Fa-La-La-La-La Y’all!
It's been said that you can take a Texan out of Texas but you can't take Texas out of a Texan. With that being said, I just can’t send out a Christmas greeting to those who week after week read the blog posts without adding a little of what I call “Texanese”. So, with that in mind, here goes the greeting in my native Texas dialect. Paypul, ah shore kaynt keep kwite bout dis. Ittz tom tuh pardy. Krissmuz reminz uhs dat Godz shore powrfel. Hay’s uh murcal wurkin God. And, Hay’s upta sumpin’ dat’s defnutly speshul and iz gunna put ah smahl on yore face. Git reddy fer a reeyul big heapin helpin...
A Move of God
In E.G. Carre's Praying Hyde, Apostle of Prayer, there is a quote by Charles Finney that says “A revival is no more a miracle than a crop of wheat.” In other words, moves of God don't just happen. There is a preparation on man's part in order to see the harvest. In 2014, Vickie and I left a ministry position in a church so that we can travel from church to church to initiate the “man part” of a move of God. I love to call our “man part” as being a door opener for the Holy Spirit. The results of our Holy Spirit Rallies and Ignite & Unite Conferences is that people are touched by God's...
Hold On To Your Socks!
I don't know whether or not this happens to you, but at times, I can read a book and within hours, most of what I've read has escaped my memory. So, some time ago, I took steps to keep this from robbing me of what I've read. First of all, I began to highlight the thoughts and add annotations in the side margins. And then I went one step further. I created an Excel spreadsheet file on my computer and began to enter those quotations for future reference. For those of you who follow my Billy Burns Ministries page on Facebook, you see these quotations each Monday....
The Demystified Holy Spirit
I'm going to try something totally new in this blog post. For the first time in the 12+ year history of writing this blog, I am simply going to give the title, a brief explanation of the subject, the scripture reference, a set of four questions drawn from the scripture reference, and then leave it to the Holy Spirit to use these questions to make Himself known in your life in a fresh, new way. TITLE: The Demystified Holy Spirit BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE SUBJECT: The 19:2 Déjà vu Epidemic has invaded much of today's Church. The 19:2 refers to a situation found in Acts 19:2 that showed a group...
“Hankinsisms” – Wisdom from Pastor B.B. Hankins
Whoa ... stop ... alright already. I am quite sure that there are some readers that have pulled out the dictionary to look up the word "Hankinsisms" and are ready to correct my word choice. For all of you grammarians, I know that "Hankinsisms" isn't an actual word ... or, is it? Is there a single word that could better describe the unique, profound wisdom shared each week in Pastor B.B.'s sermons and teachings? If you have followed this blog for any length of time, the name Pastor Billy Bob (B.B.) Hankins is no stranger to you. He was the pastor of the Gulf Coast Christian Center in West...
