If we look at healing as “fixing something broken,” we can immediately see that healing involves contrasting conditions: broken or whole; function or dysfunction; destiny or diversion. Something needs fixing, and healing fixes it by restoring its condition and function. In Exodus 3, the water is “bitter” and the healing of the water makes them […]

Bloodline
Bloodline One facet of meaning for the term “bloodline” has to do with the linage of physical inheritance and the mysterious way that God utilizes genetics to produce unique individuals. Both the unique individual and unique inheritance flow from this bloodline. Jesus has the most unique bloodline of all! All Divine. All human. He inherits […]
Leadership Function
We often use the phrase “lack of leadership” to describe poor leadership, but the reality is that we haven’t actually lost our leadership as much as we have lost the proper functions of leadership. Poor leadership and no leadership are obviously not the same condition. What’s “poor” isn’t the absence of leaders, a very undesirable […]
Religion’s Substitutes
Busy Doings Good doings substituted for original destinies – good stuff being the meat and drink of religion – infiltrates the saints through waterways of disappointment and deception, flowing into harbors of contentment and comfort created by religious institutions.

The political spirit as a leadership strategy has infiltrated the kingdom, opposing revolutionary revival, wrestling […]
Next-Level Leadership Limitations
False Expectations False expectations often source from pride, and pride touches us when we have no particularly good reason to be proud! Paul says not to give a novice leadership because he isn’t ready to face this battle with pride. While I’ve certainly seen achievers and leaders with pride issues, pride isn’t a battle only […]
The New Accountability Controversy
A new controversy over accountability has arisen in the Body. It is the latest edition of a discussion and dialogue as old as Eden. Man was positioned over creation with authority and responsibility for which he was naturally, spiritually, and eternally accountable. hell challenged man on the basis of his accountability to God and launches […]
911
Spent some time in prayer during the night, during the lunar eclipse, but rested as morning was coming on. Then, at 9:11 AM, God spoke to me, “They are planning another 911. Multiple cities. Multiple nations. Multiple sites.” Immediately I heard Him say, “Psalm 91:1.” We know this Scripture well, “He that spends his days […]
