God’s purposes are eternal. Nothing can destroy them. The power of the Cross, the life of the Resurrection, the authority of the Ascension, and the intercession of Jesus now guarantee that the purposes of the Father will be fulfilled and He will get everything He wants. No one in heaven or earth could do that […]

Every Leader Needs Prophetic Anointing
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 […]

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.

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 […]
Alignment and Prodigals
Careful examination the prodigal’s investment of inheritance shows interesting insights into the story Jesus told about inheritance. The principles of inheritance in Luke 15, the lost and found department of the kingdom, reveal the gravity of loss and restoration that occur in spiritual inheritance between spiritual generations. Specifically, the prodigal is so named by us […]
Restoration
Alignment and Prodigals, 2
Spiritual inheritance restores to the next spiritual generation an assigned purpose. In order to fulfill this restored purpose, that generation must be transformed. The spirit and power of Elijah is a transforming mantle because it mantle for restoration. Turning the hearts of father to children and children to fathers restores spiritual inheritance. All transformation is […]
Blessing
God is a Creator and Blesser. He blesses what He creates. His blessing authorizes. His blessing empowers. His blessing positions. The Hebrew “barak” means both “to bless,” and “to kneel” to denote the disposition and profile of the one received. The sense of blessing is to invest with favor, to expand on what was set […]
