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...
Recently, I was praying for someone who is experiencing a challenging time in life. As I prayed, I began to declare over them God’s heart for their future. I decreed the victory of the Lord's resurrection and finally, I began to prophesy over them whatever the Spirit...
You were hung on a relational clothesline and dismissed. You were literally hung out to dry. Those who did this to you thought by hanging you in this isolated place they would never see you again. But God had another outcome in mind. While you were hanging in...
Family is listed as one of the 7 mountains of cultural influence. If that is correct, maybe its time to rethink the role of motherhood. Just for context, the other 6 mountains are Government, Religion, Economy, Education, Media and Arts/Entertainment. Those six...
As I was praying for someone, I saw the image of a flower that was in the process of losing its petals. One petal after another began to lose their grip and fall to the ground. The fallen petals lay in a pile around the base of a single stem. All of a sudden the...
What if there was someone who felt called to share only words of hope? What if that person believed they could change the world one hope-filled utterance at a time? What if the words that person spoke were not influenced by whoever occupied a place of power?...
Just a few days ago, I had an early childhood flashback. I remembered the sensation of being carried by my father when I was a small boy. The feeling was not just the joy of having my father hold me as he walked forward, it was the feeling of being free from the...
My first car was a 57 Chevy like the one in the picture. Same color. The only difference was mine had solid chrome wheels and moon hubcaps and a bit of rake in the rear. I bought mine for $500.00 in 1966. It had a 283 with a 4-barrel Holley carb and a Hurst 3-speed....
Early this morning, as I sat in my chair writing, I was playing the beautiful instrumental work titled Watermark. As the song surrounded me with its beauty my attention was drawn toward the front window of our living room that overlooks a timbered mountainside. Framed...
Last week a strange cat entered our backyard. Our cat is named Mister. He considers our backyard his domain and quickly scared the stuffing out of the trespassing cat sending it high up into the branches of a maple tree. Since the leaves were all gone, the only...
There are times when you have to make your intentions crystal clear. If not, hell will try to violate the borders of your life. A friend of mine lives in a very large and expensive home overlooking our valley. His paved driveway travels up a steep private driveway...
Real change, the kind of change that produces a sense of awe, is about to take place. What has transpired on the national stage can become a diversion if we do not see these events with the eyes of the Spirit. While it appears to some that God has made His most...
Paul spoke to the Corinthians about a third heaven – a place where the throne of God is located. That heaven is where you and I now sit in Christ at the right hand of the Father. A third heaven assumes the existence of a first and second heaven. The first heaven is...
