Kingdom Come! The kingdom is organized and ordered by the King. He has blueprints for building. He has schematics for body building. He designs the bride’s adornment. The motivation and licensure for most ministries is illegitimate. The blueprints do not call for this design. Leaders build outhouses that have not site preparation in […]

A Word for Pioneers
You are walking through a mine field, you must trust that the field is Mine. The field is Mine, and the field has mines. The pathway to the mines filled with ore, are filled with mines set by the enemy who claims those resources. The field is Mine, and the mines are Mine. You are […]
The Distraction of Potential
The enemy’s greatest distraction from purpose is potential. Our nation fell for this distraction from purpose. Potential produces overt individualism: we become enamored with “what’s in this for me?” Potential invests our passion in the pursuit of what is possible, as if that is the stuff of creativity. Potential moves us toward random, the celebration […]
Essentials for Kingdom Expansion
Is God Abusive?
I started reading an article on victims of church abuse. I was hoping for better but soon realized things were going to get even worse. The writer was appealing to all the poor souls abused in church by leaders or toxic environments created by leaders, and I knew the writer was a one of those […]
Worship That Ain’t
Worship is created by God, received and released by authentic worshipers by spiritual experience. Worship is first spiritual reality then natural reality, and the conduit for that worship is worshipers worshipping in spiritual reality. If we narrow the field to that definition, we find ourselves talking about worship in a Biblical way, and we put […]
Kingdom Culture Norms
I’ve been writing about kingdom culture and the need for it enough that people are asking what kingdom culture is. Jesus says the kingdom of God and His righteousness are to be sought after. What would you suppose “His righteousness” is? After you finish with “right standing” as your definition, consider that “righteousness” is right […]
Kingdom Culture: Restoring Prophets to Foundational Function
Even our best prophets tend to lean into the wind with an overt individualism. Allow me to quote myself, “The greatest test of a prophet may not be about the depth, detail, or development of his or her prophetic communication. The greatest test of a prophet may be his or her capacity to function in […]
Seven Perspectives on Favor
I was moved to explore some Biblical conclusions concerning favor while observing two distinctly different messages from leaders today: Being rich is a sign and signal of favor. Or, Being rich is a sign and signal of worldliness. God intends to have billions available to kingdom for influence. Or, God intends to make the church so […]
When the Supersaints Go Marching In: “I Go To Heaven, so Shut up and Listen to Me”
My Experience Trumps Accountability Consider why the first response of a person celebrating “I go to heaven all the time and live in the third heaven and ‘realms’ of Glory” will always be, “You don’t understand because you aren’t experiencing this.” Why is this first response? Because the sentiment of this person about accountability is […]
