Yesterday while in worship, I saw the words “break-through” printed out before me in the Spirit. We normally combine the two words into one, but this time, they were distinctly revealed as two words. I asked the Lord why He had separated one word into two. He said...
There are principles relating to the fulfillment of God's promises in the Old Testament that carry over into our current experience. The principles of a fulfilled promise remain the same today because they come from the heart of God. The prophet Haggai spoke a word...
Idol worshippers across history have not always realized the idols they worshipped would become inhabited by the demons their idols represented. Their worship invited demonic spirits to come and occupy their idols. In I Corinthians 8:4 Paul wrote,” We all know that an...
Raw statistics don’t lie, but they also don’t tell the whole truth. Those who interpret statistics can do so with malicious intent attempting to bend the stats toward a preferred narrative. Statistical analysis without the presence of revelation – a revelation that...
I was in the right place at just the right time to see a very unique natural event take place. What I witnessed would become a word of encouragement for me and hopefully for anyone reading these words. I had just finished driving through a series of tight turns...
Yesterday, Jan and I were asked to bring a word of encouragement at the end of the service at our home church in Medford, Oregon. When I was asked to share, the Lord gave me two words, “rebuild and restore.” Around those two words, the Lord would form the content of a...
It is always unproductive and dishonoring to interpret someone’s life or opinion through the lens of our bias and then use that interpretation to prematurely judge their motives. We need to be careful, now more than ever, how we process that kind of interpretation. We...

In life, a given situation is either worse than we have been led to believe or not as bad as it appears. A static condition of any situation is typically a transition point between these realities. We have been offered two methods of interpretation for the events of...
There is coming a moment in time when what was prophesied and then dismissed as fantasy and conspiracy theory will come to pass. At the moment of revelation, the integrity of many will face a challenge. They will be faced with a choice to either embrace the...
For the last few days, I have been reading through the book of Revelation. In recent months, I have also been watching interviews with scientists and astrophysicists describing our cosmos and the far reaches of outer space. This morning, I asked the Lord a silent...
Exposure is never the primary goal of God. The timing of the exposure is paramount to Him. The Lord’s timing sets the stage for collateral developments that an untimely revelation cannot produce. In the wait, stilling our impatient heart is our primary assignment. “Be...
For those who are beginning to sense a nudge from the Lord to prophesy, I want to offer some thoughts. I share these insights from my own prophetic journey that began 42 years ago. Some of my experiences have been positive and some were negative. It will be the same...
