Sons are in the Council, seeing Father’s purpose and bringing heaven to earth. It’s Father’s strategy for Reformation. Sonship and ascending to the Courts and Council is new to most of us. We ascend to see what Father is doing so that we can do it with Him (Jn 5:19)....The Fog of War, the Mirage of Cognitive Dissonance
The most significant shift in the Kingdom is servants moving into sonship, From intellectual adherence to intimate hearing and seeing. Servants know they can’t serve God and mammon (those carnal appetites others have). But in reality, servants are led by their own ego...From Crumbs to Conversations
I am Fragile – The entrepreneurial world of leading a business starts with talent and wisdom. There is excellence and competition that is measured with profit and seen in public acclaim. Business leaders generally have an external veneer of self-sufficiency. In small...Learning to Receive – Courts of Heaven
We all want to ask the Lord for revelation, understanding, provisions, and physical manifestations. But most of us have had an experience with suffering that made God feel distant or moral failures that made us feel distant. Those experiences left our hearts with a...Learning to Learn
The Age of Sonship – There is a tangible Kingdom shift that tweaks leadership style. The identity of servants and sheep who trust and obey is moving to sons, kings, and priests who volunteer because they have seen Father’s heart or business (Jn 15:15). There is a...See It, Decree It, Do It
Believers know they should have authority but often don’t know how to use it. The common failure scenario is having a path in mind and then ratcheting up our faith to get it. Using imagination, mindset, Bible verses, or theological preconceptions to leverage God’s...Spiritual Warfare, Wins, and Wine

Ascending to the Council Made Simple If Father was inviting believers to occupy their seats in heaven as sons, would you want to be at that banquet? Would you really tell the Lord, “I think I’ll pass, thanks anyway?” Ascending &...Beyond Prophetic
We are in an age change that is exciting and troubling. Sons are moving from saying and seeing revelation to doing it. The OLD – is intellectually understanding our direction; able to prophesy it, explain it, preach it, love it. The NEW – is being moved by it to...7 Spirit Cue Cards
The free PDF version of the 7 Spirit Cue Cards Order Spiral Bound Cue Cards Kingdom business is co-laboring with Father to do what He is doing (Jn. 5:19). It’s a delicate balance of 1) my Kingly role of hard work and common sense coupled with 2) the priestly...Guide to Father’s Council
We developed 7 Spirit Cue Cards as a guide to Father’s Council. The goal is to make it practical and to provide a small taste of the prophetic spirit of prayer that comes from it in ten 5-minute videos. Father, Jesus, and each of the Seven Spirits display a different...Bible Basis for Priestly Leaders (2)
In prior blogs, we talked about Priestly Leadership, the Biblical Basis, and Priestly Functions. From a business Friend – I have struggled for years with my prayer life. I’ve struggled with focus, with purpose, with relinquishing my own ego-centric wants. I’ve spent...The Priestly Function in Business
The Priestly function in business deserves a practical explanation and some examples. We are not advocating that managers become pastors and their businesses become churches. However, CEO’s can bring a Kingdom culture into their business and release their staff as an...The Bible Basis for Priestly Leaders
We’ve been integrating sonship, ascension, Courts, Council, and seer gifts into the business mountain through coaching, books, and online courses (see resources). Occasionally the Biblical basis question comes up, so I’ve been asking the Lord for more and got a...The Priestly Side of Business Leadership
The kingly side of leadership is familiar territory for business mountain owners, CEOs, and managers. We get to tell people what to do and manage the company and the cash flow. However, leadership in a Kingdom Culture has two sides (Priest and King). Unfortunately,...Accusations and the Courts of Heaven
Blog Video for post below. We are in transition in our businesses and the world to a Kingdom culture. Sons and daughters are being invited to an exciting level of relationship with Father. End of the age in the bible is not the end of the world; it’s the transition...The Honor of Your Presence
We are accustomed to asking for the presence of the Holy Spirit in meetings. We can feel His moving and hear the prophetic themes He brings. The age of Kingdom adds another dimension. Father requests the honor of our presence in the Courts and Council of Heaven....From Busyness to Kingdom Business
Summary – People are always “busy” when they don’t know their book. They have no way to set priorities. They want to do it all from their soul, instead of from the Council (doing what Father is doing). The fruit of not knowing our “one thing”...When the Warfare Starts
When spiritual warfare starts, servants beat themselves up. Attacks from the enemy result in strained relationships, rejection, loss of finances, health problems, confusion, etc. Servants immediately conclude God is judging them, and they must have opened a door with...From Scavenger Hunts to Reformation
