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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

<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 […]

Jesus tells Simon Peter that satan has demanded to sift the entire group of disciples but He has prayed for Simon to bring restoration after the sifting is over. The process of sifting is actually positive in process and end result, but it is does involve some violent shaking to expose the distinctly different elements […]

Scriptures is prophetic communication. It has layers. All Scripture has primary interpretation, prophetic revelation, and practical application.   I have noticed a trend in those given to the prophetic side of things: they seldom countenance the primary interpretation at all and often miss the practical application.   Since prophetic people scrapbook prophetic experiences, they are […]

We could paraphrase Clint Eastwood’s famous line out of context: “You gotta ask yourself this question, saint, Do you feel lucky? Well, saint, do ya?” Blessing speaks directly to Sovereignty of God. Luck doesn’t exist at all. Blessing is reality. Luck is deceptive fantasy. God doesn’t order anything with randomness. God doesn’t do everything, cause […]

We all wear masks. We hide some things on purpose. I mean, we hide things for a good reason, because we aren’t totally real with everybody. We can only reveal everything to someone with whom we have covenant. The deeper the covenant, the more real we can be. Our deepest covenant is with God, so […]
