Welcome to the time of evidence! We have been saying a lot of words; we have prayed a lot of prayers; we have waited and waited; but I am here today to declare to you it is time for evidence. We cannot be effective witnesses without corroborating evidence to support our words. People have heard our talk, but now they are about to see our evidence of the kingdom of God is here on earth.

Acts 1:8 says, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

God has opened up the windows of heaven and evidence is being poured out on us His people. We will testify big, we will shout loud, we will have proof that our God is alive, that He hears prayers and that He is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19).

It will no longer be said of us, they say so much and see so little. We will be a people who carry evidence, proof of what God has done. This will no longer be invisible evidence, it will be visible evidence. Witnesses who have credibility carry with them evidence of what God did.

Marriages are being restored…evidence! Finances are exploding…evidence! Debts are being cancelled…evidence! Healing is happening…evidence! Prodigals are returning…evidence! Revivals are breaking out…evidence! Love is not just a word it is an atmosphere…evidence!

Evidence is going to break the back of religion, because His presence is coming with evidence that He is God. Nothing, no one, can stop the outpouring of evidence that has been released from heaven to earth. Mark my words, we have entered the time of evidence. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Welcome to the season where we sing songs called Joy to the World; Winter Wonderland; and Jingle Bells. Lights are on, trees are up, gifts are being bought, the air is electric with excitement. Parties are a plenty; festival foods are being prepared. Oh the fun of this month. People will get time off work, travel to see family and possibly open gifts that are wrapped under a tree.

Add to that the prices of silver and gold rising, companies and Presidents donating billions of dollars to children’s investment accounts. Some are calling it the greatest wealth transfer we have ever seen as tariffs are bringing back manufacturing and bringing billions of dollars into the USA. The shift is on, the rocket is launching, and the ground is shaking for the making of all things new.

If you listen closely, there is also a whisper in the air, pulling on those with ears to hear. “Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.” (Proverbs 3)

Wealth apart from wisdom is going to be temporary, but wisdom with wealth will yield transformation of nations. James 1:5 tells us “If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives generously to all and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” Friends please ask for wisdom. People are the most valuable asset and wisdom show us how to be blessed to bless others. Www.apostolicresourcecenterorg

I have spent way too many years trying to understand what or who the thief was in my life. I saw the thief steal time, money, relationships, emotional energy, and space in my head. I thought the thief was some person or some place. Then I went through an incredibly challenging situation this summer, not knowing God was going to use it to catch the thief and evict it from me once and for all. 

The thief was not a person, nor was it a place; the thief was not a politician or a system; the thief was a root of abandonment that was planted in my heart long long ago. It was not planted by people, a person, or a place, this was the work of the enemy. Matthew 13:26 says, “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’” 

The enemy used this root to steal from me for 55 years, but with one scripture in one of the most challenging summers of my life, God Himself uprooted the root; removed the thief; and set this prisoner of plunder free. I can literally feel the difference, see the change and am walking as though I have been given a brand new life. 

Fear of man, gone. Need for approval, gone. Attention seeking, gone. Emotional energy wasting, done. Needing to explain myself, done. Beating myself up, done. All of it and so much more, gone, done. 

I have been watching, listening, walking through some things and the change is so obvious to me and others around me, I don’t even recognize myself. When you live with a root for that many years, not realizing it is coloring everything you see, hear and do, when it is gone, it is like being given a brand new life. The root of abandonment was the thief and the thief has been caught, uprooted, and who I was created to be is finally here. 

Friends, I don’t know what root is plundering you, what thief is stealing from you, what the enemy has planted in you, but I can tell you honestly, it is not a flesh and blood battle, it is a root planted by the enemy that God wants to uproot. Once it is gone you will see clearly, love deeply, give generously and walk humbly. After 55 years, I finally know what abundant life feels like, sounds like, and looks like. The root is gone and everything looks different now. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org 

Wanting someone else to be what you are not willing to be is an injustice; expecting someone to do something for you that you are not willing to do for others is an injustice; criticizing someone else for an attitude or behavior that you yourself display is an injustice. We are long over due as the body of Christ to take the plank out of our own eye, so we can see clearly the speck in someone else’s eye (Matthew 7:3-5).

Today is the first day of a new month on the Gregorian calendar and it is the eleventh day of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar. As I wrote these numbers down to start my day of reading, praying, journaling, the Lord said, “Today is a 111 day.” This prompted me to do some random reading of 11:1 passages.

I began in Deuteronomy 11:1 and learned about the four different words charge, statue, ordinance and commandment, for they are not synonymous. Then I went to Isaiah 11:1 and looked into the words shoot, spring, stem, branch, roots, and fruits. I paused at Psalm 11:1 and noticed the difference between refuge and fleeing. But I could not get past Proverbs 11:1 as I studied false balance, just weight, abomination and delight.

