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. If you stand for absolutes, you are accused of being old-fashioned and not progressive enough. Even some Christians accuse other believers who hold to absolutes of having a “religious spirit” and of not understanding true love, mercy, and grace. Well, I guess, count me in! I, for one, am here to say [...]
10 Distinct Pictures of Christian Reflective Prayer
The Lord is truly revealing fresh insights into these ancient truths. As you know, books have often been my mentors in my journey in live and ministry. The following is a combination of gleanings of years of research and time just spent with the Father. The David Model: Considering God’s Creation and Might From the Life of David Imagine as the shepherd boy David spent many nights under the stars; looking, gazing, pondering, musing on creation and God the Creator. Creation is where most all of us first encounter God. The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows His handwork (Ps. [...]
Releasing Holy Spirit Empowered Prayer
"I have heard you," replied Jeremiah the prophet. "I will certainly pray to the Lord your God as you have requested; I will tell you everything the Lord says and will keep nothing back from you." (Jer. 42:4 NIV) What Is Spirit-Empowered Prayer? It Is Letting the Holy Spirit Take Lead All who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14, NASB) As in a waltz or dance, you let the other take the lead and gently nudge you in the direction you are to go. We learn to yield to the "now promptings" on [...]
A Vision of The Temple Mount, A Menacing Dragon, And A Season of Increasing Shakings
On 21 October, 2014, during our worship in Succat Hallel, I saw a vision of a huge black dragon that was circling in a menacing manner above the Temple Mount here in Jerusalem. Each time it breathed fire from its mouth, violence was released on the Temple Mount. But I knew this time it was planning something really much larger. Suddenly I saw in the heavens two words: “NOT NOW”. Then a huge foot descended from heavens and pinned the dragon to the ground. Next, the Lord reached down and put shackles on the dragon’s feet and imprisoned the dragon in the [...]
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”. In my own journey over the past decade I have given myself to learning about hope. In this journey, I have brought forth messages on Hope Ambassadors and Finding Hope: Rediscovering Life After Tragedy. You can find both of these audio messages in our Media section.One of my eventual [...]

Israel: God’s Prophetic Calendar
This article is an updated excerpt of "Chapter 8 - Israel God's Prophetic Calendar", from the book The Prophetic Intercessor. If you wish to know more on this subject, purchase the book here. Although Israel as we know her today is only a little more than sixty five years old, the Jewish nation is actually one of the oldest on earth. These people and their land reach back to the time of Abraham's prophetic pilgrimage and the covenant promise of God to him and his descendants (see Genesis 17:4-8). But after what many considered to be a silence of two thousand years, this [...]
What Does Justice Look Like?
Over the past 2½ years God has had me on a journey of learning “What Justice Looks Like.” For 14 years I have learned the power of Compassion and God’s heart for the poor. In January of 2011, I made my first trip to Cambodia and Thailand to begin my discovery of understanding justice for the most vulnerable. I had the great privilege of traveling with Patricia King and XP Mission to see first hand what human trafficking looks like. We visited slum communities and villages where traffickers target the poor and vulnerable for their prey. Due to the level of poverty [...]
