Apostle as Representative, Part 3
The apostolic foundations combine with prophetic foundations as next steps taken next to extend the chief cornerstone dimensions, width, breadth, and height. The metaphor suggests blueprints written received the needed and necessary “building materials” for construction once Jesus finished His preparation and assignment, rising from the dead and ascending to heaven in authority to restore […]
Apostle as Representative, Part 2
We do a disservice to the term, “apostle,” by overwhelmingly embracing Paul to the point of diminishing any and every other apostle. Even though Luke’s writings provide us the best and most complete picture of “apostle” as a person, all apostles are not like Paul. And, our overwhelming embrace of Paul as the master model […]
The Deviant Error of Balaam
“Apostle” as Authorized Representation
While there’s nothing wrong with simplistic references to Greek root words in a discussion, we often make complex statements from simplistic dictionary references of root words that really do a disservice to proper interpretation.

The Way of Cain
[This is part one of a three part series on the way of Cain, the error of Balaam, and the rebellion of Korah identified by Jude as a fundamental issue in the kingdom; from prophetic revelation for revival movements in Brasil and the US, and from apostolic decrees in Brasil and an apostolic meeting of […]
Apostolic Sending
The word, “apostle,” does derive meaning from the Greek word for “sent,” but the meaning and definition of the term carries far more depth than “sent one.” The usage of the word in a kingdom sense refers to an emissary of the royal court, representative, one sent to deliver a message, ambassador with the sense […]
Accountability and Humility
Accountability begins with submission but cannot function without humility. Meekness expresses leadership motivated by humility: it gains strength from its submission. Moses was meek as long as he gained his strength of leadership from the Glory, but he struck when he should have spoken when pride motivated his leadership. While we can be held accountable […]
