If your focus, as an intercessor, is the inevitability of evil instead of the assurance of overcoming victory, you will agree with hell more than Heaven. You will think the strategy for defeating any of the hellish monsters involves your own strength and wisdom. You do not have to make yourself suffer physical and emotional […]

Spiritual Shock and the Growing Pile of the Unresolved
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 […]
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 […]
Flights of Social Justice Fantasy from Luke 4
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 […]
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.

Our current language is “the business mountain” infiltration is part of the kingdom strategy to disciple nations. So, we celebrate any Christian business success when it carries a […]
Ministry and Money
Honor includes monetary investment. Honor is value. Honor is not exclusively commodified. That is, honor is not for sale, but it is worthy of offering. A kingdom leader is not for sale. He cannot be given proper monetary value. While some kingdom leaders set a price for doing a certain thing, the value of a […]
Cultural Confrontation and Kingdom Expansion
We have lost kingdom culture, and we do not know we have lost it. Daniel saw visions that revealed history from the captivity of God’s representative culture to the restoration of Messiah’s culture. The images represent actual cultures of history that are continuing to influence the world. The cultures Daniel saw in his visions influence […]
Follow or Fallow
Elijah tells Elisha that he has asked for something big if he wants to be a firstborn inheritor of Elijah’s leadership among the other prophets. He says, “If you are there when God takes me from you, you will receive it.” How many mantles lie about the world fell upon no one because the one […]
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 […]
