Thank God for the Holy Ghost!
I have often thought about posting a blog that would start off with the words, "Thank God for the Holy Ghost" and then repeat that sentence over and over again two or three dozen times. Nothing more would need to be added to these powerful, powerful words. In our Holy Spirit Rallies, I have repeatedly seen their power when I have said them over and over and over again and then witnessed the people respond to the Holy Spirit's tangible presence. Why do I say these words? (NOTE: stop reading right now if you are in a place that won't allow you to show emotion!) It is because the Holy Spirit is...
Answering Questions About Speaking in Other Tongues – Part 4
As a young teenager, I heard Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart declare on his ministry television broadcast, "Salvation is God's greatest gift to the world while the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is His greatest gift to the Church." While every believer glady accepts the first part of Brother Swaggart's statement, many struggle with the subject of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit especially in the area of praying or speaking in other tongues. With that in mind, I want to use this fourth blog post to answer one final question often posed by many Jesus-loving believers about this subject. Hopefully, the...
Answering Questions About Speaking in Other Tongues – Part 3
This one thing I know to be true ... when writing the Bible, God wasn't working with a publisher that demanded a certain word count before publishing the Book. Not one single word found in the Bible is a space-filler. With certainty, we know that God did not fill His Book with needless, unnecessary statements.

Jesus' directive for believers to "speak with new tongues" (Mark 16:17) wasn't a...
YOUR City, YOUR Church, THIS Year
If you have ever attended one of our Ignite the Supernatural Conferences or Holy Spirit Rallies or follow my weekly blog, you won't be a stranger to the statement "TODAY is the day of the Holy Ghost". I love making this statement because TODAY is truly His day. The Book of Acts Holy Ghost is still alive and active, ready to demonstrate His might and power in TODAY's believers and TODAY's church. Vickie and I love working together with the Holy Spirit. Our passion is to open the door for Him to supernaturally minister all across our land. We want to see believers baptized in the Holy Spirit...
Answering Questions About Speaking in Other Tongues – Part 2
As a student of the Word, you know that the apostle Paul wrote letters to a troubled Corinthian church to bring clarity and understanding to areas where certain teachings had brought much confusion and harm to the Body of Christ. One of those areas of confusion concerned speaking/praying in other tongues. In bringing clarity to this issue, it is important to note that Paul wrote "I would that ye all spake with tongues ..." (1 Corinthians 14:5). Then, just a few sentences further down, Paul wrote "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all." (1 Corinthians 14:18). While almost...
