A Sermon but No Message

When you are a preacher you have an obligation to step into the pulpit with a message. Sometimes that is easier than other times.

This week I really struggled with my message.  I knew exactly what I was going to preach.  I knew the text, I had an outline, I had references, I was ready.  Except I wasn’t.

I have no desire to bring a sermon.  I step into the pulpit to bring a message from the Father and yesterday I had a sermon but no message . . . until the third song of worship.  At that point the Holy Ghost came into the room, gave me a vision, and told me what to preach.  Actually He gave me a vision, two sentences, and an altar call.  I had to figure out how to preach it.

So with a few minuted till I was going to be welcomed on stage I furiously scratched out the message the Holy Ghost gave me.  I preached it and the Holy Ghost confirmed it with signs and wonders.

Now, that’s preachin.
