About 8 years ago the Lord spoke to me and said, “I have enough people above ground, but I have very few people underground. Would you be willing to go underground for Me and do some work?” I immediately said, “I would be honored to do anything you need Lord.” 

A friend of mine, once said, a healed land is a healed people. The Hebrew people understand the land, they are not just a nation, they are a nation, a people and a land. The connection is so tight, it is inseparable. As Americans we do not have this understanding, but the Lord has taught me how much He loves the people and the land called America and so do I. 

Going underground meant redigging wells according to Genesis 26; salting rivers according to 2 Kings 2; pouring oil on the soil and salting the land (very rarely) according to Genesis 19; and releasing the sound of salvation for the nation by blowing the shofar according to Joel 2. All of these things and more was God bring healing to the land He called me to preach to called America. 

I am in Mississippi right now and right before we crossed into the city we would be staying in, I got a phone call to pray, then the next thing we saw was the Pearl River. The very river that flows through this city. We got out of the car, blew the shofar and declared this city will recognize Jesus as the pearl of great price. This 444 mile long river, was tuned to the frequency of heaven through the sound of the shofar, then we salted the river declaring neither death nor barrenness any longer in this location and region. 

This river is the border for Mississippi and Louisiana of which we are literally 10 miles from the border. Then after a powerful meeting outside under the stars as the glory of God wafted into that location as we worshipped, we stopped at a store on the way home. Then after young people in the store said, be careful at your hotel, for the gangs in this city are mean. They told us to be careful multiple times. 

God knew about this city and what they needed, we didn’t, but now the Pearl River is salted, the sound of the shofar has been blown and whether they know it or not, their land is being healed. What was run by gangs of people who wanted to cause harm will now be run by the kingdom of God that comes to heal, save and deliver. We are called to heal the land. 

Psalm 115:16 “The heavens belong to our God; they are his alone, but he has given us the earth and put us in charge.” 

When a spirit of intimidation arises it seeks to stop forward progress. It can come through words spoken, a circumstance you did not see coming, or a variety of other things. The goal of intimidation is the same, stop forward movement. Many Christians call it an attack, I would say it is more of an ambush. The enemy of our souls tries to ambush us, to scare us, to intimidate us.

This morning while walking the dog, which is an every morning occurrence, a situation arose in which a dog on a leash came charging toward my dog, barking, and it was still dark. The owner had another dog he was holding, so how this one got out of his grip I am not sure, but it was very unusual, for I see this young man with two dogs all the time.

Notwithstanding, my dog and his dog start fighting, and then I grab my dog, who is a dauschund, put him in my arms to give him some elevation for safety and I speak gently to the other dog, so the owner can grab the leash. The other dog he is holding on the leash is bigger and meaner than the one he is trying to grab the leash for.

It was an unusual morning to say the least, but as I was walking home, I sensed it was a spirit seeking to intimidate me, to make me afraid to walk in the morning with my dog, like I do everyday. As I sat at my desk, preparing to open my bible the Holy Spirit said, “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” I smiled and said yes, yes, yes you are right.

I then open to pray Psalm 114 and it says, “Many years ago the Jewish people escaped Egypt’s tyranny, so that Israel, God’s people of praise, would become his holy sanctuary, his kingdom on the earth. The Red Sea waters saw them coming and ran the other way! Then later, the Jordan River too moved aside so that they could all pass through. The land shuddered with fear. Mountains and hills shook with dread.”

The ambush came with a spirit of intimidation, but the Holy Spirit came with a reminder for me and for all of us, that creation trembles as we move throughout the earth, the enemy flees when we resist him, and greater is is He in you, in me, than he that is in the world. There is truly nothing to fear nor be intimidated by. God is for us, so who or what can be against us. Have a great weekend friends. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

I was praying for some people that have shared with me they are struggling with depression. Not debilitating depression, but a low hummmm of depression that keeps them locked into a cycle of defeat, discouragement, disappointment and despair.

