    Smoke and Mirrors

      When the Coronavirus first broke out, I kept hearing in my spirit the phrase, “Smoke and Mirrors.”   But not being given anything else to go on, all I could do was wait for further instructions.  Then, when George Floyd was killed and all of the riots broke out, I heard “Smoke and Mirrors” once more—again, without being given any additional information or instruction. Afterward, while observing the fallout from these events, I was amazed by the clear dividing line that was being drawn—not among the unbelievers but among those whom I considered to be committed and mature followers of Christ.  I was simultaneously stunned and grieved to see so many…

    Spiritual Warfare: Evolution and Education

      In our last Workout Session, as part of our on-going effort to map out Satan’s Kingdom, we began surveying the Landscapes of the Terrestrial or Earthly Division of his realm.  Given the amount of territory to be covered in this exercise, it will no doubt prove to be one of the most strenuous ones we have undertaken to date; so strenuous, in fact, that it must be spread it out over the course of four sessions, with… Session 1—Covering the Political and Financial Landscape of Satan’s Kingdom; Session 2—Covering the Educational Aspect of Satan’s Cultural Landscape; Session 3—Covering the Media Aspect of Satan’s Cultural Landscape; and, Session 4—Covering the…
