It can sound extreme to say an entire system of disbelief can collapse in a day, but it's not extreme. The Lord can collapse these systems quickly and in ways that are beyond human imagination. Our best efforts cannot bring about a complete collapse of anything. We...
I was talking with someone who had an important decision to make. They had gathered several options from trusted advisors. They asked me, “What should I do?" I said, “Follow the scarlet thread.” After taking a moment to digest what I said, I explained what I meant. I...
This morning, I was reading the last chapters of John where the crucifixion of Jesus was described. The Lord had been arrested like a common criminal after Pilate yielded to the demands of an angry religious mob and nailed Jesus to a Cross. Jesus was mocked, beaten,...
Romans 8:5 tells us: “But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities” (TPT). The word “impulses” jumped out at me and captured in words what I have been experiencing as I learn how God prompts us to live. Jan and...
This morning, as I look at the flowers and card I got for Jan, I think back to an evening fifty-one years ago when I took Jan on a spontaneous date. I entered our college cafeteria and saw her. We had been introduced a week or so earlier so I wasn't a stranger. I...
Last night, Jan and I watched one of those end-of-the-world, apocalyptic films titled Greenland. In the film, a comet is on a collision course with Earth promising to create a near-extinction level event. It was standard and predictable disaster film fare. In...
In the last few months, I’ve had conversations with several friends who are able to see and interpret where the Church and culture stand in this particular moment in history. The word “era” is used in these conversations to describe what is transpiring historically....
Each of us collects evidence to support our bias. We tend to move toward individuals and groups who think the same way as we do. It is human nature to seek out this bolstering of personal opinion. The problem with this way of living is that it creates an intellectual...
The great moves of God arrive unexpectedly. They are like an earthquake that begins to shake a city without warning. While God will speak to His prophets some elements of what is to come, the knowledge of the precise timing, effect, and location of these moves of the...
I have traveled a lot – hundreds of thousands of air miles. The thought of travel is no longer a joy. It is work. Recently, I received a ministry invitation. I wanted to say no but knew it was a Kingdom assignment, so it required my honoring the request before the...
For the last few weeks, I keep hearing in my spirit the words “like a deer caught in the headlights.” These words create an image of a deer caught in the middle of a road blinded by the headlights of an approaching vehicle, unable to move and sadly becoming the victim...
Never allow despair to overcome your faith. Every breakthrough no matter how farfetched it might appear has a capacity of prayer that must be reached before the breakthrough can take place. Each time we offer up a prayer in faith it is added to the cup of that...
There will come a time when our beliefs will put us in direct opposition to the spirit of the age. This challenge can make a person feel as though their back has been pressed up against a solid wall with no hope of deliverance. In these situations it can seem like the...
What is taking place in our culture is not just a turn of events. The vessels carrying these events are being turned upside down to shake out the deception they contain. God is doing this emptying work so He can fill these containers with what is true. Don't focus...
In the year 2021, some of you will be repositioned in places of influence that your natural experience could not predict or prepare you to experience. The phrase “stay in your lane” will be ignored by the Spirit to reposition people based on the message they carry or...
