In my book, The Spirit & Power of Elijah, I began to make the case for presence-driven leadership. Jesus wants to be more involved with His Church than ever before! His Presence is not receding or moving away; He is getting more involved in the decision-making and problem-solving than ever. He is coming to stay […]

“Those who honor Me, I will honor, but those who despise Me, I will disdain,” Jesus says. God does not make honor optional. He tells us who to honor and how to honor them. A self-focused or narcissistic generation overlooks the power of honor because of a faulty value system. Honor basically means “value.” The […]

Resets always begin with “where are we?” We don’t leave things behind that God works into us between resets. When Paul and Barnabas are “separated for the work,” they are not separated from. They are separated to. Although several major resets in my life haven’t been by any means of measurement “pleasant, peaceful, or proper,” I […]

We all work and live within the kingdom on assignment. These assignment separate us to specific mission. The assignment defines priorities and leadership in our kingdom living and serving. Fresh orders come through this matrix. Being assigned means that we enter into a larger assignment, to expand that vision. New leaders do not change the […]

In FreedomMinistry Levels 1 and 2 we discuss how to release the power of the Cross and the power of the Spirit without limits. If hell cannot keep me from the Cross, hell will work to limit the power of the Cross in my life. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 1:17 that it is possible […]

TakeOver Leadership – Isaiah I was talking more about Joshua last week on this subject. This week I’m more focused upon Isaiah. I’ve always wondered about the experience of Isaiah because of the context in which the prophet frames that experience. “In the year King Uzziah died…” I believe this is more than a chronological […]

God gives us models to break us out of where we are and give us a new sense of what is coming next. These leaders are next step leaders, and we need them. They are God’s strategy. They are foundational. That said, such men and women of unusual spiritual power and authority should raise the […]

Twelve years ago God began speaking to me about the nature of revival. I immediately began writing about “the last American revival” because I had always been totally about the US in terms of ministry. I was experiencing God is new, powerful ways and interpreting these experiences in the context of my spiritual history. During […]

John and James asked Jesus for places of honor in Jesus’ Glory. Gotta think about that for a moment. It is His Glory and His place of Honor. They requested two shares of position they had done absolutely nothing to earn or deserve. So, He answers, “Can you be baptized with the baptism I am […]

The word we translate “bishop” means “oversee, look over.” It is a word interchangeable with elder. It is not a title or office, has nothing in particular to do with hierarchy as often applied by institutional polity and government, a leader over several other leaders or churches. It came to mean that after the Bible […]
