Declaring the Will of God
I felt impressed to share a few declarations to decree over your children, be it your personal children or grandchildren or those sitting in your children's ministry. These powerful declarations expressing the will of God will cause much to happen! (Job 22:28). I challenge you to boldly declare each and every day... My children shall be head-over-heels in love with Jesus and know Him as their personal Savior and Lord. Satan cannot and will not have my children. My children won't have to go through hell to get to heaven. At an early age, they will begin an intimate, deep relationship with...
A Confession
They say that confession is good for the soul. Here's my confession (a man's version with MANY details left out!). I read a book that was intended to be a gift for a friend before I gave it to him. Whew. Telling the truth feels good as I get it off of my chest. Does my action make me to be: A downright, penny-pinching cheapskate? Or, to be nicer, a person that is both wise and frugal? Or, the best of all, a person that wanted to save the money so that I can later spend it on Vickie? And your answer would be? The book that I double-dibbed (I like that term) and read before I gave it as a...
It Happened Again
As I sit down at the computer this morning, I'll confess that I am one tired man. How tired? I'm so tired that I believe that the dirt underneath my toenails is begging my body to go back to bed. You see, we returned home in Lakeland, Florida yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon from four very full, powerful days of ministry at Daystar Family Church in Northport (Tuscaloosa), Alabama. And, as great and powerful as the services might have been, this morning I feel as though I might be moving about as fast as a three-legged turtle. Before I tell you about the ministry in Alabama, let me brag on God...
Where’s the Fire?
I know that you have probably read and possibly taught/preached the story found in 1 Kings 18 about Elijah challenging the prophets of Baal to a showdown of the gods on Mount Carmel. In this showdown, we see that both Elijah and the prophets of Baal knew how to build altars. They both knew how to gather the rocks, where to place rock upon rock, and how to use the tools necessary to make it happen. Am I right? To those in this battle of the gods, it didn't take rock(et) science (pardon the Burns humor) to build the altars. I am quite sure that both camps had built many altars in the past and...
Dependent Upon the Holy Spirit in 2022 – Part 3
Try as I may, I did my very best to get all of what I wanted to share into just two posts about my desperation to become more and more dependent on the Holy Spirit. To use a phrase that I used to say as a little boy, honest injun, it just wasn't possible. But this is my resolve. No matter how long my list might be, no matter how much that I want to continue, with this post I promise, promise, promise to end my list of reasons why this increased dependency is so critically important. 11. This dependency supernaturally downloads and magnifies heaven's love in and through me."...the love of God...
