In Dr Don’s message on “God’s Enabling Capacities for Warfare,” he experienced several moments of apostolic release that seem like a birthing of revelation. In these moments, one of the principle spiritual conditions that he wrestled to the ground relates to limitations to revival’s greater expansion in our nation. “For several years, people of spiritual […]

Consider the terms “discipline” and “repentance.” Neither is part of a “fun package” from Disney. Both concepts remain fundamentals of kingdom discipling and personal transformation. Discipline The term speaks to behavior based upon strength of will. The Greek word derives from the process of character and behavior development associated with growth and maturity of children. […]

Jesus leaves earth, and He bestows five different kinds of leaders upon the kingdom that function to prepare and position the members of His Ecclesia. Paul uses the body metaphor to explain how these leadership dynamics function, the measurement of success we should use, […]

There is a difference between speaking Truth and preparing people to receive Truth. We have been called to do both, and Jesus has a strategy for both. Beware the simplistic perception that all we are called to do is “faithfully” communicate Truth. Of course, we must be faithful to preach even if no one listens, […]