There is a shift in how we cooperate with Father to build the Kingdom. Servants are still shifting to sons, but it ripples through how we hear from God and process Father’s guidance. So here are the two primary streams: charismatic servants is our tradition and...Preemptive Strikes
One of the challenges of Kingdom Business is staying ahead of problems rooted in spiritual warfare. Bill Hybels pastored a 24,000 member church, Willow Creek in Chicago, and Brian Houston pastored Hillsong in Australia. Both were vital leaders and household names who...Decrees are Ambushes
The enemy has a strategy that is gradually being exposed. We can see enemy devices and strategies (graphic and Clay Clark interview). I’ve been asking the Lord to show us His strategy as this exposure has happened. We are all anxious to see the evidence of God moving....Settling For Crumbs
A Picture of the Council We’ve all heard that “God has a wonderful plan for your life.” Most believers can’t tell you what it is beyond the pablum of religious generalities (evangelism, missions, Kingdom). The theological paradigm looks like blindfolded believers...Spiritual intelligence (SQ)
We all got saved via an experience with Jesus. We came from a very rational, intellectual space disconnected from our hearts and God. Then, we experienced Jesus in a way that doesn’t lend itself to explanation or need to. Yet, surprisingly, many believers who start...Themes For 2022
I reread Harold Eberle’s revision of Victorious Eschatology, 2021, and had lunch with him yesterday. We’re on the same page, so our conversation flowed freely. I hadn’t focused on Revelation or Biblical prophecy for some time and this week’s experience left me...Answering God’s Prayer
One of the impacts of sons going to the council is getting exposed to the Father’s heart. God’s Kingdom gives us a balance between the desire of my heart and the desires in God’s heart. Father is concerned about the desires of your heart (Ps. 37:4), but there are also...Optimism in the Age of Aquarius
Several foundations compel me to excitement about the future. I’m not diminishing the fraud behind Covid, the election, and the actions of “Let’s go, Brandon.” But I believe God’s people and the United States, in general, are headed for exciting times. Here’s my...First in Heaven, Then on Earth
Jesus gave us authority “to overcome all the power of the enemy, nothing will harm you” (Lu. 10:19). We all face the complication of walking that out on earth; we’ve all experienced failures trying to do things “in Jesus’ name.” Here are a few of the pitfalls: When...The Giants Are Always Bigger
The self-improvement industry offers the premise that you’re sufficient. Believe in yourself, work hard, and your dreams will come true. The sales copy is always, “If I can do this, so can you.” The spiritual reality is that, outside of Christ-in-you, you can get your...Mighty Men and Daily Wins
Mighty Men Do One Thing Well, they stay “in Christ!” Sons who do exploits in a great or small measure have the same testimony as Jesus; it is the Father, living in me, who is doing His work (John 14:10). There is nothing more refreshing or life-giving than...Mountains and the Council
The gospels record Jesus going up into a mountain nine different times, but Luke 8:16 also says he “often went,” and there are likely many more instances than those recorded; it was Jesus’ regular practice. If you’ve been to Israel, you know...See it First
See It First, Believe It Second A few days ago, I was asked to pray for a women nine time zones away who had a chronic back problem. She had suffered from pain for ten years and was bedridden for the last 4. She was cheerful, receptive, and thankful. I was convinced...Sons Co-labor
One of the interesting things about sons who frequent and become fluent in the courts and council of heaven is that they become co-labors in Father’s purposes. We are not just Seers, we are Seers and Doers who bring Heaven to earth. Jesus paved the way for sons and...Releasing Judgment
Judgment is taboo in western cultures. Jesus, Gandhi, and King are held up as examples of non-violent pacifists who always turned the other cheek, never spoke an unkind word, and happily surrendered to martyrdom. The implication is you should too. Really? The sister...Unwrap Your Seer Gift
The little-known secrets of the seer gift that anyone can develop. Give yourself permission to use your imagination to start seeing, then discern what you get. Rinse and repeat until you “experience knowing” the scenes are real and interactive....God With Us or Us With God
I got back from ten exciting days in Europe after 24 hours of airports on a Monday night and went to work Tuesday morning with a combination of euphoria, jet lag, a cold, and a sense of overwhelm on what to do next. While I was nursing a little self-pity, Jesus...Tribe – The Culture of Fathering Dreams
The blog that walks through the Tribe graphic above is here. I just got back from 10 days in Europe. There is a great awakening happening around the world. It has different looks in different mountains. It’s a shift from servants who need help, healing, and guidance...You Can Be a Seer
We used to think gifts of the Spirit weren’t for anybody. Then we decided they were for a few. Now we know they are for anyone who has faith and maturity to operate in them. Becoming a seer is the same. It’s for everyone. First the why, then the how. Why see? – Seeing...Where is Your Open Door to Kingdom?
