- [The Purpose of the Church](https://releasingkings.com/2012-01-29-the-purpose-of-the-church/) - I actually think the church is healthy and growing worldwide. It is popular, and somewhat appropriate, to “bash” religion right now. Old wineskins are continually being exchanged for new and that process has historically been painful and contentious. What is unfortunate is that it’s hard to put down the abuses of religion without smearing the

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 power is a little like witchcraft. It doesn’t work, and

Helping people to make a connection with their heart and purpose in the Kingdom isn’t theoretical or just theological. Dreams come true when we connect our heart’s desires with our vocation and cash flow. One of the failure points of counseling, psychiatry, sozo, inner healing, etc. is that people are

We usually put releasing Kings in the context of business and wealth creation because of my own personal bias. However, releasing hearts is a Kingdom principle that works in every mountain. Education is a great example. Since we were all full time students for 10-15 years, it’s not hard to recall

The problem is that it chains people to the concept of being a servant and treating others like servants. We all go through a maturing process where we steward another man’s vision and serve their goals, but that’s not the end. Sonship is authenticity,

Their premise is that they are good people taking care of business, and God doesn’t want to make business decisions anyway, which is largely true. All creation is waiting for

Real creativity and long-term solutions are driven by purpose, seeing the big picture. And, the best solutions come from seeing Father’s Kingdom purpose.

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; that we can do it without God.
- [Learning to Learn](https://releasingkings.com/2023-07-09-learning-to-learn/) - https://youtu.be/fiT1LJjHkAQ 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 significant implication. Parents, mentors, and coaches are

We naturally assume personal objectivity in reviewing the news and wonder why we reach different conclusions. Self-deception is the one place we haven’t looked, and it’s a major factor.

- [The Harvest From Kingdom Culture](https://releasingkings.com/2022-08-28-the-harvest-from-kingdom-culture/) - https://youtu.be/MUKS0-ZuNfE It’s fairly common and appropriate to believe that a business should produce a profit. So, we’re prone to think the purpose of a business is to harvest money, grow stock prices, and return big dividends. The problem is that if we put money ahead of our unique Kingdom purpose, we activate a spiritual principle

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, and redoing; bottling

Those 4 things are time, money, sex, and approval/peace of mind.

- [Finding My Ministry Model](https://releasingkings.com/2017-12-03-finding-my-ministry-model/) - We are in a huge transition: from 5-fold ministry to a thousand-fold. Those called into “ministry” exceed the sand on the seashore and the stars in the sky. Why? Because we are in a reformation to bless nations.
- [Just Do You](https://releasingkings.com/2011-08-23-just-do-you/) - People that are really fulfilled in their work and ministry have two ingredients that propel them into excellence, promotion, and effectiveness: they are self-aware and authentic. They understand what their own gifts and talents are as well as their weak areas. Although they work hard to develop skills through education and experience, they do not
- [Start Before You Are Ready](https://releasingkings.com/2014-01-04-start-before-you-are-ready/) - The video is here. Successful people start before they feel ready. The key: they respond to their heart’s passions with action before their mind can list all the reasons why not. It’s important to understand the difference between heart and mind. Our public schools and Christian educators have generally taught us to exercise our mental

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 I'm starting to hear them multiple times. They are usually intellectual /
- [Kingdom Business Culture Values](https://releasingkings.com/2022-09-22-kingdom-business-culture-values/) - https://youtu.be/6AfJsKuCCQo Culture is built around shared values that flow from a common purpose. That's how we know "These are my People." These are three that I can get excited about. Building a Kingdom culture that has a clear purpose for both the business and the staff implies three values: 1) Prophetic Agility that listens
- [The Bible Basis for Priestly Leaders](https://releasingkings.com/2022-10-01-the-bible-basis-for-priestly-leaders/) - https://youtu.be/rBTCvoreXAE 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 truckload! There are dozens of verses supporting each point in the cutting room floor
- [The Priestly Side of Business Leadership](https://releasingkings.com/2022-09-04-the-priestly-side-of-business-leadership/) - https://youtu.be/BGalk43NLAc 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, few managers have a clue or an aptitude for living
- [Build Your Tribe](https://releasingkings.com/2022-08-31-build-your-tribe/) - https://youtu.be/218J8rXzrSs 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 purpose is known, tribes are much more
- [Communion - Shared Purpose](https://releasingkings.com/2019-09-22-communion-shared-purpose/) - https://youtu.be/ZRphwvznZHw 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 other people before we take communion. We think of the bread in terms of

They have distinct ministry gifts, yet they prosper in businesses or vocations. Moving from God’s child to God’s son to an inheritance that

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. Conformity to the expectations of others is not His goal. You are
- [How to Find Your Purpose](https://releasingkings.com/2020-01-19-how-to-find-your-purpose/) - https://youtu.be/ZOPWV1ElyPg I watched a new department manager of projects introduce himself to a staff of 100 engineers. The one phrase that stuck in my mind was, “I am very results-oriented.” Now project engineers, including me, tend to be results-oriented anyway, so the remark passed without much thought. He was a very average manager who passed
- [Where is Your Open Door to Kingdom?](https://releasingkings.com/2019-11-10-where-is-your-open-door-to-kingdom/) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_YS70yDfD8 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.
- [You Can Be a Seer](https://releasingkings.com/2019-11-18-you-can-be-a-seer/) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC3EONQ36fI 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

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 to sons who have dreams, initiative and

While I was nursing a little self-pity, Jesus encouraged me to

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 three things when I talk

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 that way for a reason. They have

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 list of “correct choices” for our authority, the courts of heaven, and

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 speak

And, people occasionally like those reasons more than they like your help. For example, wounded hearts try to lighten the pain with substances abuse that ends up being addictive. Said another way, the

- [Learning the Language of Heart](https://releasingkings.com/2019-08-25-learning-the-language-of-heart/) - https://youtu.be/L45kmHuM2Bo 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 information. Our hearts change with each new experience

Or, have you missed the big picture and your time and energy produced something unprofitable; then felt like an “unprofitable servant?” Failures erode

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 our Kingdom harvest, our provisions

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 practical debate is well

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 up the cross of His will, laying down

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 over us, not just by us. Excuses are

It’s all good, but few have a practical grasp on what that means. Most people interpret Christ in me as
- [Kingdom Creativity](https://releasingkings.com/2013-09-01-kingdom-creativity/) - The video version of this newsletter is here. The concepts of being spiritually fruitful and financially profitable both have roots in crafting value for others via a creative process that is being emphasized in the Kingdom right now. People tire of retreading religious programs that worked in some other time or place, but have since

As the decades went by, Fordism crept into education and management theory in a conceptual way that resulted in humans being thought of as objects of the assembly line themselves. In education, we treat

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 Masculinity. I think you will enjoy both. One

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, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, SA, and the USA).

