My Way of Spiritual Growth
Here is a good, practical way to allow God's Word to grow in your spirit. I find that for myself, my greatest revelation from the Scriptures comes as I read a particular verse from several translations. I am blessed in the fact that over the years, I have accumulated many, many translations including several that aren't available online through sites like Gateway Bible and Bible Hub. As I read the translations, revelation comes as the difference in the wording provides a slightly distinct insight. And, here's the part that has caused my spirit to grow, so that I won't lose or forget that...
A Miracle-Working Ministry
Why do Vickie and I travel each week to different churches and preach and teach about the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the necessity of every born-again believer having a relationship with the Holy Spirit? The answer is quite simple. Without the infilling of the Holy Spirit, today's believers will never continue Jesus' earthly ministry to this present generation. How important is it that today's believers be baptized in the Holy Spirit? In reading through the Gospels, from the time that Jesus entered into the Temple as a youth until the day that He was baptized in water, we read of no...
Maximize Your Harvest!
Here's a "Billyism" that needs to be shared with EVERYONE who has the privilege to teach or preach ... an implanted seed in a prepared soil will produce the desired harvest. Isn't the harvest really what ministry is all about? This harvest is brought in as we preach and teach the Word about a subject (prepare the soil), allow the Father to talk to the heart of the individual (plant the seed), and finally provide an opportunity for the Father bring forth the fruit (harvest). Simple? Yep. Evidently too simple. So simple that one or more of these elements are often missed in Sunday school...
It Makes Me Wanna’ Dance!
I don't know about you, but I have already composed my "why" list of questions that I will ask immediately after I pass through heaven's gates. Here are just a few of my questions ... * Who in the world decided that it was okay to place calories in our foods? * Why couldn't Captain Kangaroo live forever and still be on television today? * Why is it impossible to eat Cheetos without the evidence being left on your fingers and lips? I know that these aren't probably important to you. But here's one last question that perhaps you have pondered ... * Why didn't God put this or a similar...
Want to Flow in the Gifts of the Spirit?
Quite often in our Ignite & Unite Conferences and Holy Spirit Rallies, I will ask this question, "How many of you would love to flow in the gifts of the Spirit?" Without exception, the room will be filled with those desiring to be used of God in this manner. It is so exciting to see that these believers want to be used of God to edify the Body of Christ. But when asked the follow-up question "Do you know how to flow in these gifts?" it is rare to receive an answer. It's no wonder why we aren't seeing the gifts of the Spirit in operation in our gatherings. Those in our congregations...
