Jesus’ command for His kingdom representatives: “Go and wherever you go, disciple the cultures.” While there are other words for “people” and “political” that identify people-groups and nations, the term Jesus used was more about the culture that binds people together and identifies them by their customs and manner of living. I would propose that […]

Our trust in God must be complete for us to experience completeness. A pathway of progressive perplexity pushes us toward profounder surrender. Expanded revelation opens our lives to more mystery; the more we learn, the more we realize we don’t much. The more answers we receive, the more questions we have because we have enough […]

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. He is restoring you along the lines of what He […]

You cannot curse the wounded altars if you wish to rebuild them and offer upon them the sacrifice that calls down God’s fire. Recall how Elijah repaired the broken altar on Mount Carmel, “The altar of the Lord that was broken down.” The Hebrew is “rapha,” and depicted Elijah’s repairs as “healing and wholeness.” The […]

(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 […]

[Notes from Dr Don’s teaching on “The Root of Rebellion,” Level 3 IMPACT weekend, FreedomMinistry International.] Rebellion is usually identified in Scripture with specific people because of the behavior of those people. Notably, the New Testament rehearses the rebellion of Cain and Korah. The Old Testament identifies King Saul very clearly with rebellion: “rebellion is […]
