15 MINUTES OF FAME

What if you had 15 minutes of fame where you could say something to the entire world? What would you say? What is the message you want everyone to hear? Would you tell them, “Jesus Christ is the Truth”? Well, the ones who have experienced Salvation already know that, and those who have not been saved remain unconvinced. Is telling them again going to change their opinion or cause them to run…

Walking in Darkness

Ever wonder why some people believe the craziest things? It seems like they just can’t see the truth and so easily fall into believing a lie if that’s what they want to hear. How can people so easily promote abortion when it is so obviously killing an individual? How can they support transgenderism, and then force that on our children? How can they not see that homosexuality is a sin and a…

Where is the Line?

Where is the Line?

Where’s the Line? I wonder about a lot of things.  It’s not that I am the naturally curious type that wonders about everything that comes along, like some overly playful cat, but some things warrant answers that are more important than the humdrum procession of daily living.  One of those things is where God will draw the line between those who go to Heaven and those who will wind up in…

Mountaintop Church 2

Well, I fell flat again. That makes two so far. We are at another mountaintop church. This another of the churches that Isaiah has planted in this area, so it is still relatively young, but it is already grown to over a hundred or so people. Everyone is glad to see Isaiah. He is like their spiritual grandpa, so he wins the crowd over immediately. I, however, am another story. I can’t get a…

Mountaintop Churches

Rwanda certainly has it’s share of mountains. It is called Le Pay des Mille Collines (Land of a Thousand Hills). It makes the air feel that much crisper and cleaner and the sun that much stronger. Man, I could spend some time here just soaking it in, especially when I hear that the temperature in Texas is in triple digits! Before we leave Rwanda, Isaiah, my host, takes me to where his church…

Leaving Zambia

Well, we are finally leaving Zambia. Noah and I have been impressed with the raw hunger that we have found here. They are dry and hungry. They are desperate for a revival. Every church I have been to has been the same way. They sit on the edge of their chairs and stare at me, soaking up every word. The amens are loud and instant, and the laughs are genuine. Of course, it remains to be seen if…

Zambia - 3rd Day of Seminar

Zambia – 3rd Day of Seminar

This is the final day of the 3-day revival meetings. Expectations are high and the pastors that have been here the previous two days are lit up. Last night, I was taken to another church to deliver a replica of the same excitement that we had during the day meetings. I have told my host that I can only handle just so much before I get exhausted. I am not what I used to be 15 or even 5 years ago.…

Zambia - 2nd Day of Revival Seminar

Zambia – 2nd Day of Revival Seminar

It is now day three, the second day of the seminar. When you are bringing a message, you start with the Promise to encourage them, then you expose the Problem, and finally you bring the Solution. Promise, Problem, Solution. I had already shown them the prophecies of a coming Revival and told him about the vision that the Lord had given me. I talked about how the fire was breaking out all over the…

Zambia- First Day of Seminar

Zambia- First Day of Seminar

Judging by yesterday’s turnout, I was trying not to be despondent. I’ve spent a lot of money to be here and was told there would be around 300 to maybe 500 pastors and leaders here to receive the message of revival. The little church we are in can not fit more than 100 and only 20 people showed up for yesterday’s Sunday service. I have been to this situation literally hundreds of times and have…

Zambia - the First Day

Zambia – the First Day

As we drove into the neighborhood, I knew what type of church we would be starting off this revival campaign in. We left the paved highway and descended into the typical African neighborhood, The roads were a challenge to drive through unless you had a Land Rover, a motorbike, or a horse. Our driver in his little Japanese sedan slowed down to a crawl just to navigate his way over the pits filled…

Zambia - first day

Zambia – first day

15,000 miles and I’m finally there. Forty-two hours of travel will wear you out, but it also makes you reevaluate what you’re doing and why. This is not a casual trip for an old man to catch a bit of his glory days. This is a reaffirmation of the vision that God gave me fifty-two years ago. I am going to plant seed in a new field of harvest. I asked my host, Bishop Peter, how he had heard of me.…

By the Brook Cherith

We all cycle through the different contrasts of life – prosperity and poverty, laughter and tears, sickness and health. We’re told that it is all designed to make us strong, to stretch our character and turn us into better people. That all sounds great if you plan on joining the U.S. Marines, but it is little comfort when you are dipping into the down part of that cycle. Even when you know how…

Football and the Body

Football and the Body

Some time ago, a retired pastor emailed me how he wished he could be serving the Lord like me out in the harvest field reaping all the souls. He felt useless, spent, and too sick and old to do anything anymore. The Lord gave me a rather terse answer to tell him, that I was nothing more than a marionette on a string that was operated by the prayer warriors who were holding me up in prayer. It was…

“But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down. And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.”   (Acts 13:14-15) And so they did. This formula seemed to have worked fairly well…

New Clothes

“…and His truth endureth to all generations.”  Psalm 100:5 [This article is an excerpt from our new book, Shaking the Olive Tree] Think of that!  We get to have the same Truth that Adam had, and Noah, and Abraham, and even the Apostle Paul. The very same Truth! But we live in a world today that feels that “the times they are a-changing”. How we look at what is right and what is wrong is…

A Thing Incredible

[Excerpt from soon-coming book, volume 10 of the Voice in the Wilderness series] “Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?”(Acts 26:8) Paul standing before King Agrippa is one of the strongest recorded witnesses there is. Here, in a temporary court set up for quick convenience for the king and queen, is this young rabble-rouser whose fierce intensity…
