The Summer of Love
In the 2020 “summer of love,” 574 “mostly peaceful” riots occurred across our nation. Two dozen innocent people were killed, and upwards of $2 billion in property damage occurred. Kamala Harris famously said they wouldn’t and “shouldn’t” stop.(1)
“On June 2, 2020, David Dorn, a 77-year-old retired police captain, was fatally shot after interrupting the burglary of a pawn shop in The Ville, St. Louis. The incident took place during riots in St. Louis, Missouri, following th
There are various reasons why people do not receive supernatural healings. It is not my purpose to list and comment on those reasons today, nor do I pretend to always know why a person does not receive a healing from God. And I certainly would never insinuate that everyone I pray for is healed; anyone who asserts this is dishonest. My purpose for today’s post is simply to urge individuals to not give up on receiving their healing or miracle.
One of my favorite verses on revival is Acts 3:19: “Therefore, repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.”
As is often the case, it is challenging for our English translations to fully convey the Greek content of this verse. The phrase “times of refreshing” is loaded with meaning. “Times” is translated from the word kairos, which means “strategic or opportune time.”(1)
Our friend, Gina Gholston, recently sent the following word to me. I find it very interesting that it references past dreams regarding the Lord merging the fruit of several revivals in history, including the Welsh revival. When sending the word Gina had no idea I was going to Wales, and I did not know what she had written in this post until I returned. Gina shares:
The Lord has been reminding me of two dreams I had a few years ago. Dutch has talked about these dreams before, so they are not n
I mentioned the phrase “synergy of the ages” when speaking at The Bible College of Wales this past Sunday (see yesterday’s post). I teach on this phrase in depth in my book An Appeal to Heaven, explaining the setting and purpose for which God first spoke it to me. Today’s post is an overview of the concept.
Throughout the biblical narrative, we observe a profound pattern of continuity where God’s dealings with His people weave through generations, connecting past acts of faith with present en
Firstly, I want to say thank you to Ceci for doing such a wonderful job on yesterday‘s post while I was traveling home from Wales. She always does an amazing job.
I was in Swansea, Wales, to speak this past Sunday at the 10th anniversary (since its reopening) of The Bible College of Wales. The school has its roots in the gre at Welsh Revival, the effects of which are still being felt around the world. Here is a little background.
“Have you ever noticed how incredibly easy it is to focus on what’s wrong with life? It’s easy for even ordinary irritations to build into occasions for grumbling and dissatisfaction. The weather; traffic; the alarm lock not going off on time; the noisy neighbors. We seem to easily find irritants rather than the good in life. We complain about our job, snap at our spouse, get honked at by traffic, or worse. Sometimes it seems there are more bad moments than good in life. If we don’t stop and tak
In my book, The Way Back, I share the following:
“I recently read an account of American warriors who fought in the battle for Betio Beach during World War II. It was imperative that America take this beach. The odds against us doing so, however, were great. The results of the battle were horrific, the hearts of our men heroic. In his book Looking for America, Douglas Simpson states concerning our soldiers, ‘Never before in the history of warfare have men been asked to face such withering fir
There is absolutely no doubt that we are in the beginnings of revival in America, an outpouring of such proportions that it will be considered another Great Awakening. Many efforts have contributed to this: much prayer, worship gatherings, repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, and more. America has obviously not been fully cleansed and transformed – sin still abounds – but cleansing and transformation are the results of salvation and revival, not the causes.
One of the fastest ways to create controversy is to mix the subjects of God, government, and the church. It is easy for me to see why the leftist and antichrist elements in our society don’t want God or His Word influencing government. It is inconceivable to me, however, that believers would fall prey to this error. The belief that we are to separate God and government is one of the greatest possible heresies. His influence is meant to permeate EVERY facet of life on Earth.
