Opinions regarding whether or not this is a valid move of God have abounded all over the internet, and especially on social media. “What do you think?” is a question that I have been asked repeatedly. Here are a few of my thoughts:
God will be with you, and that is why greater days of revival and missions and evangelism may yet be ahead. His presence is bigger than your generation’s problems.
While there is no promise that God will “heal America” in these verses, the rest of the passage is certainly true for every believer!
We in the USA have enjoyed living in a land that has been blessed by the fruits of truth and righteousness. We are now beginning to see the fruits of its rejection in our culture of anger, immorality, death, and destruction. Abortion is evil beyond words. Immorality abounds in every form and is readily accepted,…

A friend of mine wrote recently that his former pastor told him that evangelists are like apostles in that their…
Ephesians 4:1-3 “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love; endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” It is a special thing to be called…
