God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them:
“Be fertile and multiply and fill the earth… Be fertile, then, and multiply;
abound on earth and subdue it.”

THIS word was impressed upon me yesterday afternoon, a word bursting with passion and grief:
Why are you rejecting Me, My people? What is so terrible about the Gospel — the Good News — which I bring you?
I came into the world to forgive your sins, that you may hear the words, “Your sins are forgiven.” How terrible is this?

ARE you feeling overwhelmed by the “signs of the times”? Tired of reading prophecies that speak of dire events? Feeling a bit cynical about it all, like this reader?Continue reading

THIS morning after prayer, I felt moved to re-read a crucial meditation I wrote some seven years ago called Hell Unleashed. I was tempted to simply resend that article to you today, as there is so much in it that was prophetic and critical for what has now unfolded over the past year and a half. How true those words have become!
However, I will just summarize some key points and then move on to a new “now word” that came to me during prayer today… Continue reading
