When the Lord gives us a word to speak, there will always be those who disagree with what we say. Some will even condemn us. When this happens, we need to move past those objections and condemnations and hold true to what the Lord asked us to share. Moving past those...
Some things a prophet will speak can seem out of time and do not align with current agreements among other prophets. These lone prophets will undergo scorn and dismissal until what they have prophesied comes to pass. For three years, there was no war between Aram and...
We are constantly being told who to hate and who to love – who to vote for and who to demean – who we should trust and those whom we should not trust. The Church has been called to stand alone with God in culture amidst all the strident voices and listen to God, not...
We have entered a very dangerous time in history. If we are not right with God and have our trust placed solidly in Him, as the future devolves into chaos, overwhelming evil will emerge leaving an unprepared person without hope. Many times, when a nation is in...
The people we choose to surround our lives with who will give us counsel and provide direction is an important decision to make. If we are insulated by the words and impressions of foolish people, we will be led away into error. This applies to all relationships and...
It is important to remember how faithful God was to us in our past. Recalling those memories will ensure that we will walk in faith into the future. Those recollections will redefine our fearful emotions and direct our actions, especially when a threat seems...
This year, the Lord will reveal the meaning of the following verses in an obvious way, “No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the Lord. The horses are prepared for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord” (Proverbs 21: 30-31)....
My Father’s Day weekend began with me visiting a car show in Medford, Oregon. Six hundred cars of all makes and models were on display. When I go to car shows, I always look for a 57 Chevy, my first car. I saw a few 57’s at the show and they were all impeccably...
The Lord is getting ready to “knee” us in the gut of our understanding so He can cinch up the saddle of our comprehension of reality. He will do this so our interpretation is secure as we enter an unpredictable future. Here is a quick video about what I am feeling:...
Whether one supports a leader who stumbles on stairs and has difficulty speaking or someone who makes brash public comments and has bright-colored hair, we need to look deeper than the surface manifestations of a person. That deeper look will require the guidance of...
Scripture offers some very strong words regarding people who create unnecessary division within the Church. They are called liars and deceivers with evil motives, “Their perverted hearts plot evil, and they constantly stir up trouble” (Proverbs 6: 14). Scripture...
I was given an assignment from the Lord a couple of years ago. My assignment was that if I choose to watch a video or see a photo of a stumbling leader; I must choose to pray for that person. On occasion, I have failed to fulfill that assignment, but it still remains...
\ The nations of the world are groaning under the leadership of compromised leaders. God has a plan to bring transformation to those nations through a process of spiritual reformation. I listened to an interview with the president of El Salvador. I realized I was...
