The Ascent of a Demon Storm

26/01/21 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

January 26, 2026

We are near the end of days. There is an ascent of apostasy, a rise of rebellion. Forces of evil will march against the faith of the ages. There is seduction involved for we must deal with seducing spirits of the last days. There are satanic sympathies involved, because man cannot help himself when he wants to fight for what belongs to him, and in a wicked fashion what belongs to others.

But while evil is mounting, the church is on the rise as well. Revival fires burn. Deliverance messages release power. Anointing crushes oppositional forces of temptation and shame. Hope climbs on the shoulders of faith. And conquest doesn’t belong to the enemy for long, as God arises and scatters the enemy. Listen now…

The Bread that Satisfies Part 2 | Live Recording

January 18, 2026

We serve a gourmet God. But many settle for fast food religion. And we end up with leftovers of disappointment. But God’s word is bread that satisfies. When you are thirsty don’t drink from the ponds of deficient philosophies. When you are hungry, don’t labor for that which only feeds the lust of the flesh; your spiritual man will starve. But partake of the bread that satisfies your soul and ratifies your faith and amplifies your voice in praise to God! Listen now…

The Bread that Satisfies | Live Recording

January 11, 2026

Some people settle for the leftovers of the world. They settle for the stale remains of pride. They settle for the moldy loaves of human opinion. They feast on things that won’t strengthen the heart or help the inner man, and they end up worse off than before. Comparisons with others weaken them. Distractions of the heart keeps them from living the life God intended for them to live. They stumble around like beggars, feeding from trash bin to trash bin, hoping to get something decent on occasion. But sin and anger and bitterness only give you contaminated bread. You need the Word of God. The Word of God is the bread that never fails and always feeds the soul. Listen now…

The Unfailing Word Part 2

25/12/31 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

January 4, 2026

You have to understand that you have to bring forth before you see the bud; don’t get the sequence out of order…don’t look for the success without the seed; spend time in the Word; stay in prayer; build those daily altars. When you fall in love with God you seek more than results, you want to spend time with Him, and what buds out of that is more lasting and eternal in value.

We often talk about people doing what they please; which means there is a sense of selfishness; but when it comes to God, we want Him to do what he pleases because it’s always for our best; there is no better route to redemption; there is no better way to live your life; there is no better way to learn and be blessed by what you learn. And there is no better way to see yourself and others… The blessing exchange. Instead of…powerful words. Instead of the thorn shall come up the myrtle tree…sometimes there is so much bad that has taken place in your life, all you expect is bad the next time. But instead of the bad comes the good; instead of the nightmare comes the fulfillment of a dream. Listen now…

The Unfailing Word Part 1

December 28, 2025

His ways are higher. We are trapped in mazes of fear. Hedges of anxiety surround us and we wonder where we might find the exit. Walls of shame. Blockades of bitterness.

There is certainty about His ascendant knowledge. He knows the whys of what is happening to us.

There is salvation in his knowledge. He knows the way of escape.

God wants you to flourish not fail; he wants you to thrive not just barely survive; you don’t have to walk around crippled by futility and staggering under the influence of past shame; God wants you to expand not live caged in the same ole every day experiences of pain and procrastination; boom in success, not destruction; break forth in achievement rather than being bummed out by another decline in results.

The shepherds were in a field near the birthplace. Angels told them where to find the baby. Baby Jesus was in a stable, wrapped in swaddling clothes and laying in the manger. It was just as they were told. How often do we hear something and then it doesn’t live up to expectations? Or, it isn’t anything near what you thought you would see. But when God tells you something, it’s as simple as He said it and it’s as exactly as He said it…listen now.

Movement and Stillness

25/12/11 at 6.56pm / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

December 14, 2025

Sometimes we feel hurried. We are tempted to rush in. But speed is not always the prescription for prosperity and breakthrough. We cannot just be a movement; we must also be a stillness. We need to let God develop certain things for us in the mysteries of stillness, when nothing can be benefited by rushing in to do something prematurely. Exodus 40 reveals this when Moses was unable to enter the tabernacle because the glory cloud hovered on the tent of meeting, and His glory filled the tabernacle. And as long as the cloud was over the tabernacle Israel did not move. Their journeys were based on the moving or the stillness of God’s Presence. Listen now…

Spy Games in the Halls of Darkness

25/12/03 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

December 7, 2025

Tricks with the truth. Slight variations of Biblical facts. Subtle distortions of Biblical principles. These days everyone has a new religious thought. Cultic ideas abound. False doctrines proliferate like nuclear warheads. Access to larger audiences by way of social media gives the Gospel both its greatest avenue of End Time exposure, but also its greatest threat of misinformation and twisted doctrines. People are trading dependency on men and women of God who preach the Word for internet scholarship that can be achieved by a few search engines. But knowledge does not dismiss submission to Apostolic authority and God-called Shepherds.

Spies, Lies, and Algorithms, Why US Intelligence Agencies Must Adapt or Fail by Amy Zegart and Michael Morell says, “Cheap and easy access to new technologies has taken away some of the intelligence-gathering advantages that the US had over its adversaries. The proliferation of open-source intelligence, ranging from Google Maps to Twitter, as well as data gathered on private cell phones or with commercial surveillance cameras, enables foreign governments and non-state actors to be better-informed than they have ever been.”

