Crisis in the Middle East
For more than a decade I have been declaring in many gatherings in many cities of the earth: "While all eyes would be on Iran, watch Syria. Iran will pose a great threat, but the imminent danger to Israel, and the entire Middle East would arise out of Syria." I have warned of chemical and biological weapons being stored up in this rogue nation and how they would attempt to export them to their puppet regime of Lebanon. I have seen a terror that would emerge out of Syria - and now it is right in front of our eyes in ISIS. [...]
Eight Strategic Turning Points – Part 2
Recently, I released Four Strategic Turning Points I have perceived. This is now Part Two bringing you an additional "Four More" Strategic Turning Points. The following is a review of the first four points upon which I will then build and bring the last half of this strategic message. The Middle East - a Boiling Cauldron The over a decade I have been declaring that in 2014, the Middle East would be a "boiling cauldron" where it seemed as though things were totally out of control. But, I continued looking for the promise in the midst of a "time of trouble". Then understanding [...]
The Collision of the Shaking and the Glory
There are diverse views on the End Times, including at least 3 different historical theological views concerning eschatology. Major different voices contend for our attention today, everything from escapism to run and hide, to replacement theology concerning Israel and the Church, to ultimate reconciliation, to the absurdity that there is no literal hell and on and on it goes. In this age of false acceptance - just about anything goes. After all, God is a God of Grace and Love, right? Yes, but He is also the God of Justice and Truth. Let's make sure we keep certain basic truths in place in [...]
Strategic Turning Points
THESE ARE THE BEGINNING OF THOSE DAYS! Acts 4: 29 - 31 - "And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence, while You extend Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus." And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness." We have stepped into the days the Holy Spirit and His angels spoke to me [...]
Angelic Intervention through Intercession
When God hears prayers from His people, He responds. What happens is that He dispatches His angels before, during, and after our prayers. It’s a dynamic, living sequence, repeated over and over: Angels usher in God’s presence and declare His intentions to people. As a result, Spirit-inspired intercession rises from believers. In response to the prayers, God releases His angels to deliver, protect, heal, and strengthen people, to execute His judgments, to reap and to gather, and to do whatever else He wants them to do. Do you think about this when you pray? That prayer you prayed this morning may be [...]
Rumble in Nineveh
This past week has seen the collapse of central U.S. strategies in the Middle East. Ayatollah Khomeini's fateful plane ride from Paris to Tehran in 1979 generated a spiritual earthquake in the region. Current events in Iraq are a similar major shock. The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS - a group spiritually connected with al Qa'eda) have taken over Iraq's second largest city Mosul, as well as Tiqrit, Saddam Hussein's ancestral town. They have stampeded over a half million mostly Muslim refugees who have fled from before the black flags of jihad, The jihadi convoys of captured American Humvees leave [...]
Properly Interpreting Dreams
Where are the Josephs and Daniels for our Day? An Experience in Germany When traveling by train from the Frankfurt, Germany region to Rossenheim in southern Bavaria in the middle of the night, I kept hearing the Holy Spirit speak to me over and over, “Where are the Daniels, the Josephs and the Esthers?” As I have pondered deeply on this word for years, I believe the Holy Spirit is searching. Yes, He is on a quest to find believers who dream dreams at any cost, have a discerning spirit to properly interpret the times, and who learn to intercede out of [...]
Soaking in His Presence
The following article is an excerpt from chapter six of Prayer Storm. Other materials to build on your understanding come from The Lost Art of Practicing His Presence Book and Consecrated, Contemplative Prayer Study Guide. Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. (Matt. 11:28-30 NAS) Resting Around the Ark of God You hear a lot these days in the [...]
