The Supernatural Power of Communion – Part 4
I am so excited. After reading the previous three blog posts in this series, many of you have developed a new-found love and appreciation for Communion. Forever gone are the days of Communion being just a religious ritual or a "git 'er done and over with" five-minute tradition in a church service. There is now an understanding that partaking of the juice and wafer opens the door for the paid-in-full redemptive work of Christ to be appropriated. Hallelujah! While there is so much more that I could share about Communion, let me close with these two thoughts. First, please don't restrict...
The Supernatural Power of Communion – Part 3
I have to admit that I have been mild in the first two segments of this teaching. Now, I'm going to kick into third and then fourth gear and get really, really bold. Ready? Let me state emphatically, communion isn't a meaningless tradition or powerless ritual. No. A million, billion times no. I will go so far as to state that, for the believer, the taking of the Lord's Supper can be and should be one of the most powerful connections with God. The acknowledgement of the great sacrifice and the appropriation of the benefits of the broken body and shed blood releases God's 100% supernatural,...
The Supernatural Power of Communion – Part 2
I am convinced of this one thing ... people are hungry for the things of God. There is a cry of desperation sweeping across the land from those longing for more of God's presence. And, I confident that you are one of those individuals. In this short blog series, The Supernatural Power of Communion, I am thrilled to share what might be for many a new way of connecting with our Father. For some readers, what I am about to share won't be a new revelation. For those readers, this will serve as a good reminder. New or "seasoned", this understanding about the divine connection through communion...
The Supernatural Power of Communion – Part 1
It would be interesting to take a poll and ask fellow believers to give a list of the ways that God's supernatural, miracle-working power can be released into a believer's life. I know that they would come up with one or more of the following answers: *Prayer (1 John 5:14-15) *Prayer of Agreement (Matthew 18:19) *Prayer of Binding and Loosing (Matthew 18:18) *The Name of Jesus (Philippians 2:9-11) *Anointing with Oil (James 5:14-15) *Laying on of Hands (Mark 16:18) *Reading God's Word (Hebrews 4:12) *Hearing God's Word (Romans 10:17) *Speaking God's Word (Mark 11:24) *Anointed Prayer...
Praying in the Spirit Illustrations – Part 15
Over my almost 40 years of ministry, many Pastors, youth/children ministry leaders, and parents have told me that teaching on the subject of praying in the Spirit is such a challenge. To help ease their (and perhaps your) frustration, I am sporadically posting blog posts to share solid, biblically sound, simple-to-teach, simple-to-do illustrations to use while teaching on this all so important subject.Let’s look at the next illustration to teach about these benefits. Once again, I will give a brief, skeletal overview of the illustration. Then, with the Holy Spirit’s help, you can personalize...
