FreedomMinistry Level 1, Session 2 of the Concentrate

Tonight, we will focus attention on the heartbeat of FreedomMinistry, “The Discipline of Repentance,” and strengthen our wills to make surrender decisions that release the grace of the Cross into our lives. When repentance becomes a discipline, we are walking a path of personal transformation, trusting spiritual power and authority available from God, and making […]

A Word to Prophets on “Internalizing”

Prophets are targets of spiritual information, but they are supposed to become rivers, not reservoirs. The information is usually not for them personally. So when prophets or prophetic people internalize information that is not for them personally, they take on responsibility and attempt fill roles they are not graced or gifted to take on. Elijah, […]

A Word to Prophets: Internalizing the Bible, Part 2

My previous discussion focused a great deal upon the negatives of prophetic dysfunction, perhaps better labeled “pitfalls of internalizing,” especially addressed to prophets. Prophets have their unique spiritual, kingdom function and position, and the term “internalize” has unique application according to the discipline in which it is used. There are very few sources of discussion […]

A Word for Prophets: Internalizing Personal Revelation, Part 3

“He will teach you” is the most basic revelatory experience: being in the School of the Spirit. No matter how mature or infantile the believer, each of us is enrolled in this revelatory experience. God is actively, personally, and intimately involved in our lives! The process of receiving a renewed mind and implementing His guidance […]

US Election 2012

Musing about this election remain difficult merely because of the overwhelming amount of information thrown at us. Cutting out the nearly obvious lies is not so hard. Pruning off the repeated perception-building propaganda is a bit more difficult. Narrowing focus upon probable criteria a major challenge. Add to that the startling reality of what actually […]

Immediately you begin to apply grace like gravy on mashed tators upon personal potential, you are misappropriating spiritual provision. God is not investing grace into your life so you can be whatever you want to be. Grace is making you the person God […]

Culture and Behavior: Great Commission Discipling

Jesus’ command for His kingdom representatives: “Go and wherever you go, disciple the cultures.” While there are other words for “people” and “political” that identify people-groups and nations, the term Jesus used was more about the culture that binds people together and identifies them by their customs and manner of living. I would propose that […]

The Flip Side of Abusive Leaders

The Flip Side of Abuse During the several decades I have observed church-anity and ecclesia, I have seen as much abuse of leaders as I have abuse by leaders. I have observed some really strange abuse by leaders, for sure, even to the point of leaders drawing blood on a person’s cheek, grasping both cheeks […]

Honor Your Father

The first commandment with a promise: “honor.” Since I want all God has promised, I need to be very familiar with the concept of honor! His very first covenant promise comes to me through honor, honoring the strategy and design of God for my life and God’s design for kingdom culture. When God shared with […]
