The root of Islamic terrorism is not political; it is religious. That root is a belief that it is the will of Allah, their god, that the Jews everywhere—not just in Israel, but everywhere—be annihilated. Naturally, this would end the existence of the State of Israel, which is...

God is our Father, and we are His children. Through Christ we are born as infants into the things of God (John 1:12–13). We begin as children, but we are supposed to grow up. When I think as a child, it is easy for me to get separated from the reality of who I am, what I am,...

The Kingdom of God is not religious. When religion gets involved, it always messes things up. We have wars that are fought in the name of religion. We have hatred that is expounded in the name of religion, and people are being killed today all in the name of religion....

Today we are seeing an unbelievable expression of anger and division in the news and on social media. And it is an expression of what is going on in the heart of man (Matthew 15:18). Something is really taking root in the thinking of this age. Young people may think, “Well,...

On November 1, 2005, the United Nations General Assembly designated January 27, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, to be known as International Holocaust Remembrance Day (IHRD). This U.N. resolution 60/7 “condemns all forms of ‘religious intolerance,...

We are crossing a mystical line, and it is absolutely apparent that things are changing and different. It is like seeing a welcome sign on the highway as you enter a new city. Suddenly you realize that you are coming into Sonship City limits—only the spiritual battle is not...

Absolutely nothing is sacred to God other than you and your relationship with Him. I know that sounds strange but just think about it for a minute. God does not hold anything as sacred. And He is willing to allow its destruction if He does not have a relationship with His...

After telling the parable of the Ten Virgins, Yeshua (Jesus) said, “Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour that I will come” (see Matthew 25:13). We also read that Yeshua told His followers, “Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit. Be like men...

Whether you believe that Yeshua (Jesus) was born at Christmas or during the time of the Feast of Tabernacles or during the summer solstice or whenever, the point is that we know Yeshua was born. And we should always come back to this simple reality that the Father sent Yeshua...

God is Spirit. And when we come to Him, He gives us a spirit that is alive so He can communicate with us (1 Peter 3:18). We talk about spirit and about the Holy Spirit teaching us and guiding us, but we generally put that guidance on a natural level and expect the Spirit to...

The apostle Paul instructed, “With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints” (Ephesians 6:18).[1] It is necessary for us to grasp how important it is for us to exercise...

The Festival of Dedication, named Hanukkah in Hebrew, is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the reconsecration of the Temple in Jerusalem. More than 2,000 years ago, the Syrian king Antiochus Epiphanes IV outlawed the study of Torah, placed a statue of Zeus in the Jew’s Holy...

We live in the hour of Christ’s return. So we must get rid of the conditioning that we have to an invisible Christ who is seated at the right hand of the Father. We are conditioned to not seeing Him, not talking to Him, and not breaking bread with Him. So now the Lord is...

Thankfulness is literally the foundation of our walk with God. It is what everything else really rests upon. If we just relate to experiences, we lose that ongoing moment-by-moment sense of thankfulness for what God has done or is doing for us. So Lord, restore to us the joy of...

Our health should be a primary focus of intercession. God has spent many years raising us up, equipping us, and training us. Yet we are aware that “unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short”...

Everything about religion, everything that we tend to do to relate to God is from a place of being separated from God. Our very form of worship recognizes our distance from Him, and we excuse it by thinking, “I can’t be like God. I’m not supposed to be like God.” Yet when...

Christ defeated satan at the cross, but in our daily lives this remains a provision until it is appropriated. We also know that in the fullness of time God sent His Son to be born of a woman and to be our Savior (Galatians 4:4–5). It was something that had been provided for in...

The Body of Christ needs to move in a prophetic declaration this year as we face what is going to unfold. We will see waves of things happening where God is dealing with specific areas of government, finance and business, education, arts, the legal realm, health, religion,...
