🔥 Create Leaders (Who Engage Sons)
This week, our company had a safety stand-down, and all work was stopped because of some operational lapses in the nuclear industry… big no-no! I felt empathy for the management team trying to motivate 2,600 people to do better. The stand-down was justified, but the...🔥 How Sons Make Good Business Decisions
Itettps://youtu.be/https://youtu.be/3sW00hS8S-43sW00hS8S-4 I When I Felt the Jailbreak From Serf to Son Sonship is a new concept for most of us.

How You Develop Your Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) The Lens – I’ve been reviewing eschatology for the last couple of weeks. The two major streams of thought are Dispensationalism and Preterism. The former is wacko and the later makes more sense but has some...🔥 Victorious Kingdom Eschatology
In an age of cultural shaking, global uncertainty, and spiritual awakening, many believers are trading in the spirit for a hopeful, empowering, prophetically correct lens to view their faith and the future. Dispensationalism is a belief system originating with John...🔥 Father’s Top Priory
We took a week-long 2200-mile road trip through beautiful parts of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. I was totally immersed in the scenery, history, and a nephew’s wedding. The whole experience gave me a fresh perspective on what’s important in Father’s heart right now....🔥 Stories Heal and Awaken
How to help people awaken – The biggest mistake we make is trying to play Holy Spirit and beat people up with bible verses trying to make an intellectual case for a change of mind. It doesn’t work. What does work is to prophetically see the captivity in their heart...🔥 Ghoul Setting
The biggest Wiff in Kingdom Business is headstrong entrepreneurs building their empire so they can be the emperor. Part of the reason they miss hearing the Father’s heart is because they love their vision more than they love Father. God works for them and helps make...🔥 Resurrecting from Wrecks
I have a cousin who lost her 17-year-old daughter in a plane wreck 40 years ago. When that happens, we carry a certain tenderness in our hearts for the rest of our lives. Colleen had a great gift of mercy and many we’re recipients of her caring heart. God used...🔥 The Sonship Diagnostic

