Lying spirits are afoot. They are advising people with words they want to hear, not words of warning sent from the Lord. This is a time to discern what is true and false. As kings Ahab and Jehoshaphat considered whether to go to war, they assembled 400 prophets...
Our faith needs to be conditioned to get us in shape for the race set before us. An untrained faith will not be able to withstand what is coming. I listened to an interview with a race car driver who said that to prepare for a race they needed to be in what is called...
When we enter an intense spiritual attack the only sure way to survive the assault is to press harder into the word of the Lord that brought us to the place where the attack is first initiated. To retreat from our commitment to God will release greater jeopardy than...
God is restoring what has been considered lost forever. Abandoned relationships, missed business opportunities, and unimagined cultural breakthrough will be some of the examples of these miraculous restorations. These supernatural acts of God will be considered both a...
God is asking many of us to change the filters through which we interpret the issues of life. Some of these filters are so clogged nothing new is able to pass through. We are choking to death for the lack of a fresh breath of revelation. I’m usually on it when it...
This weekend, I was speaking at a conference at Valley River Life Church in Eugene, Oregon. During a worship session, something unusual and breathtaking took place. It is always a joy to worship in a church where those who lead us not only possess musical excellence...

You are about to be shown the way forward. It has been a dark and unsure season, not in your relationship with God, but when it came to knowing your next step. That is about to change. God is going to usher you into a new place for a fresh revelation. When I was a kid...
The tension, angst, and increasing frustration swirling around in the hearts and minds of many people is like the tension expressed in a bubble just before it bursts. This is not a financial or political bubble. It is a spiritual bubble that once it breaks will...
When the sound of God’s voice entered the formless and empty void of nothingness and said, “Let there be light”, a creative expansion began to take place. The sound of God’s voice penetrated the nothingness releasing the supernatural forward motion of creation. Out at...
For the last 5 years, Jan and I have been seeing the number, “9:19”, everywhere. We see it on the digital clock in our bedroom, on our microwave oven, our computers, smartphones and all places digital. It has been quite amazing how many times we have seen that number....
Years ago, I said to the Lord, “I can’t wait to see you face-to-face and ask you some questions.” At that time, early in my journey of faith, I wanted the Lord to give me those answers to prove my points of preferred theology and win debates with anyone who held an...
Some of us need to learn how to speak a new language. We need to learn how to speak the truth in love using the language of our culture and the heart of God to craft our dialogue. Those who will have the most significant impact in the reformation currently taking...
