Honor releases anointing. Dishonor always limits us from receiving what Jesus has sent us. Honor releases what Jesus sends through leaders. Dishonor limits what He sends us. We often demand Jesus give us directly what He has designed for us to receive through leaders. We dishonor His leadership when we dishonor His strategy for leadership. […]

Comparable words, apostello and pempein, “to send,” reveal two 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 take on a special meaning when […]

God’s concern for the prophetic is both maturity and authenticity. The first principle might be summed up in the phrase, “The spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet.” The second principle might be summed up in the phrase, “Many false prophets will arise to distract and draw away God’s people.” God’s perspective on […]

At some point we accepted the idea that shepherding is the preeminent leadership role of “church.” In doing so, we misread the word as a title instead of a function, and we further eroded leadership by assuming that “sheep” is the preeminent behavior of the remainder of the Body. We lost the need for apostles, […]

Jacksonville is the “River City” because the St John’s divides the downtown and dominates the landscape and directional characteristics of the area. Beginning in the marsh lands in the middle of Florida, the river runs north. When it arrives at Duval County, it begins to take over, opening a wide expansion of water as it […]

[Following up on previous posts concerning Jesus’ use of the word, ekklesia, in reference to His kingdom, and how what Jesus says and what modern churchanity assumes varies in massive ways, I wish to consider how to define Ecclesia in terms of assignment, location, coverage of a region, and kingdom legislative function.] We know that Ecclesia […]

Identity comes from the Creator, through revelation – He reveals who He created us to be – not through creativity, through imagination – working to reveal what you imagine in yourself through your own imaging as if what you can do or say revealing who you were created to be. Doing miracles, as Jesus does, […]

Jude says God has already long ago passed judgment. The term in verse 4 is “krima,” the Greek term for judgment decision with emphasis upon the verdict: “A long time ago God recorded His judgment decision about people like this.” God made a decision about people operating in these spiritual conditions, a judgment verdict handed […]

Problem solving is a leadership dynamic. The wisdom to govern was the request of Solomon, for example, because he needed to make decisions and solve problems if he was to be king. Obviously, we are not kings, but we do represent the King as kingdom leaders. As a kingdom leader, you deal with false accusations […]

Another poorly communicated prophetic dream by a young prophet who continues to insist upon seeing himself as a voice with greater volume than he should be applying to his words. The latest edition of “dream time quotations from Jesus” is about Marco Rubio, and the dream, as other dream presented by this young prophetic man, […]
