Understanding Your Dreams Is Rooted in Hebraic History

Most Christians today are virtually ignorant of the rich heritage of dream language and revelation bequeathed to them by the church throughout its history. Actually, this legacy is older than the church. Christian dream language, like the church itself, has its roots in ancient Judaism. With such a long history, why is this important dimension of Christian experience either unknown or dismissed by so many believers?

Angelic Intervention Through Intercession

While there is great diversity among the angelic host, each category of angels has a specific assignment and distinct attributes. But there are three primary functions listed in the scriptures concerning all the angelic hosts.

How to Grow in Divine Revelation

God desires that everyone comes to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4). So let’s look at 12 powerful principles that will help you continue to grow in the spirit of revelation (Ephesians 1:17-19) as a prophetic lifestyle.

Praying from a Victorious Perspective

It Is Finished!

There are seven statements of Jesus on the cross. Perhaps the most important one of all is when He declared, “It is finished!” (John 19:30) Nothing else needed to be done because He had done it all. The work of the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ is perfectly complete!

Lessons from My Spiritual Fathers

Fatherhood determines identity and identity and releases security. Security produces a culture where it is safe to be unique, an environment where dreaming is the norm, and an expectation that dreams really do come true!

God Quits When Man Quits

One of the first great intercessors in the Bible was Abraham, and his most famous intercessory prayer was for one of the most sinful places in the ancient world! Sodom and Gomorrah have become synonymous with sin, sexual debauchery, and sodomy, yet the great Patriarch of Israel, the “father of faith,” interceded passionately that those twin cities of sin be spared!

The Jesus People DNA

The Jesus People Movement was a wave of Christianity that began on the West Coast of the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s and spread primarily through North America and Europe, before subsiding by the early 1980s. It was the major evangelical Christian element within the hippie counterculture, or, conversely, the major hippie element within some strands of Protestantism.

The Synergy of the Generations

If the Church hopes to be relevant and meet the needs of the twenty-first century and beyond, it must be willing to undergo a paradigm shift. The Elijah to Elisha Revolution confronts the status quo by challenging the Church to reexamine many of its assumptions.

Purim – When the Enemy Overplays His Hand

This article was composed by Jon Hamill from a recorded teleconference call on Wednesday, February 25th, 2015 between he and James Goll.

Inspirationally Praying the Word

The Beauty of the Lord!

I sense the intense desire of the Holy Spirit to take a whiskbroom and dust off some of The Lost Treasures of the Body of Christ and present them as brilliant gems to gaze upon. Like a spiritual archaeologist or perhaps something like a modern day “Indiana Jones” of the fabled movies, let’s search thru the treasure chest of God and church history and bring these jewels to the forefront once again.

God’s Trustworthy Word

Are there any absolutes? Any standards or parts of the moral code that do not change? Most of the world seems to think that we are becoming more enlightened as time goes on, and that this means we must leave old standards behind. In the Western world, “inclusiveness” reigns supreme.

10 Distinct Pictures of Christian Reflective Prayer

The Lord is truly revealing fresh insights into these ancient truths. As you know, books have often been my mentors in my journey in live and ministry. The following is a combination of gleanings of years of research and time just spent with the Father.

Releasing Holy Spirit Empowered Prayer

“I have heard you,” replied Jeremiah the prophet. “I will certainly pray to the Lord your God as you have requested; I will tell you everything the Lord says and will keep nothing back from you.” (Jer. 42:4 NIV)

Returning to the Stronghold of Hope

Over the years you will find that the Holy Spirit emphasizes different themes of God’s Word to us. Over the past few decades one of the truths being restored to the body of Christ, has been the “word of faith”. In recent years, the Holy Spirit has been highlighting the message of  “hope”.

Israel: God’s Prophetic Calendar

This article is an updated excerpt of “Chapter 8 – Israel God’s Prophetic Calendar”, from the book The Prophetic Intercessor. 

Although Israel as we know her today is only a little more than sixty five years old, the Jewish nation is actually one of the oldest on earth.

Crisis in the Middle East

For more than a decade I have been declaring in many gatherings in many cities of the earth: “While all eyes would be on Iran, watch Syria. Iran will pose a great threat, but the imminent danger to Israel, and the entire Middle East would arise out of Syria.” I have warned of chemical and biological weapons being stored up in this rogue nation and how they would attempt to export them to their puppet regime of Lebanon.