I never realized what a gift my dad was until hearing the stories of broken families and the shipwreck it leaves in personal identity. God can reverse all that, but it’s not magic, and
- [Strategies of the Heart](https://releasingkings.com/2013-11-19-strategies-of-the-heart/) - The video version is here. Getting to travel to different nations and compare notes with others in the Kingdom is very insightful. God’s building His Kingdom at macro level and on a personal level. At the top there are large initiatives for prayer, evangelism, city-wide and national events and initiatives that address the core of
- [What You See Is What You Get](https://releasingkings.com/2018-08-26-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 gifting. That’s the threshold for bringing 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 say it’s a level of mysticism
- [Going Up to a Mountain](https://releasingkings.com/2018-06-16-me-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 Jesus’ promise (cf. Heiser, Chapter 32).
- [Seeing Your Future Self](https://releasingkings.com/2018-07-13-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 unique gifts and callings. In

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 stopping at mysticism, we’re building the Kingdom. Just like a skill

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 kabosh. Rev 2:7 - "to him who

Understanding “normal” – The “average” career track is to get a good education, find the best paying job and retire early. Kingdom changes all that. Now we have a book (calling) that is, in general, to bless nations and specifically to find our mountain where the passion that God wrote in
- [Creating Wealth](https://releasingkings.com/2018-05-21-creating-wealth/) - The video is here. I recently had a divine appointment with a video on the difference between function and purpose. We are not just created for functions like intimacy, fellowship, worship, etc. We do those things because that’s how we’re wired as sons, but we are created for purpose and works. Eph 2:10 – “For

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 earth. Our tradition is that

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 business ministry “model.” I’m a serial entrepreneur who

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 sit on
- [Overcomers Invitation to God’s Council](https://releasingkings.com/2018-03-04-overcomers-invitation-to-gods-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 of proximity with Him: John 15:15-17 He

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 rich get richer and the poor get poorer”
- [Exceeding Expectations](https://releasingkings.com/2018-03-19-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 and engage us in carrying it out. His

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 jobs. We all come from a long line of somewhat flawed

- [Overcomers Wear Nike's](https://releasingkings.com/2018-02-11-overcomers-wear-nikes/) - The video is here. We all want to be overcomer's. The question is how. The Kingdom is exciting and is progressing from individuals all the way to nations. It’s easy to see the advance even in the news. Kingdom warfare and casualties are also a reality. Even though Jesus has already won the victory, there

- [God is Choosing the Valiant](https://releasingkings.com/2017-11-25-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.

It’s one thing to experience the presence of God at church or a conference; another to taste the
- [Intentional Reformation (2)](https://releasingkings.com/2017-09-01-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](https://releasingkings.com/2017-08-06-meeting-god-at-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.

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 was amazing. God had obviously gone
- [Healing Emotional Detachment](https://releasingkings.com/2017-04-21-healing-emotional-detachment/) - The video is here. When we coach people with the Heart Plan, the whole goal is to help them get in touch with their hearts. “Heart” is our emotions, but it’s also something more. God writes His desires on our hearts in a way that they show up in our desires. As we mature, it
- [Patriotism](https://releasingkings.com/2017-03-24-patriotism-2/) - This video is here. Politics in any nation cannot be understood or debated without an awareness of the plan that God has for that particular people and nation. Patriotism is an appreciation for that national destiny. It’s true that patriotism without God becomes mindless nationalism that is fueled by superiority and disdain for others. However,

What if God really doesn’t control “all” of time and circumstances and He is not the one who authors or authorizes our

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 our purpose) drift away from us. But,

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.

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.

There is also a theory that riots in the UK and other countries have roots in the government providing inadequate care for those trained to depend on entitlements.

Her influence is deceptive, seductive, controlling, manipulative, intimidating, and ruthless. Her effect on believers is an emasculation of their boldness, clarity, and initiative.

When I say “heart,” I’m referring to a deeper level; “subconscious” or “spirit” may also be terms we could use to represent desires that are below the
- [Teamwork to Make Your Dream Work](https://releasingkings.com/2011-06-05-teamwork-to-make-your-dream-work/) - Dreams with a chance to succeed have two ingredients: a plan to create wealth and the necessary help to implement them. People in poverty tend to miss both the money and the support system. They tend to think in terms of working alone. Wealthy people navigate the money issues and have an extensive support system
- [Manage Your Destiny](https://releasingkings.com/2010-01-17-manage-your-destiny/) - Fundamentals – The difference between servant and King is like a structure with a foundation that starts with our heart’s desire. When things go against us in life it’s wise to reassess that foundation. We all “labor to enter into rest.” The sweet spot in life is when building the Kingdom is fun; our heart
- [Whats Next for Kings](https://releasingkings.com/2010-11-28-whats-next-for-kings/) - I saw something at our conference in Warsaw that amazed me. Of the 30-40 people that were saved (at a business conference!), many represented very successful businesses that are already influential in the city. Our church tradition is to rescue dysfunctional people from their sin and misery. When we disciple people with a history of

- [Discipling Nations Starts With Me](https://releasingkings.com/2011-02-27-discipling-nations-starts-with-me/) - Living paycheck to paycheck – One of the interesting realities of life is that most of us just spend all the money we make working at a job. It’s called “living from paycheck to paycheck.” Unions are fighting for better job benefits, but it’s really a losing battle. Think about it. Do you believe any
- [Connecting Disciples with Their Hearts](https://releasingkings.com/2011-01-23-connecting-disciples-with-their-hearts/) - Guilt vs. dream motivation – I want to offer a simple premise about motivation. Guilt can be a good short-term motivation to stop doing the wrong thing. However, guilt can’t be used as a motivator to do the right thing. It just doesn’t last. People who do reach their goals in life carry in their
- [The Next Great Idea](https://releasingkings.com/2011-01-14-the-next-great-idea/) - Creativity – I interviewed Andrew Ferguson, a business CEO, who has an amazing story. One of the things he mentioned was very profound. Andrew has been through an amazing number of ups and downs. He learned that failing in a business is not the “end” of an entrepreneur – it is simply a launching point

Last week we dreamed about going from Revival to Reformation: How do I take the presence of God into my own mountain? We have a mental image of what revival might look like in a church meeting setting. But what does it look like in a business,

We’re on our way to Releasing Kings in the Netherlands and Poland in a month. Friends have reported evidence of revival in England, Finland, Denmark, and Germany. My sense is that all of Western Europe is ripe for such a harvest. Doing business conferences in such an
- [Leverage in the Kingdom Part 2](https://releasingkings.com/2014-09-14-leverage-in-the-kingdom/) - The video is here. Leverage is simply the Kingdom concept of multiplication; the way God does things. Most people work for dollars per hour. The hard truth is that wealth is created when we begin to leverage what we have and develop other streams of income. That means we leverage our money (investments), we leverage
- [From Grace to Competence](https://releasingkings.com/2017-01-29-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 bless nations through us …right now.

- [The Leverage of Love](https://releasingkings.com/2013-06-08-the-leverage-of-love/) - I recently updated my own goals and plans, shared them with eight friends and got back some valuable input through the process. These folks genuinely cared about me and my vision, and went out of their way to offer some practical and prophetic suggestions. It felt like love and I wanted to swim in it.
- [Experiencing Praise](https://releasingkings.com/2012-03-18-experiencing-praise/) - The video version of this newsletter is here.I have often heard of the concept of praise as means of releasing God’s power. Israel toppled the walls of Jericho by simply marching and praising, and Paul and Silas praised their way to an earthquake that opened the prison doors (Acts 16:23-26). The offshoot for servants is
- [About Sacrifice](https://releasingkings.com/2011-07-17-about-sacrifice/) - The world economy is in some disarray, so we hear a lot about paying the national debt through “shared sacrifice” which means the government would like more of your money. We’ve been spending trillions to bail out everything from banks to nations, so now we’re running out of money and we have to print more.

