Are You a Spiritual Streaker?

A couple of months ago, the Holy Spirit woke me up around 4 AM and gave me the strangest thought. He brought to mind a story that I wouldn't have thought of (especially in the middle of the night) in a million, billion years, The Emperor's New Clothes. The only other thing that He told me was a scripture, Luke 24:49. Being 4 AM, I didn't spend any time pondering about the childhood tale or the scripture. Surely, those thoughts could wait until a more convenient time. And wait they did. That is, until the Holy Spirit brought them back to my mind a couple of days ago.  For those unfamiliar...

Have the Gifts of the Spirit Disappeared?

Do you ever wonder why we seldom if ever see the operation of the gifts of the Spirit in today's church? Several years ago, I read a short essay penned in 1745 by the great revivalist John Wesley to the newly formed Methodist movement concerning this question.

Book of Acts Normal Christianity

Please take three minutes and read these 260 words. I believe that the Holy Spirit will take the following two powerful quotes and my brief closing thought to launch you into a Book of Acts way of life. Here are the quotes. "As long as the Church remained under the control of the Spirit, the same works continued." ~F.F. Bosworth "Christ the Healer" “In the early church, signs and wonders and miracles followed.

Why Pray in the Spirit?

For the last 11 years, I have shared week after week blog post after blog post about my love for the Holy Spirit. Many of the blog posts have focused on training and equipping those who minister to children and youth about how to work together with the Holy Spirit. I am confident that these posts have blessed these leaders and workers enabling them to raise up what I call a Joel 2 Generation of children and youth. Secondly, the biggest portion of the blog posts have been written to share insights with believers around the world about how to know and flow with the Holy Spirit. Recent blog...
