Something has come to mind several times in the last week. It just came to mind again, interrupting my normal morning routine. I thought it was time to speak about what I was sensing. The Lord asked me to pray a prayer of prevention. The USS Abraham Lincoln, an...
In recent days, when controversy in the prophetic movement has surfaced, we need to understand what happened along the way that led us to this place. It’s not a complicated issue if we understand what happened to those involved. It’s also a safeguard for the rest of...
It’s too easy to view human opposition to the will of God as an insurmountable obstacle. What we can also too easily forget is that any form of human defiance to God's will eventually become a weapon the Lord will use against the defiers to protect His people and...
Prophetic warnings are not a popular subject. We can create theologies about God that dismiss the warnings offered by God's prophets. Isaiah mentioned the danger of such interpretations when he wrote Isaiah 21. We have something to learn in his warning to Babylon...
Yesterday, Jan and I watched an episode of season 5 of The Chosen. In one scene, Jesus and His disciples were celebrating the Passover. At one point, Jan and I got emotional when we heard a song they sang. They were singing what is called the "Dayenu," a song...
Last night, Jan rustled in bed. Her movement awakened me. The faint fragrance of her perfume came to me as she changed positions. Immediately, I sensed that her fragrance was a word from the Lord to me. As our attention is being drawn to wars and rumors of wars in the...
We like to have confidence in what we believe. That confidence is not always the best indicator of what is true. Apart from knowing that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, so much of our faith needs to have a place for wonder and mystery to exist, not another...
Several years ago, the Lord gave me a prophetic word. He said, "Follow the money." The word came because I asked the Lord to help me understand what motivates people and what harms those under the influence of their greed. The revelation that followed that word has...
We have just come through a season in our nation where we were told to believe lies calling them good. We have been told to believe those lies at the personal expense of punishment for those who reject the lies and hold onto God's truth. An appeasing Church is weak....
While some may be offended by the title of this word and read no further, the implied meaning is “Where’s the Faith”! We are all susceptible to clickbait as we browse social media, even on blogs like this one. We need to hold back our offense until we look deeper into...
We need to be careful in expressing things with confidence about matters that are meant to remain a mystery until the time of their revelation. I am not impressed by human confidence. I’ve listened to interviews and read accounts from people who speak with confidence...
In times when life takes a threatening turn, we want answers. Some of the answers we get only appease our temporary fears; they do not reveal the entire truth and bring us peace. Isaiah 11 was written during a time when many opposing nations were threatening Israel....
Shortly after the attack on the Twin Towers in New York, I was asked to be a guest on a local radio station. My invitation to take part in the interview was due to a recent conversation I had with the husband of the radio host. I discussed the vulnerability of Reagan...
Many have wondered why great forms of evil have been displayed against the Church. The saints of God have been martyred in horrible displays of rage across time with demonstrations of terror and unrestrained forms of evil. What we have seen is the rage of Satan...
As I read through the book of Revelation once again for the umpteenth time, I'm left with a familiar sense of uncertainty about what John wrote. To fail to admit such a feeling is a mistake that will lead us to a false sense of certainty, which will derail us from...
