If we were able to bring every person into a born again spiritual birth, the work of the Ecclesia wouldn’t be finished. Of course, evangels and people with a strong passion for winning souls tend to see this as the first or exclusive passion. Yet, this isn’t the premier or primary passion of Jesus but […]

A New Weapon for Brasil
Jesus says, I am the True Vine. You are branches. Father is the owner of the Vineyard. Bearing fruit is fulfilling purpose. Branches that bear no fruit, do not fulfill their purposes, are removed. Branches that bear fruit are pruned so that can fulfill more purpose. Branches are prepared to bear much fruit, to gain […]
Samuel and Kingdom Leadership
God only left one mantle of a prophet available. David was a prophet but he left a throne in place. Elijah’s mantle remains available because of the specific strategy of God to prepare The Lord a people who accurately anticipate what’s coming next. Samuel wasn’t really into the “prepare The Lord a people” thing. I […]
Mature Leaders, Mature Leadership
Many people envision a leaders as someone to do for them what they lack the strength of will and personal leadership to do for themselves, but such a concept of leadership is foreign to the kingdom of God. God is making a kingdom of priests and kings: the kingdom leadership He has provided produces maturity […]
Apostolic and Prophetic Maturity
Jesus bestowed five aspects of His kingdom leadership strategy upon the Ecclesia at the time of His Ascension. These leadership dynamics were present in His own earthly ministry, and they remain His modus operandi right now. That is, Jesus still functions as Head of the Body and King of kings in the full function of […]
Harvesting Purpose
Leaders Harvest Purpose Matthew 9:36: “But when he saw the crowds, His inner man drew out a deep groan for them, because He saw they were grieved and distressed enough to pull out their hair, neglected as insignificant and without value as if they were sheep not having a shepherd.” Jesus’ discussions of “harvest” and […]
Do Not Despise Prophesying
Paul says, “Do not despise prophesying.” Why would he need to say such a thing? If prophesying is a spiritual capacity that all of us should seek, if prophesying reveals the secrets of men’s heart so they say, “God is among these people,” if prophesying is encouraging, edifying, and comforting, why would anyone ever despise […]
David’s Spirit of Leadership
The question, “From where does David’s heart come?” may be the wrong question. It doesn’t necessarily come from somewhere or someone in the sense that it is received or imparted. A heart like David’s is developed. It grows and matures certainly by what it allows to be its focus or treasure, by the priorities it […]
Jesus Speaks Endurance to His Ecclesia
The parables Jesus uses to illustrate the days of ultimates for His generation teach us about endurance. The parables of Matthew 25 give His response to the destruction of Jerusalem He prophesies in Matthew 24. In way or another, we all see some parallels with other seasons of ultimates, generations that live through times when […]
The Passionate Love of God and Gays
God is love. Love is a trait of His character; so when His Glory is manifested, passionate love is revealed. What we often referred to God’s fire is often a manifestation of His passionate love. God is love. God is a consuming fire. His passionate love will burn up anything foreign to what He loves, […]
