Among the gifts given by Holy Spirit, one is given special attention by Scripture, emphasized as a gift of the Spirit to be pursued, a gift valued by its capacity to build, encourage, and embolden the people of God. The gift of prophecy. Paul makes some really strong statements with regard to this enabling capacity […]

Leadership – Disappointments and Distortions
Another leader is being revealed as a fraud with a fatal flaw. A lack of true accountability kept it hidden. The failure is broader than one person. And, the enemy will attempt to establish a lie that all leaders are frauds, lack true accountability, and have hidden fatal flaws. Why? To further erode honor. This […]
Strategy to Crossover
God’s strategy to leave Egypt is not the same as His strategy to prepare for inheritance. The strategy for entering into inheritance is different from the strategy of preparation for inheritance. God preserves inheritance for a faithful generation who pass the tests of preparation in the desert, the tests of growing and maturing that reveal […]
Preparation for a Mantle
Elisha reaches down and picks up an available mantle. He is in the right place at the right time. By enduring. By focused commitment to preparation. By following Elijah, he is there to be discipled by Elijah, prepared for the moment he will function. Many mistake discipling with following. Simply put, you must follow in […]
A Father’s Vulnerability
I have been writing that the prodigal son’s father was dysfunctional for giving him inheritance when he was not ready. I maintain that sentiment, but I do want to mention the reason such a poor decision could occur. Good fathers are easily taken advantage of. The vulnerability of a good father is his tendency to […]

Elisha’s Preparation For Elijah’s Mantle
Elisha reaches down and picks up an available mantle. He is in the right place at the right time. By enduring. By focused commitment to preparation. By following Elijah, he is there to be discipled by Elijah, prepared for the moment he will function. Many mistake discipling with following. Simply put, you must follow in […]
Functioning as a Child
Jesus makes a strong point, illustrated with sitting an actual child beside Him, about grown people “becoming childlike” in order to experience the kingdom of heaven. The occasion affords us some insight into the revelation. The disciples were reluctant to have children “interfere with important matters,” parents were bringing them to Jesus so He would […]
Ecclesia: Original Design
Jesus used this Greek term, ekklesia, [Greek word] in describing what He was building. He builds it on the Father’s revelation that He is the Son of God. That is, ecclesia [English word] is built upon the revelation of Jesus as God’s Son. The testimony of Jesus is the prophetic spirit: Who He is prophesies […]
