Pushing back on the lies we are being offered as established truths and an uncontestable fact is the nature of spiritual warfare. Holding the line on God’s truth will challenge the established deceptive narrative currently being offered in our social dialogue. Taking...
A fast and accurate delivery of truth offered at the precise moment of God’s timing can release devastation upon the plans of the enemy. In the classic movie, “The Patriot", starring Mel Gibson, one of his sons had been taken captive by British forces during the time...
Of late, I have been reading through Matthew’s Gospel. Just before Jesus went silent before those who would crucify Him, He said some strong words. All that Jesus did in those final days would “fulfill the words of the prophets as recorded in the Scriptures” (Matthew...
For the last several weeks, I have felt that we, as the Church, need to take a bath. After a long and brutal election cycle, emotion and opinion ran wild. We watched as words were tossed around like verbal dirt clods striking anyone who was standing in the way. ...
I was driving home earlier this week and realized I had been taking inventory of the vehicles coming at me from the other direction. A muscle car went by that reminded me of a 57 Chevy I once owned. Then a sports car zoomed by that stirred memories of a Triumph TR3...
The greatest theft is the theft of our passion for God. Passion is the ignition system God has placed within us that ignites our destiny. It is the flame we use to touch the woodpile of purpose that will cause us to burn for God. ...
Yesterday, I was driving in my car and turned on a Christian radio station. That was unusual for me. I don’t care for a lot of what is out there in the form of Christian media because years ago many of the platforms of faith-based media no longer seemed to resemble...
God is asking you to rip off the fake labels others have sewn onto your life in an act of judgment. He is also asking you, through an act of forgiveness, to remove the fake labels you have prematurely and impatiently placed on people and cultures before God was able...
I have always been a protector. As a young boy, my daydreams were fueled by TV shows like Roy Rogers, Sky King, and Superman. Vicariously, I became the hero in each show. This spilled over into real life. One of my earliest fights took place in the second grade while...
God is about to orchestrate unusual rescue operations. Families, cities, and nations will experience new freedom as the fruit of these operations. To accomplish this, God will release precise instructions and plans for a rescue that could not be known apart from the...
Recently, the term, “I’ve got your back” took on a new meaning. This week, Jan and I were able to attend a church service where I was not scheduled to preach. It was a refreshing change. During worship, I saw an image of Jesus. He came up behind a child unannounced...
A fake gospel has far more negative consequences than fake news. While fake news can disrupt a culture for a season until the truth is made known, a fake gospel can have eternal consequences if not discovered and exposed in this life. If you were an alien arriving in...
The culture of the United States has experienced two invasions in the last two Presidential election cycles. Eight years ago, half of the United States felt that a foreign power had invaded our nation with an unfamiliar mindset. Today, the polar opposite has occurred....
Earlier this week, I was teaching on the subject of Prophetic Alignment. I shared with the students a story of an experience I had in the nation of Zambia. I was set to preach in the church of my friend, George Palo. During worship, the Lord said the following...
Last night, I spoke at the Revivalist School of Ministry (RSM) at the Garden Valley Church in Roseburg, Oregon. Randy Rutledge leads this powerful ministry. There is never a shortage of hunger and enthusiasm at RSM. I value the students and the vision of this...
