When something works we as people like to copy the pattern of success in order to be successful continually. The challenge is, this may work in business, church growth, marriage counseling or raising children, but it does not work in the kingdom of God.

God is a Creator, which means He is creative and very rarely does the same thing twice. People have noted throughout the centuries how Jesus used a variety of ways to heal people. To one he spit on the ground and made mud; to another He spoke a word; to another He allowed them to touch the hem of His garment. Creativity is the way of God.

The same is true in warfare. If we are successful in one way of warfare, we want to employ that same way every time. The challenge is our doing the same thing over and over again is not working and we know it but do not want to admit it.

When God was dealing with Pharaoh, He used 10 plagues; when God was dealing with the Amalekites, He used the raised arms of Moses; when God was dealing with the giants in the land of Canaan, He used hornets. Three different wars, three different methods. God is creative.

Exodus 23:27-28 says, “I will send My terror ahead of you, and throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. I will send hornets ahead of you so that they will drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites before you.”

If you are looking for plagues or raised arms to win the battle of the promised land, you will not be successful, because God is not used those methods in this land, He is using hornets to drive out the enemy. Knowing what God is using, when and where is critical for success in the kingdom.

May we be ones who listen, learn and follow the ways of God, for obedience to His voice is the only way to be successful in the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Safety biblically is not found in size, but in obedience.

Reading Exodus 16 this morning, verse 36 caught my attention. “An omer is one-tenth of an ephah.” I read this verse and thought, why is this even being mentioned, what is the point of a verse like this? Then because it is a verse about a tenth, I thought it had something to do with tithing, for the context is God commanding Aaron to put an Omer of manna in a jar to keep for generations to come. Things that make you go hmmmm.

On the surface I have overlooked this passage, but today, it was a well to dig, a hole to mine, a treasure to hunt. What I learned about this simple verse which seems so insignificant, is actually very profound.

An omer was the daily provision God decided the Israelites needed as they traveled through the wilderness. It was Jesus saying in Matthew 6, give us this day, our daily bread. An omer of manna was their daily sufficiency. However, their disobedience to only collect an omer a day per person, ended up turning into maggots the next day because they disobeyed.

Fear of running out, fear of lack, is a trust issue not a monetary one. Proverbs 30:7-9 says, “Two things I ask of you, LORD; do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the LORD?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.”

The omer is a part of the ephah, if the omer is daily provision, the ephah represents absolute sufficiency. God determines what is enough for us, but as we trust the enough of the omer, we gain access to the ephah or sufficiency.

What we need is only a portion of what He has for us, but we must trust Him with the omer, if we are going to access the ephah. Our faith grows best within God defined limits. Trust His boundaries around you, for He is always wanting to extend them. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Doing life together is a partnership. As we learn to do life with God, we must know His part and know our part. The most effective relationships work when we know and do our part and allow the other person to know and do their part.

To do life together takes trust. The more you trust someone the easier it is to do life with them. The reason being is because you know they will do what they say they will do and they know you will do what you say you will do. There is no manipulation, control, fear, anxiety, or deception. Trust is the key to doing life with others.

As we walk with God, He is truth, He is light, He is hope, He is joy, He is life, He is authentic in the truest sense of the word. Trusting God should be the easiest thing we can do, but you can’t trust who you don’t know.

From Genesis 1 until now, God has wanted to walk with us, He trusts us, wants to do life with us, but we have a role to play in this relationship. Psalm 32:1-2 lays out this relationship perfectly. “Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the LORD does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.”

God forgives our transgressions, covers our sins and does not count them against us. This is His role in this relationship. Our role is to live with no deceit in our spirit. We have been really good at letting God play His role in our lives, being forgiven, but we have not been good at letting the truth set us free from deceit.

Deceit is what has kept us from doing life with God and others. Deceit is the enemy of all relationships. If we do not love truth, no matter what lie that means we must address, we will not be able to do life with God or others, for our role is to have a spirit in which there is no deceit.

No wonder Paul said in Romans 12:2 do not be conformed, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. We must not go another day with the deceit in our spirit that is hindering our ability to do life with God and with others. Truth is the only way, not my truth or your truth, but God’s truth that sets us free. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Immediately upon awaking this morning the Holy Spirit said, “It is time to be circumcised again.” I knew this was a quote from Joshua 5:2 “At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelites again.” Now the question was is this personal or national and as I read the story in which the verse comes from, I knew this was a command for national circumcision.

We have crossed over into a New Year, Israel had crossed over into a new land. Upon arrival in the new, the Lord called for circumcision again. But why? Haven’t we been through enough? Can’t we get to possessing what has been promised? The answer is yes, so we must be circumcised again as a nation.

The wilderness period is over. We are in the new land God has for us. Circumcision in Joshua 5 is tied to promise realized, it is about rolling away the reproach of Egypt, it is about establishing and reconstituting our covenant identity as a nation. We cannot possess the promise until we are marked by circumcision again.

We need this nationally, because all those decades in Egypt/Babylon gave us a slave identity; unfulfilled promises or hope deferred that made our heart sick; and gave us a dependence on Babylon mentality, which caused us to live in survival mode. These things God wants to roll off of us.

