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, […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 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 […]
