In a dream, I saw a series of speakers that had been prepared and placed in our nation that would announce a false alarm. The plan was to create a diversion of our attention. The placement of the speakers was not happening only in the United States. I saw other...
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....
There are several reasons why a prophetic word is not received. The content of the word may have been correct, but you simply missed God’s timing. This happens when we get anxious to be heard and speak without asking God about His timing for the delivery. ...
When I was 8 years old, I was convinced babies were created when people kissed. I had vowed to never let my lips touch a girl. That vow lasted about 4 years until puberty kicked in and I kissed a girl on the cheek in the 6th grade. It is interesting what...
An unredeemed dark history will repeat itself unless interrupted and redefined by a fresh work of God’s Spirit. The cycles of human brokenness we see playing out in the daily news has numbed people causing them to exchange hope in a bright future for a false belief...
When you know God has given you something prophetic to share, either in word or print, your goal is to bring a simple, clear and uncluttered representation of what He intended to communicate. There will come a time when someone will attempt to hijack what you...
The Lord is about to perform a radical intervention in the affairs of earth. This radical intervention will be breathtaking because when God moves in these radical manifestations they will literally take our breath away in a gasp of wonder. Many are worried...
At the very beginning of my ministry, I remember receiving an invitation to join a gathering of fellow church planters who had been deployed from our home church, Faith Center, in Eugene, Oregon. Our pastor Roy Hicks, Jr. had sent out 100 of us to plant churches, so...
The prophetic words God speaks through us can set in motion a season of breakthrough in a person’s life. These words do not always carry with them the detailed instructions needed to walk out each step of the journey. Resist the urge to speak beyond...
There will be times when the intensity of certain social issues or the condition of culture will create unrestrained and passionate responses from people - even those who claim to speak for God. In these intense seasons of social dialogue people will demand a...
At some point, in order to effectively love a culture beyond simply matching the well-intentioned acts of kindness offered by a local service group, we must realize we have been called to deal with what Paul described in Ephesians as “spiritual forces of evil in high...
One of the most profound character traits of God is His mercy. For God to step through the curtain of time and interact with humanity required mercy. Mercy reveals the deep love of God for people who do not yet love Him and for those who profess to love Him, but...
Over the years, as I have served the Lord in various forms of prophetic ministry, I noticed something. The most accurate and life-impacting words come when spoken from a heart of humility. Humility works as a spiritual filter straining out the grit of our...
I write every day. Not all of what I write ends up on social media. Some things I write are on-going writing projects that could someday become a book or an article for publication. God has allowed some of what I write to occasionally gain a wider audience than I...
