7 Days of Declarations: For Healing the Land, Restraining Evil and Releasing the Promise
For the days in which we live, we need to kneel before the Lord our Maker in worship and unite in agreeing prayer and the power of declaration in Jesus' Name. With this is mind, I have brought together some of the most established leaders in the Global Prayer and Prophetic Movement to bring us "7 Days of Declaration" after the model used by the prophet Daniel where he prayed three times each day: morning, noon and evening. Will Ford III is a minister and author, passionate about cultural transformation. He travels throughout the U.S. and other nations speaking on intercession, reconciliation, [...]
God Is Good—No Matter What
I had what you might call a “divine appointment.” One morning, the Holy Spirit interrupted my thinking with the strong sense that I should leave the house and drive over to a local commercial establishment called The Factory, where I would meet somebody. I was reluctant to stir myself; I was feeling kind of down, and it seemed as if it might be a waste of time. But the Holy Spirit was persistent, so I went out the door just the same because I have learned that these things often prove to be from God. The Factory is a handful of upscale [...]
Running to the Anchor of Hope in Uncertain Times
We are living in crazy and uncertain times. Perilous. Unpredictable. Fearful. Everything that can be shaken is being shaken. The bigger the storm, the bigger the anchor that is needed to keep the ship secure. Hope is the anchor that holds in the midst of any situation, trial or storm—no matter how severe it gets. “For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 NASB I am personally convinced that all of the hills and valleys I have passed through in [...]
Holy Spirit, You Are Welcome Here!
“And you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” (Acts 2:2 NASB) Oh, how I love the Holy Spirit! He makes Jesus real! He makes the Father enjoyable! I roll out the red carpet to this precious Dove of God every day. I say, “Holy Spirit, You are welcome here!” In these days of observing and celebrating Pentecost, we want to welcome the Baptism of the Holy and Fire. Send Your fire, Lord! The Holy Spirit is the One who connects us to heaven. Without Him, not even Jesus could have known what the Father wanted Him to say [...]
Transitioning with Hope Brings Transformation
When you find yourself in any kind of transition, especially a prolonged one—like the one we are currently experiencing from the COVID-19 virus—it can seem too hard to bear. You just do not think you will make it. You wish you could go back to the way things used to be before all of this pain started. The pressure can be intense, and you feel squeezed from every side, stripped, unprepared. Yet a time of transition is taking you somewhere. Although the passage is narrow, it is taking you from a place of confinement to a place of enlargement. To keep from [...]
Has Hardship Ever Struck Your House?
Has hardship ever struck your house? “The Long and Winding Road” was a popular hit song years ago. I loved the haunting melody, but as a disciple in Jesus, I was sure that my path would be smooth and easy. Was I ever wrong! My life has not circled a cul de sac, but it seems to have steered off the primary highway and onto a trail leading to who knows where. It was a road I was unfamiliar with and one that I was not expecting. Twelve or more years were filled with winding roads and an unfair share of trauma along [...]
Prophetic Perspective on the New Era
The questions I am frequently receiving in this season have prompted me to provide prophetic perspective on the New ERA I believe we have entered. These questions sound something like this: "What comes next?" "Where do we go from here?" "What does this 50-Day Divine Reset require of me?" "Can we just go back to what we knew?" Change is upon us no matter what! We are in the midst of one greatest defining moments in recent global history. WWII left a global impact with the realigning of nations and the birth of the nation of Israel. The terror attacks by a few [...]
Revelatory Gleanings: A Journey with the Holy Spirit
“Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.” - Daniel 12:3 (NASB) These words from the prophet Daniel have been illuminated to me in a fresh way this year: they are my new life verse and demonstrate what I am called to release in this hour. The need of the hour is for INSIGHT! Let us consider some of the promises for those who walk in this dimension. In the backdrop of dark night, “those who have insight will shine brightly…like [...]
