From time to time, the prophetic community will experience controversy within its ranks. That controversy happens because we think we need to always reveal the latest revelation each time we open our mouths. That assumption can lead us into error, even for proven...
Solomon, the wisest and richest man in the world said several times in Ecclesiastes that there is a pursuit of life that is as futile as someone chasing after the wind. It is striving for and pursuing things that cannot bring us fulfillment. They will only deplete us...
As I sat in silent prayer this morning, I saw an image of the Last Supper. It did not look like Da Vinci's famous painting where all the disciples were lined up on either side of the Lord. It was a busy and noisy gathering. Conversations occurred between clusters of...
This morning, I recalled a line in the lyrics of the worship song, The Heart of Worship, that was popular a few years ago. That one line was “All is stripped away.” In the stripping away of things we value or aspire to, we are never left alone and exposed in the...
Tomorrow, January 6, is called the Day of Ephiphany in Church history. The word epiphany comes from the Greek word “Epiphaneia”, which means “appearance”. It is a day to celebrate the appearance of Jesus. I have been praying the Lord would make Himself known to every...
In the next two days, deliveries will be made into our nation – deliveries of both good and evil cargo. It will require discernment to know the difference. Evil will attempt to masquerade as truth and offer its content as a palatable outcome for those who have not...
For the last month, I have been dreaming more than normal. Some of these dreams contain instruction and insight from the Spirit. Last night, I heard the words “on the skids.” When I heard the phrase, I saw a large black box on rails slowly moving toward a destination....
In a healthy relationship, the saw blade of truth cuts both ways. For the one who wields the edge of truth, they must first allow the blade to cut through the motives of their heart before they speak or the cut will produce death, not life. For the ones who are...
If our motivating desire is to just move on and not deal with the issues of culture that conflict with our definition of reality, we will place ourselves in a place of jeopardy. Our integrity will be at stake. In the coming days, some will be faced with this challenge...
In the current season of social turmoil, it is too easy to miss the opportunities these situations provide. Lesser issues can become the major issues if we are not careful, and in that diversion, we will fail to see the God-ordained opportunities set before us....
As the clock winds down the last of 2020 and the beginning of 2021 is only a few hours away, I had a nudge to look through Scripture to see where 20:21 appeared in biblical references. We know the chapter and verse headings were included in the biblical text only a...
Discovering patterns in our life is important. Patterns of behavior reveal the condition of our spiritual and emotional health. Over the years, my MacBook Pro laptop has written a few blog articles and books. Its keyboard is becoming worn from extended use. A...
When I was a detective, it was amusing to watch the parade of “expert” witnesses hired by defense attorneys to support a client’s claim of innocence. The old saying, “You get what you pay for,” was evident in those court proceedings. The same is true today when the...
We arrive at dismissive and ill-informed conclusions about other people when we refuse to sit down with them and talk through our differences. If we can listen to someone without needing to correct them as the goal of our interaction, we will accomplish two things....
This morning, I sat down as I do each morning to begin writing. Just before I began, I saw a notice about a 12-minute documentary film a friend of mine, Danny Hall, had edited and posted on his Facebook wall. For some reason, I felt led to put aside my normal writing...
