The Chief Cornerstone and Foundation of the Ecclesia is Jesus Christ. He laid the foundational leaders into place, setting the height, breadth, and width of the structure, setting the only point of reference for the plumb lines of spiritual construction. Yet, Paul says that the apostles and prophets were foundations for the Ecclesia and others […]

Recognizing Jezebel’s Methods
“Jezebel his wife said to Ahab (her husband and Israel’s king), Do you not govern Israel? Arise, eat food, and let your heart be happy. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.” Jezebel whispers,”Trust me. I’ll get you what you want.” She has uncanny ways of being available for people with a […]
Unity is Not Unifying: Your Place in the Ecclesia
1 – Unity in the Body derives from shared purpose. To move in oneness, the Body must be completely representative of the Head in all its spiritual systems. Unity occurs top down, not feet first. The Body cannot simply follow around the feet if it is to fulfill purpose. The Head provides all the spiritual […]
Prophesy With Maturity: Personal Disciplines
The term “discipline” describes any process or behavior that produces maturity. Self-discipline describes process or behaviors produced by strength of will. In one sense, all discipline is self-discipline even when the discipline received comes through a leader. Submission to that leadership or “following,” applies the discipline. Discipline and punishment differ in both intention and application. Discipline […]
Mini-movements Maturity
Maturing mini-movements offer structures for simple spiritual strategies that every member of the Body can understand, practice, and perpetuate. As mini-movements form, they plant both seeds of success and failure at their inceptions.

God’s Word gives us many examples of Divine strategies for moves of God with national […]
Beware Subtle Gnostic Mysticism
God is Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth. These people who worship in spirit and truth do not become God in order to achieve this level or type of worship. They do not require a superior humanity or advanced state of consciousness. They do not require a higher […]
Kingdom Leadership Dynamics, Part 1 – Kingdom
Kingdom is God’s strategy of leadership in heaven and earth. Leadership is the kingdom strategy to influence and impact history by bringing heaven’s kingdom into the earth. Discipling is Jesus’ strategy to prepare and position leaders. Fathering is the discipling strategy that invests the heaven’s spirit of leadership into kingdom leaders. Kingdom. Leaders. Discipling. Fathering. […]
Kingdom Leadership Dynamics, Part 2 – Leadership
To define kingdom, we must identify the king. Kingdom infers ruler. The rule of the king can be identified with his realm, but he can be king without a kingdom, rule without a realm. As Jesus indicates, the realm of His kingdom must be expanded and established, and the realm is measured by who or […]
