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 […]
Tipping Points, Word for 2012, Part 3
The mechanism was designed to fill the pivoted glass bird with dripping water until a certain amount of water reached a certain weight that would tip the bird and empty the contents, the empty bird would pivot back into place and the dripping would begin again. The bird would remain in place until that one […]
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 […]
Dominated by Purpose
God wants to dominate your life with His purpose. God wants to dominate your home with His purpose. God wants to dominate your city with His purpose. God wants to dominate your region with His purpose. God wants to dominate your nation with His purpose. God wants to dominate your generation with His purpose so […]
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 […]
The Political Spirit
The political spirit is the world’s system of leadership, getting power and exercising power. It is opposed to God’s system of honor. The political system functions through works of flesh, not operations of spirit. Luke 22:24-30 Influence leverage vs inspirational influence Confidence by competition vs boldness by dependence Claiming rights for authority vs submissive surrender […]
