“The wicked bend their bow, They make ready their arrow on the string they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.” Psalm 11:2

We are staying in a beautiful resort in the desert with little money and waiting on God for a new ministry. At times we feel abandoned by God. 

The Holy Spirit spoke to me last night about how to become impervious to the evil dangers in the world. 

An impervious person is someone who is not affected, influenced, or disturbed by external things. 

He does not need to worry when the foundations of his life are threatened or begin to crumble.

The Christ follower can become impervious like Jesus but it requires a powerful transformation into the character of Jesus. 

Very few are willing to make the sacrifice to live for Jesus and die to self. This requires a believer to give up his independence and control of his life. He agrees to seek the will of Jesus above all else.

The impervious believer puts Jesus first in his life and does not follow the ways of the world.

This a denial of self and concentrating on Jesus through prayer, reading the Bible which is powerful and alive, and listening for the voice of Jesus.

He is obedient to the instructions of Jesus even if they may cost him his life or bring suffering.

The impervious believer lives under the authority of the Holy Spirit and walks in oneness with Jesus. Like Daniel he is willing to walk into a den of wild lions.

We live in the End Times and face a tumultuous future. I want to receive this powerful promise from Jesus: No weapon formed against me shall prosper.  

This becomes my reality by unshakable faith in Jesus and believing in His promises and not what I see with my eyes.

The impervious nature of Jesus is your gift if you are willing to go to any length to please Him!

If you have any questions or need prayers please reach out to me. Jesus is your only hope for the future.

“Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21

I was given the gift of prophecy by God over forty five years ago. I hear the prophetic voice of God consistently and have learned not to take action but to file the words away for the future. The prophesy is usually confirmed by my wife or another believer. 

The gift of prophesy is to speak the words of God about the future of a believer or teach Biblical insights relating to life.

The Bible is composed of one third of prophetic truth and can be trusted unequivocally without question or compromise.

The source of prophesy is the Holy Spirit dwelling in a believer.

Prophesy is for edification and uplifting believers in the Body of Christ. Sometimes the prophesy is impossible to understand so the believer must wait on God to define the meaning. The human mind cannot think like God; we need the mind of Christ.

Prophesy is not a call to action but a warning or future prediction. The prophesy can be about worldly events or future disasters. 

Prophesy should not be acted upon without confirmation within the Body of Christ.

We are not to despise prophesy but to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus. There are many counterfeit spirits at work spreading lies to deceive believers. 

Prophesy has damaged many believers because they have acted on the words of Jesus spoken to them and then found out they were false.

The warning is test every prophesy with the Holy Spirit and value the truth and discard the deceit.

Please contact me if you have any questions or need prayer. This is a difficult subject so look to the Holy Spirit for truth and verification.

“Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,even the Most High, your dwelling place no evil shall befall upon you.” Psalm 91:9

The promises in Psalm 91 are awesome and powerful. What human being could ever turn them down!

The promises come with a condition. The believer must make his dwelling place in Jesus. If you dwell in Jesus you do not dwell anywhere else. The world is off limits to the believer. It is the antithesis of Jesus and the home of Satan. 

Dwelling in Jesus is making Him the cornerstone of your life. This is not about religion. It is building a personal and embracing relationship with the Most High through faith and obedience.

Jesus becomes your go to source for every challenge in your life. The dwelling place of Jesus is nourished and strengthened by prayer, reading the Bible and listening for the voice of God.

The believer who dwells in Jesus has one utmost priority in life. He zealously desires to live in the perfect will of Jesus.

This is accomplished by seeking the blood of Jesus to cover your many sins and asking the Holy Spirit to convict you of anything you are doing that grieves His Spirit. Nothing can stand between or interfere in your relationship with Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is your helper to stay in the dwelling place of Jesus. Live under the authority of the Holy Spirit and seek His omniscient wisdom.

The gift to those dwelling in Jesus!

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.

If you have any questions or need prayers please contact me. This is a very difficult command from God and I have stumbled many times but Jesus is always there to pick me up. 

“One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life” Psalm 27

Jesus told me today that many believers have a luke warm relationship with Jesus because they have never met Him.

I met the Living Christ early in my journey with Him. This was the most terrifying experience in my life. I witnessed His power and glory. From that moment on I was sold out for Jesus.

The challenge is to seek the Living Christ not religion or works.

The first step is to have an awakening to experience the transfigured Christ. We have to personally meet the Living Christ and witness His greatness and glory. When this happens there will be no doubt in the heart of a believer. He will want Jesus over anything else.

Pray for a meeting with the Living Christ. Speak the words “I want to meet you and get to know you.”

Jesus is very accessible. He desires to have a personal and intimate relationship with a believer. He speaks to His people and desires to be very present in their lives.

The block to finding Jesus is the world which is contaminated with darkness. Pray to Jesus to remove the influences of the world in your personality and thinking patterns.

