Today, the idols held sacred and put on display in our culture will be demolished by the presence of the Lord. The assumed victories of these false gods will not stand forever. Truth will be used to bring them down to defeat. A compromised priest named Eli had two...
Some answers to our prayers are not meant for us to possess. Those answers are to be given to the Lord for His use, because the answers were a miracle, not something we were able to accomplish. Scripture tells us of a woman named Hannah who was married to a man named...
Jan and I learned something years ago that had to do with creating a spiritual safety border around our finances. We could never allow an ungrateful attitude to exist. Ungratefulness can lead people to make desperate and unwise choices in an attempt to satisfy the...
As the election cycle ramps up in America, we need clarity regarding the decisions we make. We need to be clear in what we believe because our actions will follow the choices we make. Is what we are facing a political or a moral issue? There has been a move of recent...
David spared Saul twice. He cut off a piece of Saul’s clothing the first time while he slept inside a cave. The second time happened while Saul and his men were asleep in a camp. At that time, David took Saul’s spear and water jug. When Saul heard that David and his...
Some believers are allowing the smallest requests of obedience from God to be ignored. Ignoring these acts of obedience will open doors that allow spirits of darkness to influence our lives. We would never believe those things would come, but they do. They begin to...
Each spring for the last 20 years, I have walked past a gulley near our home to see a small patch of daffodils. They have never become more than just a patch. The color of the bright yellow flowers pops against the green grass background of the gulley. The daffodils...

Something began to change in my thinking on my 40th birthday. I realized I was about halfway through my life. When I approached 50, the advertisements from AARP began to arrive confirming my understanding. I was being awakened to the prospect of aging and death....
Many believers get sidetracked and begin to live a life that does not honor God or the calling upon their lives. In these detours from a life of faith, the choices they made are never powerful enough to permanently erase the anointing on their lives if they become...
There are times when the Lord will use the environment of confusion to defeat the lies being expressed in our personal lives and even within a nation. When it appears that darkness is deepening its grip and creating confusion, the Lord will make Himself...
A spirit is afoot attempting to thwart the works of God. I am seeing this happen with friends in other nations and here at home in America. The common denominator regarding each of these individuals under assault is their mission to accelerate and accomplish The Great...
Pushing back on the lies we are being offered as established truths and an uncontestable fact is the nature of spiritual warfare. Holding the line on God’s truth will challenge the established deceptive narrative currently being offered in our social dialogue. Taking...
A fast and accurate delivery of truth offered at the precise moment of God’s timing can release devastation upon the plans of the enemy. In the classic movie, “The Patriot", starring Mel Gibson, one of his sons had been taken captive by British forces during the time...
