Careful examination the prodigal’s investment of inheritance shows interesting insights into the story Jesus told about inheritance. The principles of inheritance in Luke 15, the lost and found department of the kingdom, reveal the gravity of loss and restoration that occur in spiritual inheritance between spiritual generations.

Spiritual inheritance restores to the next spiritual generation an assigned purpose. In order to fulfill this restored purpose, that generation must be transformed. The spirit and power of Elijah is a transforming mantle because it mantle for restoration. Turning the hearts of father to children and children to fathers restores spiritual inheritance.

Kingdom Gospel
The Gospel is more than a history of events, the facts of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection Glory.

Kingdom Champions Focus on Purpose
Meeting with precious people engaged in preparation for destiny is one of my primary pursuits. This is one of my priorities because of my own destiny.

Time to Tarry?

To be a takeover leader, you must be taken-over. Something bigger than you, outside of you, must take over your highest values, deepest trust, and strongest motivations. You are giving your life to what is highest, and locating your values and valuables in what you love. The first choices of life are matters of the […]
Leadership Function
We often use the phrase “lack of leadership” to describe poor leadership, but the reality is that we haven’t actually lost our leadership as much as we have lost the proper functions of leadership. Poor leadership and no leadership are obviously not the same condition. What’s “poor” isn’t the absence of leaders, a very undesirable […]
