Where Are the Gifts of the Spirit?
Allow me to ask this one simple yet important question. Why aren't we seeing the gifts of the Spirit listed by Paul in 1 Corinthians 12 operating in and through today's believers? Well, make that two questions. Where are the gifts of the Spirit? In our Holy Spirit Rallies, I often see surprised and questioning looks on people's faces when these gifts begin to flow. More than once, I have had people come up after the service to inform me that it has been years since they have seen any gifts of the Spirit operate in their church. Perhaps you are one of those people that would make the same...
Lose Your Mumble!
This is hot off of the press. Earlier this morning, I had this revelation. Actually, I was lying asleep in bed when I heard the words "being baptized in the Holy Spirit will take the mumble out of your voice". I'll admit, when I heard those words, there was no way on earth to stay asleep. (Vickie, if I'm cranky today from apparent sleep deprivation, I have a legitimate excuse!) Those words exploded in my spirit. Let me share the "explosion". After hearing these powerful words, I saw a New Testament story that you know all too well. When Simon Peter was standing in the outer courtyard as...
A Move of the Spirit for THIS Generation
While walking one morning last week, I listened to a teaching by Kenneth E. Hagin in which he shared the following statement: "There is a move of the Spirit that will be lost to this generation unless you teach them." Let me briefly share the significance of this powerful statement. In 2014, Vickie and I resigned from a ministry position in a tremendous South Florida church to pursue a new direction of ministry. This change wasn't anything that I had sought after. We were established in a church that we dearly loved and they in turn dearly loved us. We had been on staff for 25 great years....
My Passion
If you have attended any of our Holy Spirit Rallies or Ignite & Unite Conferences, you will find that I preach and teach solely on one subject, the Holy Spirit. When pastors call to ask us to minister at their church and ask about what I minister on, I usually reply "the platform" and then quickly follow up with the real answer "the Holy Spirit". I always tell them that if they want another subject they need to find another minister. Working together with the Holy Spirit for this generation is our passion and assignment. Sure, like any other minister, I can preach on almost any subject,...
An Experience or a Relationship?
In our recent Holy Spirit Rallies, I have sensed a strong prompting as I am preaching to spend time asking the question "Do you have an experience or a relationship with the Holy Spirit?". I believe that this is one of the most important questions that I can ask believers today. Here is what I find to be true. Many people today might be able to provide a date and occasion telling when they were baptized in the Holy Spirit. For some, their being baptized in the Holy Spirit might have been at a crusade or revival service back in xxxx. For others, this download from heaven might have happened...
