The Spirit of Rebellion
[Notes from Dr Don’s teaching on “The Root of Rebellion,” Level 3 IMPACT weekend, FreedomMinistry International.] Rebellion is usually identified in Scripture with specific people because of the behavior of those people.

Abusive Leadership Avoids Accountability
Everything we do as leaders should stand scrutiny, even stand the scrutiny of our enemies in terms of it being righteous.

Can everyone see miracles happen through their prayer and faith? Yes! There is a difference. I want to talk with you about raising the dead because God is raising the dead. […]
Fathering and Destiny
The first words of the New Testament initialize the Gospel by sourcing Jesus to His generations: “Abraham was the father of Isaac.” Jesus became the God-man who could say, “Father is My father, and Abraham is My father, and David is My father.” At the same time, He could say, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” […]
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 […]
A Prophetic Vision for North Florida
