We have been reduced to a world that now has only one hope that can keep us from the worst tyranny in history: a revival and an awakening that surpasses all previous ones. We need for the Lord to move as He has not done on the earth before, and that is what He plans to do.

      We need the greatest revival because we have fallen to the ultimate depravity—“calling evil good and good evil” and “honoring the dishonorable and dishonoring the honorable” (see Isaiah 5). As the book of Isaiah continues, this will cause the anger of...

      Martin Luther once said, “A spiritual man does not need a contract, and an unspiritual man cannot keep one.” So, what do we do?

      As we live in a time when true religion, true faith, and true love for God are increasingly rare in the world, we need stronger contracts for almost every agreement. We also need more restraints and consequences for violating them to be enforced. However, the restraints and enforcement are being weakened instead. Lawlessness is increasing and is now threatening to overrun every barrier.

      In Scripture, the judgment of God upon the nations...

      Why did the Lord create man with the freedom to rebel, and by this allow all of the pain and suffering that has come upon the world? Freedom.

      God made every snowflake, every leaf on every tree, and even every person unique. So, where does the human pressure to conform come from? One thing we can be sure of is that this pressure does not come from the Spirit of the Lord, so we must reject it.

      Our present education system feeds the pressure to conform by rewarding it and its compliance while punishing individuality, innovation, and creativity. The result is that those who conform to the system are the most conditioned to be overly fearful of and threatened by any who do not comply with...

      Leo Tolstoy described prophecy as “a spark that is lit in a dry wood.” He said, “It will burn and burn until the wood, hay, and stubble is consumed.” He used slavery as an example of this in history. Slavery was found in virtually every nation and tribe on earth until it was clearly articulated in human language that it was evil. He said that spark was lit by the novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which so powerfully described the evils of slavery that it became intolerable in civilized nations until it was eradicated by every available means, including...
