How hungry are you for the truth? How willing are you to let the truth change your life? Or are you one that is saying, like Pilate said to Jesus, what is truth?

In a post-modern world, we have lost truth which means we have created our own plumb line. Creating our own plumb line has allowed deception to become truth and truth to be suspect. This was not malicious nor was it intentional. We have been dipped in deception so we have unknowingly believed a lie.

When a lie is baked into who we are, it is hard to remove it from us without a hunger for truth that is willing to let go of literally everything. Beliefs are strongholds, they are infrastructure. They have kept us in bondage and yet they have felt safe for they are all we have ever known.

When a lie is exposed, first reactions are usually to defend it, rather than consider it to be a lie. Not because we are evil, but because we have been so dipped, we are shocked we have been deceived. It can be easier to remain in deception, because to believe the truth takes humility and humility takes strength of character.

There is a dismantling of everything we have ever known. It is a slow dismantling, because we couldn’t handle it if it happened quickly. Cognitive dissonance would cause us to shut down and we would be shell shocked if we knew how deceived we are and how lied to we have been.

The church has been dipped in Babylon not kingdom culture, so without recognizing it we have been deceived more than we know. God is slowly dismantling our Babylonian theology we call Christianity and drip drip dripping kingdom into us. But it is a complete dismantle and rebuild that is needed not a renovation.

We are not wicked we are deceived. We all have been lied to and didn’t know it. But God is giving us grace (empowerment to succeed) so we are endued with power (Acts 1:8) to humbly accept the truth so we can finally be free. Humility is the master key out of Babylon.

One of the passions I have is boating. I love the water, I love the wind, the waves, the swimming with friends, the water skiing, boogie boarding, tubing, I love all of it. My dream is to have a cabin on a lake where I could write and have a studio to produce videos. It would also be a place where friends could come to go boating and barbecuing.

Until that dream comes true, I have the honor of hanging out with friends who have a boat. Kathy, every year invites me at least once to go on a boating trip with a group of ladies. Who will be on a boating trip is a surprise, and I love how people we don’t usually hang out with all gather on the boat for a day of laughter and lunch.

Yesterday we did just that once again. I loved watching the smiles, hearing the conversations and for me driving the boat. While the wind was whipping in our hair, I was driving just enjoying every moment behind the wheel and the Holy Spirit says to me, “Have you ever looked back while driving the boat?”

I thought this was an interesting question, and I said, no, I don’t look back while driving the boat unless there is someone I am pulling on skis, an inner tube or wake board. The Holy Spirit then said, “I want my people to drive boats not cars, for when they drive cars they are looking in the rear view mirror and I want them to look forward only and enjoy everything in front of them.”

I was not expecting that while living my best life. But then I realized, of course the Lord said that at that moment, because I was living my best life and He wanted me to know how to maintain that even when not on the water.

Friends, face forward, stopping looking behind you, enjoy the ride, enjoy the wind, enjoy the waves, enjoy the people in your life. You are not pulling anything so there is nothing to look for behind you. God has good things in front of you. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Have you noticed in yourself and in others the insatiable desire for more? It is like one thing happens then when it is over we are on to the next thing. We as people have an insatiable desire for more. More miracles, more answered prayer, more blessings, more money, more relationships, more, more more.

We serve a God of abundance, so I do not think there is anything wrong with exploring and asking for more. I actually think many people think too small not too big, so we need to dream, we need to express desires, we need to cry out for more.

One of the songs that vibrated in my soul when I first got saved said, More Love, More Power, More of You in my life. I would sing it from my guts. This is still an anthem in my life, I do not want to ever become complacent in my life when it comes to Jesus Christ.

However, when we are in a perpetual state of wanting, asking, desiring more or waiting for something yet to manifest, we are anxious, fearful, disappointed, critical, discontent, and tend to complain. We all do it, whether people know it or not, everyone of us has a desire that is yet to be fulfilled and it aches.

