Tonight, we will focus attention on the heartbeat of FreedomMinistry, “The Discipline of Repentance,” and strengthen our wills to make surrender decisions that release the grace of the Cross into our lives. When repentance becomes a discipline, we are walking a path of personal transformation, trusting spiritual power and authority available from God, and making […]

My previous discussion focused a great deal upon the negatives of prophetic dysfunction, perhaps better labeled “pitfalls of internalizing,” especially addressed to prophets. Prophets have their unique spiritual, kingdom function and position, and the term “internalize” has unique application according to the discipline in which it is used. There are very few sources of discussion […]

“He will teach you” is the most basic revelatory experience: being in the School of the Spirit. No matter how mature or infantile the believer, each of us is enrolled in this revelatory experience. God is actively, personally, and intimately involved in our lives! The process of receiving a renewed mind and implementing His guidance […]

Mentoring can be an aspect of fathering but certainly cannot be the definition of it. Several dynamics of natural fathering may speak to the function of spiritual fathers, but natural fathering cannot be the model for spiritual fathering for several reasons. Abraham was a father of nations by a natural-fathering-first function: his own flesh and […]

Not all apostles are the same. Although the New Testament is filled with apostles, written by apostles, and written about apostles, very little discussion is given today to the apostolic ministry because a segment of the church has arbitrarily dismissed this leadership function from consideration. Yet, a considered treatment of what the Bible says demands […]

Jesus tells Peter to forgive his brother 70 x 7, a way of saying, “Just keep on forgiving.” Jesus also says, “This is wicked generation. How long must I remain with you?” He wasn’t having any problem forgiving them while pointing out the frustrating failure of their faith. So, there is a fine line between […]

Seems that now that the election is over the time for misunderstanding has increased instead of diminishing. Namely, a misunderstanding about support for another candidate than the one that won: opposition doesn’t mean hatred or dishonor, and mostly certainly has nothing to do with race. At least for me, it doesn’t. Nor am I one […]

The spirit of the world is a root issue. This spirit is the Father’s enemy. This spirit seeks to move passion away from the Father toward the world. The spirit of this world manifests in an international system, but the spirit of the world is individualized in a very personal way through the demanding desires […]

Review this word. We are entering into its last phase as we turn this year. Then, we will receive “fresh orders.” This word is being pressed into me and leaving an impression upon my spirit. As an emblem pressed into warm wax, each day the word presses a bit deeper, leaving a more clearly defined […]

During the westward march of American settlers expanding the nation toward the mountains, questing pioneers encountered the vast expanse of open plains that became America’s “bread basket.” The terrain was terrifying to many people who turned around and rushed back to the eastern cities or simply stopped east of the Mississippi River, intimidated by the […]
