I have a strong sense in the Spirit that the Lord is raising up, imparting and commissioning a Joseph Generation of young adults and youth to flood the land.  Many of the great revivals have been launched through previous Joseph Generations and the season we are in is no different. Note the following characteristics that…

It may be my age and those friends of mine, which for the most part are close to my age, but it seems I’m getting “worn out” faster than anytime before.  I refuse to get old, in fact I intentionally reject the idea of being a grumpy old man (maybe there’s a movie title there…

The book of James was written to Jewish believers that had encountered persecution for their faith.  During a recent mediation on the first chapter, eight tests of faith are given to these saints as a means of encouragement, so that they continue to press on. This writing is in rough draft form, but I believe the…

Here’s my Bible reading for today from Hebrews 11.  I trust it will be a blessing to you and encourage your faith today. Faith is ALWAYS NOW, in its hope for unseen things  Now Faith imparts a testimony – which is mine?  A good or a poor testimony? Sacrifices offered “by faith” are “more excellent”…

Paul wrote to a young pastor words of encouragement in his first letter to…

During the years I was in elementary school, one of the most dreaded events was the spelling, arithmetic or geography bees.  Some of you may remember where the teacher would choose two captains and they would select those present in the classroom.   When it came to sports, there was little fear or anxiety about not…

June 29 One of the characteristics of Daniel was that he was a man of prayer.  But he was also a man of the Word.  Hosea wrote that people perish for a lack of knowledge.  Knowledge that comes from the Lord, from the Spirit and the Word is the best and most enduring kind of…

June 30 A verse I pray for myself and each of you is a favorite found in Daniel 11:32.  “. . .the people who know their God will display strength and take action.” This is an incredible motivation to “know” God, not just “know about” Him. The setting is a prophetic declaration when a deceiver…