We’ve all had a great idea or dream that ignited the desires of our heart. We pursued it with our time, talent, and treasure. But in the end it didn’t work, and in hindsight, it was obvious God wasn’t in it. It wasn’t just a personal failure, it revealed...🔥 The Jesus Mindset in Business
Imagine moving from a Christian business to a Kingdom business. The former emphasizes the good character and the do-this list to maintain the standing and standards (The conformity is not particularly inspiring). A Kingdom business isn’t focused as much on what you...🔥 The Anatomy of a Shortcut: Innovation or Illusion?
Entrepreneurs are natural leaders full of initiative and creativity. There are always tempting offers that shortcut the delays and speed up the accomplishments. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between innovation and temptation. Would you like to hear my...🔥 Be the Lead Follower
Ever had an idea, path, goal, or relationship that seemed really good, but ended really bad? The way we make decisions and the level of discernment we have isn’t really rooted in our minds. We all have spiritual influences that flow through our hearts. Our minds...🔥 Learning to Ask the Right Questions
Great conversationalists know how to engage the right people, in the right place, with the right questions. Sonship is built around that skill; to ascend to God’s Council and have the relational conversations. Those living words from timely dialogue with Father,...🔥 Sonship and Your Seat in the Council
I was introduced to ascension at a financial and spiritual low point. We had barely dodged a bankruptcy and we’re needing a decade or two to dig our way out. Courts of Heaven sounded a bit mystical in 2017, but a friend of a friend took me on despite my reservations....🔥 7 Reasons Kingdom Business is Compelling
#1). FUN – Shared Kingdom Purpose is fun, contagious, Ecclesia in Business. Money and the mechanics of business are not long-term motivators. People will do more for a cause than they will for money. #2). FLOW – I’m sensing a movement among other businesspeople. I...🔥 3 ways to make decisions
Entrepreneurs take pride in their independent decision making. Kingdom businesspeople take delight in doing what Father is doing. It makes their business Flow… toward an engaged staff, a creative culture, and a stronger business model. There are four options for...🔥 Spiritual Narcissism
The first four paragraphs of this blog are an edited transcript of the first two minutes of a video by Erwin McManus that lit me up. I have not heard a better explanation. What Does God’s Voice Sound Like? At our business conference, the Arena, I aim to create an...🔥 Servants are Droids
Servant leader isn’t the goal. Jesus said it first to his disciples, I no longer call you servants (Jn 15:15). The concept of servant leadership is a religious sacred cow whose time has expired. Moses was a servant in the Old Covenant, but Jesus was the...🔥 When Marketing Feels Cheesy
This summer I started two businesses as a brand partner in health-related networking marketing opportunities. I was previously coming from a perspective that I would never be part of such a cheesy crowd! The conflicting emotion is that Make America Healthy...🔥 Prophetic Purpose is a KPI
Money is not the metric of real Wealth, Its purpose. 🔥 True riches include those stored as treasures in Heaven (Mt 6:20). 🔥 The most important KPI is doing What Father is doing (Jn 5:19). Entrepreneurial sons and daughters in the business mountain have a love language...🔥 Redefining Success in Kingdom Business
Success in the business world is typically an outward measure of the size of your business, the quality and popularity of your offering, the money you make, and the visibility you have in your sector. It’s often no different in a Christian business except we refer to...🔥 Making Room in Your Heart for Marketing
All business works on two principles: we create value in practical products that are useful to others and then we influence someone to buy. In the Kingdom we have a similar injunction to go into all the earth and to be the salt and light (also rather salesy!). Most of...🔥 Putting Your Purpose in Motion
In the motivational world of self-help, getting something for nothing is the marketing message. The something is nearly always related to making more money. Unfortunately, having more stuff isn’t directly connected to happiness and dreams coming true. You can get some...🔥 From Leading Sheep to Fathering Sons
There is an amazing functional transition in leadership happening right now. The business payback for instilling relational sonship in our staff culture has an incentive that overwhelms our principled, professional, impersonal, and aloof identity as business leaders....🔥 Beyond Personal Identity – Selfless Heroes
Our identity guides the choices we make in life. The current cultural recipe is deciding to do things we’re good at, that match our personality, or that feel fulfilling and make us successful—like helping others or making money—and say it’s what...🔥 My Father is Always Working
These are raging times of confusion and change, yet there is clearly an awakening to what Father is doing that leads us beside still waters. Jesus and the early church faced the same and have a simple approach, He could see that His Father was always working and...🔥 From Self-Improvement to Sonship

