Every warning from the Lord brings with it a promise. For some, reading the Old Testament is a struggle as they read about the self-induced consequences of people’s sin. They get caught up in the consequences and miss the promises. In those challenging prophecies are...
My parents bought me a little stuffed puppy when I was an infant. I still have that puppy. It has been with us over the years through many travels and ministry assignments here and abroad. Just the other day, I noticed it atop a bookshelf in our guest room. I was...
Every promise of God has a heavenly storehouse of provision backing up what has been promised. Because of that stored provision, we can declare what God has promised with greater confidence. Haggai the prophet wrote, “I am giving you a promise now while the seed is...
I awoke in the middle of the night and heard in my spirit, the word "echo." I wondered why the Lord awakened me and had me focus on that single word. When I got up this morning, He directed me to something I wrote in my book, The Sound of Reformation, which I posted...
There are times in our lives when an upgrade from God will break apart our status quo and require that we redesign our lives to carry a new level of empowerment. These seasons of fracture are not the end. They are the beginning of something new. Last weekend, I was in...
In social media, there is something called “sponsored content”. Sponsored content is advertisement space a person or business purchases to push a product or a video repeatedly before a select audience. It is an attraction device. I have come to not like sponsored...
Normally, when I travel to speak somewhere my host will reserve a room fo me in a comfortable hotel. I really appreciate that consideration. This trip is no exception. The beautiful hotel and its wonderful amenities allow me to be fresh and rested during my...

We have a lot of interesting comments, quips, and quotes that we toss around in the community of faith. Some of these are well-meaning, but not always fully true. We can comment, quip and quote ourselves into strange corners if we take everything we hear or...
A great confusion of the enemy and his message is beginning to take place. In the coming days, bizarre and insane-sounding agendas will be exposed and dismantled in the public square. This confusion will take place at a deeper level where the influence of a deluding...
I took the attached photo of an empty signpost while on a walk through the small town where Jan and I live. It looks like city workers planted the signpost in the ground with plans to attach a sign in the near future. After I walked past the bare signpost, I...
I met a friend for breakfast at one of those establishments where the waitress calls everyone “honey” and the food is down home. The smells coming from the kitchen and the overall ambiance of the place let me know that a plate of biscuits and gravy was somewhere in my...
There are times when we ask God for a turnaround that He will simply spin us around 360 degrees and have us facing in the same direction. When God does this don’t get angry or give up. You are being given another chance to see what you did not see before the...
The majority of prophetic words are not specific to individuals or groups. Predictive words or words that are spoken to individuals with great detail and accuracy are surely in the mix, but they are rare. In the last 40 years, I have delivered these specific words...
