God only left one mantle of a prophet available. David was a prophet but he left a throne in place. Elijah’s mantle remains available because of the specific strategy of God to prepare The Lord a people who accurately anticipate what’s coming next. Samuel wasn’t really into the “prepare The Lord a people” thing. I […]

Apostolic and Prophetic Maturity
Jesus bestowed five aspects of His kingdom leadership strategy upon the Ecclesia at the time of His Ascension. These leadership dynamics were present in His own earthly ministry, and they remain His modus operandi right now. That is, Jesus still functions as Head of the Body and King of kings in the full function of […]
Harvesting Purpose
Leaders Harvest Purpose 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 “harvest” and […]
Do Not Despise Prophesying
Paul says, “Do not despise prophesying.” Why would he need to say such a thing? If prophesying is a spiritual capacity that all of us should seek, if prophesying reveals the secrets of men’s heart so they say, “God is among these people,” if prophesying is encouraging, edifying, and comforting, why would anyone ever despise […]
Get Your Leadership in Order
[The examples I use in this blog are not of people who live in my current home town or are part of my current ministry leadership. Of course, they may resemble some people that are, so I say this up front – they are not. The stories represent hundreds like them. I’m referring to patterns […]
Jesus Speaks Endurance to His Ecclesia
The parables Jesus uses to illustrate the days of ultimates for His generation teach us about endurance. The parables of Matthew 25 give His response to the destruction of Jerusalem He prophesies in Matthew 24. In way or another, we all see some parallels with other seasons of ultimates, generations that live through times when […]
The Passionate Love of God and Gays
God is love. Love is a trait of His character; so when His Glory is manifested, passionate love is revealed. What we often referred to God’s fire is often a manifestation of His passionate love. God is love. God is a consuming fire. His passionate love will burn up anything foreign to what He loves, […]
Specific Prayer Ministry, Spiritual Gift Capacities
The best way to minister SpiritFirst involves spiritual gift capacities as the primary means of determining strategy. Once we set the goal of operating and functioning by spiritual authority and power, we surrender to the work of Holy Spirit most easily through the spiritual gift capacities He has given us. This often sets up the […]
Personal Awakening Revival – PAR
Apostles and prophets see the broad picture – in different ways and from different perspectives – but they see the end result that 98% of the people do not see. While prophetic and apostolic people do experience things spiritually that allow them to catch the vision at some level, to some extent, the broader foundational […]
Jacob’s Identity Crisis at Jabbok
Jacob arrives at Jabbok to face the source of his fear and guilt. Jacob has a prophetic promise to be the inheritor of Abraham’s covenant with God. He has the right to the covenant with God, but he will be prepared as an inheritor at Jabbok. Jabbok means “emptying out.” It is a brook that […]
Let’s Review our Prophetic Protocols Basics
We need to go back to basics with prophetic protocols. Really! We have to revisit the simplest aspects of revelatory experience. A season of maturing must come, and we must begin a proper dialogue of how prophetic ministry functions. We need to get a basic discussion going about the intentions of God in revelation, the […]
