Time to Stand
by Francis Frangipane, 20 May 2009

My friends, no one needs to tell you that our world is a realm at war. The enemy has targeted our families, churches, communities, and even our very souls. To win our war, the kingdom of God needs trained, mature, "unoffendable" warriors to stand in prayer and advance into the world with anointed action.

Preparing for the Presidential Transition
by Francis Frangipane, 20 January 2009

Earlier today I received an email from the co-founder of a national website with a title that read 'Pray Obama fails.'  As a state-wide prayer ministry we shout NO to that headline! We ask the Lord to turn every word, every curse against our soon-to-be President into a blessing.  As God-fearing Christians, we do not agree with Barak Obama on a number of issues including our being pro-life and for one man/one woman marriage but we do NOT speak against him, the man. God gave us the one...

Finances, Fear and the Future
by Francis Frangipane, 29 November 2008

Spiritual Roots of the Current Financial Crisis Many companies were making huge profits from derivatives and chain linking mortgages. They were not making money from real work, nor providing any real banking services, but just manipulating money on paper. That dishonest work created false profits that eventually collapsed. Some in the Christian community have made a mistake to think that capitalism in and of itself is enough to bring God's blessing. That is not true. God's...

Please pray for Northwestern College students, Andrea and Kylee Schweitzer's mom who was in injured in a car accident this morning.

Andrea and Kylee play volleyball with our daughter Krista. We will stand in the gap for this family and claim the promises of God who can and will and is able...

The Day the Lord Has Made
by Francis Frangipane, 9 November 2008

At any given moment there exists, at the doorway to the future, two possible realities. The first realm is a darkened world born as a consequence of sin. It's ongoing rebellion toward God, coupled with the unredeemed events of the past, make this reality an extension of hell. Here, conflicts and wars become more wide spread; in this realm, morality degrades into depravity.Yes, and among those who would make a difference, the grip of fear immobilizes their actions. It is of this demonically...

Bin Laden's Capture being Prayed for ...
by Francis Frangipane, 3 June 2008

As I read the call to pray right now for Bin Laden's capture, something inside me leaped in faith. I know we have had false starts on this, but with the various prayer events already going on this year, with breakthroughs in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, something is accelerating in the Holy Spirit; a spiritual surge is occurring and God is calling us to pray the breakthrough.  As you bear witness to this call to prayer, please forward this initiative to your friends. For many reasons...

From Visitation to Habitation
by Francis Frangipane, 6 May 2008

There had not been a prophet in Israel for more than 400 years. Now, in the spirit and power of Elijah, John the Baptist stood in the Judean wilderness. Lightning flashed from his eyes as his message thundered across the terrain of human souls before him. The storm of God had returned!

The Destiny of Nations
by Revive Israel, 24 March 2008

Every nation has two groups of people in it: the general population, which is seen by God as being in rebellion to His authority (Psalm 2); and the remnant, which is the group of true born-again followers of Jesus (Yeshua). The spiritual destiny of a nation is carried by the remnant of believers within that nation. We cannot understand God’s purpose and destiny for a nation by the unbelievers— even though the unbelievers are usually the majority population within the nation. ...

Praying For America
by Francis Frangipane, 17 March 2008

Israeli press briefly covered the story of Barak Obama's pastor, Jeremiah Wright of Trinity United Church of Christ, preaching a sermon in which he repeatedly shouted, "God damn America, God damn America!" (There is no word in Hebrew for "damn" and the statement had to be translated as "God curse America".) It is not my purpose in this article to deal with the political ...

The Credibility Factor
by Francis Frangipane, 2 February 2008

by Francis Frangipane (En Español) I appreciate and defend the origins of our many denominations. Most were born as godly men fought against the sin and spiritual apostasy of their times. Their heroic stand preserved (or in some cases, restored) the truth of God in an otherwise dark world. From my heart, I thank God for our denominational heritage. Today, however, the need to remain divided from other evangelical congregations is unjustified. We can remain unique churches with unique...

Imam offers prayer at Iowa Statehouse
by CCNews Portal & Blogs, 26 January 2008

The Iowa Legislature started just over a week ago and some people were upset before the first issue was ever addressed. When the session began, a Muslim Imam began the prayer in the Iowa Legislature. This is where the controversy begins. The prayer asked of "Victory over those who disbelieve," and "Protection from the great Satan" among other things. Pastor Steve Smith of the Evangelical Free Church in Albert City is among...

What Iowans Should Know About Mormons
by Wall Street Journal, 7 December 2007

Yesterday, at the end of Mitt Romney's speech, he told a story from the early days of the First Continental Congress, whose members were meeting in Philadelphia in 1774: "With Boston occupied by British troops . . . and fears of an impending war . . . someone suggested they pray." But because of the variety of religious denominations represented, there were objections. "Then Sam Adams rose and said he would hear a prayer from anyone of piety and good character, as long as they...

Who Won 1st Place In Iowa ?
by CCNews Portal, 29 November 2007

Mike Huckabee seems to be garnering a large following. Please find a little time to visit his web site and evaluate whether you would support his bid as the Republican candidate for President next year. His position in Iowa should inspire us to get behind him if you agree with his position on the issues. He's got some interesting views about income tax, the "Fair Tax" proposal, and on immigration. Let me know what you...

Why Oprah Won't Help Obama
by Time.com, 27 November 2007

To win the Democratic nomination for President, Barack Obama still needs the same thing he has needed all along — for voters to see him as ready to be commander in chief by January 2009. So now the question is: Will appearing at weekend campaign rallies with Oprah Winfrey help him achieve that goal?

Beware of the Stronghold of Cold Love
by Francis Frangipane, 12 October 2007

Is your love growing and becoming softer, brighter, more daring and more visible? Or is it becoming more discriminating, more calculating, less vulnerable and less available? This is a very important issue, for your Christianity is only as real as your love. A measurable decrease in your ability to love is evidence that a stronghold of cold love is developing within you.
