It’s been seven and a half years now since my first encounter with Jesus in a dream. I was walking along a road when I looked up to see Jesus standing in the clouds, big and tall and majestic. At first, I saw only His feet, a gigantic nail protruding from the top of each foot. Then, very slowly, the clouds rolled away to reveal Jesus standing there looking straight down at me. At the sight of Him I bowed…..

As the whole of Florida hunkered down last weekend and braced themselves for the worst as Hurricane Irma beat down upon them with the force of a category 4 storm, there was nothing on the radar, as far as I could see, for Northeast America. However, on the first night of the storm, I dreamt that we, here in the Northeast, were also experiencing torrential rain with the same intensity as the downpour in Florida. The floodwaters were quickly rising…..
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who…..

Loving thoughts of You stay with me throughout each day. Every moment spent in Your presence is a special treasure. You fill me with a love so beautiful, A love so rich, so full, so pure, and so…..
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV). The Lord has called me and has sent me to share with you His heart for you. He has seen your oppression, your tears, your…..

The book of Proverbs tells us plainly that if we shut out the cry of the poor, no one will hear us or respond to us in our own times of need. If we however open our ears to their cry and show mercy and love, in our times of needs, someone else will come to our rescue. …..
Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your…..
