If hell can’t keep me from consecration, hell will work to limit consecration in my life. Consecration requires the loss of something than God gains control of by my willing surrender–sacrifice is an example and is the most common Bible picture of consecration. The end result of consecration has to do with the use or […]

In each of the levels of FreedomMinistry, the heart is a discipline to be practiced to walk out the newly found freedom. In Level 3, Serving Leaders, that discipline is submission. The source motivation of obedience is submission. Leaders serving in kingdom culture must be more servants. They are friends of God who surrender to […]

 Apply the Supply! The Blood of Jesus moves you from darkness into light! The provision of His substitution authorizes your redemption. You can be saved from sin. You can be rescued from death.

It was 6:44 AM. I was awakened with God’s voice in my ears. He was speaking to me about the process of prophetic guidance. Isaiah 64:4 says, “Since before time began no one has ever imagined, No ear heard, no eye seen, a God like you who works for those who wait for him.” [The Message] […]
