As Wanda and I have traveled the U.S., Canada and abroad we have noticed one consistent theme throughout the Body of Christ involving those who are earnestly contending for the faith that was once delivered to the saints…that is they have been through notable trials, tribulations and refinements. Clearly, we are living in the days […]

Throughout the Body of Christ one word is consistently accentuated to identify our present place in Church history– Transition. I wrote extensively about this subject in my book, “Angels That Gather.” As time progresses, greater clarity is coming into view as to the nature of this shift and how the Bride of Christ should be […]

First-Fruits Bridal Company In his classic book The Pursuit of God, A. W. Tozer wrote, “the simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart.” Although this […]

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.

I found myself heavily involved in two Christian camps, and even being the student leader of a gathering that met every Wednesday with about 300 students, for worship and […]

Who are these who fly like a cloud and like the doves to their lattices – Isaiah 60:8 For sometime this passage has been intriguing. Over the last several months I have often shared it my messages. However, it has now been highlighted in a more pronounced way as a present word, and even an […]

I believe there is a spiritual blessing derived from honoring men and women of the past used nobly by God. It is never our intent to set them on a pedestal or make modern-day icons of them, but simply honor what God did through them. Unfortunately, many of God’s champions have been dissected and scrutinized […]

This past June I had the privilege of preaching a Sunday morning service in the Church located on the old Alexander Dowie homestead. 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 […]
