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 […]
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 […]
Assignment and Alignment
Until you know your assignment, you have limitation in understanding alignment. If you base alignment on any other foundation, it is, at best, temporary, or utilitarian – that is, you use or even abuse alignment instead of submitting to alignment. While we maintain more than one alignment, given the multifaceted complexity of an international ministry […]
Elisha’s Preparation for a Mantle
Elisha reaches down and picks up an available mantle. He is in the right place at the right time. By enduring. By focused commitment to preparation. By following Elijah, he is there to be discipled by Elijah, prepared for the moment he will function. Many mistake discipling with following. Simply put, you must follow in […]
Bless; Curse Not
“Bless those that persecute you. Bless and curse not.” [Romans 12:14] First, persecution means “chasing after in order to apprehend.” A lot of the “persecution” people clamor about, ain’t persecution. Persecution is a process, not a correction or negative comment. A kingdom leader correcting you isn’t persecution! Your mother-in-law telling you how to take care […]
Sifting the Remnant
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 […]
