I have been writing that the prodigal son’s father was dysfunctional for giving him inheritance when he was not ready.

Excuse Me, You’re Stronghold is Showing
Strongholds occur when your enemy takes advantage of your vulnerability. The wound, trauma, terror, or source experience “takes on a life of its own.” When I overreact, overcompensate, and overdo mundane life and living, I am exhibiting the residuals of that stronghold. Having a bad experience with one dog isn’t a good reason to fear […]
Non-controlling Leadership
Leadership of a group is different from fathering leadership, yet the two function in tandem; that is, leadership of a group is a fathering function that sets a backdrop for fathering individuals within the group. Each person within the group may experience leadership uniquely with leadership functions personalized to individual destiny, but this individualization maintains […]
The Passion of the Christ(ian)
Without passion for dying we lack passion for living. The passion of the Christ is for dying, being poured out like wine, broken like bread, a burning desire to finish His assignment, an assignment that costs Him everything in order to gain everything.

Alignment answers the question, “Who are my leaders? How do I function? Where should I put […]
Alignment and Prodigals
Careful examination the prodigal’s investment of inheritance shows interesting insights into the story Jesus told about inheritance. The principles of inheritance in Luke 15, the lost and found department of the kingdom, reveal the gravity of loss and restoration that occur in spiritual inheritance between spiritual generations. Specifically, the prodigal is so named by us […]
Alignment and Prodigals, 2
Spiritual inheritance restores to the next spiritual generation an assigned purpose. In order to fulfill this restored purpose, that generation must be transformed. The spirit and power of Elijah is a transforming mantle because it mantle for restoration. Turning the hearts of father to children and children to fathers restores spiritual inheritance. All transformation is […]
Kingdom Gospel
The Gospel is more than a history of events, the facts of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection Glory. The Gospel is more than the four books labeled to designate the four aspects of His earthly life and ministry. It is that, but much more. One can believe in the historical veracity of the facts and […]
