When we sell our souls to evil, at some point, the enemy will come to collect our indebtedness to him at the cost of our very souls. “Now there was a man named Naboth, from Jezreel, who owned a vineyard in Jezreel beside the palace of King Ahab of Samaria" (I Kings...

EXPERIENCING HOPE IN A DEEPENING DARKNESS
There is a deep spiritual darkness that the natural mind cannot see or define. Isaiah the prophet wrote, “Darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples” (Isaiah 60: 2). There are two different words for darkness used in this verse. The first use is a...
PROPHETIC TROUBLEMAKERS
If you believe all prophecy is to be encouraging and without ever issuing a warning, this message will challenge your current understanding. That misconception is part of the problem with our understanding of New Covenant prophecy. There are times when prophetic words...
The Power of Revelation
The farther we move away from the historical details of an event the more some people will take license to create a new and false narrative of that history. This is where the presentation of fact, while still true, will not steer the debate and bring about a...
Disaster Thinking
I just returned from a ministry trip along the northern coast of California. I was driving through Eureka and stopped at a supermarket to buy some food when something strange took place. Before I share the story, I need to give you some background. While driving along...
The Thunder of God’s Voice
Last night a powerful thunderstorm rolled through our area. It was so powerful that I received a FEMA warning through an app on my iPhone. Right after the FEMA warning was displayed, a clap of thunder exploded over our house. I have lived in the Caribbean and lived...
Feeling the Pressure to Perform
To encourage someone to suck it up and "just take the next step" is not always wise counsel. There are times when people need to know where to place their foot before they take the next step. In these situations, where theirr foot comes down is as important as taking...
Honest Faces
I walked into the hotel lobby where I am staying and passed a sign that read, “Please show your room key.” Showing my room key was to gain entry into the hotel’s breakfast buffet. As I walked by the front desk the man working behind the counter didn’t even raise his...
Heaven Has No Coincidences
As I sit here in a hotel room in Eureka, California, I find it by no coincidence that several things are happening all at once on the same day. Later this morning, I will take the short drive to where I am scheduled to speak at the First Baptist Church of Arcata,...
The Fruit of a Double Portion
Yesterday, I brought home some cherries. As I was eating the cherries, I noticed most of the cherries in the basket were double cherries. It was hard to find a single cherry in the basket. In all my life, I had only seen a double cherry a time or two....
Measuring Your Dream
Lately, I have been seeing objects lying on the roadway at intersections. Last week, I wrote about seeing the head of a claw hammer on the ground at an intersection (http://var/web/site/public_html.prophetichorizons.com/2018/05/the-hammers-of-disagreement-and.html)....
Discerning Hidden Messages
Jan and I live at the edge of our small town close to the forest. It is not uncommon to see all kinds of wildlife. We have seen deer, wild turkeys and on a couple of occasions, a cougar. Last night, I was awakened shortly after midnight to the loud howling of a...
Living the Dream
A few weeks ago, I was shopping and struck up a conversation with an employee. I asked, “How are you?” The woman said in a cynical tone, “I’m living the dream!” After a few moments of conversation it was obvious she was not living her dream. Some of what she shared...
Distant Sounds
Distant sounds capture my attention. There are times when I am sitting in my writing chair next to the open window that I can hear those distant sounds. The horn of a train sounding as it travels through the city. A dog barking a warning or birds singing in the...
Teach Your Daughter Well
One of the most important things a father can teach his daughter is to know the difference between truth and a lie. The truth will guard a daughter’s heart when well-crafted lies are whispered in her ear. A daughter will first learn the sound of that truth or the lack...
