Articles by James Robison
Great Lakes Foundry 1990
In a used bookstore I buy a self hypnosis guide for a quarter and take it under leaning clouds to my apartment and in the spring afternoon I hypnotize me, going down the dark staircases of my ego and id into the deepest parts of my inner self, a trance in the bedroom where a mirror reflects an alarm clock. I feel a strange double-ness. Half of me is going, "Wha!" Half, I'm just a sponge soaked with human blood and no structure or muscles.
Why I Write | James Robison
I'm lonely but I dislike the company of other people and this puts me in a hellbox. MoMA just now has the de Kooning show and a reviewer somewhere was rehearsing this man's method of work, which was draw, paint over drawing, draw on painting, scrape off some paint-I know I know. You mess around and hit suddenly at an arrival point where the work is a perfect wreck, as new as dew to your eyes and Venice-old also, at least to your eyes.
Sally Ann | James Robison
| FICTION | *** SALLY ANN *** By James Robison *** The Montréal Review, October 2018 *** *** I’m 22 and used to be a Sting Ray, way back, three years before. Nobody even recognizes me at Larry’s Bar, and why the fuck would they, but I’m drunk with Dr. Allen. From never being in sun or eating, Dr. Allen has a shucked-out face, gray-hard.

How to Be Politically Involved Without Compromising Your Faith
By Bunni Pounds Published on October 31, 2024 I hear it all the time: “Bunni, how in the world can you be involved in politics?” In a time when politics are often polarizing and contentious, we Christians grapple with the idea of civic engagement that doesn’t compromise our faith. Even my own father felt for years that politics was inherently evil.
Tim Goeglein on How Christians Can Navigate the 2024 Elections
Conversations with Christians Engaged brings a special interview with Tim Goeglein, vice president of External and Government Relations for Focus on the Family, to discuss the general election on November 5. Goeglein discusses the scope of the critical choices that Christian voters have to make when casting their ballots not only in the presidential race, but also in U.S. House and Senate races, state races, and local races.
Praying for the Government Prayer Guide
Intercessors for America has created several helpful prayer guides that are pertinent to this election, which The Stream will be publishing intermittently over the next few weeks. Please make liberal use of them in your personal time between now and Nov. 5! For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is He who will save us. (Isaiah 33:22) The Lord Almighty is the Creator of all things, including government (Isaiah 9:6).
This Day in History: The ‘Elites’ Betray Christians to Muslim Slaughter at Own Nation's Expense
One of history’s most terrible pitched battles between Christians and Muslims — which took a total of three carnage-soaked days to conclude, ending on Oct. 20, 1448 — was waged around this date on European soil. The Ottoman Turks had been invading and terrorizing the Balkans for several years.
Walk Away - The Stream
By James Randall Robison Published on October 20, 2024 When God delivered the Israelites from slavery and Moses led them out of Egypt, it was just the beginning of their long journey to the Promised Land and the establishment of their kingdom. I have to wonder if it would have seemed simpler to turn Egypt over to the Israelites instead of taking them to a place far away. After all, they were highly respected after Joseph saved that nation from starvation.
God Forbid That Christian Conservatives Call for Political Violence
In his well-known book A Christian Manifesto, published in 1981, the great Christian philosopher Francis Schaeffer raised the question of when it is right for Christians to take up arms against the government. In his view, Christians should work within the system through legal and political means. If that failed, civil disobedience can be called for. Only then, as a last resort in extreme circumstances with a tyrannical government, he believed, could forceful resistance potentially be justified.
The Sad State of Contemporary Cessationism
By Michael Brown Published on October 11, 2024 Pastor P. Yesupadam is one of my closest friends in the world and the truest Christian I know. But he was not always a follower of Jesus. To the contrary, although his father gave him the name Yesupadam, meaning “the foot of Jesus,” he grew up hating that name and hating the caste system of India. That’s because he was born into an untouchable family, suffering terrible deprivation and almost dying of starvation as a boy.
A Nation Deceived
America has been deceived. This deception has been intentional on the part of some, and “the father of lies” is definitely a factor. Much of the deception, however, is unintentional and the result of promoting or accepting a belief system that basically denies absolute truth and the life made possible by knowing the truth — a Person — in a personal relationship. The powerful effect of lives transformed by truth is undeniable, for it is magnetically attractive.
