When I read Scripture, one thing I look for is repetition. This morning, I saw a set of repetitions when Aaron and his sons were being prepared to serve as priests in the Tabernacle. The preparation for their service described how these men should dress and serve....
Some days, I will get an image or impression from the Lord not knowing what He is saying to me at the time. Yesterday, I saw a large porch, the kind older homes had that was large enough for families to gather without an agenda and interact with those who passed by....
Much of the terror we see playing out in people’s lives today and the resulting panic they express is because truth is invading places of deception. The Lord said to the Israelites, that He would drive out their enemies little by little “until your population has...
Last week, I posted a word about a supernatural portal opening up over the northwest region of the United States. When the Lord revealed that portal to me it literally took my breath away. It was a magnificent image. With that vision, God made it very clear to me He...
As we enter the final hours before the election results are known, we are holding our collective breath. We are like someone who was handed an envelope with an important notice inside. As the envelope is placed in our hands and we begin to open it up, we draw in our...
We are in the final stretch of a spiritual conflict that resembles a relay race. A baton is being delivered to the final runner who will carry it across the finish line. You are the final runner in this race. A baton of truth and a baton of error are both fast...
We are at a turning point in our national history. The direction we finally take at that turning point will not come from a perceived victory in a political battle. It will be the outcome of the highest form of spiritual warfare. How we wage this battle will...
As I was reading through all the morning after comments about the Chicago Cubs win during an extra inning at the World Series, I could not help but think the win represents what God is about to do in some of your lives. When all the superstition and disappointment has...
Recently, I heard the Lord say, “I am redrawing the borders”. As I continued to listen, He said, “I am redrawing the borders of your spiritual authority and revealing new spheres of influence. The resulting realignment will reveal lines of authority only seen in the...
For years, I have always wanted to write things that give people hope. I have believed that hope, not judgment, is the way forward. Today, I write this as an introduction to a video my wife, Jan, had the courage to post yesterday. To be honest, I wondered if posting...
Back in the early 80’s, while driving with Jan on the streets of Los Angeles, a car full of gangbangers pulled up alongside our car as we sat at an intersection waiting for the light to change. I had only been a pastor for a short time and apparently still carried a...
A powerful truth lay hidden in a familiar verse waiting to be discovered. “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4) “Delight” in this verse means to “be pliable”. “Delight” can be translated, “a request”. As we remain...
In Johnny Enlow’s insightful book, The Seven Mountain Prophecy, he defines for us the 7 mountains of cultural influence. The 7 mountains are: Media, Government, Education, Economy, Religion, Celebration and Family. God is inviting the Church to stand upon each of...
The story I am about to tell may sound unreal to some, but it was an actual incident reported in a formal police report. I was the reporting officer. As a young cop, I found myself distant from the faith of my youth. In my late 20’s, I had an encounter with Jesus that...
A wise pastor once told me you will be considered an expert on any subject when you travel more than 50 miles from your home to speak. He said people want to believe the best about a guest speaker welcoming them with open arms. Knowing that assumption exists we...
