THE RESET AND REPENTANCE In a time of rapidly-evolving change, a need has arisen to be more discerning: a time to be alert to embrace the factors of significance tied to the new season. For those called by His Name, one of those key factors is repentance. Not to be confused with obsessing over trivial […]
The Restoration Shift From the time of the garden fall, the world has been undergoing a process of restoration. As the condition of man digressed, God chose a people, with whom He made a covenant, who would know Him and His ways, whose lives would advance the momentum of this process. What was originally established […]
EVIL REPORTS Grasshoppers. That was how the Hebrew spies saw themselves when encountering the reality of overwhelming spiritual opposition. Yet, it was a reality that had to be overcome in the face of far greater opportunity. Their report, their response to this reality resulted in them not only missing the opportunity, but triggering judgment on […]
DANIEL’S FATHER’S HEART Many have been drawn to the calling of Joseph with its subtle modern-day expectations of apostolic trappings. Yet, with the exception of a remnant, this 21st century mantle will not find fulfillment without a serious grasp of the depths of the heart of Daniel. Few in Scripture were in as close touch…...

The thought seemed to suggest a glimpse into the amassing chaos and turbulence of the times. Jesus, who saw outside the realm of time, […]
OUT OF THE BOX Life is a process. An unfolding. A journey of continual discovery. An adventure. A process of thought. From this process of thought, it becomes a process of action. That’s what God intended from the beginning. That is where the gift lies, the Gift of Life. It requires understanding the order, the […]
THE TIME IS HERE Scoffing at the prophetic has had a long history. During the days of Ezekiel there came a word from the Lord that addressed it head-on. It began with: “They say the visions he sees are for many years from now.” That indictment continued by saying, “But this is what the Lord…...
