I felt the Lord asking me to share with you this illustration (in the photo) He gave me urging us to not give up the fight, as we pray for our nation and the world. Lord, give us courage to stand in Your mighty power. Ephesians 6:10-20. To not grow weary or give up theContinue reading “Help Us Stand, Lord”

Pray We Will Fight the Right Fight
Prayer. It’s the only way through this. The problems we are facing, as earthly as they feel, they are spiritual. Ephesians 6:12. As much as those who persecute feel like the enemy, they are not. We know who our enemy truly is. Let’s band together and fight. With so many lies promoted in the media,Continue reading “Pray We Will Fight the Right Fight”
Guardians of What Matters Most
Often, what seems so important to us in the moment isn’t actually what matters most. I had a dream that I was watching over a people as “guardian of the heart of what matters most.” But I had grown weary in the task. They didn’t want the Lord’s protection, and they didn’t want me. HeContinue reading “Guardians of What Matters Most”
On Love’s Wings
How are you doing these days with love? In what ways has the enemy used you to weary, slander, attack or hurt someone you love? How have you allowed the troubles of this world to consume your thoughts and determine how you feel and act? Has the enemy stolen your peace and joy? Do youContinue reading “On Love’s Wings”
Fighting to Follow
The more we surrender to Christ and walk as one with Him, the greater resistance we will experience not just from the world, but from within the church. Have you felt it yet? We have a real enemy. But it is not the verses that don’t fit into our agendas. And it’s not the brotherContinue reading “Fighting to Follow”
Courage to Stand
Mighty Warrior. When the Lord called Gideon that, it felt like a lie. He’d just been caught in the act of hiding his hard-earned wages so the new guys in charge wouldn’t seize everything his family needed to survive. Judges 6:1-12. Aren’t we God’s people? Isn’t this the nation He founded for Himself? How couldContinue reading “Courage to Stand”
Going Coup Coup
This weekend, Burkina Faso fell to its second coup this year. In fact, six coups in two years have rocked West Africa and surrounding countries, mostly due to pervading poverty, hunger and uncurbed violence by Muslim extremists, warring tribes, and national militia. These coups have yet to “fix” the problems of West Africa, and as IContinue reading “Going Coup Coup”
Haitians Starving, Trapped by Violence
Gang violence in Port au Prince has left hundreds of innocent civilians dead, many more wounded, nearly 300 kidnapped for ransom, and about 17,000 displaced from their homes over the past few months. Since an intense war over the neighborhood of Cité Soleil began last week, thousands of Haitians are now trapped without help. ManyContinue reading “Haitians Starving, Trapped by Violence”
Bar Deaths in South Africa
At least 19 have died and numerous others are injured after two mass shootings Saturday night in South Africa. The first occurred in a tavern in a semi-rural area of Pietermaritzburg, where four died. Then four hours later, in a bar about 500 km north in Soweto, 15 were fatally shot. All this occurred justContinue reading “Bar Deaths in South Africa”
Satanist Leader Resigns
Riaan Swiegelaar, co-founder of the South African Satanic Church, resigned from his position in May, shortly after an astounding display of unconditional love by Christians “when I was a monster.” One couple showed him Christ’s love by responding to him with kindness and grace. And just after a radio interview, where the satanic priest announced,Continue reading “Satanist Leader Resigns”
