A prophetic word – Ladysmith (uMnambithi), South Africa in 1987.
The writer to the Hebrews tells us God is shaking the heavens and the earth – all created things. There is a revelation of “the shaking”, there’s a realization of “the shaking”, and then there is the fruitfulness of “the shaking”.
Concerning the phrase “speaking the truth in love” which we find in Ephesians 4, verse 15: To begin with, a more literal, or more accurate, translation of the Greek would be: “living out the truth with love”. In other words, “walking the talk”. However, we are also called to speak the truth – not only live it. For many years, I’ve pleaded with the Lord: “Honestly, I don’t know how to do that. I understand loving; and I understand speaking
More and more of those who are searching for “the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:3) with regards to corporate fellowship are finding themselves in a wilderness (Acts 7:38). They are actually being “led by the Spirit into the wilderness”. (Matthew 4:1) For God always begins “a new thing” with His people in the wilderness. “But what did you go out into the wilderness to see?” (Matthew 11:7)
Introduction What this article is about: To be clear, salvation is totally dependent upon the work of the Holy Spirit: “Salvation belongs to the LORD.” (Psalm 3:8) “No one can by any means redeem another.” (Psalm 49:7) But we are called to co-labor with the Spirit of God.

We also need to understand the spiritual state of those still in need of salvation is
Maher-shalal-hash-baz Isaiah 8:1 A Prophecy for a People Not Unlike Ourselves ******* “Be broken, you peoples, and be shattered; and listen, all remote places of the earth. Get ready, yet be shattered. Get ready, yet be shattered. Devise a plan, but it will fail. State a proposal, but it will not stand, for God is with us. For so the LORD spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying, “You are not to say, ‘It is a conspiracy!’ regarding everything that this people call a conspiracy, and you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it. It is the
“For we are God’s co-workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:9 ******* This essay is about “tearing down” and “building up” the people of God – “God’s field” or “God’s building”. There are plenty of scripture references which speak about exposing error.[1] This essay is NOT questioning IF we should expose error. It is questioning HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT we should spend tearing down and exposing error? What should be THE PRIMARY FOCUS of ministry? *******
“What does the future hold?”, if we were to give a one-word answer to that question, that one word would be “TRIBULATION”. Jesus told us this 2000 years ago. In Matthew 24 Jesus said the indications of the end of the age[1] would be deception[2], lawlessness[3] and tribulations[4]. “Deception” and “Lawlessness” are topics for other messages.[5] The focus of this message is “Tribulation”. The tribulations Jesus specifies just in Matthew 24 are wars, international unrest, famines, earthquakes, persecutions, and betrayals
“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation but take courage; I have overcome the world.”[1] How can we have peace in the midst of tribulation? How can we have courage in tribulation? How can we overcome in tribulation? The answer I have to offer you in this message is “Faith”. To truly understand why faith is essential in facing the future, we need to begin by
A foundational Scripture passage – Proverbs 30:24-28 “Four things are small on the earth, but they are exceedingly wise: The ants are not a strong people, but they prepare their food in the summer; The rock hyraxes are not mighty people, yet they make their houses in the rocks; The locusts have no king, yet all of them go out in ranks; The lizard you may grasp with the hands, yet it is in kings’ palaces.” The corresponding Scripture passage
