Scriptures is prophetic communication. It has layers. All Scripture has primary interpretation, prophetic revelation, and practical application. I have noticed a trend in those given to the prophetic side of things: they seldom countenance the primary interpretation at all and often miss the practical application. Since prophetic people scrapbook prophetic experiences, they are […]

The Mountain of the Lord
The mountain of the Lord is a higher place. It is spiritual. It is higher in the spiritual. The “heavenlies,” where He dwells, touches Earth as a Way. The way of the Lord leads to the heights of the spirit. The heights of the spirit are a climb, though sometimes He carries us up… The […]
The Practical Prophetic
Scripture is prophetic communication. All Scripture comes by human beings partnering with the revealing God. The uniqueness the revelation process that produced the Bible does not empty it of prophetic function. It is unlike any other prophetic revelation process. Nothing in our present prophetic process approaches It. The Bible is a complete Book. No […]
The Mountain of the Lord: Kingdom Culture
The mountain of the Lord refers to the culture of the kingdom of God on Earth. We refer to mountains of influence within a culture. The mountain of the Lord is the kingdom culture. The mountain of the Lord is not “one of the mountains.” It is the mountain. The influence of kingdom culture dominates […]
The Graduates
In this vision, I am on my way to a graduation. The graduation is unlike anything I’ve seen before. No mortar hats and gowns from Druid and Masonic influences upon the measurement of educational achievement were visible. (I offer this without condemnation of present practices, but include it to be true to the vision.) The […]

The Consumer Model A fathering model for modern church consumers begins with “What do I want?” The children then design and define relational dynamics based upon perceived needs. Fathers written into the script of potential receive no honor in this scenario. They redefine honor to fit the script. Honor simply means, “I will give you […]
A Word for Pioneers
You are walking through a mine field, you must trust that the field is Mine. The field is Mine, and the field has mines. The pathway to the mines filled with ore, are filled with mines set by the enemy who claims those resources. The field is Mine, and the mines are Mine. You are […]
Regional Ecclesia: Introduction to “Regional Ecclesia Manifesto”
Regional? So, why “regional Ecclesia?” While a great deal of discussion has been given to city church, and some pretty definitive statements made about what the Bible recognizes as a “Ecclesia,” we return to the same premise: What does that word mean in the mouth of the person speaking it or writing it? Because the […]
Legitimate Ecclesia Leadership
Kingdom Come! The kingdom is organized and ordered by the King. He has blueprints for building. He has schematics for body building. He designs the bride’s adornment. The motivation and licensure for most ministries is illegitimate. The blueprints do not call for this design. Leaders build outhouses that have not site preparation in […]
Kingdom Culture, not Community
In kingdom culture, the relationships are already designed and defined by God. The roles of leadership in those relationships have clearly designed and defined responsibilities that also clarify the authority of the leaders. To restore kingdom leadership dynamics, we restore kingdom. To restore kingdom as the operational basis for these leadership dynamics, we restore kingdom […]
