One morning—years ago in the early days of my ministry—I heard a knock at the front door of my home in Norway. It was during my office hours, but still, it was rare to hear a knock that early. I was shocked to see a couple with their three children standing before me. They clearly…

I was in Chile the day Billy Graham died. Shortly after receiving the news, I felt the glory of God fill my room and I started to weep. It lasted well into the next morning, when the glory filled the breakfast area of our hotel—so much that I had a vision of his homecoming. I…

THE 5 LIES OF RELIGION Christianity does not always look like Jesus. That statement makes me uncomfortable! But I have seen so many people who reject Christianity until they meet Jesus.

4 Ways to Thrive in Supernatural Peace Ribbet, Ribbet, Ribbet…that’s all I heard… all night! I had just arrived in the Philippines, jetlagged and exhausted.

Sometimes God leads you to a mountaintop. It’s beautiful on the peak. Not a cloud in the sky, light breeze, bright blue sky, maybe even a rainbow from the aftermath of a recent storm.
