Why George Washington University Should Celebrate Its Namesake
(Copyright 2022) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) The Washington Post recently raised eyebrows after publishing an op-ed that called for renaming George Washington University in order to address systemic racism and inequality. Such rhetoric, however, reveals a very limited understanding of history and is at odds with the nation’s most highly regarded abolitionists and Civil Rights leaders. For example, no one was more scathing in their verbal attacks on slavery and racial inequality than the former slave and abolitionist, Frederick Douglass. Yet, after much study and investigation, Douglass acquired a very high regard for Washington and America’s founders. In a July […]
Vladimir Putin, The Antichrist, and the Kingdom of God
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming and is already in the world.I John 4:3b In II Thessalonians 2:1-4 Paul speaks of an evil, end-time world ruler whom he calls “the man of sin.” This individual whom Paul says, opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, is obviously the same person that John refers to as “the Beast” in Revelation 13 and “the Antichrist” in I John 2:18; 4:3. In I John 2:18, John says, You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now there are many antichrists in the […]
The Startling Cluelessness of the Left-Wing Media
(Copyright 2024) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) It is startling that a professional journalist could be this clueless about America’s founding principles and documents. But during an interview on MSNBC, Heidi Przybyla, a journalist for Politico, slammed Christians who believe that their rights come from God and not from government. Przybyla declared that there is a difference between Christians and Christian Nationalists, whom she considers a threat to American democracy. One tenet Christian Nationalists hold in common, she asserted, is the belief that rights come from God, not from government. After listening to Przybyla, one has to wonder if she has read […]
Tracing the Roots of American Tolerance
(Copyright 07-31-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) I caught a portion of the Muslim funeral procession for the fallen NYPD officer, Didarul Islam, who was viciously murdered on Monday. Along with feeling sad for his wife and two small children, I was reminded of how this procession was an expression of American tolerance, which is rooted in our nation’s Christian roots. For example, try having a public Christian funeral procession with crosses and prayers in the name of Jesus in Iran or Saudi Arabia or any number of Islamic or Marxist nations. It will not be tolerated or will be […]
The War on America’s Christian Heritage
(Copyright 08-07-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) A federal judge has blocked a new Arkansas law requiring Ten Commandments displays in public school classrooms, citing concerns about the separation of church and state, which is not in the Constitution. Similar laws in Louisiana and Texas are also facing legal challenges. The photo above is of a Ten Commandments monument being removed from the Oklahoma State Capital Grounds after a federal judge declared it unconstitutional and ordered it removed. This government animosity towards the Bible is ironic considering that the first English Bible printed in America in 1782 was created for “use in schools” […]
Deported!
(Copyright 07-26-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) How Sue’s Deportation Affected Our Views About the Current Immigration Crisis Shortly after our marriage in Dallas, TX in 1976, we were surprised when American immigration officials informed my wife, Susan, who is Canadian, that she would have to return to her home country. She was deported. Being naïve about immigration laws, I had assumed that being married to an American citizen would make it an easy and simple matter for her to obtain permanent resident status. We were both surprised when she was told she would have to return to Canada and apply […]
History has Clearly Spoken: Mamdani’s Vision for NYC and America will Destroy the Economy
(Copyright 07-26-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) The election of Zohran Mamdani as the Democrat nominee for mayor of New York City, has set off a firestorm of controversy. Although he calls himself a “Social Democrat,” his statements carry a ring of Marxism. For example, he has called for eliminating private property ownership, and in its place, implementing government-run housing for everyone. He has also called for a government-run chain of grocery stores. These and other statements have led to many, including Donald Trump, to warn that he is a communist. Winston Churchill said, “Those who do not learned from history are doomed to repeat […]
The American Church and Donald Trump
(Copyright 07-31-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Daniel 2:21 says that God “removes kings and raises up kings.” Psalm 75:7 says, “God is the Judge: He puts down one and exalts another.” In Isaiah 45:13, God said of King Cyrus of Persia, “I have raised him up.” Donald J. Trump was raised up as President of the United States for a specific purpose, which the American church needs to understand. Trump was raised up, not to save America, but to give the American church a window of opportunity to awaken from its spiritual doldrums and be the instrument of God for […]
My Father Taught Me that God is Really Real without Saying a Word
(Copyright 06-14-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) When I was 11 years old my family was living on a farm near Tipton, Oklahoma where my dad worked as a farmhand making .50 cents per hour. Our family attended the Assembly of God church seven miles away in Tipton, and we were there every Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday night. Becoming dissatisfied with his situation on the farm, Dad began making plans to move to Dallas, Texas and work as a bricklayer. But as he made his plans to move, he heard the Holy Spirit speak in his heart, “What about pastoring […]
