God’s Family Plan: Establishing Generational Blessing
God has a family plan for each of us (Psalm 68:5-6), a plan to prosper and not harm us (Jeremiah 29:11). For some, the thought that God would use family, especially their family, as an instrument of blessing may be unthinkable, even troubling. Regardless of the dysfunction, abuse, rejection or abandonment we may associate with our personal family experience, God’s Family Plan offers a strategy for redemption and recovery. Holy Spirit is inviting all of us to establish the foundation of generational blessing according to the biblical principles and perspective of God’s family plan. God's Family Plan: Establishing Generational Blessing is available in paperback on Amazon.com.

Some of our podcast followers may have noticed that we have not posted a new episode in several months. In this episode, I would like to provide an explanation as I share a message of encouragement and hope.
As I woke up this morning, what I heard went something like this, “This is as the Ninth of Av for the Church in America.” For those who may not be familiar with the “Ninth of Av,” Av is a month on the Hebrew Calendar. It usually falls in a July/August time frame on our modern calendar. The Ninth day of Av was a significant decision day in the History of Israel. It has been referred to as “the saddest day on the Jewish...
God’s words are like seeds; when they have been planted, they will grow, mature, and bring forth an abundant harvest. In Isaiah 55:11 in the New King James Translation, God describes the process like this:
“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
Here’s the sam...
On December 8, 2018, I received a vision of a train emerging from darkness with bright lights illuminating the rails before it. As I have meditated on the meaning of this vision, I have come to understand this vision as insight into an Emerging Greater Glory Generation, a revelation of a new, powerful generational alignment that God is forming among those called according to His purpose. This vision contains prophetic...
The title and concept for this session can be found in Chapter Two of a book my wife Kathie and I published in 2019 entitled “God’s Family Plan: Establishing Generational Blessing,” This book is available in the RockAware.co Online Store and on Amazon.
I want to make some quick comments before we get into today’s podcast:
1. In this Session, Scripture readings are usually taken from the Amplified Bible, unless othe...
Today’s podcast is Part Two of “The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing but The Truth.” All of the episodes in this series are focused on answering the question, “What on Earth is Going On???”
We are going to be spending a lot of time in John’s gospel today. In John’s writing, Jesus offers significant insight into the subject of “The Truth.” With that in mind, John 18:37 and 38a will serve as an outline for today’s st...
Today’s episode is entitled “The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth.” With today’s podcast, we begin a series of podcasts that will explore the answer to the question, “What on Earth is Going On?”
For many, the beginning of this decade, the decade of the twenty-twenties, may be characterized by three words: COVID, chaos and confusion. I am not sure that there is anyone on the planet who has not experience...
In this New Year’s season as we begin 2023, it seems like a good time to listen, ponder, consider, and meditate about the year we are entering. Jesus said it’s important to live with discernment and an understanding of the times and seasons of our lives.
During an encounter with the Jewish religious leaders of His day, Jesus rebuked them for not being able to interpret the signs of the times. In the Passion Translation...
Given what’s happening in our nation with the Uvalde shooting, gender confusion, the baby formula shortage and the pending Supreme Court ruling on Roe V Wade…to mention just a few. I believe it would be appropriate at this time for parents, grand parents and Spiritual parents, heads of households, male or female, mother or father, married or single to invoke a covering of prayer, faith decrees and blessings over their...
On the way to church this Sunday, May 15th 2022, I heard a phrase: “I will not be obfuscated.”
At that time, I didn’t know the meaning of the word “obfuscated.” It is not a word that I would normally use in everyday conversation. So, Kathie looked it up online while I continued to drive us to The Gate Church for pre-service prayer.
Holy Spirit knows that I love words. My favorite TV show is wheel of fortune. I even like...
Father God designed His master plan for humanity to be family-centered and multi-generational. According to Deuteronomy 6, God’s system - His commands, decrees, and regulations – are intended to bless you, your children and your grandchildren so that your entire family will enjoy long life and have prosperous years ahead of you.
God’s plan is for each generation to bless the following generations. This truth is express...
As Kathie and I were in a time of Bible reading and prayer, Holy Spirit spoke to me as Kathie was reading the account of the feeding of the 5,000 from Mark Chapter 6:30-44. Matthew, Chapter 14:13-21 and John 6:1-14 also contain accounts of feeding 5,000. Incidentally, there were likely 2-4 times that number of people that were fed in these accounts, because in that culture and time they only counted the men in their h...
The title of today’s podcast is “Remember the Alamo Bowl!” It’s based on a Holy Spirit encounter my wife Kathie had on the morning of December 30th 2021, the morning after the Alamo Bowl was played.
In Kathie’s words, “I woke up seeing a special shoe; it was a pointed toe slider. Sliders are the kind of shoes that you just slip on; they are easy to put on because you just step into the...
Although this was originally posted in the summer of 2020, I have been led to post it again. I believe this podcast is as relevant and urgent today (maybe more so) than it was when it was originally posted.
For quite some time, I have been drawn to the Prophet Daniel’s intercessory prayer for Israel found in Daniel, Chapter 9….verses 1-19. In this passage, we find an example of “How to” pray for a nation gone...
You may have noticed that we haven’t posted a new podcast episode for a while. I have been in the process of writing what I believe will be multiple podcast episodes, but they just aren’t ready to post at this time. However, I can release to you what I heard this morning as I was preparing for breakfast and the day ahead.
First of all, I heard “Stop, Look, Align.” I also heard, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”...
As a frame of reference, I am recording this during the first week of August, 2021. Earlier this week while I was praying in the Spirit I began to hear a prophetic word. Holy Spirit is announcing, “The word of the day is “reconciliation.”
As I have meditated on this word, I have discovered some insights I really must share with you.
I want to begin by dissecting the key concepts of this prophetic word.
The WORD of the d...
I believe Holy Spirit is again speaking to believers through the Hebrew Calendar. Beginning at sundown July 17th …it will be Tisha B’ Av, or the 9th of Av…Av being the fifth month on the Hebrew calendar.
Many of you may have never heard of Tisha B’ Av or the 9th of Av before today. But it is a significant date in both ancient and modern Israel. This is a date on the Hebrew calendar that offers Spiritual insight to you...
Some of you may have been taught that Passover is a Jewish Holiday…An Old Testament event that Christians just don’t celebrate.
Many years ago I learned “The Old is in the New contained and the New is in the Old explained. The New Testament is filled with quotes from the Old Testament and the Old Testament offers a prophetic understanding of the New Testament. For instance, If you want to understand what Jesus did for ...
Today's episode begins with a reading of 1 Chronicles Chapter 12 verses 1 and 32 from the Amplified Bible
Verse one says…
These are the ones who came to David at Ziklag, while he still concealed himself from Saul the son of Kish; they were among the courageous men who helped him in battle.
As we drop down to verse 32, we will find one particular group that joined themselves to David and his troup…
Of the tribe of Is...
After all of the twists, turns and chaos of 2020…You may wonder what on earth is coming next and how do we get ready for it? How do we prepare for 2021?
God can use anything to bring us the revelation and insight we need to prepare for the future. Numbers, Chapter 22: verses 21-32 tell us how God used a talking donkey to warn a man named Balaam and spare his life.
So, it should not come as a big surprise to think th...
