As I was reading through Revelation, I came upon similar language to what the Lord spoke on the Cross when He said, “It is finished.” “Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture, he said, ‘I am thirsty.’ A jar of sour wine was sitting...
For the last few decades, theories and assumptions about the book of Revelation and the timing of its events have been taught to the Church. It has been a pick-and-choose exercise, leaving out some of what is described in John's writing, assigning it to the past or as...
I hear, both in the corporate world and within leadership circles in the Church, the phrase, "Taking someone to the next level." Entire courses of instruction and counseling are developed to take someone to whatever "the next level" means. That next level is defined...
One of my early memories was of my father taking me to an iconic hot dog stand in Oakland, California called Doggie Diner. At the time there were Doggie Diner franchises all over the Bay Area. I can still recall the smell and taste of the hot dogs and the steam-heated...
There is always a danger when something unusual happens and we try to create a prophetic-sounding meaning to the event. All of us can be susceptible to such an enticement. These events should not be dismissed out-of-hand because of the fear of being misunderstood,...
We are entering a very fragile moment in world history. While we have been assured that all is well the fragile factor of all things apart from God will be exposed, falter, and fail. The governments, institutions, and individuals aligned with God's heart for humanity...
Last night, I was awakened by the Lord to pray and bind the hand of the devil regarding personal my safety. The Lord called to my memory an event from my distant family history and the vulnerability that history created in the present day. I hope that what happened to...
The phrase, “Unless you have been living in a cave...”, has been used to define someone who doesn’t see the larger issues taking place outside their narrow field of view of reality from within the cave of their perception. I was once told a Chinese proverb that...
Our obedience to God doesn’t cost us much - yet. If we live in the United States, we have a free pass to preach the Gospel, teach the way of truth, and come and go as we please offering our opinion. What if that changed and a real threat to our life accompanied our...
There are times when it appears the life we once knew has been taken over by unseen, hostile forces. In those situations, a believer has another option besides bailing out on life and calling it quits. A few days ago, a Marine Corps F-35 fighter jet went missing after...
The devil plays the long game. We, on the other hand, can become impatient wanting immediate results causing us to step out of line with God's timing. Our impatience and lack of historical perspective are used by hell against us. Impatience is never a Kingdom...
30 years ago, I experienced a supernatural event akin to shape-shifting. It was one of the most unusual things I had ever seen. The Lord allowed me to see the evidence of what happened as a matter of prayer, not curiosity....
As we process the progression of time, we should not forget that time is in submission to eternity, not the other way around. The Lord can accelerate time or slow it down to align with His purposes and accomplish His will. While the reliability of the reoccurring...
Each city, region, and nation on the globe, have demonic spirits at work attempting to attach themselves to the leaders of those areas. In their attachment, they have a primary mission – to hinder belief in the Lord. Discerning what spirits are attached to...
We can become so locked in our traditions and personal preferences that when God speaks through unfamiliar visions, dreams, or words we can prematurely reject them out of hand before receiving the revelation those events bring. In Acts 10, Peter falls into a...
