If all the prophecies we hear and are willing to accept sound like a message of unicorns and rainbows without any warnings, we are not hearing the full counsel of God. His prophetic warnings are acts of love. His warnings will lead to the release of His mercy. His...
A month ago, I clearly heard the Lord give me direction that I did not expect. If I didn’t know the voice of the Lord, I might have questioned or resisted. However, I did ask Him to confirm what He spoke to me. I asked Him to tell Jan, my most trusted voice and...
Jeremiah gets a bad rap for being too tough on sin. He speaks with clarity about the oppressive consequences of sin, yet also about God’s mercy. Jeremiah wrote in the book of Lamentations, “Her oppressors have become her masters” (Lamentations 1:5). He described...
When the writer of Hebrews penned the words, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8), he was referring to the unchanging nature of the Lord. He was also writing a warning. The warning was mentioned in the next verse, "So do not be...
The most straightforward and uncomplicated acts of obedience are what will lead people into God's truth and align them with God's promises. There is a principle known as Occam's Razor. This theory originated from a man named William of Occam, who lived in the 14th...
I live in Oregon. I have a special interest in what is happening in Portland because it lies within the State of my residence. In the United States, we have an equivalent to the terrorist group Hamas. It’s called Antifa— a recently designated terrorist organization....
There are times when a prayer will fall from my lips that I know the Spirit, not my mind, has prayed through me. As I began to pray this morning, I prayed, “Lord, help me hem in the garment of my faith.” Like an unhemmed pair of pants that are too long and flop around...
A significant threat to any government, and for leaders within the Church, is secrecy and the failure of a leader to disclose the whole truth about their ministry when it comes to personal enrichment. In our government, people are asking, "When will the full and...
There is a great enslavement taking place in our world. This kind of slavery is not because of our ethnicity, race, or where we were born. It's a slavery to the fear of dying. This fear enslaves all people. Only by faith in Jesus Christ can the chains of that...
We have many leaders, both in our nation and within the Church. Not all leaders act with godly intent. Some have been exposed as evil people. But while that evil is being revealed and takes the headlines, there are godly leaders we should affirm and recognize, or we...
In the last few weeks, we have seen what can happen when people don't want to talk, but instead, bring harm to those with whom they disagree. Having a conversation with people of another opinion can get you killed, as it did with Charlie Kirk. Both sides can have...
The devil is very adept at creating language for us to use that aligns with our prejudices and predispositions. This is why God's word is our only safe lexicon for language. Only the truth of God's word can keep us safe and distance us from the seduction of a...
An awakening and commissioning of young prophets and apostles is taking place in our nation. One young and prominent one has fallen, yet thousands will now rise to take the Church and our nation to areas where the fulfillment of God's will is made visible for all to...
Integrity is not just the result of making the right choices. It creates a pathway that is marked by our choices to love and honor God. After Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers, he was brought to Egypt, where he was purchased as a slave by a man named...
