The Era of the Open Door
Psalm 24:3,4 “Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully."We are not only crossing the threshold into a New Year, but into a New Era. This is an entire new period of time where we move from the church age to the kingdom age. We are going into a season of the Open Door where discernment will be required.We need to discern which door we go through as we’re presented with many options. How we close [...]
Women Work Wonders
Luke 1:37, 38 "For with God nothing shall be impossible." Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.In the superhero culture of today, we love people who seem to be bigger than life. In recent times, we have observed the emergence of female characters such as Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Wakanda Princess, Storm, and so many others!But, before there ever were these fictitious cinematic, captivating characters, we had multiple life giving role models of Biblical wonder working women. These are the authentic heroines of the faith who worked and birthed wonders! [...]
What Happens When 50 Prophets Get Together?
Numbers 11:29 “But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord's people were prophets, that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!” During the last several months, I’ve had the honor of gathering with prophets and apostolic leaders from around the world! One such gathering was the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE) chaired by Cindy Jacobs of Generals International. ACPE was founded 24 years ago by C. Peter Wagner. I’ve had the distinct honor of serving in this council since its inception. We started as a group of 25 prophets but now we’re up to [...]
The Power of Thanksgiving
Psalm 100:4-5 “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations”These are iconic verses. Yet, we often don’t practice them! It’s so easy to enter God’s presence with praise and miss a key step: thanksgiving. We don’t enter God’s presence with praise; we enter His presence with thanksgiving!But why? Well, when we start our prayers and worship with thanksgiving, it changes our perspective; it takes us into a new realm of the spirit that ushers in genuine praise. [...]
The Rise of the Mordecai’s
Revelations 2:13 “‘I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.” We don’t wrestle against flesh and blood but against spirits of wickedness in the heavenly places. Still, at times, there are specific geographical areas where the presence of evil dwells in a compact manner.Revelation 2 references “Satan’s throne” as a physical location on earth. I believe, at times, there are geographical locations where demonic entities concentrate to advance the will of the enemy. One such [...]
Wars and Rumors of Wars!
Matthew 24:6 “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.”In the last days, there will be wars and rumors of wars. However, Jesus says not to be alarmed. These things must come to pass before He returns.Right now, many people, that I come across, are worried about the emergence of World War III. They’re afraid global events may spiral into a major world war. I sense and share their concern, but I don’t believe it will happen that way.I believe we’re headed into multiple, regional wars. [...]
The Suddenlies of God
Malachi 3:1 "I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty." Revivals happen suddenly. They often include unexpected people, in unexpected places, being used by God in unexpected ways. These revivals can appear overnight as God quickly returns to His temple. Radical Revival Coming to College Campuses Earlier this month, I had a visitation with God. He showed me a coming outpouring of the Holy Spirit on college campuses. These outpourings were happening all over the world! I saw massive [...]
Israel: the Promise, the Pattern, and the Call to Prayer!
Amos 7:2-3: "When they had stripped the land clean, I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, forgive! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!” So the Lord relented. “This will not happen,” the Lord said.Here, Amos sees the destruction God intends for Israel and cries out for mercy. God hears his prayers and relents! Amos teaches us the power of intercessory prayer. Even the judgments of God can be turned back by earnest prayer!Amos stood in the gap for Israel, but we're called to stand in the gap for our families, cities, and nations. However, there’s one nation all believers are called to pray for: Israel.Standing in the Gap for [...]
