You Are More Powerful Than You Thought
As believers, we love the miraculous. Miracles make it clear that God did it and not us. If we are intentional and do something noteworthy, there is always a concern that it came out of a sinful part of our presumptuous soul and didn’t originate from God. The...The Story Behind Healing for Warriors
Clyde Parker, me, and Ben Roots in Montana For the past 25 years, I’ve gone back to the ranch in Montana to help my brother, Jess, move his cows to summer pasture. It’s an annual retreat to my roots where I grew up on Dad’s ranch just eight miles down the Musselshell...The Hero’s Journey
Sons go through stuff, It’s normal. If something goes wrong, we assume we’re wrong somehow and experience “shame.” Deaths and resurrections are normal pathways for God to reveal His glory in His sons. Not pleasant, but afflictions will lead you...Sons are Courageous
Yesterday, we had a prayer time courts of Heaven with our tribe, and we all repented for thinking too small, not believing for the magnitude of what God has for us in individual books. God is raising up sons right now, and they are more courageous, more able to...Apocalyptic Sons
The book of revelation is thought of as apocalyptic in our culture; thanks in part to a faulty rapture theology that predicted the end/destruction of the world in judgement when Jesus returns. In reality, the bible verses pointing to destruction have a fulfillment in...Eight is New Beginnings
Eight years ago, we found out an investment I made was a Ponzi scheme, and we nearly went bankrupt. We didn’t just lose the money and everything but our house. We had a legal liability to go with it. This week we got an email from our lawyer with these words,...Future Proves Past
Future events prove past purpose – “Prophecy” is traditionally associated with predictions of specific future events with dates, and it’s usually in the context of what God will sovereignly do (usually false). The real Spirit of prophecy is a...Taste and See What’s Coming In Your Life
Take These 5 Proven Steps to Experience Your Future Now and Gain Clarity from a Revolutionary Online Course with a Live Tribe and a Personal Guide Hell and monotony are the same place! – We all want to be wholehearted, passionate, and celebrated for something;...Stewards of Glory (3)
Servants Repent; Sons Redeem – The biggest question God has for sons isn’t what you don’t do trying to be a good Christian; it’s what will you do? We all have a broken past for which the cross is the answer. We also have a religious tradition that if...Stewards of Glory (2)
I watched a documentary Out of the Shadows and an interview with Martin Geddes that dealt with tumultuous issues going on around the world. They are dark and touch on the level of corruption and control in governments and media. It will be darker than any conspiracy...Stewards of Glory (1)
What’s Worship – As a believer and then a pastor, I loved congregational worship. We practiced the music and sought God for a prophetic flow in every service. Those services taught me a precious aspect of hearing God’s voice and learning to glorify him. I will always...Even the Winds Obey Him
When pandemics come along, every possible theory pops up. It’s a test! No, it’s judgment! It’s a Sabbath rest! It’s the devil! It’s China. Like the Covid-19, people have different theories about Jesus. His disciples understood Him over...Opening the Gates of Nations
Your assignment will inevitably lead to a closed door that can be confusing. Sons open doors and gates, servants assume something is wrong with them and either try harder, repent of their sins, or reopen their inner healing issues one more time. This blog is on how...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....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...How You Can Tell a Transformational Story
People who tell stories engage us. Leaders who tell us our story move us. We lead people into their greatness when we connect them with their own story – it’s a prophetic process – that you can do. People, organizations, corporations, and nations that are great are...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...Life – With and Without Purpose
My personal purpose in life flows from the desires God wrote in my heart and the activities that naturally result. Fruit always flows from our hearts – good and bad. The following is a list of symptoms of not having a purpose, then a list of fruit when we do have...The Roadmap to Your Heart
Before any of us volunteer to get on a train, we would like to know where it’s going. We would also like that destination to be somewhere we really want to go. I’ve had the experience of riding a train in Poland. I can’t read any of the signs, and very few people...Purpose Defeats Problems Every Time
People have problems – Some are a bit self-inflicted, but resistant to change because they are there for a reason. And, people occasionally like those reasons more than they like your help. For example, wounded hearts try to lighten the pain with...Learning the Language of Heart
The language of our hearts is pictures, scenes, movies, and images. That’s why dreams are never just words. When we want to change our hearts, a new movie script is required to exchange for the old. That translates to an experience. We don’t learn from more...Creating Value – a Spiritual Base
The business side of our life on earth is part of our spiritual resume. God is transitioning us to the sons all creation has been anticipating. We have seats in heaven and see what Father is doing so we can bring heaven to earth and solve real problems in the here and...Learn to Pivot
