The Clearing Podcast - Where Eagles Fly

Classroom of the Ages I just passed a milestone yesterday: I completed my second volume of Glory Through Time, the series that traces the movements of God’s power down through the ages. I have a sense of a major task completed, which I’ve been working on for years and years. All that’s left is to […]

Opposition! You would think that Christians would be in favor of Revival. After all, Revival tides are where King Jesus becomes wonderfully present, attracts large numbers of new Christians to Himself, writes His laws on many hearts—in short, He advances His kingdom during these seasons as at no other times. And yet, every Revival tide […]

The Presence of the King 👑 There is one feature of Revivals that makes them worth remembering and studying: During Revivals Jesus becomes present in a way that He is not present at other times. You could almost define a Revival as a season of the manifest Presence of the Lord. In this video I […]

RELIGION? OR KINGDOM? When I was a kid I had a very different idea of what Christianity is than I do now. It went like this: Long ago Jesus started the one true religion. Then He died, rose, and ascended to heaven, leaving us people to manage the religion He had started. This religion is […]

THE FIRST REVIVAL TIDE Looking at the big picture, God has been working with us Christians over the last 500 years, to wean us away from a Power-and-Might lifestyle, and teach us His By-My-Spirit ways. He started opening up this classroom in Scotland aeons ago, by introducing a whole new pattern that I call Revival […]

The Westward Flow of Revival Tides So…here’s what it comes to: You can take the stories of all these Revival tides, you can sew them together, and you can tell them as a continuing narrative. That’s my challenge this year and I hope to have completed it by year’s end. And as you trace this […]

REVIVAL TIDES When you take the writings of the Revival historians and put them all together, you find that Revival movements have been a lot more frequent than most people realize. In reality, Revival movements have formed a kind of tidal pattern down through the centuries. The tide comes in; the tide goes out; then […]

Awakening #10 – The Importance of Revival Historians In this video I want to honor some unsung heroes. Most of you are not aware of these people. But God raised them up in my lifetime to do a certain work, and without their ministry, I could not write with confidence about the mighty deeds of […]

Awakening #9 – The Rebirth of Prophecy The basic theme of my Glory Through Time narrative is that, for the last 600 years, God has been drawing His people back to the life-in-the-Spirit, after 700 years during the Middle Ages, in which the Church opted for a Power-and-Might lifestyle. If that is true, then you […]

 Over the years, God has asked Carla and me to change our focus from “Church” to “Kingdom.” Finally He took us out of Church ministry entirely, so I could tell the narrative of His Kingdom, which has now become a two-volume story, Glory Through Time. This year, I am working on Volume Two, which […]

 Q: What’s worth doing in life? A: Devote yourself to the Kingdom of God. What I have discovered in my research is this: The kingdom of God is a complete, divinely ordained strategy for the transformation of nations. It has a unique pattern taught and lived by Jesus. This king behaves differently than all […]

Awakening #7 – Where will Revival Happen? If there is going to be a major move of the Holy Spirit in the near future, where will it happen? In this teaching I answer that question with another intriguing question: Why did the American Great Awakening happen only in the Northern colonies and not in the […]

Power Sources – Awakening #6 Our country is unique, in that the founders of the United States of America had experienced the power of God in the Old Country, and they were familiar with how God works through the Holy Spirit.  They may not have possessed all the gifts of the Spirit that many do […]

The First Modern Awakening – Awakening #5 Just now, I am writing about the first modern Great Awakening, one that most of us have forgotten all about. It happened in Scotland during the latter part of the sixteenth century, and, through three waves of Revival, ended up transforming all of Scotland as a nation. This […]

Religion? Or Kingdom? – Awakening Series #4 The Bible doesn’t lie. It presents a vision so radical, so superhuman, so straightforward, that it is hard to accept full strength. It’s implications are earthshaking, if we have the courage to listen to this vision, surrender to it, and live by it. It will turn us into […]

The Power of Forgetfulness – Awakening #3 In this teaching, I tell the story of why I believe God asked me to be a storyteller for Him. It has to be distressing to Him that we humans, including Christians, have a propensity to forget His mighty deeds of the past, even though we have lavished […]

Researching the Presence – Awakening Series #2 Introducing my ministry: researching God’s presence, “times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord.” through the last 2000 years. What can we learn from looking into these seasons of presence and power, even though they have been consistently forgotten by most Christians. In this second video in […]

 When the Last Apostle Died – Awakening Series #1 Up to now I’ve used my newsletter to send out stories of God’s power as I have researched them out of centuries past. You can still hear these stories, my Glory Through Time teaching on my YouTube channel, my podcasting through iTunes or on my […]

Vision Seven Most people think that the Book of Revelation prophesies the end of the world. In reality, it prophesies “a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness dwells” (2 Pet. 3:10). The Kingdom of God is “the renewal of all things,” when Yeshua will bring the whole earth in harmony with heaven. Yeshua […]

Jerusalem! When Jesus said to Pilate, “My Kingdom is not of this world,” He didn’t mean that it was “in heaven.” He meant that it was not a “power and might kingdom,” like Rome. The prophets had all said that the King would return to the earth to rule from Jerusalem (Zion). These same prophets […]

Transformed Hearts Peter’s second sermon is the most concise presentation of the timeline of the advance of the Kingdom of God on earth (Acts 3:19-21). In the present age we will experience “times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord.” In the next, Jesus comes back “to restore all things.” These are two parts […]

The Second Advent. A look at I Thess. 4:16-18, which pictures five events closely associated with the return of Jesus. 1) A loud command or roar (announcing the Day of the Lord); 2) the voice of the archangel giving the command of judgment against those in rebellion against God; 3) the trumpet (shofar) call of […]
