We all work and live within the kingdom on assignment. These assignment separate us to specific mission. The assignment defines priorities and leadership in our kingdom living and serving.

Assignment Reset, Part 2
Resets always begin with “where are we?” We don’t leave things behind that God works into us between resets. When Paul and Barnabas are “separated for the work,” they are not separated from. They are separated to. Although several major resets in my life haven’t been by any means of measurement “pleasant, peaceful, or proper,” I […]
Releasing the Power of Honor
“Those who honor Me, I will honor, but those who despise Me, I will disdain,” Jesus says. God does not make honor optional. He tells us who to honor and how to honor them. A self-focused or narcissistic generation overlooks the power of honor because of a faulty value system. Honor basically means “value.” The […]
Kingdom Reset 4
In my book, The Spirit & Power of Elijah, I began to make the case for presence-driven leadership. Jesus wants to be more involved with His Church than ever before!

Understanding Honor in the Kingdom Value System
Honor means value. Honoring puts value upon something or someone, or puts value upon something in someone. Honor does not put value on everything in that person but recognizes what deserves honor in them. Avoid the exaggerations of honor that demand you ignore reality, limit accountability, and create expectations of surface slush sentimentality instead of […]
Fathering Personal Purpose
Celebrate uniqueness while fitting uniqueness into the places God’s blueprint positions it. Conformity breeds mediocrity. You think people are flourishing but they are empty inside because their passion answers to their purpose. As a kingdom leader, you can discern created destiny. Reach into the Spirit for this revelation understanding of what God created people to […]

First, let’s answer that question: Will America Survive This Autumn? Yes, but America will never be the same again.