Jesus is not about religion because it is corrupted and will guide a believer into keeping laws, obeying regulations and doing works. 

Jesus did not tell the adulterer to go to church. He said go and sin no more. Jesus sets people free, religion controls people.

The people of Jesus will develop a passionate heart by prayer, reading the Bible and listening and obeying the voice of God.

Jesus seals a believer with the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Jesus and will give a believer access to the living reality of the Most High. He will put you in touch with Jesus in all the moments of life.

Seek Jesus with a genuine desire to live for Him and He will do for you what you can never do for yourself. 

Please contact me if you have any questions or need prayer. I will respond promptly. Jesus is your living reality and He knows you better than you know yourself.

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12

The Holy Spirit spoke this Proverb to me last night and affirmed the importance of taking every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus. He said don’t try to go it alone. Come to Me and I will guide you into the perfect pathway of God.

I have made many decisions in the past without inquiring of God and they all have resulted in disaster. I have learned that Jesus is my only hope for success and the abundant life of the Most High.

Many people make decisions on what seems logical and sounds good. They are trusting their instincts not Jesus.

This is a dangerous way to live and will cause destruction and lead to death.

Worldly thinking brings disaster to a Christ follower. The believer is placing his decisions on human logic and rejecting Jesus.

Jesus is a God of omniscient wisdom. He knows every detail of your life from birth to your end of life on earth. He knows you better than you know yourself and sees all of your weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

If you are a believer Satan wants to steal, kill and destroy and is targeting you with evil intentions. And, we live in the End Times and are facing tumultuous challenges.

If you think you can deal with all this on your own you are living in fantasy.

Jesus has power and dominion over the heavens and earth. The destiny of a human being is in the hands of God.

This is why we need to vigilantly seek the counsel of Jesus in all of our decision making. Jesus is your safety net and protector.

Seek the counsel of Jesus through prayer, reading the Bible and listening for His voice.

Submit your life to the Holy Spirit and live under His authority. If you are a believer the life of Jesus is sealed within you. How can you even think about bypassing the greatness of Jesus and operating on your own power and human logic?

We are flawed people with an inner nature to live for self and defy God. Do not let your inner nature at birth have any influence in your life. We need the powerful protection of God and His infinite wisdom.

Commit your works each day to Jesus and walk in oneness with Him anchored to the Holy Spirit. This will give you the reality and presence of the Living Christ in all the moments of life.

If you have any questions about this subject or need prayer please contact me and I will respond promptly. Thanks. You are very important to me!

“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4

This is a powerful promise from Jesus and comes with a condition. We must delight ourselves in the Lord. Most importantly, the desires of your heart must align with the will of God. 

This is why the priority is to seek the will of God through prayer, reading the Bible, and listening for His voice. 

The Christ follower can find the perfect will of God through a mind that is renewed by the Holy Spirit. The mind of Christ does not conform to the world but to the divine wisdom of God. 

The believer has the mind of Christ and must concentrate on Jesus through the Holy Spirit seeking His good, acceptable and perfect will.

There can be nothing blocking your relationship with Jesus. Pray for the blood of Jesus to cover your sins and seek conviction of anything that is grieving the Holy Spirit.

Jesus keeps His promises. Place your faith in His promises and not what you see with your eyes. 

Jesus desires to give His people the desires of their heart and fill them with the goodness of God.

Wait upon the Lord with unspeakable joy and praise.

He is for you!

Please contact me with any questions about this narrative or request for a prayer. I will respond promptly.

God loves you!

“And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Romans 13:11-12

I have been burdened by God all day over the verses above in the Book of Romans. I have proclaimed several times in my blogs about the importance to take God seriously. Now is the time.

There will be a disastrous earthquake coming very soon followed by more cataclysmic events.

Where are you going to hide when the stars crash on the earth?

We are in the End Times and facing death and disaster. The people of God cannot continue as if all is well. Jesus is alerting us of tumultuous disturbances in the world. This is not a scare tactic; it is a serious desire to help you survive. 

Get right with Jesus or make a serious commitment to live for Him. The blood of Jesus will save you.

Jesus is your only hope for life. He protects His people who are devoted to Him and obedient to His commands. 

Jesus was with God from the beginning of creation. God gave Jesus power and dominion over the Heavens and Earth. Your destiny is in His hands.

Now is the time! Reach out to Jesus and find wisdom, peace and protection.

Jesus is above all things, in all things and above all things. How can you argue or deny the greatest power in the universe?

Please contact me with questions about this alert or if you need prayers. I am here for you!

“No one comes to the Father except through Me”

John 14:6

The Holy Spirit spoke to me last night about how to get on the highway to Heaven and make progress to your final destination.

The gift of heaven comes by making a decision for Jesus. It is very simple and eternal.

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

This places you on the highway to Heaven. However, you cannot coast into Heaven without changing your life. 

