In FreedomMinistry International, we often observe that human behaviors show patterns and that patterns produce cycles of behaviors. These behavior cycles are predicable in the sense that we can observe that a new cycle is beginning or to some extent where a person is in the observable cycle. Breaking cycles of behavior are basic to […]

By “latter rain” I mean that the best is saved for last. I mean that the prophetic picture of a harvest rain falling that brings what was planted and watered by early rains to a fuller harvest by a latter rain applies to the present circumstances of the kingdom of God. The rain that fell […]

Home base is fundamental to kingdom. God establishes “home base” as part of His strategy for establishing and expanding kingdom. He chooses places, cities, regions, and nations to house remnants. Home base is strategic. David in exile is given Ziklag by his request, and Ziklag remained a kingdom location ever after. “Then Achish gave David […]

Taking the Giant’s Head “Finishing the job” in terms of spiritual ‘execution’ is a hallmark of David’s leadership and the glaring inadequacy of Saul’s. David had a greater understanding of protecting the sheep than merely defending them from disaster; he wouldn’t even allow the loss of one little lamb. He didn’t drive the bear and […]

God prepares you for a new weapon by having you perfect your expertise with the weapon you have in your hands. In the same thought profile as “God doesn’t prepare you for giants by having you face giants,” God doesn’t prepare you to swing a sword by swinging a sword. Practice for basketball was confusing […]

Personally, I see the beginning of this problem with Saul breaking his promise to David, and perhaps breaking David’s heart. […]

The fundamental motivation of the believer’s life must be “the will of God,” or the what-God-wants experienced through revelation from God. Some discussion has been given for many generations to the question of whether any motivation outside this fundamental motivation is spiritually healthy, proper, or acceptable, but no one with a serious understanding of the Scriptures would […]

Jesus describes the kingdom with a picture story of the sower planting his field. He mentions four types of soil that will receive the sown seed. The seed sown is the Word of God, always full of life and the potential of spiritual power, but the soil type determines how or whether or not that […]

Revival and Riot I have been saying for five years that we are going to see revival and riot in America. Sometimes one will occur because of the other, or one will happen at the same time as the other. The contrast between light and darkness is more pronounced; the divisions are stronger in our […]

We are entering a rebuilding David’s Tent season of worship/intercession. This intercession and worship occurs in a way that we cannot tell the difference between the two. This is the revelation of intercession – by experiencing the revelation more than seeing or hearing it – that moves us beyond our limitations so Holy Spirit can […]