Deut 8:18 NIV Money is a tool – People can get entangled in the love of money, but the honest truth is
- [Managing Your Spritual Risk](https://releasingkings.com/2007-12-09-2012/) - Expectations – Most of life’s wounds have roots in sincere expectations about the future that were dashed on the rocks in a storm. We’ve all been there. Kings must have the ability to land on their feet when things don’t go their way. First let’s examine the concept of “knowing the future.” The rain came

- [Getting Excited](https://releasingkings.com/2008-01-06-getting-excited/) - Stoicism – When Jewish people got good or bad news they would kill the fatted calf or rip their clothes and cover themselves with ashes. We don’t identify with big emotional swings in the west. We like our heroes to be John Wayne – calm and collected. The reason is our concept of God. We

- [When Kings Get Drunk](https://releasingkings.com/2009-11-18-when-kings-get-drunk/) - Learning to drink – In 1995 Sue and I went back to Toronto to the Airport Vineyard to catch an outpouring… there were meetings six nights a week and people were there from at least 60 different nations. Our congregation was glad to see me go; and to some degree pushed me out the door.
- [From Pew to Palace](https://releasingkings.com/2009-11-28-from-pew-to-palace/) - First Love – When I first got saved the feeling of being known and loved and accepted by God was amazing. When I first found a church home I loved the feeling of God’s presence sweeping over the congregation. We soared like eagles in worship and the prophetic. Finding the Holy Spirit had given us
- [After Your Heart is Released…](https://releasingkings.com/2009-12-06-after-your-heart-is-released/) - The Lights Come On – One of my personal delights is observing the process of seeing hearts released into a Kingly realm. During the conference in Ukraine we saw God’s people grasp permission from the Father to dream. For the first time, they looked into their own heart’s desire to find the will of God.

He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day,
- [When We Put the Kingdom First](https://releasingkings.com/2007-08-19-when-we-put-the-kingdom-first/) - So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you
- [Use Your Words](https://releasingkings.com/2009-02-22-use-your-words/) - Affirmations – An affirmation is simply a declaration or proclamation that something is true. Coaching and the new age movement have borrowed the concept from the context of Biblical Christianity to help people change or get what they want… “I am a millionaire.” I want to suggest that affirmations are a spiritual principle that work,

- [Nations in the Kingdom](https://releasingkings.com/2020-07-24-nations-in-the-kingdom/) - This is a short 12-minute video on why I have hope for nations coming into the Kingdom. The warfare over the USA book is intense right now. This will give a totally different perspective from God’s word and a foundation to become a Seer-and-Doer yourself. The verses I used are listed below the video. Note:

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 love congregation worship that magnifies the name
- [A Theology for Conspiracy Theories](https://releasingkings.com/2020-03-22-a-theology-for-conspiracy-theories/) - https://youtu.be/CqsI5lxy07Y 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 led by the Holy Spirit to use sons to

Have you ever been that speaker? The fear of public speaking ranks higher than the fear of heights, rattlesnakes, divorce, pulling your wisdom teeth, and death. The agony of a botched presentation is vicariously shared

The people, their book and their works are strategic ingredients in reformation. Their works flow out of the purpose in their book. God favors those people and work. Father’s connect those dots and impart that favor. Getting saved is easy –

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, labor, and land are all in

Money is really just a medium of exchange, and it is neither good nor evil. In fact, all ministry costs money, so the folks who are too spiritual to make it or handle

The concept of getting in touch with our heart’s desires and finding our Kingdom purpose has an amazing impact in individual lives. It puts us on the team of making disciples of nations and the kind of reformation that really will touch our culture. I want to

- [Fathers and Managers](https://releasingkings.com/2013-12-15-fathers-and-managers/) - The video version of this newsletter is here. The emphasis on Kingdom influence in our culture is something the Lord is speaking in all of our hearts. One response is to focus on the shortcomings of the church. It’s a negative point and I don’t find diminishing the value of local churches or pastors very
- [Poland - Two Voices Pt. 1](https://releasingkings.com/2016-05-31-twovoices-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 some external expectation, we relax and find the grace
- [Poland - Two Voices Pt. 2](https://releasingkings.com/2016-05-05-1183/) - 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. The warfare takes on a courtroom setting:
- [The 3-Legged Stool of “Connecting” With Kingdom](https://releasingkings.com/2017-01-14-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 place of being ourselves and co-laboring with the Father
- [White Guilt and the Courts of Heaven](https://releasingkings.com/2017-02-12-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 Himself is doing something that approaches another
- [Doors and Keys](https://releasingkings.com/2012-04-29-doors-and-keys/) - Kings share one common phenomenon, particularly in this present hour: we are all contending for our inheritance and pursuing a dream. Servants content themselves with the blessed hope of heaven. Kings are focused on building the Kingdom here and now. That Kingdom building process requires knocking on some doors and having the keys to open
- [Listening Skills](https://releasingkings.com/2016-03-16-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 the point of what’s in the heart. Communication
- [Leading from the Heart](https://releasingkings.com/2015-08-16-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 good things out of the good stored up in
- [Choose Yourself](https://releasingkings.com/2014-02-08-choose-yourself/) - The video is here. The greatest trade mark of making the transition from servant to King is the sense of having a Father and being chosen by Him. The Gospel of Being Chosen for fellowship with God and to share in what the Father is doing touches us deeply in our hearts. As children, we’ve

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

- [Finding Your Why](https://releasingkings.com/2014-08-03-finding-your-why/) - The video is here I watched a new department manager of projects introduce himself to a staff of 100 engineers. The one phrase that stuck in my mind was, “I am very results oriented.” Now project engineers, including me, tend to be results oriented anyway, so the remark passed without much thought. He was a

They have connected the dots to the reason for their existence. Organizations or people that exist merely for themselves aren’t worth leading. Idolatry of self is the biggest “miss” in our age. We all long for purpose –

It’s a book that warms your heart and scares your mind. One of the things I enjoyed most was the elevation of “wisdom” as

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: Traditional church has the role of equipping the saints
- [Intentional Reformation](https://releasingkings.com/2017-04-18-intentional-reformation/) - The video is here. We usually think of reformation as Luther nailing a sermon with 95 points to a church door in Wittenberg, Germany. Today, it is often thought of a modern apostolic influence on various church or church growth movements. Reformation is really just another term for the influence of the Kingdom of God
- [Collaborate Co-labor and Co-create](https://releasingkings.com/2017-03-26-collaborate-co-labor-and-co-create/) - The video is here. The precept of “faith” is that when we are spiritually mature, doubt and uncertainty will now longer be with us and we’ll know exactly what to do… and it will work. This is a partial truth (lie) that’s embedded deeply in our hearts as new believers, and it usually stays with
- [Wisdom Multiplies](https://releasingkings.com/2017-04-02-wisdom-multiplies/) - The video is here. Coming up with new thoughts and ideas can be intimidating. It starts with our identity, when we Feel permission from God to collaborate with Him to birth something brand new. It’s a discipline that leads to words, works, destiny… and eventually reinforces our identity in Christ. God usually shows me “what”
- [The Spirit Behind Intimidation](https://releasingkings.com/2016-08-09-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 or the fear of men takes center stage. Being bold
- [Having Fun](https://releasingkings.com/2015-09-27-having-fun/) - The video is here. A friend shared with me yesterday that his business was expanding into several neighboring nations and his schedule was busy, but he was having fun.

