Jesus Is …
I recently attended a meeting where Reinhard Bonnke ministered. It was so, so, so powerful. In his sermon, Reinhard shared a thought that I immediately knew that I needed to share with you. After reading this sentence, I'm sure that you will want to write it in the back of your Bible, make it a screensaver for your computer, posted it on index cards around your home and office, and ... well, you get the idea. Here is the statement ... "Jesus can only be what we preach Him to be." ~Reinhard Bonnke Isn't this a powerful statement? If you want to see people born again, then preach Jesus as the...
Put On Your Shoutin’ Clothes!
I will tell you up front that this blog post comes with a warning. If you are reading this while sitting amongst a group of people, please close this post and come back to it when you won't embarrass yourself because of excessive emotionalism. If your spirit is even remotely sensitive to the Holy Spirit, the following quote will cause what old time Pentecostals called a Holy Ghost runaway causing you to leap to your feet and display your joy and excitement.

If it is a secret, then why would I want you to tell people? Because, not knowing this truth has brought many Believers much confusion and even harm.

From time to time, I hear people make statements like, "I just can't figure out what God wants me to do" or "I don't know what God's will is in the situation". It's a pretty common...

Two Powerful Quotes
Every now and then, I discover a sentence or paragraph in a book that causes an explosion in my spirit. It's as though the black ink used to print the text has miraculously turned into a red letter, "thus-saith-the-Lord" word to me. I experienced this in a book that I'm reading right now In Light of Eternity, the Life of Leonard Ravenhill written by Mack Tomlinson. Here are a couple of quotes that will cause you to stop to meditate upon their significance and then hopefully write into your journal. "I’m believing that I’m going to see a Pentecost that will out-Pentecost Pentecost." A little...
