The Book of Revelation, Part 26 - Rick Joyner

“I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 1:9).

      John adds his perspective to this narrative by saying he was our brother and companion “in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus.” In this age, these are always found together with the true companions of the Lord. As we’re told in 2 Timothy 3:12, “all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.”

      Being persecuted is actually the normal state for Christians and churches that are seeking to live godly in Christ throughout the world. Why is it that so many in the West think when they are being persecuted, which is mostly by being falsely accused and slandered, that they have somehow displeased God? It is because this important element of walking with God is left out of the messages of many who preach the gospel today.   

      Our brethren throughout the world are imprisoned, have their properties and belongings confiscated, and are tortured and killed for their faith. To suffer for His name’s sake is not a sign of God’s disfavor but of His favor. It is one of the greatest honors we can have in this life, even if the suffering is just slander and false accusations. As Jesus said in Matthew 5:11-12: "Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."  READ MORE

Be Encouraged! God Has Not Passed You By - Dr. Sandie Freed, Bedford, TX - Apr 21, 2025

"I Have Not Passed You By"

A few weeks ago, I heard the Lord say, "Tell my children I have not passed them by. Many believe they have missed my blessings. They have been praying and waiting for a breakthrough but are becoming discouraged. Tell them to remain patient. I have not forgotten about them."

Dear ones, I know what it feels like to wait on God. Sometimes we are so weary in waiting on God that unbelief attempts to cloud our vision and hijack our faith. I have been one of those Christians who has had God remind me of many blessings coming my way, as I've prayed, fasted, and stood firm... only to have nothing happen. Sometimes it has felt like God has forgotten about me or passed me by! Many times I thought I had missed my blessing somehow.

There have also been days when I have gotten out of bed with high expectations for the day—believing for miracles and breakthroughs—only to experience disappointment at the end of the day. I still loved God and knew he loved me, yet this lingering disappointment would remain that I could not shake.

What do you do when your heart is broken and all hope seems lost? How do you battle the dark whispers from the enemy who says, "God doesn't care about your needs. You're not good enough. You've messed up and God isn't going to heal you. You don't measure up. You don't pray enough. God has turned his back on you because of your sin. You're a loser."?

A thousand fiery darts are hurled toward you, and soon you are convinced that God has passed you by!

After Jesus died -  | Apr 19, 2025 | Mary Magdalene

One of the greatest cruelties—happened to Mary Magdalene.  You will soon understand why her story means more now than ever before.

For starters, Jesus rescued her from what so many women faced in those days. Now she is redeemed and planted into a family of indescribable love.  Things would never be the same.  Her nights of remorse, her days of futility, her emptiness, were now all distant memories.

The next three years were a life she could never have imagined. Crisscrossing Judea.  Hanging on Jesus’ every word. Weeping gloriously over every miracle.  Everyday, she woke up a more powerful and joyous woman of God than the day before. She thought it would go on forever.

Everyday, she woke up a more powerful and joyous woman of God than the day before. She thought it would go on forever.

People use the phrase “nothing could be worse…”  I will use it this way: Nothing could be worse than to be in hell, and then taste heaven, only to return to hell.

On that fateful Friday, it all went horribly, horribly wrong.  How could the One Who called the dead back to life and silenced a storm at sea, be arrested?  Can the One who gave words of exquisite beauty, love and wisdom, be tortured and killed?  No one wanted to save Jesus more than Mary.  She felt  horror and helplessness. 

That night, profound hope with threatened by bitterness and disappointment.  Evil said, “it would have been better if you had never met Him!”  Sleep came when exhaustion became more powerful than sorrow.   She was too wounded and drained to even think about what she should do with her life.

Mary is of special importance to me today, because her testimony is the best one I can think of this Easter. Mary’s miracle is the miracle the American church needs now!    READ MORE

Peter, the day after - by  | Apr 18, 2025 | Good Friday

He screamed and he kept screaming until he could scream no more. Then he fell off a cliff into the abyss of broken souls. The force of his crash could have moved the earth. Fragments lay around him—the new and hideous replacements of his former self. Shame replaced love. Cowardice replaced faith. Fear drove out Hope to make room for the mocking predator. Worst of all, he saw his destiny plunge into a black hole of regret.

This is the day after Jesus died.

To survive, Peter became a robot. He went fishing. It’s what he was programmed to do. Peter went through the motions.  Avoiding feeling, suppressing every emotion.

The difference between Peter and Judas Iscariot is razor thin. The same fever of despair and regret raged in both of them. It drove Judas to suicide. Why didn’t Peter do what the other traitor did? It was because Jesus prayed for him.

Satan told Peter a lie. Peter not only believed that lie, he now embodied it. And, it is the same lie that Satan is telling America right now—the lie that all the good and important things are gone forever.

