Dear Ones: Powered by God! We are in the throes of an intense spiritual war. This war cannot be won by using the world’s weapons. We need God powered weapons to defeat the minions of darkness and their evil weaponry. Our Father knew what tools we would need to destroy the works of the enemy.…

Crossing Over
My child, you are entering unfamiliar territory. Yes, even as the children of Israel crossed over the Jordan, so are My forerunners crossing over into a new place. It may seem strange at first, but look closely and you will see footprints. I have gone before you. My footprints are to be markers for you…
Endurance and Encouragement
Dear Ones: Endurance and Encouragement! That is what we need today. The enemy comes to separate people according to gender, race, ideologies, and even sports teams.

Wisdom’s Ways
Dear Ones: Wisdom’s Ways! In 1828 Mr. Webster defined godly wisdom this way. “Wisdom is true religion; godliness; piety; the knowledge and fear of God, and sincere and uniform obedience to his commands.” Wisdom is a pathway that leads to a place called “peace.” She is also a tree of life to those who grasp her…

If you listen with your spiritual ears, then you will hear Him saying these words today, too. The Lord does not change His mind on such important issues. Hebrews 13:8,…
The Lord Looks
Dear Ones: The Lord Looks! Yes, nothing in creation, especially on earth, is hidden from His sight. He searches the hearts of everyone looking for those who truly seek Him. In Zechariah’s vision of the lampstands and olive trees, it is revealed that the lampstands represent the eyes of the Lord. Zechariah 4:10, NKJV, explains,…
Desire of All Nations
Dear Ones: Desire of All Nations! This is one of the names of Messiah, Jesus Christ. God says He will shake all nations until they truly desire the coming of King Jesus. In Haggai’s day, there was a Temple in Israel. But today the Body of Christ is the living Temple where His presence resides.…
A Tree of Life
Dear Ones: A Tree of Life! Healing power is able to be released through your tongue: your words. To the ones who receive them, it is like eating from the Tree of Life. This is because the Spirit of Life is released when you speak the truth of the Word by the direction of the…
