And He loves us... so it makes sense that "if you being evil know HOW to give good things to your children, HOW MUCH MORE will the Heavenly Father give the good things to them who ask. One of the ways we like to give good things to our children is by hiding it FOR THEM, not from them . It is the glory of God to  conceal   a   matter,   to search out a   matter  is the glory of kings. Proverbs 25:2 David is Given A Measure of Barley Meal from 'Bethlehem' - this is not a biblical account, nor a exhortation, this is just a story of my walking through a prophetic picture of types and shadows that ties back to a Scripture God gav

A hundred men had fallen and the angel took one step forward. The sword came down again another ninety were mowed down. The sword did not slash indiscriminately, it moved with purpose and skill and it traveled at the speed of light! Two men urgently talked over at one side, one of them suddenly ran into a large tent of animal skins and disappeared. In the few minutes it

We have 6 more days. Yesterday on Day 24 Don mentioned one of the guiding Scriptures for this group and I wanted to remind us  here,  of the second guiding Scripture ... "We don't know what we should pray for as we ought..." Isn't that comforting?                   It should be!  Because, if we agree with this first half of this verse, then we will not attempt to depend on our ability to figure it out, instead we will turn to the Lord immediately.  and the second half is a promise it goes on to say... The Spirit Himself i

MERCY   “I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the  gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.  or JUDGEMENT  So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing down on t

As Sukkot Celebration Ends, Israel Turns Eyes Toward Iran Once Again The weeklong celebration of Sukkot is coming to an end tonight. Across Israel, the booths built in honor of this special event are being taken apart. But life is not going back to “normal” tomorrow.  Instead Israeli eyes are once again focused on Iran and the threat of nuclear war following new Iranian President Rouhani's speech at the United Nations yesterday. In a marked departure from his predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hassan Rouhani has gone out of his way to present a smiling face to the US and the Western world. Unlike Ahmadinejad, he does not publicly deny the Holocaust (although he won't state that it happened either), nor has he repeated the calls for Israel to be wiped off the map.

As one of the C2C churches  addressed  in this word  received during the Fall Conference on September 20, 2013, in  Pittsburgh  KS  .  There is coming a day of persecution and heaviness  for your churches and their leaders. For there will be a drawing away in local cities  and it would appear your coals are going dim for a season. Know you will feel the weight of demonic struggle and  the rejection of men around you,  even from those who call themselves my church. Know great darkness will consume the land  and great hopelessness upon the peoples.  There shall come a cry out of the darkness

Who can say which was more important, the shout that brought the walls down, or walking around in silence for seven days
