God Really Meant “ALL” – Part 3
In the last post, I forewarned you to wear your shouting clothes when you read this blog post. You are just a few sentences away from what I call a "glory jee to Besus" moment. That wasn't a typo. I'm just quoting the boy that got tongue-tied when he got excited in an old-fashioned Holy Spirit service. Here is an interesting Bible fact. (Surely, this will impress you.) According to the concordance on my Laridian PocketBible, the word "all" appears 4,664 times in the King James Version (3,682 in the Old Testament and 982 in the New Testament) of the Bible. No matter the Hebrew or Greek word...
God Really Meant “ALL” – Part 2
ALL! I know that this is a simple, three-letter, one-syllable, easy-to-pronounce word. You probably hear this word used multiple times in a day and never give it a second thought. That was exactly my state of mind until God put some heavenly dynamite into that word and caused it to explode in my spirit. The inward explosion happened as I was reading Joel's prophecy about an outpouring of God's Spirit. This prophecy promised ... "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams,...
God Really Meant “ALL” – Part 1
I am sure that somewhere along the way, you have heard or read that reading the Bible is like peeling an onion. As you peel the top layer of the onion, you discover a whole new layer beneath the original layer and then another layer and then another layer. The same is true about God's Word. You can read a passage of scripture and then come back later to reread the passage and discover another rich truth that you originally didn't see. You can come back again later and read that very same passage for the third time and discover another truth. Let me tell you about a recent "peeling" and...
F.Y.I. – The Holy Spirit Is Known To Cause …
WARNING: For those of you that love quiet, predictable, mausoleum-type Christianity, this blog post is definitely not for you. Do yourself a favor and bypass this blog. Come back next week for something that might be a little more palatable. For the rest of you, read on and get ready to shout. Did you know that the Holy Spirit is an extrovert? Yep! There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. He is a 100% bonified extrovert who absolutely loves to make His presence known. The book of Acts gives example after example of what can happen when He is unconstrained and allowed to show up and be...
Quotable Nuggets – Part 4
Last week, I shared eight powerful quotations from several of my spiritual heroes. I trust that these quotations were a blessing to you. Here are a few more of these quotations that I use in my teaching, preaching, and writings. "Today some churches get by without too much Holy Spirit but replace Him with general attractions." Reinhard Bonnke - Godly Gems to Impact Your Life "God's way is for the whole Church to be filled and kept filled with the same Holy Spirit which saved and healed those multitudes in New Testament times." F.F. Bosworth - Christ the Healer "The greatest proof of man's...