- [Releasing the Lion](https://releasingkings.com/2015-02-01-releasing-the-lion/) - The video is here We all have a pretty good picture of what a Christian should be like in the church mountain. What we look like in business or politics is not as clear. Our theological stereotypes don’t work when we get into our own mountain. People in business or the various expressions of government

It feels like there may be no place for corruption to hide. Friends over there are proud, cautiously optimistic, and determined. Here is a translation of a face book reflection from one of our friends who is politically active. “Looking back, we

It can be difficult to believe that our future has this potential, because the recent path has been filled with loss and difficulty and tragedy – all the things associated with death. Here is the axiom of how the Father has

When we first experience Jesus in our hearts we are all naturally drawn to want to cultivate our obedience and elevate His lordship in our lives.

There is a shift happening among many believers in terms of the message that they are hearing.

The next
- [Experiencing Resurrection](https://releasingkings.com/2012-06-03-experiencing-resurrection/) - The first step – We have all heard stories of millionaires having a history of bankruptcies and failures before they reach their dream. I want to suggest that there is a principle in the spirit by which God prunes, kills, shakes or breaks off things in our lives so that we can be more fruitful.

Then we go home with our new knowledge and excitement and it lasts until our first encounter with our old lifestyle, whereupon it evaporates. We have little understanding of the role our hearts play
- [Shaking and Baking](https://releasingkings.com/2012-04-15-shaking-and-baking/) - The video version of this newsletter is here. Kingdom shaking – One of the realities of living in the Kingdom is that we sign up for both great victories and great battles that are bigger than we are.

- [Trading Up For Your Future](https://releasingkings.com/2014-10-26-trading-up-for-your-future/) - The greatest freedom in life comes from knowing our direction and making progress toward our destiny. The leverage to make an adjustment and redirect our course depends on knowing where we’re going. The sweet spot comes when we add the dimension of knowing where God is going, and sense the invitation into the desires He

- [Change of Heart](https://releasingkings.com/2013-09-15-change-of-heart/) - The video version of this newsletter is here. Much of the secular coaching profession as well as pulpit preaching is centered on managing what we think, say and do. Linking attitudes with behaviors and emotions is a popular theme in both camps. The concept is that if we learn to discipline how we think, the
- [Out of Control](https://releasingkings.com/2012-11-11-out-of-control/) - The concept of being “out of control” isn’t a particularly comforting thought. It translates to something about our health or finances or a relationship that has gone wrong and we are stuck in an unpleasant circumstance. It happens to all of us. I also want to suggest that we are in a season of trials;
- [Results](https://releasingkings.com/2013-12-08-results/) - The video is here. Results make many believers a little nervous because it’s close to “works”… also known as dead works. We’ve all worked with people driven by a religious or workaholic zeal toward rules that were supposed to lead to results. The lack of relationship and love in that equation always backfires and leads

- [Choosing Between a Diet and a Dream](https://releasingkings.com/2013-03-03-choosing-between-a-diet-and-a-dream/) - God is graduating believers into the Kingdom right now. I hear many stories of both excitement and travail. We have all been discipled in a concept of holding ourselves accountable to live up to certain standards. Two things eventually happen after some amount of time – we either rebel against the rules or we just
- [Entering Rest](https://releasingkings.com/2011-04-17-entering-rest/) - For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath — rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort
- [Heirs Together](https://releasingkings.com/2011-06-09-heirs-together/) - Marriage is a great example of a relationship where the union is greater than the sum of the parts. Life is all about finding the people with whom we’re called to work, and enjoying the ride. The original couple was created to 1) be fruitful, 2) multiply, and 3) have dominion (Gen 1:28). So when
- [Sowing for a Resurrection](https://releasingkings.com/2011-04-24-sowing-for-a-resurrection/) - It’s bad – the news media and the prophetic camp are having a feeding frenzy on the dire US and world economy. In the US, we tax 2.2T and borrow money so that we can spend 3.5T. That’s bad enough, but every year we spend more. Other nations have similar issues, so it’s easy to
- [Extraordinary](https://releasingkings.com/2010-12-26-extraordinary/) - Extraordinary – Moving Up from the Mediocre Mindset Average is safe – I’m fascinated by the things that hold us back from achieving our full potential.

Strongholds are crumbling and great victories are being won. If you happen to catch a defeat, take a second breath, and pray your way through the resistance. There is a way, you are more than a
- [Lose a Battle, Win the War](https://releasingkings.com/2008-05-20-lose-a-battle-win-the-war/) - Roger Webb went home to be with the Lord on Friday. He was a friend with cancer that we’ve been praying for over the last year. Whenever we have a setback it’s natural to evaluate what happened, open up our Bible and our heart and ask the Lord what we could have done differently. Here’s
- [Wilderness, Warfare, or Wisdom](https://releasingkings.com/2008-03-09-wilderness-warfare-or-wisdom/) - Problems – We all face problems and complications in our lives. Spiritual, relational, financial, health, and vocational are just some of the areas where we target victories and occasionally experience setbacks. It’s important to see “trouble” from a Biblical perspective. Sometimes we exaggerate our problems by attributing them to the wrong source. The wilderness –
- [To Prosper – Or Not?](https://releasingkings.com/2008-05-15-to-prosper-or-not/) - Systematic Theology – Sound doctrine is no more or less that a correct understanding of God that allows us to naturally gravitate toward his will and Favor. Over time we’ve seen mainstream Christianity reject various streams over theological issues. We threw the baby out with the bath water in some cases. Here are a couple
- [Signs Point to Something](https://releasingkings.com/2008-05-11-signs-point-to-something/) - Lakeland – In America we often look around the world and see God doing great things everywhere but home. That’s why “revivals” in Toronto and Lakeland are exciting. God visits us and an outpouring of the miraculous refreshes the church like a cool drink of water on a hot day. People that go receive something
- [Graduating Kings](https://releasingkings.com/2008-02-24-graduating-kings/) - Local Church – As a pastor, I was a student of church growth literature. I still watch what’s happening in that world today. Recently, George Barna and Frank Viola wrote Pagan Christianity? It concludes that many of our normal local church practices are unbiblical and that a less formal, free-form church service will solve all

Some drove 10 hours for the conference. It’s been a few months since our last event and I had forgotten how much fun it is to see God release His people into their dream. Sunday morning we ministered

