Jesus said little-sized faith could move mountains into the sea. He said that little-sized faith should speak to that mountain and tell that mountain what to do and the mountain would obey the command of little-sized faith. The “mountain” would present impossibilities. The little-sized faith would represent obedience to assignment, moving forward with a tenacity […]

The Test of Mystery
Our trust in God must be complete for us to experience completeness. A pathway of progressive perplexity pushes us toward profounder surrender. Expanded revelation opens our lives to more mystery; the more we learn, the more we realize we don’t much. The more answers we receive, the more questions we have because we have enough […]
Rants on HealthCare and Freedom
Let me say up front that any government healthcare regulation or policy that restricts the free exercise of religious belief is blatantly and treasonably unconstitutional. Simple as that. ‘Nuff said. Careful consideration of the present dialogue about access to “birth control” and forcing religious institutions to pay for it, provide it, and support it, by […]
Ecclesia with International Authority
The ecclesia is called together from the kingdom, not the world; ecclesia is called together to receive an assignment and the authority to fulfill that assignment on behalf of the Kingdom of God. The function of the ecclesia is governmental and kingdom cultural, establishing and expanding kingdom authority and culture. In this mode it is […]
America’s Redemptive Purpose Restored
Recently, an American Supreme Court Justice visited Egypt, and stated she would not look to the US Constitution if formulating a new constitution in 2012. One wouldn’t have to strain or stretch far to identify this as a violation of her oath “to defend the constitution against all enemies.” I stop short of calling her […]
Entitlement and Mercy
I have some musing on the subject of entitlement and mercy: simply put, God doesn’t entitle us to stuff even as His children. He treats as true children and we must respond as true children. His covenant with us guarantees the availability of stuff, but not entitlement to stuff. Most people get mercy and grace […]
Word for 2012, Part 2, Tithe, Offering, and Kingdom
In 2012 God will claim what is His. The fundamentals of giving will be an issue with God, and He will make them an issue with us! Ananias and Sapphira did not drop dead because they kept back some of the proceeds of their land sale; they dropped dead for lying, for wishing to appear […]
Subtle Changes with Big Impact, Word for 2012, Part 1
We have lived through back-to-back-to-back decades of sweeping changes that have carried us into a decade of implementation. In 2012 the changes will be comparably subtle, but little changes will have massive impact on the implementation of sweeping revolution. While considering kingdom trends for this calendar year, I received a revelatory reminder that adding or subtracting […]
False Expectations and Grieving a Phantom
The atmosphere of narcissism moves the center to self much like ancient errors that Earth was the center. We live with a foggy mirror in our hands that reflects ourselves when we are narcissistic. It is foggy with false expectation. Paul says we should see Jesus in the foggy mirror, that beholding His Glory transforms […]
Discipling and Fathering
Discipling is Jesus’ growth, and maturity strategy for personal and kingdom leadership. Discipling matures ordinary Christians into ministering leaders. Discipling is not a temporary or paranthentical aspect of spiritual growth; it is a pattern of relationship that matures as the people involved mature. In other words, we are always being discipled and discipling if we […]
