Mindful or Mind FULL: Will You Hear Him Now?
Last night was an absolute blast. God spoke to and through us by directing more than 20 people up to the mic to share what He was saying and doing. And then Penny Gibbs got rolling and releasing what He's been downloading. And she was spot on! With all that is going on in the natural and in the spirit, we must be fully attuned to what God is saying to us, individually. That's not complicated but it ain't always easy. So much distraction keeps our minds full and makes it hard
News Flash: Covert Asset Dropped Behind Enemy Lines
A new action/comedy called 'Violent Night,' takes the traditional, gentle, jolly Santa image and incarnates it as Rambo to the rescue.

His Word (That You Are) Has Power & Its Own Time

Yet we forget that the lives we live are likewise an utterance of God, set in time to be time-released when the promises prepared become palpable. That's easy to agree in principle, but praying for something for, well... forever and without breakthrough: Yikes. How's that work? Enter Zech and Lizzy: Righteous. Blameless. Barren. And old. For decades When Gabriel bursts in on his
A Month to Embrace Disruptive Truth
It was in this 9th biblical month that Nehemiah, the wine bearer, and Mary, the backwater teen, had visitations. Neither expected some life-altering encounter yet what broke in was not 'an inconvenient truth' but Disruptive Truth that changed everything. Hmmm... 'tis the season.