We would all like to be the hero of our story. We all want to hear, “Well done.” We all like the sense of his favor to fill our sails and to touch the miraculous on occasion, i.e., to confirm He is with us. The problem is the resistance is real. It’s not easy....Why Mysticism Is Good for Business
There is a healthy transition from intellectualism to an experience-based faith right now. Sound doctrine is essential, but we all got saved based on experiences with Jesus. We can approach courts and decrees from a methodic, cerebral perspective and have a shopping...Communion – Shared Purpose
We usually translate communion as remembering the sacrifice of Jesus’ blood in the context of our personal forgiveness. We think of the drinking unworthily as coming to communion carrying unforgiveness against other people. We check this box by extending forgiveness...A Spirit of Enthusiasm
Plastic smiles – We all know the rules, and we all know how to put on a happy face when the rules get broken. We also know what our hopes and dreams look like and we know how to hide the pain of their demise under the same happy face. The happy face looks about...How To Be Known in Heaven
We’ve heard a lot over the last few years that our identity is in Christ i.e., that we know who we are by understanding what Jesus did for us and can do through us. It’s all good, but few have a practical grasp on what that means. Most people interpret Christ in me as...10,000 Instructors
We are in a season where God’s people understand that His will can be found in the desires of our hearts. That’s how we define a King (connected to his/her heart’s desires). Traditionally, doing God’s business was always presumed to be sacrificing my will and picking...Online Heart Plan Endorsements
We’ve developed two online courses to bring prophetic and practical clarity to your purpose, vocation or business and a success path to seeking the Father in the courts of heaven and the council: The Heart Plan will help you fish your purpose out of the deep waters of...From Excuses to Decrees
We are all adept at making excuses. Excuses have power because they are rooted in some aspect of truth or reality. They often stem from spiritual accusations. When we verbalize them, they sound prophetic in the same way accusations have a prophetic tone that is spoken...Identity Comes from What We Do
Knowing your identity has been all the rage for the last few years because “who we are” is the foundation for what we believe and do. Although it is true, it’s not the whole story. Who you are (identity) is partly shaped by what you actually do. The theological and...From Children to Sons to Heirs
Over the last month, I’ve been part of a tribe of people moving from children who have entered the Kingdom to sons who inherit and possess their calling spiritually and practically. They have distinct ministry gifts, yet they prosper in businesses or vocations. Moving...Drawing the Plan Out of Your Heart
One of the keys to the kingdom is knowing God works through voluntary sons, who in turn work out of the desires Father wrote in their hearts (Jer. 31:33-34; Heb. 8:10-11). There is a distinct authenticity that is readily apparent in sons connecting with their hearts....www.Seers-and-Doers.com
We’re just wrapping up the beta edition of www.OnlineHeartPlan.com. The biggest and most pleasant surprise was getting to meet new people and helping them articulate their book or the desires of their heart (their dream). It morphed into a tribe of people with...Choosing to be Wholehearted in Business
We’ve all seen sales personalities who are overly exuberant. We’re never sure we can trust what they say, but we admire their enthusiasm and results. Are they that energetic all the time or are they bipolar and crash in private? Do they believe what they say, or is it...Rethinking Spiritual Warfare
Several nights back I woke up with a vision for a couple who are good friends. I got up to capture it about 1 AM before it evaporated and pushed save to see if I still believed it in the morning. I passed it on, and it did encourage them. Since then it felt like there...His Council is Home
Yesterday, in the course of a conversation with a friend about business and life and reformation, I mentioned courts and council as great kingdom tools. This morning the Lord tweaked me and said, “The council is not just a tool, it’s your home.” The highlight of 2018...Happenings in Europe
The video is here. The Lord did some amazing things on this trip to Europe. It started in Denver at Terry Tyson’s house with a group of businessmen and women. In Berlin, we met Beverley Watkins and prayed for Europe with 20 people from seven nations (Ireland, UK,...Connecting My Heart

The video is here, Note: I wrote up two courts and council prayer sessions to go with this blog. The first is my own courts of heaven session – Courts of Heaven for Serfdom. The second is a Council session with prayer for others called Recovering Spiritual...What You See Is What You Get
The video is here. Now that Seers and Doers is out, I’m asking the Lord “What’s our strategy for helping your people see?” The answer was simple and motivational, “What you see is what you get!” The courts, trading floors and the council all function through a seer...Videos for Seers and Doers
Link to this page – https://releasingkings.com/2018-08-03-videos-for-seers-and-doers/ We made a dozen videos to go with each chapter and appendix of Seers and Doers. The links are live in the Kindle version of the book. This list of links is for the hard copy...Getting Started in the Council