James Robison: Vote for Freedom's Principles
This election isn't about personalities. It's about policies -- and the founding American principles (or lack thereof) underneath them. By James Robison Published on October 7, 2024 Stream Publisher James Robison has some strong words for believers about the upcoming election and how to go about choosing the candidates deserving of your vote.
Contending for Breakthrough: Spiritual Leaders
Tensions are high, and all eyes are on the November elections. What will the results mean for our nation? It is a critical time in history for both America and our world. While leaders determine a nation’s course, God is sovereign and can be trusted. Let’s humbly seek His Presence and His intervention on behalf of America. In a posture of unity, let’s agree that He is the only one who can turn the tide in our nation.
Has the Holy Spirit Been Kicked Out?
By Shane Idleman Published on October 3, 2024 A conference aimed at discussing how and why the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit have ceased is taking place this week. The Cessationist Conference, hosted by G3, has typically been held in California but recently transitioned to Oklahoma. I have a few thoughts to share on cessationism that are different from what conference attendees will hear this week.
God Likes to Talk to Us
By James Robison Published on October 1, 2024 All of us need direction and wise counsel. God offers that to us. Wisdom not only comes from the Word, but from above. The God who wrote the Word communicated it and controlled those who recorded it. The Bible itself is a supernatural, God-breathed gift. It can be trusted — not to our imagination or potentially misguided interpretation, but God’s written Word is absolutely reliable.
Prophetic Dream: They Want to Erase God’s Fingerprint from Creation
I had the following dream on September 11 (2024). It is an alert to the nation’s intercessors to recognize a demonic agenda that underlies many of the battles we have been facing. This is not just a war over our personal rights, our freedoms, or our sovereignty as a nation. Our spiritual adversary seeks something much more than just taking over our lives and ruling through fear and manipulation. The enemies of God want to eradicate anything pure, holy, and good.
James Robison: Hurricane Helene Is a Picture of Satan's Work in America Today
By The Stream Published on September 30, 2024 Stream Founder and Publisher James Robison has an urgent message from God to his body, the Church. Hurricane Helene is a representation of the destruction the prince of the air is causing in America today. “He wants to divide and destroy,” James says. “Much of our national leadership is being led by the deceiver.
America and the Poor
Jesus loved and cared deeply for the poor. Both the Old and New Testaments are filled with God’s commandments to care for the poor, for widows and orphans. The story of the Good Samaritan serves as a perfect example of an appropriate expression of compassion. Remember, both the priest and Levite walked by and paid no attention to the one in obvious need. Religious traditionalists too often neglect the direct commands of God while following their own lifeless, loveless traditions of men.
When Praying, Listen
By James Robison Published on September 19, 2024 God has not only called me to preach, He has called me to pray. It is important to note that Jesus commanded His disciples to preach, but He also taught them to pray. The ministry God gave me was birthed and bathed in prayer, and I am grateful that through it, millions have heard the Gospel proclaimed and professed their faith in Christ. But even while blessed in my ministry, I have found myself out of the will of God.
Rich, but Foolish
By James Robison Published on September 16, 2024 I know what it is like to live in poverty. I know what it is like to have nothing, but I was not taught to despise or resent everybody outside my meager environment. My mother had enough wisdom to teach me godly principles. When I was only nine years old, she married a man who was already 65 and on Social Security. He could not read or write, but she said to him, “Go get a job. Go mow yards. You can do it.
Common Concerns of the Church and State
By James Robison Published on August 30, 2024 Our nation is heading in the wrong direction, and much of the responsibility for this lies in the Church. Still, there is hope — and it lies in the Church as well. Our Founders understood the importance of personal freedom. Their journey toward freedom was similar to Israel’s supernatural deliverance from bondage in Egypt.
Knowing the Scriptures and Having the Power of the Spirit Are Two Different Things
Have you ever wondered what Jesus said to His eleven disciples when, after His resurrection, “He opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures” (Luke 24:45)? These men had been with Jesus for more than three years, hearing His teaching, talking with Him privately about the Word, listening to His debates with the religious leaders. But this day was different. Now their minds were opened, and, more than ever before, the Word was unfolded before them.
