Twelve years ago God began speaking to me about the nature of revival. I immediately began writing about “the last American revival” because I had always been totally about the US in terms of ministry. I was experiencing God is new, powerful ways and interpreting these experiences in the context of my spiritual history. During […]

How to Avoid Professionalism
God gives us models to break us out of where we are and give us a new sense of what is coming next. These leaders are next step leaders, and we need them. They are God’s strategy. They are foundational. That said, such men and women of unusual spiritual power and authority should raise the […]
Taken-Over Leadership
TakeOver Leadership – Isaiah I was talking more about Joshua last week on this subject. This week I’m more focused upon Isaiah. I’ve always wondered about the experience of Isaiah because of the context in which the prophet frames that experience. “In the year King Uzziah died…” I believe this is more than a chronological […]
Obedience Without Limits
In FreedomMinistry Levels 1 and 2 we discuss how to release the power of the Cross and the power of the Spirit without limits. If hell cannot keep me from the Cross, hell will work to limit the power of the Cross in my life. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 1:17 that it is possible […]
Assignment Reset
We all work and live within the kingdom on assignment. These assignment separate us to specific mission. The assignment defines priorities and leadership in our kingdom living and serving. Fresh orders come through this matrix. Being assigned means that we enter into a larger assignment, to expand that vision. New leaders do not change the […]
Assignment Reset, Part 2
Resets always begin with “where are we?” We don’t leave things behind that God works into us between resets. When Paul and Barnabas are “separated for the work,” they are not separated from. They are separated to. Although several major resets in my life haven’t been by any means of measurement “pleasant, peaceful, or proper,” I […]
Dealing with Leviathan: A Leviathan Strategy
God authorizes apostles to represent Him through assignments and alignments. Once apostles receive assignment, God brings others into alignment with their assignments. Authority flows toward assignment–you have the authority of your assignment—aligning with apostolic assignments positions you to function in that authority as the apostle functions in his. All authority comes from the King and […]
Prophetic Self-Talk
Internal Prophetic Communication Every believer has a conversation going on inside, talking to and with themselves as the mind carries on internal dialogue. The conversation is often composed of positives and negatives, or comparisons and contrasts, as the mind analyzes thoughts, combines them into concepts, make decisions, reaches conclusions. Believers argue with themselves a way of […]
Jesus tells Simon Peter that satan has demanded to sift the entire group of disciples but He has prayed for Simon to bring restoration after the sifting is over. The process of sifting is actually positive in process and end result, but it is does involve some violent shaking to expose the distinctly different elements […]
Prophet: Prophets as Leaders
A prevailing sense of isolation among prophets and seers, produced, by erroneous interpretations and implementations of “intimacy with God”, leaves us with people operating in a vacuum who should be fully engaged in open, leadership level, public dialogue. Prophets as leaders escapes us. Some apostles even assume prophets are mouthpieces with no more responsibility than […]
