How Long, Lord?

Just heard this week that a friend is getting married. Also heard of another friend who is pregnant. Then, talked with someone who is getting out of debt and experiencing some real financial breakthrough. Years ago, each of these people received prophetic words that promised what they are experiencing. Each of them experienced seasons when […]

After Judas, What?

This is a follow-up to a previous post about the Judas spirit. Jesus is revealing and dealing with the Judas spirit within the Body. This is a foundational to the resurgence of the Acts of Holy Spirit season we are in. As the Book of Acts opens, the leaders receive a forty-day crash course in […]

Next-Level Leadership Limitations

False Expectations False expectations often source from pride, and pride touches us when we have no particularly good reason to be proud! Paul says not to give a novice leadership because he isn’t ready to face this battle with pride. While I’ve certainly seen achievers and leaders with pride issues, pride isn’t a battle only […]

Next Level Leadership

The Bible reveals how God deals with man: nations, generations, individuals, the ekklesia, etc. In this revelation we can learn to recognize the patterns of heavenly leadership and respond quickly and boldly to what God is up to in our generation. The strategic design of the kingdom assumes strategic leadership, and God is continually moving […]

Apostolic Unity

Ephesians reveals Jesus’ operational strategy for His Body, or “ekklesia,” poorly translated “church” (the word “church” is a word for a building or structure, but the word “ekklesia” means “called together for a purpose.”) By the time he gets to chapter 4, Paul is discussing the transition from Jesus on earth establishing kingdom to Jesus […]

TakeOver Leadership – Isaiah

I was talking more about Joshua last week on this subject. This week I’m more focused upon Isaiah. I’ve always wondered about the experience of Isaiah because of the context in which the prophet frames that experience. “In the year King Uzziah died…” I believe this is more than a chronological frame of reference. Something […]

Divine Passion, Human Passion: How to Identity the Motivations of Agape Love

You can discern the difference between God’s passionate love and your own. God is not anointing your love with His; He is displacing your love through your surrender of your love to Him. When you love the Lord your God with all, the surrender of that worship and obedience sets you up for a greater […]

I Believe Revival is Here!

Revival is Here! Revival discussions that center upon defining revival, “true revival,” Biblical revival, or whatever label the analysis provides, usually miss the point because the objective is to define “revival.” Revival is like Glory: you cannot define it, only experience it. Usually, those seeking to define revival are seeking to position themselves as people […]

Warship and Trust

Psalm 106:12 – “Then they believed His words were true and broke out in songs of praise.” [The Message] The word “then” has some sense of “finally they get it” and “finally they are ready to trust what God says is true.” The New Living Translation says: “Then at last his people believed his promises. […]

Targeted

My Ipad has a locator function. I just push on the map application and the world shows up on screen. Then, map pin slammed into the earth to show where my Ipad is located at any given moment. Returning home from six weeks in Brasil, I awoke from a dream that reminded me of this […]