Psalm 37:3-4 help us with our ache. “Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land, and FEED ON HIS FAITHFULNESS. Delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.”

The Lord is inviting us to FEED ON HIS FAITHFULNESS. His faithfulness is our food when we are starving for a breakthrough, an answer, a manifestation of whatever it is we are waiting for. We are being invited to feast on His faithfulness.

When we take time to really meditate on how faithful God has been to us, how good Jesus has treated us, how powerful the Holy Spirit in us is, we have a lot to eat. When we only focus on what we do not have yet, what we want, rather than on His faithfulness we will remain hungry for more. Slow down, feast on His faithfulness, it will satisfy your hungry soul.

I’ve never realized how many times we go in an out of things. We go in and out of relationships, we go in and out of jobs, we go in and out of churches, we go in and out of living arrangements. In and out, in and out. I never realized how hard it is for us to remain.

Remain: meno in the Greek and it means to abide, to stay in a given place, state, relation or expectancy; continue; dwell; endure; be present; stand; tarry.

We live in a culture that wants out of anything and everything the moment it gets hard, it gets uncomfortable, it doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t meet our needs, it hinders us in any way. We seek advice and people say just divorce him, just leave, get out of that friendship.

We add labels like it is toxic, co-dependent, he is a narcissist, she is nagging, that is not healthy for you, and on and on we go with counseling language that has become cultural.

Then church people say, move on, they are not meeting your needs, find somewhere that celebrates you, your gifts are not wanted there so keep moving, and we move on from people, places and situations.

But the spirit of the Lord is declaring from heaven, REMAIN! Remain, remain, remain, all I need you to do is remain. Because we do not just leave churches, friends, marriages and jobs, we leave God. We move on from God when the healing doesn’t happen, the prayer doesn’t get answered, the money doesn’t come.

The Lord is saying to us as the church, I need you to REMAIN. Remain in my love, remain in my truth, remain in my pace of grace, remain in the authority I have given you. REMAIN, REMAIN, REMAIN.

Is it hard to remain, yes. It takes grace, patience, communication and a lot of forgiveness. Jesus remained when rejected, Paul remained when persecuted, Deborah remained when all of Israel was going astray. There is power in remaining. There is a blessing for those who remain. Look again, the call is to remain. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

The greatest challenge humans face is deception, for it is deceiving. Some people guard against deception by isolation, but isolation is a tell tale sign you are deceived. One opinion, one persons thoughts, cannot reveal the full picture of any truth. Which is why isolation enhances deception and keeps people isolated.

Another tactic to ward off deception is distrust. People who do not trust other people, hear others say they are not trustworthy, that person cannot be trusted for this or that reason. Listen they said this or look at they did that. Distrust is a form of deception, because without trust you cannot know truth, which means you are deceived.

Deception was the first weapon the enemy used in the garden. Eve was deceived. Paul even says that as well, it was not the man who was deceived it was the woman who was deceived. This is not a gender issue, this is a reality of humanity, people are easily deceived.

Unsealed emotional wounds are access points for deception to enter in. We are vulnerable to deception when we are unhealed. Which is why we isolate, don’t trust people and remain deceived. But deception is easy to spot because it is always a counterfeit to what is truth.

In the case of Eve in the garden, the serpent said what God said, but added the words, did God really say? Don’t you realize you will be like God and God doesn’t want you like Him. Deception. The truth was she was created in the image and likeness of God. (Genesis 1-3)

Proverbs picks up on this in chapter 5 saying, “For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil; But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.” Deception looks like truth, honey, oil, but it is not the initial situation which is sweet, it is the long term effects which is bitterness.

The fruit of deception will always make you angry, bitter, unforgiving, resentful, distant, cold. Deceptions two edged sword cuts you and others. But truth sets you free, brings you into community, heals wounds, and truths two edged sword (Hebrews 4:12) does precision surgery on your soul for your liberation. Love truth and be free.

