Let’s look again at what Daniel said…
“His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice. Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation. 32 With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist [...]
“But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever—yes, for ever and ever.’” (Daniel 7:18)
We’ve spoken about what God is doing in the world in these times. As we’ve said, those who truly love the Lord will grow immensely in Him and be a light to others in [...]
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
I hope I haven’t frightened you with all these stories of doom and gloom. I do believe that in the natural realm we will experience these things. However, God [...]

From this experience, I really had to learn to rest and trust in God. I could do nothing – and everything was in His hands. That is always the case in life, but too often I allow myself to think that I am the master of my own life, when in reality, it can all [...]
One final word: you should pray diligently to God for where your tithe should go.
I personally believe that for most everyone it should go to those who are responsible for your growth in the Kingdom. Those pouring into your life spiritually must be supported financially. For most people, that is your local church. [...]