- [Real Meekness Inherits the Earth](https://releasingkings.com/2007-10-29-real-meekness-inherits-the-earth/) - Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Matt 5:5 KJV We describe Kings as bold, competitive, prosperous, fun loving, and life changing. Most of us come from a tradition in which meekness means yielding our personal rights and expectations to God. We busy ourselves trying to be humble and stay out of
- [Fathering An Adventurous Heart](https://releasingkings.com/2007-08-05-fathering-an-adventurous-heart/) - Roger is a friend in his 40’s that was diagnosed with colon cancer and given a couple years to live. He invited me to pray with him a couple of times and at last count he had been into the local healing rooms (a prayer ministry) 14 times. His healing is very measurable in terms
- [Apocalyptic Thinking](https://releasingkings.com/2012-07-22-apocalyptic-thinking/) - Whether people are left or right, secular and religious, there is a trend in America right now to think that the sky is falling. I read The Last Myth by Gross and Gilles. They make an excellent point about what apocalyptic thinking tells us about America. The topics vary: the rapture, economic collapse, failure of
- [Ideas That Have Legs](https://releasingkings.com/2014-04-06-ideas-that-have-legs/) - The video version of this newsletter is here. With the advent of social media, viral ideas have the ability to travel the world at a much faster pace. The Utopian theory is that this global exchange of ideas would foster enlightenment and unity around the world… I think it does, to some extent. It’s also a forum for
- [Free to Choose](https://releasingkings.com/2014-06-25-free-to-choose/) - What a great time to be alive and have the opportunity to build God’s Kingdom on Earth. Although we can see revival popping up sporadically around the world, there is a larger sense of Kingdom transformation in the nations. The warfare is at a level higher as well, and that feels like great shaking as
- [Ministries of Justice](https://releasingkings.com/2014-09-01-ministries-of-justice/) - The video is here. One of the attributes of God that Jesus demonstrated is Justice. The word means fairness, also having the connotation of prosperity in the sense of restoring what has been stolen, or granting what is our inheritance. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you.
- [The Biggest Kingdom Transition](https://releasingkings.com/2015-04-20-1260/) - 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 our own unique desires and callings.
- [Welcome to Warfare](https://releasingkings.com/2015-05-10-welcome-to-warfare/) - The video is here. This adventure of releasing our own hearts in the Kingdom and inviting others to do the same has led to some surprising places. For example, I’m blessed beyond measure to find that God has written in the hearts of people who do not yet know Jesus. The ramification is that helping
- [It’s Easy to Make Money](https://releasingkings.com/2015-05-17-its-easy-to-make-money/) - The video is here. Fifty years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson launched the War on Poverty. Since then, US taxpayers have spent more than $22 trillion fighting Johnson’s war, three times the cost of all military wars in U.S. history. Currently in the US, about 35% of the population qualifies for and receives government benefits
- [Strategies](https://releasingkings.com/2015-11-17-strategies/) - The video is here. One of the anomalies I see in myself and in our culture is a tendency to focus on strategies of darkness rather than strategies of Light. The events in Paris cause us all to search for the reasons why such things happen and how to prevent them… a healthy dialogue. I
- [Cultivating Excellence](https://releasingkings.com/2016-03-13-cultivating-excellence/) - The video is here. Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm. Dan 6:3-4 NKJV The gold – A spirit of excellence is shown in people who can always find their way through life and lead
- [Having a Right Spirit](https://releasingkings.com/2016-05-09-having-a-right-spirit/) - When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” 55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; 56 for the Son of Man did not come
- [Recovering Masculinity](https://releasingkings.com/2016-08-14-recovering-masculinity/) - The video is here. The theatrics of presidential politics is always highly entertaining. This year the spirit behind the candidates is particularly revealing in the level of emotion that it sparks in the debate. Both sides are talking way more than listening, and have little desire to meet in the middle. There is a certain
- [Personal and National Destiny](https://releasingkings.com/2016-11-14-personal-and-national-destiny/) - One of our highest Kingdom goals is to make disciples of nations (Mt 28:19) and to bless nations (Gen 12:2). Like personal discipleship, the most exciting part of this discovery process is learning that we were created to fulfill a Kingdom purpose… that destiny is already wired into the desires of our hearts. It’s just
- [Patriotism](https://releasingkings.com/2017-03-24-patriotism/) - This video is here. Politics in any nation cannot be understood or debated without an awareness of the plan that God has for that particular people and nation. Patriotism is an appreciation for that national destiny. It’s true that patriotism without God becomes mindless nationalism that is fueled by superiority and disdain for others. However,

One of our Releasing Kings coaches sent me a 10 minute video by Daniel Pink on his book, Drive. It’s really good! His thesis has to do with what motivates people to be creative or productive… at work, in life, everywhere. He found that if/then rewards (carrot and

- [Out of the Crab Pot and Into the Kingdom](https://releasingkings.com/2014-05-04-out-of-the-crab-pot-and-into-the-kingdom/) - The video is here One of the hallmarks of transitioning into a Kingdom mentality is switching our identity from servant to friend or King. Obedience and service do not define the heart of Christianity. The gospel of the Kingdom is an invitation to be the friend of Jesus and to rule and reign with Him
- [Is My Dream Too Big?](https://releasingkings.com/2014-06-15-is-my-dream-too-big/) - The video is here. Over the last two weeks we had the privilege of helping several dozen people in Poland and Denmark to get in touch with themselves and the dream that God wrote in their hearts (Heart Plan Workshops). It’s really a process of hearing God and overcoming the boundaries that hold us back…
- [Relational Leaders](https://releasingkings.com/2014-07-14-relational-leaders/) - The video is here Business schools and MBA programs are typically staffed with instructors who have never owned a business and never will. It’s a symptom of our culture. One of the primary areas of failure in leadership, mentoring, management, and education is trying to impart information outside of a relationship and an experience base.
- [The Corporate Gospel of Chairs](https://releasingkings.com/2014-08-24-the-corporate-gospel-of-chairs/) - The video is here. You tube has several versions of the gospel in chairs. It contrasts the gospel of the early church with some of the emphasis that has crept into evangelical circles over the centuries. Harold Eberly did a version of it at his summer conference that is very profound. We’ll get it on
- [Do What You’re Told](https://releasingkings.com/2014-11-09-do-what-youre-told/) - The video is here From child training, to public education, to corporate management theory, there is a common theme of teaching people obedience. Professional mentoring, journeyman training, and discipleship in the church revolve around a similar principle. The fact is that when we are young and immature, the easiest way to learn is by doing
- [Try Smarter not Harder](https://releasingkings.com/2015-05-25-try-smarter-not-harder/) - The video is here. One of the remarkable differences between people under the influence of a poverty mentality and those living in God’s abundance is knowing when to get help. Those in poverty usually believe they must make in on their own. When they encounter a problem they try hard or walk away. They are

I have been dreaming about using the concepts of heart in the engineering company where I consult. There is an open door of invitation. Now, we have to deliver a practical approach that works in a secular, corporate setting. First step: define the problem. Challenge – Large corporations have a mountain

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. Obedience is not the trademark
- [Identity – Who am I?](https://releasingkings.com/2016-01-04-identity-who-am-i/) - The video is here. Jesus is not just the master of servants, or the Father of sons, or the first born of many brothers. He is also the Lord of lords and King of kings. We all go through a transition from being comfortable as a faithful son who obeys the Holy Spirit. Anything more
- [How to Delegate to Empower](https://releasingkings.com/2016-03-20-how-to-delegate-to-empower/) - The video is here. The practical side of working with people in any mountain starts with knowing what makes us tick. We all do exactly what’s in our hearts. We don’t do what we say and we don’t even do what we intellectually believe. Our hearts are driving the bus. Delegation is giving some of
- [Dreams Discern Opportunities](https://releasingkings.com/2017-03-28-dreams-discern-opportunities/) - The video is here Opportunities come in three varieties: 1) opportunities that facilitate our dream, 2) opportunities that don’t seem to lead us toward our dream, and 3) misfortunes that seem to totally derail our dream and leave us hopeless. Having a long-term dream compliments near-term opportunities. Our dream is the lens to discern whether
- [Goals for Your Heart](https://releasingkings.com/2016-12-27-goals-for-your-heart/) - The video is here. I’m participating in a goal setting exercise for 2017 and have also been dabbling in business coaching. Although I’m very high on both, I noticed something missing in my heart. Goal setting is usually built around how to get something… “What I should do, Information I need to learn, and different
- [Recipes Don't Work](https://releasingkings.com/2016-05-02-recipes-dont-work/) - We have all met people whom we admire. They seem to have it all going their way: something intangible that fuels them with energy, creativity, purpose and “Midas touch” results. Finances often follow such people, but their prosperity in life is much broader than money. They are happy, secure in their identity, and charismatic with

The first workshop was in a Catholic church, and

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 treadmill, and hungry for experiences in
- [Experiencing Surrender](https://releasingkings.com/2015-01-03-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 thing as
- [From Church to Kingdom and Back](https://releasingkings.com/2016-09-15-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 it has a motherly feel. From that nurturing environment

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.