The Distorted Thinking Behind the Riots in Los Angeles
(Copyright 06-14-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) When Freedom is Turned into Lawlessness & Anarchy Political supporters of the violent protestors insist that they are exercising their First Amendment rights of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Assembly. This is a blatant distortion of those rights and America’s founders warned this would happen with an amoral and irreligious people. America’s Founders knew that the success of the nation they had formed hinged on the moral character of its citizens and their ability to govern themselves. For example, President John Adams, in a 1798 speech, warned, We have no government armed with power capable […]
When the Bible was King in America
(Copyright 06-14-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) The Bible was the most cherished and the most quoted book in early America. America’s founding generation found in the pages of the Bible its moral compass, its guide for ethics, and the lens through which it viewed and interpreted all of life. It is, therefore, not surprising that the second most popular book in early America proposed a ceremony making the Bible America’s king. In January of 1776, Thomas Paine published his very popular book, Common Sense, in which he presented compelling arguments for independence from Great Britain. The book sold 500,000 copies, which would […]
Living on the Resurrection Side of the Cross
(Copyright 04-17-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Throughout history the Church has emphasized the passion, the sufferings, and the death of Christ on the Cross, and thus highlighting the sufferings and sorrow of earthly existence. This is well and good, but we must not park there. There is the other side of the Cross—the Resurrection side—that we must embrace and live in. On the suffering side of the Cross, the disciples of Jesus, as depicted in the Gospels, are dull, fearful, and selfish, even arguing over who will be the greatest in the kingdom. On the Resurrection side of the Cross, […]
Why Jesus Appeared First to a Woman After His Resurrection
(Copyright 04-17-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) During the forty days between His resurrection and ascension, Jesus appeared to His disciples at various times and on one occasion appeared to over five hundred of His followers at once (I Corinthians 15:3-7). The gospel writers, however, are very explicit in noting that it was Mary Magdalene to whom He appeared FIRST after His resurrection. The importance which the evangelists attach to this fact indicate that it was no accidental occurrence, but that Jesus purposely appeared first to Mary Magdalene. A Revolutionary ActJesus not only appeared first to Mary, but He sent her forth […]
A Romanized Expression of Christianity?
(Copyright 05-12-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Tracing the Roots of the Pomp and CeremonySurrounding the Choosing of a New Pope The world seemed mesmerized with the magnificent pomp and ceremony surrounding the announcement of Cardinal Robert Prevost as the next pope. In the excitement of it all, Catholic news journalists found themselves declaring religious dogma rather than objectively reporting the news. One Fox News reporter, for example, could not contain his excitement, and gushed forth calling the new pope, “the direct descendant of Saint Peter.” There is, of course, no biblical basis for such pomp and ceremony, nor for the pope […]
Why the Church must Dismantle the False Belief Systems of this Generation
(Copyright 04-04-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) I recently sat with a small group in a circle that included Rafael Cruz, the father of TX Senator Ted Cruz, and his niece, Bibi Loyola, who is Ted’s cousin and grassroots coordinator. We were having an informal interactive Bible study and the conversation turned to the role of politics in changing American culture. I suggested that it will take more than politics and an election to change America. Everyone heartily agreed and Rafael pointed out that the church in America needs to understand spiritual warfare, and he quoted II Corinthians 10:4-5, which reads, For […]
The Prayers of George Washington
(Copyright 2022) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) As he was preparing to leave home as a young soldier, George Washington’s mother, Mary Ball Washington, exhorted him, “Remember that God is our only sure trust.” She also urged him, “My son, neglect not the duty of secret prayer” (Hyatt, 1726: The Year that Defined America, 131). The evidence is overwhelming that Washington remembered and carried out his mother’s exhortations. It is obvious that prayer played a prominent role in his life and in the birthing of the United States of America. Prayer As a Young ManIn April of 1891, several of Washington’s descendants, […]
An Elderly Native Chief Prophesies the Destiny of George Washington and America
(Copyright 02-20-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) He cannot die in battle. The Great Spirit protects that man and guides his destinies. He will become chief of nations, and a people yet unborn will hail him the founder of a mighty nation (Hyatt, America’s Revival Heritage-Second Edition, 73). According to historian, George Bancroft, these words were spoken by an old Native American chief concerning George Washington several years before the Declaration of Independence. He spoke these words as he reminisced with Washington and others about a battle, 15 years previous, when they were on opposite sides during the French and Indian Wars. The Chief […]
