Lifestyle and Culture Behavior to an individual is as culture to a group. However, when we apply the idea to nations, with God’s intentions in mind, we catch a revelation of Earth filled with diversity and variety based upon one constant–kingdom culture. Kingdom culture is the bedrock of every culture when a nation realizes the […]

Ekklesia is a Kingdom Culture Assembly
Define the Territory of Delegated Authority To have an ekklesia, you first must have a definable domain or dominion where a government rests in and upon viable authority. Jesus has all authority in Heaven and Earth, but Jesus rules through representative humans organized by the King into identifiable kingdom cultures by regions. John leaves us […]
Toward a Biblical Understanding and Application of Apostolic Fathering and Alignment
The Divine Revelation of Fathering and Apostolic Alignment The Philippian conversation on representation is inerrant, eternal Truth inspired by Holy Spirit revealing the thinking of God on apostles, inheritors, fathering, and alignment. If the Lord Jesus is willing, I hope to send Timothy soon to you. What I learn from him will encourage me, giving […]
Think What God Thinks, Think as God Thinks, Process God’s Thinking like God
How you process information guides your response to a revelation and brings you into implementation or stalemates revelation in a scrapbook. There is a reason for our desperate lack of implementation. God employs linear, circular, and spiral thinking in revelation processing, depending upon the role the recipient of revelation fills. ((I’m oversimplifying these technical terms […]
I Never Knew You
Not for One Moment Did I Notice “Saying ‘Lord, Lord,’ isn’t going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience that produces what my Father wants. I can see it now–when I decide to call people to account, crowds of people will feel bold to say, ”Lord, we prophesied, we cast […]
Avoiding Prophetic Intimidation in Prophetic Training
Elijah threw his mantle on Elisha to prophesy that he would become one of his inheritors, operate by shared spiritual experience in his anointing, and begin preparation for leadership. The double portion was a guaranteed thing at that point. When the mantle fell upon Elisha, the young prophet-in-process experienced something of Elijah’s spirit and power. […]
Living Fearless
The Spirit of Fear Paul reveals the spirit of fear to us in his letter to Timothy. It is the spirit of cowardice. While phobos is the common Greek word for fear and a deadly foe, the spirit of cowardice contrasts with power, love, and a healthy mind. For God has not furnished or bestowed […]
A Biblical Context for My Crosscultural Influence and Perspective
Subcultures mar, distort, and limit the full expression and desired, ultimate condition of God’s kingdom on Earth. Thus, while we can, with certainty, say God isn’t destroying the cultures of nations He founds, desires, and redeems, we can also say that cultures in restoration suffer from subcultural divisions foreign to God’s intended outcome. That is, […]
Toward a New Prophetic Nomenclature
Every subculture operates with its own nomenclature. Nomenclature is a system or set of terms or symbols special to a particular discipline or art, but subcultures produce their own collection. Listen to prophets who bring their own nomenclature into their communication. I do, but I avoid the creation of a subculture like a plague. I […]
Missing God in Our “Today”
Leaders Live and Lead “Today” By God’s Revelation of Tomorrow Jesus says, “Live today without anxiety about tomorrow because each day has its problem-solving opportunities.” Matthew 6:34 Do you live in the past or future at the expense of the present? Prophetic people accurately anticipate what’s coming next so they can prepare today. Often, the […]
