I provide these passages especially for worship leaders, and other leaders of Christ’s church who want to worship Him in spirit and in truth. And who thus want to plumb the depths of the whole counsel of God on anything having to do with singing and music. May the Holy Spirit open your eyes and ears as you meditate on the following.

This study is designed to help us understand the importance and role of dreams, visions, revelations, etc., in the kingdom of God. I believe God loves to speak and move in a whole variety of ways through a variety of people and giftings and of course through His angels.

Just as Jesus Christ – after staying up all night in prayer – chose His 12 disciples for the express purpose of being with Him as Mark 3:14 states; so He has chosen us to be with Him, to walk with Him, to become like Him; and to serve Him, and thus from day to day – to experience Him in life transforming ways (my emphasis).

".....Wesley speaks twice of an “unusual spirit of prayer” as he lays out his account of what some call “The Layman’s Prayer Revival”. Might this be the year when this “unusual spirit of prayer” is rediscovered in America? I hope you are stirred as I was by what God did in such a short time through ordinary men and women. May He do it again in our day."

When leaders or parents or spouses or teachers or coaches lie as a pattern, the necessary trust that holds relationships and families and organizations and even nations together is blown apart. It was Jesus that said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” And one of the things that has caused this deadly division in our nation is an epidemic of lying.

May we all hate the things God hates which surely includes the practice of lying. Few things destroy the fabric of a nation like lying does. I offer these Scriptures for your meditation and for your sanctification.
