Even as we examine the operation of spiritual gifts and bring some needed reforms, let’s also remind ourselves that there is an unseen realm that no one will never be able to explain or proof text. The ways and means of God are not merely written words, but spiritual realities with power.
The word of the Lord in this hour will not come from mighty platforms or large auditoriums. It will not come through commercialized channels or popular brands. It will come through those who are broken of spirit and laid low at the altar of total surrender. It is those who have forsaken the houses of men in order to pursue the House of the Lord who will hear Him speak.
God is doing a radical work within the Body of Christ that is both painful and costly. A Refiner’s fire is sweeping through the Church that is testing both character and conduct. He is lifting the standard of righteousness and seeing who can pass through the flames as purified vessels. And to bring us through safely, He is calling many to walk away from what was once “home.”
For those who feel strongly about basing everything on the written Word, what role does “revelation” have in forming our beliefs and practices? Isn’t recorded Scripture enough to determine sound doctrine? How do we receive and understand revelation given by the Holy Spirit? If we have the Word, why do we need further revelation? Let me share the evidence I found that not only proves the power of revelation, but the necessity of it if we are to fulfill our commission...
The next generation doesn’t need more noise. They need the Word.
Have you ever faced a tough circumstance and wondered, God, where are you? Maybe you’re in one of those situations right now. I’ve had them too. That was the situation with many of Jesus’ followers after He was crucified and buried. They had lost their hopes and dreams and didn’t know where to turn. Let’s take a look at one story.

Every so often, I come across a verse or passage in Scripture that hits me in an unexpected way. These verses tend to be in the Old Testament; they ALWAYS make me weirdly self-reflective, as a res…
Long before The Chosen captured worldwide audiences with an immersive series about the life of Jesus Christ, Dallas Jenkins was a young, aspiring filmmaker trying to establish himself in Hollywood. In 2010, with just one full-length feature film to his credit, Jenkins released a movie that won the hearts of...

Halo sister Wanda.
Your comment and prophetic admonition is very clear: “we have missed the Mark Of Holiness”.
Thank you for your motherly warning not to fall pray to the momentary, seemingly, pleasure of the ” lust of the
flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life”. Some time ago, about two months, I had a dream where I voiced out”
“Cry out for the fullness of the Spirit”, to those who were in the same large hall with me.
And then two days ago, while in a prayer call with some brother and sisters I heard these words: “Zion Is Awakening.”
And now I am reminded of the Spirit saying these words of Paul in 1 Cor 7:29 ” the time is short: it remaineth, that both
they that have wives be as though they had none”. And those that weep as though they weep not; and those that rejoice
as though they rejoice not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not,” Now, that will be hard for most of us. But by His Grace,
we will lay on the Alter all that’s mortal and temporary; even as Moses and many others saw behind the vail of the flesh, that
city whose maker and builder is none other than Jehovah. Shalom. Br. David
WANDA,
All you say is so true. but (Don’t you Love the “but”) I keep thinking that as a body we are guilty of becoming like groupies and making heros of people in “leadership.” Media pumps them up and other leaders use them as headliners at their conferences and chats. I watch ministries USE immature men, more than women, especially those gifted in word of knowledge and with charismatic personalities. We literally set them up to fail, and all too often they do fall. Much to their and our chagrin. And the Enemy laughs.
The Lord cares for EACH of us. Even tho leaders, the gifted ones and the larger groups of believers are all important, have their place, the Lord has His eye on where we are within ourselves. He truly does care for His flock and His standards in leadership, high. Thank You Holy Spirit for being there with and for us, oh gentle and strong of heart, in Him.
Very true. It’s easy to be blind because of our own self righteousness which is something none of us is exempt from Tragically those in elevated or power positions can insulate themselves from correction
