Crossing Over into the Hebrew Year 5784
2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." We’re at a key moment of transition as we cross into the Hebrew year of 5784! We’re moving out of the old and into the new. Many people don’t pay attention to the Hebrew calendar. But, I believe the Hebrew calendar is God’s calendar. Now, I don’t often delve into Hebrew numerics, but I believe it’s important to understand the Hebrew meaning of the numbers '5784'. Interpreting Hebrew numbers isn’t an exact science. However, each Hebrew number has a [...]
The Great Harvest: 40 Years of Prophetic Words Now Being Fulfilled
Recently, I prepared a concise summary of many of the prophetic words and signs that have come forth over the past 40 years—each of these pointing to the reality that we are living IN the beginning of the Great Harvest—THIS IS THAT! What you are about to read is more of an outline than a detailed article. However, I expounded on each of these points in greater detail in my recent “This Is That” message at the 25th Anniversary Women on the Frontlines Conference in Nashville, TN.

Courage for Tomorrow, Faith for Today, & Hope for a Future
[This article is the Foreword by Kris Vallotton for James W. Goll’s book, Tell Your Heart to Sing Again.] Historically, the church has not always excelled at walking with people through their pain. We know how to rejoice with those who rejoice, yet we often fall short of Christ’s standard when it comes to mourning with those who mourn. Our Savior wept with his bereaved friends at the tomb of Lazarus, yet many Christians today are more likely to respond to tragedy with poorly reasoned explanations, weak attempts to cheer, or dark hints that the mourners should have had more faith. Sadly, I [...]
Praying Your Family into God’s Kingdom
“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” Acts 16:31 You and your household. Wow! There’s a dimension in the spirit, where the head of a household has the authority to open a doorway of faith over their family that gives an opportunity for God to enter the household. And once God gets hold of a family, it affects all the generations to come. I know some of you come from hard backgrounds. But, let me encourage you, despite what’s come before, it can all change with you! Think about it, every Godly lineage had to start [...]
Crossing Over into Prophetic Fulfillment
There are “crossover” periods of time: historically, personally, and in movements of the Holy Spirit. These are times when we move from prophetic promises into prophetic fulfillment. Right NOW, we are crossing over! Scripture tells the story of an important crossing over moment in the life of the people of Israel. Joshua and the people had just crossed over the Jordan River into their promised land and the Lord asked them to place memorial stones. “And the children of Israel did so, just as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, as the Lord had spoken to Joshua, [...]
Be Still and Soak in His Presence
That’s right, be still and soak in His Presence. Imagine for a moment that you could spend a day with Jesus, just the two of you. If that’s too much time to imagine spending with Him, imagine spending only an hour with Him. Imagine that it’s right now, right this minute—just you and the lover of your soul. Just be. Go ahead, soak in His presence. If it helps to put on a quiet worship CD, feel free to do that. You can find Him in so many ways. One of my favorite ways is hiking alone in the woods. When I [...]
Your Prayer Counts: A Noontime Prayer Revival Is Coming
I want to bring you a word of exhortation — this is simple, but simple things can be profound — your prayer counts and your sacrifice matters. Habakkuk 3:2 says, “Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.” We all need mercy, don’t we. In prayer revivals, this scripture is one of the most prayed in all the Bible. I've heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds. Lord, I remind you, I repeat them to you. [...]