So, basically, spies have easier access than ever before; deception has many more doors to walk through. Deception dice is rolling. Gambling devils are risking it all for one last empire of evil. How many open-source opportunities does the enemy have to your soul? Internet windows. Social networks. Video games. Cultural shaping Hollywood programming. Educational books that ever so slightly change the way you feel about certain passages of the Bible. The fires of conviction are dying out. The passion of making a stand for what is right is now a casual, comfortable seating with new suggestions.

Spies of darkness have always been around. Even Jesus had to deal with pretentious curious Pharisees who covertly tried to catch him in his words. Mark 12:13. Listen now…

When God Looks at Himself in the Mirror

25/11/27 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

November 30, 2025

Brightness is the Greek word, apaugasma, which means radiance, effulgence, or reflection. The quality of sending out rays of light. Jesus came as the light into the world; not a separate light from another face, or from another person, or from a demigod figure on a different throne; he came as the one true light of the character of God.
You must understand that Jesus is not a resemblance of the Father, he is a reflection of the father. If God could look in a mirror and see Himself the image would be the man Christ Jesus. Think about that; God is not looking through a lens of eternity upon a separate image that has his appearance or likeness; He is not glancing upon an imitating substance derived from his omnipotent nature; He is not looking at a stump carved out His everlasting glory, planted in our human world and witnessing a distinctive growth or plant or god-form. God didn’t Xerox himself and send that into world. He created a human house and came himself to dwell in it. Jesus was not a close version of God; He was not an imitation; he was the incarnation. Jesus didn’t stop by the fueling station of the heavens and get a filling of the Divine nature; he was the fuel, the gas station, the everlasting power of God.
Remember, He is the brightness of his glory. Think, rays of sunshine; a beam from a flashlight; an illumination from a torch; you can’t separate the one from the other and they both distinctly exist. Also, glory is significant as the God said he would not give his glory to another. Isaiah 42:8
This is why the Trinity doctrine corrupts the image of God. It diminishes the authority of one and makes it reliant upon three different forms, or on unanimous counsel to get something done. Listen now…

An Ocean of Anointing

November 23, 2025

What is the difference between a reservoir and a river? One is man-made. The other is God-made. A reservoir is measured in feet and depth. Man determines the volume of water. But a river is determined by rain levels and banks and flow. Spiritual things from God are immeasurable. You can’t control its current, you just have to move with it. Spiritual movements are powerful as long as we don’t put up humanistic barricades and try to control it. And in the world of the Spirit, God has given us depths of anointing. We don’t have to settle for little ponds of religion. We need to use powers of truth at our altars to touch a hurting and hopeless world. Go deeper. Pray a little more. See the impossible become a fulfillment. Listen now…

Stop Doing the Shame Thing | Message Three

25/11/13 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

November 16, 2025

These two walkers (of Emmaus) recognized what had been lost. They lived in this moment looking over their shoulders. No dawn. Only darkness. No light at the end of the tunnel. Only shadows and shame. They were bound in chains of “what should have been.” They lived with “can’t get there now” hopelessness. They were sad. That’s what the disguised Messiah witnessed. Notice, that sadness made them a bit irritable and incredulous. How could this stranger not know the news? Hope of Israel had been stripped down to nothing. Their replay of the events struck the chords of pain. Melodies of misery. Low tones of despair. Somber lyrics of disappointment. Death notes of short-lived dreams.

We wanted more and got less than expected. Isn’t that the scenario of this kind of shame. Shame left with the wrong feelings. They were sad. They were cynical, “art thou only a stranger in Israel…” Their trust was weakened, “we had trusted that it should have been he who should have redeemed Israel…” Jesus would tell them at one point they were “slow of heart”. This means their feelings got in the way of revelation. God had been wanting to show them something different about what happened, but they were blinded by their grief, too busy focusing on the pain to see the Promise.

The burning fire is a revelation of Him. It’s the flame of truth trying to melt the ice cold regions of the soul. It’s the lantern of eternity simmering held up in the darkest places of memory. A fire that brings the radiance of hope. A fire that impassions the believers. A fire that turns the shy and ashamed into the bold and courageous. A fire that consumes the wrong kinds of feelings; it burns up self-blame and incinerates imaginations that keep you in chains; it burns up bitterness and cremates the dead dreams that rotten your inner core. In the miracle the fire burned. In fact it was always there it just needed an awakening. When the fire burns you see things differently. When the fire burns you say things differently; your vocabulary changes; you are no longer bound to the pessimist dictionary of negative words; you speak in faith and silence fear. Listen now…

Stop Doing the Shame Thing | Message Two

25/11/05 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

November 9, 2025

Jeremiah 15:8-9 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.

She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

The shame of this passage is tied to disappointment. Jerusalem thought she was secure. Towering walls. Strong gates. The ark of the covenant. A history of military miracles. An Egyptian trained army. But when it was all said and done, God was done with her idolatry, and she was left confounded and ashamed; disappointed that all the things she thought was working for her collapsed. Her day of self-confidence was shortened. Her strong men beaten into humiliating submission. And thousands of years later this verse still rings true. People bear the weight of overconfidence until the smoke from their burning dreams ascends; many in our day and in our church are disappointed things didn’t work out the way they were supposed to work out; they came to a doubt-dead-end; the supply of hope was drained and the inventory of resiliency bankrupted. Emptiness. Loneliness. Disbelief and shock. Setbacks and untamed, ravenous circumstances.

Jesus would stop this disappointment. But you have to choose faithfulness over secular convenience. Jesus would end the confusion in the clouds of anxiety. But you have to trust Him more than you’ve come to trust Egypt’s military, the world’s way of winning and conquering and possessing.