You’re already awash in the media propaganda for self-awareness, self-discipline, self-help, self-concept, self-care, self-love, self-actualization,...🔥 Growing Your Sons in Business
The surprising nature of Kingdom business is that our Kingdom purpose is a huge drawing card for staff and customers. They like what we’re doing and the atmosphere in our staff doing it. Leaders realize the privilege of pulling sons into the dream of their own Kingdom...🔥 The Ministry of Business
The Old Wineskin – The concept of God fulfilling His Kingdom purpose in a business culture is new and exciting. It’s a big change in business and in our hearts. We all come from a church culture and most of us carry some baggage about what ministry is. I was...🔥 When Rebellion Shows Up In Your Camp
We’re all in the people business no matter what the business is. The Holy Spirit is compelling people to new levels in this Kingdom age. Most managers can recognize everything from disengagement, to divisiveness, to subversion. They can all document bad performance...🔥 Transformed via Transfiguration
The business world is influenced by a belief that positive transformations come through changing our mindset. The recipe for changing myself or others is to adjust my attitude with positive affirmations and positive thinking. The gurus even have some out-of-context...🔥 If I Had Money
If I just had more money, I would ______________. When my ship comes in, I will _______________. We’ve all said this to ourselves and to God. We live in secular and Christian cultures that believe money is the measure of success and spirituality; that money is a...🔥 Authenticity and Purpose
In the Kingdom, work and business are forms of worship. So how do we worship in Spirit and in Truth in the business Mountain? How do we connect the wind of God’s Spirit in our lives with the practical necessity of meeting payroll? How do we participate in the movement...🔥 Turn Accusations into Invitations
Putting the Kingdom first and unveiling our personal and business purpose has a couple levels of warfare, internal and external. The internal conflict goes through a couple of strongholds; me deciding whether to trust Father and adopt His purpose, the one he wrote in...🔥 From Fig Leaves to Purpose
One of the Kingdom transitions to sonship in the business realm is purpose. Typically, leaders and CEOs are self-sufficient, self-controlled, self-disciplined, self-assured, and self-starting. By contrast, the leadership dynamic of a Kingdom CEO is co-laboring:...🔥 Sons are Gatekeepers
The Isa 61 Reformation of Nations Via Sons When we find out who we are as sons, the implications of ascending in the Spirit to Father’s Council are profound. We carry His purpose, presence, fragrance, passion, and personality. Jesus said, “my Father is always working...🔥 Experiencing Flow in Life and Business
What’s the value we bring to the Kingdom business sphere? I recently asked the Lord that question. They typical answer is something along the lines of we can do all things for all people (We’re not quite that good). However the value we do bring to business and people...🔥 Sonship and The Divine Council
A Biblical basis for the Council plus practical ramifications for sonship. The most inspiring discovery in this Kingdom age is experiencing the role of sonship in Father’s strategy. I want to share this as a good news story. The verses that substantiate it follow the...🔥 Lying Signs & Wonders in Business
Christians in business are prone to have a bias that everyone is honest, and fraud doesn’t exist. In fact, it comes in variety pack with some very tempting specials! Exposure of fraudulent behavior and people is a theme right now (first awakening to the corruption,...🔥 Pastors With Purpose
We have several pastors who are very excited about our Kingdom emphasis even though we’re targeting business leaders. Having been a pastor, I carried a mind-your-own-business boundary when it came to intentionally reaching out to them in the same way we help business...🔴 The CEO Progression to Kingdom Business
Typically, leaders and CEOs are self-sufficient, self-controlled, self-disciplined, self-assured, and self-starting.

The age of Kingdom has an exciting impact on the business mountain and leadership styles. CEOs are in the crucible of this change, but it can be an adventure instead of a firestorm when we learn to flow with what Father is doing. Fundamentally, it’s getting out of our...When Business Culture is Fun
Sonship and conversations in Heaven’s Courts and Council are themes in Father’s heart. Servants are being invited (called) to sonship. They are experiencing the sense of being chosen for purpose and they are bringing that purpose from heaven to earth via business...What Is The Will of God
And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. 1 John 2:17 ESV Any statement like this tied to “abides forever” gets my attention. It doesn’t necessarily mean physically living forever on this earth. Abide has...How to Get Lit
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)....Creating Value – Greater Works in Business
Sonship is co-laboring with Father to bring Heaven to Earth. The creative anointing of sons in the business mountain has an entrepreneurial expression. Spirituality is demonstrated in works, greater works that set the product or service apart in Kingdom Business....The Kingdom Business Culture Movement
Entrepreneurial types are thoughtful, creative people (IQ). Successful businesspeople also have good people skills (EQ). There is a movement, a yearning in their hearts to gain Spiritual Intelligence (SQ). God is inviting businesspeople into sonship. The Holy Spirit...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...Business Starts With Purpose
Money/Wealth is the earthy currency for Value (Kingdom and Commerce) Money is not the metric for Wealth (Its purpose) Wealth Creation (Deut 8:18) – I create value others want to buy because they benefit from it. (The value I create helps them fulfill their purpose!)...Business Starts With Love

