Some in the Church have been taught and now believe that Jesus's salvation only applies to individuals, not the greater population of a nation. While individuals must first be saved before a nation is impacted, we still cannot abandon God's larger purpose. He is after...
Some believers are being taught that our rights as citizens should not be pursued. Paul was not some right-wing conspiracist. He used his rights as a Roman citizen to confront those in power when they abused his rights. On one occasion, while Paul was going to a place...
There is a spirit of sorcery at work in our culture, and sadly, within some parts of the Church. The mission of this spirit is to distort and misinterpret the message of Jesus Christ. This is nothing new. It took place when Barnabas and Paul were speaking to a...
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...
I saw a photo on a friend's news feed of two images separated by 46 years. One was a photo taken in 1975 at the fall of Saigon, Viet Nam. It depicted a US helicopter rescuing people from atop the US Embassy. The other photo taken this week was almost identical. It...
Be careful to never judge another person’s response to fear. I'm talking about the life and death kind of fear that comes in times when life hangs in the balance. It is not possible to know the power of this level of fear unless you have lived under its influence....
As I read and listen to people interact with each other on a variety of social issues, I realize we are at a point where more talk and opinion will do little to change anyone’s mind. We each have our reasons and evidence to support our position. Realizing this...
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...
