No life is free from times of loss and uncertainty. How we see our life in those times, and more importantly, how we see God, will define our faith. As Habakkuk surveyed his life and saw the hand of God at work in the nations, it greatly affected him, “I trembled...
In the Spirit, I saw a long sheet of plastic that had been placed on a grassy slope to reduce friction and increase the speed of those descending the slope. The slide had become a form of recreation. I saw someone line up to take their turn sliding down the slippery...
It has been said that censorship is the last refuge of the weak. It is the evidence of a dying institution that seeks to retain control. To keep censorship alive, all opposing voices must silenced so that control can continue to be exercised to keep their illusions...
I’ve been alive long enough to have lived through several seasons of cultural upheaval. The current season may well be the most intense. When so much is happening, and people are taking sides, lobbing their perspectives like mortars into other people’s lives, it is...
When the way forward in any area of life is not known, our heads begin to swivel, looking for direction. We need to be careful in these moments that we do not yield to desperation or fear. When the pathway seems blocked and a stall has taken place, our ability to...
This morning, one of my Facebook friends wrote to me and said she was searching for words regarding the spirit of Goliath that prowls through culture as an intimidator. She went on The Elijah List to do a word search and found something I wrote in 2015 that seems to...
When I was a young SWAT cop, our team was deployed during a county-wide strike where emotions were tense, and the possibility of violence was real. Our days off and vacations were canceled, and we worked 12-hour shifts. This situation went on for seven long weeks...
The first generation of believers did not think it unusual or strange to talk about angels or their ministry on Earth. Only when people were so taken with angels in an unhealthy way that diminished the Lordship of Jesus Christ was a correction needed. The existence...
The Lord can speak a simple sentence that seems to come out of nowhere, and the content of those sentences can reorder a person’s thinking. Yesterday I heard the Lord say, “I am casting a net wider than your imagination.” Later in the day, I shared the word with Jan,...
God does His greatest work when it seems like all hope is lost. In a hopeless place, no human effort can accomplish the impossible. When a child seems so lost that a parent finally gives up all hope of a joyful reunion or when a financial situation has so collapsed...
Early this morning, I shared a word on my social media platforms and my website under the title “A Single Domino Will Fall.” A couple of hours later, I felt impressed to research the etymology of two words – domino and dominion. What I discovered was very interesting....
Last night was one of those nights. Just before 2:00 am, I awakened and realized I wasn't going back to sleep, no matter how hard I tried. A few things came to mind from the day before that was of concern to me, so I lay in bed praying. As I prayed, I saw an...
A subtle shift in thinking is taking place. People are waking up and seeing their reality from a new and different perspective. Those who at first saw the restrictions of our government as reasonable and even defended their implementation now realize a change of...
Perhaps it is because I am now living in my 7th decade of life that I listen more intently to the older ones who went before me to know how to navigate the last season of my life. This morning, I was reading II Timothy. This letter from Paul was written from a Roman...
I listened to a seismologist talking about earthquakes. After the broadcast, I considered the spiritual parallels between natural quaking and the shaking events in our lives. Earthquakes rupture along a fault line and move away from the epicenter of the original event...
