This week, the news media reported that an immense swarm of Ukrainian drones destroyed military targets deep inside Russia. Russia has also used drones in this war. The release of drones during combat looks like a flock of angry birds attacking their targets. A shift...
I explained to Jan what I was doing when I was sharpening a knife: “A dull knife is useless.” Without a sharp blade, a dull knife cannot fulfill its purpose. Hope is what keeps the blade of our faith sharp. Hopelessness dulls our spiritual knife, making us unable to...
On a recent hike, I looked up and saw vultures circling above the canyon where I was hiking. I sensed that I was watching something with a spiritual message. I paused my hike and watched the vultures. Vultures have a highly developed sense of smell. Vultures circle...
I worked as a lifeguard during my summer breaks during college. When you have a bunch of kids in the water all screaming, thrashing, and splashing at the same time, you must look through all the noise and activity if you are going to see that one kid in trouble and in...
We need to seriously pray for the American Southwest. A disaster of immense proportion and far-reaching implications is developing that will create suffering and the potential for social unrest if a change does not come, and soon. I’ve been following what is...
To strike a larger target, hell must first come after the individuals who make up that larger target. The bigger picture of any widespread spiritual conflict is a huge mosaic made up of individuals. The individuals that make up that mosaic are the real targets of...
My dad was a decent blackjack player. Sometimes, at the end of a vacation, we were able to extend our time away because dad paid a visit to a casino when we were near Lake Tahoe or somewhere in Nevada. Mom and my brother and I would wait in our family pickup truck...
A series of strategic distractions are being offered. The creators of these distractions hope that each distraction will move us farther away from discovering the reality of what is transpiring in our nation. These distractions are a masking effort with a goal to draw...
Not all assignments from the Lord are considered normal. Isaiah, for example, got this prophetic assignment from the Lord, “Take off the burlap you have been wearing and remove your sandals. Isaiah did as he was told and walked around naked and barefoot” (Isaiah...
We have entered a moment in history where a great opportunity has been presented to the Church – an opportunity to display wise and sane decision-making. This display must first take place within our ranks before we will see a righteous change take place in our...
Sometimes we think increased levels of volume or a certain way of acting is evidence of what is called “the anointing.” A true anointing is not of human origin or creation. It is not stagecraft. It is something the Spirit deposits in a life from the realm of eternity....
There are times when the term “overwhelming evidence” is used to overwhelm reason and attempt to stall a deeper and more integrous investigation of fact. People become overwhelmed when they are buried beneath what appears to be an insurmountable mass of evidence...
While many look to the heavens for signs of what is to come in the future, and rightly so, we can overlook the fact that we are walking among some of those developing signs at this time. Not all signs are about the end of time. Some are preparatory. They are...
I love the wide-open space of sagebrush-dotted prairies. These places are removed far from the noise of civilization. There is a hush in that kind of place that soothes my soul. While watching an advertisement for a Tesla, I tried to imagine someone wanting to...
In a world where our God-created identities are being questioned and the idea of manhood is an offense to some, the title of this article could be a trigger event. The title is right out of Scripture, the place where our unique identities are spelled out with clarity...
