Just Kids?

Just Kids?

I have a question for you. Why do we place age restrictions where God doesn't? Sadly, many adults and church leaders are guilty of having a condescending "just kids" mentality and placing unscriptural boundaries for what God can and cannot do in and through children. Consider these facts backed by the Word of God. Your children can and should: (All scriptures are shared from the New Century Version.) Be born again. Acts 16:31 "They said to him, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved—you and all the people in your house.” The word "all" literally means all - adults, teens, and...

Wait!

Wait!

Can I take just 3 or 4 minutes of your time and ask this one question? Here it is. How important was it to Jesus for His followers to be baptized with His Holy Spirit? The answer is found in this verse. "And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me." Acts 1:4 I will tell you upfront that my answer is really simple, in fact, too simple. And yet, I don't know if I have ever heard or read this question answered in the way that I am about to share. Believe it or...

Anthill Kicking Anointing, Seriously? Yep. It's in the Bible. For real? Double yep! You’ve never noticed it? I promise that it is there in plain sight as you read the four gospels and the Book of Acts In order to explain this Anthill Kicking Anointing, I need to take you back to the days of my childhood when our yard was often filled with huge unwanted anthills. Call me crazy, but to me, it was pure dee old fun (forgive me for talkin' southern) to find and then annihilate these anthills. I knew that one swift kick would totally disrupt the ant's world and cause them to move on to someone...

What’s Happened to the Wonder?

What’s Happened to the Wonder?

In reading Luke's account of the workings of the Holy Spirit in the Book of Acts, I often see the Holy Spirit's actions causing people to wonder, marvel, and be amazed. For example, in writing of the miracle at the gate called Beautiful, Luke recorded... "And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him." Acts 3:10 Let me shed more light on this verse by adding insights gained from reading other translations. "...and they were filled with wonder and amazement and were...

It Makes You Say “Hmmm”

It Makes You Say “Hmmm”

Lately, the Lord has really been dealing with my heart about what His Word has to say about the subject of divine healing. I'm not talking about just a little urge from the Lord here and there. I'm talking about a major stirring, the kind that wakes up a person at night to ponder and meditate upon His insights. I call these times "hmmm" moments. I know that you know exactly what I am talking about. Getting a nighttime hmmm is generally the kind that to me is the most impactful. These are just too good to keep to myself. Here are just a few divine healing hmmms that have interrupted my sleep...