What I learned is that this is not only about business ethics, but it is about relational integrity and the nature of God. A false balance is premeditated manipulation, it can mean being two-faced; inconsistent; deceptive; or self-serving. God calls it an abomination.

Abomination is one of the strongest words in Hebrew, because any spiritual, emotional or relational manipulation is equivalent to false scales and God detests it because it violates His nature. These words stopped me dead in my tracks and I heard in my spirit, “The church, has taken on the Name of the Lord, but has not taken on His nature.”

Friends, we are the church, it is not a building, it is people, believers. We call ourselves Christians, we have taken on the Name, but we are long overdue to take on the nature of God. We must realize this is not about a Name only it is about His nature as well. For us to be a just weight, whole, sound, we must take on the nature of God and this will bring Him delight. We must add His nature to His name in our lives. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Perception Deception is what the Lord is dealing with in this hour. We don’t even realize we have it, because deception is so deceiving and we believe we are seeing clearly, but the Lord calls it perception deception and it is distorting our ability to see. The Lord is healing our sight, for He wants us to see clearly what He is doing in this hour.

I had never put those two words together before like that, but God did while I was in prayer this morning. He showed me how perception deception is hindering us as believers more than we realize. If we can’t see clearly, we won’t act appropriately or speak authentically.

Matthew 6:22-23 says, “The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!”

When we see things through our pain, shame, guilt, unbelief, insecurity, disappointments, envy, greed, anger, or any other challenge we are facing, we will have perception deception because none of those filters will give us a clear view of people, places or situation we are seeing. This is why God is dealing with our perception deception.

We all have it, this is not a word for someone else, this is a word for me, for you, for us. The Lord is is wanting us to admit we have perception deception in operation and we have viewed things wrongly. We believe we are seeing it correctly, but God says we are seeing it wrong and He is always right, so we are being invited to repent.

This is not to shame us but to heal us; not to condemn us, but to correct us up. The desire of the Lord is always for us to see things clearly, so we can be the solution to what we are seeing, but we must see it clearly or we will only add to the problem. The call is to repent of perception deception so we can see clearly all the great things God is doing in people, places and situations. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

We have been taught a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. We have been trained to believe something we can see or access now is better than something that is unseen and inaccessible in the now. But the kingdom of God is a delayed gratification culture. Most of what God gives us happens in seed (words) form, then bears fruit, great multitudes of fruit over time.

Immaturity is revealed in our need to have it now. Maturity is willing to patiently wait for the promise that was spoken in seed form, even when it is not visible. The older we get the more we experience the consequences and challenges of jumping on what was seen rather than waiting on the promise that was heard.

People hear something and believe it to be true, only later to find out what they heard and acted on bore bad fruit, but it sounded so good in the moment. Proverbs 18:8 says, “The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.” It tastes so good in the moment, but the results are painful.

I was reading Isaiah 36 this morning and it speaks of a man named Rabshekah, who is a military commander for the king of Assyria. He is offering Israel and alternative to the promises spoken through Hezekiah from Yahweh. The challenge is the words of God are in seed from, the promises of the enemy are in now time.

Isaiah 36 “Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in Judean and said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria. Thus says the king, ‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for thus says the king of Assyria, ‘Make your peace with me and come out to me, and eat each of his vine and each of his fig tree and drink each of the waters of his own cistern, until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards. Beware that Hezekiah does not mislead you.”

There are two voices vying for your affection, one is promising now time benefits, the other is promising a future that is bright and substantive. One you can see in the natural, another one is being built in the invisible. The choice is yours. I can only speak for me, waiting has been so worth it. I heard a promise from the Lord and He is always faithful, though it tarry, wait for it. Don’t take the bait of Rabsheka. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Something shifted in the atmosphere; a demarcation line has been crossed; new, something new, very new, like we have not known before new is upon us. I can’t describe it, I can’t define it, but it is a reality we have not known before. Truth we have only heard about is descending like dew on us, watering dry and weary souls. Hope like we have longed for is illuminating dark places in our hearts. Oh how I can see it, I know it is upon us.

There is a newness in the air, a shift in the atmosphere, truly all things are becoming new, the old is gone, the new has come. I know we can’t see it, but can you sense it? We have been given multiple not mono senses, we need to activate all of them for sight is only one of them.

Isaiah 35:10 says it this way, “Those whom the Eternal One has recalled from a punishing exile, they will go along so easily. They will walk this path, Come waltzing to Zion, singing their way to that place of right relation to God. An aura of joy never-ending will attend them; they will clasp gladness and joy to their hearts, While sadness and despair evaporate into thin air.” It is not the Christmas spirit, it is the Spirit of the Living God we are experiencing.

Joy is replacing mourning; healing is overriding sickness; love, real love is healing brokenness; poverty is giving way to prosperity; prayers are being answered, relationships are being restored, families are being reunited, the old is gone the new has come!!!