- [Created for Success](https://releasingkings.com/2011-01-31-created-for-success/) - You win – Just like airplanes are designed to fly, God created you to succeed. Most of us have experienced enough failure in life or our upbringing that our computers are programmed to doubt that we can succeed. However, you can overwrite the negative software if you want to. Here’s how. The first step is
- [Like a Child](https://releasingkings.com/2011-05-23-like-a-child/) - One of the secrets to fulfilling our Kingdom and Kingly destiny is becoming child-like. When we were little, our philosophy of life was going after whatever we wanted. We would crawl or waddle over to the desired object and simply grasp for it. If we couldn’t get it, we would cry, take a nap and
- [The What, Why, and How of Life](https://releasingkings.com/2012-05-20-the-what-why-and-how-of-life/) - “What” – Life has a purpose – The most fundamental question we ask in life is, “What’s my purpose?” Even if you don’t ask it overtly, your heart is searching for the reason in subconscious ways. I’ve heard believers say that it’s to glorify God. I’m not sure what that actually means. I’ve also heard

- [Why Children Talk to Themselves](https://releasingkings.com/2012-08-19-why-children-talk-to-themselves/) - Under the age of 10, children freely talk to themselves without inhibition. They are free from the boundaries that prevent the expression of their hearts. As we grow older and become more educated, we distance ourselves from our hearts and dwell more in our minds where silent thought is the tool of communication. Jesus encouraged