Whenever those who hate God and America try to enforce a change, they call it ‘THE NEW NORMAL.’ They sold us on ‘THE NEW NORMAL’ of abortion, same sex marriage, and godless education. Their biggest excuse for seizing control was the coronavirus. Something to remember: ‘the new normal’ is always nothing other than the old abnormal, it is just disguised.

Memories tortured Peter. He tried to fight it with all his might, it was impossible not to relive those days. Two mistakes haunted him the most. Thinking he could save Jesus, he swung it at the head of the high priest’s servant, Malchus, who, fortunately had moved just in time, losing only an ear. But his greatest horror was his discovery that he was a coward. He denied Jesus three times. The rooster was still crowing in his spirit.  READ MORE

Apr 15 - Word for the Week -  Treasure Hunters - Rick Joyner

In a world that is falling into increasing deception, we must be resolved to love the truth and to tell the truth without compromise. What makes something a treasure is that it is rare or hard to get. As integrity becomes increasingly rare, we must resolve that it is a treasure we will protect with the utmost diligence. One of the most important ways that we build our lives on integrity is to obey what Jesus said in Matthew 5:37: “But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil.”

      Contrary to His truth, children are often raised today by parents who don’t really mean “yes” or “no” until they have repeated it many times and raised their voices to a certain decibel level. Or, they teach their children that they can change the “yes” or “no” easily with a little pressure or manipulation. Jesus said this was “evil.” By this we condition them to believe that we don’t really mean what we say, and this carries on to them believing later that superiors at work or authorities don’t really mean what they say. Worse, it has carried over so that to them the Lord does not really mean what He says, which is the trap that our first parents fell into and is at the root of most falls since.  READ MORE

 Finding the Path in a "Winds of Change" Season - Nate Johnston, Colorado Springs, CO - Apr 14, 2025

A "Winds of Change" Moment

We are in a "winds of change" moment. Can you feel it? It's not a moment where some things are changing or most things are changing, but all things are changing. This is a moment where the Holy Spirit is moving upon the earth, brooding, shifting, and rearranging us, the church, and even nations in preparation for the harvest.

"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." (John 3:8 ESV)

You might ask, "But doesn't God stay the same?" Yes and no. He doesn't change but he moves. The Holy Spirit is always moving, forever leading us through seasons of change and growth. And in seasons when the "ark" moves, only the seekers and the lovers will move with it, and that reality has never been greater than now. Right now many can feel him summoning us to move with him and leave anything that isn't HIM behind.

This is a moment where the winds of the Holy Spirit are gathering up the battle-weary and broken from the ashes of defeat, just like in Ezekiel 37, where the breath of God brought life to dry bones and caused them to stand on their feet.

"Then he said to me, 'Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live."'" (Ezekiel 37:9 NIV)

It is a moment where the winds of the Holy Spirit are blowing, like in Acts 2, when tongues of fire came upon those who gathered.

"Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting." (Acts 2:2 NIV)

Just as the wind comes and rearranges, just as the Holy Spirit moves and shakes things apart, he is also the Comforter; he is also the Healer. In the same sentence, he shakes the earth and stills it. In the same sentence, he blows upon the seas, creating tumult, then brings the calm.

The Lord Is Lighting Your Lamp - Deborah Perkins, Medway, MA - Apr 6, 2025

God's After the Tabernacle of Your Heart

Early on the first day of Nisan 2025 (Aviv/spring on the Jewish calendar (March 30 on the Gregorian calendar), I felt the burdens and heaviness of God's people who have been walking through unexpected darkness and trials. The enemy has sent unrelenting pressure lately to weary many, causing some to doubt God's goodness.

If this is you, what once felt easy may suddenly seem tedious or overwhelming. You may have little motivation; your soul may feel dry and brittle. The battles with self and sin may have drained you of energy, and the joy of prayer seems to have been snuffed out.

To illustrate this, the Lord took me into a vision of the tabernacle as I prayed. The Old Testament tabernacle is a vivid picture of the believer's heart, each element representing not just a function or progression of worship, but also aspects of who believers are.

To enter the Holy Place—the place of prayer—priests had to first present burnt offerings for sin in the outer court. Sacrificial blood was then sprinkled on the elements within the tabernacle, including the altar of incense (prayer) and the ark of the covenant (the mercy seat). (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

Go Through the Narrow Place - Alane Haynes, San Diego, CA - Apr 4, 2025

Pressing Through the Veil of Our Flesh

Recently, as I was meditating on the reality that Jesus is eternal life (John 11:25, 14:6; Romans 6:23), I went into an open vision. I saw the empty cross, and it was on dry, barren land. Beyond it was a beautiful, open meadow pulsating with life. I walked toward the cross.

