Elijah made a major life decision with a false prophecy. He prophesied to himself. He believed in the prophecy. He acted upon the prophecy. He attempted to make the prophecy come to pass. It was a false prophecy. Elijah prophesied to himself: “I am the only one.” This false prophecy led him to jump to false […]

Stop Wasting Inheritance
Malachi says joining a generation comes by turning hearts of fathers to inheritors and the hearts of inheritors to fathers. This breaks limitation off the inheritance. The land is the inheritance. The curse is the limitation. Joining a generation has nothing to do with preparing a successor. We do not prepare and position a successor. […]
Fathers Produce Endurance
Fathers Produce Strength of Will Hebrews 12 presupposes three fathering leaders: Father in Heaven, natural fathers, and spiritual fathers. The chapter addresses natural and spiritual fathers and those for whom they provide fathering leadership. It compares Father’s approach to maturing inheritors with physical and spiritual fathers. It sets Father’s discipline as the context for natural and […]
A Hero Generation: Fathers and Millennials
We heard a thought-provoking and prophetic message from Hannah Sheets at the NEI Conference in Colorado Springs. The meeting is part of the Appeal to Heaven series. The next Appeal to Heaven Conference is in Chattanooga, TN October 11-13, 2018. (For more information go to www.dutchsheets.org.) Hannah discussed Millennials within a context of generational studies […]
False Honor and Kingdom Culture
I have been preaching and teaching Biblical honor for two decades. I have written about it. I have taught it in FreedomMinistry International to hundreds of thousands of people. That’s a context for this post. By combining three different stories, let me share how satan empties a Bible idea of its meaning. First, with distraction […]
Primary Passion: Brasil on the Brink
Brasil, let us now measure our passion for purpose. Has success in kingdom expansion distracted you from the priorities of God? Have you become focused upon your part of the purpose of God? Have you have failed to expand your passion for purpose? When Jesus confronts Ephesus Ecclesia in the Revelation, He says, “You have left […]
The Shepherding Movement is Over
Fathering Sons, not Sheep The shepherding movement was never a fathering movement that went awry. It was an exaggeration of coaching. It sought to usurp personal responsibility by removing personal authority. The idea only makes sense when you lead sheep. Fathers prepare and position inheritors. Sheep is a behavior, not a condition. Some people will […]
The “We Know” of Intercession
Blueprinting is Divine. While God appears spur of the moment, His eternal planning produces the manifestation we see and hear. Nothing attracts Glory like purpose. God has intentions. He is not fickle enough to respond or react. He is a God purpose. Romans 8:28 speaks of purpose and passion. We read it like a comforting […]
The Revival Cruise and Theme Park Fantasy
If you attend “revival” and it is not a move of God in real life, it is not going to change a generation. If it sustainable only as an attraction, it will sell its soul to be a conference center instead of a Kingdom Center. It will contain several popular rides. It will provide some […]
Birthing Purpose
Purpose When we speak of purpose, we begin with the Father. He originates all purposes. All that exists, including Jesus as His Son and Holy Spirit in us, begin with Father. He sent Jesus. He sent Holy Spirit. So, in this sense, even God Himself operates in protocols of purpose. Jesus accepted responsibility to Create […]
