Saul missed the what-God-wants of his life and generation by failing to wait. While we remember his failure for full obedience with regard to Agag and the Amelekites, Saul’s failure to wait for Samuel reset his whole life and leadership long before this more obvious failure occurred. Saul’s heart was revealed by his failure to […]

I made a Facebook comment recently that “order will not limit the function of our gifts and anointings.” I was directing attention away from the idea that leadership and accountability are limiters in spiritual operations. Leadership accountability is as basic to spiritual gifts as receiving, activating, and functioning in those gifts in the first place. […]

Jesus used this Greek term, ekklesia, [Greek word] in describing what He was building. He builds it on the Father’s revelation that He is the Son of God. That is, ecclesia [English word] is built upon the revelation of Jesus as God’s Son. The testimony of Jesus is the prophetic spirit: Who He is prophesies […]

Jesus makes a strong point, illustrated with sitting an actual child beside Him, about grown people “becoming childlike” in order to experience the kingdom of heaven. The occasion affords us some insight into the revelation. The disciples were reluctant to have children “interfere with important matters,” parents were bringing them to Jesus so He would […]

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 […]

Jesus esperou por um som que se misturaria no Brasil. Um som que Ele desejou ouvir na Europa, na África e na Asia. Ele enviou um remanescente desses lugares para esta terra e esperou por toda essa mistura de culturas e pessoas para criar um som no Brasil que Ele pudesse liberar de volta para […]

Jesus waited for a sound to be blended in Brasil, a sound He wanted to hear in Europe, Africa, and Asia. He sent remnants to this land and waited for the blending of cultures and peoples, to create a sound in Brasil He could release back into Asia, Africa, and Europe. It is a sound […]

I have been writing that the prodigal son’s father was dysfunctional for giving him inheritance when he was not ready. I maintain that sentiment, but I do want to mention the reason such a poor decision could occur. Good fathers are easily taken advantage of. The vulnerability of a good father is his tendency to […]

God’s strategy to leave Egypt is not the same as His strategy to prepare for inheritance. The strategy for entering into inheritance is different from the strategy of preparation for inheritance. God preserves inheritance for a faithful generation who pass the tests of preparation in the desert, the tests of growing and maturing that reveal […]
