The Lord brings correction to His people from time to time, especially those who claim to speak for God. To do this the Lord used the prophet, Micah. Micah preached to both Israel and Judah during the same time as Isaiah. He denounced both kingdoms' oppression,...
The prophet Amos wrote about something called a plumb line. A plumb line is a construction tool used by builders. It uses a weight attached at the bottom of a rope or string that employs gravity to provide a straight up and down measurement. Once aligned, a builder...
Some believers have allowed their anger and disgust to become a condemning voice within the Church. They are using their undisciplined emotions to employ the same tactics and labels used by arrogant news media sources and biased social media commentators. In the...
When a group of any size is structured corporately instead of biblically, it opens the door for secrecy and backroom dealing. For those unfamiliar with the corporate process, such a statement might seem insensitive and lacking faith. The presence of such an...
There is a significant difference between being a “woke” follower of Jesus Christ and an awakened one. A woke person will someday awaken to a nightmare they too easily believed without discerning the long-term impact of their choices. An awakened believer becomes...
Prophets can offer pivot points and next steps to influencers in all spheres of culture. This is especially true when a standstill occurs, and no way forward seems possible. These prophets do not need to know or even understand the issue into which they are asked to...
I was asked to be part of a conversation with two very talented people involved in a business proposal with several investors. The proposal they are working on was at a critical stage of development just before its scheduled launch. They needed a word from the Lord. I...
When I read the biographies of those who followed the Lord during times of persecution, famine, and war, I noticed an absence of a shallow Hallmark-card-like expression of faith. Also absent were religious silliness and legalism. Their lives and expressions of faith...
Some of the challenges facing the Church today in Western culture are not caused by pandemics or politics. They are sourced in a disconnect created when the equipping gifts are not allowed to work in harmony with each other and instead, function as separate silos of...
I saw the image of a firing squad. The image was set in a city square. People lined the walls of the city waiting to see the victim die. I could see bloodlust in their eyes like a scene from a Roman coliseum event. What was strange in the image was that bandanas were...
Prophets are best understood in Kairos time, not Chronos time. Prophecy interrupts our assumed timelines and our preferred outcomes. A prophetic interruption of what has been assumed by human reasoning can produce misunderstanding and even rejection. Wait for the Lord...
Unusual and historic exposures may soon be forthcoming. A clarity and awakening will accompany these exposures. It will not be comfortable, especially for those of us who follow Jesus Christ. Our assumptions and lack of discernment will be made public when this...
Whenever ever someone is offered an invitation to get in bed with error and deception that invitation will eventually lead to spiritual intimacy. At first, the union feels right because a person's undisciplined soul has been prepared for the dark union. The union is...
I have lived long enough to know that in life, new discoveries in familiar places are always possible. Last week, I was removing some old dry leaves from the bushes along our gravel driveway. As I pulled back the brush to get to the leaves, I saw the numbers “1960”...
Our faith links us to the supernatural realm. It connects us with what has been declared impossible, something not measurable within the limits of human practicality. Practical faith is a manageable faith in human terms. It does not need God to survive. A faith...