Ps 105:19 KJV When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. Matt 13:21 NIV This is an amazing season of testing for those pursuing the Kingdom in the marketplace. Many are holding fast through all kinds
- [Hang on to Your Heart](https://releasingkings.com/2012-11-15-hang-on-to-your-heart/) - The Gospel of Salvation – We all have roots in the gospel of salvation; Jesus died for our sins and, if we accept his sacrifice and ask his forgiveness, we can be saved. People in desperate straits are indeed forgiven and heaven is their destination. When we translate this gospel in terms of life purpose
- [Finding Your Open Door](https://releasingkings.com/2013-02-17-finding-your-open-door/) - In my own life and the lives of all my friends, we are wrestling with finding an open door. Or, if a door has opened, how do we manage the flood of blessing and adversity that goes with it? Many hearts are longing for a door to open. Some don’t even know what door to
- [Managing Imagination](https://releasingkings.com/2013-02-24-managing-imagination/) - A tool of destiny – I want to suggest that our imagination is one of the ways that we discover our Kingdom purpose (aka the will of God). Here’s how it works: imagination or meditation is our journey through the desires of our heart to find the desires on God’s heart. When we touch a
- [Things We Substitute for Heart’s Desire](https://releasingkings.com/2013-03-10-things-we-substitute-for-hearts-desire/) - We are just entering a season where God’s people are beginning to grasp that His will can be found in the desires of our own hearts. That’s how we define a King. Traditionally, doing God’s business was always presumed to be sacrificing my will and picking up the cross of His will. That mentality sets
- [Connecting With Our Heart](https://releasingkings.com/2014-04-27-connecting-with-our-heart/) - The video is here. One of the most profound ingredients of “Kingdom” is making the transition from servant to friend in our relationship with Jesus. God is walking us all through this transition to Kingdom by teaching us how to connect with what He’s already written in our hearts. The transition from servant to friend
- [Wealth Creation](https://releasingkings.com/2014-06-29-wealth-creation/) - The Video is here. Helping people to make a connection with their heart and purpose in the Kingdom isn’t theoretical or just theological. Dreams come true when we connect our heart’s desires with our vocation and cash flow. One of the failure points of counseling, Bible College, psychiatry, sozo, inner healing, etc. is that people
- [Only Believe](https://releasingkings.com/2014-07-20-only-believe/) - We all face issues in life that are beyond our ability to control or even to foresee. Our role in the Kingdom is volunteering to initiate something that is not possible to complete without God’s intervention. Faith always feels a little farther out on the limb than we might prefer. The flip side is that
- [The Lord of Hosts Is Encouraging](https://releasingkings.com/2014-10-19-the-lord-of-hosts-is-encouraging/) - The video is here. When you say “Yes, Lord” to your destiny, you coincidentally sign up for some great victories and some additional warfare. A decision to be part of the Kingdom and have an influence in your mountain comes with an anointing for persistence, work and warfare. In the Old Testament there is a
- [Obedience Kills](https://releasingkings.com/2015-01-18-obedience-kills/) - The video is here. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant — not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Cor 3:6 NIV The media has been full of stories about muslim terrorism. They believe that they are pleasing their god,
- [Embracing Vulnerability](https://releasingkings.com/2015-01-03-embracing-vulnerability/) - When we were in Dallas last weekend sharing about Releasing Kings and hearts, I shared my own stories of tragedy and triumph. There is some fragrance that comes into our lives when we experience a death and resurrection on a personal level. Everyone there was either in that cycle or just coming out. The common
- [Dreams Do Come True](https://releasingkings.com/2015-07-27-dreams-do-come-true/) - The video is here. Life is busy. Our culture doesn’t naturally get us connected with our own hearts, nor do any of our institutions teach us how. It leaves us plodding through life with no sense of destiny or purpose. We use entertainment to fill the gap in our hearts and escape the drudgery.
- [Personal Reformation](https://releasingkings.com/2015-08-23-personal-reformation/) - The video is here. There is a macro shift from revival to reformation happening now. The concept of getting saved and serving others for the rest of your life on earth doesn’t tap the real calling to a mountain that rests in our hearts. About 75% of young professionals are not fulfilled in their well-paying
- [Growing Through Your Near-Death Experience](https://releasingkings.com/2016-09-28-1173/) - The video is here. Two weeks ago I had an accident while leading some horses out of a corral. My memory was thankfully erased by the concussion, but somehow I got my head stepped on by one of my friends… 30 stitches, 10 staples, fractured skull and broken collar bone. This all led to a
- [Viral Discipleship](https://releasingkings.com/2009-01-11-viral-discipleship/) - Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Matt 28:19-20 NIV Discipling Nations – We’ve recently come to the realization that the great commission isn’t just reaching
- [Showing Ourselves To Be His Disciples](https://releasingkings.com/2012-04-22-showing-ourselves-to-be-his-disciples/) - This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. John 15:8 NIV Adding a Kingdom perspective to our traditional church discipleship process has some profound implications, not just for others, but for you and me. We want to bear fruit. The goal is not to simply telling
- [When the Heavens are Brass](https://releasingkings.com/2012-09-09-when-the-heavens-are-brass/) - The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron. Deut 28:23 NIV There are times in our walk when prayers feel like they are going unanswered or we are just too discouraged to spend time in prayer. We’ve also experienced the mountain tops when miracles occur with a touch and a
- [Stewards and Superstars](https://releasingkings.com/2013-02-03-stewards-and-superstars/) - In the course of pursuing dreams and experiencing the desires of our hearts, we all weigh the concepts of being a faithful steward of what God has for us and experiencing the fruit of God’s intervention in our lives. Stewards emphasize discipline, wisdom and character; superstars see the anointing, gifts of the spirit and charisma.
- [Metrics For Coaching](https://releasingkings.com/2013-04-21-metrics-for-coaching/) - I love the concept of coaching at a heart level. It releases Kings and sets captives free in amazing ways. At the same time, coaching, books, and conferences that don’t produce real fruit are a reality, even in the Christian community. So why don’t we measure the results? Let’s come up with the metrics that
- [He Is Still Alive](https://releasingkings.com/2014-04-20-he-is-still-alive/) - The video version of this blog is here The concepts of market place ministry and finding your 7-mountain role is embedded in the gospel of the Kingdom. We are saved through Jesus’ death and resurrection, but the invitation into the Kingdom goes beyond an invitation to church and entrance into heaven. God is inviting us
- [Raising Kingdom Kids](https://releasingkings.com/2014-05-25-raising-kingdom-kids/) - Teaching our children to follow us as we follow Jesus is not a small challenge. Believing parents do take it seriously, but for most, when the kids are all grown, we can look back on some serious mistakes and mixed results. The current generation of young adults in their teens and 20’s are not responsive
- [Resetting Your Heart](https://releasingkings.com/2015-01-25-resetting-your-heart/) - The video is here. Making decisions – We usually think of making decisions in our mind. The western bias premised on “enlightened reasoning” is that change happens when we change our minds. Nothing could be further from the truth. Everything we say and do comes right out of our hearts. Our intellect is nothing more
- [In Christ](https://releasingkings.com/2015-04-12-in-christ/) - The video is here. One of the great keys of the Kingdom is learning to dwell “in Christ.” It is simply surrendering our agenda to be with Jesus and see what’s on His heart. That place and time is the wellspring of everything we have to give others. He who dwells in the shelter of
- [Goals That Overflow](https://releasingkings.com/2010-01-24-goals-that-overflow/) - Fish or fisherman – We all have desires and aspirations. Some of us even have goals written down. Why is it that some people seem to have an ability to create wealth and others don’t? There is even a political movement that concludes this scenario is unfair and wealth should be “redistributed.” I want to
- [Things I Learned in Debtors Prison](https://releasingkings.com/2012-01-04-things-i-learned-in-debtors-prison/) - Going through a financial test is like living in the Promised Land and going back to Egypt for vacation. The good news is that I’ve learned a few things, and the Lord nudged me in the sense that He’s redeeming some lessons out of this season. Kings live and rule and manage from above their
- [Struggling or Strategizing](https://releasingkings.com/2012-05-27-struggling-or-strategizing/) - Why are people struggling? – There is an amazing phenomenon in the Kingdom called “seasons.” When God is doing something, we all can feel it and taste it and usually experience it. I’ve experienced loss, and when I look around I see some of my friends are experiencing the same thing – loss, setback, stagnation,
- [Mystical Poverty](https://releasingkings.com/2013-01-27-mystical-poverty/) - It’s a little surprising, in the political landscape of our day, that wealth and wealthy people are being categorically demonized. Greed and corruption do make headlines, but those errors are more present in poverty than wealth. When we look for the roots of our social presumption that wealth is evil, I think it the lie
- [The Heart of Profit (2)](https://releasingkings.com/2013-02-24-the-heart-of-profit-2/) - If a man is lazy, the rafters sag; if his hands are idle, the house leaks. 19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything. 20 Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird
- [Signs, Wonders and Cash Flow](https://releasingkings.com/2014-07-07-signs-wonders-and-cash-flow/) - The video is here. One of the needs of our hearts is to know that God’s favor is going with us. We can put our hand to the plow of our life’s work for a season, but our heart is always asking the question, “Is God really in this?” Instead of quieting that question, we
- [Freedom-From-Entitlement](https://releasingkings.com/2010-04-08-freedom-from-entitlement/) - Breaking Poverty – We all want to help the poor. It’s a Biblical mandate that strikes close to home. We’ve all been in situations where we needed someone else’s encouragement and help to make it. Bearing one another’s burdens is a real expression of love. Kings should lead the way in breaking poverty off of
- [When Fear Comes Knocking](https://releasingkings.com/2012-02-20-when-fear-comes-knocking/) - One of the realities of life is that things do go wrong occasionally and we have to make wise adjustments. The first choice involved is deciding to move. The consequence of fear is that it tends to immobilize us; our response is to surrender and curl up in the fetal position and wait for a