Don’t go back to the world when it was the world that shattered you from the start. Don’t go back to the pit and make it a home when it was in that pit you endured trapped joy and the mire of relentless sadness. Don’t go back to the sin-location where track marks were in your arm and scars dug deep into your soul. You will only be disappointed again. You will only repeat a cycle of shame again. You will only be like the proverbial lost wanderer in the jungle, who keeps circling back around to the same spot, no sense of direction, no pilot of grace out of the maze. Just trapped. Just circling in the same dangers and discouragements. Listen now…

When Dr. Jesus Walks into the Room

25/10/30 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

November 2, 2025

God doesn’t need a second opinion on the condition of your heart for I John 3:20 says “…God is greater than our hearts and knoweth all things.”

God has the best prescription for life, the antidote that works every time, the daily vitamin of the soul that will resist hell’s bacteria for the Word stats in Exodus 15:26,

Exo_15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

God is not trapped to one location or one holy place or one sacred box where he might operate; He is the ultimate Doctor without borders for the Word says,

Mat_4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Cancer doesn’t get an exemption from the Cross. Diabetes doesn’t have dominion over the blood. Every virus on the planet, above the planet, in space, under the earth, in the air, in the caves, in the ground, in the seas; not one of them escapes the stripes of healing from the beating at Calvary. Every virus must bend its knee. Every sickness must surrender. Every mental ailment must acquiesce to the anointing that breaks the yoke. Every heart issue and blood issue and emotional issue must lay its weapons at the door of mercy and leave the premises where the authority of Doctor Jesus has spoken.

Not every sickness was healed in the days of Jesus on earth, but most assuredly, without even a hint of a shadow of doubt, without even one percentage of failure, every single individual Jesus ever touched or spoke a word of healing to, everyone was healed. No exclusions. No mishaps. No false diagnosis. No mistaken medicine. Listen now…

In the Last Days there will be confidence and confusion, democracy and imperialism. We will see men rise up with great authority and yet have limited abilities. There will be great deception in man’s ability to rely on himself, on humanism. Educational strength will be compromised by avarice desires. Hopes will be mixed with lying signs and wonders. Strong militancy will be mixed with hatred toward any kind of authority. And so, the weaknesses of mankind will be the ultimate undoing of the Antichrist Empire of the End; it will be pulverized by the Kingdom of Christ. Listen now…

The Cancellation Policy of Heaven

25/10/16 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

October 19, 2025

Luk 5:1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

Luk 5:2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

Luk 5:3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

Luk 5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

Luk 5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

Luk 5:6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

The frustrated fisherman glanced at the barren nets. He rubbed his hands over his eyes and wished he could wipe away the futility of the night. His back ached. His bank account suffered. He stared at a disappearing moon that hung like a curved blade over the waters, and part of him wanted to just cut up these empty nets and make new ones. The morning water lapped at his feet. The boats creaked in the gentle waves. A cool breeze brought no comfort to his tired face. His sleepy eyes dreamed of a big catch. But as the sun arose his spirit did not…

Nevertheless. It just cancelled everything negative before this word. It stopped looking at the past and it started seeing the potential of the moment. Let down the net, don’t give anymore excuses. Let down the net, stop talking about what didn’t happen. Let down the net…
And when they had this done…it’s not what Peter said; it’s what He did. It could have ended with something he said. We can’t. I won’t. I will never happen. Mind your own business. You don’t work in his line of work. Stick to what you know. I’ve toiled all night and I’m going home. The nets didn’t break until Peter first had a break…He broke from the past to empower the moment. You can’t empower the moment if your expectation is always looking over your shoulder; always anticipating the worst outcome. Listen now…

The Eighth Person

October 12, 2025

During the Storm. The muted thunder rumbled in a graying sky. Haughty men who had laughingly scoffed at Noah silenced their conversation. The roofs that served as umbrellas from the beginning rain would soon offer no defense from the flash floods. Soon the midday sky would look more like a sky in the night. Darkening clouds grew even darker. Lightning raced ahead of each deafening boom of intensifying thunder.

The thinking man who had reasoned away Noah’s predictions suddenly shut off his mind. For his hand held mouth could no longer speak logic; it was too busy screaming. Understanding gave way to shock. Need overtook arrogant denial; a need for safety, a need for survival, a need for shelter. Those who had danced in bars while Noah and his sons stayed busy building now began involuntary dance routines as the fountains of the deep broke up.

The thrill seeker became the God seeker. Undulating waves of death attacked every inch of lower elevation. As the nightmare continued, thousands rushed to higher ground. But doom could not be avoided; for the water ascended to higher elevations. They had a chance to enter the ark on a sunny day, when there was no threat of bad weather, when the rain of destruction was still thousands of miles away. Instead, rejection ruled their tongues; hateful rhetoric spewed with fervent insults now reciprocated back to them in untamed torrents.