The Power of Prayer for Police Officers - The Stream
As of 2023, approximately 700,000 people serve as police officers in the United States. These men and women face unpredictable dangers daily, ranging from violent confrontations to complex emergencies, all while striving to maintain community safety.
The Blind Leading the Blind
By James Robison Published on August 23, 2024 When I was an 18-year-old freshman at East Texas Baptist University, I heard a touching story. One of our chapel speakers shared how a man blind from birth had been led to a skilled surgeon. After performing the meticulous operation, the man’s eyes were miraculously and perfectly healed. For the first time he could observe the beauty of God’s creation. A few weeks later, a beautiful and heart-touching act unfolded.
Dennis Quaid Talks
By The Stream Published on August 16, 2024 Actor Dennis Quaid stars in Reagan, a new movie about the 40th president, coming to theaters on August 30. In anticipation of the film’s release, Quaid recently joined Stream founder and publisher James Robison for an interview. The two discuss the film as well as the character and legacy of the man who led the charge against communism in the Cold War. React to This Post Like the article?
Neighborly Socialism
When accused of being a socialist, Kamala Harris’s running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, was quoted as saying, “One man’s socialism is another man’s neighborliness.” On the surface, this folksy retort seems harmless and even a bit inspirational. What’s wrong with being neighborly? Shouldn’t we all strive to embody such ideals? It is the Christian thing to do, after all — love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Our Most Powerful Weapons Are Spiritual
By Michael Brown Published on August 7, 2024 As followers of Jesus, there are two extremes we must avoid when working for cultural reformation. One is that we are entirely spiritual in our approach, relying only on prayer, fasting, and preaching the Gospel while neglecting the many practical, more “earthly” things we can do as well.
James Robison: Restore Unshakeable Principles
By James Robison Published on July 29, 2024 Stream founder James Robison shares God’s invitation to the Church today: “Put on the full armor of God that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil” and resist him in the evil day. Though America is under siege by forces of evil, he says, “We can walk over the enemy’s intentions.
Relax Your Quills
By Barb Roose Published on July 28, 2024 Porcupines have never had their day in the sun as popular pets. Their faces are adorable, but they’ve got about 30,000 reasons why there are no viral videos documenting their cuddly cuteness. Their quills are no joke. Porcupines are covered in tens of thousands of quills to keep them safe when they feel threatened. For an animal or human unlucky enough to get quilled, those sharp spikes cause great pain when removed.
James Robison: Return to the Lord
By James Robison Published on July 26, 2024 Stream Founder James Robison shares Joel 2 with a plea for the Church today.
James Robison: The Key to Extending Freedom
By James Robison Published on July 25, 2024 Stream founder James Robison shares God’s invitation to the Church today. “The stage is set for the greatest awakening in history,” James says, “but it must be led by the people who know the Creator, the Father.” Though America is under siege by forces of evil, and “the end of the world as we’ve known it is in front of us, it is not supposed to happen.
Blessing in the Borders
By James Randall Robison Published on July 21, 2024 When Joshua led the Israelites into the land God had promised would become their kingdom, he honored the words of Moses as the various tribes settled into appointed locations. For example, the clan of Zebulun’s land stretched to the Valley of Iphtah El, while Issachar’s territory bordered the Jordan River. The book of Joshua outlines each tribe’s cities and boundaries in specific detail. Why is this important for us today?
Stay Soft: Why Being Held by God Remains Important
By Charaia Rush Published on July 14, 2024 When he was little, my son would run to me when he was hurt. Any type of pain flung him right into my arms. Scraped knee, scratched elbow, bump on the head — he believed I was the one to run to when life gave him a beating. But once he turned five, something changed. Somewhere along the way, his reaction when he was hurt became to withdraw. To not want to be held, to not want to run into my arms. It hurt me deeply.
Supremes Refuse to Normalize Sleeping Rough
By Betsy McCaughey Published on July 7, 2024 Whether you live in a city or a small town, you’re a winner because of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, announced last Friday. The Supremes ruled 6-3 that municipalities can ban homeless encampments from sidewalks, parks, and other public areas. Sleeping in the rough is not a constitutionally guaranteed right, said the court. It’s likely no other Supreme Court ruling this year will positively impact more people.
