Those who want to change God’s word to accommodate their sins are being influenced by a spirit. That spirit has been called “the spirit of the age.” It wants to rewrite God’s word to comply with a degrading social norm. Sadly, for some in the Church, it has become...
Sometimes, a person is so given over to sin that the consequence of their sin must run its course. It’s like what happened with Pharaoh, who laid upon Israel the bondage of slavery, and throughout his enslavement of God’s people, he and the nation suffered a course of...
Each night, before bed, I pray that the Lord will protect us during the night hours. Last night’s prayer was different. I was given the impression that I was to add something to my prayer in the form of a request. Knowing I am approaching the last lap of my earthly...
A few years ago, someone spent their entire blog broadcast discrediting my ministry. One of the main points of criticism was that I used too many life stories to illustrate a biblical truth or prophetic insight. He thought my illustrative parables made me somehow...
In the Kentucky Derby, a horse called Rich Strike, a late entry, won the race in a come from behind victory that stunned onlookers. The announcer was so focused on the two lead horses he could not see what was about to take place. To his shock and the...
We have been programmed to see a Hollywood version of demonic activity and view it as entertainment. Those dramatic physical manifestations can be real and part of hell making itself known, but they are rare instances and rarely reveal the controlling spirit behind...
In some circles, it has become socially chic to downplay or even demean Mother’s Day. Don’t buy into it. Honoring mothers is a higher road to take even if our personal journey has been painful. Moms, we love you and we are so grateful for the sacrifices you made to...
All is not lost when God is invited into our turmoil. He has a way of turning what seems to be an impossible situation, one without hope or direction, into a place of unimaginable joy.
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been rereading the Gospels to be followed by the book of Acts. I wanted to see once again what the first believers did with their faith in the marketplace of life. I have noticed something. The majority of the Western Church has...
My father was a real cowboy, not a dude. He rode in the last remnants of the Old West. He told me a story of riding across an Arizona desert in the 1920s and running out of water. The situation would have had a dangerous conclusion had he not done one thing – he...
A great resurrection will precede a great awakening. Many good and godly people whose effectiveness in God’s Kingdom had been diminished because they were taught a lesser purpose for their faith, will awaken and walk out from tombs of isolation and disengagement. As...
Just before I went to bed last night, I heard the Lord say, “You have entered a time where the truth will upset the apple carts transporting the rotted fruit of deception. Only in the upsetting can the truth be finally seen.” This morning, I read news reports that a...
Sometimes we are afraid to speak the truth for fear of creating an offense. That is understandable because we see a lot of people speaking from their unthrottled passions without thinking and measuring the impact of their words. It causes damage to the image of Christ...
Describing the seasons of life and aging with definitions like, spring, summer, fall, and winter misses the point of the Christian life. We have been called to a single season of Spirit-filled living where fruit is produced in each decade of life. Some have given up...
