First of all, for those who don’t know who I am it is important that I point out that I am a white, American male. However, I am one that was born and raised on the mission field of Peru, South America, and no doubt that affects my perspectives. Secondly, I have an African, unofficially adopted son. Thirdly, my extended family is very mixed with seemingly all races, and I myself performed the wedding ceremony for two, white nieces who married black males. Lastly, I am one that champions a message of social reform, and I am always looking past the obvious and looking for root causes.
Read More"Texas, as you pass through the waters I am with you. I am raising you as a pulpit for the nation."
The Lord has been speaking to me about Texas as I have watched the news stories of the intense rains and severe flooding of this state that had formerly experienced extreme drought. In the last two years they have had consecutive once-in-every 500 years floods, which tells us they are very, very unusual rains.
Read MoreI have been having a repeat vision of the Father standing up from His throne in an enraged state. The scripture with it every time is Psalm 78:65,66.
"Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, And like a mighty man who shouts because of wine. And He beat back His enemies; He put them to perpetual reproach."
I believe we have entered an extended season where this is a manifestation of just such a time. You know, Father is very, very patient. He is an observer of processes and He is so very interested in what people, powers and principalities do when He just let's them assume He doesn't see something or is limited in His ability to respond.
Read MoreA swirling revolutionary wind of reformation from heaven is about to descend on us in May and we will be under its' strong grip for the next 5 months. For many of us it will feel like decisions are being made for us and the shifts, changes, adjustments, placements and displacements will seem virtually out of our control. Faith, trust and worshipping God are the appropriate response and preparation for this season. This will be at a personal level, at a church level and at a national level. We are so out of order at every level that the Holy Spirit is coming in to bring order out of chaos. In many instances it will look like He is first bringing chaos out of order- but that would be a misread. Much of the "order" that exists is just the stale status quo. The status quo is about to be broken up in every area and in every way. Church is out of order, state is out of order and in many ways we are out of order.
Read MoreThe Azusa Now event signified the arrival of what I had previously seen as a great blue wave. That was a wave of revival and revelation that will reverberate a long time. I now see a great red wave coming in for Passover and there is a RED wave alert associated with it. Right up front let me state that this RED wave is nothing to be afraid of and nothing to dread. God forbid that I would ever be used to frighten His kids in a season where He has determined so much victory and advancement for us. This RED wave is about how the blood of Jesus is going to be taking over matters through the rest of 2016 and some of what that will look like.
Read MoreAt various times throughout history, Christians have filled stadiums, packed-out key locations, and coordinated events involving millions, yet none have seemed to lead to a sustained move of God. Many were important events in their own right, but didn't translate into an actual movement. It's important to know that, whether you're able to attend or not, I believe what will be released at Azusa Now on April 9th in the Los Angeles Coliseum will be different. A convergence of the ages will come into full synchronicity and will mark a change to life as we know it.
Read More“The day is near when I the Lord will judge all nations! As you have done to Israel, so it will be done to you. All your evil deeds will fall on your own heads.” Obadiah 1:15 (NLT)
Even as my heart goes out to Brussels, Belgium and the many victims of another senseless jihadist terrorist attack, yet I am stirred in my spirit to note the fulfillment of scripture that is taking place. It is well documented and established, Europe’s rising anti-semitism often disguised and hidden by its’ “Palestinian compassion” posture. What Europe is presently experiencing is exactly Israel’s reality.
Read MoreThere was quite an upset in the 50th Super Bowl as the Denver Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers 24 -10 at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. The Broncos, with white horses on their helmets, defeated the imposing, Carolina Panthers who proudly wore their black panthers logos. The winning team was led by #18, 39 year-old Peyton Manning, and MVP #58, Von Miller. The halftime show, considered controversial by many Christians, creatively promoted love and tolerance with rainbow colors throughout and a black pride tribute.
I'd like to explain why events like this one can be a valid way of extracting a message from God. Romans 1:20 tells us that the “invisible things of Him” are seen and understood by the things that are made. Luke 19:40 tells us that “the rocks will cry out” with the revelation of who He is.
Read MoreLast night while at worship at Higher Vision Church here in Valencia CA I had an amazing vision. I first saw an immense blue wave coming in and I instantly heard that it was a 50 ft. wave. I then saw a figure in yellow that was surfing and coming in on that wave. I knew instantly that it was the Lord. As I looked to His face I saw eyes of burning fire. I knew the fire in His eyes was love. The Lord was within the coming wave but I was then able to see the crest of the wave itself. Myriads and myriads of angels were coming on the wave. I then saw the wave crash onto Los Angeles and I knew everything was about to change with this invasion as the blue water crashed in and seemed to go everywhere.
Read MoreToday is 1/11 and a time of rapid acceleration begins today. The window of 11/1 to 1/11 was important for taking steps and stands of faith. That window was about Faith and this window is about Acceleration into promises and rewards. This will be an exciting time with incredible change happening very fast.
Read MoreTrump, the Presidency, Muslims, the Economy, and Justice
We’re entering another phenomenal year of unprecedented kingdom advancement. Many markers tell us that 2016 is a very special year. It’s a Leap Year, a Presidential Election year for America, and a most unique Year of Jubilee. 2016 also comes at the beginning of what is forecast to be the biggest El Nino weather phenomenon ever. Furthermore, this is all taking place in an era of renaissance in the knowledge of God and in the age of the restoration of all things (Acts 3:21).
