TakeOver Leadership – Isaiah I was talking more about Joshua last week on this subject. This week I’m more focused upon Isaiah. I’ve always wondered about the experience of Isaiah because of the context in which the prophet frames that experience. “In the year King Uzziah died…” I believe this is more than a chronological […]

Preparation for a Mantle
Elisha reaches down and picks up an available mantle. He is in the right place at the right time. By enduring. By focused commitment to preparation. By following Elijah, he is there to be discipled by Elijah, prepared for the moment he will function. Many mistake discipling with following. Simply put, you must follow in […]
Musings of a Spiritual Father
I just wanted to send an open letter from an open heart… Dear one, I saw you today and you saw me. I had just begun to raise my hand and greet you with a sincere smile and my heart-felt delight at seeing you again when you turned your head to avoid me and hurriedly […]

Apostle as Representative, Part 3
The apostolic foundations combine with prophetic foundations as next steps taken next to extend the chief cornerstone dimensions, width, breadth, and height. The metaphor suggests blueprints written received the needed and necessary “building materials” for construction once Jesus finished His preparation and assignment, rising from the dead and ascending to heaven in authority to restore […]
Rebuilding Kingdom Culture
Having lost kingdom culture and remaining unaware that we have lost it, many of the principles, procedures, and protocols, unavailable to kingdom citizens and absent kingdom relationships, provide no context for how leaders lead and followers follow. Thus, we lack apostolic order. By “apostolic order” we mean “the alignment envision by the King, communicated to […]
Apply the Supply! – 2
The Blood Line The blood line is a demarcation only enforce when I apply the supply. The Blood is available, with power and overcoming protection, but I must apply the Blood strategically to “draw a line” of demarcation. The line of demarcation had already begun to work for God’s people in Egypt in the sense that […]
Functioning as a Child
Jesus makes a strong point, illustrated with sitting an actual child beside Him, about grown people “becoming childlike” in order to experience the kingdom of heaven. The occasion affords us some insight into the revelation. The disciples were reluctant to have children “interfere with important matters,” parents were bringing them to Jesus so He would […]
Quoting God: Clarifying How Prophetic Ministry Works
Prophetic revelations should be written down whenever possible. Prophecy is a process. Sometimes when I am journaling what Holy Spirit is teaching me or revealing to me, I put some of the words in quotations marks because I hear them as God’s voice in dialogue. Yet, at the same time I use quotations to denote […]
Kingdom Leaders: Work-place and Worship-place
The long history of worship-place leaders and workplace leaders functioning from polar opposites moved toward restoration during the past three decades. The long-standing struggle changed, wrestling moves and holds were broken as new ones were set in place, so the struggle changed significantly but continued at arm’s length. The tension has no expiration date because the fundamentals […]

Worship That Ain’t
Worship is created by God, received and released by authentic worshipers by spiritual experience. Worship is first spiritual reality then natural reality, and the conduit for that worship is worshipers worshipping in spiritual reality. If we narrow the field to that definition, we find ourselves talking about worship in a Biblical way, and we put […]
Bloodline
Bloodline One facet of meaning for the term “bloodline” has to do with the linage of physical inheritance and the mysterious way that God utilizes genetics to produce unique individuals. Both the unique individual and unique inheritance flow from this bloodline. Jesus has the most unique bloodline of all! All Divine. All human. He inherits […]
