Dr Don has been prophesying a season of Awakening in America for several years that would be marked by both revival and riot. The Awakening will bring holy riot to the kingdom and chaotic riot to the streets. Both aspects of this season are manifesting. Dr Don today: “A season of contrast has arrived. Strong […]

Father’s Harvest Seasons: Judgments that Process Fruit
The Seasons of the Father I wrote a chapter in The Spirit and Power of Elijah about the Father’s times and seasons to emphasize how prophetic leadership prepares the Lord a people. Every kingdom leader leads prophetically. “Prophetic leadership accurately anticipates what is coming next and prepares the Lord a people ready to respond when […]
Apostolic Shepherding, Part 1, People as Sheep
First, let us discuss the list in Ephesians 4:11, and the combination of shepherds and teachers in this instance. Some have ventured to combine teaching and shepherding into a single function, to declare the “fourfold ministry.” We know that this is not Paul’s intention, to combine teacher and shepherd into one singular function, because Paul […]
Running with the Horses
Dulled by Diversion “If running with the footmen tires you, what would you do running with the horses, Jeremiah?” God asks. He replies to the prophet’s anticipations of staggering change, turmoil, death, horror, and international adjustment. As if to say, “I didn’t show you all this revelation so you would give up, son. I showed […]
Apostolic Shepherding, Part 3, Function
Part 3, Apostolic Shepherd Function “Shepherd” function within an apostolic team, or a ministry team with apostles and prophets as a foundation for leadership follows the blueprint of the assignment in providing and protecting God’s people when and while they require shepherds.

Plowing Prayer and Preaching
There is a difference between speaking Truth and preparing people to receive Truth. We have been called to do both, and Jesus has a strategy for both. Beware the simplistic perception that all we are called to do is “faithfully” communicate Truth. Of course, we must be faithful to preach even if no one listens, […]
Maturing Our Intercession: Purpose, Preparation, and Passion
The intercessors gathered even though it was so close to Christmas. We had tried to take some time off the previous year but learned that our post could not be empty in these strategic times. We felt God urging us to maintain our PrayerMountain commitment. We prayed in the Spirit for 45 minutes or so, […]
Is “Two or Three Gathered” an Ecclesia?
No. The Ecclesia can function for a specific application of its authority with two or three kingdom citizens doing Ecclesia business, but the Ecclesia cannot be defined as “two or three gathered in His Name (or authority).” That phrase is not a misquote but the assumption that it defines “ekklesia” is a misapplication of the […]
Leadership Tests
Testing leaders mirrors God’s strategy for advancing leaders. God tests leaders. Leaders test leaders the leaders they father. Discipling tests measure progress in ways appearances cannot. Paul certainly engaged in this practice with his emerging leaders, learning from Jesus the practice of testing disciples on their leadership maturity. First, set a baseline of behavior and […]
Jacob’s Identity Crisis at Jabbok
Jacob arrives at Jabbok to face the source of his fear and guilt. Jacob has a prophetic promise to be the inheritor of Abraham’s covenant with God. He has the right to the covenant with God, but he will be prepared as an inheritor at Jabbok. Jabbok means “emptying out.” It is a brook that […]
