I sense a great urgency in my spirit to remind Spirit-filled believers to once again focus upon and profit from something that to many has been woefully neglected. I'm referring to a benefit that comes as we pray in other tongues. It is found in this verse. "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries." 1 Corinthians 14:2 I have shared in previous posts that while I read, study, and quote from the King James Version of the Bible, I love to use other...
Need a Miracle?
This particular post might not be for you at this exact moment, but it is definitely for somebody or a bunch of somebodies. I know that I know that I know that this is a right-now word for a reader or readers. Read these words from the apostle Paul... "And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then] He Who raisedup Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you." Romans 8:11 (Amplified Bible Classic) As I read this scripture, I had this picture rise up within me. After...
The Missing Piece
If you have raised children, at one time or another, you have heard one of your children scream to a sibling at the top of their lungs, "It's just not fair. It's mine!" And, while you and I aren't children any longer, we too can find ourselves at times looking at situations and inwardly thinking that very same thought. Come on, you know that I am right. Our minds race with thoughts of "It's unfair. I'm missing out on what should be mine." Where in the world am I going with this thought? There is a great possibility that you have, for whatever reason, been robbed of an important relationship...