The decision for Jesus causes a mere mortal to have a “born again” transformation into a new creature in Christ. Jesus requires you to die to self and live for Him. 

If you are not willing to let go of your independence and personal rights it is impossible to live in the presence of Jesus or experience His greatness and glory.

Jesus designed the highway to Heaven to be a personal and embracing relationship with Him. He wants to share His life with a believer and fill him with His powerful attributes. 

He offers strength, wisdom, joy and protection. These gifts come from heaven and are unlimited.

Jesus speaks to His people and seals a believer with the Holy Spirit who is the life of Christ. He is the portal to the reality of the Living Christ but a believer must agree to live under His authority and sever the ties to the world. 

The world is contaminated and will ruin your journey with Jesus.

The highway to Heaven requires a believer to turn away from darkness and be covered with the blood of Jesus. The blood is your ability to face Jesus blameless and without any shame or condemnation.

Jesus becomes the most valuable thing in your life through prayer, reading the Bible, and listening for His voice.

The highway to Heaven brings the reality and power of Jesus into all the moments of life. 

Seek the will of Jesus above all else and He will give you a life you can never achieve on your own!

Please contact me if you have questions or need prayers. I will respond promptly. Jesus loves you!

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

John 10:10

Satan is a living reality and he has a powerful army. His mission is to destroy the lives of believers and discredit the influence of Jesus.

Forty five years ago God called me into the office of a prophet and an intercessor. 

At the time I had no idea what I was getting into until the intercession interrupted my life. I learned that intercession is filling up the flesh with the afflictions of Jesus for His body, the church.

I have learned through the Holy Spirit about spiritual warfare and how to fight off Satan.

The most important thing to remember is a Christ follower has the power to rebuke Satan with the authority of Jesus. Speak directly to Satan. Tell him he has been defeated by the blood of Christ and must flee from your life or from the person you are standing in the gap for to be set free.

To make this as simple as possible the intercessor is utilized by Jesus to bring down Satan’s strongholds over people in bondage. Jesus also desires to target worldly organizations functioning with evil intentions. The world is filled with darkness. Just look around!

Jesus works through the Holy Spirit dwelling in a believer to shatter strongholds. This is agonizing work without any public acclaim. Intercession is a pure ministry between Jesus and a believer with no ego involved.

Satan’s goal is to destroy Christ followers. He hears all your words and sees all of your decisions. Satan has assigned a team of demons to look for your weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

The demons will entice you to enter into darkness. If you allow the thoughts of Satan to remain in your mind sin will be conceived and eventually worked out in your life. 

The safety net is to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and flee from Satan’s deception. 

The Holy Spirit is your protection against Satan. Submit to the authority of the Holy Spirit and no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

The Christ follower needs to realize he is personally involved in an invisible war with Satan and must be equipped with the armor of God.

Stand firm with Jesus by meditating on the truths of His teaching, seek the righteous of Jesus, walk in the pathway of peace, pray for unyielding faith, live in oneness with Jesus anchored to the Holy Spirit and boldly speak the promises of Jesus to rebuke the darts of Satan.

Spiritual warfare is a difficult subject to understand. I have been thrown to the ground and injured by demons. I have been physically paralyzed by them and have suffered temporary mental blackouts. 

If you have any questions please contact me and I will respond promptly. I would also like to hear your spiritual insights in dealing with the evils of Satan. He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world!

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” Matthew 22:38

I have learned after many years of walking with Jesus that you love Him through obedience to His voice.

I build my love for Jesus on faith in His promises and not what I see with my eyes.

Jesus has explained to me if a believer loves Him through his emotions he will have an up and done relationship and never experience His powerful presence.

Loving Jesus is doing His will which can be very costly, unpredictable and lack any human logic. I have lost every material thing in the world and have lived poverty stricken suffering ridicule from others. 

I have been taught that Jesus wants to have a personal and embracing relationship with a believer. He wants His people to live in His reality.

He wants to talk with a believer and fill him with His powerful attributes like strength, wisdom and protection.

I hear the voice of God every day. He is alive in my life and teaches me His truths. He keeps His promises.

Jesus knows me better than I know myself. He sees all of my many sins and vulnerabilities in life. I have learned to pray for the blood of Christ to cover me and to turn away from darkness. He reminds me when I stray away with a jolt or upsetting incident.

I concentrate on Jesus through prayer, reading the Bible and yielding to the Holy Spirit.

Early in my journey I read Bill Bright’s book on the Holy Spirit. He said if a Christian desires the reality of Jesus in his life he must submit to the authority of the Holy Spirit. I invited the Holy Spirit to have control of my life and I was amazed to experience His guidance and presence in all the moments of life.

Jesus reaffirmed to me that He knows me better than I know myself and He leads me into the order and simplicity of the Most High.

The price of Jesus was very costly to me. I lost everything but gained the precious life of Jesus!
