I invite you to get a beverage, get situated, and hang on. There’s much going on in the world, and much that needs to get said as we go forward into these days prophesied in God’s Word. Ready? Here we go.

Mainstream Christians are not viewed well these days, for the most part. They/We are certainly distinct from those currently persecuted, tortured, and martyred … [Read more...] about For The Love Of God – Part 2

It happened again: I had a stack of notes, made over several weeks, ready for this month’s article then got a clear understanding in my spirit that I needed/we need to focus on Kingdom vs. religion. That adhering to any man-made religion will never equate to correctly living as an occupant of God’s Kingdom, as rightfully expected by the King of kings. Here in the USA, the … [Read more...] about For The Love Of God – Part 3: Kingdom VS. Religion

How often Christians post 2 Chronicles 7:14 (CJB used here) on social sites, yet completely miss who God is speaking to and what His requirements are: “...then, if my people, who bear my name, will humble themselves, seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.” Almighty God is speaking to His Ekklesia, … [Read more...] about “There Is No Political Solution to A Spiritual Problem” (– Steve Quayle)

We were energy independent and top exporter of cleanly … [Read more...] about Perspective, Proportion And Propaganda

We need to remind ourselves that God is evermore with those who are His sons and daughters called by His Name and that we are to … [Read more...] about We Need A Miracle

Some people sense impending snow, rain, or a storm brewing. Add visual evidence or a change in temperature or wind velocity, and it’s a safe bet that some measure of precaution and heed should be taken. My hope here is to provide factual information to and for those with ears to hear for the time we’re in. Some of what you learn may be like nothing you’ve heard before and … [Read more...] about What’s Really In Your Heart?

It’s stunning, to me at least, that the famine Yahweh refers to in Amos 8:11-12 isn’t an absence of the Word of God, but the inability of some to hear His Truth breathed into His Word by His Holy Spirit. They cannot, do not, hear the Word the way God intended it. More on this in a bit.

I increasingly see 2 Timothy 4:3-4 examples on social sites in … [Read more...] about The OTHER Famine in the Land