While praying for them the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “Expression is the answer for depression.” I immediately looked up the definition of expression and it reveals expression as manifestation, communication, utterance, and act or product of pressing out.

An act or product of pressing out stood out to me, for people that are dealing with any level of depression do not want to press out of it, they say they can’t. So, I looked up depression as a word, not clinically, rather definitionally. Depression is low spirits, sadness, despair, loneliness, reduction in activity or force, a pressing down, lowering or hollow.

The reduction in activity or force is what stuck out to me about depression and it explained to me why the Lord said, “Expression is the answer to depression.” When we reduce our output due to depression the answer is to press out or increase our expression in order to break out of depression.

This activity can include prayer, praise, service to others, communication, walking, excercise, anything that causes us to express ourselves. The feeling is to do nothing when depression comes, but the call of God is to do something. “Expression is the answer to depression.”

Proverbs 13:12 says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.” Then Proverbs 17:22 says, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

There are many reasons to be depressed, but the answer to depression is expression says the Lord. Now we get to choose what we are going to do, will we remain depressed or will we rise up and start to express how great our God is. The way out of depression is expression.

For the past 24 hours the Lord has been saying, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” (Exodus 3:5). Over and over again I am hearing, “Tell my people, take off your shoes, the place where you are standing is holy ground.”

We are a go kind of people. If someone says something we don’t like we go find another friend. If we don’t like the prices of a product, we go to another store. If we don’t agree with the Pastor of the church we are in, we find another church. If we don’t think we are in love any more we go find another mate. Nothing in society is holy any more. Everything is treated as common and so we have no reason to stay anywhere.

The Lord is saying to us HIs people, “Take off your shoes, where you are standing is holy ground.” What ground is holy? Holy means something that is set apart. This can be a relationship, a place, a person, a room in your house, it depends in some cases and in other cases it is biblical.

Marriage is holy ground (Hebrews 13:4). Take off your shoes, no running away from your covenant partner. Covenant friendships are holy ground, stop running away out of offense for the Bible says, wounds from a friend can be trusted (Proverbs 27:6). Churches that preach the truth about Jesus Christ are holy ground (Matthew 16:18). The Bible is holy ground (Hebrews 4:12), take off your shoes, stopping running away from the word of God.

We know that when we take our shoes off it “grounds” us. We do it so we can be grounded physically as we should, but we also need to take off our shoes, so we are grounded in marriage, friendship, church, the Word of God. Friends, the Lord is saying, take off your shoes, stop running away, the places you are standing are holy ground. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Extreme generosity is an attribute of our God many do not know how to process. His continual giving of love, grace, mercy, forgiveness, peace, and a pathway to return is astounding. The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in love, these are not just words, this is who He is. He is good in a way we cannot comprehend; He is faithful despite our continual pushing Him away; He remains the same even when we change our mind with every wayward word we listen to. He is who we are called to be.

The challenge with us as people is that we do not know how to appreciate generosity. Generosity actually breeds in us contemptment because it exposes our shame, reveals our reality that we feel worthless, and exposes our negative thoughts about ourselves, so we push away abundance. We can’t handle generosity either financially, emotionally or in proximity, because we are suspicious of an alterior motive behind the giving.

The reason we as people do not become more like Jesus is because we don’t know how to be loved, so we don’t know how to receive love and therefore, actually can’t give love. Therefore, we are Isaiah 29:13 which Jesus quoted in Matthew 15:8, “The Lord said: These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.”

We default to rules taught by men, we sound spiritual, act religious and our hearts may be missed by people but are clearly seen by God. The Lord is after our hearts, people may not be able to discern our hearts, but God sees them so clearly. People see numbers, buildings, manifestations of money, but God, and people who are lovers like God see our hearts.

