Praying in the Spirit Illustrations – Part 18
Of all of the types of blog posts that I write, without question, the Praying in the Spirit Illustrations posts are among my favorites. Why? Because I believe that each and every illustration is providing a much-needed, simple, understandable, visible help to communicate the importance of praying in the Spirit. This brings us to illustration number eighteen. Once again, I will give a brief, skeletal overview of the illustration. Then, with the Holy Spirit’s help, you can personalize and modify the illustration to become a powerful teaching tool. The Importance of Praying in Other Tongues...
Let’s Get Personal
In reading through the Bible, there are many, many promises that are what I call "general" promises. In other words, they are "everybody" promises. We see these with the scriptures that use words like "whosoever", "all" and "every one".

I'm referring to some of my favorite posts from my Billy Burns Ministries Facebook page. Three weeks ago, I shared a few of the Holy Spirit Realities that appear each Tuesday.

Last week, I shared a compilation of what I call Billyisms (things that only my brain would think of) that I post each Wednesday. This week, I want to share...
Facebook Billyisms – A Compilation

First, a couple of weeks ago, I shared a few of the Holy Spirit Realities posts that are on the ministry Facebook page each Tuesday. Last week, I shared a few of the Benefits of Praying in Other Tongues posts which appear each Thursday. This week, I want to share a few of the Billyisms that I have posted over the past few months.
