Dream Seed

I suspect that there are many great dream seed stories unfolding right now despite the chaotic world in which we find ourselves. God’s dream seeds are just that. His. And this is the kind of environment in which God-sized dreams seem to appear. A time when the impossible shows up… because He does it. Our part? Well, our part is the faith of a mustard seed.

Performance Revolutionaries

Are you called to be a revolutionary? We need revolutionaries that embrace truth but push the bounds of tradition, if it is false tradition. When you walk with God and listen to God, don’t be surprised, in fact be expecting to receive revolutionary ideas and thoughts. And these ideas from the Almighty will most likely go against group think, lead us out of performance prisons, and open the door to innovation and creativity.

There are No Coincidences

Don’t for a second believe that there are coincidences. Look at life with new eyes and know that God is putting the pieces of your puzzle together with precision, not coincidences. When we walk with Him, listen to His voice, and take Him at His word, look out… Awe happens.

Take Him at His Word

The revelation came in like a 220-volt current to a 110 outlet…There is no experience like receiving a revelation, a call to greatness. No victory, no treasure, no person or object can compete with the overwhelming sense of security created by the Voice. To know that God is close and personal changes the game. This was the confirmation I had prayed for.

The Voice

I felt connected with myself, connected with God. Then I heard Him speak. I heard it in my heart, in the deep place of my spirit. It wasn’t audible; it was clearer than that. It was peaceful and profound, like the weight of a warm quilt on a cold night.

Entering the Realm of Extraordinary

The deafening voices of the myriad of naysayers are incessant and a poison that is destructive to dreams. In God’s wonderful economy of blessings, he chooses to use the Holy Spirit within us to speak to us about the greatness that is inside of each of us, but also the lives of those we touch. In fact it could be our voice that changes the destiny of another.

Razor's Edge

Life sometimes turns on a razor’s edge, for me it had been a fork in the road. So often at day’s end, we stare at the back of the tapestry of our lives trying to make sense of the meaningless meanderings of the thread. And then one day it happens. Through a messenger or experience, we hear the clear voice of God calling us to take a peek at the other side of the tapestry. And when we do we are undone by the beauty of the story being woven.

Front Row Seat To Awe

Everything familiar has been shut down. The world has literally stopped. And because of that, I have noticed. I have been entertained by ten scissortails wrestling in mid-air with tails flared in what seemed like a pandemonium of joy. I noticed the blood moon that recently rose over Fort Worth decorating the eastern sky during Holy Week. Hosanna was the only human response. It just came out naturally, unrehearsed. Karen and I stood together on a hill that served as our stadium in this most reverent privileged moment.
