Prophetic Words and Teaching

Have you ever watched the movie, "La Bamba"? It's the story about Ritchie Valenz, the young singer/guitarist who died at the age of 17. This young man lived, ate and slept guitar, singing and music. He had a dream and a passion for music. Nothing else mattered to him but music. He even SLEPT with his guitar! But, the fascinating thing - he was a young Hispanic man who didn't speak Spanish, who lived in a little dirt town in the middle of nowhere that no one even knew! There was absolut...

So you are walking with God and have chosen to give Him everything, to answer the call He has placed on your life. Then adversity hits - you job goes away, money runs out and it seems like everything that can go wrong does!

So what do you do? You have tried everything you know to try. You have sought employment and there just isn't any. And what employment that does come along seems to go all wrong. You have reached out for prayer, understanding, someone (anyone!) to listen to you grumble -...

I've been pondering Psalms 23, in particular verse 1.

Psalms 23:1(NKJV) - THE LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Is He my shepherd? To answer that question I began looking at what a Shepherd does. A shepherd tends his sheep. He makes sure they have food to eat, and if the food runs out in one place he moves them to fresh pasture. He tends them medically, putting lotion on their skin to ward off insects and irritants, and to heal wounds. He keeps them safe; warding off varmints of every type...

I have been following the recent events happening in California with the overturning of prop. 8. I see two erroneous errors we are making: 1. We think God is democratic and we can choose how we want to live without consequences, that He will listen to our foolishness and arrogance; and 2. that we can live how we want and do what we want and ignore God's guidelines and not suffer the consequences of our actions.

God does not believe in democracy - He is theocratic! Read Exodus 19:4-6, ‘You ...

I was down at the river today, playing guitar, praying and waiting on the Lord. As I was sitting there God had me watching the fisher birds, you know, those birds that fly along the water, see a fish, dive into the water and catch the fish and then fly back in the air again. When the fish swims where it ought not to swim and isn't paying attention that fisher bird just acquired dinner!

Well, God began talking -- Birds of prey are increasing and becoming more blatant in their attacks. This is...

Have you ever watched the movie, "The Perfect Storm"? It's a movie about a fishing boat that must go to sea and catch fish or risk losing everything. The captain ignores warnings from people and puts out to sea. In the process of fishing they run into a monster storm. The boat survives a couple of massive waves and it looks like they might get through the storm. But then a HUGE wave is coming toward them, the captain utters the statement, "she is not going to let us go ....", the wave overtak...

I was taking a shower and the Lord began talking with me. I have been concerned about our Church (not just mine, but ourchurch!). I watch so many people come to the altars and get saved, and I watch so many of them fizzle out - some with awesome calls on their lives and heavy anointings from the Lord, and they fizzle out. Why? What are we missing? We have "new convert" classes and various other classes - yet they fizzle out and we don't see them anymore. Why?

I published a word not long ago, t...

I talk with a lot of people, hit a lot of websites, go to Facebook quite often. But in all of these things I do not hear people talking about what God is saying in their prayer closets. I hear people talking about a lot of things, playing a lot of games, spinning their wheels on things that really don't matter. But I do not hear people talking about what God is saying in their prayer closets! This concerns me!

In Eze 22:30 God said that He looked for someone to stand in the gap and contend wit...

I just watched Chuck Pierce's prophecy on the buckling highways and had to weep. Last night at prayer (1/14/2009) God released a prophetic word and I didn't want to bring it for it went against what so many others were saying. Tonight I have to bring it, for Chuck's word spoke a similar thing. That word is:
 
"I have released a ground swell of My Glory, says the Lord. This ground swell will shake everything that can be shaken, both physical and spiritual. For you have said we can stop things fr...

Romans 12:2 - Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God

We have two places to be with God - in His permissive will or out of His will. Where do you stand within the will of God? Looking at Romans 12:2 we have three positions within His will - the good position, the well-pleasing and the perfect position. The good position is just within His permissive will, the well-pleasing is a l...
