I couldn't agree more with you. Been looking for a few burning logs myself! I also appreciate Bill Johnson's teaching on honour that releases life. By saying : honour your father and mother -that your days may be long .... tells us that by honouring them, we get what they have. Pllying this to ministries and other brethren Bill Johson teaches and practices actually honouring other ministries, honouring your larticular Christian heritage, etc tec in order to tap into what they have/had. Bless you Bro. and keep on keeping on! John - Gibraltar. Hi Carl, great post! I couldn’t agree more with you. Been looking for a few burning logs myself!

We need sound Biblical teaching! But we also MUST have the power of the Holy Ghost to back up what we are teaching, with signs and wonders following!

I like the analogy of throwing the log on the fire. You have convicted me to get off of my d.b. (dead b-tt) and find a few guys to help me to stay on track praying for gifts. The power of the Holy Spirit is a God-approved, time-tested integral part of ministry. Don't leave home without Him! That’s a right-on amen! I like the analogy of throwing the log on the fire.

I agree with you wholeheartedly: God will feed the hungry. If you have a hunger for His power to flow through you to others then He will satisfy it if you seek Him about it. Everything flows from relationship with the person of Holy Spirit, so take time to develop that relationship. If I may offer something else? For anybody that doesn't have someone who can coach and mentor them in the power of the Spirit, it can be difficult to trust what the Spirit starts to stir within you as you start to seek Him. You need a frame of reference, a launch-pad from which to leap. Obviously, the best frame of reference possible is Scripture and Holy Spirit will illuminate it for you. But I think it can also be very helpful to find some good books by trustworthy authors. Maybe you'd like to post-up a short-list of good authors / good books based upon your own experiences? (Sadly there's some flannel out there, so it's good to have first-hand recommendations.) I can think of a number of authors who have coached me through reading their books, but if there is to be one book to start from then most people I know very highly recommend "When Heaven Invades Earth: A Practical Guide To A Life Of Miracles" by Bill Johnson (ISBN 0768429528). Somehow I managed to miss this book myself and so I've just recently got myself a copy and I'm really looking forward to diving into it. There's a companion 40 day devotional that goes with it too.
