The Lord wants to release a fresh move of His Spirit that will bring supernatural healing to the afflicted. There is one thing the Church needs to be willing to do before this happens. That one thing is the ability to identify and expose a demon's identity that is...
For some followers of Jesus, the influence of demonic spirits is neglected and not addressed. It can be too uncomfortable for some in this modern age when we think that, under the influence of our logic, we have no place for such a consideration. As a result, a...
Yesterday, I stopped at a gas station and began to pump gas into my pickup. An attendant working the pumps came out to check in with me. As the fuel continued to fill my tank, we struck up a casual conversation. For some reason, the subject of marriage came up. She...
Recently, I have noticed people are discarding portions of Scripture telling us certain texts do not apply to us or that the text does not reveal the heart of God. It is a consequential choice to make. Discarding God's word is nothing new. It has happened before in...
In the last four years, many things have happened bringing to the surface feelings and positions that reveal a divided Church. A global medical challenge, another contentious election, opinions regarding human sexuality, and other issues have revealed that we are not...
Death, disease, divorce, or any major life change are all the same in many ways. They create a set of ruins where something that was once alive, and flourishing is no longer present. It is upon those ruins that the Lord will rebuild something new. The Lord revealed...
Our world is filled with predictions about the future. Each prediction provides evidence to support its eventuality. Time will tell if what is being spoken is a word from the Lord or if it’s a prediction clothed in assumption. A prophet named Hananiah spoke regarding...

There are reasons why our lives fall apart. To blame it on bad luck or making wrong choices only touches the surface of what is happening. Deeper than our pain and disappointment, God wants to reform our lives. Jeremiah’s vision of the potter’s wheel is well known. In...

We can create prophetic words that are formed by our assumptions. Those words will affirm what people want to hear or repeat what misguided teachers have taught us to believe. We need to be careful what we speak, especially regarding the social and spiritual terrain...
There is a great deal of misdirected boasting taking place in our world. From Heaven’s perspective, this boasting resembles a form of idol worship. Any boasting and the false confidence it offers will always fail. Only God is worthy of our boasting. We can too easily...
Every word of Scripture has a context and an audience that is being addressed. We cannot distance ourselves from an uncomfortable truth simply because it was revealed in the past. Within each instruction, no matter when or to whom it was spoken, is something that will...
If you have been given a prophetic assignment, it will be challenging. That calling will have you speak words that may run contrary to the deceptions people believe and the misconceptions that are leading them astray. To announce what the Lord asks you to speak may...
Yesterday, we had a stove cleaner come to clean our woodstove. It is a yearly event required to prepare the stove for the burning season. To neglect cleaning our stove will affect both its efficiency and our safety. As I looked at the stove after the cleaner left, it...
