The Flip Side of Abuse During the several decades I have observed church-anity and ecclesia, I have seen as much abuse of leaders as I have abuse by leaders. I have observed some really strange abuse by leaders, for sure, even to the point of leaders drawing blood on a person’s cheek, grasping both cheeks […]

Jesus said little-sized faith could move mountains into the sea. He said that little-sized faith should speak to that mountain and tell that mountain what to do and the mountain would obey the command of little-sized faith. The “mountain” would present impossibilities. The little-sized faith would represent obedience to assignment, moving forward with a tenacity […]

“Revival” is an expansive term, and this broadness opens to door to misunderstanding when used to describe moves of God. Many times, I’ve heard leaders use the term “revival” in contradictory ways, or heard them say something about “our definition of revival” or “our kind of revival” or “false revival.” Not really sure how any […]

The words of Jesus may be familiar to us: “Anyone who hears My words and practices them is like a man who built his house on rock. Anyone who hears My words but does not practice them is like a man who built his house on sand.” What we may miss the reality that once […]

Jesus has a specific procedure for personal transformation. He has provided everything you need to so radically changed, inside out, that your destiny can be fully restored: you can be the person God created you to be. He is not turning you into someone else.

(See also Jesus on Raising the Dead) Jesus was a miracle worker. Consistently. With intent to manifest God’s kingdom power, He confronted the limiting factors of demons, disease, deficiency, and death. He ministered in the power of Holy Spirit. He ministered in this way because this is how things work in His kingdom; He ministered […]

During the ministry of Jesus, many believed on Him because of His Word and works. A period of popularity continued in which people were embracing Jesus’ ministry and leadership. Jesus says, “If you continue in My Word, you are really My disciples and you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.” […]

I’ve noticed a trend in Christian television away from preaching as the mode of communication. I think that is good. Yes, I think that discovering, uncovering, producing and perfecting other ways of communicating the message of the kingdom is beneficial to our calling and commission to “disciple nations.” We should be producing excellent media presentations […]

Yep, someone actually asked this question… …then, someone else actually answered it. Then, someone else said, “Yes, there are because I saw some in a revelatory experience.” Then, someone else actually said, “If you see a spirit being as a woman, she always represents something false or evil.” Then, someone else said, “No, because Jesus […]