The torment most felt was not provided by the swirling winds and rain, but in the horror of being so terribly wrong. All the tarot card toting prognosticators, the astrologers who studied the stars, understood celestial maps and calculated seasons had arrogantly overlooked the simple words of Noah. Listen now…

The Chaos of Conviction

25/10/02 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

October 5, 2025

The word “pricked” is very emphatic word; it is not silently passive. It means be pierced, stabbed, of the feeling of sharp pain. (Superficial doctrines that appease the flesh won’t do this to you; it won’t pierce you; it will pacify you.) It is connected to anxiety, remorse, and to be deeply moved. According to Greek Lexicon based on Semantic Domains it also means to be greatly troubled, to be acutely distressed. Interestingly, they said it also means, “to experience acute emotional distress.” My friend, this is what true repentance looks like; being confronted with the Gospel is not just a casual, pillow talk format; it is not an exchange of ideas in a debate with God; on the contrary, it cuts to the depth of the soul; it pierces through hypocrisies and carnal tendencies. It’s not the sugarcoated, mixed messaging tactics of hirelings. It’s not the discounted, cheapened grace interpretations of liberal theologians who move closer to sin-friendly assumptions. It is not the dull edged incapable philosophies of modern pulpits that seek humanist acceptance; which, is like taking a butter knife to a Redwood tree, the lack of sharp edged, cutting ability just ain’t gonna get very far.

Monotonous agreement with majority opinion. Flat-tire mobility of perverse ideas that thumps, thumps, thumps down the road to nowhere. Twisted theologies that change with chameleon frequency to fit whatever lusts of the masses dictate…

2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Not endure can also be translated tolerate. They will not tolerate sound doctrine. Listen now…

September 28, 2025

Noah built an ark for the salvation of his family. Then, after the flood, Noah built an altar for sacrifice. Salvation and sacrifice go together. And in the Christian life we need to maintain our altars. We learn to be selfless when we sacrifice. We learn to be continually thankful to God when we show in our relentless devotion. The Promises of God are not just about saving us from danger; but they are equally about showing us our future, our fruitfulness. So, don’t be hampered by hurt or bound by bitterness; build an altar and see yourself grow through prayer, preserving every promise of God spoken over your life. Listen now…

Preserving our Faith in the Last Days

September 21, 2025

David had a heart for God. He wanted God to preserve his existence and experience. He didn’t want to just amble through trials and treasures of life without God’s Presence; and he also had a passion for the Presence of God. The enemy of our faith can’t defeat us with offense if we preserve our heart, if we maintain a quest for what is right, and if we guard our thoughts and ambitions with truth. We need to be guarded by the grace of God. We must be hedged by His Holiness.

God can keep us from the wolves of hell. He can fend off the predators of darkness. And David wanted this preserving power. He wanted the Righteousness of God to empower him. This brings about an enduring testimony. It brings about a durable faith. Listen now…

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Notice, the digression of the sinful route. It starts with being persuaded, the counsel of the ungodly. Then, it digresses to being the persuader, standing in the way of sinners. Lastly, it digresses to being part of the creators of the content that persuades, or is of the persuasion of things rebellious to God; these are the wolves in sheep’s clothing, the wolves of rebellion, the goats of human will, and the false teachers who scratch the itching ears.

But there is a blessing in walking with God. It avoids the pitfalls of pride. It keeps you in the paths of promise. It assures a destination of truth and hope and deliverance.

Pharaoh or Follower

25/08/14 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

August 17, 2025

Then Pharaoh looked out his window and saw Aaron standing in a nearby field. Something was in his hand. Dirt? No, ashes. And just then Aaron and Moses required an audience and as they stood before the ever-defiant Pharaoh Moses lifted his hand and slowly allowed the ashes to sprinkle on the wind. From the ashes of the furnace boils were born. The boils got so bad on all the people that the magicians canceled their next performance; they were too embarrassed by the ravaging sores all over their bodies.

But the boils only boiled Pharaoh’s resolve, and he stubbornly went back to his room, slammed the door and would not let the slave labor be free. It’s funny how Pharaoh became more imprisoned by pride and became a slave to his own will and wore heavier chains of bondage to destiny.

You see, you can’t do it your way and have prosperity with God. And men often think God is just suppressing their skills or intelligence; that by making God a non-existent entity they can erase limitations or human guilt. But God isn’t going anywhere? And no matter who says He doesn’t exist simply doesn’t change His existence.

The fool hath said in his heart there is no God. But God is a rewarder of those who believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. There is no reward in rejection. There is no comfort in ignoring God’s existence, or in refusing God’s instructions, or in reforming God to be something man-made and man controlled. Listen now…

The Field of Answers

August 10, 2025

Where were you when God gave you a promise? It is important to remember because you may have paid it little attention if you were in a time of trouble, or if you were feeling your self-worth to be lower than the trash in a land fill. It’s hard to receive a promise when you are down in the dumps because you might just throw it in the dump. I wonder how many treasures could be found in the trash, how many seeds of prosperity lay in the wastelands of our doubts and fears?

Bankrupt. Broken. Emptied. Exhausted. There seems to be nothing left. All options are drained. Desolation rules where forsaken empires of vegetation once dwelt. The gates are unhinged and crooked. The walls are crumbled into piles and scattered in charred debris. Empty sacks once filled with grain blow around in the abandoned streets. It doesn’t look good. The future is mysterious and obscure. The nights seem longer and the days have little sun. Nothing is growing. There are mostly things that are rotted and peeling and wasted…

Jeremiah was instructed by God to make an illogical investment…

Part of this is that Redemption doesn’t make sense. Why buy something that looks run down and forsaken? Why purchase something that can’t give you anything in return? Why put value into property that is owned by another Master, for at the time Babylon possessed the land. Redemption doesn’t see the present condition; it invests on the future possibility. Not what it is, but what it could be.

