I am completely sold on the idea that in the fullness of time by the fullness of Spirit, we are going to experience the fullness of the Ecclesia. Sold. Period. Too late to convince me of some neo-cessationism or “the last apostle died and Jesus quit doing anything supernatural.” I have looked at there isn’t […]

Previous spiritual generations have walked us through conflicts and clashes about the power of the Spirit, the authority of the Scriptures, the fundamentals of doctrine, the Providence of God. We are presently walking through clarifications about the original design and definition of “church.” Rifts dating back hundreds of years are being examined, and the very […]

Note that David enters the valley of the giant equipped with a shepherd’s stick, bag, and sling. While we often make a pretty big deal about this because it plays into the “david vs goliath” scenario that has become a cliche, the reality is that David enters the valley of the giant with “what brung […]

Jesus heals and puts you back where you would have been had the trauma not occurred through an accelerated process of restoration. Trauma comes in many ways and is experienced differently by individuals. The root word is Greek, trauma, and denotes bruising, wounding, the affects of physical force upon the body. The Good Samaritan story […]

Defining terms, the “maturing” of ministry would involve moving it closer to its highest expression, effectiveness, and efficiency of design and intended purpose. Maturing moves us to a higher level of success when we define “success” by what the prophetic was design and bestowed upon the kingdom to provide in terms of leadership, revelation, and […]

God is showing off the preparation of David, not the giant; but Saul the king like the other nations, sees war with the eyes of the world: “You can’t face the giant because he has been preparing for battle for years.

If we were able to bring every person into a born again spiritual birth, the work of the Ecclesia wouldn’t be finished. Of course, evangels and people with a strong passion for winning souls tend to see this as the first or exclusive passion. Yet, this isn’t the premier or primary passion of Jesus but […]

Daniel functioned in wisdom. Paul speaks wisdom, a manner of communication: as Jesus says, “I speak to them in parables,” so Paul says, “I speak to the mature in wisdom.” The wisdom is, of course, from above, heavenly in origin, revelatory in distribution, and received by those with spiritual and functional maturity. Paul preaches the […]

David finds smooth stones in the valley. He carries none with him in the shepherd’s bag. Perhaps he didn’t anticipate the valley – it appears that he didn’t even know whole giant-defies-Israel scenario was going on when his father sent him to feed his critical brothers. He carried what a shepherd would carry but didn’t […]

Anger and Passion To understand God’s anger – or to understand anger as God’s talks about it – we must address motive and intention. God is angry but is never angry with the wrong heart about it because His intentions and passionate desires are always just, right, good, and holy. God is not selfish as […]