The Powerful Prayers of George Washington
(Copyright 02-20-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) George Washington’s father died when he was 11, which forced him to become a person of responsibility very early in life. He was profoundly influenced by his mother who was a devout Christian and when he was leaving home as a young soldier, she exhorted him, “Remember that God is our only sure trust.” She also urged him, “My son, neglect not the duty of secret prayer.” It is now obvious thatWashington took his mother’s admonition to heart. The evidence has accumulated that Washington was a man of prayer both publicly and privately. This […]
Was Tom Homan Right to Rebuke the Pope?
(Copyright 02-13-2025) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) In an open letter to the U.S. Catholic bishops, Pope Francis rebuked the Trump administration for its deportation of illegal immigrants. Francis insisted that assigning criminality to illegal status is contrary to Christianity and warned that such an approach will “end badly.” This is not the first time the pope has taken issue with Trump and his approach to immigration. In 2016 Francis held a mass near the Texas/Mexico border where Trump was planning the building of the border wall. He afterwards declared that anyone who builds a wall, rather than a bridge, to […]
A Person of Faith Explains “Dark Matter”
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Along with being a devout follower of Jesus Christ and committed to proclaiming and teaching His word, I have a deep interest in science, particularly astronomy. I have, therefore, read with interest recent articles about the discoveries of the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes. One area that has caught my attention is what astronomers are calling “Dark Matter.” Simply speaking, Dark Matter is an unseen force that is holding the universe together. It cannot be seen, and astronomers don’t know what it is, but they say it is keeping the universe from flying apart. For […]
Why American Christians have a Moral Obligation to Vote in this Election
(Copyright 2022) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus called His followers the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world.” These are metaphoric expressions of the positive influence He expects His followers to have on the world in which they live. The value of salt in Jesus’ day was its use as a preservative to keep meat from spoiling. Light dispels darkness, a figure of speech for ignorance and falsehood. We fulfill these words of Jesus through our words, deeds, and prayers. We also fulfill these words by being good citizens and voting for government leaders whose lives […]
Does America Have a Sacred Heritage? Dr. King Thought So!
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. believed there was something holy and sacred about America’s founding. He obviously considered the Jim Crow south, where he lived and worked, to be a sharp departure from America’s founding vision. Writing in 1963 from the Birmingham city jail, Dr. King declared, Our destiny is tied up with the destiny of America . . . We will win our freedom because the SACRED HERITAGE of our nation and the eternal will of God are embodied in our echoing demands. Frederick Douglass (1816-1895), the former slave and passionate abolitionist, came to the […]
The Frightening Prospects of a Major Political Party Turning its Back on God
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Russian-born Nobel prize winning laureate, suffered for eight years in a Soviet labor camp because he refused to acquiesce to the tyranny of the Marxist Soviet regime. In explaining how this could have happened in his beloved Christian homeland, he wrote, If I was asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to report, “Men have forgotten God; that is why all this has happened.” The DNC’s Official Rejection […]
Overwhelmed with Joy and Love
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Sarah Pierpont Edwards attended the Congregational Church in Northampton MA, which was pastored by her husband, Jonathan Edwards. Women were supposed to remain silent in the Puritan/Congregational churches, but a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit was occurring (the Great Awakening) and she could hardly contain herself at times. “I could scarcely refrain from leaping with transports of joy,” she exclaimed. One day she was so overwhelmed by God’s presence that she could no longer stand but sank to the floor. It happened as she listened to a visiting minister lament that God’s children should […]
America’s Founding Prayer was Offered in the Name of Jesus
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) The First Continental Congress opened with Bible reading and prayer on September 5, 1774, at Carpenter’s Hall in Philadelphia, PA. Fifty-six Delegates were present from all 13 colonies except Georgia. Among those present were George Washington and Patrick Henry from Virginia and Samuel Adams and John Adams from Massachusetts. They met to discuss how to deal with Britain’s oppressive actions toward the colonies. Beginning with the Stamp Act of 1765, relations between the colonists and Great Britain had steadily deteriorated as King George continued to pile on tyrannical taxes and regulations about which they had […]

America’s First Chief Justice Gave Some Shocking Advice About How to Vote
