My Declaration for 2020
Thank God for all that was accomplished in 2019. God outdid Himself to us, for us, and through us in so, so many ways. I know that you can probably echo those same words of thanksgiving for your life, family, and ministry. In looking at 2020, let me share this powerful verse ... "You will also decide and decree a thing, and it will be established for you;And the light [of God's favor] will shine upon you."Job 22:28 (Amplified Bible) Just typing the words of this verse stirs up an excitement and anticipation in my heart. These aren't my words. I have determined and established in my heart...
A Few of My 2019 Favorites
This morning while getting dressed to go to church, I watched the television program CBS Sunday Morning. With this being the last Sunday of the year, almost the entire program was dedicated to highlights from the past twelve months. Not to be outdone by CBS, I too want to do some recapping. With this being the final blog post of the year, I want to look back at 2019 and share a few of my favorite blog and Billy Burns Ministries Facebook posts. Favorite Blog Posts: He's The "Five W" Holy Spirit - http://bit.ly/2WQdfoz "Hankinsisms" - Wisdom from Pastor B.B. Hankins - http://bit.ly/387SfQQ...
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.

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....
