Remembering the Lord
Remember the Lord. That’s what I was wakened from this morning. That doesn’t mean ‘oh yeah the Lord’ it means to remember ‘how’ and ‘who’ He is, has been, and need Him to be by faith, by saying it out your mouth so your own ears can hear it, and your heart believe. This is the simple Gospel… to confess with your mouth and believe in your...

The Sustaining Power
How many of us have recieved gifts at Christmas time or birthdays and have ripped the paper to pieces to get what’s inside the box? When I was a kid, I rarely looked at the cards or notes attached to my gifts. Now that I’m older, I understand most things given are given with wishes or for a specific purpose and thoughtfulness. In Luke 9:1-3 we have this very picture. The Lord...

Dream of Strategic Intercession
Not long ago during a time of prayer and fasting I awoke with Europe and Russia heavily upon my heart and mind. I believe the Holy Spirit impressed upon me to pray for a move of God in Europe. I heard “It will begin in Eastern Europe and sweep into Russia.” I was then led to make that my declaration as if it is happening now. Not many days later, still on my fast I this dream. I...

Synchronize
Its inevitable, as we humans recognize that our lives are out of control, unorganized, imbalanced, and ignorant we strive to bring wholeness to our lives by re-inventing and building upon the same ideas, the same principles which we have forsaken in our previous efforts. This is not a slam on Apple, I think they make great and useful ‘tools’, yet I think the emergent Apple technology’s...

Rise Up and Walk
The man who helped Jesus carry His cross. I wonder the conversation that might have taken place that we are unaware of; or even if there was a conversation of words at all, but instead just a glimpse of His beaten eyes and countenance— that we “just know” the direction to go and walk— in the direction that the mocking pushes us, the direction the beatings make us stumble...

Motivations in Prayer
I recently read about a national prayer gathering and it really made me think about our motivations in pray. Why do we pray? Why do we go to God in prayer? Are we moved by fear or by faith to pray?Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of...

Dream of Warning
Some time ago, I awoke from a dream the Lord had given me, in regard to someone that I had recently began working with and it was quiet disturbing. The dream went something like this.There were three things noticeable: The person that was wearing black and he wanted something I had knowledge-wise The setting background that was like a theater stage with black curtain Myself dressed normally. ...

The Question
I used to draw. I used to write. I used to play music. I used to smile. I used to understand. I used to be happy, but now I’m human.The answers aren’t as important to me as the question. I always question the question. So many of you read my various writings on God, or the supernatural and think that Brandon is some sort of super christian or holier than thou and I can see that I am...

The 'Being' of 'In Christ', and my thoughts on it.
Wherever you set your foot… whatever you set your hand to, whatsoever you ask… the fact you’re in an invisible spiritual kingdom that can be appropriated now in the physical by and through faith means you (I, us Christians) have the kingdom authority to do those things. We can’t mistep, or fumble, or mis-appropriate.Walk in the Spirit. Speak in the Spirit. See in the...

Work You Enjoy
This is an area that I believe misleads a lot of people. Mixing work with calling is a very delicate subject. On one hand a person is called to do something they wouldn’t normally do. Numerous biblical examples of this. Paul to make tents when his passion was to preach the Gospel. Noah to build an ark and become a zookeeper, when he was a winemaker Joseph to be a slave and leave his family,...
