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...
Bold and Even Bolder!
Here's a little bit of information about myself. I am absolutely horrible when it comes to reading through the Bible in a year. It's the truth. In my daily reading, if I discover a spiritual nugget, I park my attention there. Forget about a reading plan. I gladly forfeit gaining the Bible Reading Certificate at the end of the year. Here's my Bible modus operandi. When I see a powerful truth, I will begin to look at that verse or passage from different translations. I've learned over the years that each translation sheds a little different light on a word or phrase which adds to its richness....
God’s Spiritual Fitness Plan
Here's a truth that shouldn't come as a major surprise. You can be a card-carrying member of one of America's most popular fitness gyms LA Fitness and consistently gain massive amounts of weight and develop many preventable diseases. LA Fitnessers (this may not be the correct title for the members of LA Fitness but it sure sounds good), is this possible? You know that it is. How? By just being a card-carrying member and not engaging in the exercises in the gym. The desired weight loss and bodybuilding results are achieved only through the constant discipline to use the provided equipment to...
