Climbing the Mountain Part 3

As we are begin the third year in which I have written this Word for the Week for our Internet friends, I want to do a brief review of its purpose. When given the visions that I wrote about in The Final Quest, I climbed a mountain with different levels, which represented different biblical truths. Climbing that spiritual mountain has been the quest of my life ever since. It is also the purpose of this Word for the Week. My prayer is that all who read this would be encouraged, helped, and continually go higher in the Lord.

Local Church Life: Vital to Prophetic Growth - The Prophetic Experiences, Part 7

Let's consider this from Philippians 3:7-14, which is certainly one of the most challenging texts in Scripture:

Day 39 - The Exile

Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"—

therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken.

Prophetic Bulletin- Taking Back Our Land

    I recently had the unexpected experience of leaving Washington, D.C. encouraged. I saw change, and in the right direction. I have never given up hope on the prevailing of the American Republic or the ultimate preservation of the Constitution, but I admit I had begun to lose hope that any fundamental solutions would come from Washington. For decades, every visit I made to Washington left me more concerned about our Federal Government. So to leave Washington encouraged was a new experience for me. How did it happen?
