Prophets Take Big Risks

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 […]

During the Storm, Exposure Occurs

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.

Caring For Our Wounded

When we fail to care for our wounded, either by shooting them in the head or giving them a microphone before they are healed, we breach kingdom culture processes and protocols at the expense of kingdom culture principles. It does not “encourage” a wounded warrior to put him back into the battle. It is deadly […]

Original Ekklesia Was Not a House Church Movement

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 authors of this statement – I combined three authors I consider friends and noble apostles – arrived at these conclusions because we hammered […]
