There is something dangerous about nostalgia when God has called you forward. In Genesis 19:26, we read one of the shortest yet most sobering verses in Scripture: “But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.” Lot’s wife had been given a clear command—do not look back. God was delivering her family from destruction, yet her heart was still tethered to what she was leaving behind. Looking back was not just a physical act. It was a heart posture. Jesus later reinforced this principle in Luke 9:62: “No one who puts his hand to Read More

Breaking Unholy Covenants: Reclaiming Your Power
God said, “Some of you have made unholy covenants and signed contracts with the enemy. You have given away your power and given access to the enemy. You are now paying the price through sickness ravaging your bodies, mental attacks, stressful financial situations and problems in your marriage and family.” The problem is, you think you are right and have been justifying this behavior. It’s time to break free of those covenants and cancel those contracts. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal these unholy covenants and contracts to you. He will show you were repentance is needed. There are moments Read More
The Gift of Access: Positional Purpose
One of the most powerful yet overlooked blessings in life is access. Access is more than opportunity — it is divine permission, spiritual positioning, and relational favor that places you where your effort alone could not take you. Access is a gift, and when God gives it, it changes everything. Throughout Scripture, we see that destiny often hinges on who is allowed in the room. Esther had access to the king (Esther 5:1–3). That access saved a nation. She was not the strongest person in Persia, but she had proximity to power. Her position became purpose when she stepped forward Read More
The Battlefield of Voices: Choosing What You Allow In
For the last week or so, the Lord has been speaking to me about noise and the various voices that we encounter on a daily basis. Have you ever been somewhere and thought, it’s so loud in here I can’t even think? There are so many voices in the earth vying for our attention. There are voices that educate, that tear you down, that curse you, and that lift you up. There are some voices that are meant for your good and others for evil. We need to be able to discern the difference and learn to live above all Read More
When Thoughts Fall Like Rain: The Spirit Who Reveals
Have you ever experienced a sudden breakthrough in understanding—a moment when confusion lifted, and truth became clear? There are those moments when our thoughts fall like rain. It’s tempting to credit our own intellect or wisdom in these moments. But scripture reminds us of a humbling truth: genuine clarity comes from the Holy Spirit, the divine revealer. Jesus promised His disciples, “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth” (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit doesn’t just provide information; He illuminates our hearts and minds, revealing what we could never discover on our own. Paul Read More
Discernment: Charisma vs Character
We are in a season of great upheaval, both naturally and spiritually. There are events happening in the spirit realm and in the natural realm that we need to be able to discern. We periodically have our eyes examined so we can see clearly. We also need to have our spiritual eyes examined so we can discern with clarity. We can see examples of spiritual discernment by looking at the life of Joseph. Joseph demonstrated remarkable discernment throughout his time in Egypt in several key ways: 1. Interpreting Dreams with Spiritual Insight: Joseph discerned that Pharaoh’s dreams about seven fat Read More
