If we were able to bring every person into a born again spiritual birth, the work of the Ecclesia wouldn’t be finished. Of course, evangels and people with a strong passion for winning souls tend to see this as the first or exclusive passion. Yet, this isn’t the premier or primary passion of Jesus but […]

Jesus heals and puts you back where you would have been had the trauma not occurred through an accelerated process of restoration. Trauma comes in many ways and is experienced differently by individuals. The root word is Greek, trauma, and denotes bruising, wounding, the affects of physical force upon the body. The Good Samaritan story […]

I am completely sold on the idea that in the fullness of time by the fullness of Spirit, we are going to experience the fullness of the Ecclesia. Sold. Period. Too late to convince me of some neo-cessationism or “the last apostle died and Jesus quit doing anything supernatural.” I have looked at there isn’t […]

Jesus made it very clear that the basis of the Law and Prophets was love, not legalism. I mean, there is a lot of legality in the Law – it’s the law! And, there is a lot of uncovering in the prophets as well as promise – it’s reveal-a-tion! However, understanding the bedrock strata from […]

Jesus says, I am the True Vine. You are branches. Father is the owner of the Vineyard. Bearing fruit is fulfilling purpose. Branches that bear no fruit, do not fulfill their purposes, are removed. Branches that bear fruit are pruned so that can fulfill more purpose. Branches are prepared to bear much fruit, to gain […]

God only left one mantle of a prophet available. David was a prophet but he left a throne in place. Elijah’s mantle remains available because of the specific strategy of God to prepare The Lord a people who accurately anticipate what’s coming next. Samuel wasn’t really into the “prepare The Lord a people” thing. I […]

Culture is collective behavior. As behavior is to the individual, so culture is to the people group. The individual acts based upon values and beliefs. The culture shares values and beliefs in ways that produce common behaviors. While this overly simplistic, it serves as a basis for understanding how to disciple cultures. Note that Jesus […]

Many people envision a leaders as someone to do for them what they lack the strength of will and personal leadership to do for themselves, but such a concept of leadership is foreign to the kingdom of God. God is making a kingdom of priests and kings: the kingdom leadership He has provided produces maturity […]

Jesus bestowed five aspects of His kingdom leadership strategy upon the Ecclesia at the time of His Ascension. These leadership dynamics were present in His own earthly ministry, and they remain His modus operandi right now. That is, Jesus still functions as Head of the Body and King of kings in the full function of […]
