During prayer today, I asked the Holy Spirit to pray through me. I wasn't approaching prayer simply with a list of things I wanted to say; I wanted Him to give language to what needed to be prayed. As I yielded to Him, El Gibbor came up—Mighty God—and from there my prayer became centered on the strength of God. I found myself praying specifically for God to strengthen the hearts of the weary people I was interceding for. Then the prayer became personal. I asked Him to give me

The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. Isaiah 11:2 NASB There are moments in my prayer life when a question turns into a study, the study turns into revelation, and the revelation completely changes how I approach God. That is exactly what happened when I began studying the seven Spirits of God described in Isaiah 11:2. What started as curiosity beca

Second Corinthians 10:4-6 reminds believers that the weapons of our warfare are not physical but spiritual. They are mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations, bringing every thought into obedience to Christ, and positioning us to execute obedience as we mature in our walk with Him. Spiritual warfare is not fought by human strength, personality, intellect, or emotion. Victory comes by learning how to wield the weapons God has placed in

Ten years ago, I received a prophetic word that revealed pieces of my spiritual identity before I even had an understanding of what that actually was. Among the things spoken over my life was that I would carry a Deborah mantle and a double portion of the Spirit of Counsel. At the time, I could appreciate the words, but I did not fully understand the weight of what they meant. Like many things God speaks, understanding often arrives in seasons rather than moments. Looking bac

Throughout Scripture, dreams are presented as a legitimate means through which God communicates with His people. They are not the only way He speaks, nor should they ever replace His written Word, but they are consistently recognized as one of Heaven's methods of revealing divine instruction, warning of danger, confirming covenant promises, unveiling future events, and providing wisdom for the path ahead. Numbers 12:6 establishes this foundation when God declares that He make

There are seasons in our walk with God when our prayers change. We begin by praying for breakthrough, then for strategy, then for endurance. Recently, I reached a place in my own journey where I found myself with very little fight left concerning this prolonged season of waiting. Instead of asking God to change my circumstances, I simply asked Him for the strength to endure them. It was an honest prayer. After I finished covering the thing I’m assigned to in intercession, I e

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless. Genesis 17:1 NIV There are moments in our walk with God when the circumstances surrounding us become so overwhelming that our prayers are no longer polished. They become cries. Seasons of waiting can test every ounce of faith we possess, especially when multiple situations seem to converge at once, all demanding answers we do not have and so

The Warfare Behind the Pen “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” Proverbs 16:9 NLT One of the greatest confirmations that I am writing what Heaven intends for the earth did not come from book sales, awards, or reviews. It came years later when the Holy Spirit began directing my intercessory team—what would eventually become my royal court—back to my own fiction series, The Chronicles of Warfare. During seasons of intense spiritual assignments involving p

There are moments in prayer when a simple phrase becomes more than words. It becomes a memorial. It becomes a weapon. Recently, during worship, I found myself declaring, "Hallelujah Jesus," and the weight of those two words immediately brought weight to the tears I was already shedding. Something about those words shifted the atmosphere. It was remembrance. It was Heaven reminding me of where this phrase first entered my life and the breakthrough it carried with it. Over the

Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle. Psalm 24:8 NASB I was faithfully nourishing my spirit, but earlier this month as I read Psalm 34 the best way I can describe the feeling is being full or having eaten the same thing so much you no longer want it. Not to be dismissive of God’s word at all, it was just, for this season, I had gotten all the nutrients out of that psalm. It was actually different from any way before the Holy Spirit h

And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Revelation 19:10 NKJV Over the past several months, one subject has consistently resurfaced in my prayer life: the ministry of angels. Recently, I released a strategic prayer designed to help believers understand how to biblically enlist angeli

Over the past several days, something beautiful has been unfolding during my time with the Lord. It wasn't planned, nor was I seeking a particular revelation. I simply made a conscious decision to shift how I spent time in His presence. Instead of focusing on the things that required in my intercession, I intentionally lingered in worship and invited the Holy Spirit to pray through me. That single adjustment changed everything. The first phrase that continually flowed from my

This morning, I woke up with the refrain, "Worthy You will be forever," from the song Forever-YHWH playing in my spirit. Because of the shift that has taken place in my prayer and worship time this week, the phrase immediately captured my attention. After spending intentional time beginning with praise, transitioning into worship, and asking the Holy Spirit to pray through me, my language before the Lord has been changing. Earlier this week, I found myself repeatedly declarin

Over the last few days, the Holy Spirit has been leading me into a different rhythm during my worship time. Instead of rushing into prayer, I have intentionally begun with praise, transitioned into worship, and then invited the Holy Spirit to pray through me. I did the same thing again today. I asked the Holy Spirit to take over my prayer time and to pray through me. It has become one of the most beautiful experiences because the words that flow are not planned or rehearsed,

Encounters in Prayer "If you've ever read my books, you know I write for Heaven." That has become more than a statement to me—it is the assignment that has shaped every page I have written. A Kingdom Scribe is not simply an author who writes about biblical topics. A Kingdom Scribe serves as a steward of revelation, recording what the Holy Spirit desires to release into the earth at the appointed time. Our responsibility is not to chase trends or produce what is popular. Our r

Encounters in Prayer Series Today, I shifted how I spend time with God. In a conversation with my watchman, I realized I needed to intentionally spend time in worship and invite the Holy Spirit to pray through me. I began with praise and gradually transitioned into worship. During the refrain of Speak Lord from God Is Here by Martha Munizzi, I found myself on my knees before the Lord. When I rose, a simple phrase began to flow from my spirit: "I bless You." It wasn't somethin

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 NKJV Recently, I had an encounter with God where He told a group of us, He was going to make a contract with us. Each of us that received a contract, it was someth

Fruit in the Valley “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” Proverbs 16:9 NLT One of the greatest misconceptions about being a Kingdom Scribe is that inspiration always arrives in peaceful seasons. The reality is often the exact opposite. Many of the assignments God entrusts to His scribes are birthed in the middle of warfare, grief, disappointment, exhaustion, and overwhelming life circumstances. While everyone else sees the finished book, the completed c

Why I Can't Tell You When the Next Conference Will Be “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” Proverbs 16:9 NLT “When are you going to do another conference?” It is one of the questions I am asked most often. In fact, recently two different people asked me the exact same question within about an hour of each other. My answer is always the same: I honestly don't know. That response surprises people because they assume the next conference is simply a matter

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 KJV The Waiting Series: Part 1 One of the greatest obstacles believers face is not always spiritual warfare. Sometimes it is something far more difficult to navigate because there is nothing to fight. There are seasons in life when we encounter resistance and immediately assume we need a new s