You are now in a field of answers. Growing from the thickets of trial and trauma are lovely leaves. Pushing through abandoned acreage are tenacious stalks of restoration and grace. Shames melts away in the blanketing revelation of roses and lilies and orchids and hope. Walk out there and tear one from its soil, pluck it from the fertile dirt. And know that for every pain there is a promise; for every ache there is an answer; for every heartbreaking setback there is a Sovereign plan; for every fragment of dreams stuck in the potter’s field, there is a vessel of honor to be formed from the damage. As Romans 8:28 states, “All things work together.” Listen now…

As Long as You are Under It You Can Get Over It

25/07/31 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

August 3, 2025

We are overcomers when we submit to God. Our ability to withstand trials and test is directly related to our obedience to the will of God and our dependence on His Word. He shields us. He protects us. He secures us in the worst of storms. Submission places you in a better position to witness the Supernatural. God has not only a shelter to put us in during the storm, but it is strong enough to withstand any attack. When fear comes, He shields us with peace. When anxiety wrecks our sleep, He calms our spirit. You will break through the next demonic obstacle because you are an humble servant of the Lord. So don’t be alarmed by the world as much as you are assured by His protective arms. Listen now…

Peace of the Rock

25/07/24 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

July 27, 2025

You may feel at times that you don’t have the capacity for tenacity. Why? Sometimes beginning again looks like going again. Another cycle of disappointed. Another season of setbacks. Another moment of missing dreams. Another fruitless field ploughed for no gain. Another discussion ending in fury and pain. Another investment reaping weeds and thorns of disappointment. So why even try again? Why put in the sweat and toil when the results will only cause your blood to boil? Why push ahead with expectation when the last few times of doing so has brought only frustration and negation. You feel emptied by siphoning let downs. You feel uninspired by countless failures. You think negatively because consistent droughts in your land of dreams and you laugh within yourself when rain is forecast. But, when you know the promise came from God, then your persistence is based on continuing with a cause beyond your comprehension; moving forward despite the outward signs of encouragement or discouragement. You simply understand that at some point the journey’s path will lead to the opening of true joy. You will get that promotion, because your hard work with pay off; you will see Revival in your family, because every prayer will continue to persistently accumulate before the throne of God until fire descends, faith wins, and souls are changed. To persist you often have to resist.

Resist the temptation to quit. Resist the detour signs of earthly shortcuts and humanistic self help methods that may be contradictory to the Word of God. You see, we resist the Devil so that he will flee from us, James 4:7; but we persist with God so that he will come to us and through for us, Matthew 7:7. Resist the lies that would tell you the place you are trying to get to doesn’t exist (if the woman with the issue of blood had believed this she would never have persisted in falling to the ground, weaving her way through the crowd to touch the hem of the garment she believed to have her cure, Mark 5); the faith you are fighting for is inconveniently too far to achieve (if this were so then Abraham would have exhaustedly told God he could no longer pursue a city whose builder and maker was God; for there were so many altars built and desert lands traveled and mountains explored; but he staggered not at the promises of God, Romans 4:20); and your lack of worth will cause you to be rejected once you arrive (if this was true then the woman at the well in John 4 and the woman caught in adultery and shoved along ungraciously by the Kangaroo court of Pharisees, these women would never have received the well of living water and the mercy given by Jesus).

When the roof of your faith is leaking, keep seeking. Persist in the peace of what God has promised. Listen Now…

Our Greatest Comfort in Chaos

25/07/17 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

July 20, 2025

I believe the Rapture of the Church is upon us. I do not believe the Rapture has to wait for any Biblical prophetic, End Time signs to be fulfilled. As we face the growing crisis in Israel, and as we understand Israel’s role in End Time Prophecy, the appearing of our Lord seems more imminent than ever. There are several reasons why the Rapture is our greatest comfort in chaos. Some of the following are:

1Thessalonians 1:9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

1Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

The Patience of the Saints. Wait. Eagerly expect. Disciplined Desire. Continue stedfastly. What part of this shows sinful indulgence? When you wait you want whats coming, you walk with character, and you worship with consistency.
(1Th 3:13) To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
The Preparation of the Saints. Established in holiness. Unblameable is that which lives in repentance, not reproach. It gives a good reputation. No grounds of accusation. What part of this shows willful ignorance? Listen now…

Victory in the Valley

We face adversaries in a valley. In these times, our faith is revealed or our failures are magnified. Those who trust in the Lord always gain something for the better. We also face afflictions in the valleys of life. Miseries of mistakes. Ailments of the body and soul. And like Israel coming out of bondage, we rise above these afflictions to greater promises; for the area where they were used as forced labor to build the city of Ramses was only about 32 feet above sea level; but Jerusalem was some 2500 feet above sea level. So, in the low places Israel built a house for Pharaoh, but in the higher places of calling and deliverance Israel built a House for God, in Jerusalem. You can rise to new levels of faith with experiences and lesson learned in the valleys of life…listen now.

The Rain is not always on the Radar

25/07/02 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

07-06-2025

Recently, we were driving a short trip from New Orleans to Biloxi, MS. It’s about 100 miles. It’s all interstate, so that was nice. As we casually enjoyed our beignets from Café Dumon in New Orleans, I was in no rush because I had looked at the Weather App Radar and it was all clear. Several other storms were moving off to the Northwest, but that was in the opposite direction. So, we strolled back to the parked car, made our way through slow traffic for about 10-15 minutes and then we were off. Then there was thunder, and I was like, oh that must be headed the other way; but then raindrops followed by Noah’s downpour and for 70 of the 100 miles, it rained, heavy and heavier, not light and lighter. I was fussing. I was complaining about my Premium weather app. I felt like I had gone back to weather balloons of the past and needing to rely on old grandpa on his front porch with the weather predicting knee ache. Because anything was better than my state of the art, modernized, satellite backed so called accurate weather app.

