This morning, while I was praying, I saw a map that had been spread out across a large table. Then another map was provided, drawn with new borderlines and distinctions. The new map was then placed over the old map. I asked the Lord what the new map signified. I heard...
Some divisions are so deep that someone must do everything in their power to bring about restoration and redemption. Without making that first move, the restoration God intends to happen cannot take place. When Jacob stole Esau's birthright, it created a deep division...
A move of God has gripped America. Some will call that move a division. It is a division, the same division the Lord said would occur when the Spirit moves among a nation. “I have come to set the world on fire, and I wish it were already burning! I have a terrible...
When we think of a prophet in the Old Testament, we have various understandings about who they were. Some of God’s prophets were simple people whom the Lord used to reveal profound truths. Amos was a shepherd and a sycamore fig farmer. He was a matter-of-fact kind of...
Not all nations follow the Lord. Until those nations align with the Lord, even in their unredeemed state, they can still extend honor to other nations that have chosen to follow the Lord. This applies to all nations regarding the Great Commission the Lord spoke over...
Every new season of change requires that we readjust our grip to ensure we are taking hold of what matters most to God. We need to regain that grip because a shaking is coming and instability is on the rise. “So, take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen...

Some efforts that began with good intentions have become infested by the termites of greed and corruption. Over time, the consuming power of greed and corruption so compromises the structure that it must be demolished to start over again and rebuild its purpose. We...
Each of us has been given the ability by the Lord to become a blessing to others. A bestowed blessing may be completely opposite of what a person is feeling or experiencing. The words of a blessing invade and, at times, contradict their assumptions. “The person who...
When the writer of Hebrews was writing what would become a book placed in the New Testament canon, he wrote, “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It...
Critics have a shared magnetism. They are drawn together by their mutual disagreement with those who have opposing opinions. Undisciplined critics have an anger problem that dictates how they respond. It is too easy to want to delete their angry and challenging...
A faith in God that is beginning to fade away is a dangerous situation. There is more at stake than just a cooling of our faith. It will eventually lead to a hardened heart where the truth of God and His word is lessened and replaced by the shallowness of human...
