The evidence that God is among us is the stillness of our hearts in times of trouble and danger. It is in that place of knowing God is here among us that His presence will begin to reorder our thoughts and determine our actions. A crescendo of evil is unfolding in our...
I was once in a strategic meeting of religious leaders where their plan for my life expressed a corporate spirit, not the Spirit of God. A political gathering under the disguise of spirituality empowered the meeting. Early in the meeting, I could see what was...
Our companionship with God is a partnership formed with Him. It is from that companionship that revelation is released. Without understanding our role in that companionship, we will fall away from our commitment to pray for the fulfillment of His promises. Those who...
When the crowds came to Jesus, he did not try to hold them. He fed them and walked away. Compromise comes when we try to hold the crowd. If you have experienced a certain degree of success, you may have attached some of your ego and identity to that success....
The sun is about to set marking the end of a natural day. This is not what is taking place in the Spirit with the promises God has given to you regarding your future, your family and your calling. As the natural sunset takes place, let it be a reminder thatsunrisewill...
Many people think of Sabbath as a day to not do any labor. While that can be true and needed, the essence of Sabbath in this Covenant is much more. It is actually the person of Jesus Christ - the One we carry with us throughout the week. He is our Sabbath rest. Those...
Gotchas in public discourse are not prophetic. They are a form of ridicule. Pointing out the failures of others in an attempt to win an argument or prove a point is not a work of God’s Spirit. Participating in a cruel-hearted exposure is evidence that the person...

Yesterday, Jan and I went out on a celebration date. We have been blessed by God in this season of our lives and simply wanted to celebrate His goodness. I planned a lunch for us at a favorite restaurant followed by a movie. After lunch, I visited the restroom. While...
If someday all of us will stand before the God of mercy, should we not extend mercy to each other on this side of eternity? We are told in God’s word that mercy triumphs over judgment, even the judgments we have that make us feel like we are the one in the right.
Yesterday, I was stopped at a traffic light. I began to hear the bleating of a lamb. I thought it was something on my radio. Then I heard it again. I realized a lamb was inside a custom made transport crate depicted in the photograph. The crate was securely held in...
Tomorrow is the first day of fall. This is a reoccurring change of seasons in the natural world. While natural seasons come and go year after year, changes of seasons in the spiritual realm are not so predictable. This week, apart from a change in the...
Your life has made a deposit and left an impact. In this life, you will not be able to fully define your influence. Eternity will reveal the significance of what you left behind. Every human being makes a deposit in life, both good and bad—and sometimes ugly....