Friends, it’s way past time we stop the charades of Christianity, looking the part but honestly our heart is far from God and other people. It is high time we repent of honoring with our lips but having hearts far from God and others. The Lord always looks at our hearts. Christianity always has been and always will be a matter of the heart. Www.apostolicresourecenter.org

We have been told the reason people cannot detect deception is because deception is deceiving, cunning, sneaky, hard to detect. But what if the reason we cannot detect deception is because we do not love the truth? What if our measure of love for truth is the indicator of our ability to discern, discover and detect deception when it arises?

One of the observations I have made is people do not really love the truth. We may believe we love the truth, but truth aligns us, conforms us, transforms us, renews us, revives us, reveals us, and strengthens us. When we love the truth, we listen for it in every sermon, we search for it in every situation, we promote it, we declare it and we stand for it no matter the cost.

Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 2 “The presence of the “outlaw” is apparent by the activity of Satan, who uses all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs, spurious wonders, and every form of evil deception in order to deceive those who are perishing because they rejected the love of the truth that would lead them to being saved.” This is not about our initial salvation experience, this is about our daily lives. The love of truth makes us whole. Keeps us revived. Keeps us teachable, humble and desiring more truth.

David said this in Psalm 51:6, “You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.” Just because we said a prayer and are going to heaven does not mean we love truth, which is why so many people are easily decieved. We do not recognize the deception we have believed, because we do not love the truth.

We need to repent of not being lovers of truth. We need to examine ourselves to find out if we are living in the truth. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and Jesus is the Word, if you are not a lover of the Word of God, it will be hard to say you are a lover of truth. Friends, we love money, we love revival, we love titles, we love the beach, we love so many things, but if we do not love the truth, we are more deceived than we realize. I pray you would love the truth, for it is the truth that sets you free. (John 8:32) Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Have you ever been so full that even the sight of food is not tempting nor desirable? I have heard it said, the best time to go grocery shopping is after you have eaten, then you don’t buy what you don’t need.

I was reading 1 Thessalonians 1 this morning and a concern rose in my spirit that we are so saturated, satiated and stuffed with words, we are no longer convicted. We listen to podcasts, go to church services to hear sermons, watch YouTube videos and listen to interviews on Rumble, but nothing is convicting us.

When I first got saved in 1989, when I heard the word of God, I was convicted. My life was so out of alignment and so far from truth, when I heard truth, I was convicted. The longer I have been saved, the more in alignment my heart is with the word of God, but I still get convicted when I read something for it reveals the alignment needs to be adjusted.

Paul says, “For our gospel came to you not merely in the form of words but in mighty power infused with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction.” There is a gospel that brings conviction, comes with power, and is infused with the Holy Spirit. It is the gospel of the kingdom that Jesus preached. It is the gospel of Christ in you the hope of glory that Paul preached.

Is it possible we have been hearing another gospel, one that is not convicting us? Have we treated the Word of God casually because it is preached lightly? When is the last time you were convicted by the Word of God? The softer our hearts are, the more easily we will be convincted, because we want to be in alignment with the truth that sets us free.

I pray for messengers of the kingdom to speak out who are infused with the Holy Spirit, operate in mighty power and preach the gospel which brings conviction not just to unbelievers, but to church goers, pew sitters, podcast creators, social media influencers. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Have you ever wondered why we as people struggle to have the mind of Christ? Why there are over 350,000 denominations in the Christian Church? Why division is more prevelant than unity? Identifying the problem is easy, for it is obvious, but what is the solution? Is it a new church model? Is it another person planting another church? Is it a different person leading worship? Is it switching churches? Is it stopping going to church all together? People have tried all of these things, none of them have worked.

What if the solution is simpler than we even recognize or realize? What if the issue is not some corporate situation, which is actually just micro people joining together to become a corporate expression, what if the issue is faith? The very word that got us saved, keeps us alive, gives us hope, renders to us peace and sets us free. Faith, not in what some person says, faith in what the word of God says.

Hebrews 4:2 in the Passion Translation says, “We have heard the good news of deliverance just as they did, yet they didn’t join their faith with the Word. Instead, what they heard didn’t affect them deeply, for they doubted.”