And so, the spiritual lesson began. The rain doesn’t always show up on the radar. The sudden formation of thunderstorms is normal for that part of the country, and I was caught off guard. But here’s what I gained in spiritual insight. First of all, the rain was pouring but the road was still there. The direction hadn’t changed. The destination still computed correctly on the GPS.

Between the Devil and the Dawn

25/06/26 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

June 29, 2025

Exo 14:10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.

Think about it. The thing you just got away from comes running after you. Pharaohs of temptation. Chariots of addiction. Egyptian slavery of hate, anger, bitterness and pride. They won’t seem to just go away. And when Pharaoh draws nigh, faith seems to depart. Your confidence weakens. Your hopes faint. Your vision of a better tomorrow gets blurred by what’s behind you.

Yes, the Egyptians marched after them. Soldiers of war. Intimidating whip holders of the past. Superior weapons. Battle knowledge. Blood thirsty swords and spears. Un-tempered fury for combat. I mean what were sheep going to do against these wolves?

Somewhere out there, in the distance was a Land flowing with milk and honey; but right now they could only envision their own blood raining to the grounds, to a wilderness graveyard; they were supposed to get their own territory with their name on it, but it appeared at this moment, the Red Sea gurgled and sloshed in front of them; the armies of Egypt came in waves behind them.

They were now stuck between the devil and the dawn. They saw the worst. This is a timeless dilemma. One unexpected change in the circumstance and we believe the whole thing is coming apart.

Since the fall of man darkness has encroached, sin has ruled hearts, wickedness has evolved from generation to generation. Plagues and earthquakes have decimated populations. Fires and storms have plummeted lands. Death has feasted on the carnage of war. The devils are marching after us. Hell hath enlarged her mouth.

In 547 the Justinian Plague hit our world and claimed over 50 percent of the European population in a two hundred year period.

Then in the 1300s the Black Death another 50 million lives were claimed by a similar microbe that existed 800 years earlier.

Then in 1519 smallpox killed over 8 million in Mexico.

In 1633 smallpox showed up in Massachusetts and estimates are upwards to 20 million in casualties.

The Spanish flu of 1918 killed over 50 million.

HIV has claimed at least 39 million since the early 1980s.

There have been seven Cholera pandemics in the last 200 hundred years.

And now we face modern day COVID-19…there has been much devastation and loss, and we stand between the Devil and the Dawn.

At some point God brings His Voice and the Vision together.

Exo 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. Listen now…

Secret Powers of an Overcomer

25/06/12 at 9.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

June 15, 2025

The blood. This is not just blood loss on the cross; this is a bloodline flowing through time.

The cheap detergents of human reasoning can’t remove sin stain and blemishes of lawlessness. Corrupt cleaners only add more to the deep ruin of society. Unholy institutions that appear to have a good cause but reject the Bible act like they are disinfectants to injustices, but they end up only infecting with more hate, and anger, and vindictiveness, and rage, and destructive behaviors.

A testimony. It is a consecrated testimony. It is a committed testimony. It is a collective testimony. It is consecrated because it was dipped in blood, empowered by the Spirit, and grown like a sacred tree planted by the rivers of water.

A testimony is based on what you see. It is the witness of His resurrection, and it can’t be objected to in the court of the Almighty. This testimony speaks of angels wings shrouding the mercy seat in the OT tabernacle; it speaks of the holy lid covering the God-authored commandments, the miracle rod of Aaron that budded, and the golden pot of manna. This testimony of the Old Testament proved God’s presence among the Israelites; it served notice to heathen enemies that the Highest Power of eternity resided with this people. It summoned fire for sacrificial approval. It received the sprinkled blood of annual atonement. It was more than ornate, golden, Cherubim engraved furniture sitting behind a curtain; it was the essence of the Almighty who rules the Universe.

And that testimony now is not in an Ark of the Covenant but in the church of blood washed saints. That testimony has the evidence of life after death, the evidence of manna in the Word of God that every child of God reads and quotes and lives and prays; the evidence is in the Apostolic ministry that for two thousands years has been chasing devils and poisonous serpents of darkness back to the hell-pits from which they emerged; the evidence in this testimony is…listen now.

We are not automatons of religion. We are flesh and blood. God wants a deep relationship with us. Psalm 42 deals with depth of sorrow and depth of revelation. The Psalmist longs for the Presence of God. He is confined in unfriendly environs. He is absent from the familiar territory of the House of God. He is in enemy territory. Doubts abound. Deceivers encroach. Hatred boils. There is no common ground concerning the things of God. But the seeker yearns for the altar and the laver of cleansing and the lights of eternal hope. He wants to be in the tabernacle of the Lord. He parallels the thirst of a panting dear searching for the water brook with our earnest desire to be near God. God’s sovereignty meets by suffering.

