The Clearing Podcast - Where Eagles Fly

A PERSONAL REQUEST This newsletter is a significant update on the amazing adventure God has for me as His storyteller. And it includes a request–a favor I want to ask of you. I am at a significant turning point in my own destiny with God as a writer. God has showed up for me in […]

CONVERGENCE Every fresh Revival tide in history has reintroduced some forgotten insight of God’s word, some fresh aspect of the “manifold wisdom” of God that has been forgotten or ignored by Christians. This approaching Revival tide is no exception.  So: what’s the unique emphasis that God is stressing for us to re-learn just now? The […]

AN INVITATION What do people mean when they speak of “the power of God? “ Have you ever walked through a season when the power of God was on display? I believe we are going to have more and more displays of God’s power in the next few years. Let’s get ready! That’s why I’m […]

How Slaves Were Freed This is my final video using the Second Great Awakening in England to demonstrate how prayer can lead to Revival which leads to Jesus distributing destinies which leads to the transformation of a whole society, which can lead to world transformation. Here I conclude the story of how England managed to […]

I’m interrupting my series about John Newton to give you some news about myself, a new book project that I am currently writing and my new relationship with George Otis, Jr. Always an adventure! —Doug

John Newton 3 This video continues my series tracing the track record of Holy Spirit movements as relates to the abolition of slavery. It presents the unsung hidden role of John Newton in abolishing slavery in England, through his mentoring relationship with William Wilberforce. There are many, many lessons we can gain about transformational Revival […]

In this continuing story of John Newton, I want to show you the contrast between “the Christian religion” and The Kingdom of God. Two different things. I show how God transitioned England out of a religion and into His transformational kingdom —and destined a few leaders to destroy a work of the devil (the slave […]

John Newton, the man who wrote “Amazing Grace,” led a most extraordinary life. Few people realize the key role he played in the abolition of slavery. This video offers the first half of his story in which I show that if any of us is to become a world changer, it is not because of […]

Jesus the Emancipator V This video, the fifth in a series, uncovers the part King Jesus has played in eradicating the institution of slavery in world history. Is it a mere coincidence that the two countries that fully and permanently abolished slavery were the same two countries that were enjoying a Revival tide leading to […]

In this video I compare the long and pathetic history of atheistic revolutions with the transformational track record of the Kingdom of God. Both of these options offer hope for the transformation of nations Both promise to become an avenue of freedom and Justice. But only one of these options has a positive track record […]

Jesus the Emancipator III In my writing, I try to present our Christian history as a readable story. But it is more than a story. It is fact. Stuff God did. History confirmed by historians. In this “Jesus the Emancipator” series, I convey the seldom-told history that shows Jesus Himself as the one responsible for […]

My mentor, back in 1983, explained how the Second Great Awakening produced the emancipation of slaves during the nineteenth century. Yet very few writers today seem aware of that, so I have devoted a good deal of Glory Through Time detailing how this happened. My goal is to show Jesus Himself at the center of […]

Jesus the Emancipator – 1 We fight demonic deception by telling the truth. One of the great deceptions of our time is this: “Christianity is the religion of slavery.” This lie comes from the tragedy of Christians buying and selling slaves in this country. However, at that time, the buying and selling of slaves was […]

The Power to Transform American Christianity has chosen to focus on two of the promises Jesus gave us: 1. Eternal salvation 2. Miracles and deliverance for individuals by the Holy Spirit But the Bible speaks of a third kind of promise: The transformation of nations. It is for this purpose that Jesus is coming back […]

IT’S BIGGER THAN YOU THINK Most of us know that Jesus came to save us for eternal life in heaven, so that we might live and not die. And that is the starting point for most of us in our understanding of the Gospel. And yet there is so much more to it, that you […]

WHAT ABOUT CESSATIONISM? During my research for Glory Through Time, Vol. Two, I ran into something that really surprised, even shocked me, because it was so unexpected. I discovered a powerful outpouring of a spirit of prophecy during the Scottish Reformation. I describe this in Volume Two, Chapters 1-10. I had been taught that the […]

Once again, I am inviting you not only to read my books, the Glory Through Time books; but I am inviting you to sign up for my class this fall, which begins next week on Monday the 11th, and ends the first week of December. My hope is that you will be intrigued about the […]

Greetings, Today I am announcing my entry into the world of Zooming professors. Beginning Sept. 11, 2023 I will become a professor in a new school just three years old, the River City School in Richmond, Virginia, an institute that encourages and trains Spirit-filled leaders. The founder of this school, Pastor Steve Stells is an […]

First Nations This month I am sharing with you, my friends around the world, how I became involved in praying for the First Nations of America across the continent. Many people (like Mike Bickle of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City) were called to pray toward the next Great Awakening beginning in 1983. […]

WHAT ARE REVIVALS GOOD FOR? In this video, I describe the value of transformational Revivals, a piece of our history that has been terribly neglected by most historians–and as a result, most Christians are unaware of the importance of the great outpourings of the Holy Spirit. And as a result most Christians have not prayed […]

The Sovereignty of God, Part II This video reinforces the theme of last month–that true Revival is an act of God bringing the Presence of the King to bear on the transformation of nations. It is not a church program, as the word “revival” is often used today. Let me announce, finally, the completion of […]

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD Exactly 40 years and eight days ago, my wife and I were called to begin praying daily toward the next Great Awakening. At the end of the forty years, we had a sense of “well done” from God. A week later, Revival broke out at Asbury University, and began spreading out […]

The Matrix (The Matrix) It was a mystery to me at first. As I researched the history of God’s mighty deeds, I found story after story from eyewitnesses and Revival historians going back centuries. And yet practically every one of these stories has been forgotten by the Christians of today. Hundreds of stories tossed casually […]

When Revival Doesn’t Happen We in the United States have a unique history. We live in the only country in the world that has enjoyed a steady stream of Revival tides from God during its entire history. The first of these was known as The Great Awakening because it was an outpouring of the Holy […]

PROPHETS OF OLD A major theme of my next book is that the kingdom of God advances by moves of the Spirit of God, not by worldly power. Most of us look back at the Protestant Reformation as a transition from “Catholic” doctrines and church government to “Protestant” doctrines and church government. But in my […]
