The Lord wants us to discover and, for some, rediscover the powerful simplicity of worship. We need that simplicity to release the concept of worship to a wider audience than just those who attend our primary worship service. After the fall into sin of Adam and Eve in...
Without the Spirit of God inside our lives, motivating us to do the will of the Father, we will manifest a lifeless and wayward expression of God’s Creation. Only the breath of God at work in us is what defines us as the people of God. At the creation of Adam, the...
I remember a message preached by an old and respected pastor. In his message, he shared an illustration that changed how I process one aspect of my life—lust. He described what happened on one of his many flights back and forth to his speaking engagements. This was...
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...
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...
