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 […]

Leviathan, Systematic Spiritual Delusion, Part 4

Step 3 – Spiritual Retribution God says He will visit the Leviathan with His sword. In other words, He will bring this Leviathan system to account with the very expectations He has for the people, place, and generation being held captive by this systematic spiritual delusion. This serpent inserted itself into God’s designs and twisted […]

Leviathan, Systematic Spiritual Delusion, Part 5

Step 4 – Spiritual Revolution Isaiah says that God has been repeating the same message over and over, but the leaders of Israel are stupid with drunkenness. They simply refuse to listen to the revelation of God’s expectations, insisting upon God speaking a different message. So, God will reset the foundation cornerstone and put a […]

Knowledge and Wisdom

In ministry, the gifts of word of knowledge and wisdom, respectively, do not always function together. Some people function well in word of knowledge who lack a corresponding function of wisdom and discernment. While the Bible doesn’t specifically say that we should pray for gifts other than prophecy and interpretation of spiritual language, activating wisdom […]
