In the time of Christ, God’s people lived under oppression both from Roman rulers and from religious leaders obsessed with the tiniest minutia of Law and traditions of men.

Blessed are the meek… It probably isn’t unreasonable to assume, therefore, the people were forced to cope with … More His Way vs the World: Teachings of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount
It grieves me every time I hear any believer in Christ doubting the security of their salvation. The thought a church would teach this fallacy breaks my heart, for it is a false teaching.

On January 25 of this year, I heard something more unusual in my spirit than I’ve heard before. It was a short sentence of foreign words. It sounded like this: El oh cellia nomay.

Laying in bed in the middle of the night last night, I heard the Spirit say, “Listen.” Having learned never to waste a moment hearing His voice, I responded, “yes, Lord, I am here.“ Then, I heard Him say clearly, “Say My Name.” (This ancient One is so modern, so contemporary.) I replied, “I Am!“ … More SAY HIS NAME! PRINCE OF PEACE.

I love the words of Jesus. They are precious, comforting, and revealing beyond imagining. Have you noticed how He so often reveals an iceberg of truth within just a few words?

Friends, these are my notes from Friday, March 6, a most unusual day on which I believe God fore-ordained the release of The Blessing, a song that would go viral and literally put His blessing on His people before a great shaking would hit America and the world.

Often, I catch myself fretting over the continual cultural slide and division in the United States.
