After a recent windstorm, I was hiking along a familiar trail past where a prominent old dead tree once stood. I’ve passed by that old tree for years. Under the wind's influence, the tree was sheared off, causing the tree to fall. When I saw the fallen tree, the Lord...
Jesus told His disciples, “You will all fall away, for it is written 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered'” (Mark 14: 27). Falling away requires a situation when we are in danger and our life is on the line. Imagine if you were told to kneel...
When the end of this age occurs, it will be a very troubling time. Even families will be divided over Jesus. The Lord told His disciples that the rejection of Jesus would be widespread, and as a result, “Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands...
If the news coming out North Korea about either the death or vegetative state of Kim Jung Un after a failed surgery is accurate, something significant is taking place in Asia. I wondered why the Lord had me hold a word for a few weeks to finally share it this morning...
God puts people in places of authority for purposes we may never fully understand. Whether they remain in that position for the full course of God’s intended purpose, on the one hand, is a choice they must make, but ultimately God will determine the longevity of their...
I’ve noticed something, or rather, had it confirmed once again. In a time of peace or when no global trauma is taking place, smartasses have an audience. They are like the schoolyard bully no one confronts, until one day when someone does, and then they are no longer...
We have all heard or used the phrase, “the status quo.” Status quo is defined as “the existing condition or state of affairs.” God has always been the disrupter of the status quo since the beginning of time, especially when it did not reflect His heart or desire for...
A cultural restart line is beginning to form. In the coming days, this line will become visible to those who view what is happening with the eyes of faith. The Spirit is sending out invitations for people to begin lining up at a place called “Restart.” What began as a...
In the past, I have written about being careful regarding conspiracy theories. I even quoted Scripture that cautions us on the subject. Like you, I have my opinions. A theory is something that remains speculative until the evidence arrives to verify the issue in...
It's time to rise up and move on. Get up and make the bed of your faith. Change the sheets of discouragement. Replace them with crisp, clean words of hope. Dust off the doubt from all the surfaces in your spiritual house. Shower off the debris of any faithless...
Take a moment and recapture a fond memory. It is a healing exercise. I just did, and a strange and beautiful peace entered my mind pushing aside some of the concerns I have picked up of late. As a young boy, I remember going fishing with my dad and riding in his...
Globally, people have been pressed into forced isolation. They can’t go to work. Most of their favorite stores and restaurants are closed. The kids are home 24/7, and the familiar forward motion of life has come to a standstill. The cessation of our normal...
You are not adrift. The current of God's love is moving you to a new place. Your job in this time of transition is to rest and trust in His faithfulness to get you where you need to be.
This is a photo of two of my favorite females. Jan is holding our new puppy named Ladybug. The pup is the result of a romantic encounter between a Labradoodle mom and an Australian Shepherd father. This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago. I like it because Jan and...
This morning as Jan and I shared communion together, we were praying for some of you and for the institutions of our nation. During our communion prayer at 6:19 a.m., I heard the word, “Backfire!” Perverse political and religious spirits with unrighteous agendas...