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) John Jay (1745-1829), America’s first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, gave some very direct advice about how to vote this November. That his advice will seem shocking to so many is only indicative of how far we have strayed, as a nation, from the mindset of America’s founding generation. Let Christian Morality Be Your GuideJay was a lawyer from New York, a member of the Continental Congress, and a passionate abolitionist. He was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers, along with Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. Held in very high esteem by his generation, […]
Why the Church must Avoid Forging Political Alliances in the Days Ahead
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) As followers of Christ, we must openly support those political candidates whose values and policies reflect our own. However, history shows that when the Church forges cozy ties and alliances with civil authorities or a political party, she loses her purity and the ability to be a bold, prophetic voice to the nation and those in power. Jesus, by His example, showed us the way in this regard. A Kingdom Not of This WorldThere were many political and religious parties in first century Israel, but Jesus forged no ties with any of them. How could […]
Why America’s Survival Depends on the Recovery of Her “Sacred Heritage”
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) America’s founders were far from perfect, but they established the nation on Judeo/Christian principles that they believed would serve as a moral compass to guide the nation through any difficulty or crisis she might face. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. understood this and writing from the Birmingham city jail, where he had been incarcerated, he acknowledged the nation’s “sacred heritage” and declared it to be a basis for his confidence the fight for racial equality would succeed. He wrote, We will reach the goal of freedom in Birmingham, and all over the nation, because the goal […]
Thomas Jefferson’s Prominent Role in Ending Slavery in America
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Thomas Jefferson is in the crosshairs of those on the Left who are demanding the removal of his statues from public places and the removal of his name from public schools. After all, was not Jefferson an evil, white slaveowner? We must remember that the goal of the Left is not to understand history. Their goal is to control history and shape it to drive their social/political agenda. As the character in George Orwell’s 1984 learned, “Whoever controls the past, controls the future.” The truth is that at a time when slavery was accepted and practiced […]
Why a Revived Christianity Will Be American Marxism’s Worst Nightmare
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) In his blockbuster new book, American Marxism, Mark Levin warns that Marxist ideology has now permeated every facet of American society, including the educational systems, the media, corporations, Hollywood, and politics. He obviously touched on a deep, felt need for the book shot to #1 on Amazon before it was ever released. That America is deeply concerned was confirmed in a recent NPR poll in which people were asked if they thought that American democracy was “alive and well” or “under threat.” Sixty-seven percent of the respondents said they believed American democracy to be “under […]
The Startling “Foreword” to the 2nd Edition
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) I am honored and thrilled to write this Foreword for such a timely, church-shaking volume as this Second Edition of In the Spirit We’re Equal. What this book addresses is not just a “woman issue.” What this book addresses is a “church issue” and an issue of discipleship and world evangelism. This was made very clear to me about twelve years ago when the Lord visited me in an unusual manner and instructed me to “identify” with Sue and her two-fold vision to articulate the Biblical basis for the equality of women and men in Christ and […]
When George Whitefield Rejected a Personal Prophecy from John Wesley
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) A personal prophecy should always confirm what we already know in our hearts. It is dangerous to build one’s life and make important decisions based solely on prophecies. This was dramatically illustrated in the lives of two of the greatest revivalists of all time. Wesley’s Strange Word to WhitefieldTwenty-six-year-old George Whitefield sat on a ship ready to sail for America from the port of Deal, located approximately 70 miles southeast of London. For some time, he had experienced a compelling call to preach the gospel to colonial America and now the day for his departure […]
Lessons from a Prophetic Movement that Shipwrecked the Faith
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Winston Churchill once said, “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” This is true of the church, which seems to repeat the same mistakes generation after generation, especially in the area of the prophetic. Much of the turmoil surrounding the failed Trump prophecies could have been avoided if the modern charismatic church had learned, not only from Scripture, but also from history. There have been numerous prophetic movements in history whose experiences offer invaluable lessons for the church today. One of those movements is Mormonism, which emerged out of the Second […]
The Real Reason for the Unfolding Tragedy in Afghanistan
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Young girls await in fear the arrival of the Taliban in Kabul I feel heartsick about the tragedy unfolding in Afghanistan, particularly for the women and girls who are about to be subjected to the most brutal forms of Sharia Law. It is a travesty that should never have happened. While many will be debating the logistical decisions made by the president and others that led to this catastrophe, I want to discuss the moral and theological decisions in America over the past 60 years that I believe have played a primary role in this disaster.

