Not Many Fathers, Part 2

“Many teachers but not many fathers…” Fathers speak of origination, inheritance, DNA, and trans-generational purpose. Fathers properly produce through covenant. Father develop inheritors from true sons and daughters. Destiny discovery and fulfillment is one of the most vital and personal purposes of a fathering strategy. God designed destiny fulfillment with a fathering dynamic: “Train up […]

Not Many Fathers, Part 3

Fathers originate. Fathers provide leadership for what they originate. If we define “leadership” as “influence,” then fathers influence what they originate. Fathering, as God designed it, cannot be separated from any of the institutions of society without a personal, spiritual, and cultural breakdown. The Greek word for “family” is a variation of the word, “father.” […]

Specific Prayer Ministry

Many of our most important activities are ceremonial or programmed. That is, some things are so important that we tend to preplan them down to a word-by-word, moment-by-moment progression.

Maturing the Apostolic and Prophetic

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 […]

Calling

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. I hear that theme in this prophetic sense: the call is invested in the creation. The “creation call” is the sound of purpose invested into whatever Jesus creates. That is, […]

Specific Prayer Ministry, Spiritual Gift Capacities

The best way to minister SpiritFirst involves spiritual gift capacities as the primary means of determining strategy. Once we set the goal of operating and functioning by spiritual authority and power, we surrender to the work of Holy Spirit most easily through the spiritual gift capacities He has given us. This often sets up the […]
