Every Christian has the Holy Spirit, but not every Christian is filled with the Holy Spirit. It is no more possible for your life to be 100% full of the Holy Spirit, all the time, as it is to maintain 100% battery charge on your phone, tablet, or laptop computer. Just as we daily recharge our electronic devices, we want to daily be refilled with the Holy Spirit.  Read More

The Holy Spirit is good at many things, and one of them is obedience. The Holy Spirit has never disobeyed God the Father, and He is the One who enables us to obey Him, also. The Holy Spirit leads us to obedience, and obedience leads us to receive more of the Holy Spirit.   Read More

Yesterday I mentioned that being kingdom ready is being return ready. The parable of the 10 virgins in Matthew 25:1-13 shows us 5 wise virgins and 5 foolish virgins, and ultimately they are foolish because they aren’t prepared to meet the bridegroom, Christ.  Read More

As you learn to pray, you want to get to know the Holy Spirit. Not only is He a praying Spirit, He is a loving Spirit who loves to activate God’s love in us.  Read More

The Pharisees were asking Jesus when the Kingdom of God would come and he answered them by telling them that the kingdom of God was among them. I love this! The Kingdom is among us. The kingdom is Emmanuel, God dwelling in our midst. That is being kingdom ready.   Read More

None of us know how to pray properly. No matter who you are or how long you’ve been a Christian, you still need help from the Holy Spirit. Once we acknowledge our prayerlessness, God wants us quickly to accept the help of the praying Holy Spirit.  Read More

This is one of my favorite verses in the Bible. It is repeated many times throughout scripture. This verse is what Jehoshaphat led his worshipers to declare after praying to the Lord, “O Lord, God of our ancestors, you alone are the God who is in heaven.  Read More

If you want to learn to pray, you want to get to know the Holy Spirit. No one knows how to pray better than the Holy Spirit. To be full of prayer, you need to be full of the Holy Spirit.  Read More

To be kingdom ready, we must be dressed appropriately. We must have the armor of God in place to withstand the evil in our world today. We do not belong to this world. We belong to the kingdom of God and we are his children.   Read More

On this day, January 22, in the Year of our Lord 1995, the fire of God’s manifest presence filled Coggin Avenue Baptist Church in Brownwood, Texas. This movement of the Holy Spirit spilled over to nearby Howard Payne University and far beyond.  Read More

The third stronghold that I have been able to observe in many Hispanic and other cultures is “machismo” (a forceful, prideful, domineering form of masculinity). This idea manifests verbally, physically, and emotionally.   Read More

Are you someone who trembles at God’s word?  Read More

The second spiritual stronghold that plagues many churches is that “youth are the future of the Church.” Let’s remember that spiritual strongholds are patterns of thought that sound logical, but that are not biblical and are based on a lie.  Read More

The Bible may be 2,000 years old, but it has not lost its razor sharp edge. The Bible is more relevant than headline news and more personal than a text message from your best friend.  Read More

When Jeremiah receives an assignment from God to establish His Kingdom over the other kingdoms and nations, he declares that it is necessary to uproot, destroy, ruin, and tear down before being able to build and plant. In other words, he specifies the need for a demolition process before God’s Kingdom can be built and planted.  Read More

God not only wants you to read the Bible, He wants to encounter you in your daily Bible reading.  Read More

No one wants to live knowing that they have an enemy. Since we were young, we have all been taught to be kind to everyone. Well, unfortunately, we have an adversary who is at work to drag us down. It is his primary goal to do anything and everything to cause our faith to shrink. As we seek the Kingdom of God and specifically the return of the King, our enemy is doing all he can to pull us down.  Read More

If you want a word from God, read the Bible. We are rapidly becoming a generation in danger of becoming so focused on prophetic Words from God that we are in danger of neglecting Scripture.  Read More

We have all been exposed to various kingdoms, but the Kingdom of God is not a fantasy like Mickey Mouse and the Magic Kingdom. It’s also not political, like the United Kingdom. As a matter of fact, the Kingdom of God is unlike any other kingdom.  Read More
