Jesus’ command for His kingdom representatives: “Go and wherever you go, disciple the cultures.” While there are other words for “people” and “political” that identify people-groups and nations, the term Jesus used was more about the culture that binds people together and identifies them by their customs and manner of living. I would propose that […]

Humanism promotes potential. Kingdom promotes purpose. Humanism deifies determination. Kingdom disciples destiny. Immediately you begin to apply grace like gravy on mashed tators upon personal potential, you are misappropriating spiritual provision. God is not investing grace into your life so you can be whatever you want to be. Grace is making you the person God […]

The term used in Scripture for “preaching, announcing, proclaiming good news or Gospel” was appropriated as a more technical term for the preaching of the Gospel. Within that technical use is the thought of representing the Message as well as preaching it. As a follow up to how David was prepared to face giants, I […]

In the beginning, God created heavens and earth. From the emptiness and darkness, God began a process of differentiation between darkness and light, earth and sea, water above and below the atmosphere, living and non-living, birds, fish, animals, and between all things and man. Then, God made a higher differentiation in man who was created […]

Pondering how God prepares leaders for their next levels, I was awakened by a night vision in which I saw David’s arm, extended high and about to bring down Goliath’s sword in order to cut off the giant’s head. I was surprised by the thought that God doesn’t train giant-killers by having them face giants. […]

If we do not properly define “ekklesia,” we may be tearing down what Jesus is building. We may also allow the gate of hell to stand against our substitute. In the US, a greater movement is in full swing for Christians to follow Jesus but not be part of church. I fully identify with the […]

Yep, someone actually asked this question… …then, someone else actually answered it. Then, someone else said, “Yes, there are because I saw some in a revelatory experience.” Then, someone else actually said, “If you see a spirit being as a woman, she always represents something false or evil.” Then, someone else said, “No, because Jesus […]

I’ve noticed a trend in Christian television away from preaching as the mode of communication. I think that is good. Yes, I think that discovering, uncovering, producing and perfecting other ways of communicating the message of the kingdom is beneficial to our calling and commission to “disciple nations.” We should be producing excellent media presentations […]

During the ministry of Jesus, many believed on Him because of His Word and works. A period of popularity continued in which people were embracing Jesus’ ministry and leadership. Jesus says, “If you continue in My Word, you are really My disciples and you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.” […]

(See also Jesus on Raising the Dead) Jesus was a miracle worker. Consistently. With intent to manifest God’s kingdom power, He confronted the limiting factors of demons, disease, deficiency, and death. He ministered in the power of Holy Spirit. He ministered in this way because this is how things work in His kingdom; He ministered […]
