Alignment: Shared Values and Passion
Alignment requires me to avail myself of what is available. That is, the leader shares, and I accept my shareholding responsibility. This means I sacrifice my values to prioritize someone else’s values. This means I sacrifice my passion to burn with someone else’s passion. Of course, the priorities are the kingdom of God and […]
A Word for Brasil
I heard God say, “The panther crouches at the door, Brasil. You must overcome it!” I remembered the quote immediately: “GOD spoke to Cain: ‘Why this tantrum? Why the anger? If you do right, won’t you be accepted? And if you don’t do right sin is lying in wait for you, ready to pounce like […]
Judge Kavanaugh: “Cave in Not,” a Prophetic Viewpoint
God often speaks in wordplay. He used it with Jeremiah in the “I watch over My word to perform it” section. He still uses it today. I heard “Kavanaugh” as “Cave in not.” That was a good word to hear! I think it applies on three levels: 1. He will personally not cave in. 2. […]
Vision of the Reformation Bicycles
The Vision During worship, I saw angels riding the front seats of bicycles built for two. I saw several hundred of them. The second seat was empty but they were arriving to pick up some people for a ride. Since bicycles represent individual ministry, I knew the angels were on personal missions. I was surprised […]
An Army of David’s
In the dream, I am with David as he arrives at the camp of Israel. The giant is roaring blasphemy. I am party to David’s feeling and passion. I am burning with the heart of God that dominates David’s passion! Our first encounter with David’s brothers would need a book to communicate. In one download […]
Primary Passion: Brasil on the Brink
Brasil, let us now measure our passion for purpose. Has success in kingdom expansion distracted you from the priorities of God? Have you become focused upon your part of the purpose of God? Have you have failed to expand your passion for purpose? When Jesus confronts Ephesus Ecclesia in the Revelation, He says, “You have left […]
False Honor and Kingdom Culture
I have been preaching and teaching Biblical honor for two decades. I have written about it. I have taught it in FreedomMinistry International to hundreds of thousands of people. That’s a context for this post. By combining three different stories, let me share how satan empties a Bible idea of its meaning. First, with distraction […]
A Hero Generation: Fathers and Millennials

The next Appeal to Heaven Conference is in Chattanooga, TN October 11-13, 2018. (For more information go to www.dutchsheets.org.) Hannah discussed Millennials within a context of generational studies […]
Stop Wasting Inheritance
Malachi says joining a generation comes by turning hearts of fathers to inheritors and the hearts of inheritors to fathers. This breaks limitation off the inheritance. The land is the inheritance. The curse is the limitation. Joining a generation has nothing to do with preparing a successor. We do not prepare and position a successor. […]
Do Apostles Boss Prophets, Part 2
To follow up the previous post, since the post was generalized. It lacked clarity with respect to the scope of leadership assignment. It addressed basic principles out of context of personal calling. It assumed authentic apostles and prophets. It ignored the myriad definitions of “apostle” and “prophet” that now make people something they are not […]
