In the coming year, we will experience God in ways that will transform our environment, communities, and nation. It is my belief that God is up to some great things in the body of Christ. There have been many changes in America and throughout the world, but God will be glorified in and through all of them. El Shaddai will appear in the lives of those who stay near him, walk in faith, and remain strong in the study of God's Word in this year, according to the Lord.
The Lord recently reminded me of a prophetic dream that I had several years ago which I had recorded in my journal. As we transition into this new year, and as time moves on, expect a dramatic overhaul in the natural world, as well as an unprecedented outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the supernatural realm. I don't believe that this dream was limited to its original time frame, because prophetic dreams are not bound by time zones. Just like prophetic words, some (but not all) are timeless, and continue to unfold throughout the years.
Life is a journey, filled with moments that shape us, challenge us, and remind us of God's presence. Along this path, we experience profound encounters with grace—times when we clearly see God's hand at work, receive divine direction, or undergo deep personal transformation. These moments are what we call spiritual markers—signposts that remind us of where we've been and how far we've come in our faith journey.
Leadership is about justice and justice is using that leadership (influence) for the good of others. This has been my leadership methodology for years and it has been tested in the fire! Years ago, I was grieving over being taken advantage of over and over again. I hurt because I was surrounded by takers who were self-absorbed in their own needs and never genuinely caring for me. I would trust their words of loyalty, commitment, and partnership until I was slapped in the face with sudden, heartbreaking betrayals.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33 The Word of God says, "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Now, what is the kingdom of God? The apostle Paul tells us in Romans 14:17 that the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but "righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."
Do you ever regret reacting in anger? It's important to remember that anger, as an emotion, is not sinful in and of itself. Ephesians 4:26 says, "In your anger, do not sin." But if left unchecked, anger can lead to sin and become a stronghold for the spirit of anger. There are ways to recognize if the spirit of anger is at work in your life and have victory over it. Once recognized, you can learn how to break free from this destructive spirit of anger and replace it with the authority of God's Holy Spirit.
One of the greatest revelations of my life is: I can choose my thoughts and think things on purpose. In other words, I don't have to just think about whatever falls into my mind. This was a life-changing revelation for me because as Proverbs 23:7 says, "As he [a man] thinks in his heart, so is he." I like to say it like this: Where the mind goes, the man follows. Now God is concerned about the hidden man of the heart, which is our inner life. Our inner life is what we think about. And like the scripture above says, the way we think determines how we live and who we are. That's why we need to think about what we're thinking about.
The concept of creative destruction has long shaped the economic world. As innovation disrupts old business paradigms, new opportunities arise, paving the way for growth and prosperity. This principle extends beyond the marketplace and carries deep spiritual meaning. As God's people, we must recognize that crisis and upheaval are not simply times of loss—they are divine moments where new blessings and promotions can emerge. This is your opportunity to break out, rise to the top, and thrive!
Have you ever wondered about words of knowledge and how people receive this gift from the Holy Spirit? As an evangelist, I have seen this gift operate in the United States and across the globe! First, let's name what a word of knowledge is: A spiritual gift from the Holy Spirit that allows believers to receive divine knowledge about a person, event, or circumstance, for the sake of the Kingdom of God!
Do you realize that joy is something you choose? There is a time for mourning, but it is not healthy on a daily basis. If gone unchecked, it can become a downward spiral of self-focus. Oppression is not a fruit of the Spirit. It takes no faith to be depressed. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. Galatians 5:22 God has given us joy in His Presence. It takes a God-focus to enter into His joy. Jesus said the joy that I give you no man can take away. Even with the cross before Jesus it was "the joy that was set before Him" that gave Him the strength to endure it.