Egypt trained us to survive not inherit. Being circumcised again is giving us a new identity so we can begin again. This circumcision is preparing us to possess all that God has for us. We must be circumcised again as a nation.

Once we establish our national identity, we will walk in national authority and then be able to access our national inheritance. This circumcision again is happening to many many nations around the world, not just one, but many. God is preparing nations to inherit what He has promised them.

Our new learning curve is to move from survival to inheriting and this shift will be massive, so it starts with circumcision, which will roll back the reproach of Egypt so we can enjoy this Psalm 126 year where we are like those who dream! Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

I have been given an above and beyond, more than I could have ever asked, thought or imagined gift. It has taken a month to process it and I am still in awe as I ponder what the Lord has done. When the Lord goes above and beyond all you could ask think or imagine, it is overwhelming and thank you does not feel adequate.

While looking at the gift I was given, the Lord spoke to me and said with His holy finger pointing at me, “What I have done for one, I can do for all.” Now as we stand at the finish line of one year and look back to the memories of 2025 and stand at the starting line of 2026 and wonder what does this year hold for us, I hear the Lord saying, “2026 is a Psalm 126 year.”

Psalm 126:1-3 says, “It was like a dream come true when you freed us from our bondage and brought us back to Zion! We laughed and laughed and overflowed with gladness. We were left shouting for joy and singing your praise. All the nations saw it and joined in, saying, The Lord has done great miracles for them! Yes, he did mighty miracles and we are overjoyed!”

I see 2026 as a year where we feel like we are dreaming. We will ask quietly is this my new reality? It is going to be so good, so God and so above and beyond, we will be overwhelmed by His kindness. 2026 is the year dreams are coming true. Bondage will be a history not a current reality, for those who are willing to walk into the words God is speaking.

2026 as a Psalm 126 year is God doing it for one person and doing it for all people; doing it for one nation and doing it for all nations. What we see happen for one, if we believe, will happen for all. Now we can doubt it and then only see it not access it. Moses missed it (Deuteronomy 34); the man at the gate missed it (2 Kings 7); Judas missed it (Matthew 37); but for those who believe, when you see it happen for one, know it can happen for all.

Get ready for a Psalm 126, 2026, the year we feel like we are dreaming; the year the bondage is broken individually, nationally and internationally. It will feel like a dream. It will take major changes in the way we think. It will be a new reality. Faith will keep you moving into the new, for this is a year of movement as dreams are coming true.

Patterns reveal prophetic pictures. Patterns are everywhere. The honeycomb is a pattern; railroad tracks are a pattern; coaches play sheets reveal patterns; sermons follow patterns; people have behavior patterns; cities operate by patterns; companies have cultural patterns. Patterns are everywhere and they reveal things if we can see or hear the pattern.

A pattern has arisen this past year of people suddenly and without notice ending relationships. In the modern vernacular it is called ghosting. This happened to me and I took it very personally, wondering what I did wrong, until the Lord used the sudden ending to heal me.

If this only happened to me it is not a pattern, but since it happened to me, I have had many people, young, old, single, married, friendships, dating relationships all end suddenly. The pattern was the same. Ghosting, one day all was well the next day they stop talking to you, no notice, no warning, no explanation, just done.

I have come to realize this is not an isolated incident, this is intentional, but because it hurts, it takes healing to see it for what it is. Now this may not be all it is, but this is what the Lord showed me this morning what it is. I got a call this week from two people this happened to and they are beside themselves, processing the pain of it the way I did with tears, anger, justification and confusion.

I asked the Lord about this pattern I am seeing in the body of Christ and I heard in my spirit, “That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.” (Matthew 24:40-42). No it is not the rapture, it is seperation.

The separation is the fingerprints of God who is appearing to us right now. We cannot see God, but we can see His fingerprints. Matthew said, when the Son of Man appears there will be separation, suddenly, without notice. God is appearing right now. Can you see His fingerprints?

I don’t know the why, but I do see the what. The what is a pattern of seperation. The mystery is why? If we cannot be comfortable with mystery, we will not see the fingerprints of God in the seperation and shift our eyes from the person we were separated from to the God who is appearing right now.

There are so many questions people are asking as to why, but God is not answering that question, rather He is saying what is happening. Seperation is happening. Why? I don’t know, but what I do know is that if we are experiencing separation it is because He is appearing and I do not want to miss the time of His visitation. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Who’s voice do you value? The voice we value will be the voice we submit our wills to. The voice we value will be the voice we obey. The voice we value will be the voice we let lead us. The voice we value is of utmost importance.

Some people value the voice of science, others the voice of the media, some the voice of influencers or Hollywood, still others the voice of politicians or religious leaders. Whose voice do you value?

Voices in the earth are not mono they are multiple. When the voices we value are conflicting which voice triumphs over all other voices? The voice of family is valuable, the voice of friends carry weight, the voice of leaders add value and the voice of God is in the mix as well.

