The motive for new translations is seldom about updating the language of the message to those that are reading it. The motive is to produce a translation that fits the doctrinal idolatry of a neo-theology. For example, one “scholar” suffering from severe intellectual dishonesty defines “ekklesia” as “a word that came to mean the [fill […]

Note: I write both in defense of revelation experiences that included appearances of people no longer alive and exposure of “Gnostic creep” in false, super-spiritual flights of fancy that misrepresent the BIble’s “how things really work in the spirit” foundation for revelatory ministry. I had a discourse and discussion in social media about the question […]

If you are preparing prophets for the office in the various specializations of prophetic personality and production, you will lead them to a prophetic preparation plateau. Prophets will remain at that point until you introduce them to a company. They will either embrace this challenge or rebel like calves at a new gate. They will […]

Healing and Wholeness We know that breaches of wholeness constantly and consistently challenge us. These are part of the experience of living in a world without wholeness. The word “shalom” is an excellent way of expressing wholeness, and the meaning of wholeness is akin to “created to be this way.” And the meaning of holy […]

A Polemic and Dialogue I read the statement three times: “Read the New Testament, and you will see that every city had one church with many house churches, with one apostle who planted churches leading the entire network.” So, I thought, “I have read the new covenant potion of the Bible for more than fifty […]

What the Five Kingdom Leaders Do The famous phrase from Paul’s discussion of kingdom leadership, “equipping the saints,” ain’t about equipping. At least, not so much. The idea that local church pastors teach people to do stuff so they aren’t doing it all – well, that is so far removed from what Paul discusses that […]

Shock Responses Physical shock occurs when your blood supply to the body shifts because of trauma. Spiritual shock occurs when spiritual supply changes because of injury to the soul. Until you resolve the unresolved, trauma, or injury governs your soul. The supplies needed for health are out of balance or prioritization. The “unresolved issues” reset […]

Ananias and Saul of Tarsus God told Ananias, a prophet, to give Saul of Tarsus a prophetic word of destiny. But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.” Ananias was concerned about a risky word. Prophesying that Saul of […]

No one has the right to put words in the mouth of Jesus or the prophets. Social justice gibberish about Luke 4 does this to the extreme. It is as bad as the misapplication and misappropriation of Matthew 25 to the homeless and illegal immigrants. At the same time, this Luke 4 error is an […]

The Bible records that Jesus and His disciples twice faced deadly storms. God did not send the storm to kill Jesus and His disciples. During the storm, God exposed their hearts in the deepest places. Some people conceptualize this as “God using the devil.” I understand that characterization and why you might use it, but […]
