GEM Missions – Emergency Relief
The Revival of Kindness – Where Every Sacrifice Counts When you hear the voice of the Lord, you always tend to think the message is for right then; and it is. And then time slips by and you recall to your mind (see Lamentations ) the words of yesterday and you realize that they carry even greater weight today. So is the case with this short word I am going to deliver to you. It is so true, that I will never forget the morning when the dove of God came gently to me and opened [...]

Hope that Lights Up the Darkness
God is the HOPE that lights up the darkness. In the beginning darkness covered the surface of the deep. God said, "Let there be light." And there was light. Ever since, God has been lighting up the darkness. In fact, darkness is simply the absence of light. The darker the darkness, the brighter the light appears when it comes. In the same way the natural world is filled with hills and valleys. In fact, come to think of it, you cannot have a mountain-top without at least a couple of valleys on each side. The way new mountains rise up is by [...]
Healing for Your Pain and Hope for Your Trauma
Sometimes you may feel so low, you’re not sure you will make it through. But God brings healing for your pain and hope for your trauma. One Bleak Day I Hit Rock Bottom One bleak day, my EQ (Emotional Quotient) was at rock-bottom. I do not remember how many of my kids were home that day, but I felt so overwhelmed that I retreated to the privacy of my bedroom and began to sob uncontrollably. Before long, weeping even harder, I went into my bathroom and shut the door. What I really wanted to do was to crawl into a hole in [...]
A Contagious Hope: Let God Put a Dream in Your Heart
When was the last time you had a God-given dream? It may be time to let God put a dream in your heart again and give you contagious hope. Joseph and His God-Given Dream “God gave me another dream!” seventeen-year-old Joseph exclaimed to his eleven brothers as they gathered in the early morning light before heading out to their day’s tasks. “Let me tell you about it.” The brothers glowered at their youngest brother. Already they disliked him more than ever. “This egotistical kid is getting on my nerves,” muttered Levi. The men shifted restlessly as Joseph told them some farfetched dream [...]
7 Days of Declarations: For Healing the Land, Restraining Evil and Releasing the Promise
For the days in which we live, we need to kneel before the Lord our Maker in worship and unite in agreeing prayer and the power of declaration in Jesus' Name. With this is mind, I have brought together some of the most established leaders in the Global Prayer and Prophetic Movement to bring us "7 Days of Declaration" after the model used by the prophet Daniel where he prayed three times each day: morning, noon and evening. Will Ford III is a minister and author, passionate about cultural transformation. He travels throughout the U.S. and other nations speaking on intercession, reconciliation, [...]
God Is Good—No Matter What
I had what you might call a “divine appointment.” One morning, the Holy Spirit interrupted my thinking with the strong sense that I should leave the house and drive over to a local commercial establishment called The Factory, where I would meet somebody. I was reluctant to stir myself; I was feeling kind of down, and it seemed as if it might be a waste of time. But the Holy Spirit was persistent, so I went out the door just the same because I have learned that these things often prove to be from God. The Factory is a handful of upscale [...]
Running to the Anchor of Hope in Uncertain Times
We are living in crazy and uncertain times. Perilous. Unpredictable. Fearful. Everything that can be shaken is being shaken. The bigger the storm, the bigger the anchor that is needed to keep the ship secure. Hope is the anchor that holds in the midst of any situation, trial or storm—no matter how severe it gets. “For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 NASB I am personally convinced that all of the hills and valleys I have passed through in [...]
