Prophetic revelations should be written down whenever possible. Prophecy is a process. Sometimes when I am journaling what Holy Spirit is teaching me or revealing to me, I put some of the words in quotations marks because I hear them as God’s voice in dialogue. Yet, at the same time I use quotations to denote […]

The day they chose the Passover lambs, Jesus rode into Jerusalem. A children’s choir prophesied the ancient Hosanna, and the Lamb was revealed to be the King! The people had their moment of opportunity to chose the Lamb of God. When we properly behold the Lamb of God, we see that He is King, and […]

Disposition is a personality tendency, an habitual way of processing experience and responding to life. Akin to “temperament” that originally was studied with the worldview that the stars or planets had determining influence upon human behaviors. The words all have their etymological foundations in this erroneous worldview, but we now use the terms to speak […]

Most of the revelation a believer receives involves a relationship with Holy Spirit who is teaching, guiding, comforting, rebuking, and assigning. This is the majority of revelation: God sharing His secrets and being God in a believer’s life. Most specific revelation comes as part of the “assigning,” and most of that should be considered an […]

David, a great leader and champion, had a glaring personal failure with Bathsheba that involved deadly conspiracy and personal judgment for the entire nation. I believe this wound came at the time of his greatest victory of Goliath: David had an unhealed wound with women that struck his heart as a young vulnerable man because […]

Continuing some thoughts from previous posts… The contributing factors to personal purpose include: created disposition, spiritual gifts, God’s path of personal experience, assigned leadership, calling, and assignment, leading to one’s life’s work. Every aspect of this personal purpose process, however, rising to its highest level through revelation, part of the SpiritFirst lifestyle. As well, every […]

At the core of our beliefs, we embrace grace. In the consequences of embracing grace, we manifest grace through gifts. For some, the consequences of grace disappear right after they get into “unmerited favor.” On God’s part, grace has consequences that manifest every day in the ways that we function in every area of our […]

You are exceptional. Everyone else is exceptional. Exceptionalism is a mark of your created destiny and identity. Uniqueness and exceptionalism have limits, however, and should not become excuses for refusing to be accountable or justifying bad behavior and disobedience. You aren’t exceptional in the sense of being the exception to every rule. We recognize and […]

Holy Spirit grants each believer with spiritual capacities consistent with their calling and created disposition. Living the SpiritFirst lifestyle means prioritizing these capacities in every aspect of life so that the created disposition and calling upon our lives have a spiritual source of enabling capacity that taps into God’s agenda. Romans 12 gives us a […]

The giant came at David loaded for bear. He had so much paraphenalia he required some to walk with him and carry his backup weapons. He came out to roar, as he did before, but encountered David – something unusual, some kid with a shepherd’s rod, barely old enough to be shave – and he […]
