DREAM: REMEMBERING WHO WE ARE
Kriston Couchey

When I pondered this dream in bewilderment, Father explained who the young man in the dream was; "It's the Church" He said.

Part I OVERCOME BY THE WORLD
In this dream I seem to be a young man just finding my way in life. I am away from home on a trip and while driving in a parking lot I am run into by a man in his car.

This is the early church as it began it's journey and beginning to enter maturity. The car I am driving has to do… Continue

PICKING UP A STONE OF OFFENSE
Kriston Couchey

And whosoever shall be a stumbling block (stone) to one of these little ones that believe in me, it would be better for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. ~Jesus~

Jesus is referred to as the stone which causes unbelieving men to stumble. The previous verse describes offense of another kind that is sin. Sin that is a stone of offense that causes another to to stumble or be taken captive to sin… Continue

THE RULE OF PEACE
Kriston Couchey

KNOWING GOD'S WILL
1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
There should never be confusion among the children of God as to God's will. God has freely given us all things in Christ Jesus, including His direction in EVERY path we are to take in life. He has given us His Holy Spirit. The Spirit gives us direction that we may know and walk fully in God's will. If you are truly His child, you ar… Continue

THE ADVANCEMENT OF SOCIALISM
Kriston Couchey

THE ADVANCEMENT OF SOCIALISM
In my nation there is a movement toward socialism in all levels of government. Many Christians have begun to react with fear and anger over this trend that seems to threaten the freedoms they have been given in the constitution of the United States. The reactions of both Christians and non-Christians opposing these changes in government have sometimes been a reasoned response, and at times shameful and ungodly. But… Continue

JACOB'S TROUBLE, THE TRANSITION
Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

In Genesis 32 Jacob is making a journey from being a servant in the house of Laban to becoming master of His own destiny. In this journey of transition, Jacob has trouble before him in his brother Esau, and behind him in Laban his old master. Yet this trouble was the crucib… Continue

As many of you know I woke from a dream as the words came, "take the articles you've written and put them in a book." My wife later woke in the night and exclaimed, "I know the name of your book, and I can see the cover!" That was in 2008, and the book is finally completed and in the process of publication.

As I determined long ago, I am making the ebook version available for free as a PDF download and viewable for free online as well. Click the link at the bottom of the page to access the book… Continue

Should have the ebook version for free in august, paperback version in fall...

THE COMING KINGDOM TIDAL WAVE
June 6, 2009
Kriston Couchey

THE TIDAL WAVE IS COMING
A tidal wave of God’s kingdom is about to crash on the shore of planet Earth as God is about to release a manifestation of Himself. A fresh, never seen before manifestation of God is going to break all barriers of men’s religious teachings and structure.

God is about to do outside the system of men’s structure and doctrine what these could never contain. This wave is going to destroy many works of the flesh tha… Continue

INTRODUCTION
This is a short picture of what I believe the Lord has revealed of what we can expect in the coming years, much is what others have seen and what the Lord has confirmed by His Spirit. There is a measure of being able to see or prophesy something, and then the wisdom to be able to recognize how it is applied. I am just as concerned with the application of prophecy as the release of it. I do not claim to see beyond this specific time period, or understand eschatology. This is s… Continue

I would like to take some time to share why i see the way i do and what the Lord has taught me concerning church growth, it's goals and methods. This might give a little understanding as to why I am confident in what I write and might be a help to others, and more importantly make a way to build bridges to others who see things a bit differently. I ask your forgiveness for being a bulldozer at times.

I grew up in an evangelical Christian Missionary Alliance Church, I graduated from one of their… Continue

WORKS FROM THE MOTIVATION OF LOVE
Kriston Couchey

THE LOVE OF GOD
Jesus was the perfect expression of the Love of our Father. Philip said, "Show us the father". Jesus replied, "Have I not been with you all this time and you do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father." Jesus also said, "The Son can do nothing of himself but what he sees the Father do; for all that He does, this also the Son does together with Him." (JB 2000)

EVERYTHING Jesus did was sourc… Continue

OBAMA INAUGURATION – A SIGN OF CHANGE

I want to start this prophetic article with an excerpt from James Goll and His insights to the Election that I greatly appreciate.

A Vision of Oil Being Poured on a Deep Rift!
While I was in worship and prayer with a group of leaders in Nashville, TN this past week a clear word from the Lord came to me. In a spiritual vision, I saw something that appeared like the Grand Canyon - it represented a wide and deep rift that historically exis… Continue

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

There is a concern from some that there is error being promoted in this website and there is an element of frustration as to what to do about it. Lets be plain about unbiblical teachings. They are called in scriptures "doctrines of demons". that means thay have thier source and promo… Continue

THE CHURCH: CALLED OUT OF BABYLON
Friday, 9. January 2009, 12:29:48

Kriston Couchey

CALLED OUT OF BABYLON
A remnant of Israel left Babylon (confusion of men's works) to restore the city of Jerusalem and build the Temple (dwelling place) of God. Prophetically we are in the midst of this transition. Thousands are being called out of organized churches, movements, and networks and starting small home groups, "organic" or "simple" fellowships of worship and relationship.

The remnant… Continue

KINGDOM REVOLUTION

Kriston Couchey

REFORMATION OR REVOLUTION
Famed writer Thomas L. Friedman disagrees with the assertion by some that we are in a green revolution. Some oil and car companies who traditionally have resisted change are now beginning to promote themselves as reformed green companies. The reality is that this new reformation has changed very little the nature of their business or how they operate. You can put green lipstick on a pig, but...… Continue

If Christ walked the earth today...

The hungry would be… Continue

True Spiritual Discernment – Making Righteous Judgments

Sunday, 30. November 2008
Kriston Couchey

Making Righteous Judgments
Scripture says “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: 'For who has known the mind of the Lord… Continue

PROPHETIC SIGNS FROM OBAMA'S ELECTION
I looked at the crowds of African Americans weeping at Obama’s acceptance speech and I saw a glimpse of untold pain of generations. As old and young wept with joy generations of slavery, abuse, oppression, prejudice, and hopelessness lifted off of their shoulders in a glimmer of hope and my heart broke as I rejoiced with them. In that moment my Father’s heart broke as well...

I began to understand even more cle… Continue

Abiding in Him, and the Secret Place of His Rest
By Kriston Couchey

Tens Years Ago
About ten years ago, I was depressed over failure in my life. As I stared at a tree outside of where I was working, the Lord spoke to me and said, "Believe that I am in you and you are in Me" I wondered at this, but knew deep inside this was a reality I was missing and needed in order to walk free from discouragement and sin. Over the years, I would claim that truth as I faced certain times of tempt… Continue
