As I have shared, I have had many prophetic experiences in the heavenly realm. I have met with the Lord face to face several times, but I don’t think there is anything in the Lord or in this life that we can experience like His manifest presence. In almost all my prophetic experiences I was alone, but when I experienced the manifest presence of the Lord with His people there was just something about this that impacted me greater than my personal experiences. I may not know all the reasons for this, but I know the most important reason:...

         The Book of Revelation reveals a harlot church that marries the spirit of the world instead of waiting for Christ as a pure, chaste virgin. As we see in Revelation 18:4-5, a voice will come from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, My people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.”

         Christian maturity is growing up into the Lord. When we become disciples, by seeking Him and His kingdom above all else, day and night, in all we do, we are building our life on the Rock which cannot be shaken when storms come.

         The Lord said the times will be especially troubling for those who “nurse babes” or keep those they are responsible for...

         After the believers in Acts were scattered, they started leading, boldly preaching the gospel, and making disciples. They may not all have been apostles, but they started churches that produced apostles, like at Antioch. This is the nature of Christian maturity. Leaders produce leadership in those they lead, even to the point their leadership is no longer needed by them. Isn’t this the kind of delegation our ultimate Leader; the King of kings demonstrated?

         One of the main warnings the Lord gave us about the end of this age was, “Woe to those who nurse babes in those...

         As the world gets closer to having the ultimate totalitarian control through a one-world government, and with the increasing darkness, every act of faith will be an increasingly bright light. Keep in mind: God does His best work when things seem most impossible to us. Jesus predicted the end of this age to be the greatest time of darkness and trouble the world has ever experienced. Yet He tells His people to “look up and rejoice because your redemption is near” (see Luke 21:28). So, never lose your joy in the Lord and in His kingdom.
