[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.

Specific Prayer Ministry
Many of our most important activities are ceremonial or programmed. That is, some things are so important that we tend to preplan them down to a word-by-word, moment-by-moment progression.

Not Many Fathers, Part 3
Fathers originate. Fathers provide leadership for what they originate. If we define “leadership” as “influence,” then fathers influence what they originate. Fathering, as God designed it, cannot be separated from any of the institutions of society without a personal, spiritual, and cultural breakdown. The Greek word for “family” is a variation of the word, “father.” […]

Father develop inheritors from true sons and daughters. Destiny discovery and fulfillment is one of the most vital and personal purposes of a fathering strategy. God designed destiny fulfillment with a fathering dynamic: “Train up […]
Living the Dream: Matching Your Dreams with Your Destiny
Dream literally means “sleep vision.” The oldest English form of the words means “joy, mirth, and music.” The other peek-English forms follow along the lines of “vision, deception, imaginations of a sleeping person,” and references to music, noise, and merriment. Perhaps, some of the words blend in a sense of drunkenness. At any rate, 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 […]
