Toto, We're Not in Kansas Anymore

Greetings in the Lord! This past weekend the Lord put on my heart to go to St. Louis, MO to visit friends in past places of ministry. The drive over was mostly through the state of Kansas, which, with its endless plains and farming fields, was a little less than interesting. However, while driving along the Lord drew my attention to the fences along the sides of the road and brought to my rememberance the fact that Matthew Shepherd had been tied up to die to a fence similar to what I was seeing. I also recalled the movies "Boys Don't Cry" and "Brokeback Mountain" which told stories of hate crimes being committed in the Plains region of the United States. The Spirit said to me, "The people here think that because they can see clearly for miles that they see clearly--but they do not." "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me

Spreading Vine Uprooted for Turning to Egypt

Greetings in the Lord! I hope everyone is having a great Fouth of July weekend! I wanted to share with you a word the Lord gave yesterday, one that pertains to our country's election race as it continues to roll on. It has been given to me before, but I did not have a good understanding of it until now.

It grows well in the abundant water and "became a low, spreading vine." However, another eagle comes (of Egypt) and the "vine now sent out its roots toward him from the plot where it was planted and stretched out its branches to him for water." "Say to them (the vine and its branches), "This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Will it thrive? Will it not be uprooted and stripped of its fruit so that it withers? All its new growth will wither. It will not take a strong arm

Hear the Call--Answer It!

Greetings in the Lord! I wanted to share with you something that occured on Sunday that the Lord is giving more insight into now. On Sunday, two different pastors at different churches made the mention of Billy Graham, both citing in different ways how he was just one man, but had made such a huge impact around the world calling in the lost to Christ. Then when I came home I read a news headline about him on the Internet. On most occasions that would not have phased me, but on that day it jumped out to me as a clear sign, but I didn't have understanding as to what. Today the Lord gives me the discernment that He is getting ready to pass on that great mantle of evangelism to another generation of called evangelists! Praise God! And that's not all--those evangelists will began to retrace the footsteps of Billy Graham as they usher in revival in areas that Graham first led in breakout mass revivals: namely, Los Angeles and New York. I discern we will see masses coming to mee