As I got closer, I saw Jesus on the cross, but he was slightly transparent, like a veil. It was like he was there, but not there. I could tell that I was seeing it from the eternal realm—what had happened in the past but is still reality now in the spirit. I could see his broken, open flesh. I walked into his body, then deeper through his blood. I was now in the meadow that was vibrant with life. There were lush greens and golds, beautiful streams, and vibrant flowers surrounded by many trees; the air was fragrant and filled with the atmosphere of glory. Then the vision ended.

This vision was straightforward and very descriptive. It was truly more than a vision, because I saw myself going through the body and blood of Jesus and felt the impact. I was in awe and wonder.

It took me a few minutes to begin pondering the seeming dichotomy that we, as believers in Christ, live in.   READ MORE

 The Great Excavation - Amanda Grace, Fishkill, New York - Apr 3, 2025

[Editor's note: Below are the prophetic words that Amanda Grace shared during her recent interview on ElijahStreams. We encourage you to prayerfully read through them and watch the episode right here.]

Intro from Amanda Grace: This last Purim, which took place at sundown on March 13 to sundown on March 14, 2025, was marked by a blood moon, and it is the same for Purim 2026. Purim has to do with divine reversals.

Prophetic word received on March 12, 2025:

Rulings that Will Overturn the Nations

ALL glory, honor, and praise be to the Lord of Hosts, the Righteous Judge, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, who rules from a throne of righteousness and is holy and perfect in ALL of his ways! The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace—and the government shall rest upon HIS shoulders. The Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last, the Almighty comes forth from HIS throne with power and might, and HIS rulings are entering the nations! And to his kingdom there is no end.   READ MORE

The Path to Your Destiny - Karen Hardin - April 2, 2025

When the Holy Spirit brings revelation into a scripture or promise of God, we have the opportunity to pursue it or just enjoy the moment and move on. One, provides a pathway to destiny. The other, a refreshing for a moment.

How many times have we read through the Bible and yet something new can jump out in a scripture we have read a hundred times? Pay special attention to those moments as they are Holy Spirit promptings we should pursue.

Wisdom and insight in the Bible aren’t hidden from us—but much like an easter egg hunt, we have to search for them. One clue here. Another there. Why? Because it's the journey that builds stamina and wisdom in us as we search the scriptures for what He is saying. That is what those insights should do—drive us to the Word to find out more of who He is and what He is saying. The Word will always agree and confirm something the Holy Spirit reveals. If it doesn’t, it was not the Holy Spirit that revealed it.

When God gives us a promise, it doesn’t mean it will automatically be fulfilled. Our destiny is tied to promise, but not everyone fulfills their destiny. Destiny is fulfilled in our pursuit of His call and purposes. It isn’t just handed to us. It requires we grow, and build spiritual muscles through prayer and study of the Word to be able to walk in the new thing He is showing and guiding us into.

Can you love an AI chatbot? - Karen Hardin - March 26, 2025

Today's three articles all deal with Chinese young people's idea of love and relationships. Many focus more on self-gratification over others. Still others use technology to find love and support. Not through dating apps necessarily, but actually becoming emotionally connected to the technology itself in the form of AI chatbots. Its very sad to see how the young people struggle with understanding healthy relationships in China and here in the USA. Again, very informative on how to pray.

In Christ,  
Kevin & Karen

PS - This week our team in Cambodia will provide food relief and the gospel message to some poor villagers. Their conditions are very poor. Pray for hearts to be receptive to the love of God through this outreach and that they clearly see our God as the one, true, almighty God and understand that the demons of Buddhism will never love and care for them.

If this ministry is a blessing to you and you are not already supporting us in prayer and giving, please consider planting a gift as the Lord leads. All gifts are tax-deductible. Thank you!

No More Doom! It Will Be Fuel for the Fire - Sara Whitten, Kerrville, TX - Mar 25, 2025

God Is Carefully Molding and Setting Us

Have you been in distress? If you have, out of the ninth chapter of Isaiah emerges a word of hope for those who have been in distress:

"Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress..." (Isaiah 9:1 NIV).

Interestingly, Strong's Concordance notes the following about the Hebrew word for "distress" (mutsaq) in this verse: "The term 'mutsaq' refers to something that has been cast or poured out, typically in the context of metalwork. It is used to describe objects made by pouring molten metal into a mold, resulting in a solid, formed object..." (Strong's H4164 definition, Usage).

I think we can all recall a time when we've felt "melted" by a season or totally poured out. It's a beautiful thought, however, to imagine those same blistering seasons as the times when God is carefully molding and setting us. God wants to remind us that it's in these times that he "molds" us and "sets" us up for something good—something so good it could only be his design.   READ MORE
