King David had it all: the prestige of his office and the power to do as he wished. The undisciplined possession of those two things is a deadly combination if they are not submitted daily to God. The repeated misuse of prestige and power has been revealed since time...
As 2025 begins, we need to make an adjustment. We need to adjust how we respond when people attack us for having a differing opinion. These attacks are especially painful when they come from within the Church. Those who speak such things will eventually bring shame...
Yesterday, Jan wrote the following to friends and leaders of ministries within our various spheres of relationship. As I read Jan’s words, I felt this word had a larger audience in mind, so I am sharing it across my social media platforms. I t's time to examine the...
Today, in the United States, we inaugurate a new President. Depending on what side of the political divide you find yourself in, the day can have different emotional responses. Something more profound than a change of government is taking place today. The word...
A couple of days ago, I went to a local gas station to get some gas. The young man who served me was black. While he filled my tank, we began to talk about life and our shared interests. As our conversation continued, he looked over my shoulder with concern on his...
Now, especially now, it is important to know the direction the wind of the Spirit is moving. This is akin to discerning the still small voice of God that Elijah experienced when the easily discerned earthquake, wind, and fire passed before him while he was hiding in...
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...
