The Consumer Model A fathering model for modern church consumers begins with “What do I want?” The children then design and define relational dynamics based upon perceived needs. Fathers written into the script of potential receive no honor in this scenario. They redefine honor to fit the script. Honor simply means, “I will give you […]

The Graduates
In this vision, I am on my way to a graduation. The graduation is unlike anything I’ve seen before. No mortar hats and gowns from Druid and Masonic influences upon the measurement of educational achievement were visible. (I offer this without condemnation of present practices, but include it to be true to the vision.) The […]
The Practical Prophetic
Scripture is prophetic communication. All Scripture comes by human beings partnering with the revealing God. The uniqueness the revelation process that produced the Bible does not empty it of prophetic function. It is unlike any other prophetic revelation process. Nothing in our present prophetic process approaches It. The Bible is a complete Book. No […]
Practical Prophetic Living
Scriptures is prophetic communication. It has layers. All Scripture has primary interpretation, prophetic revelation, and practical application. I have noticed a trend in those given to the prophetic side of things: they seldom countenance the primary interpretation at all and often miss the practical application. Since prophetic people scrapbook prophetic experiences, they are […]
Kingdom Leadership – 1 Corinthians
Some of you say, “I am a follower of Paul.” Others say, “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Peter,” or “I follow only Christ.” These verses support for three or four scenarios of leadership perspectives. I follow no one but Christ. I follow no one at all. I follow whomever I choose. The leader who […]

He sent Holy Spirit. So, in this sense, even God Himself operates in protocols of purpose. Jesus accepted responsibility to Create […]
Hebrews 13:7 Kingdom Leadership Principles
“God has given you leaders responsible to guide you by convincing you to obey. Submit yourselves to that leadership role. The Bible says that we should obey people positioned in God-designed leadership roles. We should obey because they convince us to follow, not because they dictate or demand. Of course, that pretty much means that […]
Ten Things I am Doing as We Enter a New Era
1. I am looking for nothing else but the original design and definition of Jesus for Ecclesia. This generation will restore the design and definition of ekklesia. Here’s what we will do: We will battle against the trends of modern church-anity and church-growth-ism gone awry. We will recognize the difference between the accumulation of believers […]
Three-part Dream Christmas Night 2017: Some Applications for Kingdom Leaders
This dream came in three parts, Christmas night. I awakened between each segment, then continued the dream. The Balancing of Accounts In the first segment of the dream, God hammered home and synched the nail on a revelation He has been working into my spirit for a week or so. The paperwork had come through […]
Fathering Leadership Relationships
“Joined himself to a stranger” may be the most descriptive word of a fatherless generation. God as a Father never leaves us without fathers. If a situation does arise in which fathers are unavailable, He is a Father to the fatherless. In turn, Father recognizes that natural and spiritual fathering is necessary, even more advantageous, […]