Bad news – “Twenty percent of small businesses fail in their first year, 30% of small business fail in their second year, and 50% of small businesses fail after five years in business.” 89% of the Fortune 500 companies that existed in 1955 are gone today. Fifty...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...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...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...Letting Our Spirit Release Our Heart
The video is here. The age of Kingdom includes some exciting developments in the way God speaks to us. Historically our evangelical heritage was very cerebral, and truth centered. Sound doctrine is important, not just for doctrine’s sake but because it influences our...Exceeding Expectations
The video is here. Obedient servants try to meet the Lord’s expectations by following directions and doing so rather poorly. The reason is that we’re not designed to be servants. God is very relational and it’s His desire to show us the purpose behind what He’s doing...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...Purpose Instead of Perfection
The video is here. One of the great secrets of Christianity is that people aren’t perfect … not leaders, not followers, not anybody! At some level we are all putting the “fun” back in dysfunctional. There are no perfect marriages, families, linage, in-laws or...What is New in 2018
The video is here. Here’s the 2018 drill… Be an early adopter of those who are both priest and king; Operate in wisdom and revelation; Be part of both a praying ecclesia and a vocational mountain; Set things in order in both heaven and earth (Prophetic...God is Choosing the Valiant
In the new covenant priest and king are both in the same person. Jesus is our example… our high priest who is also the King of kings.
Meeting God@Work
Where is God? – in the Kingdom, we find the presence and power and person of God when we get in our mountain and get to work. It’s really simple! That’s where we find ourselves too… our passion, our anointing, our purpose, our fruit, our authority and our personality.
Partnering with the King of kings
The video is here. We never outgrow the need for encouragement and we all long for fathers. Our hearts are designed to cherish a father and to be one. It is pastoral, but once we feel the call to our own destiny, that relationship is better described as apostolic. Our...The Power of Passion
The video is here. Much is shifting in the Kingdom right now, with many practical ramifications in every mountain of our cultures. It is spring in America, a season for new beginnings. At a personal level, servants who have emphasized discipline and obedience are...From Grace to Competence
The video is here. Most believers carry a concept that grace is how we get saved without works. Grace is much more but it has three basic definitions or aspects. Grace is not just fire insurance for heaven, it’s a key ingredient God’s uses to build His Kingdom and...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...Exercising Your Idea Muscle
The video is here. Giving ourselves permission to be creative is the birthplace of new ideas. New ideas are the currency of spirituality, prosperity and calling. Ingenuity flows from personal identity that is not boxed into the self-concept being a servant or the...From Church to Kingdom and Back
The Video is here. The biggest “motivator” for every Christian is experiencing God’s presence and power (in the church) and then getting the invitation to walk with the Father to do even greater works (in the Kingdom). The church is an incubator for new believers and...The Spirit Behind Intimidation
The video is here. One of my experiences in doing great exploits in confidence, feeling the sense of God’s presence, and being so excited, grateful, zealous… is that if something goes wrong, the air suddenly goes out of the balloon and intimidation of the atmosphere...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....Signs Follow
The video is here. “Signs are best meant to follow – not lead. If we are led by the Spirit our “next step” direction will most likely come in the form of a repeated desire, idea or concern that calls us to some form of action. I am alarmed by the number of people who...Listening Skills
The video version of this blog is here. The purposes of a man’s heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out. From an intellectual standpoint, listening is hearing the words and being able to repeat what was said. This recipe often totally misses...Breaking the Midianite Spirit of Poverty
Poverty is easily broken with a work ethic. However, the spirit of poverty has a design behind it to keep us out of our inheritance. It feels like this: We make progress toward our dream and every few years something happens that reduces it all to zero. Just before...Micro Church
The video is here. Micro church is the concept of extending the ministry of traditional church into the 7 mountains. What makes a great life? First we find our purpose (in the desires of our heart), then we find our people (micro-church). The distinctions are simple:...Free to be Wise
The video is here. See prior blog, Your Father Believes in You. The beginning of wisdom – The fear (reverence) of God is the beginning of wisdom. We’ve all had the experience of doing things our own way, without seeking God, and ending up in some kind of painful dead...Experiencing Jesus
The video is here. We heard something new in Paris as well as the Netherlands. France spawned the age of reason and the enlightenment after the reformation. Christians have always balanced spiritual experience with sound doctrine. Intellectualism presumes our heads...The Gateway to 7 Mountains
We usually hear something new from the Lord at each of these conferences. It gets clearer each time we try and articulate it. This time we found precious, hungry people positioned by God with a special calling to lead reformation. There is big-picture move by God to...Why Take Initiative and Risk?
