    While They Were Sleeping…

      Admittedly, it has been quite a while since I posted anything new of real substance here—the last two such items being Smoke and Mirrors in July 2020, and A Line and a Net in January 2021. In the former, given at the height of the pandemic and in the wake of George Floyd’s death and the ensuing riots, I warned the Church not to be misled by those events, as they were simply diversionary tactics of the devil designed to foster more division and strife in both the nation and the Church, disrupt the 2020 elections and usher in the globalists’ agenda, while camouflaging just how far Satan’s kingdom…

    A Pause and a Cause for Worship

    In light of the revival that has taken place at Asbury University over the past couple of weeks, I thought it might be edifying to repost what I wrote about worship nearly ten years ago in a post entitled A Pause and a Cause for Worship.  Here it is… After each of our visits, I like to take a little time to ponder what we have been talking about so that I can try to decide where we should go in our next discussion.   As a goal-oriented person, I usually have a very good idea of where that is and just how to go about getting there; but, as is…

    A Line and a Net

      Some weeks ago, while listening to a prophetic word concerning this past November’s highly contested presidential election, two words were dropped into my spirit. The first of these was line, followed a few minutes later by the word net.  When I heard “line,” I was immediately reminded of what I had written last summer in my post Smoke and Mirrors.  There, I had warned believers not to be taken in or deceived by the pandemic and the race riots which were then taking place, because they were merely diversionary tactics of the devil, designed… To create a line of division between believers—to prevent them from forming a solid voting…

    Abraham: Called to Renewal

      In our last episode—Episode #4 of Biopic #1 on the life of Abraham—we learned that following a life-altering, covenant-making encounter with God, when challenged by the Silence of God test, Abram failed miserably.  Instead of taking God at His Word and waiting for Him to fulfill His promises, he gave into the temptation of trying to solve a spiritual challenge through the use of his own human reasoning and fleshly works. Just as Adam had done when he was tested in the Garden of Eden, Abram forfeited his position of Headship when confronted by the Influence Power of his wife and with equally disastrous results.  Here, just as in…

    Abraham:  Called to Wait

      Last time, in Episode #3 of Biopic #1, we learned about Abram’s latest encounter with God.  It came on the heels of his victory over the four Kings from Mesopotamia, his meeting with Melchizedek, and the temptation presented to him by the King of Sodom.  During this encounter, God expanded upon His revelation to Abram, revealing to him for the first time that he would father a son of his own.  Emphasis was placed on the fact that, at this promise of a Son, Abram believed God and his faith was credited to him as righteousness. At the time, God also reaffirmed His promise that Abram’s descendants would inherit the…
