The Discipline of Submission

In each of the levels of FreedomMinistry, the heart is a discipline to be practiced to walk out the newly found freedom. In Level 3, Serving Leaders, that discipline is submission. The source motivation of obedience is submission. Leaders serving in kingdom culture must be more servants. They are friends of God who surrender to […]

The Future of America’s Ecclesia: What’s It Look Like in 2020?

“Not what you think,” might be the first answer to this question. What you see now or see as dominant now might not be what dominates the kingdom landscape in next seven years. What we celebrate most, the most visible, or what appears to be the latest trend might not be the best predictor of […]

Seeking Honor, Earning Authority

John and James asked Jesus for places of honor in Jesus’ Glory. Gotta think about that for a moment. It is His Glory and His place of Honor. They requested two shares of position they had done absolutely nothing to earn or deserve. So, He answers, “Can you be baptized with the baptism I am […]

Power and Purpose

God gives power to accomplish purpose. He knows what He wants. He tells us what He wants. He finds a people who will get Him what He wants, and empowers them to fulfill His purpose. Perfect release on His part. Perfect focus on His part. Perfect power on His part. We imperfectly receive, struggle with […]

Anointed to Preach to the Poor

Kingdom Presuppositions

Presupoose: “to be based on the idea that something is true or will happen; to assume beforehand.” Philosophically, we base what we think upon certain presuppositions. A set of presuppositions usually underlies a person’s worldview and mindset.

Accountability and Humility

Accountability begins with submission but cannot function without humility. Meekness expresses leadership motivated by humility: it gains strength from its submission. Moses was meek as long as he gained his strength of leadership from the Glory, but he struck when he should have spoken when pride motivated his leadership. While we can be held accountable […]

Revolutionary Revival

Twelve years ago God began speaking to me about the nature of revival. I immediately began writing about “the last American revival” because I had always been totally about the US in terms of ministry. I was experiencing God is new, powerful ways and interpreting these experiences in the context of my spiritual history. During […]

Tailor-made Church

Ephesians 4 says that the design of strategic leadership Jesus bestowed upon His called together assembly would produce maturity measured by the stature of Christ. Today I had a vision of a tailor shop. The tailor was measuring someone for a suit. It was a man. He measured his shoulders, length of arms to the […]

Gospel Preached to the Poor

Jesus designed a strategy to advance His kingdom perfectly consistent with His thinking and, therefore, completely foreign to the thinking of this world order, or “the spirit of the world.” Paul reminds us that preaching and Gospel appear foolish to the world order. Combined, they appear radically foolish. The wisdom of this world order, its […]
