  WHEN CREATIVES CREATE RELEASING HEAVEN THROUGH YOUR CREATIVE EXPRESSION When you think of creating, what comes to mind?  Art is creativity in one of its most loved forms; however, the arts are just one way to be creative. Creativity, in fact, isn’t reserved for only the artists.  All humans create.  And this creativity is a spiritual weapon given to us by God Himself for such a time as this. Our creative expression has the capacity to release Heaven or unleash hell. We’re either altar-builders or idol-makers. We’re either creating space for the Lord or for the enemy.  In this powerful, revelation-packed book, you will: Be activated in your identity, authority, and power as a creative who is made in the image of Creator God and is filled with His Spirit. Learn to recognize and remove idols from your life and replace them with altars of pure worship to the Lord. Discover how your creative expression can dismantle the darkness and release the presence and power o...

In the last post, I described a vision God showed me of the LA Basin being filled with His liquid glory. As my heart was overwhelmed with this beautiful imagery, my spirit heard the Father’s admonishment: “Don’t let any flies in the bowl.”   As recorded in Matthew 12:24, the Pharisees (who represent a spirit of religion) accuse Jesus of getting His power from Beelzebul. Some translations describe this Beelzebul as “Satan, the prince of demons.” The name “Beelzebul,” however, literally means “lord of flies” or “fly-god.” It comes from the Hebrew for Baal, which is the false god—and idol—that plagued the Israelites for centuries throughout the Old Testament. Let’s have a look… THE IDOL The first mention of God’s people being yoked to Baal is found in Numbers 25. Moses has lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and now they are en route to the Promise Land. They should have been there by now except that their disobedience has sent them on a 40-year detour. During this time of w...

Recently as I was in prayer, the Lord showed me a faceless figure wearing a high priest’s attire, but it wasn’t the High Priest. I immediately knew it was a representation of the demonic pharisee (religious) spirit.  This figure was holding a conductor’s baton and was using it to orchestrate or direct the plans of the enemy — plans of chaos and confusion that bring division and disunity, among other things.  It was almost as if I could see sabotage shooting out from the baton. It caused some to be spiritually blind. Others to be spiritually deaf. And others to turn on each other because they were surrounded by a swirl of lies.  But the baton was thin, weak, and fragile. I began to take authority over the pharisee spirit. I broke it’s power, releasing the Lord’s mercy and declaring His blood speaks a better word. As I did, the baton snapped. So easily and so quickly! No longer could the enemy conduct his plans. No longer could he sabotage the people of God by orchestra...

God is dismantling and displacing regional strongholds (including witchcraft/Jezebel, idolatry/Baal, and religion/Pharisee) by tearing down idols that have been established by counterfeit covenants.  A few months ago, on May 9, 2023, I was praying for revival in my city, Wilmington, California. As I shared in a previous post , I felt like the Lord gave me two phrases from Scripture to declare over my region: “Mercy triumphs over judgment” (James 2:13) and ”His blood speaks a better word" (Hebrews 12:24).  I asked the Lord, “Why those two verses?” He took me to Acts 9, which is the story of Saul, the Pharisee — a man who is out doing his own thing, thinking it’s the right thing, and making a mess of things. A man who is the epitome of how the demonic works.  Saul, with letters of authorization over cities, is literally shedding the blood of innocent people in the name of his cause. He is a man who is deeply lost and spiritually blind… just like so many in my city… just...
