People want to hear only what they want to hear. If someone's heart is not aligned with God, they will reject what does not fit into their narrow understanding of what they consider to be true. As in all Isaiah's prophecies, they reveal principles about the Lord that...
Through the history of challenging social change, even when attacks come against the Lord's people, God's truth remains unchanged. The Lord does not abandon His people in a time of turmoil and persecution. As we read the book of Isaiah, it is as if we are reading the...
Prophetic warnings are not a popular subject. We can create theologies about God that dismiss the warnings offered by God's prophets. Isaiah mentioned the danger of such interpretations when he wrote Isaiah 21. We have something to learn in his warning to Babylon...
Be careful not to prematurely judge a person or a word that creates a disruption of a long-held assumption. Those who create these disruptions might be carrying a message from God intended to protect and deliver those willing to examine the message to determine its...
Some of you are living under the weight of unfounded accusations and threats of revenge. A turning point will take place where the voice of your accusers will be silenced, and their plans for revenge will fail. The Lord is coming to your rescue. This morning, as I was...
We like to talk, even prophesy, about the sudden moves of God. The consideration of those sudden moves produces hope-filled conversations and raises our eyes to the horizon of the future in expectancy of what God might do. There is another kind of suddenly. That...
We have been asked to believe that protective backstops in all aspects of our society are in place to prevent injury. This belief has left some people trusting in backstops that have significant holes in their promise to protect and in some cases, are completely...
A shift is taking place in the Church that will create increasing levels of hope as the financial condition of nations descends deeper into expressions of failure and resulting despair. For the first time last week, I saw one quadrillion dollars in print,...
On Easter morning in 1958 at the end of the Sunday service at Calvary Baptist Church in Los Gatos, California, I walked down the aisle responding to the invitation offered by Dr. Blaine Bishop to receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I walked forward carrying a seed of...
I have a sense something is about to happen that will be very unusual and for some, unexpected. This unusual and unexpected event or series of events will create a turnaround for something that when originally announced, was believed by only a few. What was previously...
Easter week is a good time to revisit the exclusivity of Jesus Christ expressed in Scripture and to ensure we have not abandoned what Jesus paid so dearly for us to receive. With all the heresy hunting that takes place from time to time in the Church, most of it based...
Sometimes delivering a prophetic word, speaking a hard truth, or offering information that shakes up a slumbering status quo will require similar qualifications as the young men recruited to become riders for the Pony Express. WANTED: Young, skinny, wiry...
The unrighteous worldview nations use to promote their agenda and keep them afloat is like a ship passing through iceberg-strewn waters where fatal Titanic-like collisions are inevitable and ignored. These collisions will happen because the helm of nations is being...
We are about to experience a takeoff into the uncharted skies of massive change on a global scale. Before takeoff begins, we need to make sure we are prepared for the coming flight. When I was a pilot, a critical document was found in each aircraft I piloted. That...
As people become awakened to the reality of an unseen spiritual war taking place for the hearts and minds of individuals and nations, a phrase has come to light in recent decades - The Deep State. The Deep State is defined as a body of people, influential members of...
