Principalities and powers are looking at Israel. The church, however, may not be in step with heaven’s focus; some do not line up with God’s prophetic word. The Church may be looking in the wrong direction. The focus is often on history and not what God is doing today. Prophetic disciples know to fix their […]

This is the season of Israel’s restoration, and the church and the world are blessed because of it. Through the descendants of Abraham, the world is blessed and will be blessed even more in the future (See Gen. 12:2-3). In the past, blessings came because of the teachings and life examples of the patriarchs, the […]

When the foundation stones break, the building crumbles. As a young man, I was alarmed that the divorce rate in the nation was at 25%. Today that number has skyrocketed to 50%. The family has been under attack for decades and if the family falls, society is destroyed. Individual lives, children, the church community, and […]

No one is automatically born into the family of God; salvation is a decisive act. It happens when someone prays, God calls, and you respond. Then the spirit of adoption brings you into the family of God. The adoption, however, is not the end of the story, it is the beginning. Male or female, from […]

I am glad to see a fresh move among born-again believers to care for the poor and do good works. It is a much-needed shift. For years, many believers have only played a one-string guitar; they focused on one truth, and missed other things that were also important. The evangelical church has rightly emphasized salvation […]

I have discovered five major ‘signs of the times’ that are highlighted in scripture and evident in the world today. These signs tell us that we are in the last days and the great tribulation looms large before us. Israel’s amazing rebirth and progressive development is, by far, the most obvious sign. Another powerful sign […]

For 21 days, Daniel sought the Lord with prayer and fasting but heaven was silent. Finally, the archangel Gabriel came to him. The angel was so powerful that Daniel was overwhelmed by his presence. Daniel fell to the ground and could not stand up. He could not talk and he felt like he could not […]

Since the past mid-term election, the church in America has been shaken. The US president is suffering increased personal attacks, and the powers of darkness have been emboldened. Progress toward a stronger Judeo-Christian ethic in America has been temporarily sidelined. The battle has become more severe and it was intense already. During this season, we […]

Our house is situated on a twenty-five mile-long, man-made lake, with a dam at either end. Recently, we experienced a week of heavy rain. In anticipation of the downpour, the local power company closed the floodgates at the top of the lake. The lake began to empty and the water level dropped so drastically that […]

At one point or another everyone has been shunned. Some are shunned for a season, but others are shunned all of their lives. Whole communities have reacted accordingly. Jewish families, around the world, changed their names and hid their identities to avoid persecution. African Americans are set on edge because they feel they may be […]

Yes, Holy Water is real, and it is required for a Holy Spirit-led life. I am not talking about the water used in a liturgical church (that has been designated or sanctified) to have special power. At best, that water is symbolic of the real Holy Water. The real Holy Water is essential. To understand […]

The Lord sees everything. He knows the details of your down sittings and the extent of your uprisings but He is looking for something special. God searches the world to find someone He can bless. He is looking at you to see if you will draw His attention. All people have been created in His […]

There are two kinds of authority in the world; one is godly and the other is ungodly. Overpowering others with unbridled force, bullying, cruel domination and tyrannical oppression are pictures of ungodly authority. Ungodly authority can also be wielded using the powers of manipulation, coercion and legalism through any position or title given to an […]

In times of spiritual battle the Lord raises up two kinds of prophets: those on the front lines and those who go undercover. God’s eternal purpose is unstoppable but He does not accomplish His purpose singlehandedly; He calls forth His prophets to partner with Him. Some openly proclaim the right ways of the Lord in […]

I am referring to my favorite father in the Bible. I am not talking about my Heavenly Father or my own dad or grandfather; of course, they would be my favorites. No, I am looking at Bible characters. When I search for natural (not spiritual) fathers in the Bible, I do not see many references […]

The first church was entirely Jewish. Jesus was a Jew; His apostles were Jews, and essentially, the first twenty-five thousand converts to Christ, were Jews. On the day of Pentecost, God-fearing Jews from all over the known world, gathered in Jerusalem and three thousand of them received the Holy Spirit. This was not a white […]

“You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly.” Heb. 12:22 Some translations say, myriads of angels, or an innumerable company of angels. There are literally billions of them. Every child born on the planet has an angel assigned to them (see Mt. 18:10). If there are billions of people alive on […]

For decades Christianity has been under assault. Heresy and compromise have risen within and attacks have assailed it from without. The Judeo-Christian ethic in our culture has been displaced by a spirit of moral decay. Popular thought has shifted so much, but many who claim a Christian heritage are not even aware of it. Our […]

The early disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray and He taught them the correct motive, purpose and procedure for prayer and personally demonstrated the act of prayer. Jesus’ prayers were so powerful that every prayer he uttered was or will be fulfilled. Each prayer He spoke required a miracle and its path was […]

A massive shift is coming that will move us from survival to fulfillment. The Church is hanging on, but a shift is coming that will cause her to fulfill her mandate. Israel is struggling against Anti-Semitism, but a shift is coming and she will walk in her destiny. You as an individual may be standing […]
