The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a history-changing event for our nation and for the church. “Greater love has no one than this, to lay down one’s life for his friends” I have seen many conflicting opinions on social media. Some say Charlie wasn’t a martyr, others that it was a political assassination. Our opinions […]
It was exactly one year ago that the Holy Spirit spoke to me. I was on an airplane, flying to Nashville to attend a Kidmin Conference with 3,000 people. It was an excellent conference, but it wasn’t a spirit-filled conference. I asked the Lord, “How come there aren’t any Spirit-Filled Kidmin conferences?” He spoke to […]
After a prolonged period of declining attendance, young people are returning to the church in greater numbers than ever before. The harvest is ripe. Kids, teens, and young adults are hungry for God. Are you ready for the harvest? Are you ready to make some disciples? One of the primary ways that we need to […]
It’s hard to believe that the Supernatural Children’s Ministry Conference is only two weeks away. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence that we are hosting this conference at this time. The Holy Spirit is moving among Generation Z. This past weekend, many churches experienced Easter like numbers with many first-time visitors in attendance. Young people […]
When I heard about the shooting of Charlie Kirk, I was in shock. The first thing I did was pray. I prayed that Charlie would live and not die. I prayed for his family and for our nation. Once I heard the news that Charlie had died, I was numb. I honestly didn’t know what […]
The Holy Spirit gave me a word for 2025. Sometimes, the Holy Spirit falls like rain, but sometimes, you must dig another well. The water is always there in the dry season, but you can’t always see it. You have to dig for it. In Genesis Chapter 26, there is famine in Canaan, and Issac […]
The year was 1983. I was 24 years old and had already been in “full-time” ministry for four years. The problem? I was only making $100 a week. I loved what I was doing, but I couldn’t imagine how it could ever be sustainable. I was dating a girl I loved and wanted to get […]
In October 1998, we hosted a Children’s Pastors Conference at Joy Christian Center in St. Cloud, MN. The theme was “Leading Children in Revival.” It was a radical idea at the time; however, it was what the Holy Spirit was leading us to do. We took out a half-page ad in Charisma Magazine, which cost […]
Spiritual impartation in the Bible refers to the supernatural transfer of spiritual gifts, blessings, authority, or anointing from one person to another. This divine process occurs through physical contact, prophetic declaration, or divine appointment. The Apostle Paul said it to Timothy like this, “Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received through prophecy spoken over […]
Jesus got angry with the Pharisees many times, but I only see one time when he got angry with his disciples – when they pushed the children away from him. This tells me that thinking that children are not spiritual is ungodly. “One day, some parents brought their children to Jesus so that he could […]
