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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Moses Song includes this phrase: “Ask your father and he will show and your elders and they will tell you.” [Deuteronomy 32:7] Why should we ask about history from previous generations? 1. Because we need to know that some things never change. God has established some things that remain in place, fundamental to His purposes […]

Jesus uses marriage as a window of understanding. He pictures the Bride as the covenant people and Himself as the Bridegroom. Because of the New Covenant which He inaugurates with His Blood and guarantees with His Eternal Life, the people of covenant are the people of the kingdom. Jesus defines the relationship as covenantal because […]

The word, “apostle,” does derive meaning from the Greek word for “sent,” but the meaning and definition of the term carries far more depth than “sent one.” The usage of the word in a kingdom sense refers to an emissary of the royal court, representative, one sent to deliver a message, ambassador with the sense […]

God gives us models to break us out of where we are and give us a new sense of what is coming next. These leaders are next step leaders, and we need them. They are God’s strategy. They are foundational. That said, such men and women of unusual spiritual power and authority should raise the […]

The distraction of the enemy directly challenges the attraction of the Lord’s Glory. Those who observe Glory eternally are fully absorbed in His Glory, appropriately respond with wonder without interruption or disctraction. Ever! God is extremely attractive! He calls us to Himself. He stands ready to immediately respond when we move His direction. His eyes […]

Another leader is being revealed as a fraud with a fatal flaw. A lack of true accountability kept it hidden. The failure is broader than one person. And, the enemy will attempt to establish a lie that all leaders are frauds, lack true accountability, and have hidden fatal flaws. Why? To further erode honor. This […]

Today, I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, “The camouflage will no longer hide. The chameleons will no longer blend in.” Camouflage uses colors and patterns that resemble and mimic the surroundings to hide personnel and equipment, often for military use or warfare strategies. Chameleons possess the ability to change color in order to […]

The king of Egypt had a dream in which seven fat cows came out of the river followed by seven starving cows that ate the fat cows but remained thin. Joseph interpreted the dream for the king as seven years of plenty followed by seven years of drought that would consume all the seven years […]