This verse is packed with power, precision, and truth. The gospel is good news, but only if we believe what we hear. If you don’t hear the good news, or if we do not let the good news affect us deeply, we will create some other news that is more suited to what we want to believe, rather than what the Bible says. The solution to our problem is we don’t believe the good news, we have believed other news.

This is not a new issue, this is the same old issue they dealt with in the wilderness; when the 10 spies brought back a bad report; and why people could not agree on the answer to the question Jesus asked, “Who do the people say I am?” Friends, the gospel has been and always will be good news about a good God, and a faithful Messiah. Nothing has changed. Will you believe the good news? Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

I have been a Christian since a radical encounter in the back row of a youth room in a Evangelical Lutheran Church. The year was 1989, I had bleach blond hair, a black leather jacket, cigarettes in the inside pocket, angry, rebellious, broken, but sitting in this youth room with these people I did not know. It was there that I heard God speak to me while listening to these people sing songs I had never heard before. He said, “I love you and I will never lie to you!” This was 36 years ago.

Praying Psalm 107 this morning sparked this memory and brought me through the timeline of my history with God. Going back to the beginning helps us realize how far we have come, how faithful He has been and how much we have been rescued from. The psalmist says in verse 43 “If you are truly wise, you’ll learn from what I’ve told you. It’s time for you to consider these profound lessons of God’s great love and mercy!”

One of the things I say and believe in my core is, “I must never forget where I came from, for in this, I will always be able to find the gold in others, no matter where they may be in their current situation.” The reflection was good this morning, for it causes love to bubble up in me for others, because of how deeply loved I am by the One who created me.

1 Corinthians 13 says, “If we have not love, it profits us nothing.” The very reason we are Christians is because God loved us, loves us, and will not ever not love us, and yet the church is known for many things, but love is not one many say about us. Maybe it’s time to remember who we used to be, so we can see how loved we are. When we know we are loved, loving others comes naturally. Love is the principle thing, love is the air we breath in the kingdom, love is what saves us, redeems us and restores us. But it is not just about being loved, it is about loving. We must learn to love again, for without love we can do nothing. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

When religion meets politics nothing changes, for they are of the same spirit, but carry different names. Religion is a political spirit with a “spiritual” name. Religion and politics at the core have no desire to change, they want everything to remain the same. This is why politicians stay in office for decades, and why churches hire people who are more of the same.

We have had religion in politics long before the prophets started going to the White House and faith offices opened. Religion like politics plays the game but will never bring about change.

The kingdom of God is a government and when the kingdom invades a nation, we will see reformation and transformation. The kingdom of God is its own culture, with its own King, but people are so accustomed to politics and religion they fear a King and a kingdom, because they don’t know how to control it.

On October 18, 2025 there is a “No kings march” scheduled and an estimated 10 million people will take to various city streets to declare “No kings”. This is very biblical, for the religious system of Jesus’ day partnered with the political system and made the same decree, “No king but Caesar!” (John 19:15)

Chuck Pierce prophesied in 2021, that starting on October 18th, everything would change. Many thought it was for that year, but I listened to this word recently and tied it to this date for October 18th is the “No kings” march.
(https://youtu.be/dzRMKKMauT8?si=yoZkGH6aLnwTa9wL)

I am here to decree, just like the decree of Haman to annihilate the Jews in the book of Esther came to nothing, but boomeranged on Haman, so this march will boomerang and will begin the removal of the political and religious gatekeepers that are resisting the kingdom of God on earth. (Matthew 23:13). Shebnah’s are being removed and Eliakim’s are being established (Isaiah 22).

A new narrative will invade the nations as the kingdom of God is at hand and we must repent of our old religious and political ways of thinking, for that old wineskin can’t hold the new wine. We will not have another generation drinking the old wine, echoing the old religious and political rhetoric, but they will declare as circuit riders, the kingdom of God is at hand. We are kings and priests to our God (1 Peter 2:9). Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
