Jesus was on a mission that was not popular, even among His earliest disciples. His mission and the timing of its revelation were based on the Father's will, not on people's needs or expectations. The Father confirmed Jesus who through signs, wonders, and miracles...
Demanding to have the last word in a disagreement is not evidence of God’s wisdom. It only proves we still have work to do in our hearts before we can experience and release the wisdom of God. “If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable...
Our living room window has a bullet hole in it. The shot was aligned to hit precisely where Jan normally sits on our couch. The impact happened overnight a week or so ago, so we did not notice the bullet hole immediately. It had become as they say, “a cold crime...
When Jesus gave us the Greatest Commandment to love God with all our being and love people as we would love ourselves, He gave us a prescription for peace in our soul. Without those two expressions of love working together, peace is not possible, only continued...
Here is a list of things that fatigue my soul: A continuous chorus of shrill voices- Angry responses to someone’s differing opinion- Finger-pointing at those we deem the most guilty- The latest and never-ending version of gotcha evidence- Another offering of “this is...
In our personal relationships, our families, and our nation, the only way forward when sin is present is to walk the path of reconciliation. Some think the way forward is finding guilt and bringing punishment. That can be a painful part of the process, but it is only...
You have most likely heard the statements, “Show me the evidence” or “What are your sources?” These can be honest inquiries of fact, and in many cases, are justified. But there are times when God is about to do something so new that no evidence is yet available...
Like a sniper camouflaged under a ghillie suit secreted a half-mile from an intended target, so it is with prophetic words issued in significant Kingdom-impact moments. To remain hidden and silent until the Lord gives us permission to release what He has spoken is...
The expression “the elephant in the room” describes a topic, question, or controversial issue people choose to ignore. No one wants to mention or discuss what is obvious, something that needs to be asked and answered. Engaging the subject can be challenging and...
Grabbing at straws is not hope, neither is it prophetic. I am asking the Lord to give us the discernment needed to navigate through this unusual time. Human opinion is floating around looking for a place to land in desperate hearts. Until the Lord speaks, waiting in...
When human censorship increases in an attempt to thwart truth, the revelation of God will overcome those restraining efforts. Prepare to hear of dreams, visions, and supernatural encounters occurring in the lives of those who stand opposed to truth. Just like Saul on...
We have a tendency to focus our attention on certain dates hoping that a breakthrough will occur, or a significant event would transpire. At some point, this can become an unhealthy exercise if we are not careful. God wants to create new dates of significance...
As a culture, we are in a pause between storms. This morning, I wanted to recalibrate my faith - to trim the sails and adjust my course, so to speak. I found the following excerpt from one of Jan's blessings the adjustment and preparation I needed to navigate the...
After the assault on the Capital, many people felt a need to make a comment. It is understandable, but those comments are not always revelatory. Saying something is a valve we use to release the pressure of our angst, disgust, or anger at what transpired. For some,...
After the events that took place yesterday in our nation’s capital, I could no longer sleep and arose just after 2:00 am. My soul was restless. I needed a spiritual reset before I began walking through all the emotional debris and comments that today will surely...
