The Battle for Spiritual Inheritance

“The earth is the Lord’s – all of it! The world and the people – all of them!” God claims the natural resources and human resources. Of course, all spiritual resources of the kingdom comes from God. Jesus is Source and Resource, the Author and Finisher, of our faith. Spiritual resources pass to spiritual generations. […]

The Passion of the Christ(ian)

Without passion for dying we lack passion for living. The passion of the Christ is for dying, being poured out like wine, broken like bread, a burning desire to finish His assignment, an assignment that costs Him everything in order to gain everything. He is pushed to the limit, and His passion for what Father’s […]

Non-controlling Leadership

Leadership of a group is different from fathering leadership, yet the two function in tandem; that is, leadership of a group is a fathering function that sets a backdrop for fathering individuals within the group. Each person within the group may experience leadership uniquely with leadership functions personalized to individual destiny, but this individualization maintains […]

Excuse Me, You’re Stronghold is Showing

Strongholds occur when your enemy takes advantage of your vulnerability. The wound, trauma, terror, or source experience “takes on a life of its own.” When I overreact, overcompensate, and overdo mundane life and living, I am exhibiting the residuals of that stronghold. Having a bad experience with one dog isn’t a good reason to fear […]

Blessed Beyond the Curse

Blessing is so kingdom! So New Testament! So powerful! So Jesus! Jesus blessed and cursed. Blessing repositions the blessed in the crosshairs of the target of blessing, a place where curse is broken, where limitation is broken down and broken through. On the other hands, things blessed can suddenly experience limitation because they have failed […]

Responding to Criticism

Some criticism needs to be ignored to death. No doubt about it! It is petty, unfounded, and more properly called “random opinion syndrome.” Some people just rattle on about things they know little or nothing about as if the world can’t wait for them to turn their brains inside out and dump the dust. Perhaps […]

Blessing the Promise

Is it possible that we have turned blessing around the opposite of it function? Are speaking blessing to obligate God when blessing flows freely toward what God wants, not what we want? Every function of spirit sources in Christ. God never gives man the responsibility to create worship. God creates worship and man releases worship. […]

Blessing

God is a Creator and Blesser. He blesses what He creates. His blessing authorizes. His blessing empowers. His blessing positions. The Hebrew “barak” means both “to bless,” and “to kneel” to denote the disposition and profile of the one received. The sense of blessing is to invest with favor, to expand on what was set […]

Leadership Function

We often use the phrase “lack of leadership” to describe poor leadership, but the reality is that we haven’t actually lost our leadership as much as we have lost the proper functions of leadership. Poor leadership and no leadership are obviously not the same condition. What’s “poor” isn’t the absence of leaders, a very undesirable […]

Healing

If we look at healing as “fixing something broken,” we can immediately see that healing involves contrasting conditions: broken or whole; function or dysfunction; destiny or diversion. Something needs fixing, and healing fixes it by restoring its condition and function. In Exodus 3, the water is “bitter” and the healing of the water makes them […]
