Jesus tells Peter to forgive his brother 70 x 7, a way of saying, “Just keep on forgiving.” Jesus also says, “This is wicked generation. How long must I remain with you?” He wasn’t having any problem forgiving them while pointing out the frustrating failure of their faith. So, there is a fine line between […]

Not all apostles are the same. Although the New Testament is filled with apostles, written by apostles, and written about apostles, very little discussion is given today to the apostolic ministry because a segment of the church has arbitrarily dismissed this leadership function from consideration. Yet, a considered treatment of what the Bible says demands […]

Mentoring can be an aspect of fathering but certainly cannot be the definition of it. Several dynamics of natural fathering may speak to the function of spiritual fathers, but natural fathering cannot be the model for spiritual fathering for several reasons. Abraham was a father of nations by a natural-fathering-first function: his own flesh and […]

Musing about this election remain difficult merely because of the overwhelming amount of information thrown at us. Cutting out the nearly obvious lies is not so hard. Pruning off the repeated perception-building propaganda is a bit more difficult. Narrowing focus upon probable criteria a major challenge. Add to that the startling reality of what actually […]

“He will teach you” is the most basic revelatory experience: being in the School of the Spirit. No matter how mature or infantile the believer, each of us is enrolled in this revelatory experience. God is actively, personally, and intimately involved in our lives! The process of receiving a renewed mind and implementing His guidance […]

My previous discussion focused a great deal upon the negatives of prophetic dysfunction, perhaps better labeled “pitfalls of internalizing,” especially addressed to prophets. Prophets have their unique spiritual, kingdom function and position, and the term “internalize” has unique application according to the discipline in which it is used. There are very few sources of discussion […]

Prophets are targets of spiritual information, but they are supposed to become rivers, not reservoirs. The information is usually not for them personally. So when prophets or prophetic people internalize information that is not for them personally, they take on responsibility and attempt fill roles they are not graced or gifted to take on. Elijah, […]

Tonight, we will focus attention on the heartbeat of FreedomMinistry, “The Discipline of Repentance,” and strengthen our wills to make surrender decisions that release the grace of the Cross into our lives. When repentance becomes a discipline, we are walking a path of personal transformation, trusting spiritual power and authority available from God, and making […]
