God makes kingdom leaders aware of dominant spiritual conditions in their assigned areas in ways that I call “shared spiritual experience.” In an intercessory context, you experience the spiritual condition so that you can fully recognize and understand it by personal experience. In this way, leaders can discern the difference between the influence of principalities […]

Spiritual Warfare is Always Positive
Spiritual warfare may be properly defined as “positively pursuing God’s purpose with His power, principles, and protocols.”That long definition can be summed up with the terms “positive” and “purpose.” The warfare arrives when the purpose of God runs into the positions of the enemy. That is, any warfare that pursues the enemy takes on a […]
The Forerunner Identity: Florida’s Next Step
Note “I’m offering this insight as part of the apostolic and prophetic mix of revelation God is providing Florida for the fall of 2014. It culminates a process I discern occurring for more than a decade and I would locate us in the first year of its fulfillment. I offer it with a sense that […]
The Forerunner Identity: Moving from Revival to Awakening Leadership
God wants everybody but He never starts with everybody. He starts with a remnant and remnant start with leaders. More specifically, He starts with Remnant leaders. Remnant leaders function as forerunners. To identify the next season properly, we must identify the forerunner anointing preparing the Lord a people who will be ready to respond when […]
Unequal Equality
The kingdom is filled with both inequality and equality. In some ways, all citizens share equally. In others distinctions and destinies are unequal, by human standards of measurement. The kingdom functions in abundance, so having equal shares so no one hasĀ “too much” or “has some of mine” is foreign to kingdom culture. Peter says, for […]

Honor releases anointing when releases calling which releases created destiny. Everything in the kingdom functions SpiritFirst, and anointing is spiritual power and authority.

Identify Prophets for Leadership Maturity, Part 4
No one can make a person a prophet if God has not called them to be a prophet. No amount of prophetic training will make a person who hasn’t been called a prophet into a prophet. Impossible to do. Frustrating to attempt. Dysfunctional if allowed. So, at some point, someone must identify prophets so that […]
Is Leadership Biblical?
I didn’t ask this question but a segment of the modern America church is definitely asking it, answering it without the Bible in mind, or unwittingly or intentionally applying their answer to this question to their lives. To some extent this is an overreaction to dysfunctional leadership, a discussion to which I would readily agree. […]
Spiritual Agendas
God’s kingdom operates in complex spiritual systems, like the twelve systems of the human body, and these complex spiritual systems each have a kingdom agenda. Kingdom leaders assigned to accomplish kingdom purposes prepare and position the parts of the Body to function in cooperative concert within these complex spiritual systems. The complex spiritual systems have […]
Discipling
The Discipling Norm While the term, “disciple,” is coupled with “knowing,” and the two terms speak to the concept of leadership development in the kingdom of God, Jesus is more interested in the level of commitment to which His disciples than mere instruction. Discipling is more about learning a lifestyle through shared spiritual experience than […]
