My good friend and brother, Pastor Bill Morgan, tells a great story of learning to hear from God. As he was seeking God about expanding into several new areas, he heard the Lord tell him to stay in his lane. If he tried to do things outside of his calling and giftings it would not go well.
Later he was driving on a major highway and sharing that story with a friend when he came upon a construction zone. Just as he finished his story, a large traffic sign said: “Stay in your own lane.” It was a timely confirmation.
Pastor Bill’s story has stuck with me. At this time in my own life and ministry there are many different opportunities in front of me. The Lord has reminded me to stay in my own lane.
Elisha Vision Ministries was birthed out of our love for Israel and our specific calling to impart that love to others. It was based on Elisha’s prayer for his servant when surrounded by the Syrian army. The servant only saw the Syrians, but Elisha saw heaven’s armies and prayed that his servant’s eyes be opened to see in the Spirit.
So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “Yehovah, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then Yehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:16-17
Doreen and I have a certain lane to proclaim the opening of the eyes of God’s servants, especially to His eternal covenant with Israel. Please pray for us to fulfill our calling and to stay in our own lane.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Here is a link to my message on the Last Generation, a teaching on Psalm 102, The Holocaust Psalm. I start around the 55 min. mark.
Preaching at Home This Week!
12 11 2021After a wonderful time in Idaho speaking four times, it is good to be home. This Sunday at 11am it is my honor to speak at Wake Forest Grace Assembly of God. Last Sunday I spoke at Cocolalla Cowboy Church on the subject of the Abraham Accords and Elisha the prophet of God. We need to see with the eyes of the Holy Spirit and not succumb to fear. If God is for us, who can be against us?
I will share a modified version of the same message this week. If you are in the Raleigh area, I invite you to join us. Doreen and I have been blessed to be part of the fellowship at Grace Assembly of God when not traveling or ministering in other local churches. The Lord Jesus has been especially moving in life, healing, salvation, and encouragement there this summer and fall. Pastor John and Sherry Thrift radiate the light of God’s glory. This is God’s end time purpose for every believer.
This is the literal promise to Israel, but we who have been grafted in through the blood of Jesus share in the promises. Hallelujah!
I am also excited to announce that Michael Masambu of Kenya will be in the area from Nov. 27-Dec. 6 and will speak, Lord willing, at New Path Church in Raleigh and Grace Assembly in Wake Forest, as well as smaller groups through the week. Please be in prayer for the moving of the Holy Spirit in all of these gatherings. Thank you.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for rain as Israel enters the rainy season.

Why do I use God’s literal covenant Name: Yehovah? Here is a link to the explanation in my book: The Hebrew God Who Has No Name. And here is a link to a great visual from my friend Keith Johnson.
