Leadership Functions in the Body
The spiritual Body is the ecclesia. The ecclesia is a spiritual Body. The two terms denote different ways of looking at how they operate. They are both spiritual because they are both kingdom. The kingdom is spiritual. Beginning with this understanding helps us avoid taking the analogies too far or attempting to make them too […]
Specific Prayer Ministry in FreedomRooms
Initial interviews are very helpful in FreedomRooms. Among the ministries that release healing, freedom, and inner healing, patterns emerge that are recognizable, that can be given a name or description, thus be assigned a response. In FreedomRooms we like to have the initial interview as a place to start, to gain the perspective of the […]
Beware Subtle Gnostic Mysticism
God is Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth. These people who worship in spirit and truth do not become God in order to achieve this level or type of worship. They do not require a superior humanity or advanced state of consciousness. They do not require a higher […]
The Apostle
Two comparable New Testament Greek words, apostello and pempein, both meaning, “to send,” reveal three fundamentals concepts: “being sent to originate and being sent to finish what was started.” Especially for John, the idea of being sent links Jesus to the Father as His Representative. The words are common in natural life, of course, but […]
Allow Purpose to Prioritize Your Work Ethic
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 […]
The Political Spirit
Aligning With Kingdom Purpose
Alignment with Your Fathers God set things up so that He would be your Father. God set things up so you would have a natural father. God set things up so you would have spiritual fathers. So, you have, at least, three fathers, and God set things up that way. You didn’t have anything to […]
The term “pundit” is a Sankrit word for a “teacher, learned person” that we use to speak of a person who makes a living expressing their opinion or communicating from a learned and experienced viewpoint. Pundits develop a following of people who appreciate their analysis and conclusions on particular subjects, and a reaction from those […]
Foundational Leadership: Apostles and Prophets
The Chief Cornerstone and Foundation of the Ecclesia is Jesus Christ. He laid the foundational leaders into place, setting the height, breadth, and width of the structure, setting the only point of reference for the plumb lines of spiritual construction. Yet, Paul says that the apostles and prophets were foundations for the Ecclesia and others […]
Our Mount Carmel and Its Meaning
Several years ago, when I was beginning to interpret and obey the heavenly vision I had about the nations, I wrote a book, The Spirit and Power of Elijah. In it, I began to work out some principles for preparing the Lord a people ready to respond in the next season. I was doing so […]
Candidates for Leadership?
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 […]
Oasis Living – Blessed beyond the Curse
God dwells with His people as an oasis in the desert. God is not concerned about moving His people into a wilderness because He intends to go with them and bless them! Israel multiplied in Egypt Israel moved into a desert strategy Israel multiplied in the desert, Deuteronomy 1:11, “And may God, the God-of-Your-Fathers, keep […]
Falling into the Trap of Offense
The use of Jesus’ term, a Greek word that Jesus and writers of the Gospels and Paul used in an unique way, has received a narrow treatment of meaning. The spectrum of meaning and application has been narrowed, in fact, so much that we have lost some of the unique meaning that Jesus assigned to […]
Harvesting Purpose: Leaders that Mature Destinies and Fulfill Purposes
<strong>Leaders Harvest Purp</strong> Matthew 9:36: “But when he saw the crowds, His inner man drew out a deep groan for them, because He saw they were grieved and distressed enough to pull out their hair, neglected as insignificant and without value as if they were sheep not having a shepherd.” Jesus’ discussions of […]