Your Adversity has an Expiration Date

25/05/29 at 10.30am / by Dannie Hood / 0 Comment

June 1, 2025

1Pe 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

1Pe 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

The word strange is foreigner, so first of all the apostle is telling us that the fiery trial is your friend, not a stranger. To be foreign is to not know the territory; but this is no stranger of danger, but a friend of faith and revelation. Jesus called Judas friend. He knew what Judas would do. Anything that helps shape your destiny is your friend and though it becomes your enemy, the result reveals it was as if a friend had done you a favor.
Happened. Not happening. Past tense, not presently occurring. So, this means whatever was taking place has already happened. It’s over. Your past it. You’re through it. You’re at the end of the chapter. You’re over the mountain of conflict. You’re beyond the valley of strain and stress. You’re out of the wilderness of confusion. Your victory has developed out of the darkness. Your treasure has come out of the fire. Your faith has come out of the furnace of anxiety. It has processed into a promise. It has formed from broken to something priceless. Also, happened is a word that speaks of an event. An event has a time stamp on it. It is based on something transpiring at a particular time. If you buy tickets to some type of entertainment, it has a date and time on it. You can’t show up a day later and use the same ticket. Hey, devil you can’t show up in my tomorrow promise with yesterday’s pain…listen now.

The room was small. The huddled group was desperate. The blinding sun invaded the windows. Hungry feet paced. Desiring souls hummed. Stored prayers broke forth. Geysers of intercession. Explosions of determination. Burning embers of volcanic indignation. They would not remain silent in the storm. They refused to acquiesce to threats and human thrones.

Somebody burst forth in tongues. Another bowed and rocked back and forth. Others leaned against the earthen wall. No matter the position they all prayed. No matter the posture they all prayed. No matter the problems they all prayed.

Passivity dissolved. Faint heartedness vanished. Boldness blazed. Fear took a back seat to the driving travail. It got louder. The intensity flamed. The words echoed down the street. Sinners nearby heard it. Sanhedrin members would eventually get the report. The Jesus name bunch is back at it. Praying again. Preaching that name again. Their red faces of anger couldn’t stop it. Their verbal threats and physical harm couldn’t silence it. Their political motives and society concerns didn’t compromise them. They loudly proclaimed it. They amplified their souls from the hot furnaces of prayer and when their mouths opened, hot coals of truth lit the world on fire. Pray On…Listen now.

You can’t sow in Moab and reap in Israel. You can’t want earthly acclaim and Moab’s popularity and gain the heart of Judah. You can’t long for the successes of the world and reap the fruit of spiritual breakthroughs and encounter the incomparable supernatural. The nativity of the flesh was in Moab but the spiritual future, her significant part of Messianic lineage came when she left Moab behind. The lingering shame. The call of yesterday’s affections. The reach of people once loved. The connections of Moab’s causes. The fears of not being accepted in a strange land, in a new experience. The emotions conjured up when you think of things you knew in the land of your nativity, in the sinner’s home of spiritual Moab. But you have to leave it behind. You have to let it go. You have to loosen yourself from the binds that tie you to family traditions and long-ago influences. Eventually, the pressures subside. The temptations to go back, to do those things again are distant and cloudy and too ambiguous to challenge you.

Abraham left the Ur of the Chaldees for the yearning of a Kingdom.

Peter, James, and John left fishermen’s nets to explore the seas of the Gospel.

Jacob left his homeland for the people of the East and came back decades later with children who would make up the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus left behind heaven to deliver the world from hell.

Paul left behind Gamaliel’s teaching to take up the mantle of the Gospel to the Gentiles. Listen now…

And the colt in his scenario can quite simply be our faith. The simplicity of faith is what takes us in humility to the High Places of God. It’s not arrogance. It’s not the pride of this age.

The darkness. Pitch black. Nothing seen. Nothing known. Hidden in shadow. A Starless gaze into confusion. Endless space of stained ebony, lost and wandering trails of obscurity. Lightless shrouds of shame. Lonely and loveless. Colors disassembled. Revelation quiet. Illumination quenched in the lingering night. Capturing darkness. Crushing darkness. Killing darkness.

Who could unfurl the gloomy curtains? Where details could be seen and descriptions drawn. Where threads of life would be detected and concealed evil disinfected, by light and hope. Where a candle’s glow would be so bright in the depressive basement of hell. Just even a glimpse of Grace would feel like a birthing constellation. If there was merely a hint of heaven in the twinkle of a distant star. And that is what the glorious gospel became. Light shining in darkness.

Let there be light and a lamb was born. Let there be light and a savior carried a cross. Let there be light and anointing broke the yokes of sinners. Let there be light and lambs blood ran thru the veins of dead religions and raised up a living church. Let there be light and a cross became a compass of hope for a hurting world. Let there be light and dominion…

The Evidence of Things not Seen Part 2

The clouds that cover the sky, but nature synonym for the haze of holiness, the cloud of glory that would come near his people. It has been seen a time or two. And then, the disciples are standing on the rocky side of a mountain when Jesus ascends before their eyes. He is shrouded in puffy white, carried on clouds, a billowing garment of the heavens, and there are streaks of gray as if to hint at the Pentecostal rain to come. And then he is gone from their site.

And what did the angels tell them? Why stand ye here gazing for the same JESUS that you’ve seen go away shall also come back in like manner. He’s coming in the clouds. So, every day, when you look at those clouds in the sky, that’s evidence of things not seen. Listen now…

The Evidence of Things Not Seen Part 1

People need proof. They want things to be clearly seen. But faith operates beyond the humanly visible and possible. It is the evidence of things not seen. When nature’s fire burns, it is, but a radiant symbol of the nature of our God. For the scripture says our God is a consuming fire. So, every time you look at the flame on your stove, or strike a match, or sit by a fireside in a cozy atmosphere listening to the crackling wood, just remember that fire is the evidence of things not seen.

