When Jesus was asked about the signs of the end of the age in Matthew 24 and Luke 21, He described the general conditions that have now come upon us and gave us three things to do:

     1) stand up

     2) look up

     3) rejoice!

     These are the three main things that we should set our hearts to do each day. We must stand up for what we believe with courage and boldness. We do this by looking up to see the One who is on the throne above all rule, authority, and...

     The American Republic has arisen to become possibly the greatest nation in history in many basic ways. This has not happened without mistakes and tragedies that we must also acknowledge. We still have many flaws. Even so, we have been the dominant economic and military force in the world for over half a century and have rarely used it to dominate others. I say “rarely” because there have been times and places when we have used it to force our will on others. However, there has never been a nation that rebuilds its enemies after defeating them in war...

     Virtually every crisis that the American Republic is now facing is the result of disregarding the Constitution, which is “the supreme law of the land.” The parallel in the church is striking.

     A complicating factor is the general deception. It is so pervasive that few can discern truth. Some of those screaming the loudest about...

     In the dream about the second American Revolutionary/Civil War, I saw that different people were called to go after different strongholds. They received their call by teeing off on a golf course. The thing that “tees you off” the most is a way you will know what you have been called to fight. If there is a deep anger, a provoking of your spirit about a specific evil, then consider this a call of God. It is time to get to your post and do something about it.

     Living waters come from “the innermost being.” Those in...

         No other revolution in history was like the American Revolution. It was led by the wealthiest, not the most downtrodden. Those who signed the Declaration of Independence were among the wealthiest people in the colonies. They had more to risk than anyone, but they did not shrink back.

         The signers of the Declaration of Independence knew that they were risking all that they had, even their lives. However, for two of them it was not just a risk—it was certain that they would lose all that they had the moment they signed. British soldiers were camped right...
