Subcultures mar, distort, and limit the full expression and desired, ultimate condition of God’s kingdom on Earth. Thus, while we can, with certainty, say God isn’t destroying the cultures of nations He founds, desires, and redeems, we can also say that cultures in restoration suffer from subcultural divisions foreign to God’s intended outcome.

Living Fearless
The Spirit of Fear Paul reveals the spirit of fear to us in his letter to Timothy. It is the spirit of cowardice. While phobos is the common Greek word for fear and a deadly foe, the spirit of cowardice contrasts with power, love, and a healthy mind. For God has not furnished or bestowed […]
Avoiding Prophetic Intimidation in Prophetic Training
Elijah threw his mantle on Elisha to prophesy that he would become one of his inheritors, operate by shared spiritual experience in his anointing, and begin preparation for leadership. The double portion was a guaranteed thing at that point. When the mantle fell upon Elisha, the young prophet-in-process experienced something of Elijah’s spirit and power. […]
I Never Knew You
Not for One Moment Did I Notice “Saying ‘Lord, Lord,’ isn’t going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience that produces what my Father wants.

Father’s Revelation as Satan’s Conclusion
Pure Heavenly Revelation Simon Peter receives a revelation from the Father. “Simon, flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven.” Simon’s revelation arrives pure, authentic, and powerful enough to become a foundation for the most important remarks of Jesus on Ekklesia, kingdom, kingdom authority, and spiritual warfare. […]
Glory, God’s Normal
“No man has seen God at any time,” John writes. “We beheld His Glory as an only begotten of a father,” John writes. “Some of you standing here will see the Son of Man arriving in the Glory of His Kingdom,” John records Jesus saying. An extremely popular writer says that Glory reveals the fullness […]
