Check out this video.  Excellent! I’ve often said that we need a prophet ahead of a politician in office.  Meaning, someone who is zealous for Jesus, listens to God intently on a moment by moment basis, declares the Word to the nation and steers America based on what she gains from the prayer closet ahead of the Oval Office. As we see leaders who are “Revelation Driven” step up, the entire landscape of our nation will abruptly and powerfully ... Read More

Here are some great quotes on revival (the first one is my favorite): "There is nothing wrong with the command of God to 'stone the false prophet!' The problem is that the church has discerned wrongly and stoned the true prophet! That is why there are no more true prophets in our days, because as soon as they begin their ministry, we rub them out. This is the reason that so many false prophets are running around, ...

First, let’s choose a definition for revival.  There are many, but my favorite is: Revival occurs when God is free to operate according to his will in a person, in a church, in a city or in a nation.  Inherent in this definition is the expected responsiveness of the church.  Now, while this definition is simple and clear, there are a myriad of complexities that must be addressed.  Threats, learning curves, personal brokenness, ...

I had some difficulty switching to a new email newsletter service today, so I had to start nearly from scratch.  My list of contacts went from over 1400 to just a few, so chances are you have been lost!

OR, you can also subscribe at www.praytherevolution.com/subscribe.htm. I’m ... Read More

I’ve always held that we as believers have an unique opportunity and responsibility to effectively get our message out.   Of course, I have my own design and marketing business, so this is a topic that’s close to my heart. I often meet ministers who are tentative about marketing their ministries.  They feel that promotion of ministry equals promotion of self.  I always argue that excellent promotion of ministry, when done well with pure motives, equals promotion of God and the ...

I laughed when I saw a review from the New York Times on the production that included several scenes from Revolution (or, as they call it, Revolutionary) House of Prayer.  They had scenes of Mission Manitou, “prayer in the cave”, preaching and prophecy.  Plus, the ‘ending’ that you will see referenced is of me podcasting in the car as I’m driving from Colorado Springs to Kansas City.   I also clipped some quotes the placed in one of their brochures.  You can ...

I just read this news clip online.  It’s about one of the best stories of spiritual mapping and dealing with demons in a geographic region.  Thomas Muthee has quite a story, and this clip is in response to his appearance at Sarah Palin’s church:  Another controversial preacher is making news. His name is Thomas Muthee, a Kenyan pastor who has preached at Gov. Sarah Palin’s former Assembly of God church in Wasilla, AK and claims to ... Read More

After a long day of work, I thought I’d take a break and share (for no reason at all), via images, what I enjoy.  So, as I watch an episode of Little House on the Prairie with my family, I’ll insert some images (in no particular order) .  My wife feels this is a complete waste of time, and there is no eternal value in this.  I agree.  Anybody out there enjoy the same stuff? ...

I’ve often shared that I can’t think about Hell more than 5 or 6 seconds before I have to intentionally shut down the thought.  It’s extremely unsettling and difficult for me to visit that place, even in thought. Some people have visited Hell and have been forever changed.  I never made it there, but was grabbed by the ankles and dragged there… but woke up before I made it.  You can read about it in my ...

I am ready to pour myself into any city on the earth, as God leads, that is ready and serious about city-wide transformation.  If you are serious, ready and prepared for a life-altering step toward the biblical pursuit of revival, and there are 120 others who can say the same thing, contact me.  Let’s talk. First, listen to a quick 10 minute or so podcast on this topic, then let me know if God might be striking your ... Read More