I wrote this in my journal this morning…It is the craziest feeling, I look at the date, I know my age, but have this sense life has only just begun. December 1, 2025 feels like a marker in time, a whole new life beginning, a whole new world emerging. I can’t explain it with words, but I can sense all things have become new. The old is gone, the new has truly come.

This is not individual, this is not one church, one city, one place, this is nation, it is international, it is powerful, it is God coming to earth with glory we have not seen or heard before. It is an all things are new era! Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Twas the day before Thanksgiving (in America) and all through the stores, the people are buying food for those they adore. Shopping carts are full, table cloths are ironed, food will go in the oven and door bells will ring. Oh the joy of the holidays and the fun that it brings.

Holidays are to be times of celebration. A time to gather around a table with friends and family alike. It is time to eat food you usually only eat once a year, which is why it is so cherished and missed if it is not on the table. For it is not about the food, it is about the celebration that the food represents.

I was in a store the other day and I overheard a conversation between two cashiers, one saying to the other, after a challenging customer just left her register. She said, “That was nothing, it will only get worst as the days go on.” I paused and thought, this is probably true, but oh so sad.

I was pondering this scenario this morning and the Lord said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law.” (Hebrews 10:8). I realized the Lord was saying, some have turned the holidays into a must buy, must perform, must provide time of the year and it stresses them out.

The next thing the Lord said was, “If there is no joy in the celebration, do not buy anything for the celebration. It is meant to be a time of rejoicing not sacrificing.” I realized right then and there, we can sacrifice time, give offerings of food and drink, but miss the celebration of this season we are in.

The Lord is inviting us into the celebration! Smile, have fun, enjoy this time of the year. If it stresses you out, you are missing the whole point. Yes there are turkeys to make, cakes to bake, and drinks to provide, but it is all for the sake of the celebration. Those people working want to celebrate as well, so let’s make this time of the year a time of celebration, not obligation. Enjoy yourselves, it is festival time. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Rising and falling of empires, nations, kingdoms of this world is a reality that we have seen throughout history. Egypt used to be the king of the hill, until the Assyrians took over that position. At one time Alexander the Great conquered lands for Rome, so another empire could stand with their flag on the proverbial hill and declare, I am the king of the world.

More recently there has been talk of Russia, China, Iran or even America as empires that seek to dominate the landscape of earth and be declared king of the world. All of these kingdoms rise and they fall. We know this from history, but the mystery is in why people keep putting all their time, energy and effort into an empire that will end?

No wonder Jesus said, “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36) Empire entrepreneurs feel like they are conquering a hill, taking land, or fighting a valiant fight, only in the end to find out, like every other man or empire before them the same fate awaits them.

God put the desire to take the mountain in us. Caleb said at 80 years old, “Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day.” (Joshua 14:12). The issue is not the desire to conquer, to pursue, overtake and recover all, the issue is what mountain are you taking, what kingdom are you building?

Psalm 142:12-13 says, “Until everyone on earth who has ears to hear knows Your valiant acts and the splendor of Your kingdom. Your kingdom will never end; Your rule will endure forever.” The kingdom of God is a mountain that will never end, you can take and keep on taking ground in the kingdom of God on earth. What a pursuit, what an adventure, what an honor.

Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” When you do this, you gain everything and lose nothing. Www.apostolicresourececenter.org

Do you believe God has good planned for you? Do you honestly believe He wants you to live a blessed life? We are really good at saying the right things but when it comes down to it we do not always believe what we say, let alone what others may say to us. There is good reason for this, we have been lied to a lot, by people, not by God.

In times of transition, our beliefs are revealed to us. Great things can be happening to us, but then these nagging thoughts of “what if” or people’s comments about “well this is what happened to me”, arise around us or in us. In those moments when those thoughts come, the Lord is teaching me to cast them down by giving them no air time.

I did not realize how sneaky thoughts are in their sniper like attack when blessing after blessing is arriving. Great things are all around and here come these pesky thoughts that seek to be like flies in the ointment. They are not of God and honestly, when God is blessing us, they have no right in the conversation. So, I am learning to cast them down upon arrival.

I was reading Psalm 144 this morning and this is my prayer for you, for my nation and your nation, my city and your city, my family and your family. Anything contrary to this, must be cast down.

“May our sons be like healthy plants as they grow and mature, And may our daughters be like the corner pillars that decorate a palace. May our storehouses be full with abundant supplies of every crop, And may the flocks of our fields multiply into thousands and tens of thousands! May our cattle be strong and productive, without miscarriage, without loss, and may there be no riots or protests in our streets!”

The blessings of God are coming one upon another for the season has changed in a significant way, but those old pesky thoughts must be removed and cast down quickly, for what God is doing was His idea and He is not going to let some old lie hinder the new things He is giving to us. Cast it down, it’s not allowed in this new season. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
