The joy of the Lord is your strength. Of course, the enemy of your soul knows that and wants to bog you down with fear, dread, complaining and circumstances that steal you joy. In this Mornings With the Holy Spirit prayer call, we prayed for the joy of the Lord and pushed back those things that come to steal our joy. Click the headline to acces today's call.

Mornings With the Holy Spirit: Recognizing Your Times and Seasons
God's promises are all yes and amen (see 2 Cor. 1:20). So why aren't you seeing those prophetic words come to pass? It could be spiritual warfare, but it could also just as well be that it's not God's timing. So don't give up, and don't get ahead of God. On this Mornings With the Holy Spirit prayer call, we pressed into understanding God's times and seasons. Click the headline to acces the recording.

Mornings With the Holy Spirit: Embracing the Fear of the Lord
The fear of the Lord is not always a popular topic, but it's vital–especially in the hour in which we live. The Bible, and especialy the Proverbs, have plenty to say about the fear of the Lord and the benefits of embracing it. In this Mornings With the Holy Spirit call, we asked for the spirit of the fear of the Lord, and also prayed for a greater revelation of who we are in Christ.

Mornings With the Holy Spirit: Fire of God and Spiritual Warfare Prayers
Feel like you are getting hit from all sides? Pressure increasing? Is it God or the devil or both? We need to submit oursleves to God, resist the devil and he will flee (see James 4:7). That means yielding to the fire of God to rid your soul of impurities and committing to being changed from glory to glory but pushing back the darkness that would try to oppress you. In this Mornings With the Holy Sprit prayer call, we did both. Click the headline to listen to the recording.

4 Prophetic Words to Inspire Peace During Difficult Times
Developing a relationship with the Holy Spirit is crucial if you want to discover and fulfill God's will for your life—and walk in your destiny. Some long to fellowship with the Spirit of God and hear His still, small voice but don't know how or don't believe they can.
In my book, Mornings With the Holy Spirit: Listening Daily to the Still, Small Voice of God, I have shared with the world prophetic words the Holy Spirit has spoken to my heart over the years during times of prayer, worship and just everyday living. These words inspired faith in my heart about many topics, including dealing with people, receiving from God and acting on wisdom.
I believe the following four utterances, along with Scriptural references and prayer starters, will stir faith in your heart and give you some wisdom for the daily battle. I hope they encourage you as much as they did me. If you need more encouragement, join my Mornings With the Holy Spirit Prayer calls Monday through Friday at 6 AM EST.
The Jezebel Spirit, ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ and Immorality in the Church
Lee Grady is right. Fifty Shades of Grey—erotic mommy porn that is making its way from the printed page to the big screen this Valentine's Day—is perverted.
“The book was accurately dubbed 'mommy porn' because it is sexually graphic and full of crude language, and also because Christian expects his girlfriends to totally submit to his sexual tastes—which involve whips, chains, handcuffs and gray neckties,” Grady writes. “This is not just mainstream porn. This is mainstream bondage porn.”
Grady is spot on with his three-pronged assessment. Fifty Shades of Grey encourages sexual deviance, glorifies violence against women and totally perverts the meaning of love. The movie release is somewhat ironic, given Hollywood's focus on—and profitability—producing faith-based films like Noah, God's Not Dead and Heaven is For Real in recent years.
Mornings With the Holy Spirit: Shaking Off Disappointment
I often jokingly refer to myself as a recovering perfectionist. If you are anything like me, you have making mistakes, missing the mark, or otherwise dropping the ball. If you are anything like me, you are too hard on yourself when you do. In today's Mornings With the Holy Spirit prayer calls, we prayed against all those negative whispers from the enemy and misconceptions in our souls. We shook off the disappointment!

LISTEN: Why Atheists Are So Angry When We Pray and Appeal to Heaven
I have often wondered why atheists get so mad when we pray to a God they don't believe exists. Could it be possible that they are concerned God really will hear and answer our prayers. Gov. Bobby Jindal was verbally crucified for holding a prayer rally called The Repsonse in Baton Rouge recently. I was there and I can tell you I've never seen more unity and diversity. It was awesome, even if the protesters didn't undertsand. Click the headline to listen to this week's radio broadcast with me and Pastor Greg Young in which we discuss these and other issues.

Mornings With the Holy Spirit: Praying for Justice
Many of us have been maligned, robbed from, cheated, lied about, persecuted or otherwise treated unjustly. We must remember we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. We must also remember the parable of the widow and the unjust judge in Luke 18. In this Mornings With the Holy Spirit prayer call, we cried out for justice! Click the headline to listen to this powerful call!

Prophetic Word Sparks Purity and Power Revival in Virginia
While writing The Next God: An Appeal to Heaven for Spiritual Awakening, I traveled to many cities to witness pockets of revival breaking out.
What the Holy Spirit showed me is there are many expressions of revival. Of course, they are all marked by a fervent hunger for the presence of God. One expression of revival is manifesting in Bristol, Virginia.
What started as a three-hour service with Ryan LeStrange and Jeremiah Johnson has turned into a genuine outpouring at Impact International Church there.
