The Galvanizing Passion of Personal Promise In a vision, I was Simeon. He is recorded in Scripture as a man with a promise. He would see Messiah. He lived his life waiting for the fullness of God’s promise. “I will see the Messiah, the hope of my nation!” For years he stood in the Temple […]

In a vision, I was Simeon. He is recorded in Scripture as a man with a promise. He would see Messiah. He lived his life waiting for the fullness of God’s promise. “I will see the Messiah, the hope of my nation!” For years he stood in the Temple looking at parents bringing male babies […]
Leading When You are Young
Relative terms like “young” require definition because they are comparative. If we say, “Youngest,” we know what that means. In some way of identifying a person, the others in that identification are older. If we say, “Younger,” we are comparing a person identified in some way with one other person. When we say, “Young,” we […]
Calling, Ordination, and Commissioning
In no case are we building a doctrine upon the distinction between calling, choosing, ordination, appointment, and commissioning. We seek a working definition by which to distinguish the moment of God’s assignment and His meaning of revelatory instruction for leaders. We see some very clear distinctions that must be made, but we do not have […]
Vision of David: Just Before He Met with King Saul
A Vision of David During our monthly David’s Army meeting I experienced a lingering vision that continued for more than two hours. I saw David standing to the side of the valley listening to Goliath cursing the Israeli army. He has already delivered the bread and cheese to his snarky brothers. He seems completely unfazed […]
Deliverance is Discipling or Shut it Down!
We continue to confuse the spiritual conditions produced by demonic influences and the operative results of our human flesh burdened with the limitations or misdirections of sin. First, works of the flesh are not works of darkness. In fact, darkness does not cause works of the flesh as much as darkness takes advantage of doors […]
Elijah’s False Prophecy: God’s Reset

It was a false prophecy. Elijah prophesied to himself: “I am the only one.” This false prophecy led him to jump to false […]
Your Life’s Work
Rees Howells pulled back from most of what we call “church” to give himself to intercession. When the demonic forces of Hitler would have overrun and destroyed his nation, he carried the burden on his shoulders. What if the decades of intercession have been your preparation for a spotlight season when you will carry kingdom […]
Increase Corporate Passion
Moses led the people to a dead end. The route to the Promised Land went a different way. He turned them into a narrow pass between two mountain ranges. They arrived at the Red Sea with no way to go but back. Then, Pharoah changed his mind about letting them go. He rode the most […]
Apostolic Priorities: Do This, not That
Priorities set by pressure empty the soul. In this world, you will have pressure. Pressure is constant. Need is a harsh, demanding cry in your eats. Jesus says, In this world, you will have pressure. Have great joy! I have overcome the world.” I was hoping He would overcome the pressure so it would go […]
