I Corinthians 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: I am assuming that you understand the use of the gift of prophecy. God uses this kind of communication at times to speak to His people.… Continue reading Prophecy

Sign language
Matthew 16:3 And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not [discern] the signs of the times? It Includes: Words, Feelings, Pictures (vision), Music, etc. God also uses physical signs to… Continue reading Sign language
Co-operating with destiny
We are learning to walk with God in our destiny. The provision needed to fulfill our destiny is deposited in the heavenlies, ready for us to appropriate. II Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which… Continue reading Co-operating with destiny
The language of vision
Visions are God’s Pictorial Language Numbers 12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will speak unto him in a dream. John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto… Continue reading The language of vision
What is love?
As God speaks to us, we realize that we must have more love. There are many Scriptures, especially in I Thessalonians and I John, which show us the character and the nature of the love that God wants us to have. A careful study of these Scriptures will reveal seven keys to more love. At… Continue reading What is love?
No love
I Corinthians 13 has been called “the chapter on love.” It could also be renamed “the chapter about no-love,” because it deals with our limitations and the way they affect our love. It speaks of limited and pointless knowledge, as well as ministries which are ineffective. A man once defined salt: “Salt is what makes… Continue reading No love
Immune
When the prophet Micah saw what would take place in the end time, he saw it more immediately as it would happen to natural Israel; but he also saw into the future when God would deal with His people in the end time. He said, Zion will be as a plowed field. Micah 3:12. To… Continue reading Immune
Double trouble
It is very important that we learn how to think as God thinks; perhaps not as deep, but after the same patterns and channels of thought. We need the Lord to teach us His ways, to teach us of His love. I do not know how Adam thought about things, but I do know that… Continue reading Double trouble
Thunderbolt
Chaziz (pronounced kauseez) is a Hebrew word which expresses many things, and it occurs in the first verse of Zechariah 10. Ask rain from the Lord at the time of the spring rain—the Lord who makes the storm clouds (chaziz); and He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man.… Continue reading Thunderbolt
Double
Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” And he said, “You have asked a hard thing.” II Kings 2:9, 10a. We are familiar with the story of Elijah and his wonderful… Continue reading Double
The victory and the promises of the Lord
When God promises us a double portion, it means that there is not only a portion of grace, but also a portion of judgment. Sometimes grace can come to sustain us and help us to endure things, but judgment comes many times to loose us in areas where we need to be set free. How… Continue reading The victory and the promises of the Lord
Am I burned up?
These are the days of spiritual fire, the baptism of fire that burns out the chaff. If you will accept the fire, the Lord will give it to you and will work it in you perfectly. The first part of you to go through the fire should be your head, so that you cannot reason… Continue reading Am I burned up?
Worthy of the kingdom
It is amazing how the Lord sometimes emphasizes a truth to our hearts which may have seemed insignificant; but suddenly its importance is magnified in that moment when the Lord gives it emphasis. The Lord is now bringing a truth before us which has previously escaped our attention. Now it is suddenly magnified and we… Continue reading Worthy of the kingdom
The peril of strange fire
The Lord is bringing revelation about the ministry of fire and the experience of fire in the end time. In Leviticus, chapters 8 and 9, you can read about Aaron’s consecration to the high priesthood, and the instructions the Lord gave concerning the sacrifices which were made to consecrate Aaron and his sons. In chapters… Continue reading The peril of strange fire
Judgment- past and present or future?
Although believers in past generations were able to participate in the fire of the Lord in a measure, the experience is specifically reserved for those who will enter into it today. When Aaron’s sons presented strange fire before the Lord, they were struck dead (Leviticus 9 and 10). In the end time, one thing that… Continue reading Judgment- past and present or future?
Who starts the fire?
God anoints a true foundational ministry not only to present the truth of the Scriptures, but to seek every way possible whereby He can instruct you how to experience that truth. He does not preach a beautiful experience that is unattainable; his main objective is to set a goal before you in the Word and… Continue reading Who starts the fire?
