    Discerning the Times, Part 58
    by Rick Joyner

    If our theology of the kingdom is correct, then a biblical worldview will essentially be a kingdom worldview. Jesus came to preach the kingdom, and He gave us that same commission. He said that this had to be accomplished before the end of this age could come.

         We must always keep in mind that gospel means “good news,” and that our message is the good news of the coming kingdom, not the bad news that many promote about the prophesied troubles at the end of this age. These troubles will come, and they are written so that we...

    by Rick Joyner

    Possibly the main reason why so many who claim to be born-again Christians do not have a biblical worldview is because they have fallen prey to what Paul warned about in Colossians 2:8:

         Take heed lest there shall be any one that takes you as their spoil through their philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elementary principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

         There is a popular saying that “you are what you eat.” This is not true in the natural. If you only eat...

    Discerning the Times, Part 56
    by Rick Joyner

    This study is not intended to just impart what I perceive to be an accurate perspective of the times, but to address how to discern the times. One of the most important gifts we can have in these times is discernment, which is something I am persuaded that God wants to give to every true disciple. The Lord has also given us simple, clear instructions on how we can grow in this gift. Without it we will be increasingly subject to deception in the times to come. With it the world and our own purpose in it will become less...

    Discerning the Times, Part 55
    by Rick Joyner

    Our New Year’s Conference each year is devoted to discerning the times and receiving guidance from the Lord for the coming year, both for the body of Christ and for all the individuals who attend. The Lord promises that if we will seek Him, we will find Him (see Matthew 7:7). At this conference, we have received some of the most important words to come from our ministry. Many have had their lives radically impacted by them. This year there is a greater desire than ever to know the times—there is a desperate need to have a clear prophetic perspective...

    Discerning the Times, Part 54
    by Rick Joyner

    When I began writing and speaking on current events, I received some negative responses, which I expected. However, I honestly did not expect the many positive responses that I received. In fact, in every way that I think we can measure, it has had a positive impact on our ministry. I did not do it for that, and I honestly did not know if it would actually hurt us, but long ago I resolved that if the Lord would trust me with His truth, I would not let any threat keep me from speaking it. I have tried to keep...
