“The Next Chapter in the Book of Hope: “Gaining New Hope Hearing Aids” As I was with the Lord in the “Classroom of Useful Information,””

In a powerful, divine dream, I saw 50 million people on a “Royal Journey of Hope” who were looking and yearning for a deeper knowledge of God as the God of Hope in every arena of life and throughout the earth.

Buying an aggregator and calling it a content play is a little like a company’s announcing plans to improve its cash position by hiring a counterfeiter.

The Lord authoritatively announced, “That dot represents all the evil of all beings and of all history combined. It’s temporary and fleeting compared to Who I Am. So what are you going to magnify?”

Then I saw a small dark dot enter the lower left corner of the vision. It floated up a ways and then suddenly disappeared.

I was taken in the Spirit to the burning bush on Mount Horeb, Moses’ “first ascension,” and allowed to witness the encounter he had with the Lord there. Throughout the visitation, I was enabled to know and feel the thoughts and emotions of Moses’ inner being. …

We deal with these fissures of hopelessness by stepping into these new hopes. The four new hopes that I saw the Lord giving us in this time are: Hope for the Unseen, Hope Against Hope, Carefree Hope, and Childlike Hope.

Then the Lord said, “This is the year of crazy, substantial hope.” Then I saw many sitting around the Table of the Lord whom He was about to address. There was such communion, love, and honor. Then the Lord took His place at the Table.

My people must run into the house of hope! The river will take you there! This is not a fearful thing. Respond!” I am hearing the Lord giving this call to the nations.

Personally I don’t believe in standing on the ice, or jamming the blueline, waiting. I have always told my players that hockey has to be played on your toes.

Books were not looked upon as things unobtainable due to economic circumstances or class status. My grandfather stole an entire set of Dicken’s from the local library.

I dreamed there would be a time to come together to “build out the Hope Reformation that would bring certain shifts to the leaders in the Body of Christ.”

The beauty of coaching is that you are working with human beings. I feel very comfortable with my staff that we can make a difference, that we can make a difference on the ice.

I never look at salaries. I have no aspirations of being a general manager or anything like that, I want to coach.

I had a bad time in school in the first grade. Because I had been a rather lonely child on a farm, but I was free and wild and to be shut up in a classroom – there were 40 children on those days in the classroom, and it was quite a shock.

Writing in African languages became a topic of discussion in conferences, in schools, in classrooms; the issue is always being raised – so it’s no longer “in the closet,” as it were. It’s part of the discussion going on about the future of African literature.

I’m a teacher still, but with a much larger classroom.

Grittier students are more likely to earn their diplomas; grittier teachers are more effective in the classroom.

The problem with public school is not overcrowding in the classroom. The problem is not teacher unions. The problem is not underfunding or lack of computer equipment. The problem is your damn kids.

Since then, I have spoken at hundreds of schools, classrooms and conferences around the world.

By bringing current events into the classroom, everyday discussion, and social media.

Teaching and writing have tended to proceed on parallel lines, but there have been times when there was indeed carry-over from the classroom to the creative work.