The continual burnt offering
The observances which the Lord established in the Old Testament on a rather physical plane of worship pointed to something deeply spiritual and seemingly intangible. A believer is unable to apply them spiritually unless God reveals what they symbolize. In the New Testament, the Lord used the parables in the same way. He called attention… Continue reading The continual burnt offering
Baptized into one body
Many of us do not realize that there is a difference between what people have voiced in receiving the Holy Spirit and the original experience that is recorded in the second chapter of Acts. And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven… Continue reading Baptized into one body
The soothing aroma to the Lord
On the day of Pentecost thousands were added to the Church. They were the firstfruits. The word “firstfruits” refers to the season’s first ripened fruit. People who live in cold climates eagerly look forward to the first strawberries in early spring. After the snow melts, the tender shoots of rhubarb which emerge from the ground… Continue reading The soothing aroma to the Lord
The harvest of first fruits
“Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me. You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed.… Continue reading The harvest of first fruits
An offering by fire
The sacrifices described in the book of Leviticus illustrate what God wanted eventually in the realm of spirit for His people. The children of Israel were rather primitive in the sense that they made animal sacrifices. They were doing what God told them to do, but they were accomplishing their worship on a low physical… Continue reading An offering by fire
The brightness of a burning fire
For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!” Isaiah 4:1. Initially, this prophecy was fulfilled in the days of the exile in Babylon, after many men had… Continue reading The brightness of a burning fire
Preparation by fire
“Over all the brightness of a flaming fire…for over all the glory will be a canopy” (Isaiah 4:5). The Old Testament brings forth truths concerning the Feast of Pentecost for our time, and challenges everyone who believes the Scriptures. The fire of the Holy Spirit which is the essential anointing behind every servant of God.… Continue reading Preparation by fire
The days of fire
These are the days of fire. Expect to see more judgments in the earth. Expect to see the flow of creativity from God’s people on an unprecedented scale—in the psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, in the singing and making melody in their hearts to the Lord, in the flow of prophecy and the Word.… Continue reading The days of fire
Song of Solomon
SONG OF SOLOMON 1:1-2 This is the first song of a series of six. It is one song, in six parts, it is the greatest love song ever written. It reveals How the Love of God changes our life: it reveals the pattern of how His love is developed in our lives. It describes our… Continue reading Song of Solomon
The authority in His name
This message will present another legal aspect of our position, of our privileges in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the fantastic provisions that He has made for every need—not only things that we consider needs from a human viewpoint, but the needs that we have now as we appropriate His perfect eternal purpose to bring… Continue reading The authority in His name
We have the key
In considering the things that God has provided for us, it is very important that we talk about the treasury, the vault where all the goodies are stored. As we enter into a Scriptural study, we will begin to understand what spiritual access really means, and we will become aware of the fact that we… Continue reading We have the key
The administrator
When we consider our glorious heritage in the Lord, the first question we might ask is, “How big is the estate.” We want to know what is there for us. In their advertisements, large savings and loan companies try to impress us with their size and their security, “We have fifty million dollars in assets,”… Continue reading The administrator
The trust fund
The Bible is a book of promises and covenants, of laws and principles, of judgments and pardons. Our faith and our future is based upon all of these. May the Holy Spirit illuminate these messages, so that you may know what is very legally yours. When the heirs of a large estate gather to hear… Continue reading The trust fund
The refining fire
The Gospel of Mark begins without any introduction or any explanation. The Spirit of God moved through Mark to write no preliminaries, nothing about the birth of Christ or His early, tender years, no explanation that He is the Son of God. Mark simply starts, The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son… Continue reading The refining fire
Death by fire
Many present-day believers have embraced the concept of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire, but very few actually know what it is about. The Pentecostal movement did not understand the baptism of fire at all, but even those who have come into greater revelation seem to have no more than a glimmer of… Continue reading Death by fire
The persecuted
This last Beatitude is so contrary to human nature that it is difficult to understand what it is all about unless you see it from God’s viewpoint. As you read this, your attitude will change toward involvement for God, toward persecution and reproach, toward being an oddball—the kind of person who is so different that… Continue reading The persecuted
The peacemakers
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the sons of God. Matthew 5:9. To be a peacemaker is to be almost like the old gun called the Peacemaker. It was called the Peacemaker because in the hands of a few men, the wild West was subdued. It was a rough one, a forty-five… Continue reading The peacemakers
The pure in heart
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8. This is a simple little statement in many people’s thinking: “If I’m pure when I die, I’ll go to heaven and see Jesus.” But none of these beautiful Beatitudes are simple statements; they are involved with very complex principles and doctrines of… Continue reading The pure in heart
The merciful
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Matthew 5:7. What a simple little statement! Mercy does not cost anything, but neither can you buy it. Mercy doesn’t seem to be very valuable until you need it. Then it is one of the most precious things in all the world. It is something you… Continue reading The merciful
Wisdom
We live in a time of real disturbing lawlessness, which according to God’s word will continue to increase as we continue down to the end of this age. God said this about wisdom: ISAIAH 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times. While we cannot change that which is set, that… Continue reading Wisdom
