I was first introduced to the Appeal to Heaven flag in May of 2013. I was the Executive Director of a Bible College, and it was my responsibility to choose the commencement speaker. I chose one of my spiritual sons, not because he’s a great preacher, but because he isn’t a preacher at all!

I am quite certain that God is intent on reaping a great spiritual harvest in many nations over the next few years. This has already begun, but will increase exponentially.

I am also quite certain that satan is determined to stop this harvest, in part, through ungodly governments. Leaders in China, Russia, South Korea, Iran, and other nations throughout the earth are influenced by principalities and powers. As well as wanting to stop the coming harvest, satan‘s kingdom has profound hatred for I

I enjoy studying biblical words because of the added insight I receive from the different nuances of meaning. The Hebrew language, with its pictorial style, paints many rich pictures. With a technical approach, the Greeks used to brag that they could say more in one word than other languages could in an entire sentence. Humorous, but sometimes true.

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6; KJV)

Perhaps no one has demonstrated the truth of these verses more than George Washington Carver (1864-1943). Born into slavery and poverty, Carver later became an agricultural chemist of international fame, and amazed the world with his accomplishments. He discovered hundreds of uses for the peanut, soybean, pecan and sweet potat
