Pondering how God prepares leaders for their next levels, I was awakened by a night vision in which I saw David’s arm, extended high and about to bring down Goliath’s sword in order to cut off the giant’s head. I was surprised by the thought that God doesn’t train giant-killers by having them face giants. […]

Tearing Down What Jesus is Building?
If we do not properly define “ekklesia,” we may be tearing down what Jesus is building. We may also allow the gate of hell to stand against our substitute. In the US, a greater movement is in full swing for Christians to follow Jesus but not be part of church. I fully identify with the […]
Female Angels?
Yep, someone actually asked this question… …then, someone else actually answered it. Then, someone else said, “Yes, there are because I saw some in a revelatory experience.” Then, someone else actually said, “If you see a spirit being as a woman, she always represents something false or evil.” Then, someone else said, “No, because Jesus […]
Preaching – a Unique Mode of Communication
I’ve noticed a trend in Christian television away from preaching as the mode of communication. I think that is good. Yes, I think that discovering, uncovering, producing and perfecting other ways of communicating the message of the kingdom is beneficial to our calling and commission to “disciple nations.” We should be producing excellent media presentations […]
How Free Do You Want to Be?
During the ministry of Jesus, many believed on Him because of His Word and works. A period of popularity continued in which people were embracing Jesus’ ministry and leadership. Jesus says, “If you continue in My Word, you are really My disciples and you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.” […]
Dunamis Power
(See also Jesus on Raising the Dead) Jesus was a miracle worker. Consistently. With intent to manifest God’s kingdom power, He confronted the limiting factors of demons, disease, deficiency, and death. He ministered in the power of Holy Spirit. He ministered in this way because this is how things work in His kingdom; He ministered […]
Rebuilding Wounded Altars
You cannot curse the wounded altars if you wish to rebuild them and offer upon them the sacrifice that calls down God’s fire. Recall how Elijah repaired the broken altar on Mount Carmel, “The altar of the Lord that was broken down.” The Hebrew is “rapha,” and depicted Elijah’s repairs as “healing and wholeness.” The […]
Stop Avoiding Repentance
Jesus has a specific procedure for personal transformation. He has provided everything you need to so radically changed, inside out, that your destiny can be fully restored: you can be the person God created you to be. He is not turning you into someone else. He is restoring you along the lines of what He […]
Once Jesus Speaks, Everything Changes
The words of Jesus may be familiar to us: “Anyone who hears My words and practices them is like a man who built his house on rock. Anyone who hears My words but does not practice them is like a man who built his house on sand.” What we may miss the reality that once […]
Revolutionary Revival
“Revival” is an expansive term, and this broadness opens to door to misunderstanding when used to describe moves of God. Many times, I’ve heard leaders use the term “revival” in contradictory ways, or heard them say something about “our definition of revival” or “our kind of revival” or “false revival.” Not really sure how any […]
