THE WEAPON OF GOD’S GLORY
There is a reason why the Church should never allow the defiance we see taking place against God to derail our faith. The Lord is creating something with that defiance. The psalmist describes how God will disable the weapons of spiritual warfare by destroying the...
FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT
Yesterday, I met with a young pastor who leads a local congregation. If one studied our conversation they would discover a single and repeated thread in our time together – the faithfulness of God. I was reminded of something the psalmist said, “O God, you have taught...
Flying by Faith Through the Clouds of Failure
There are times in our lives when the failure of a relationship or a dream will take us by surprise. When this happens, we think that part of our life is sure to crash. Crashing is not God’s plan. He has trained you to successfully navigate these difficult...
Repurposing a Place of Offense
What appears to have been suspended in time in a place of offense is about to change. A new future with a fresh start is being released. Something you thought was closed forever will be reopened, healed and restored. In the 1920’s, an exquisite home was built atop...
The Prophetic Content of Your Voice
If you want your voice to make a difference, let it become a consistent sound of hope. Many people misunderstand the nature of prophecy. The highest form of prophetic ministry is not revealing undiscovered facts about someone or making a dramatic proclamation about a...
Six Hours Until Impact
Recently, an asteroid passed so close to Earth that it flew within the orbiting ring of existing satellites. According to NASA, the asteroid was only detected six hours before it arrived. While the asteroid was small, only ten feet across, it still raised concern that...

You are speaking, but you are not being heard. It is like someone has pressed the mute button in a vital conversation. Don’t worry. God is about to unmute your voice. Yesterday, I released a Facebook Live broadcast. I am early in the learning curve of this...
Taking Inventory of Our Lives
Your life may look full and in synch with God, but only when you put all of it on the table and take a closer look can you see what is missing. Taking inventory from time-to-time is a good thing. It can also be very revealing and at times, painful. Taking inventory...
Threats and More Threats
This morning, I read a news article citing Russian President Vladimir Putin who declared Russia had developed an array of strategic nuclear missiles that could not be intercepted by any existing defense system. This new generation of missiles includes a nuclear cruise...
Silent Seasons
For some of you, this has been a silent season. The silence does not mean God has not been at work on your behalf. Some of the most profound works of God are done in seasons of silence. This experience can leave you feeling disconnected. If you can remain patient...
Defining Maturity
It has always bothered me that someone under the age of 21 could serve our nation in combat and come back home to be told they were not old enough to enjoy the same rights and privileges afforded to those over 21. While this bothers me on a cultural level, but it also...
The Roomba
Well, we now own a robot. It is not an R2-D2 version of the cute little robot of Star Wars fame, but something called a Roomba. It is a robotic vacuum cleaner made by the iRobot company. It was a gift from my brother and sister-in-law. Thanks, Stan and Sharon. Like...
The Purpose of Your Delay
Some of you have experienced a delay in what has been promised. You feel like you have been in a spiritual holding pattern waiting for the promise to manifest. You are beginning to feel restless. God could be holding off your landing in a place of promise for a number...

With every Spirit-led shift in your thinking will come an alignment to a new direction. Hidden along the pathway of that new direction are the sudden works of God that would remain undiscovered had you not allowed God to shift the way you think and ultimately change...
