“Jezebel his wife said to Ahab (her husband and Israel’s king), Do you not govern Israel? Arise, eat food, and let your heart be happy. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.” Jezebel whispers, “Trust me. I’ll get you what you want.” She has uncanny ways of being available for people with […]

Rediscovering the lost art of discipling will reset kingdom leadership in remarkable and powerful ways! Many assume the term “disciple” means “follower.” It does not. Jesus did call people to follow Him so they could be discipled, because a person cannot be discipled when they do not follow. Many assume the term “disciple” means “student.” […]

You wrestle, contest, and fight, like an athlete in a bout or a warrior in a battle. Your face your opponent at every step, turn, and meter of the race. Your opponent is sin. Father’s response to your struggle with sin is discipline – not punishment for the fact that sin surrounds you and you […]

The term “discipline” describes any process or behavior that produces maturity. Self-discipline describes process or behaviors produced by strength of will. In one sense, all discipline is self-discipline even when the discipline received comes through a leader. Submission to that leadership or “following,” applies the discipline.

We need some blueprint leaders in America! We need foundational leaders in our nation! We need someone who can step up to another level and bring a kingdom schematic to the mini-movements that will produce something we can build on. While it is certain that we have blueprints leaders, the blueprints they possess for mini-movements […]

Maturing mini-movements offer structures for simple spiritual strategies that every member of the Body can understand, practice, and perpetuate. As mini-movements form, they plant both seeds of success and failure at their inceptions. Maintaining a strategic focus upon what produces “success,” with an equal vigilance toward minimizing “failures,” challenges all leaders, and has particular bearing […]

To realize the highest unity, we often sacrifice the very reason why we seek it. Kingdom has purpose and strategy as a basis for unity. We need to pursue kingdom unity.  To do so, we must being with kingdom. We see unity in the Upper Room. Unless we are careful in our thinking, we assume […]

When we read the story of Jesus and His disciples, we observe personal passion in conflict with Divine purpose. Jesus calls the disciples to join in His assignment, but they continue to measure their involvement in His assignment in terms of “what’s in it for me?” This is the Judas spirit in action, a spiritual […]
