Diving Deep into the Prophetic with Pat Hodges

Image
Here is my interview with Pat Hodges from Omega Ministries. In this interview we discuss: The difference between OT and NT Prophets The Difference between prophet and being prophetic What about "Judging Prophets" in 1 Cor 14:29 ? Prophetic Pitfalls Good Prophetic Books I recently had the privilege of interviewing an old friend and mentor, Pat Hodges from Omega Ministries, about the prophetic ministry. When I first started walking in the prophetic many years ago, God brought Pat into my life to help me grow. He took me from the kiddie pool to the deep end very quickly!   In our interview, Pat shared some profound insights about the differences between Old Testament and New Testament prophetic ministry. In the Old Testament, only a few were anointed as prophets to hear from God on behalf of the people. But in the New Testament, Jesus made a way for all believers to hear His voice directly. The role of New Testament prophetic ministry is mainly for edification, exho...

Stepping Out in Faith: The Inspiring Story of Acie Burleson, Who Carries the Cross for Jesus

Image
Acie Burleson literally Carries the Cross for Jesus! As a Christian, I'm always inspired by stories of people who step out in faith to follow Jesus Christ. That's why I was so excited to interview Acie Burleson, a man who literally carries a cross around town to win people to Jesus. I first met Acie at the Jesus Jam Texas event, where he was praising the Lord in the pouring rain. His passion for Christ was evident to everyone there. When I learned that he now walks around carrying a cross, I knew I had to hear his story. Acie shared with me how about 8 years ago, soon after he was saved, God spoke to him and put it on his heart to be a "walking person." He felt called to walk and carry the cross, but he struggled with doubt and fear.  It wasn't until 7 years later that Acie finally fully surrendered to God's call. He started carrying the cross and living by faith, trusting God to provide for him, his wife, and their four children. And God has been faithful - s...

Overcoming the Snares of the Devil: A True Story of Supernatural Deliverance

Image
Testimony of Deliverance from Demonic Oppression I have an incredible testimony to share with you today that will build your faith in the supernatural power of Jesus Christ. I recently connected with Markeyus Franks online in the Knowing Jesus community, and when I heard his story of deliverance from demonic oppression, I knew I had to have him on the show. Markeyus' oppression started after watching the movie Ghost Rider years ago. He began experiencing frightening thoughts, anxiety, and physical symptoms that sent him to the hospital. When he moved out on his own, the attacks intensified with demons pressing on him at night, tormenting him with negative thoughts.  Desperate for relief, Markeyus turned to a friend who connected him with an oracle to perform rituals and use potions. While this provided temporary relief, it opened the door to even worse spiritual bondage and control.  Everything changed when Marcius reached out to some Christians who began ministering...

From Rock and Roll to Jesus: Rick's Powerful Testimony of Redemption

Image
How Jesus Transformed a Hard-Partying Rocker I recently had the privilege of interviewing Rick, the lead guitar player at Christ the Rock Church, after witnessing his baptism and powerful testimony. As someone who also came out of a life of drugs and rock music to follow Jesus, Rick's story deeply resonated with me. I knew I had to share it with all of you. Rick and I actually grew up in the same area of Texas, probably playing football against each other as kids. But our lives took very different paths. While I found Jesus, Rick pursued the rock and roll lifestyle of women, alcohol and drugs. He was a talented guitarist, playing in bands and guitar contests. But as he tried to live out the hard partying life glorified in the music, Rick sunk deeper into addiction, multiple arrests, and a growing emptiness inside. "I started believing more and more of the satanic part of it, that I'm untouchable, I'm immortal," Rick recounted. His first marriage ended in divorce a...

Why Your Ministry Might Be Blocking Your Destiny (and What to Do About It)

Image
Letting Go of the Bar and Diving into God's Perfect Will I've been seeking the Lord fiercely lately, storming the gates of heaven for revelation. But sometimes, it feels like there's a brass heaven blocking my prayers. It's in these moments that I realize the importance of persevering in prayer and seeking God diligently. You know, as Christians, we often find ourselves fully invested in a particular ministry or way of doing things. We've put so much time and effort into it that it becomes hard to let go, even when God is calling us to something new. It's like we're holding onto a bar made up of our own thoughts, arguments, and patterns. We're stuck in a two-dimensional reality, unable to see the fullness of what God has for us. But here's the thing: Jesus is right there, inviting us to let go of that bar and follow Him. It's like He's reaching into our flat land existence, offering us a taste of the three-dimensional life He has for us. When...

Incredible Testimony of an Undercover Missionary to China

Image
One Man's Covert Mission to Communist China As a Christian blogger, I recently had the privilege of interviewing an anonymous missionary who had been called by God to take the gospel to mainland China - a country where Christianity is illegal and evangelism is extremely dangerous. This undercover brother's powerful testimony left me in awe of how God is moving mightily, even in the hardest spiritual soil.   A Divine Vision and Three Years of Prayer It all started with a vision from the Lord over the course of three years, revealing specific places in China that this missionary was being called to. After praying intently and seeing God provide the means, contacts, and finances, he embarked on this covert missionary trip to China with two others.  Entering the Heart of Religious Persecution   Once on the ground in China, they connected with local hosts and witnessed firsthand the harsh reality of Christian persecution. They were explicitly warned that if caught sp...
