A Godly leader must be:
*  Empowered by love
*  Bathed in humility and
*  Steadfast in authority

A Godly leader must not lord it over their subordinates.  This is Jesus’ command.  A Godly leader invites subordinates to participate in the decision making process, give their opinion, share their experience, ask questions, hear from the Lord and contribute.  A Godly leader must have authority and responsibility.  He or she is responsible for both.  A Godly leader must have the ability to bring correction and if necessary, disciplinary action to their team.  At the same time we must be able to give our team permission to not be perfect.  Mistakes are to be expected, just not repeated.   A Godly leader must be secure and responsible enough to teach their subordinates everything they know so that […]

A Word from Father concerning the USA – February 22, 2013

This morning in my quiet time I asked Father if He had anything to say to me from His Word.  He said, “Yes, son, Amos Chapter 3.”  As I read the scripture my heart sank a little as I realized the theme of this chapter is judgment for sin from God.  As I finished reading the chapter I said, “OK Father, what?”  This is what came.

“Thus says the Lord God Almighty to the United States of America.  Your pride has come before Me as a stench in my nostrils.  Your rebellion to Me is […]

Today all throughout the world we are hearing that revival is coming as a result  of the pandemic.  But what is true revival?  Bill Johnson says it something like this:  “True revival is not another set of meetings.  True revival is when the hearts of the people are touched by the heart of Almighty God and the evidence is signs and wonders and His power demonstrated…it is the ministry of Jesus.
I say that if we are continuing to look for revival from the same perspective as we have seen it come in the past, we may certainly miss it!  Revival begins with me.  It begins within the heart of God’s people.  It begins by singing the old Vineyard favorite, ‘Change my heart O God.  Make it ever true.  Change my […]

Webster’s Definition of RESCUED: to free from confinement, danger, or evil: save, deliver

Stop and think about it. How many times have we been rescued? How many times has Father made
provision to save us from something? Do we always accept His provision for our rescue? Why should
we even consider the subject? Well, perhaps gratitude would be a good place to start. If we are born
again, are we not indebted to God for making it possible for us to have a life-changing relationship with
Him; moving from a life in the flesh to a life in the Spirit; moving from a natural life to a super natural
life? We should be constantly moving from living for ourselves to living for Him. In other words, we
should be putting Him in charge, actually yielding our lives […]

I love the times when God is speaking and revealing Himself to us! There is nothing better than that. Times like that are wonderful seasons in God. I wish we could live in those for eternity. But just as there are seasons on earth – there are also seasons in the spirit.
Most of us would love to have spring or summer all year round. However, winter is also necessary. It is part of the seasons of life.
Without winter, summer wouldn’t be so appreciated. Instead, it would be taken for granted. So, it is in the seasons of God.
We all find out, at one time or another, there are times when God is not speaking. When God seems far away. Times…when God is silent.
Isaiah once declared, “Surely you are a God […]

Behold, a new day is dawning!  Let not the sound of war and discord deafen thine ears to My message;  for I would speak to thee a word of encouragement and would bring thee tidings of hope.

I say unto these, My little children, I have not gone away never to return;  but I shall surely come, yea, even at a time when many shall have become engrossed in the problems of the hour.

Lo, I say unto thee, My beloved ones, do not become centered in the problems of the world; but look up, for surely your deliverance is near.

My ageless purposes are set in Eternity.  Time is as a little wheel set within the big wheel of Eternity.  The little wheel turneth swiftly and shall one day cease.  The bit […]

Webster’s Definition of ‘surrender’: to yield to the power, control, or possession of another upon compulsion or demand; to give up completely or agree to forego especially in favor of another.

I believe this word to be a key to our Christian experience. How does it strike you? It may seem to suggest weakness,
but I believe it is part of our pathway to a powerful life as a child of the Most High God. The depth or completeness of
our surrender to God determines our ability to fulfill our purpose and destiny in God. When I say our purpose and
destiny in God, what comes to mind? Our calling, our ministry or what? If this is what you are thinking then I believe
you have the cart before the horse so to speak. If […]

It is vital to welcome the Holy Spirit into your everyday life! He is the One who connects us to Heaven. Without Him, not even Jesus could have known what the Father wanted Him to say or to do (see John 5:19).

Oh, how I love the Holy Spirit! He makes Jesus real! He makes the Father enjoyable! I roll out the red carpet to this precious Dove of God every day. I say, “Holy Spirit, You are welcome here!” In fact, pause, and declare this right now along with me: “Holy Spirit, You are so desperately needed and You are so very welcome here, right now!”

If you want to know God, you absolutely must get to know the Holy Spirit, who works tirelessly to connect Heaven and Earth.

Getting to Know the […]

The words “Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3, 4” are most often heard when a person is doing a microphone sound check. It is to check clarity, levels and balance. So, it was interesting to wake up hearing these words. It is like a heavenly sound check is taking place. I then heard these words from the book of James, chapter 1, verses 2, 3 and 4.

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” (James 1:2-4)