The voice inside of us is not our own it is a culmination of voices. Culture is a voice that most of us hear and don’t realize how much we capitulate to that voice. Books we read, movies we watch, podcasts we hear, news reports we run across, all have a voice that seed us daily, known or unknown.

Psalm 29 says, “The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.”

I began to weep as I thought about how creation responds to the voice of God, while humanity stiffens its neck to Him. His voice is powerful, His leadership is enjoyable, His attitude is adventurous, His ways are identifiable, but to know all these things we must live with a yes to His voice.

The fear of the Lord is taking God seriously when He speaks. He doesn’t talk to just talk, He talks to lead us, guide us, counsel us, correct us, direct us, and promise us what He sees that we can’t yet. His voice is powerful, but it must be responded to.

We value so many voices, but do we value the voice of God? We each must answer this question. Creation responds to His voice, and Romans 8 says, Creation is eagerly awaiting for us to respond to it as well. Heaven and earth are waiting on us to respond to His voice, maybe today when you hear His voice, you will join creation in saying yes to the most valuable voice, the voice of God.

Jesus is the better One. Better than Moses. To Gentiles these words do not carry the impact or the gut punch that they would have to the Hebrew people. Moses was their deliverer, their savior, their redeemer. He is the one that brought them out of Egypt, through the Red Sea, through the wilderness and pointed them to the promied land. Moses is a larger than life figure in history for the Hebrew people. 

When Hebrews 3:3 says, “Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses”, these would have been fighting words. These words meant Jesus was the new king of the Hebrew hill, symbolically, and it might not have sat well with especially the religious leaders. 

How did Jesus speak a better word, bring a better covenant, do greater works than even Moses? Oh friends, if we can get this it will change the way we think, preach and operate as believers in Jesus the Christ. 

Exodus 7 says, “With the staff that is in my (Moses) hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood. The fish in the Nile will die, and the river will stink; the Egyptians will not be able to drink its water.

The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt—over the streams and canals, over the ponds and all the reservoirs—and they will turn to blood.’ Blood will be everywhere in Egypt, even in vessels of wood and stone.”

That was Moses, water to blood. This is Jesus, water to wine. John 2 says, “When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine. Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.” 

Moses water to blood was not drinkable, but Jesus’s water to wine was the best wine. One brought trouble, the other brought rejoicing. Our words are like water, when we speak them are they turning to blood or wine in the hearts of the hearer? Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org 

Walking with God is an adventure of the likes you cannot describe to people who want to do life on their own, rather than with the Lord. He is so much fun to be around, always sharing His thoughts, His desires, what He is doing with those who are wanting to hear. He loves His people more than we know and He loves to talk to us, if only we loved to listen.

I am reading the book of Exodus right now and the timing of this book is profound to me in what the Lord is saying. The truths in this ancient story are relevant in our current reality. What we read on the surface carries so much more truth, if only we knew how to mine it.

Exodus 6:2-3 says, “God also said to Moses, “I am the LORD. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD I did not make myself fully known to them.”

Two names for God for two distinctly similar but different seasons in history. God Almighty or El Shaddai is who Abraham, Isaac and Jacob knew. The God who makes promises. He promised Abraham land, Isaac descendants and Jacob national blessings. El Shaddai is the promise making God.

Hebrews 11:13 says, “All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.” El Shaddai the promise keeping God.

Now here is Moses and God says I am going to reveal myself to you as the LORD (YHWH – the finisher). What was promised to the patriarchs was experienced by the Israelites with Moses. They entered the promised land, they walked through the Red Sea, the saw the 10 plagues, they multiplied greatly with descendents, they experienced national blessing. All the works of YHWH, the LORD.

Friends, we are of the generation that knows YHWH – The LORD – The Finisher. We get to experiences His promises not just hear about them. He is fully known to us. Jesus said, “It is finished!” I pray you know the LORD, the one who finishes what He starts. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

We are made of unstoppable stock. Our bloodline is one of increase, multiplication, fruitfulness and it is unstoppable. This is not something you have to become, it is something you have to realize. If it were not true why would there be any attack on you?

If authority, power, greatness, increase was not inside of you, then what would the enemy need to harass you for? Why would anyone care what you are doing, if you were not doing something that was threatening them or the kingdom they represent?

We are of the seed of Abraham, which means we are of the bloodline of Israel. The Israelites were a people who increased, multiplied, became numerous, to the point where the enemy could not handle them so they had to oppress them.

Exodus 1 says, “The more [the Egyptians] oppressed them, the more they multiplied and expanded, so that [the Egyptians] were vexed and alarmed because of the Israelites.”

Israel was unstoppable and this vexed and alarmed the Egyptians. You know what? The more you increase the more the enemy is afraid of you, which is why he seeks to steal from you, kill you, destroy you, but you are made of an incorruptible, indestructible seed that cannot be killed or stopped. The spirit of replenishing is inside of you.

I wanted to remind you today, that you come from unstoppable stock. Your bloodline is one of increase, growth, and multiplication. The seed of Christ is in you, nothing can stop the One who is in you, for greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. Just a reminder of who you are and whose you are.
