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 […]

How God Prepares You for Giants, Part 5
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 […]
Ecclesia with a Purpose
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 […]
Leaders Should Be Writing
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: […]
Maturity Comes through Leaders
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: […]
Charismatic Existentialism – “I Define Myself and Destiny”
I believe we are at a discussion point concerning how God and the Bible view destiny and purpose fulfillment and how this generation has blended humanism and existentialism into their approach and experience of personal development. Our discussion will have a focus on the end results: “having the end in mind from the beginning.” The […]
Mind Battles
“Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus.” And, “set your mind on things above.” We must distinguish between “mind” and “brain” in order to hear what the Scriptures say. This has nothing to do with inadequate understanding of peoples in Biblical times about the physiology of man. The Bible doesn’t […]
Meaning and Movements: Latter Rain and Manifested Sons
Movements create the need for meaning as the message of the movement matures. Great moves of God are interpreted by the consequences of the experiences people have during the moments of personal encounter, and these consequences are often based upon an interpretation of Scripture that seems to fit the experience. The great revival movements of […]
The Misunderstanding about Political Positions
Seems that now that the election is over the time for misunderstanding has increased instead of diminishing. Namely, a misunderstanding about support for another candidate than the one that won: opposition doesn’t mean hatred or dishonor, and mostly certainly has nothing to do with race. At least for me, it doesn’t. Nor am I one […]
Musings of a Spiritual Father
I just wanted to send an open letter from an open heart… Dear one, I saw you today and you saw me. I had just begun to raise my hand and greet you with a sincere smile and my heart-felt delight at seeing you again when you turned your head to avoid me and hurriedly […]