Marriages Are Under Fire and On Fire
By Wanda Alger Published on July 7, 2024 This is a rather vulnerable post, but I share it as a testimony of God’s amazing grace. For those who can relate, I pray my own journey will encourage yours… Until recently, I thought it was only my marriage that was undergoing a huge transformation. Several months ago, the Lord uncovered a major lie I was believing that radically changed my perception of my husband.
Take No Prisoners
By James Randall Robison Published on July 7, 2024 “Kill them all!” That was the command given by God through Moses as the Israelites stood on the doorstep of their Promised Land. “When the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, and clears away many nations … and when the Lord your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction.

The Deeper Concern in Restoring Fallen Leaders
By Wanda Alger Published on June 25, 2024 With ongoing revelations of major ministers having hidden sins and unresolved pasts, believers are speaking out about the consequences to these exposures. Should we seek to restore these fallen leaders or prohibit any type of ministry in the future? Those who believe a leader has dealt appropriately with their past are asking for restoration to ministry.
The Power of a Present Father
By Michaela McLean Wilkes Published on June 16, 2024 “A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.” — Billy Graham Father’s Day is meant to honor and celebrate the fathers in our lives — yet for many, it is a painful reminder of an absent father. There’s little doubt that America is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of fatherlessness.

From Fatherless To Father-Led
Thank God for fathers. I hope you have one with whom you can share love and gratitude for his positive influence. Perhaps you have precious memories of a dad who now resides with our Father in Heaven. Or maybe you are like me and didn’t have a father who played a constructive role in your life. If so, I hope you have allowed our Heavenly Father to fill that gap. I know I have, and it has blessed me in so many ways. Betty and I rejoice that our son and sons-in-law are great husbands and dads.
Fight Fear - The Stream
By The Stream Published on June 2, 2024 I realized something recently that shocked me. It rocked me. It made me rethink so much of what I know about this struggle for mental and emotional health. Here’s what I realized: Both fear and faith require the same amount of energy. They both ask you to believe in something that hasn’t happened yet, and then act on that belief. They are really two sides to the same coin. Fear wants you to believe the worst is ahead of you.
Brokenness Will Come
Several years ago, I shared a message God burned into my heart. I titled it “We Have a Choice: Humility or Humiliation.” What I shared is truth. We will either bow before God or be broken before God. We will come to Him in humility as individuals, the Church, and a nation, or we will witness humiliation.
There Is No Fear in Love
There is a fascinating verse in 1 John which states, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love” (1 John 4:18). What exactly does this mean? We know that there is a fear of God that is healthy — a reverential, honoring fear. It is a fear that recognizes who He is: eternal, omniscient, omnipotent, perfectly holy, all light without any darkness. That kind of fear is an antidote to sin and folly.
Do You Need a Spiritual Gift to Heal the Sick or Cast Out Devils?
And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. (Matthew 10:7-8 ESV) By Wanda Alger Published on May 24, 2024 Do you realize that when Jesus told His disciples to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons they hadn’t been baptized in the Holy Spirit yet? Jesus taught His followers to perform signs, wonders, and miracles before they even knew about Holy Spirit.
New Devotional Book Highlights What We Can and Need to Learn From Persecuted Christians
By Aliya Kuykendall Published on May 23, 2024 Jeff King, president of International Christian Concern (ICC), is a student of the persecuted church around the world. He’s traveled to 79 countries, brought victims of anti-Christian persecution to Washington D.C., and continually hears from his traveling staff about the victims ICC is serving.
Enter the Kingdom
By James Randall Robison Published on May 19, 2024 When we think of the kingdom that Jesus established — the one that is “not of this world” — it can seem distant and far away. But Simon Peter, ever the practical guide, wrote very specific instructions to help us walk in this new kingdom.
Sunny Side of The Stream: Foster Care Awareness Month Highlights Opportunities for Christians
Looking for a way to make a meaningful impact in your church or community? May is Foster Care Awareness Month, highlighting the ways we can care for foster children and support foster families. The need is real. Over the course of Fiscal Year 2022, over a half a million children were in America’s foster care system according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, most likely because they suffered from abuse or neglect in their home.
