I've always believed the accounts of Jesus' miracles. I have carried that belief since the day I was first saved as a young boy. It has been an unshakeable belief in what the world considers to be impossible. In that belief, I held onto my young and innocent faith,...
There comes a time in our process of spiritual maturity that we stop crying about the pains of life we experience. It is there when we discover a critical truth. The attached quick video explains what I am thinking....
The phrase “the fear of God” has received a bad reputation from those who do not understand its meaning. This fear is a reverence for the Lord, and it’s nothing to shy away from, even when some people want to write it out of the pages of Scripture for fear that it...
Last night, I had a disturbing dream. In the dream, I was speaking to a married couple and mentioned the beauty of the Old Testament. The women welled up in tearful anger and shouted, “It’s judgment!” I was shocked at the woman’s response and then the dream ended....
In the Church, there are expressions of both left and right in the current political and social structures. If our efforts are focused only on those agendas, we will become distracted and miss something even greater. We will miss the ability to identify the unseen...
This week, I had two experiences that reminded me of the beauty and power of innocence. The first experience happened while I was shopping and came across a display of children’s books. There on the shelf was a book my mother used to read to me, Poky Little Puppy....
Some battles in God’s Kingdom do not require our skill to gain victory. They only require our worship. The Lord will fight these battles to reveal the power of His name. At this time in history, we are in the middle of such a conflict. The Lord has a plan for His...
Life can become a strenuous exercise at times like the time in which we are currently living. We need moments of release from an unrelenting pressure to always understand what is happening. These moments of release are not attempts to escape reality. They are times of...
Forty-five years ago, I walked along a narrow ridge on the summit of the Rocky Mountains. I was walking along a thin line. It was both dangerous and insightful, a lot like seeking truth today for those who seek a place of truth. Here are my thoughts on my experience....
Lying spirits are afoot. They are advising people with words they want to hear, not words of warning sent from the Lord. This is a time to discern what is true and false. As kings Ahab and Jehoshaphat considered whether to go to war, they assembled 400 prophets...
Our faith needs to be conditioned to get us in shape for the race set before us. An untrained faith will not be able to withstand what is coming. I listened to an interview with a race car driver who said that to prepare for a race they needed to be in what is called...
When we enter an intense spiritual attack the only sure way to survive the assault is to press harder into the word of the Lord that brought us to the place where the attack is first initiated. To retreat from our commitment to God will release greater jeopardy than...
Many followers of Jesus Christ do not realize who they are and what they carry. As a result, they will live a timid expression of their faith becoming bound in fear when they should move through life expressing God's love and power with greater freedom. The Ark of the...
We can prepare our lives to honor God by doing all the right things, but until His presence fills those places of preparation, we will be just a beautiful temple that was built to honor God but lacked the most important part – the presence of God. Looking and sounding...