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...Get Out of Your Own Way (Head)
The Dial Tone – Most entrepreneurs are confident and qualified. They usually manage other people, make important decisions, and have a degree of success. Their premise is that they are good people taking care of business, and God doesn’t want to make business...Guard Your Heart By Nurturing Your Dream
How do I guard my heart during seasons of warfare, discouragement, and depression or seasons of overflow, visibility, and outward prosperity? Too much trouble can make us give up on our dream. Too much pomp and success can tempt us to believe we can’t make a mistake;...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...What Do I Really Want?
There is much to discern about what is true, a conspiracy theory, or narrative propaganda from an intentionally deceptive source. We naturally assume personal objectivity in reviewing the news and wonder why we reach different conclusions. Self-deception is the one...Businesses That Engage

I went to see Jesus Revolution with Sue and recommend it highly. I got saved in that era, so it’s particularly meaningful. Came to tears many times. Lonnie’s personal life story wasn’t the film’s theme, but as I read his full history, it is a mixed story and has...Leaders Do Three Things
Leaders do three things: Leaders connect – with the heart of Father and feature Kingdom purpose as their basis for inspiring actions on meaningful initiatives. Leaders are not egocentrics passing out self-serving mandates. They are practically doing what Father...Decentralization
God’s Kingdom has always been distributed. Power is invested in sons and daughters of God (the King), and they are assigned to the nations in each of the Seven Mountains. Centralization of religion under a single pope, potentate, or apostolic figure has worked...From Obedience to Prophetic Purpose
There are subtle shifts in how we relate to Father when we shift from charismatic to Kingdom. Prophetic words and Biblical mandates have been understood to be inviolate. We are God’s servants, and we hear the direction and obey it – it’s that simple. But, in this age,...Leading a Kingdom Business Culture
Birthing a Kingdom Culture in a business has a clear goal that is very much on Father’s heart – Birthing sons instead of servants. We are not neglecting cash flow and traditional business metrics. We are just saying the best long-term strategy for a business is...The Power of Purpose
One of the distinctives of this Kingdom age is that sons have purpose. We are not serfs measuring our spiritual prowess by obedience. We share our Father’s heart, and we’re co-laboring on a dream that is in my heart. Our exploits flow from entrepreneurial adventure...Contrasting Kingdoms
Business leaders often miss the subtle yet pervasive messages our staff constantly receive from the dark side. The media, news, and entertainment are 90% scripts with hidden agendas. The news of mass shootings is “soul-crushing,” even though they may have been staged...Build Your Tribe
What’s a Tribe – Purpose is the difference between a tribe and an organization or a crowd. People in a tribe share a purpose. There are still leaders, but the mutual respect level is much different. Everyone is working on different facets of the same purpose. Because...From Purpose to Brand
I’ve always been a little intimidated by marketing, primarily because of all the big promises and modest results. How do we convert purpose to story, and they package it in our brand and marketing and then actually get results? That question bothered me enough to ask...Becoming Yourself (Purpose)
Authenticity is one of the keys to the Kingdom. “Is it OK to be myself? Isn’t that way too carnal?” That question has roots in a prideful belief that we can live a good life by cleaning up our own act. So, religion tries to hold us accountable for reshaping, renewing,...Aspirations