Pondering the moment we are in as the nations and being an American, pondering the moment we are in as a nation, I began to think about the number, 250.

None of us will live 250 years, and even though we are one of the younger nations in the world, 250 years is not a small amount of time to be a nation. Just like every other nation, this nation is not perfect.

Over 250 years we have had great victories and significant defeats. We have attacked others and been attacked ourselves. We are not a perfect people, but we are a resilient people. We are the land of the free and the home of the brave.

We as a nation have a 250 year history, just like every human alive today. No history is without spots, wrinkles and blemishes. No wonder Jesus said, if you are without sin, go ahead and cast the first stone.

Many people love this nation and come here for a better life, others want to take over this nation and make it into what they think is right. We have corruption and we are making corrections, we are not perfect, but we are proud to be an American.

250 years of existence. Congratulations and Happy Anniversary America.

250 is 5 times 50 and as the Lord showed me these numbers, I heard the words, “Grace to Jubilee.” Grace is an unearned gift, it is empowerment to succeed. God is declaring grace to jubilee over America on her 250th anniversary.

Even Leviticus 25:10 is a 250 verse. “And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.”

My spoken anniversary gift decree to the nation I love is “God has graced us to jubilee!” Happy 250th America 🇺🇸. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

One of the first names given to those who gathered as followers of Jesus Christ after His resurrection from the dead and ascension to the right hand of the Father, was called The Way. Acts 9:1-3 tells us they were called people who followed The Way.

This seems fitting, as Jesus Himself described Himself in John 14 as: The Way, The Truth and The Life, saying no one can come to the Father except through Him. Jesus was The Way, so His followers after His departure from earth, followed the way and were called followers of The Way.

For the past week I have been seeing the Hebrew word for Way in a variety of places. The word way is very consistent in the word of God, but the Hebrew word has been highlighted over and over again.

The word way in Hebrew is derekh. In Hebrew there is no vowels, so it would be spelled DRKH. Each letter in Hebrew is a letter, a number and a picture, it is a trilingual language. So the this word has been speaking to me for days and I finally submitted to it and what I found I believe will bless you.

D – Dalet in Hebrew and is the 4th letter representing the number 4 and is the picture of an open door.

R – Reysh in Hebrew and is the 20th letter representing the number 200 and is the picture of a crown on a head

K – Kat in Hebrew and is the 11th letter representing the number 20 and is the picture of an open hand or palm of the hand.

P – Pey in Hebrew and is the 17th letter representing the number 80 and is the picture of an open mouth.

Putting this all together the Lord spoke to me and said, “The way is open!” The open door, the open crown, the open hand, the open hand, the open mouth. All speaking of the way, the manner, the course, the journey. The Lord wants you to know, “The way is open!”

We as believers are followers of The Way and the way is open for salvation, deliverance, healing, reconciliation, prosperity, truth, life, hope, the way is open. For Jesus is The Way and He is declaring, “The Way is Open!!!” Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

If God was to rebuke us what do you think His rebuke would be about? Rebuke means to admonish, to correct, to convict, to convince, to reason, to argue a point. Alright, so if God was to rebuke us, what do you think He would rebuke us about or for?

I can hear a myriad of behaviors people are saying in their heads, but what if He was not going to rebuke us for any behavior, but rather He was going to rebuke us for our mistaken perception? You see, our perception is our reality, but our perception is not God’s reality.

We may see something as truth, but God does not call it truth. We may have a definition of something, but that is not God’s definition of it. When our perception does not align with God’s perception, we are to adjust, correct our perception to match His.

I was reading Isaiah 2:4 and I saw God rebuking many for a wrong perception about other people. At least this is what He rebuked Israel for and I believe He is rebuking us for the same thing.

“He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore.”

God is rebuking them for viewing people as enemies to destroy, rather than as a harvest to gather in. The Lord always had a vision for all nations to know Him. That is why in Genesis 12 He had Abram look up and called Him the Father of All Nations.

