One of the Greatest Roadblocks to a Move of God
Here is a statement that probably isn't new to too many people. Today's move of the Holy Spirit will be unlike anything that we have ever seen before. It's new. It's fresh. It's uncharted. It's unpredictable. It's beyond anything that we can imagine or even fathom. It's so revolutionary that it will cause our peanut-size brains to go tilt, tilt, tilt. In anticipation of this move of God, let me offer some precautionary words written by one of my heroes, P.C. Nelson, taken from his book The Baptism in the Holy Spirit written back in 1942. "Throw away your preconceived ideas, and become as a...
Want to See Book of Acts Results?
A person can't read through the Book of Acts without having their faith stirred and passion ignited for a great move of God's Spirit. There's just something about reading through this book that causes a desire for us to see great things happen. We all want to see today what we read about in the Book of Acts, right? But, even while there is the stirring, there are many reading this blog that can attest to the fact that this stirring can bring great frustration because we don't see the Book of Acts results. Do you want to have the results seen in the Book of Acts? It's quite simple if we will...
Where There’s a Fire …
I'll admit that I'm a conference junkie. I love going to conferences and sitting in workshop after workshop. If you've read the advertisements from many of today's conferences, you will find that the subject matter often focuses on techniques, ambiance, and communication. It's great and needed. But, as great as these topics might be, nothing can or will replace what can happen when a church is set on fire with the Holy Spirit. While creating ambiance and analyzing technique may cause a "wow" factor, the fire from heaven will create a "now" factor that causes the explosive church growth...
Your Present, The Holy Spirit’s Past
Many of this blog's readers only know me by my weekly blog postings, from hearing me speak at our Ignite the Supernatural Conferences, and/or hearing me preach in a local church service. But, there's another side of me that you don't know about. I love practical jokes. Here's a great example. Several years ago while we were still living in South Florida, Vickie flew to Texas for a few days so that she could attend a family member's wedding. My parents picked up Vickie at the Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport and took her to their home for a nice quiet night before the wedding festivities kicked in...
How to Have a Hulk Hogan Spirit Man
Are you looking for an excellent way to illustrate the value of praying daily in the Spirit? For this illustration, you will need barbells or dumbbells. We all know the value of lifting weights. (Demonstrate by lifting and lowering the barbells or dumbbells as you share these thoughts.) With full confidence, we know that with each and every lift of these heavy objects physical change is happening in our bodies. Our muscles are being strengthened. Our stamina is being stretched. Each lift of the weight will cause today's ten lift limitation to yield to a possible 12 lifts tomorrow and a...
