Where Eagles Dare to Fly
Eagles are everywhere in the Old Testament; have you noticed? It’s because God is trying to use their example to teach us many things. He is making comparisons between us and this amazing bird—if only we will choose to rely on His strength for everything. Those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary. Isaiah 40:31 Our all-sufficient Creator does not leave us on our own any more than a mother eagle leaves her chicks on their own. And He cares for us [...]
How to Release Your Prophetic Anointing Everywhere You Go
Today the Holy Spirit in all His fullness is being sent forth into the entire world as believers who are filled with His Spirit release His prophetic anointing, bringing impact and influence everywhere they go. Jesus dispatched His disciples to “go therefore and make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19) carrying the light of the world. Great Diversity of Prophetic Anointing I cannot emphasize enough how big God is. We see an almost bewildering variety of gifts, anointings, ministries, and combinations across the Body of Christ. Yet even with such diversity, everything is under the governance of the same Lord: “There [...]
20 Prophetic Points for 2020
As we enter the year of 2020, clear 20 – 20 vision is vitally important both in the natural and in the spiritual. This requires insight from the Spirit of God and the Word of God revealing the Heart of God. It is neither “near sighted” nor “far sighted”; nor is it “night blindness. Clarity of sight comes from equal deposits of the Word of God and the Spirit of God, combined with hands on experience. 3 Verses for 2020 2 Chronicles 20:2 – “They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, [...]
How Will You Choose to Receive Spiritual Gifts?
Since the beginning of time, the Holy Spirit has looked for people through whom He can manifest Himself. At the time of the Creation, He “hovered” like a hen over her baby chicks (see Genesis 1:2). After the Exodus, Moses said, “would that all God’s people were prophets” (see Numbers 11:29). The prophet Joel foretold a day when prophecy, dreams, and visions would become widespread (see Joel 2:28–29). After Jesus came and the Spirit was given to the Church, Peter announced that the day prophesied by Joel had arrived (see Acts 2:14–21). Today, we are still living in that day and God [...]
Faith Matters! What Are You Believing God For?
Faith matters.Faith is the constant, abiding trust in something.True faith is the constant, abiding trust in God Himself.By that we mean faith toward God, not faith in our feelings, our circumstances or other people, even leaders.True faith is in the present tense as distinguished from hope, which is future-oriented.Faith comes after repentance and is of the heart, not of the mind.Where is Your Faith?Some of us are able to believe wholeheartedly more readily than others.I have been through some major disappointments in my life and I have had to bring those disappointments to God so that He could readjust and refresh my faith.I [...]
Listen! You Need this Vital Holy Spirit Activity
Around the globe I have taken an unofficial survey. I often ask the attendees, “What does the Holy Spirit do? What makes up the ministry of the Holy Spirit?” I always get great answers such as the Holy Spirit is the gift giver, sanctifier, bears fruit, brings conviction, speaks to us, intercedes through the believer, magnifies Jesus, releases dreams and visions and so much more. But one answer I have never heard from anyone anywhere. The Holy Spirit Listens! One of the ongoing activities of the Holy Spirit is listening and then communicating. The Holy Spirit speaks to us what He hears: [...]
Opening Heaven Over Your City
I believe we are entering an apostolic era when open heavens are going to break wide open over cities. There will be teaching, revelation, expression, and experiencing of this on a scale unseen at least since New Testament days, if ever. Homes, families, congregations, parks, hospitals, city halls—all will become “ground zero” for open heaven manifestations. I have faith for this divine realm to be extended over entire regions for protracted periods of time. From all my years traveling in many nations and helping to light fires in many places, and having interviewed and walked with many “fire starters,” I have learned [...]
Dreamers Park – The Adventure Continues
After my wife Michal Ann graduated to Heaven in September of 2008, I wanted to do something special and lasting in her memory. Heidi Baker, of Iris Ministries in Pemba Mozambique, needed a safe place for the hundreds of orphan children that she cares for. So we agreed to build a Dreamers Park playground for her. It was a wonderful success. Since that first Dreamers Park was built, we've been able to build 3 more in Cambodia. These parks give families a place to gather and children a safe place to play and dream again. We've been given the opportunity to [...]
