Forty-five years ago, I walked along a narrow ridge on the summit of the Rocky Mountains. I was walking along a thin line. It was both dangerous and insightful, a lot like seeking truth today for those who seek a place of truth. Here are my thoughts on my experience....
Lying spirits are afoot. They are advising people with words they want to hear, not words of warning sent from the Lord. This is a time to discern what is true and false. As kings Ahab and Jehoshaphat considered whether to go to war, they assembled 400 prophets...
Our faith needs to be conditioned to get us in shape for the race set before us. An untrained faith will not be able to withstand what is coming. I listened to an interview with a race car driver who said that to prepare for a race they needed to be in what is called...
If we are not careful, we can become like the ball in a pinball machine bouncing back and forth between the latest political controversy, moral offense or today’s news broadcast of someone’s wrongdoing. It is like dope. It keeps us spiritually stoned and out of touch...
I saw the image of a person walking into a large warehouse filled with construction material. It was Heaven’s warehouse of possibilities. On the floor were stacked pile after pile of doors. The impression I had was the doors were waiting for installation. Dust covered...
I just heard the Lord speak the following sentence, “The Ichabod delusion is being displaced by an Issachar anointing.” The Spirit of God is entering segments within the Church where His presence has been muted and ignored, and as a result, the glory departed. An...
Only a posture of hope birthed from faith can redefine what has been declared impossible. Choosing hope is a critical step in the process of renewing our minds. The determined choice of hope when all appears hopeless is one of our greatest acts of faith and often the...
Getting even is never an increase. It keeps the participants living at a lower level of mutual dysfunction. Choosing to forgive your adversary will release you from the control of the offense. Continuing to bless your enemy after you make the initial choice to forgive...
Last night, I read an article in our small-town newspaper. The author was writing about the woodland trails that surround our city. He mentioned hiking and pointed out the benches provided along the trails as places for hikers to stop and rest. Then he mentioned...
Recently, I watched a video about a new elevator system. Traditional elevators move people up and down between floors. This new elevator adds another function. It can also move passengers side to side, laterally between floors. This up and down, side to side movement...
Life with a new puppy is a unique experience. We have been here before, so it’s no surprise. It is a constant vigil for accidental piddles and making sure our little Boone boy knows how to fit into his new pack. By the way, he is such a good pup. He is a...
The obvious is not always the right solution. There are times when God will go in the opposite direction from what is assumed to reveal His heart in the most unimagined ways. Jesus did this in His life. ...
Many of us are sensing a shift taking place in our spiritual lives. This shift is not always accompanied by a change in geography or employment. It is a deeper shift that takes place in the realm of the Spirit. As I was processing that idea, I saw an image of...
Prophetic words spoken long ago and forgotten by many will soon come to pass. God has not forgotten these words. They have been resting without ignition for this moment in history. When they are released, they will have explosive results. I was prompted by the Lord to...
The sound of your voice cannot be silenced if your words are empowered by the heart and will of God. If God has given you something to say, He will make way for you to be heard. Truth spoken in love is the most potent sound made on Earth, and it cannot be...