Crossing over Jordan
Those with ears to hear and hearts to perceive will prepare their hearts to take hold of God’s grace that is now coming forth to take us into a great new move of the Holy Spirit. The church is about to cross over into the Promised Land. The crossing of the Jordan represented death to… Continue reading Crossing over Jordan
The need for leadership
“Any areas where we are not dependent upon Jesus are marked for trouble. The trouble will bring us back to dependence upon Him, and anything we are not using for the Kingdom of God we will eventually lose.” We need to understand that no matter what our vocation, leadership is something we need to embrace… Continue reading The need for leadership
We would see Jesus
JOHN 12:21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. We are living in the information age. Never before in history has there been so much information available to the average person. You can log on to the Internet and find virtually… Continue reading We would see Jesus
The glory of the latter house
HAGGAI 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts. GOD SAID HE WOULD REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID AMOS 9:11. In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David… Continue reading The glory of the latter house
Destiny convergence
JOHN 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. Before this world was created there were timelines in the… Continue reading Destiny convergence
There were two trees in the garden
GENESIS 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This simple statement lays the fundamentals of the kind of… Continue reading There were two trees in the garden
Finishing the race
ACTS 20:24 24. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. PHILIPPIANS 3:12 Not as though I had already… Continue reading Finishing the race
To walk with God is essential for survival
Walking in the Spirit is not an optional extra; it is an essential requirement if we are going to survive the next few years. The end-times are not going to be a picnic, as we see the maturing of evil, as well as good, begin to accelerate. The clash between light and darkness will become… Continue reading To walk with God is essential for survival
The transitory nature of this life
HEBREWS 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10. For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. JAMES 4:14 14. Whereas ye know not what… Continue reading The transitory nature of this life
Preparation for harvest
ECCLESIASTES 3:1 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Harvest time comes when the fruit or grain is ripe; it then has to be harvested. If it is not, the harvest can be lost. JEREMIAH 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are… Continue reading Preparation for harvest
Re-digging the old wells
GENESIS 26:18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. Often in our search for answers, we tend… Continue reading Re-digging the old wells
The power of light to transform
JOHN 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 1 JOHN 1:5. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. I JOHN 2:9 He that saith he is in the light,… Continue reading The power of light to transform
The harvest
We need long periods of interacting with and being empowered by the presence and glory of God. Interacting with the manifest presence of God opens up another dimension – a place and presence where we can be touched by God in no other way; it is a place of revelation, commissioning, and empowerment. ACTS 4:31… Continue reading The harvest
Sermon on the Mount
Matthew chapters 5 to 7 record what has become known as the Sermon on the Mount, which includes the Beatitudes. These writings are the foundation on which everything else in the New Testament is built upon. The teachings of Jesus are the foundation stones that Paul and the other writers of the New Testament used… Continue reading Sermon on the Mount
The gospel of the kingdom
MATTHEW 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Jesus clearly said that the Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached to all nations before He returns. What is the Gospel of the Kingdom? The Church is… Continue reading The gospel of the kingdom
Touch him
God is stirring up many hearts for a deep, penetrating meeting with Him. How quickly people can come into the presence of the Lord today! Because this is the great and marvelous day of the Parousia, it is much easier to break into the presence of the Lord than ever before. When you read the… Continue reading Touch him
The Manchild
To understand revelation 12, we need to see it as a revelation of a principle, more than the revelation of a specific event. When we understand the principle, we will realize it has worked time and time again, even though there will be an outstanding fulfillment of it in the end time. The interpretations of… Continue reading The Manchild
Work the living works
When you say, “Have faith,” are you actually saying, “Have hope”? Hope reaches out to the future and believes that God will eventually move in a situation, and this hope is often mingled with faith. But now there has to be a change. We must believe for the tremendous works of God to be wrought… Continue reading Work the living works
The day of fire and rain
God has been speaking a great deal about the ministry that is to come forth in the earth. There is much we can learn from the Scriptures which tell us about the ministry of Elijah. First, in Matthew 17:1–13, we read about Elijah’s appearance on the Mount of Transfiguration. And six days later Jesus took… Continue reading The day of fire and rain
The barrier to loves flow
It is often a struggle to believe that God really loves you, although you may be convinced that He loves others, for you see His love flowing to them. Many problems stem from this mistrust of His love: a basic mistrust of the love the Lord has for you. Hebrews 12:5–8 tells us: “Whom the… Continue reading The barrier to loves flow
Principles of displacement
If we were to try to create in the natural realm a picture of the human spirit, it would not be at all like a ghost; it would be more like a sponge. When hands are laid on people, it is not their minds, but their spirits that do the absorbing. They absorb the blessing… Continue reading Principles of displacement
The redemption of pain
All that we have inherited from Adam through our DNA, that has brought destruction into our life, shall be displaced, as the DNA of God expands within us. The enemy has lied to us for a long time about our value and worth. He has caused us to believe that our identity is the broken… Continue reading The redemption of pain