Why Stories – People who tell stories engage us in the language of our hearts (pictures and movie clips). Leaders who tell us our story move us. We lead people into their greatness when we connect them with their own stories. It’s a prophetic process that you can do....Start with Purpose and People
The most exciting part of Kingdom business is getting to do what Father is doing (Jn 5:19). A Good business model is repeatable and reproduceable. We consistently provide value in goods or services to others for a profit. It doesn’t take long before the new wears off...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...Hearts Known and Read
Decree – What is in hearts shall be known and read of all men; it’s a jailbreak! Our religious tradition is that what is in my heart is so corrupt that it should be hidden. This decree releases two things: Secrets in men’s hearts are being revealed (accusations in the...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....My Brother’s Purpose
We each have responsibilities (burdens) to carry that belong strictly to me (Gal. 6:5). But, each of us has responsibilities to help discern and carry our brother’s purpose (burden, Gal 6:2). Yes, but how? There is a kingdom shift toward sons with purpose right now....Leaders Manage Purpose
If your purpose adds value, then people, money, and God’s favor will come and help you! Businesspeople are often “too busy” to nail their prophetic purpose. Their leadership is not particularly inspiring, and they are prone to rely on personal authority to motivate...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...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...Fog of War by Johnnie Enlow
I watched this 90 min. interview a second time and took notes. As Sons, we carry an anointing and a responsibility to bring these things from heaven to earth in prayer and practice. Plus, I thought it was one of the best prophetic insights I’ve heard this year. We...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...Awakening to Reformation
The story of Humanity is the 2000-year redemption from Serfs to Sons… Captives are being set free. This is particularly true in Slavic history. It’s not about what the devil is doing: covid, vax, the economy, the media, Marxism, or the tyranny in...Business With Purpose
Businesses are a collection of people that should have a purpose bigger than their widget or service. Businesses that flow with God’s purpose have an entirely different feel. They are relevant, bigger than themselves, and there is an intangible ‘Pull’ to work with...Reigning Through Deception
Between Afghanistan, fake news, covid, election fraud, and employment threats, everyone’s heads are spinning. If cable news is accurate, it’s probably accidental. The internet is a mix of truth, half-truth, and junk. Father, show how to reign over all this...Works and Rest are the Same Place

Jesus asked 307 recorded questions in the Bible, but people only asked Him 183 questions. Why? When a servant encounters God, he expects the ten commandments. Servants expect to be told what to do, how to do it, and when. They deal in statements of fact. Obedience is...See it First

The concept of discipleship implies followers and leaders. It’s entirely appropriate when we are young in the Lord. However, the ultimate goal is that God wants to be the Father of His own sons, the ones for which all creation has been waiting. He wants to share...I’m Busy! – Turning Stones into Bread
When we bring up the topic of knowing the purpose God wrote in your heart, I often hear, “I already know my purpose and I’m doing it.” Quite often that means my business is working, it’s making money, and I’m too busy to have this conversation. I’m busy making bread...Opening Hearts With Purpose
We all know people who are not open or receptive to God or us. I typically move on to people that are open, to buy time for the Holy Spirit to do His job and ripen the fruit. I think they can feel the abandonment in that attitude of leaving them behind. By contrast,...Top Two Legendary Self-Limiting Beliefs

Life poses many choices, and purpose always shows up as tall, handsome brothers that don’t really fit. When David does show up, you recognize the King (1 Sam 16:8-13). Clarity comes when you see the real thing. You’ll know it when you see it. Here are ten...If You Knew You Were Going to Fail?
Getting in touch with the Kingdom purpose God wrote in your heart isn’t a surefire recipe for fame and fortune in this life. It is simply the Father’s purpose for His son or daughter. There is more than one way to accomplish it, which taps our creativity...How Do I Clarify My Purpose?
Before we can connect with the Heart of God, we have to connect with what He wrote in our own heart. David was a man after God’s own heart, and we are given the key of David. It’s the key to heaven that sons use to access the council. Sons don’t show...Experiencing Your Purpose

