We are smelling the stench of rotted morals. We see it happening in our streets, families, and in our government when evil is allowed to remain unchallenged, degrading the human experience. Sometimes, when a leader attempts to instill a sense of morality, their...

SPEAKING THE TRUTH HAS CONSEQUENCES
We frequently hear the phrase, "Your words will produce a violent response!" That threatening comment is not a reason for a believer to remain silent when the truth is not being honored. Charlie Kirk was killed because he spoke the truth about life, marriage, and...
SHOWING NO FAVORITISM
When the legal system of any nation is unjust and fails to convict the guilty, anarchy will increase because there is no fear of prosecution when someone commits a crime. The spirit of anarchy will show favoritism to the criminal in our courts, not to the law. As a...
STARTING OVER
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...
KINGDOM SABOTEURS
Seven years ago, a significant change happened in my understanding of the Church and God’s Kingdom. I had previously believed if I just preached enough good sermons and lived a life of integrity that would be enough. At the time I did not realize I needed to include...
PROPHETIC ASSUMPTIONS
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...
THE RIGHT KIND OF BOASTING
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...
SPIRITUAL CROSSROADS
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...
A PROPHETIC ASSIGNMENT
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...
A PREPARED LIFE
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...
REVELATION
During breakfast a few minutes ago, Jan and I watched an interview on the Tucker Carlson Network with a man named John Rich. Rich is a singer who had a profound download from Heaven. As a result of that download, he wrote a song called Revelation. As he spoke about...
DISCERNING TWO KINGDOMS
There are two kingdoms active on Earth – the kingdom of man and the Kingdom of God. We need to understand the distinction between the two because our hope for the future will only remain intact when we are devoted to Jesus and His Kingdom. Of the Lord’s Kingdom,...
THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS
In this life when pain and loss come, we are never without the effect of God’s restorative blessings if our heart remains pliable to His will. This is why we can praise the Lord no matter what comes our way. The life of Job is an example of the Lord’s restoration....
THE BLINDING EFFECT OF DERANGEMENT
When an evil act takes place, like the assassination attempt on President Trump, we can miss seeing the miracle of God’s rescue because we allowed our negative predisposition to limit our understanding of what happened. What muddles our understanding are the...
WHOSE SPIRIT IS SPEAKING?
The Church has been called to speak truth even when the truth is not popular or accepted. That kind of speech requires courage when forces are set against its release even drawing on our legal system to silence its message of dissent. At some point, threats of...
