The Kingdom of God is a spiritual reality, and this reality is based upon leadership: God’s leadership. God’s leadership is evidenced by Creation itself. Jesus accepted responsibility and received authority to Create all things. Both Colossians and Hebrews make it clear that Jesus is the Agent of the Godhead in creating all and is fully […]

[The examples I use in this blog are not of people who live in my current home town or are part of my current ministry leadership. Of course, they may resemble some people that are, so I say this up front – they are not. The stories represent hundreds like them. I’m referring to patterns […]

We are in a season of maturing the apostolic and prophetic foundations that Jesus has restored to the kingdom. We’ve invested a lot of energy in the discussion and defense of the restoration, and now we must turn our attention and invest in maturing what has been restored. This maturing process is absolutely necessary, not […]

The mandated assignment of the Ecclesia always and fully functions as part of the kingdom of God, under His power, protocols, and Personal involvement. This is the way the King rules and the Head governs, a seamless symmetry of His rule. “The way things work” in the kingdom and “the way things work” in the […]

Steve Hill, the evangelist for the Brownsville Revival, still loves to hear Lindell Cooley sing, “Creation Calls,” a song we heard often throughout the revival.

This often sets up the […]

Jesus says, “It is more blessed to give than receive” because receiving is a blessing. Giving is more blessed than receiving. Giving takes receiving up a notch and pushes through […]

God is love. Love is a trait of His character; so when His Glory is manifested, passionate love is revealed. What we often referred to God’s fire is often a manifestation of His passionate love. God is love. God is a consuming fire. His passionate love will burn up anything foreign to what He loves, […]

Not everyone is a pioneer. Some settlers are required; in fact, many more settlers are required than pioneers. God has created plenty of settlers, salt of the earth people who expand vision once it is established. Pioneers are originators. Consider the information we have about Elijah’s schools for prophets. Elisha carried on this originated model, […]

Both basar and tobe are used in Hebrew to speak of announcing good news or reports of victory. [See both together in 1 Kings 1:42.] A messenger is sent, a runner, to give the report of the battle or war, and his report of good news declares some portion of the victory. The messenger can […]
