If we look at healing as “fixing something broken,” we can immediately see that healing involves contrasting conditions: broken or whole; function or dysfunction; destiny or diversion. Something needs fixing, and healing fixes it by restoring its condition and function. In Exodus 3, the water is “bitter” and the healing of the water makes them […]

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 […]

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 […]

Strategy of hell, Syndrome of Leaders You remember the slogan for the armed forces: “be all you can be, in the Army.” Well, the distraction of your destiny and purpose is found in the slogan: “be all you can’t be.” If hell cannot keep you from pursuing your destiny and purpose, hell will work to […]

God is a Creator and Blesser. He blesses what He creates. His blessing authorizes. His blessing empowers. His blessing positions. The Hebrew “barak” means both “to bless,” and “to kneel” to denote the disposition and profile of the one received. The sense of blessing is to invest with favor, to expand on what was set […]

How Jesus Deals with People Paul’s takeover experience is New Testament classic, a clear picture of how Jesus deals with people after His Resurrection. He redeems and restores.

Is it possible that we have turned blessing around the opposite of it function? Are speaking blessing to obligate God when blessing flows freely toward what God wants, not what we want? Every function of spirit sources in Christ. God never gives man the responsibility to create worship. God creates worship and man releases worship. […]

Jesus says, “Men should pray all the time and not lose heart.” It seems prayer and passion walk together. I know that many intercessors require seasons of renewal because hell is working to distract them and life presents them with burdens to bear that are not the burden of the Lord. I know this is […]

Some criticism needs to be ignored to death. No doubt about it! It is petty, unfounded, and more properly called “random opinion syndrome.” Some people just rattle on about things they know little or nothing about as if the world can’t wait for them to turn their brains inside out and dump the dust. Perhaps […]

God the Father is always there at the ultimates of your life. Finally, you deal with Him, but only after you push through the issues within you, the separation layers between you and His final word on the subject. Hebrews 5 says, “In the days of His flesh, He had offered up prayers and petitions […]
