Scriptures is prophetic communication. It has layers. All Scripture has primary interpretation, prophetic revelation, and practical application.   I have noticed a trend in those given to the prophetic side of things: they seldom countenance the primary interpretation at all and often miss the practical application.   Since prophetic people scrapbook prophetic experiences, they are […]

Who is the ideal candidate for advanced kingdom leadership training? Can we identify those more likely to pursue and persist? Can we actually eliminate some as a waste of time? Should we accept all who express a desire to some form of advanced training, or should we expect the Father will send us candidates for […]

Move Toward Greater Definition of Your Highest Work hard! Invest passion into purpose, and allow purpose to prioritize your work ethic. Some people call this “narrow your focus.” I refer to the pattern of leadership maturity that moves leaders into greater specificity as they step into the deeper reaches of “life’s work.” The principle of […]

Wherever Jesus, Paul, Simon Peter, John, or others went representing the kingdom of God, they encounter resistance for the prevailing spiritual condition. The prevailing spiritual condition manifested itself in the culture dominating the spiritual arena in which that spiritual condition had influence.

Potential produces overt individualism: we become enamored with “what’s in this for me?” Potential invests our passion in the pursuit of what is possible, as if that is the stuff of creativity. Potential moves us toward random, the celebration […]

Worship is created by God, received and released by authentic worshipers by spiritual experience. Worship is first spiritual reality then natural reality, and the conduit for that worship is worshipers worshipping in spiritual reality. If we narrow the field to that definition, we find ourselves talking about worship in a Biblical way, and we put […]

Having lost kingdom culture and remaining unaware that we have lost it, many of the principles, procedures, and protocols, unavailable to kingdom citizens and absent kingdom relationships, provide no context for how leaders lead and followers follow. Thus, we lack apostolic order. By “apostolic order” we mean “the alignment envision by the King, communicated to […]

TakeOver Leadership – Isaiah I was talking more about Joshua last week on this subject. This week I’m more focused upon Isaiah. I’ve always wondered about the experience of Isaiah because of the context in which the prophet frames that experience. “In the year King Uzziah died…” I believe this is more than a chronological […]
