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 […]
King Jesus, Here and Now
The concept, “Jesus will be King someday,” does not fit the kingdom of God. It is a reality here and now, so the kingdom leader cannot operate outside total submission to the King and His kingdom here and now. Most evangelical believers will reject this statement immediately in favor of an exaggeration of the “I […]
In the Seven Years of Plenty, 2016-17
Wealth of the Wicked Stored Up Isaiah pictures what is available in the atmosphere as rain in ways that help us understand how God changes the conditions to release. A desert atmosphere contains a reservoir but the conditions distribute the moisture so randomly that it seldom produces rain. Water is available but the conditions don’t […]
Prophetic Word, 2017, The New Era of Pioneering
Representation Anticipating this Era, a revelation of kingdom leadership dynamics brings emphasis to ministry of Jesus. Kingdom on earth represents kingdom in heaven.

Identity: Ministry, Marriage, and Family
An observable pattern in ministry often reveals a pathology in the leaders: many ministry marriages and families fail to the point of discrediting or destroying ministry, and many ministry leaders ignore the more important and fundamental foundations upon which kingdom leadership rests. For example, a preponderance of leaders who find identity in ministry undermine the […]
Mercy as Opportunity
We are in alignment with Dutch Sheets for the United States of America. He has shared extensively the revelation he is carrying about mercy: “mercy is our new currency.” As I heard him share this insight and decree the coinage, Holy Spirit convinced me of the nature of our mercy as opportunity season. Since then, […]
Blueprint Leadership: Executing God’s Strategies
The Blueprint Room I once visited a construction company’s offices to review blueprints, and the company had an entire room dedicated to blueprint storage. Large-drawered cabinets dominated the room, clearly marked, collecting a vast museum of proposed and previously constructed building projects. The person I was with went to a drawer and lifted a set […]
