    The Basis of Our Beliefs
    by Rick Joyner

         An often quoted Barna study revealed that more than 90 percent of Americans believe in God and about 80 percent consider themselves Christians. That is encouraging, but what has to be a challenge is that only 6 percent who claim to be Christians have a biblical worldview. The obvious conclusion we must draw from this is that we may have done well making converts, but we are not making disciples. The Great Commission is to make disciples, and this is defined as teaching them to observe everything that He commanded. How can we be a true disciple...

    Prophecies Can Bring Repentance and Intercession - The Prophetic Experiences, Part 12
    by Rick Joyner

         We have been using the prophecies that I made about serious earthquakes and volcanic eruptions coming upon the U.S. West Coast to discuss how we handle such revelations, and how we can expect them to be taken or interpreted by those who hear them. 

         Some seem to think that because people don’t receive the words well, they must be wrong. I think that the Scriptures and history teach us otherwise. We should always be open to correction and listen to the pushback, but it is a mistake to think we’ve missed something because people reject...

    Fear of Man Compromises the Prophetic Message - The Prophetic Experiences, Part 11
    by Rick Joyner

         We will continue to evaluate the way I’ve handled giving the word about the impending West Coast disasters. Of course, these are from my perspective, and therefore, are subjective. Presently, I am being accused of having many different motives for giving these words, all of which I do not consider to be true, so I don’t want to answer them just to be defensive. However, I think they are excellent examples of how we can expect people to react to words like this.

         I cannot understand why anyone would ever want to give a word...

    When Prophetic Revelation Brings Disruption - The Prophetic Experiences, Part 10
    by Rick Joyner

         There are prophetic revelations that come poignantly in a dream, vision, or word. In my experience, these are usually about personal or localized issues that do not have widespread impact or long-term consequences. This is not to lessen their importance, and as with most of what we’re addressing, this is a principle and not a law. There are exceptions to principles, but the above has generally been my experience. Most of the time, major events that could impact nations come as unfolding revelations over time.

          Using as an example my West Coast prophecies of the...

    Interpreting and Communicating the Prophetic - The Prophetic Experiences, Part 9
    by Rick Joyner

         I am taking one of my recent and controversial prophecies about the impending catastrophe on the U.S. West Coast as an example of interpreting and communicating prophetic experiences. Obviously, I have a dual purpose for this. The first is for sharing principles, but I also hope that these prophecies will be heard and that intercession and repentance will greatly reduce what is pending.

         Please keep in mind that I do not claim to be doing everything perfectly or even right. I often second-guess myself and think that I am conveying such things poorly, and I truly...
