The point of tarrying in Jerusalem was, “Have you got what it takes to sustain what you start?” When you are filled, there’s no reason to hesitate doing the ministry of Jesus! Just do the stuff! Personally. Daily. Everywhere. How you coordinate that with the Body is strategic. You cannot function without connection. “Every joint […]

Time to Tarry?
The point of tarrying in Jerusalem was, “Have you got what it takes to sustain what you start?” When you are filled, there’s no reason to hesitate doing the ministry of Jesus! Just do the stuff! Personally. Daily. Everywhere. How you coordinate that with the Body is strategic. You cannot function without connection. “Every joint […]
Preaching
Modern American Spirituality Someone told me the other day that they were tired of preaching, or ´being reached at.´ Recently I heard a Christian say, ´We don’t need more preaching.´Then, I read an email from someone telling me that their group meetings didn’t include preaching: “People don’t want to be preached at.” Interesting. Here I […]

Apostolic Unity
Ephesians reveals Jesus’ operational strategy for His Body, or “ekklesia,” poorly translated “church” (the word “church” is a word for a building or structure, but the word “ekklesia” means “called together for a purpose.”) By the time he gets to chapter 4, Paul is discussing the transition from Jesus on earth establishing kingdom to Jesus […]

Giving is Still Biblical
After getting an overload of “Biblical revelations” from people using the same Bible I read to prove otherwise, giving to God is still Biblical. We can give natural things to God. Yes, to God. In order to give God things, we give them to God’s leaders to accomplish God’s assignments in the earth. Giving to […]

Kingdom Reset 4
In my book, The Spirit & Power of Elijah, I began to make the case for presence-driven leadership. Jesus wants to be more involved with His Church than ever before! His Presence is not receding or moving away; He is getting more involved in the decision-making and problem-solving than ever. He is coming to stay […]

Kingdom Reset 3
Each of the 7 Churches of the Revelation had a problem or challenge to resolve. Jesus measured each of them by their response to that problem or challenge. Ephesus was commended – “You don’t tolerate evil people; you identify false apostles,” for example; both Pergamum and Thyatira were rebuked for “tolerance,” one for tolerating Balaam and […]

Processing the Prophetic
It was 6:44 AM. I was awakened with God’s voice in my ears. He was speaking to me about the process of prophetic guidance. Isaiah 64:4 says, “Since before time began no one has ever imagined, No ear heard, no eye seen, a God like you who works for those who wait for him.” [The Message] […]

Releasing the Power of Honor
“Those who honor Me, I will honor, but those who despise Me, I will disdain,” Jesus says. God does not make honor optional. He tells us who to honor and how to honor them. A self-focused or narcissistic generation overlooks the power of honor because of a faulty value system. Honor basically means “value.” The […]
