The entire world, including Kingdom Business, is in an important age shift. Itā€™s a prophetic season of optimism that looks for a golden age of Reformation. Sons are arising with an anointing for co-laboring with Father to bring a Reformation of Nations from Heaven to Earth.

Whatā€™s an Age?
The transition into a kingdom age right now is very exciting. Everyone can feel it! Itā€™s the shift from Pisces (fish in schools) to Aquarius (life-giving water bearers, sons). You might conclude I study horoscopes! Rest easy; I donā€™t. But I recognize Fatherā€™s times and seasons, and He created star signs in the sky. A several-decade shift in constellation movements happens about every 2000 years. Aquarius is coming into view, and Pisces is fading. If you want the details, read Eyes Wide OpenĀ by Martin Trench. So, whatā€™s different about this age shift?

Winning the PsyWar
I heard the concept of fake news, but I had no conception of the sinister alliance between government/cabal manipulation, media propaganda, and ideological strongholds. World war three has been ongoing for some time as a psychological war aimed at controlling your mind (PsyWar by Robert Malone). Itā€™s an entirely new technology for cognitive warfare that targets your subconscious and intersects with spiritual warfare. There are POWs in this war, and you have already felt their captivity in delusion. Now, thereā€™s an anointing with weapons not of this world to demolish strongholds, arguments, and false pretensions to set these captives free (2Cor 10:3-5).

Col 2:8 ā€“ See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow & deceptive philosophy,
which depends on human tradition
and the elemental spiritual forces of this world
rather than on Christ.

Elemental spiritual forces G4747 (Stoichein) ā€“ rules, principles

From Servants to Sons
The serfish, victim mentality that accepts oppression to dodge the burden of personal responsibility is awakening, now hungry for purpose and freedom. This second shift is from being fish swimming in schools, accountability, and rules, to conversational relationships with Father and one another. Sons are created for purpose. Leadership is connecting fallen branches back to the vine (the John 15 juice), rather than plugging them into a business procedures or religious principles. Sons and daughters are shifting from material motivations to sharing their Fatherā€™s purpose.

Businesses are creating value that flows from a living and dynamic Kingdom purpose. Ecclesia is really a group of people who share a Kingdom purpose, particularly in business. Fellowship absent that purpose now feels empty and pointless. It is very apparent that flowing in Fatherā€™s purpose is the source of our fresh ideas, creativity, innovation, and business value. Leaders who co-labor with Father are consciously opening a door for His miraculous role in their business. It leads to Reformation.

Reformation (Doing What Father is Doing)
There is a third shift in business sons who are strategically losing their self-indulgent lives to find their real life and Kingdom Purpose. The question morphs from: Whatā€™s my purpose? ļƒ  What is Fatherā€™s purpose? ļƒ  What is our purpose?

Our business plan is following the Lamb (Rev 14:4).

Mt 16:24 ā€“ Then Jesus said to His disciples,
If anyone wants to come after Me,
he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.
25)Ā  Ā Ā For whoever wants to save his life will lose it;
but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

This shift doesnā€™t neglect strategic planning, KPIā€™s, and cash flowā€¦
all the machinery of running a business well.

#1. Ā This shift positions all the business mechanics right behind Fatherā€™s purpose. Co-laboring in Prophetic purpose is our Key Performance Indicator for the Resources of heaven.

#2. Ā The work ethic and long hours come right behind the priority of being in Fatherā€™s Council and living by every word that proceeds from Him (Mt 4:4, the paradox of rest from busyness!).

#3. Ā It puts bringing Heaven to Earth in a Reformation of nations at the tip of the motivational spear for having a business in the first place.

#4. Ā Sons grasp their role as Prophet, Priest, and King in watering a dry and thirsty land with rivers of living water that flow from the throne in Heaven through their hearts on earth (Jn 7:38).

Ps 84:6 ā€“ Passing through the Valley of Baca they make it a spring;
The early rain also covers it with blessings.
7)Ā  Ā They go from strength to strength,
Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
(Fatherā€™s Council)

#5. Ā Sons in Business are creating Kingdom Cultures around shared purpose. It feels like Ecclesia because it is. Itā€™s an exciting, inviting, and inclusive movement that gives people purpose! Marketing is now intentionally resonating with the prophetic direction in clients.

This blog was inspired by four of Johnā€™s Council sessions that are amazing! We share them as examples of what you can do as well. Father is welcoming sons and daughters into His Council. Itā€™s where you find your Identity, Story, Purpose, Strategy, Tactics, Heritage, Courage, Clarity, and Cultureā€¦ from the 7 Spirits of God.

Our OfferĀ ā€“ We help Kingdom Businesses find and fulfill their unique purpose while producing value and cash flow via coaching and courses. We integrate Fatherā€™s Courts, Council, Purpose and Passion for Business leaders in a 1-on-1 format.

AxiomĀ ā€“ Have fun, create value, love people, and build the Kingdom!

Whatā€™s an Age?Ā ā€“Ā Eyes Wide OpenĀ by Martin Trench has a straightforward concept regarding the definition of Age ā€“ (aion,Ā G165). Ages are the 2000+ year constellation shifts that parallels the signs of the times:Ā AriesĀ (the bull, Old Testament sacrifice) >Ā PiscesĀ (the fishes, church) >Ā AquariusĀ (the water bearer, sons bringing heaven or Kingdom to earth). Astrology (substituting horoscopes for hearing God) is a popular perversion of this truth. However, the early church and cultures were aware of times and seasons defined by constellation shifts. There are many references to the 12 signs of the zodiac in the first-century church and many more in the cultures of the day. For example, Jesusā€™ life coincides with the end ofĀ AriesĀ and the beginning ofĀ Pisces. Transitions take decades and ages overlap, so Pisces became visible at Jesus birth, and Aries entirely disappeared in 70AD coincident with the destruction of the temple and the end of Old Testament animal sacrifices. Notice the ā€œgradualā€ language in Hebrews, ā€œbecoming obsoleteā€ ā€“ ā€œgrowing oldā€ ā€“ ā€œready to disappear.ā€
