Whenever we try to make things right, we will not always do so perfectly. In some of our attempts, we will make a mess before righteous change comes. This is not just in our personal relationships. It affects even how a nation is governed. We are seeing examples of...
After Jesus was born, two prophets confirmed His assignment. One prophet was named Simeon, and the other was Anna. Both were advanced in age. Regarding Simeon, it was written that, “The Holy Spirit was on him” (Luke 2: 25). As Simeon waited for the Lord’s...
All that is taking place in your life that is challenging the fulfillment of the promises God made to you will eventually submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in if you are one of His followers. Your relationship with Him is the guarantee of those promises. ...
Many times, just before dawn while still in bed, I will process a thought. Last night was one of those times. I was processing how we respond to hot social topics. I purposefully left out certain descriptive words in the previous sentence that might make an...
The image I saw was of vultures circling the corpses of martyrs in Afghanistan. These vultures were terrorist nations emboldened by the dark spirits motivating them. They have been waiting for their opportunity – an opportunity granted to them this week. What the...
Sometimes jumping ship is the wisest course of action. The decision to jump must be made before it's too late and the failed vessel pulls you under in its turbulent descent. The sinking ships I am referring to are failed ideologies and theologies that rob people of...

Every life has threads of revelation that will appear over a lifetime. Discovering those threads builds our faith and affirms God's presence in our lives. Recently, I was having a conversation with a friend. He asked, “When are you going to write your next book?” I...
I have read that as the frequency of a sound increases it goes through a transformation becoming color. Just as it is with a natural phenomenon like sound, prophecy will change its nature as it rises into new dimensions of intended revelation creating change in areas...
In the last month, I've had friends whose loved ones died from a variety of causes. All were unexpected. These deaths left people sucker-punched with grief and sorrow. This morning, as I was reading through the book of Exodus, I came across a single verse that...
The spirit of fear is ramping up its activity. Fear grips a person’s heart and creates an unexpected and irrational response where just moments before sane and sensible dialogue was possible. There will be some situations where confronting the fear in others will not...
Great regret is approaching. This regret can be avoided if we properly discern the signs of the times in which we live. This is an Issachar moment of history. Issachar was a tribe descended from Jacob and Leah. The sons of Issachar had a unique assignment. “From the...
