A couple of years ago the media coverage of a few shark attacks made it seem that the waters were churning with killers on a rampage. Millions fled the beaches out of fear and a great many have not yet returned. What really happened is that there were fewer newsworthy stories that summer than normal. The shark attacks caught the public’s interest, so the media rode this story for as long as they could, dramatizing every attack more than what normally would have been covered. The perception that was the result of the magnified coverage was that shark attacks had...

VANCOUVER: I saw the city of Vancouver become a major port for hospital ships. These were sailing all over the world, but primarily to Asia, and South and Central America. This region of Southwestern Canada will soon become one of the great missionary bases in North America, particularly for reaching China and the strategic nations of Asia. Many great healing ministries will rise up there, and some will move there to make it their base. Another bridge for missionaries to cross over into these Pacific rim nations will be Western Canadian businesses, which will rise up and...

I was praying about our upcoming Harvest Fest Conference, when a trumpet appeared in front of me, turned, and was blown right in my face. I knew immediately that this is what the Lord is about to do--the church will soon receive an "in your face" message from heaven.

The great advances that have been taking place in Africa, Asia, South and Central America may seem to be cooling off a bit, but this is just a rest and consolidation before they begin another great thrust forward. We are soon going to see great spiritual awakenings in...

In recent years a number of ancient heresies have begun sweeping through the church again, deceiving thousands, even sidetracking whole movements. These are the very same deceptions that tried to seduce the first century church, which much of the New Testament was written to combat. They gain inroads by the most subtle, seemingly innocent ways but quickly begin to erode the very foundations of Christianity to the point where those who continue in them are actually "severed from Christ" in the very way that the Scriptures warn this will happen. As we read in I Timothy 4:1-6:
