Jesus tells Simon Peter that satan has demanded to sift the entire group of disciples but He has prayed for Simon to bring restoration after the sifting is over. The process of sifting is actually positive in process and end result, but it is does involve some violent shaking to expose the distinctly different elements […]

God authorizes through assignments and alignments. Once apostles receive assignment, God will bring others into alignment with their assignment. Authority flows toward assignment: you have the authority of your assignment, and aligning with apostolic assignments positions you to function in that authority. All authority comes from the King and flows toward His assignments. As Head […]

“Bless those that persecute you. Bless and curse not.” [Romans 12:14] First, persecution means “chasing after in order to apprehend.” A lot of the “persecution” people clamor about, ain’t persecution. Persecution is a process, not a correction or negative comment. A kingdom leader correcting you isn’t persecution! Your mother-in-law telling you how to take care […]

Elisha reaches down and picks up an available mantle. He is in the right place at the right time. By enduring. By focused commitment to preparation. By following Elijah, he is there to be discipled by Elijah, prepared for the moment he will function. Many mistake discipling with following. Simply put, you must follow in […]

Until you know your assignment, you have limitation in understanding alignment. If you base alignment on any other foundation, it is, at best, temporary, or utilitarian – that is, you use or even abuse alignment instead of submitting to alignment. While we maintain more than one alignment, given the multifaceted complexity of an international ministry […]

I would like to think we could just talk about the definition of terms and the meaning of words, and mostly, to be Biblical in our approach instead of smashing about with unresolved slogans. Old Testament and New Testament comparisons of “judgment” seldom address the real difference between before and after the Cross. The reality […]

Two comparable New Testament Greek words, apostello and pempein, both meaning, “to send,” reveal three fundamentals concepts: “being sent to originate and being sent to finish what was started.” Especially for John, the idea of being sent links Jesus to the Father as His Representative. The words are common in natural life, of course, but […]
