If we are going to have a message that is relevant to our times, we must understand the times. For this reason we need to evaluate the significant events of our times, such as the recent elections from a spiritual perspective. They were, in many ways, a barometer of the spiritual condition of the nation at this time, as well as a precursor of the direction in which we are headed.

 It was said by many that these elections were the most important in their lifetime, which was not an exaggeration. However, we can expect every election from...

This is an update on the bulletin that Mike Bickle, Jack Deere, and I released on October 18 concerning Paul Cain. After a few hundred emails and letters, which were considerably less than I was expecting, it seems that Paul has been off of the spiritual radar scope for so long that there was just not much interest in this situation. Therefore, I do not plan to post any more Special Bulletins on this matter, and will only do so if there are extraordinary circumstances which require it.

Paul Cain has been used mightily by the Lord to touch many lives in our times. He is esteemed by many around the world as a major prophetic voice and as a spiritual father. It would be hard to estimate the number who have been healed, delivered, or saved through his ministry. We have especially benefited from his friendship and ministry in too many ways to count. It is therefore with great sorrow that we publish the following.

In February 2004, we were made aware that Paul had become an alcoholic. In April 2004, we confronted Paul with evidence that...