From Revelations to Manifestations The video is here. One of the keys to getting started is to understand where we’re going. Ascending and seeing in the courts of Heaven, the trading floors and the council is a wonderful and meaningful experience, but we’re not...Q&A for Courts and Councils
The video is here and Part 2. I attended Harold Eberle’s Worldcast conference that included a round-table discussion which was interactive, respectful and healthy. We touched on some fair questions that deserve answers. I asked most of them myself in the past and now...Seeing Your Future Self
The video is here. Our new book, Seers and Doers: Sons Bringing Heaven to Earth is on Amazon Our hearts build our identity around pictures and movies that replay whenever we think about who we are and why we’re here. We have role models or heroes that inspire our own...Going Up to a Mountain
The video is here. Our premise (and experience) is that the Keys of the Kingdom (Mt 16:18-19) is ascending to Heaven’s courts and councils to “see” what is already bound and loosed so we can play our Kingdom role on earth (very practical). Let’s look at the context of...From Sinai to Jesus
The video is here, There is a huge Kingdom invitation in this season for God’s people to appear before the Lord in heaven. We’ve been discussing it in Gateway to Kingdom and Seers and Doers. At the same time there is resistance, fear and hesitancy in our hearts. Some...Seers and Doers
The video is here. Please read the introduction to this blog at Gateway to Kingdom. It gives the background. Why See? – God is teaching His sons to: 1) ascend, 2) see, and 3) loose what they see. It’s part of our Kingdom mandate to make a practical difference on...Heaven – Gateway to Kingdom
The video is here. My kingdom theology is going through a new release. Here is the background on this contagious evolution. It’s probably like your own. God seems to update all of us in the same season. Releasing Kings – We wrote Releasing Kings in 2004 on the heels...Putting the Kabosh on Obstacles
The video is here. There are seven promises in Revelation 2 and 3 to overcomers. The Greek work is nikao, which means to subdue. Gen 1:28 immediately comes to mind where Adam is given the commission to multiply, replenish the earth and subdue it. In Hebrew subdue is...Overcomers Invitation to God’s Council
The video is here. Most of us were raised with a concept that God is High, Holy and He resides in heaven to sovereignly reign over ant-like people who continually struggle with problems. Since I viewed God as distant, I never fully grasped the impact of these concepts...Overcomers Buy Gold
The video is here. Have you ever noticed there are two tracks in the Kingdom, the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering? The life and life more abundantly track sounds like a recent podcast I listened to. The interview was conducted around a...Overcomers Set a Table
The video is here. When Jesus stands at the door of our heart and knocks, the offer is that “I will come in and eat with him, and he with me” (Rev 3:20). Our hearts are equipped with a table we set for communion and communication with Jesus. Servants invite Him in to...How to Open Your Book and Find Your Why
The video is here. The free slides (Self-Help Template) are Here in Power Point and as a PDF. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days...I Am Both King and Priest
The real goal isn’t revival, it’s reformation. We are discipling nations and we started by opening the Dutch Book and finding the network who will carry it.
Intentional Reformation (2)
When we make this vision for reformation plain and take steps to articulate it practically in terms of goals, it has an evangelistic pull… “all men” are drawn to this vision and the fruit.
Adding Nations to Your Purpose
The video is here. Why Purpose? – It doesn’t matter if I’m a millennial living paycheck to paycheck or a retiree traveling the world, life without a purpose beyond “self” is empty. For believers, the irony of life in the Kingdom is that when we seek “things” they (and...White Guilt and the Courts of Heaven
The video is here. This is an amazing and wonderful time in God’s Kingdom and in American History. New victories are appearing every week and the curtain has been pulled back on levels of corruption in politics and the press that are liberating for all of us. God...The 3-Legged Stool of “Connecting” With Kingdom
The video is here. One of the most exciting things happening right now is that people are being invited into the Kingdom. Both believers and unbelievers are being chosen first and sanctified second. People of all faiths and of no faith are being invited into this...Poland – Two Voices Pt. 1
The video is here. The key to the Kingdom is centered around becoming comfortable in our God-given identity. There is an authenticity and an authority that comes when we connect with the desires of our heart. Instead of trying to discipline ourselves to rise up to...Poland – Two Voices Pt. 2
The video is here. Last week we summarized the theme of the Holy Spirit from our trip to Poland here… We, and nations, have a book that contains our destiny (Ps 139:13-16). Kingdom is learning what’s in that book, choosing it, fighting for it and inheriting our land....Intercession For Kings
The video is here. Kings are courageous, entrepreneurial, self-starters who bless the heart of God with their initiative. While much of Christianity is passive, God has some sons and daughters who carry His favor and do exploits. We all feel the wind of His Spirit...