How to Recognize and Overcome the Spirit of the Antichrist
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming and is already in the world. I John 4:3b In II Thessalonians 2:1-4 Paul speaks of an evil, end-time world ruler whom he calls “the man of sin.” This individual whom Paul says, opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, is obviously the same person that John refers to as “the Beast” in Revelation 13 and “the Antichrist” in I John 2:18; 4:3. Both the “man of sin” and “the Beast” are described as putting themselves in the place of God […]
Is the Biden White House too Proud to Pray? Abraham Lincoln would say “Yes”
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Unless I have missed something, no call for prayer has come from the Biden White House during this time of national and international crisis. Even after 12 Marines were killed today in a terrorist attack in the midst of the turmoil in Afghanistan, still no call for prayer. Why not? Such an official prayer call from the White House would not be unusual. It would, in fact, be the American thing to do. From the very beginning of our Republic, presidents from George Washington to Donald Trump have called on the nation to pray in times […]
How the Resurrection Changed Everything for Women

The gospel writers, however, are very clear in noting that it was Mary Magdalene to whom He appeared first after His resurrection.

Jesus knew that actions speak louder than words and He purposely appeared first to Mary in order to make a clear statement about His […]
George Washington’s Answer for America’s Descent into Chaos and Crime
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Major American cities are descending into chaos with murders, thefts, assaults, and car jackings skyrocketing. This crime wave is a result, first of all, of a cultural rejection of God’s moral law. Secondly, it is a result of outrageous, lawless policies that are being implemented by leftwing mayors and district attorneys. These policies, which coddle criminals and demonize the police, are based on the “progressive” liberal philosophy that human nature is essentially good and it is evil institutions that are the cause of the problems. In this worldview, the criminals are by nature good people […]
America’s Anti-Slavery Founding Documents
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) In 18th century Colonial America, a great spiritual awakening ignited an anti-slavery movement that impacted millions, including America’s Founding Fathers. This resulted in America’s founding documents being formulated as statements against slavery. This anti-slavery characteristic of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution was understood by America’s founding generation. This has also been understood by abolitionists and Civil Rights icons such as Frederick Douglas, Abraham Lincoln, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King, for example, in his “I Have a Dream Speech,” exhorted America, not to dispense with her founding documents, but instead, to live up […]
Are We a Nation of Nominal (Name Only) Christians?
