Origination is fundamental to leadership. Kingdom leaders originate “kingdom” by establishing something spiritual in the natural world. In striking contrast to leadership when defined from the natural viewpoint, leadership in God’s kingdom is first spiritual since God is the ultimate Leader and the King in “kingdom” is spiritually motivated. Every person born is created. Leadership is […]

Jesus says, “Men should pray all the time and not lose heart.” It seems prayer and passion walk together. I know that many intercessors require seasons of renewal because hell is working to distract them and life presents them with burdens to bear that are not the burden of the Lord. I know this is […]

During the transition days of Samuel, God began to deal with His remnant people in a new way. He introduced kingdom leadership to Israel through Saul and David—but oh, what a contrast between the spirit of leadership in Saul and David! Today, the same transition is occurring within the Body of Christ in the New […]

God the Father is always there at the ultimates of your life. Finally, you deal with Him, but only after you push through the issues within you, the separation layers between you and His final word on the subject. Hebrews 5 says, “In the days of His flesh, He had offered up prayers and petitions […]

Ephesians reveals Jesus’ operational strategy for His Body, or “ekklesia,” poorly translated “church” (the word “church” is a word for a building or structure, but the word “ekklesia” means “called together for a purpose.”) By the time he gets to chapter 4, Paul is discussing the transition from Jesus on earth establishing kingdom to Jesus […]

The Bible reveals how God deals with man: nations, generations, individuals, the ekklesia, etc. In this revelation we can learn to recognize the patterns of heavenly leadership and respond quickly and boldly to what God is up to in our generation. The strategic design of the kingdom assumes strategic leadership, and God is continually moving […]

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 […]

This is a follow-up to a previous post about the Judas spirit. Jesus is revealing and dealing with the Judas spirit within the Body. This is a foundational to the resurgence of the Acts of Holy Spirit season we are in. As the Book of Acts opens, the leaders receive a forty-day crash course in […]