When you feel the breeze in your hair, or you watch a gust of wind, bend the trees in your front yard, or should you see the powerful hurricane forces that can blow down buildings, just remember that wind is evidence of things not seen. The wind of the Holy Ghost. The mighty rushing wind of Pentecost. Listen now…

Feelings that Interfere with Faith

February 16, 2025

Isaac trusted what he had been used to feeling. The hairy garment. The smell of the field. The gruff expectations of a hunter. We have to be careful of habit forming desires that lead us away from the certainty of Apostolic doctrine. Just because you feel it doesn’t mean you should say it, partake of it, or create a new belief system based on the power of that feeling. In the Kingdom of God it’s faith first, feelings second. “We walk by faith and not by sight.” II Corinthians 5:7.

He asked for venison and got goat. Venison was wild game associated over time with hunting deer. So, the taste of goat was disguised to resemble deer. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good. The taste test is failed when we trust the wrong feelings. We end up settling for doctrinal goat when God wants to give us the true venison of His will. We swallow the philosophies of the world as if they are the same thing as God’s unmatched promises. We pursue experiments in the name of freedom. We exercise liberties because we believe we can do what we want without consequence. We lose intimacy with God because we’ve been convinced that sensual things of the world are equal substitutes. We bless the things that God would curse. We evoke conclusions and content and commentary based on sensations, sensations that can cause us to lose our sensitivity to the Spirit. The more you repeatedly ignore the conscience the more desensitized one becomes to the wiles of the devil. We try things we should avoid. We incite patterns of behavior that could be avoided if we simply followed the instructions of the Word. The everlasting Word becomes subject to the temporary satisfaction. Listen now…

Psalm 65:5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

No matter where you travel or spend seasons in trial, God has a refuge to be found. A moving shelter. A constant fortress. A consistent help in the desolate places. Some might travel a few miles in life and forget what they left behind; but the power of truth goes with you. It travels well. You see, he gives confidence to the ends of the earth. If you are in the Siberian ranges of cold mornings and frigid expectations, he gives confidence. If you are in the Sahara of heat and desert and long miles of waterless journey, He gives confidence. It doesn’t just work in the regions of the familiar. It works in places we’ve never been. Territories of pain. Landscapes of sickness. Dark valleys of frustration. Your trial has a finish line, but not your treasure. To the ends of the earth, both in trial and time. Chronologically and emotionally.

And the powerful revelation is that it’s not a place as much as it’s a person. It says “Who art”, indicating the person of God. How could it get any better than that? Diving housing. Sovereign residence. Spiritual refuge. Confident and secure. Peaceful and refreshing. It’s kind of like a heavenly embassy on location. And God is the ambassador. Listen now…

We face uncertainties in a destructive world. Wars. Invasions. Terror. Life has unexpected twists and turns. But our confidence comes from the gentleness of our Heavenly Father. He lays his hand upon our heads and leads us to better places. He proclaims higher purposes. He protects us from ravenous wolves. His Hand catches us from the unnecessary falls that align with the human condition. And so, when everything else seems a disappointing mirage of lies and insecurities, we can always trust the Hand of our Father. Listen now…

The Urgency of Washing Wounds

January 19, 2025

Cleansing is important. But workers of iniquity stay filthy. If you don’t keep the filth out then stopping spiritual infection will fail. God’s word is daily source for the “washing of regeneration” (Titus 3:5). Jesus stated that his disciples would be “clean through the word (John 15:3).” Paul instructed the Corinthians that their past lives of sin and seduction should remind of the power of the Gospel because they were “washed”, made clean from their past. (I Corinthians 6:11) Paul also informed the disciples at Ephesus that Jesus gave himself for the church that he might “cleanse it with the washing of the water by the Word.” (Ephesians 5:26)

If you keep rubbing dirt in the wound how can it heal? If you keep giving your ear to gossip how your trust repair from past betrayal? If you let the mud of accusation be smeared on your injured faith how can it recover? Stay clean through the preaching of the Word. Stay disinfected from doubts and lingering failures by applying the ointment of truth, the balm of Gilead. You need some salve, not fifteen more minutes of the latest headline news that confuses and angers you. Take a break from social networks and the grime of gossip contaminating your spirit. Listen to His Word. Let the counsel of Scripture wash your mind from strife and needless stress.

I see bandaged people looking for complete healing, but their bandages are being removed by dirty hands, hateful people, and apostate teachers. They are not helping the wound. They are worsening the wound, infecting it with the touch of unclean doctrines. And you wonder why you become more suspicious of the church? And you question things that used to convict you. And you open channels of thought you would never have allowed yourself to tune into when you were clean through His Word. Listen now…

The King of the Mountain Part 2

January 12, 2025

There is a fight for preeminence in our world. Rulers want to be at the top of the mountain. Nations want to be the up-and-coming superpower of the hour. And, as kids, we’ve all probably played at one time or another King of the Mountain. But no matter who wins it doesn’t last. Someone is always going to come along and challenge and eventually take that position. But not when it comes to our King, Jesus. He is the true King of the Mountain, and his mountain of rule and power will one day fill the whole earth with His righteousness and justice. Listen now…

December 29, 2024

Faith is substance. It’s not empty belief rhetoric, or futile human endeavors. Faith is foundational. Faith has sturdy support systems, primarily the unshakable, unchanging Word of God. As we navigate a shifting culture we must build on durable concepts and relentless Biblical principles. We cannot sink into the quagmire of feelings and emotional reactions. We need the kind of faith that will hold us together in the most dramatic changes around us, during the most stressful storms, and through the most trying seasons of life. Listen now…
