Apostles and prophets see the broad picture – in different ways and from different perspectives – but they see the end result that 98% of the people do not see. While prophetic and apostolic people do experience things spiritually that allow them to catch the vision at some level, to some extent, the broader foundational […]

Abraham has a discussion with God in Genesis 18 about God decision on Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham has this discussion because God invites him into the decision-making process through which God is going to determine what to do with the sound of sin rising to heaven from these cities. In other words, God chose to […]

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.

We could, perhaps, begin with David’s enemies – the human kind – by mentioning his father. When Samuel, the prophet, shows up to anoint a king among Jesse’s sons, David is conspicuously absent from the lineup. Now, this omission might be explained as simply as David’s location was too distant for a timely response to […]

I am preaching and writing a lot about purpose. Speaking into the context of doing “great things” yet failing to fulfill purpose. I believe this is the essence of what Jesus said about the “many” that will come to the day of ultimate accounting feeling really good about their accomplishments only to discover that Jesus […]

Given the amazing level of technology available to modern man, leaders should be producing more coorespondence and written revelation. The opportunity to function in this way could hardly be avoided without conscious substitution of other priorities or a failure to recognize this discipline as a priority of leaders. Leaders should be writing. Here’s my thinking: […]

When Jesus ascended into heaven with all authority in heaven and earth, He gave His kingdom assemblies a leadership strategy that would extend what He had established to every spiritual generation thereafter. [Ephesians 4] His plan is perfect: it really works! His plan needs no improvements: it really works! His plan provides for no exceptions: […]
