God Encounters Today

When God draws near, everything changes! Your agenda changes. Your program changes. Your opinion changes. And most importantly, your heart changes. When God draws near, your hunger and quest for greater intimacy with God is forever changed! You desperately need God’s manifest presence. Do you desire His presence more than anything else in this life?

Every one of us goes through dark valleys and troubled times. But in Christ Jesus we have hope. And hope restores in every situation—no matter how dark it may seem. To say that the last year has been challenging would be an understatement for most of the world. On a national level, almost everyone has

One of the most powerful themes I have observed in Scripture is “changing garments.” This principle is spiritual but manifests itself clearly in the natural. As you move from glory to glory and exchange the “old” for the “new,” there is a period of testing and vulnerability once the old is cast off and then

It seems as if God has been conducting a monumental chess game throughout the ages, waiting for the strategic moment in history to make His move. Yes, the playing board has been set and the pieces have been chosen. The call for watchmen is the strategic positioning of His intercessory knights and prophetic bishops being

Walking in the prophetic language of dreams is a form of tapping into the mind and heart of God, and can be an exciting and exhilarating journey.

The Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot, the Feast of Ingathering, is the feast that the Jewish people celebrate every year in the fall, marking the end of the harvest time and representing the shadow of something yet to come. What could it be? Of the three great feasts, this feast has yet to find its

Can a nation be born in a day? When God asks an outrageous question, He already knows the answer; and usually it is to make a strong point. In this case, certainly one point is — “Is anything impossible for God?” And the obvious answer to any student of God’s Word is an obvious, “No!”

Does God’s Word give any clear directives specifically to pray for Israel and the Middle East?

We must be knowledgeable of what the Scriptures

Have you ever felt like things were so difficult in your life that “no one cared” about what you were going through? I have. But the truth is, you always have an advocate — because God C.A.R.E.S. You are never alone. And at His very core — God is good! Keep your eyes fixed on

Nations are being weighed in the balance. These are tumultuous times. Much is at stake right now, and society is rapidly changing right before our eyes.
