Jesus lived to die. While that’s true, the more important aspect of His destiny is that He lived to die. He understood – as Creator, Redeemer, and Restorer – that dying to live becomes much more important than living to die. If merely lived to die, He would be a martyr. Noble, for sure, but […]

Beware the tendency to assume that a revelation from God positions you to be the source and resource of leadership for a movement, or that His revealing this to you means you are the only one who has this message from God. The revelation itself does not establish an assignment beyond your responsibility to communicate […]

Definitions of revival differ as greatly as definitions of church because the definitions conform to consequences expected and desired by various distinctives. People wish to assume that any move of God will be characterized by more of the emphasis to which they ascribe.

As we mature in recognizing the voice of God, we may mature prophetically, including intercession, worship, preaching, discipling, and leadership. This concept applies to all the kingdom leadership dynamics Jesus bestows upon His Ecclesia – apostle, prophet, teacher, evangel, and shepherd.

As He ascended to finish what His finished work enabled Him to finish, He bestowed some apostles, prophets, teachers, […]

There is a difference between speaking Truth and preparing people to receive Truth. We have been called to do both, and Jesus has a strategy for both. Beware the simplistic perception that all we are called to do is “faithfully” communicate Truth. Of course, we must be faithful to preach even if no one listens, […]

For more than 15 years, we have been fully engaged in establishing apostolic resource centers in strategic locations internationally. We did not plant a church because we knew that an apostolic resources center functions so differently from modern church-anity that people would continuously gravitate toward that model. Ecclesia should be built upon a kingdom foundation. […]
