David wasn’t perfect. He was overwhelming successful because He had God’s heart for his assignment and generation, but he had extremes in terms of his aggression and anger, lapses in his leadership, and weaknesses that discredits his strengths in some situations. His “fatal” flaw was women. Not that David was a sex nut as much […]

David the Sheepherder in the Valley of Giants, Part 4
Saul sits in his tent. The squeak of the polishing cloth, his armor bearer buffing his battlefield attire, irritates him because it reminds him that he is the one a head taller than anyone else in Israel, that he is the one the people chose to fight for them, that he is the only one […]

Maturing the Prophetic, Part 3, “Extremities”
Prophets need stretching. They need to function at the extremities of their capacities in order to strengthen and stretch for expansion. Prophets, like apostles, must be risk takers.
The Pioneering Spirit, Part 2
Pioneering after Pentecost Many believers get a message of community from the conditions and behaviors they observe in the Early Church after Pentecost. That is not the message that dominates the landscape of the Ecclesia. The message that dominates the landscape screams pioneering. For example, the response of giving that is interpreted as communal is […]

Leaders Who Make Leaders
Level 4 of FreedomMinistry International is entitled, “Leaders Who Make Leaders.” I am personally leading this level at present as I continue to prepare leaders who make leaders, so I am actively involved in proving the principles to see if they produce the purpose. Fundamentally, kingdom is about leadership. And, kingdom leaders prepare and position […]