What if God is calling who we see as an enemy a harvest? What if He is rebuking us for not seeing people as a harvest field to reap, but rather as an enemy to remove? We can see this in our lives on a personal and national level. It happens in churches and cities. It happens between races and religions.

Friends, we are called to see people as a harvest to reap, not an enemy to destroy. Henceforth the call to beat swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks. Jesus said, the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Can you hear the rebuke of the Lord to see people as a harvest not someone to destroy? Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

On Saturday morning June 20, 2026 I had a dream. In the dream I was walking around a facility, a very large facility. There were other people in the facility and we were all walking in and out of threshold doorways that went into rooms. The whole place was rooms that were accessed by thresholds, but there was nothing in the rooms nor in the facility. 

We were sharing with each other, saying, no, it is not in there. This was so whatever we were looking for, others did not waste time checking the room we just exited. I came to one threshold door and in the room entrance was a loveseat size couch with a clutch purse sitting on it. I saw it so took off my purse and stuck it around a corner under a tablecloth, knowing I did not need it to keep looking. 

I walked out of the room with the couch and purse saying, no it is not in there. Then while I was still looking, I heard someone say, 30506, 30506 that is what we are looking for and the dream ended. 

I was walking the dog that morning and the Holy Spirit reminded me of the numbers 30506 and I saw in a vision, hand held up with the five fingers saying, 3-0-5-0-6. Then I heard, it is a zip code. I come home and 30506 is the zip code for Gainesville, GA. This city is literally on my path for the week long adventure we had planned, starting in North Carolina and ending in Georgia. 

This dream led to a prophetic adventure in Gainesville, GA. But this zip code is what led me to the exact location God wanted us at which was Lake Lanier Olympic Park. Lake Lanier has a reputation among those who live there for there is a city that was flooded and is underneath this lake. The name of the city is Oscarville. 

There is much to say about this city, but a little research will reveal why God sent us there. Four of us women went to this spot, salted the water and declared 2 Kings 2, no more death any longer here. We decreed life over that lake. Then we broke the spirt of racism over the area by blowing the shofar with the four of us in agreement. 

The Lord loves the land and anything that is producing death, we show up and release the sound, the salt and the speech of life over it. Now death has been swallowed up in victory again, for death was defeated while we were in Gainesville, GA at 30506. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org 

Movement, momentum, advancement, progress, all words that we love to proclaim, preach and promise to people who hear our voice. But not all movement is loud, not all advancement is swift, not all progress is instant. People have a pace and God has a pace. The challenge we face is when our pace is faster than God’s pace.

There is a lot happening in the earth realm right now. There are tectonic plates in the natural and in the spirit moving as we speak. There are alterations happening behind the scenes we cannot even see, hear or understand. Like blood flowing in our body, there is continual movement happening both externally and internally.

In the midst of movement, there is an invitation to behold the wonderful. I was reading Proverbs 30 this morning and my spirit hovered over these verses: There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yes, four which I do not understand: The way of an eagle in the air, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the midst of the sea, And the way of a man with a virgin.

The word wonderful in Hebrew is pala. It is the vocabulary of standing before something that exceeds categorization. We categorize everything. Before someone opens their mouth we have them in a category. After we have known them we categorize them. But God says, slow down, there is something wonderful I want you to see. Something uncategorizable.

In Isaiah 9:6 God is called wonderful (uncategorizable) counselor; in Judges 13 the Angel declares his name as “It is Wonderful”; and in Psalm 139:14 it says, you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

David stands inside the womb, marveling that he himself is hidden, formed in secret, “in the depths of the earth” as he puts it in 139:15, and yet fully known to God the whole time. This is wonderful, you are wonderful, uncategorizable.

I pray you slow down enough, consistently, to behold the wonderful, there are many things in the world that are beyond categorization. If we could stand in wonder we may find it easier to love one another. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