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) I read with interest Dr. Michael Brown’s commentary on Brady ‘Phanatik’ Goodwin’s announcement that he was renouncing his Christian faith. What caught my eye was the informal and sterile nature of the faith he was renouncing. In explaining his decision, Goodwin said, I sent a letter to my church withdrawing my membership and saying that I am denouncing the Christian faith that I have believed, professed, proclaimed, and defended for the last 30 years of my life. My heart goes out to Mr. Goodwin, but it sounds as though his Christianity was rooted in externals such […]
America’s Covenant with God
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) The earliest immigrants to this land believed that they, as a people, had entered into a sacred covenant with God. This was clearly expressed by John Winthrop who, in 1630, led a flotilla of eleven ships with 700 passengers to New England and founded the city of Boston and the Massachusetts Bay Colony. During their journey across the Atlantic, Winthrop formulated a sermon entitled “A Model of Christian Charity.” In it he exhorted his fellow pilgrims that “the eyes of the world are upon us” and that God would have them, in their new home, to be that […]
How a Great Awakening Turned America’s Founders Against Slavery
by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) America’s Founders are under attack. Their monuments are being toppled and their names removed from schools and other public buildings. Children are being taught that George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were evil, rich slaveowners who formed this nation to protect their wealth and maintain the institution of slavery. This twisted history of America is dividing and destroying her. The truth is that at a time when slavery was being practiced in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and many parts of the world, America’s founders turned against it. Dr. Thomas Sowell, who happens to be black, has written […]
Critical Race Theory and the Bible Answer
by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Critical Race Theory is defined by its name. For proponents of this new and novel theory, race is everything and “critical” for interpreting all of life, particularly American life. According to CRT, race is what defines you, labels you, and determines your worth and your role in society. This, of course, is rooted in Marxist ideology, which seeks to divide and conquer by dividing people into groups—the oppressed and the oppressors—and pitting them against one another. Classic Marxism sought to divide nations on the basis of economics, pitting the bourgeoisie (wealthy land and factory owners) against the proletariat […]
America’s Founding Documents Declared “Harmful” By Our Own Government
by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) In a stunning capitulation to the Marxist crusade to transform America, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has determined that America’s founding documents may be “harmful or difficult” for some users. They have, therefore, posted a “Harmful Language Alert” above their online catalog, which includes the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and other documents related to our founding. With statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson being toppled, the 1619 narrative being taught in public schools, and now this official warning of potential “harm” in reading America’s founding documents, it is obvious that the Leftist […]
A “Populist Uprising” is Confronting the Darkness in America
by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Back in June, I sensed the Holy Spirit saying that “a populist uprising is coming to America.” I had a sense of the meaning of “populist” but decided to look it up since it is not a word I use. I was presently surprised by what I discovered. “Populist” refers to people—to common everyday people. I then knew that “uprising” merely referred to common, everyday people arising, praying, taking a stand, and letting their voices be heard. Since that time, I have seen parents flooding school board meetings to protest the introduction of Critical Race Theory […]
How I Learned that the Spirit and Word Must Always Agree
by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) He was the perfect example of what happens when we neglect the Word of God in our pursuit of spiritual experiences. Without the ballast of God’s Word, we may well float away into a La-la land of false spirituality, and this was the case of this individual. My two friends and I encountered this strange little man while going door-to-door, offering to pray with people, and inviting them to revival services we were conducting in Kiowa, OK in 1972. We knocked on his door and he invited us into his home. We immediately noticed that his living […]
Contending for a More Pure Flow of Prophetic Ministry
by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Sue and I once stopped for the night in Pennsylvania coal country. I turned on the water to take a bath and it came out very dark. The water source was pure, but the pipes through which the water flowed were tainted with coal dust. And so, it is with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including prophecy. The Holy Spirit and His gifts are pure, but they flow through frail and fallible human vessels. In over 60 years of observing and participating in prophetic ministry, I have seen individual pride, personal doctrine, feelings, and misconceptions dirty […]
5 Reasons Genesis 3:16 is Not a Model for Christian Marriage
by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) I was driving along listening to a Christian radio station on the car radio. A well-known pastor came on and announced that he would be speaking about God’s plan for marriage. I was shocked to hear him read Genesis 3:16b as his text. This passage, in our English Bible, reads, Your desire shall be for your husband and he shall rule over you (KJV). I could hardly believe what I was hearing. I found myself exclaiming aloud, “No! No! This passage is not about Christian marriage. This passage is describing the distortion of marriage as a result of […]
All Hands on Deck
by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) After His resurrection, Jesus appeared first to a woman, Mary Magdalene, and sent her forth as the first witness and preacher of the Good News of His resurrection. His instructions to her were to “Go and tell My brethren” (Mathew 28:10). In other words, He required that His male disciples hear the Good News first from the mouth of a woman. This was significant, for the testimony of a woman was not allowed as evidence in either Jewish or Roman courts of law of that day. To send a woman as the first witness and […]
