It is so comforting to have our young prophets prophesying once again. One of them prophesied this last week and said that he had seen someone in seat #22 (our sanctuary seats are numbered) being given a prophetic vision and then thinking he or she was being humble by not sharing the vision. The Lord’s response was, “This is not humility; this is disobedience and you must share the vision.” After church a sister told me that she was the one in seat #22, and that she’d had a vision of me helping a young woman give birth to a baby. A few minutes later in the lobby of our church, Paul Orth, a high school teacher, felt to share with me, completely out of the blue, the difference between human births and the birth of giraffes. I know this sounds totally unconnected, but please stay with me for a moment. A woman is pregnant for nine months and it takes nearly 1 1/2 years after birth for the baby to learn to walk. A giraffe is pregnant for 24 months before it gives birth to a young giraffe that is nearly 6 ft. tall and that, within a few minutes, can run nearly 30 mph. This is extremely vital for the survival of a baby giraffe because it must be able to outrun a lion. Keep reading →

Jesus told an incredible story about five wise virgins and their secret to success in the category of receiving promotions in life. Many of us today are waiting on a promise from God that was made to us through dreams, prophecies, words, or revelations. Whatever it is that you are waiting for I am sure that you will receive, if you understand and live in the wisdom of the “five wise virgins”. Keep reading →

We all have some epic battles in our lives that cut to the very core of who we are. For some it might be the love and security of money, for others it might be the love and security of friends, but for each battle there will be that moment when you need to make Christ the complete Lord of your life. This is of course, if you are ever going to accomplish the high calling in Christ Jesus. For everyone else there may be just a constant languishing in mediocrity. Keep reading →

Most of us are familiar with controlling spirits in the church; we call them religious spirits. A congregation is made up of a large group of people from all walks of life coming together. This environment makes it easy for us to identify these controlling spirits especially since you usually interact with the same people one to four times a week. As I have been teaching on this subject, it has been helpful for many people to release themselves from the influence of these spirits. At this time, however, I am going to deal with an area of our lives that has a much stronger influence upon us. Here the spirits can do even more severe damage to your ability to follow God’s perfect will. This area is your workplace. Controlling spirits in your workplace are usually identified as office or workplace politics. No matter what you call them, they are the same controlling spirits. Keep reading →

In the art of spiritual warfare there are lessons to be learned about some of the secret methods that God has used throughout history; some have brought us into hugely important victories. Recently the Lord revealed His method of using decoys, and how immensely rewarding they can be in the scope of victory that is released in the Christian’s life. While hunting, a decoy is used as a representation of something that has as its purpose attracting the animal that the decoy represents, thereby seducing the animal into the sights of the hunter’s gun.

Recently the Lord called me to an extensive period of prayer, to do some deep cleaning in my life. I hadn’t known that the deep cleaning in me would also have a lasting impact on how other people affected and controlled my life. Sometimes we don’t understand how spiritual links are made. Spiritual links are emotional ties that are connected to either the opinion or instructions of others. If these ties are illegitimate, they are also dangerous and may deeply affect your ability to progress in life. The subject I am dealing with may seem to be very sensitive, and perhaps even a bit too detailed. You must understand, however, that it affects the entire journey of your life, and may literally determine what type of person you become or what style of living you will enjoy. Personal evaluation is therefore vital to anyone seeking a higher standard of spiritual or physical living. This is the price that has to be paid! Keep reading →

I have lived in San Francisco since I was 12 years old, and have watched firsthand the progressive movements birthed in San Francisco move across America, and sometimes the world; they’ve included the Beatniks, the Hippie movement, and the current gay marriages. With each movement I have prayerfully stayed out of politics, and have just focused on Jesus in my personal life, and in my public speaking. Most of this time I have been a registered Democrat, but recently I was asked to be the campaign manager for Ken Miller, a candidate who ran in the California primary for Governor. Because he was on the Republican ticket, I registered in the same party, although I personally believe that the party I belong to is irrelevant. The person you vote for, is however, extremely crucial. There are three issues that I feel God has called me to deal with:
•Gay marriage
•Socialism
•Racism
