Very few people have gotten to the place of total transformation, perhaps because there aren't many willing to pay the price. But before the Lord takes me home, I want to get there.A young pastor from Nigeria once asked me a powerful question. He said, "Is it possible...
We cannot worship until we have entered in through praise. Psalm 100:4a (KJV) says we "enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise." Praise erupts in the courts and brings us to the doorway. As we enter, our thanksgiving and praise lead us...
We need the prophets. Some prophesy. Some are prophets.There is a distinct difference between a person who operates in the gift of prophecy and one who functions in the office of the prophet. The prophet is the second office mentioned in the five ascension gifts that...

In 2 Kings 4:16–29, the Shunammite woman found Elisha and told him her son had died. So Elisha said to his servant Gehazi, "Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him...

Over the years I have accompanied thousands of people to the Holy Land. I am always thrilled to see people on these tours with their Bibles open, eagerly reading Old and New Testament passages that identify the very places they are seeing for themselves.
