“There are times when I feel like the title ‘father’ is the worst name God could have given Himself. What a stupid idea, when ‘father’ means rejection in my world.” ˜L-----˜

God wants to be a Father to the fatherless, to adopt them in these fatherless days. Many in this generation do not have a good relationship or understanding of a godly earthly father, making it very difficult to understand Daddy God. They go through struggles and confusion because they have no comprehension of God's love. “How could God possibly love me unconditionally, when I’ve never even experienced that kind of love and have no concept of what it means?” They must, like I did, come the revelation of the Spirit of Adoption.

God wants us to arise. The Lord wants to bring a sustainable awakening that is exponential and transcends every denomination and ethnic background. This move of God will bridge the generations. The anointing of the older generation will be poured out exponentially on the younger generation. They have great potential to pave the way for revival. While God is raising them up, satan is doing everything he can to distract them. Nonetheless, many of that generation have come forth and they are now full of zeal, and a passionate desire to do great things for the Lord. God’s purpose will prevail.

Christians from the four corners of the world have converged in Los Angeles this week to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival, led by William “Daddy” Seymour, in a movement called by Christian History magazine, “The most phenomenal event of twentieth-century Christianity.”

Every two years, the Olympic Games capture our attention. More than just athletes competing in sports, the Olympics touches our hearts because we see real people with real lives, many of them having overcome tremendous obstacles to see tragedy turn into triumph.

"Somebody Cares. Call 24 hours a day...A true witness rescues lives. Proverbs 14:25."

Doug Stringer had been speaking at a "Beyond the Call" rally for high school students, where he challenged them to be honest with God and ask for His help in overcoming every obstacle that would keep them from their destinies. "God's not asking for your resources, He's asking for you," Doug told the group of students. Using the illustration of Joshua, Caleb, and the 10 spies, he exhorted them not to be "grasshoppers" in their own eyes.

It is time for believers to take the offensive. We must lead society back to God and the Bible. The apostle Paul showed us how to launch this offensive; he gave us advice that enables us to engage in cultural warfare effectively and victoriously. He wrote: And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them. (Ephesians 5:11 NAS)

If we're honest with ourselves, we must admit that our prayers frequently degenerate into little more than religious incantations and shallow platitudes spoken out of a sense of religious duty. Yet the Bible compares prayer with the travail of childbirth. It is, in essence, a passionate activity. I have found that it is often in times of desperation that I pray with a genuine passion to the Lord of passion that allows no room for mediocrity or compromise.
