While Scripture tells us that faith is the substance of things not seen, it can also be the substance of things we refuse to hear. It's sad to see many Christians dismiss people because they have been told to reject them or they are not willing to listen to what they...
Our greatest failures are not the end of our faith. They can be the beginning of something much deeper if our hearts remain tender and responsive to God and open to His process of restoration. The restoration of Peter had similarities to his three denials of the Lord....
Predictions are different than revelation. Revelation comes from God and can run contrary to the wide variety of human predictions of what people think will happen in the future. Many times, revelation will stand alone, enduring the mockery and dismissal of the...
The prophetic gift can disturb people. That should never be the goal, but it is the reality of the gift. Those who speak in God’s name and offer prophetic insight and direction are not called to be parrots. Parrots are taught to mimic words. They are amusing to...
This morning a rolling revelation has been released. This revelation will move through the halls of government illuminating hidden doors behind which corruption and deception have taken place. While it may seem like the institutions assigned to perform the ensuing...
One day during my junior year in high school I asked to hitch a ride home with two of my classmates. The car being driven belonged to the parents of the driver. It was a Nash Rambler. A Rambler was not a vehicle known to attract girls or solidify one’s reputation as a...
For the last month, I thought I was developing something akin to OCD - an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Several times during the night, while embraced by the warmth of our comfortable bed, I would be compelled to wake up and roll over to check the time displayed on...
After the recent election cycle that caused great concern for some and a lack of interest in others, it is time to recalibrate our purpose as followers of Jesus Christ. Without a periodic recalibration of our faith, we will drift away from our Kingdom purpose to...
A passion for causes and issues can be a good thing if directed by the Spirit. How we handle our passion will determine if our voice is credible and trustworthy. Our credibility is compromised when we speak from a pool of emotions not yet disciplined by a fruit...
The dream I had last night was vivid and real. It was also very uncomfortable. In the dream, I was a newly hired deputy sheriff somewhere in Texas. I simply appeared on a street amid pedestrians walking on a sidewalk. In the dream, I arrived in full uniform. I...
I watched a sickening video of a man being attacked in broad daylight by two criminals who were robbing him. It was brutal and animalistic. It is upsetting that such blatant acts of violence take place. Lawlessness is on the rise. It is wise to learn how to reduce...
When you speak something that is contrary to an established opinion, an opinion assumed as an unchangeable fact, there will be opposition. When people begin to toss about their favorite proof text of Scripture or their religious lineage to support their opinion and...
The weapon of judgment aimed at you will not hit its mark when faith is present. An unexpected turn of events will leave you amazed at God's power and protection. As I was praying this morning, I saw a warrior preparing to thrust his spear into the heart of a person’s...
There’s an old hymn we should all sing the morning after election results are made known. We need to sing it to recalibrate our hearts. The hymn, “My Hope is Built on Nothing Less” reaffirms where true hope is founded. The lyrics tell us “On Christ the solid Rock, I...
Today marks the beginning of a pause in measured time. We have entered a process of change and transformation preparing us for a new season not revealed by natural observation or measurement. In the pause, it will feel like time is no longer rigid or stable like hours...
