Expect Signs and Wonders!
Before I share the following two quotes, I need to provide a warning. Perhaps I should share this warning in capital letters to place a special emphasis on what I'm about to tell you. Here it is. DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING QUOTES JUST BEFORE GOING TO BED. If these words are fresh in your mind and spirit, it will seriously mess up your ability to sleep. I share this because of previous experiences. I guarantee that what you're about to read will cause you to want to get up and start shouting. Now that you have been forewarned, read at your own risk. The first quote is from D.W. Kerr, a...
2017 – The Year of the ALL!
God spoke through the prophet Joel promising that He would pour out His Spirit upon ALL flesh. We read in Acts 2 that in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost, the ALL is seen again. The 120 were ALL in one place and one accord. The sound of the rushing mighty wind filled ALL of the house. The cloven tongues of fire rested on EACH of them. And, they were ALL filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak in other tongues. A short time later that same day, Peter stood and prophesied that this promise is for YOU and YOUR CHILDREN and ALL those who are afar off. It is so evident that God's...
Making Room for a Supernatural Children’s/Youth Ministry
Moves of God’s Spirit don’t just happen. They come when people make room for the supernatural. Below are simple steps that will help usher in a move of God’s Spirit: Know the Holy Spirit, not just know about Him. He will never be real through you until He is real to you. The children/youth will never go where you have never been. God has called you to be a tour guide, not a travel agent. You have to learn the joy of traveling in the realm of the Spirit before you can lead your children/youth into this realm. Boldly and consistently declare who you are and where you are going. We aren’t the...
Want to Experience a Fresh Wind of the Spirit?
In recently reading Dr. Lester Sumrall's Pioneers of Faith, I discovered a statement that is so, so, so, so (should I continue?) powerful. Here it is ... "The majority of people throughout Church history never move beyond their first blessing from God - the salvation experience. When John Wesley began to preach sanctification - the cleaning up and discipline of your life - many denominations did not even look around. They said, "We've already got it all." Once the average believer gets in a groove, that is exactly where he or she dies. We are creatures of habit. We move ahead in almost...
Dr. Burns is in the House!
One of the few benefits of our medical insurance is that it provides us a "free" annual examination. I put the word free in quotation marks as a way of being sarcastic. In order to get the "free" thorough, head-to-toe examination, we have to pay our twelve monthly payments. And so, it is actually far from being free. If you will look at your calendars, you will find that today is the scheduled day for your annual ministry examination. And, here's the good part. It is absolutely FREE! How? Because I am asking for you as the Pastor or a children/student ministry leader or Sunday school...
