Sometimes the greatest prophecies come in the midst of the most unlikely circumstances. Following Israel’s Babylonian captivity, the remnant that saw the majesty and splendor of Solomon’s Temple likely found it difficult to believe Haggai’s prophecy when he said: Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son […]
In the course of ministering to His people, the Lord often allows tokens or expressions of His grace that helps identify individuals He desires to bless.

It was quite invigorating to recount the many historical events that transpired in Zion, Illinois at the turn of the 20th century. There remains a well of healing and a forerunner anointing […]
Long ago, Israel’s King David prophesied a generation that would seek God. Psalms 24 outlines this prophetic word and the prerequisites to participate. Those with clean hands and a pure heart and have not lifted up their souls to falsehood will become a generation of God’s people that genuinely seeks Him. He said: Who may […]
