Walking 2000 Miles with a Cross: The Power of a Walking Memorial - Acie Burleson

Image
I remember the heat of the Texas sun back in 2014. We were at Jesus Jam, and the air was thick with the kind of humidity that makes you feel like you’re breathing through a wet towel. In the middle of that crowd, I saw a man who looked like he had been through the fire and come out refined. His name was Acie Burleson. He wasn't just there to listen to music or socialize; he was there with a cross. At the time, I didn't fully realize the depth of the calling on this man’s life. We’ve all seen people carrying crosses on the side of the road, and sometimes our carnal minds want to dismiss it as a gimmick or just "something nice" to do. But when the Holy Spirit is moving, nothing is just a gimmick. Everything has a purpose in God's divine geography. Have you ever felt like your walk with Jesus was missing that spark of supernatural adventure? Maybe you’re tired of the "business as usual" church routine and you’re hungry for a relationship with the biblica...

Speaking Things into Existence: The Power of Agreement and the Heart

I remember sitting in my living room one morning, the light just beginning to filter through the blinds, and I was going through my daily Bible reading with my wife, Susan. We were just quietly moving through the Word, but then, something hit me. It wasn't just a thought; it was like the Spirit of Truth started sewing together a tapestry of Scripture right in front of my eyes. A panorama of doctrine began to unfold, specifically regarding the power of what we say and why we say it. Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a loop of negative circumstances? You pray, you try to have faith, but it seems like your life is moving in a direction you never intended. You might be struggling with health issues, financial lack, or even spiritual attacks like night terrors, wondering why the breakthrough isn't coming. It’s a frustrating place to be, feeling like a victim of your own environment. The truth is, many of us are unknowingly "speaking things into existence" every s...

From Serving Mammon to Living by Faith - Testiomny

Image
Have you ever felt like you were pushing a basketball under the water, using every ounce of your strength just to keep something submerged? That is exactly what it felt like for years as I tried to suppress the voice of God in my life. I was chasing the American Dream with a vengeance, fueled by a bruised ego and a desperate need for recognition. I thought that if I could just make enough money, if I could just reach the top of the mountain, I would finally be "somebody." But here is the problem: the more I gained of the world, the more I lost of my soul. I was serving Mammon—the spirit of riches and greed—and it was eating me alive like a cancer. You might be in that same spot right now. Maybe you're grinding sixty hours a week, looking at your bank account, and wondering why you still feel so empty. Or perhaps you feel God calling you to step out in faith, but the fear of losing your "security" keeps you locked in a cubicle. I’ve been there. I’ve lived in th...