Jesus-followers all know one thing: they have experienced Him: (The feeling of a load taken off our shoulders as sins are forgiven; The sense of His love for us as sons and daughters; The invitation to Kingdom and co-laboring; His presence). The Christianity of...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...A Theology for Conspiracy Theories
I’m not sucker for goofy conspiracy theories. There has always been an abundance of end-time doom speak. Faulty church eschatology has done as much to supercharge the climate of fear over a flu virus as the infection rate. The most crucial conspiracy is the one...Start With Purpose
Transformation from the Heart – No matter how hard we try; we can’t make ourselves be someone else. Incentives, discipline, and accountability won’t cure your personality and calling. There’s nothing wrong with your design! God likes you the way He created you....Hearts Are Not Herds
Businesses, organizations, and marketing all have hierarchies that are not necessarily people friendly or value-oriented. The mindset is to make the sale in a belief that there isn’t time in the business model to build a relationship. They leave us behind because they...7 Ways You Can Walk in God’s Favor
Anti-favor – The best place to start a discussion on God’s favor is to understand the pain of living out of His favor. It’s worse than not having His positive intervention in our lives. It feels like the world is against us, and nothing works. Our health, finances,...Making Friends With Failure
The image of success is often painted with a thin veneer of never failing. When we fail, shame sets in and the accusation is, “Successful people don’t fail, but success is not for you; you are a failure.” I lost the family nest egg in a bad investment seven years ago....Substituting Process for Purpose
Connecting with the purpose God wrote in our hearts starts with the belief that there is a cause and giving myself permission to go there and look. This dreams-really-do-come-true stuff feels like the last time I was out on a limb and got it sawed off. I hear these...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...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...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...Seeing the Big Picture
Have you ever spent a lot of time and energy in a big initiative only to find out it was a blind alley, a bad investment, or a waste of time? Or, have you missed the big picture and your time and energy produced something unprofitable; then felt like an “unprofitable...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...Creation is Waiting For Sons Not Sermons
I’m excited about Intentional Reformation from a personal level all the way to nations. This season is distinctly different because there are kings making a difference in their mountains. We are all being invited into our Kingdom Books, and much higher levels of...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...Something For Nothing
Want to know why lottery winners are statistically more likely to face bankruptcy than the rest of us? It’s easy, they didn’t learn to create value. The mental model of getting something for nothing isn’t scriptural, but it does have a root in Christianity (and in...Clouds With Rain
The video is here: https:// -www.useloom.com/share/3815fe7488e24ac4bf2676bf6090449d The Shift – Many are navigating the reality that ministry is never sustainable without money (lots of it, I might add). We are accustomed to offerings and foundations, but the...Heart Boundaries and Breakthroughs
Bill Gates had an interesting interview in Business Insider. He’s suggesting we be integral with our hearts. God is too! Life is about intentionally choosing and following through on what matters most — following through on your commitments, as Gates said. Maybe you...From Integral to Integrity
Integral (connected with my heart) naturally leads to integrity. I have nothing to hide and lots to give. Integral means I’m whole. I’m an expression of one part of God’s Kingdom strategy. I’m part of the “whole” purpose which is much bigger than myself. A business is...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
You will enjoy reading Seers and Doers. “We are in an era where the forces of feudalism know this is their last shot at maintaining power.” David Brin The “manor lords and serfs” narrative has long been a cultural fact of life from the middle ages to modern...From Serfs to Surplus
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...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...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...Leveraging the Matthew Effect
The video is here. The Matthew effect – People who have talent or money or ministries or personality or good looks rise to the top. It’s called the Matthew Effect and this dominance hierarchy has been with us from grade school to the corporate board room. “The...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...The Father’s Heart for Nations
The video is here. It’s helps all of us to know where we’re going and how we and God plan to get there. Kingdom is all about co-laboring with Christ to do what the Father is doing. There is plenty of room for initiative and creativity that is fueled by understanding...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...From Gifts to Goals
The video is here. In the 1980’s I was an elder in a great church that had some growing pains. We had another pastor come in to advise the leadership team on a path forward. He said something that stuck with me regarding the mission of our church, “If you don’t want...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.
Contagious Reformation
As believers we do trade our time, talents, treasure and our very lives for something much better… It’s not a sacrifice, it’s a bargain that we trade for in wisdom to “increase” our spiritual and natural portfolio.
Whats Next in the Netherlands
The video is here. The Netherlands was an amazing time of opening the book of a nation, sounding a trumpet and gathering young lions who are hungry for their own book, the call on their nation and reformation. The wisdom and stature on the Dutch who heard that sound...Keep the Bar High
This reformation is at a first-fruits and a grassroots level. We are sounding a trumpet to gather an army who already hear this voice to reach a tipping point.
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.
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.
