When Alexander the Great conquered the world, he wept because there remained nothing more to conquer, and he set about to put a mark of Greek culture on every conquered land. To bring cultural influence into those nation states, he called an “apostolos” to his court and authorized him with an assignment. The apostle would […]

“God has given you leaders responsible to guide you by convincing you to obey. Submit yourselves to that leadership role. The Bible says that we should obey people positioned in God-designed leadership roles. We should obey because they convince us to follow, not because they dictate or demand. Of course, that pretty much means that […]

Even our best prophets tend to lean into the wind with an overt individualism. Allow me to quote myself, “The greatest test of a prophet may not be about the depth, detail, or development of his or her prophetic communication. The greatest test of a prophet may be his or her capacity to function in […]

Jesus says, “Lazarus, come out!” And, the dead man got up and came out of the tomb. The only Person present to release the resuscitation is the Intercessor who submits to the process of pregnancy and gives birth to a purpose. The boldness to call a dead man to life when no one else has even […]

I’ve been writing about kingdom culture and the need for it enough that people are asking what kingdom culture is. Jesus says the kingdom of God and His righteousness are to be sought after. What would you suppose “His righteousness” is? After you finish with “right standing” as your definition, consider that “righteousness” is right […]

The battle of culture is the battle of the kingdom conquest. Kingdom come. Kingdom culture. Kingdom conquest. We advance kingdom through leadership. Leadership is influence we can measure by impact. Kingdom leadership is kingdom influence. Kingdom is spiritual, so we know kingdom leadership is spiritual leadership and kingdom influence is spiritual influence. Nothing can be […]

“Those who honor Me, I will honor, but those who despise Me, I will disdain,” Jesus says. God does not make honor optional. He tells us who to honor and how to honor them. A self-focused or narcissistic generation overlooks the power of honor because of a faulty value system. Honor basically means “value.” The […]

In my book, The Spirit & Power of Elijah, I began to make the case for presence-driven leadership. Jesus wants to be more involved with His Church than ever before! His Presence is not receding or moving away; He is getting more involved in the decision-making and problem-solving than ever. He is coming to stay […]

Kingdom Culture and Ecclesia For more than 17 years, we have been fully engaged in establishing kingdom centers in strategic locations internationally. We did not plant a church because we knew that a center functions so differently from modern church-anity that people would continuously gravitate toward the existing model. Ecclesia should be built upon a […]

After getting an overload of “Biblical revelations” from people using the same Bible I read to prove otherwise, giving to God is still Biblical. We can give natural things to God. Yes, to God. In order to give God things, we give them to God’s leaders to accomplish God’s assignments in the earth. Giving to […]
