Prayer Passion for Souls
“Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:38 NIV It is so important to keep the main thing, the main thing. God always has eternity on His mind and we must have the Gospel of the Kingdom on our minds and hearts at all times as well. We need an infusion of a Passion for Souls! How else are we going to see the Billion Soul Harvest, especially of Youth and beyond, come in? I remember an encounter I had when ministering at Ambassador Auditorium in Pasadena, California when the seer realm opened [...]
3 Ways You Can Flow in the Power of God
Focusing on our need for water, Jesus tells His disciples that if we believe in Him, “rivers of living water” will flow out from within us, from our hearts. “Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” —John 7:38 (nlt) Rivers are a source of life. Entire civilizations have been built along waterways because of the access to flowing water for drinking, bathing, and transporting both goods and people far and wide. As it is in the natural, so it is in the spiritual. Rivers Converging in One [...]
How You Can Discern the Atmosphere of Heaven
With the help of the Holy Spirit, you can discern the atmosphere of heaven wherever you go. Our goal as followers of Jesus is to have a relationship with the Father, just as Jesus has. Like Him, we want to “do what the Father is doing.” But how on earth can you tell what Jesus and the Father are doing? The Holy Spirit helps you discern what God is doing and will show you how to take part in it. He will also help you discern the invisible interference that may surround you at times. Follow Him Wherever He Leads God has [...]
How to Respond to Your Feelings

Only then can you learn to be led by the Spirit and discover how to receive, translate and interpret the language of your soul, or feelings. Grounded in the Word It is essential to a have a good foundation, a good root system of the truth of God’s Word in your heart and mind. After all, unless you are grounded in biblical wisdom, [...]
How Spiritually Sensitive Are You?
How Sensitive Are You? When we say someone is “sensitive,” what do we mean? In many cases, it means that we have to “walk on eggshells” around that person, right? You don’t want to upset a sensitive person because of the potential fallout. In a positive sense, though, it can mean that the person’s sensibilities are fine-tuned to pick up little environmental clues and subtle influences that help this individual navigate through life and relate to others. Extra-sensitive people are “Feelers,” and their antennae are always ready to receive signals. Without thinking about it, they will walk into a room and pick [...]
Experiencing the Emotions of God
Does God have emotions? Yes! And did you know that you can experience the emotions of God? Of course, God does not have fickle feelings and whimsical moods, nor is He influenced unduly by the condition of the worlds He has created. You can be sure that He never experiences PMS (Prophetic Mood Swings)! God does not sit in heaven worrying over our earthly condition, wringing His hands with sweaty palms. I don’t believe there is ever a conversation within the Godhead where something is said along the lines of, “Oh My, what are We going to do?” Yet, in Scripture, we [...]
Worshiping God through Uncertain Times
Today’s world is filled with so many uncertainties! Life seems to be more like a turbulent roller coaster ride with no clear end in sight rather than a nice walk in the park! Many things are not turning out the way we thought they would. We have a lot of choices to make in how we live our lives in the midst of on-going issues such as: COVID-19 • Political Unrest • Chaos & Confusion • Economic Upheaval • Social Media Censorship • Values in Education and many other major issues. I have personally lived through a lot of times of uncertainties. [...]
