Occupy The Church — Why We’re On A Crash Course Toward Change

There’s something interesting about Occupy Wall Street to me, as I look at the parallels in the church world.  I’ve heard for many years about “revolution” coming but I’ve not seen it.  In some circles it has fast become an overused word, which I’m hesitant to use.   I’m finding...

What Do You Mean by “Revival?”

“But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in...

Stuff People Think Pentecostals Believe

I thought I’d begin the week with a post that’s a little bit more lighthearted than we’re accustomed to here at Fire On Your Head.  I’ve got other things God’s burning on my heart sitting in draft form that I will post in the coming weeks.  I know my sparkling personality...

Oh Lord, You Worked Miracles Before, Where Are They Today? Encouragement To Keep Pressing In!

“O God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have told us The work that You did in their days, In the days of old.

Love: The More Excellent Way, part 1

“How much better is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!” (Song of Solomon 4:10b) “And I will show you a still more excellent way.” (1 Corinthians 12:31b) In the opening of the Song of Solomon—my favorite book in the Old Testament—the...

Let’s all get drunk!!

All were made to drink of one Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:13 They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. Psalm 36:8 Sorry about the attention-grabbing title.  Hopefully I can explain myself in this post. I think this is one of the most neglected and fun...

Ephesians: The Mystery of the Church 1

The letter to the Ephesian believers is a vast treasury of wealth and knowledge containing the riches of the spiritual realm. It instructs us with the influence and power that the Church, the fellowship of believers, has as an inheritance in the heavenly places. And it is a declaration of the...

Changing the Culture Through the Apostolic by Greg Tankersley

Apostolic definably seems to be a subject of consideration and criticism as of late in the Body of Christ. In some Christian circles it is rejected, thought  to have “died out” with the last of the 12 apostles, and in other circles the apostle is the metonym motivational speaker and therefore...

The Jezebel Spirit — How To Conquer It (Part 2 of 3)

Fighting Jezebel In order to fight Jezebel you have to first come to her level of competition. This means, you have to be as strong and fierce as she is. The spirit of Jezebel is a very overwhelming and overbearing spirit that gives the Jezebelite an arrogant and self confident flare and attitude, making...
