To define kingdom, we must identify the king. Kingdom infers ruler. The rule of the king can be identified with his realm, but he can be king without a kingdom, rule without a realm. As Jesus indicates, the realm of His kingdom must be expanded and established, and the realm is measured by who or […]

A kingdom always functions on principles and protocols. The principles of God’s kingdom rest upon an agreement or covenant, or I would say, “a covenant agreement.” The terms of the covenant speak to the way the covenant operates. Kingdom leaders respond to the covenant agreement, and the covenant agreement provides a context in which the […]

The marker or plumb line is always set to Jesus, but the expansion of His building strategy comes through foundational, blueprint leaders.  […]

Leaders learn deeper submission through passion-motivated endurance. Feed passion in emerging leaders. Let passion be the motivating impetus of their leadership. Feeding passion does not produce rebellion or pride. Feeding passion without confronting rebellion and pride will result in train wreck, but passion isn’t the problem nor does passion produce the problem. Passion will help […]

Paul says, “Even we groan, having the Spirit’s first fruits as adopted sons of God while awaiting the redemption of our bodies.” Our bodies being the natural aspect of our total being that contacts the physical world and will ultimately received fuller redemption when we receive a glorified body. [Verse 23] We groan, as does […]

Isaiah 45:8 – “Distil, O heavens, and pour out your righteousness (norms of heavenly behavior). Let the earth open wide so both rescue that restores and heavenly norms can sprout up. I, the LORD, created them these norms and their restoration.” ra’aph and nazal, distil and pour out. The sense of “distill” is that the humidity turns into […]
