God’s Original W.W.W. – The Pathway to His Glory

Do you remember the time before we had a plethora of digital devices instantly giving us the world’s knowledge right at our fingertips? We actually used to talk to one another instead of to devices. We relied on others to read and interpret oversized road maps to us for directions instead of a GPS telling us where to go and what lane to get into.

5 Prophetic Insights for 2016

As believers in Jesus Christ, you and I can walk in and release a supernatural, prophetic river of life (see John 7:38). It is already flowing through us. The reality of the new creation is this: When a person is born again, the Spirit of Jesus comes and takes up residence inside.

Let God Put a Dream in Your Heart

Do you have a dream you believe is from the Lord that has yet to come to pass? Perhaps you have even lost hope that it will ever happen. The process involved in dream fulfillment can cause even the stoutest of souls to lose heart at times. But make no mistake, the process begins and ends with God.

No Matter What Comes, God Is Good

When the storms of life come, there is nothing more important than what we truly believe. It is one thing to accept a propositional truth in our minds. It is quite another to live from that place when trials and difficulties test the bedrock of those beliefs. These are our true core values.

Effective Prayers of 7 Modern-Day Prophets

Do you want to pray a perfect prayer that the Father cannot refuse? Pray the Word of God. I asked Cindy Jacobs, Patricia King, Stacey Campbell, Lou Engle, Mickey Robinson and Beth Alves which scriptures they pray regularly, and they served up a gold mine that I couldn’t help but pass on to you.

Invoking the Power of the Blessing

We are blessed to be a blessing! We are to proclaim blessings over our families, churches, cities and nations. Some of you may say, “My parents never spoke words of blessing to me. Nobody has ever given me any prophetic words. I don’t know what my blessings are.” Be encouraged. Below I show you seven powerful and obtainable blessings that each one of us can receive from our Heavenly Father.

Surrendering Your Senses to the Holy Spirit

As light and darkness continue to polarize and grow into maturity in the world around us, it is imperative that we learn to discern the spiritual source of the inputs to which we are daily being exposed. This is actually one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit – and we can become more accurate in this gift through practice and fully submitting our bodies with its five senses to God.

Bringing Heaven to Earth Through Agreement

What is the prayer of agreement? It is more than simply clasping hands and saying, “Brother, let’s agree on this together.” The prayer of agreement is more than what we simply verbalize. It has to do with our heart’s attitude. We must first agree with God, and his command to love one another.

Scriptural Declarations: Israel & the Middle East

7 Declarations for 5776 & Beyond

Biblical Basis for the Voice of the Lord:

God still speaks today! Are you listening? What are you hearing?

While we agree that the canon of scripture is closed, we believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. What He did before He continues to do. One of these ongoing activities is that of “communication.” The Holy Spirit wants to speak to each of us personally.

Celebrating the Hebrew New Year 5776

We have now entered into the Hebrew New Year of 5776! The Ten Days of Awe is a time when many prophetic believers receive revelation for the new year. Below I highlight some of the things the Lord has been speaking to me – including the coming harvest, increased hunger for the Word, dreams fulfilled, and harvesters released.

Compassion Compels Us to Action

Thus has the Lord of hosts spoken: Execute true judgement and show mercy and kindness and tender compassion, every man to his brother. And oppress not the widow or the fatherless, the temporary resident or the poor, and let none of you devise or imagine, or think evil against his brother in your heart (Zechariah 7:9-10).

The Role of Dreams in Christian History

Dreams have had a profound role in the Christian church since it’s beginning. Last month I explained how understanding dreams is rooted in Hebraic history, and today I’m going to expand on that to show the rich heritage of dream language and revelation bequeathed to the Christian church throughout its history.

Praying from Victory Not Towards It!

If you missed Part 1 of the teaching on Praying from a Victorious Perspective, click here to read the article. This topic continues to rest upon my heart and soul and I continue to give it much prayerful thought. So hold on to your seat as I unpack another layer of my musings.

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?

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.

Praying from a Victorious Perspective

It Is Finished!

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

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.

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”.

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.
