Not all nations follow the Lord. Until those nations align with the Lord, even in their unredeemed state, they can still extend honor to other nations that have chosen to follow the Lord. This applies to all nations regarding the Great Commission the Lord spoke over...
Every new season of change requires that we readjust our grip to ensure we are taking hold of what matters most to God. We need to regain that grip because a shaking is coming and instability is on the rise. “So, take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen...
There are times when I have received a prophetic word or a word of knowledge that I wondered if I should share it. Not everything we hear from the Lord is meant for publication. It happened yesterday. I posted a word about two revelations coming. It was just a...
Every morning, I do an exercise called the plank. It strengthens my core. The exercise wasn't fun when I started doing it a few years ago, but now, I look forward to it each day and have been able to increase my time while holding the plank position. This morning, I...
When uttered, a single comment reveals a person's lack of understanding regarding human history. It also limits the inclusion of a contradicting narrative to what they have been told to believe. That comment is, "This has never happened before." When God is involved,...
Last night, Jan and I went to bed earlier than normal. After a few hours of sleep, I rolled over and saw the illuminated display on our clock, showing the time of 11:11. Normally, it would mean nothing to me, but I sensed a significance associated with the number. I...

This week, I had to block someone on my Facebook account. Among the thousands of people I have as Facebook friends and followers, this individual was unknown to me before reading their words. I blocked the person for taking potshots at people and name-calling. The...
Demonizing those of opposing opinions has become the default conversation of choice by those who have allowed fear, not faith, to form the content of their words and the integrity of their speech. The word "demonize" is formed by the word "demon" and the addition of...
The Church in America needs to be very careful in the coming days, especially the prophetic community. To an outsider looking in, it might appear at first glance that our hope has been placed in the outcome of this election. Whenever hope is displaced, fear abounds....
There are times when an obstacle that stands before us can seem like an impossibility. Those who approach such challenges with childlike faith in God are the ones who are in a place to see a miraculous outcome. One of our neighbors is cutting the footing for the...
