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. [...]
Finding Rest for Your Souls
In the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 11 we find a timeless message of comfort and peace. These verses provide a source of inspiration for individuals seeking solace and rest amidst the challenges of life. Let’s delve into the wisdom contained within the writings of Matthew 11:28-30 and explore its significance in our modern world. “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 [...]
Your Natural and Spiritual Senses
God is an emotive God and every dimension of the fruit of the spirit is distinctly filled with emotions. So, it is important to approach emotive discernment with balance, understanding, and revelation concerning the realm of natural and spiritual senses. Hebrews 5:13-14 says, “For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.” One of the things that I always highlight about this verse, is that it doesn’t say good versus evil, but that the mature have the capacity [...]
Holiness and the Power of Conviction
The conviction and conversion experience is the work of the Holy Spirit, sometimes experienced as dramatic and sometimes gentler in nature. In every case, an encounter with the Holy Spirit arouses an emotional response. And such encounters are not reserved for an elite few, such as the Old Testament patriarchs; they are for everyone. Jesus guaranteed that all generations would have access to God through the gift of His Holy Spirit. Remember what He told His disciples before His crucifixion: “I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the [...]
Closing and Opening Doors
Closing Old Doors Many people in the body of Christ are in a season of closing doors — because you must close one door before you can open the next door. Closing the door may relate to a relationship, it might be a business situation, it might be a partnership dealing, or it might be related to a church alignment. No matter the arena of life, closing a door is important so you can pass through a new door into the fulfillment of a future promise. Isaiah 22:22 says, “The key of House of David I will lay on his shoulder; So [...]
