Blessing is so kingdom! So New Testament! So powerful! So Jesus! Jesus blessed and cursed. Blessing repositions the blessed in the crosshairs of the target of blessing, a place where curse is broken, where limitation is broken down and broken through.

Recently I ran into a friend waiting tables at an upscale, white-tablecloth restaurant. She had waited on me many times at a local cafe, a hole-in-the-wall that had great fish where I would go to get away and write…anyway, that little cafe closed, so she landed this new job at a high-end establishment. Relating the […]

God dwells with His people as an oasis in the desert. God is not concerned about moving His people into a wilderness because He intends to go with them and bless them!

You will be hilariously surprised when you discover what Jesus designed for you in kingdom leadership. Since I really believe the Scriptures and really reveal God so I can recognize His immediate involvement in life on earth, I really believe Jesus bestowed five functions and foundations of leadership upon His called together assembly, the Body […]

Without passion for dying we lack passion for living. The passion of the Christ is for dying, being poured out like wine, broken like bread, a burning desire to finish His assignment, an assignment that costs Him everything in order to gain everything. He is pushed to the limit, and His passion for what Father’s […]

Protocols serve as guidelines for an agreement, treaty, or covenant. Their describe behaviors, ways of interacting, doing business, and communicating. The protocols perserve the agreement and are based upon a good understanding of the relationship between parties. Protocols are a way of behaving consistent with an agreement. God has protocols for His kingdom culture, ways […]

“The earth is the Lord’s – all of it! The world and the people – all of them!” God claims the natural resources and human resources. Of course, all spiritual resources of the kingdom comes from God. Jesus is Source and Resource, the Author and Finisher, of our faith. Spiritual resources pass to spiritual generations. […]
