In the early morning of October 1, 2022, I went into a vision. I saw myself standing, and behind me stood an angel. I was looking at the scene from the outside in, as if watching a movie. As I performed my daily activities in the vision, I was completely unaware of his presence, but he was completely concentrated on my every move and every word that came out of my mouth.

As I watched, I had the knowledge that this angel had been there to aid me, guide me, act on my behalf and work with me, but I knew his time with me had come to an end. All of a sudden, another angel that looked different than the first one came into the scene and stood behind him.

The angel with me extended his right arm behind him as the new angel passed him a scroll. This was done the same manner as when a Track and Field athlete passes the baton to his teammate in a relay race. As soon as he had the scroll in his hand, the angel that was with me flew off faster than lightning!

I was sound asleep, but in my dreams I was wide awake. Oh, listen! It's the sound of my lover knocking, calling! 'Let me in, dear companion, dearest friend, my dove, consummate lover! I'm soaked with the dampness of the night, drenched with dew, shivering and cold.'" (Song of Solomon 5:2)

We can capture the Lord's beautiful heart and, in turn, be blessed with the free gift of His relentless love. It's a remarkable thing to know the heart of God. It's amazing that we, as the very creations of God, can capture the affection of our Creator. It amazes me that although God created the world with a spoken word—although He created us out of dust and then breathed life into us, making us out of nothing—He loves us with a deep affection found nowhere else.  Read more ...

It Is an Hour to Crush the Enemy Under Your Feet!

Earlier in the year, I had a dream where I was being pursued and chased by a demonic principality. In its wake, the earth was being stirring up into chaos, famine, financial recession and tormenting fear. I was running but it was hot on my tail, and I was doing everything I could to dodge its grasp. I felt surrounded and hopeless; everything inside of me was feeling like this was the end, and life as we knew it was over.

Suddenly I heard the voice of the Lord say, "What are you running from? Do you not see what I am doing in the earth right now? Do you not see through the storm? Do you not see through the chaos? And even in the war being waged at your doorstep, I am giving you eyes to see. The hour that is upon the Church is not an hour of fear, nor is it an hour to run, but it is an hour to turn around, pursue the enemy on your tail, crush him under your feet and reveal My glory in the earth!"

On a recent day, I was struggling to maintain my focus and attention on the things at hand. Though I take my responsibilities seriously, and deeply care about the people I reach, there is something else that always tugs on my spirit. It is that unseen realm where I know all truth, goodness, purity, and freedom reside. It is that realm of the Spirit where there is absolute peace and total victory over the darkness.

I think about the many others who feel the same battle in finding some equilibrium in these challenging times. Being assaulted on a daily basis with conflicting reports and so many unknowns, something inside of us just longs to be free from it all. I begin to wonder if the struggle is as real as it feels, or merely an exaggeration of my own unsettled thoughts.

"Now it came to pass when the king was dwelling in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around, that the king said to Nathan the prophet, 'See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells inside tent curtains.' Then Nathan said to the king, 'Go, do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.'

"But it happened that night that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying, 'Go and tell My servant David, "Thus says the LORD: 'Would you build a house for Me to dwell in? For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in a tent and in a tabernacle. Wherever I have moved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, "Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?"... Also the LORD tells you that He will make you a house.'"'" (2 Samuel 7:1-7, 11)  Read more ...
