As I read through Song of Songs this morning, I came across a verse that sounded different from the beautiful love song that Solomon described between a man and woman in the covenant of marriage. The verse describes angelic hosts who are skilled in spiritual conflict,...
Each season of life has a specific assignment. To discover that assignment is to become empowered in ways we might not realize in the beginning when questions about that assignment are first asked. I remember my pastor telling a group of us young and yet-to-be...
All things not bound by God’s love and truth will eventually unravel. We are living in the first stages of a great unraveling. In that unraveling, those in the Church whose faith is alive will grow stronger as they submit to the voice of God. In contrast, those who...
These three things - an undeveloped intellect, an unyielding spirit, and a hardened heart - are very dangerous conditions to possess while attempting to navigate the affairs of this life. Allow God to renew your mind, expand your spirit and soften your heart. Only...
Recently, I was speaking in a church when a man I know came to say hello. He shared that he had been battling cancer. After the initial overwhelming emotion of that diagnosis was first delivered, he began to experience the fear associated with the possible outcome of...
We have entered a moment in time that is beginning to reveal surprising outcomes no one could have imagined. A mindset of assumption will blind some from seeing what is taking place. Remove any assumptions you may have, political, religious and relational, and the...
When I was a young SWAT cop, our team was asked to assist in the takedown of some very bad people. They were part of a drug cartel and heavily armed. We got some intelligence that members of this group were transiting our area in the back of a U-Haul rental truck in...

Today, you will be walking into answers to prayer you could not have imagined or even thought possible. All your life you have been faithfully prayed for by people you know and many whom you do not know and will never meet. Walk forward into these answered prayers...
The saying, “opportunity is knocking at your door,” is about to take on a new and deeper meaning. Instead of waiting for the sound of a new opportunity to knock, you will open the door to wait in anticipation before the opportunity actually arrives. Faith hears the...
This morning, I read a prophetic word released by Kim Clement in 2014: "There is a sound that is coming that the world has never heard before. On the day of Pentecost, there was a sound that came and My church was born. But that sound destroyed the powers that would...
Someone once gave me the impression, in no uncertain terms, they could not be deceived because they had sat under a particular pastor’s teaching for decades. While they were trying to give me that impression, they were living in obvious deception in one...
Jan and I just returned from an outstanding time at the Leader’s Advance at Bethel Church in Redding, California. Whenever I am in an environment where apostolic vision is partnering with God at the leading edge of revelation, revival, and reformation, I return...
As you look at the picture of this playground ride it is quite possible, as a child, you rode one of these. I did many times. With the help of my friends, we started to spin the ride holding on to the perimeter until all of us got dizzy and were spun off one-by-one by...
