You cannot curse the wounded altars if you wish to rebuild them and offer upon them the sacrifice that calls down God’s fire. Recall how Elijah repaired the broken altar on Mount Carmel, “The altar of the Lord that was broken down.” The Hebrew is “rapha,” and depicted Elijah’s repairs as “healing and wholeness.” The […]

Just heard this week that a friend is getting married. Also heard of another friend who is pregnant. Then, talked with someone who is getting out of debt and experiencing some real financial breakthrough. Years ago, each of these people received prophetic words that promised what they are experiencing. Each of them experienced seasons when […]

I’ve always had a hesitant about the adjective, “supernatural.” I have always felt like the word was implying that “natural” was the norm, the frame of reference, the “way things really are.” That is simply untrue. Of course, the term is not a bad word. I’m just referring to the background noise I have when […]

We have lived through back-to-back-to-back decades of sweeping changes that have carried us into a decade of implementation. In 2012 the changes will be comparably subtle, but little changes will have massive impact on the implementation of sweeping revolution.

The use of Jesus’ term, a Greek word that Jesus and writers of the Gospels and Paul used in an unique way, has received a narrow treatment of meaning. The spectrum of meaning and application has been narrowed, in fact, so much that we have lost some of the unique meaning that Jesus assigned to […]

The first words of the New Testament initialize the Gospel by sourcing Jesus to His generations: “Abraham was the father of Isaac.” Jesus became the God-man who could say, “Father is My father, and Abraham is My father, and David is My father.” At the same time, He could say, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” […]

We all wear masks. We hide some things on purpose. I mean, we hide things for a good reason, because we aren’t totally real with everybody. We can only reveal everything to someone with whom we have covenant. The deeper the covenant, the more real we can be. Our deepest covenant is with God, so […]
