Son, sometimes your obedience will make life harder instead of easier. Life in the Kingdom is not a formula that will make life work in an orderly fashion. I do my greatest work in the haphazard daily grind of life. In the end, my purposes are accomplished in my order. But the process of walking

My sons of old walked with me in such ways that they could declare a thing and it was done. “And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, ‘As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my

Son, how long will you choose to live under this cloud of oppression? You have been waiting for your joy to return. It will never come because joy comes from my presence alone. Any substitute you devise will be temporary and unsatisfying. You must break through the dark clouds that have hovered over your life.

Being called to leadershipson, requires you to carry the burden of others through intercession. It means you will feel what others feel. You will literally know their anguish. It means total identification with the sins and struggles of others. That is the type of intercession I have called my Son to do. “For we do

Son, I want to let you in on an age old strategy of our enemy. He has no new methods because these three strategies have worked well for him for literally thousands of years since he fell from heaven. He seeks to defeat and control my sons and daughters through: 1) the lust of the

Son, whatever I set you free from I automatically give you an anointing to set other people free from the very same thing you were a victim to. I not only deliver you from what the enemy has done in your life, but I actually give you an anointing in the area you used to

Son, there are times I instruct my sons and daughters to do things that confront the natural laws they have come to live by. These are times to move to another dimension in your relationship with me. I told Moses to speak to the rock to get water; I told Elijah to call down fire

Many of life’s situations can cause you to despair, my son. However, you can have peace even in the most difficult crisis, because with each challenging situation, I extend a measure of grace which allows you to navigate those deep waters. Look at these words from Psalm 107:28-30: “Then they cry out to the Lord

Son, I am teaching you to walk based on covenant, not contract. Living your life based on contract means you will do things based on whether others fulfill their part of the agreement. But I am a God of covenant. When I say I will do something, regardless of the cost to myself and my

Son, if you want to have influence in the lives of others and your community and even your nation you must be a source of blessing. You must solve problems where there appear to be no solutions. When my Son’s disciples needed food for the 5,000, he simply instructed them to give them something to

Son, it is important for you to realize you live in a war zone. Every day I see casualties of this war. Many of my sons and daughters live as if they are tourists instead of soldiers. If you only knew how much the enemy of your soul wants to destroy you and your destiny.

Son, sometimes obedience is costly for my followers. I may ask you to walk a narrow path laden with pitfalls before the light can break through. My Son’s obedience cost him his life, and in time each of his disciples paid the same price. When you follow me there is a cost. My son Moses

Son, when it seems like I am most absent, I am doing some of my greatest work in and through you. My promise to never leave you nor forsake you did not mean you would always feel I am there. You must recognize that the enemy of your soul seeks to convince you that I

Son, when you hurt, of course you want the hurt to be removed. You want to feel better. And I desire you to seek me for all of your needs, especially when you are hurting. However, there is a higher place to go in your pain than just toward the removal of it. Your real

Son, I sent my own Son to earth for an assignment no one but me understood. From everyone’s perception but mine, the outcome of his life was a disaster. The disciples’ hearts were broken and they each died tragically for their faith in my Son. However, his life accomplished my purpose. The call I place

Son, I want you to know that what you are doing during your brief time on earth is going to determine the level of responsibility you will have in my eternal kingdom. Some think that we will be sitting around singing Kum Ba Yah and twirling our thumbs. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Son, do you recall my first encounter with my son Moses? I spoke to him through a common bush. Sometimes I speak through strange things. I told him to take off his shoes, because where my presence is, that place is holy. Remember that son. Because my presence is right there in your home with

Son, what you are seeing all around you are individuals and even whole nations that are building upon faulty foundations. When there is a crack in a foundation, that small unprotected opening will grow greater and greater. Debris will penetrate every available crack, piling up deterioration. When my sons and daughters open their lives up

Son, adversity is my currency for maturing a son or daughter to know me intimately and move my heart. The very thing you ask me to change is the thing that is making you the son that blesses me and others. Without these crises, you would fall into complacency and self-satisfaction. You would not seek

Son, many think that I am against financial prosperity. Actually, I love giving wealth to my sons and daughters who know how to use it and steward it. Abraham and Job were two of my wealthy sons and David became wealthy, too. However, for some, wealth can be a noose around their neck because it

Son, many think that I am against financial prosperity. Actually, I love giving wealth to my sons and daughters who know how to use it and steward it. Abraham and Job were two of my wealthy sons and David became wealthy, too. However, for some, wealth can be a noose around their neck because it

Son, my word is my covenant. I never violate my word. You have learned that covenant is faithfulness in the face of unfaithfulness. To walk that out, one must willingly place “self” on the cross and live instead to benefit me and those you are called to love and stand in the gap for (Ezek

Son, you have been thinking that your faith is too small for the mountain you are trying to move. I want you to know you are wrong. You only need faith the size of a mustard seed to take that mountain, and I can assure you that your faith is way bigger than any mustard

Son, storms have a particular purpose in my nature and order. They bring stress upon the environment. Weak limbs yield to the wind and fall to the ground. My major storms bring down entire trees and those things that have weak foundations give way to wind and rain. In essence, storms reveal the strength of

Son, there is an idol many are tempted to embrace. It is the “Feel Good” idol. Somewhere along life’s journey, my sons and daughters got the idea that if they did all the right Christian things life would work in an orderly and fulfilling way. It is true that a relationship with my Son gives

Son, when my spirit comes to reside in your spirit, light dispels all the dark places of your soul. My light casts out all shadows. Shame can longer abide. Evil can no longer abide. Remember that in my Son is life, and his life was the light of men. His light shines in the darkness,

Son, I made fruit trees to bear fruit. Each tree bears fruit in its own time. For some it only requires one year, for others it may take many years. So it is with my sons and daughters. There is a time for fruit-bearing in every life. The problem is that you cannot determine when

Son, many people are satisfied just to know about me when they could actually know me personally. Many are satisfied to attend their local congregations each week, but they do not know me. Knowing about me does not get one into heaven with me. Even our enemy knows about me. Job thought he knew who

Son, when you were very young and just learning to walk, you bumped into things and you broke a few of your mom’s nick-nacks. She knew this was to be expected. Your parents loved you and embraced this process. I also embrace this process in you, son. There are places where you have fallen, but

Son, notice how I worked among the believers in the early days after my Son returned to me in heaven.Once the Holy Spirit became a vital part of my sons and daughters, I released my power in and through them. They began to move in a high degree of unity. They operated as one people.

Son, Moses had to wait 40 years. Joseph had to wait 13 years. Naomi waited 10 years. Abraham waited for decades. And my sons of Israel had to wait 400 years. Sometimes many years pass before my hand is clearly visible. Those who move ahead of my perfect plan often birth “Ishmaels.” Abraham had to