The Video is Here Brochure for next Conference in the Netherlands. Before we can run off and change the world, our hearts need to know why. Our concept of what God expects from us and what He is like makes a huge difference in our level of creativity and enterprise....Leading from the Heart
There are two prior newsletters that go with this theme, Listening Skills and Putting Life in Corporate Culture. Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that’s where life starts. Prov 4:23 Message For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings...Servants Obey – Friends Collaborate
The video is here. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed...The Biggest Kingdom Transition
The video is here. I personally imagine God asking us one question when we get to heaven, “What did you do with the desires I put in your heart?” Obedience, works, miracles and serving the dreams of others are not a substitute for having a conversation with God about...Experiencing Surrender
The video is here. The Old – Surrender means that, in the face of insurmountable odds, we raise our hands and give up. It means letting go and letting God. It means letting go of our own will, taking up our cross and letting God have His way. Instead of doing our own...Tools for Business Starts From Hearts
The video is here. There is a huge season of transition to Kingdom right now. God’s people are being equipped to impact nations and cultures in terms of a reformation. We’re not letting go of the ingredients of revival, the miraculous presence of God. Revival and...We Can Change the World
The video is here. Some would say, “No, you can’t change the world.” Others would say, “One person at a time, starting with me.” For those who are staying to build the Kingdom, and not leaving in the rapture, we can get started on our assignment right now. Here’s how....Experience – the Language of the Heart
The video is here. The goal of Releasing Kings is to connect people with their hearts – thereby connecting them with what God has written in their hearts for the Kingdom and with the person of Jesus. The heart of God’s people is weary of the soulish and intellectual...The Gospel of being Chosen
The Video is here. This video departs from the newsletter so I recommend you watch it (10 min). This trip to Poland and Denmark consisted of a 7 Mountains conference, two Heart Plan workshops, a church service and a dozen meetings with Kings operating in different...7 Kingdom Strategies
The video for this blog is here. God is pointing us toward revival, intentional reformation, and Kingdom, and He’s inviting us to be more practical and strategic. Waiting on God and prayer are good and essential, but the Lord is inviting us to implement our prayer in...Putting Love in Leadership
The video version of this blog is here. How we got here – Around 1900, Henry Ford developed an assembly line process that successfully produced millions of cars. As the decades went by, Fordism crept into education and management theory in a conceptual way that...Resurrecting from Rejection
The video version of this blog is here. Entering the Kingdom We started Releasing Kings with a focus on helping people to get in touch with their heart’s desires and giving them permission to be a King to make those dreams come true. However, there is an equally...7 Keys to Tapping the Wealth Within
But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today. Deut 8:18 NIV For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for...Have Fun, Make Money, and Love People
My personal journey toward marketplace ministry and this Kingly mindset started with four aspects of theology, and it changed my perspective on being entrepreneurial and contending for the Kingdom. We carefully wrote about these four topics in Releasing Kings, part 2....