- [Ambition](https://releasingkings.com/2012-03-04-ambition/) - Ashamed of it, or filled with it? Kings are “quietly” entrepreneurial, courageous, powerful, competitive, adventurous, visionary and generous. They leverage their success to make others successful. Instead of creating followers, they are leaders who create more leaders. The political and church traditions are changing, but they have generally defamed these self-reliant attributes as greedy and
- [Determination](https://releasingkings.com/2012-08-12-determination/) - The Olympics are a great showcase of human competition, victory and defeat. Every athlete competes with the best in the world, with full knowledge they may not win. Yet, they are able to give their best effort toward their desire. One wins, two more medal and the rest go home knowing they tried. Paul used
- [Thy vs My Will Be Done](https://releasingkings.com/2012-12-09-thy-vs-my-will-be-done/) - CS Lewis is one of my favorite authors and yesterday I posted this quote on FaceBook. There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, “Thy will be done,” and those to who God say, in the end, “Thy will be done.” CS Lewis I originally though he was
- [Immanuel – God With Us](https://releasingkings.com/2012-12-23-immanuel-god-with-us/) - The essential message of Christmas is that God chose to come and dwell with man. Jesus was not a “fall guy,” an angel or even a son in the sense of being someone other than God. Jesus is God in a way that humans cannot adequately explain. As CS Lewis said, it shouldn’t be a
- [From Chaos to Kairos](https://releasingkings.com/2013-01-06-from-chaos-to-kairos/) - The rate of change in our society and in the Kingdom is astounding right now. Waiting 2 years for a cell phone contract to expire means watching 50 models introduced – all better than the one I just bought. 2012 was a year of total chaos for Sue and me. In the summer it got
- [The Dilemma of Desire](https://releasingkings.com/2013-09-08-the-dilemma-of-desire/) - The video version of this newsletter is here. “Many people find that the dilemma of desire is too much to live with, and so they abandon, they disown their desire. This is certainly true of a majority of Christians at present. Somehow we believe that we can get on without it. We are mistaken.”
- [Living in Rest](https://releasingkings.com/2015-01-12-living-in-rest/) - For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath — rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort
- [Crowns and Thorns](https://releasingkings.com/2015-04-05-crowns-and-thorns/) - The video is here. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings… Phil 3:10 NIV If we died with him, we will also live with him; 12 if we endure, we will also reign with him. 2 Tim 2:11-12 NIV The Lamb will overcome
- [Surviving Setbacks](https://releasingkings.com/2015-07-12-surviving-setbacks/) - The video is here. There is a belief in most of our hearts that if we are God’s kids, nothing bad will happen to us. It might be more realistic and Biblical to suggest that the Holy Spirit will lead us through a wilderness where lots of exciting things will happen. The key to spiritual
- [Experiencing the Love](https://releasingkings.com/2016-01-24-experiencing-the-love/) - The video is here. Pursuing our dream has a huge “fear of failure” quotient for all of us. The simple fact is that if we contend for our destiny and pursue our highest dreams, we will have some failures along the way. The message our hearts receive in trials, failures or setbacks is that God
- [Man of God](https://releasingkings.com/2016-02-28-man-of-god/) - The video is here. The Lord gave me this for a friend, but I feel that it has an application for many of us. I think there is something in this for women as well. Recovering from Failures – You have beaten yourself up for doing things in your own strength, apart from God, long
- [He Goes Before Us](https://releasingkings.com/2016-04-03-he-goes-before-us/) - The Video is here. He is not here… He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you… Matt 28:6-7 We all make decisions and take initiatives to live. There are times when those paths feel like God is walking right with us and other times with it feels like we’re just reacting
- [How to Pick Your Battles](https://releasingkings.com/2016-07-07-how-to-pick-your-battles/) - There is a lot swirling around in politics, nations and in the spiritual realm right now. There is a general call to prayer and to address the forces behind the attack. There is a theme of lawlessness and deception at high levels of government that has a trickle-down effect that incites everything from riots to
- [Heart Exercise](https://releasingkings.com/2009-10-11-heart-exercise/) - exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 1 Tim 4:7 KJV But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Heb 5:14 KJV Mind vs. Heart – Western Christianity is prone to rely on rational thought as an
- [Go There](https://releasingkings.com/2011-06-12-go-there/) - We share a lot on pursuing the desire of your heart. It’s the key to life and motivation. Some don’t believe we can trust the desires of our hearts due to the past emphasis on human depravity – a belief that our hearts are evil (desperately wicked). God has placed his own heart within us,
- [Freedom](https://releasingkings.com/2011-09-11-freedom/) - I don’t think it’s possible to understand freedom apart from the freedom we have in Christ. Once a man has tasted the freedom of heart that Jesus gives, he can never again by enslaved by tyranny. Our founders understood the connection between the heart of God and the natural yearning in the hearts of men
- [From Casualty to Conqueror](https://releasingkings.com/2012-10-06-from-casualty-to-conqueror/) - Whenever I meet one of those wise old sages of business or management, I am continually impressed by the resiliency: their ability to resurrect from impossible setbacks. There is a reason that they do come back. It’s right between their ears – the attitude of their heart. It’s a trait we all need for many
- [Vacations Back in Egypt](https://releasingkings.com/2012-01-07-vacations-back-in-egypt/) - The Promised land – Let’s try to define the promised land in modern terms relevant to the Kingdom: 1) Living the desire of your heart and releasing the creativity, initiative, and entrepreneurial spirit that naturally flows with enthusiasm. 2) Knowing that your dream is also on your Father’s heart so that you have confidence, boldness
- [Is There a Cause?](https://releasingkings.com/2012-07-29-is-there-a-cause/) - Connecting our hearts with a real Kingdom purpose is a key to Releasing Kings. Seeing our future is the faith that motivates enthusiasm, a work ethic, creativity, fruit, and wealth multiplication. It’s very easy to get in a rut of working a job that pays the bills but does not satisfy our hearts. That translates
- [Waiting Patiently for God](https://releasingkings.com/2012-08-05-waiting-patiently-for-god/) - The first ingredient for being a King and seeing the Kingdom of God is sharing a sense of destiny in Christ. That means we have a vision or heart’s desire… some design for our future. When we really find that place of intersection between our heart’s desire and God’s heart’s desire, life and work and
- [Enjoy the Ride](https://releasingkings.com/2012-09-30-enjoy-the-ride/) - There is a place in our walk with Jesus where we are carried by the winds of the Kingdom and all we have to do is put up our sails. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10 NKJV Brokenness – When we first get
- [Loving Baltimore](https://releasingkings.com/2012-10-09-loving-baltimore/) - We were in Baltimore, MD for a conference this last weekend. There is something about live conferences with new people that is really fun. Connecting people with their hearts causes them to connect with Jesus in a whole new way. They go from servant to King. I’m using this newsletter to describe what I saw
- [From Parables to Profits](https://releasingkings.com/2012-12-02-from-parables-to-profits/) - We are in an amazing hour of transition. I believe it’s for the better. Even though our economy approaches a cliff, as are many personal accounts, something new is being birthed in the hearts of Kingdom people. We should see it and cooperate with it. On a good day I can rise up in faith
- [The Lord Our Provider](https://releasingkings.com/2016-12-16-the-lord-our-provider/) - Many individuals and our nation as a whole are walking through a season when the Lord has removed the things in which we had trusted for the future. No matter what the circumstances are, the Lord is our provider. I’m hearing this phrase, “the just shall live by faith.” The land you are entering to
- [A Light in the Darkness](https://releasingkings.com/2013-01-13-a-light-in-the-darkness/) - One of the themes for 2013 that resonates in my heart is that we will see increasing darkness and increasing light at the same time. At some level that’s always been true, but it’s easy to see our social and political landscape darken in America while the Kingdom gets brighter and brighter. The key to
- [The Heart of Profit](https://releasingkings.com/2013-03-17-the-heart-of-profit/) - Believers who are past the guilt of whether to prosper are currently in the “So how do I make money?” stage. It’s a great question because all dreams have one common ingredient: they cost money. We could define our dreams so they didn’t cost money and we would find ourselves painted in a corner of
- [Our Deepest Heart's Desire](https://releasingkings.com/2013-04-16-our-deepest-hearts-desire/) - The greatest pearl of the Kingdom is the realization that God has written His desires on our hearts. We all reach a stage in the transition from servant to King when we have to choose to pursue our heart’s desire instead of a shopping list of do’s and don’ts. Obedience is a great starting place.
- [An Apostolic Age](https://releasingkings.com/2013-05-26-an-apostolic-age/) - The concept of revival is typically in the context of churches or church meetings. Everyone, including me, is very positive on the concept of revival because no one can resist falling in love with the presence of God that goes with it. Revival is real and genuine. We are now in a Kingdom season where

The paradox in the mind of every Christian is reconciling the incredible promises of God versus our own personal experience. Healing and wealth creation are two of the larger battlefronts. Jesus didn’t tell us to pray for the sick as much as He told us to
- [From Orphan to King](https://releasingkings.com/2013-10-06-from-orphan-to-king/) - The video version of this newsletter is here. Learning to be a King in God’s Kingdom is all about relating to the Father in the sense of co-laboring with Him. We are not saved by our works. Kingdom comes after salvation issues have long been settled. We are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus to

Hearts are being released – People are beginning to grasp
- [We Are Not Equal](https://releasingkings.com/2014-05-11-we-are-not-equal/) - The video version of the blog is here. As the Kingdom of God unfolds around the world, we are watching people occupy their roles in different mountains. We are seeing great victories and great warfare at the same time. Equality is one of the ideological and spiritual battlegrounds that is very confusing for believers. In
- [Overcoming an Orphan Mentality](https://releasingkings.com/2014-08-10-overcoming-an-orphan-mentality/) - One of our primary themes is that the Kingdom is built upon dreams in the hearts of God’s people. We were not designed to serve another man’s dream indefinitely. It can be good for a learning season to serve under tutors and governors, but Jesus eventually leads into our own heart’s motivations, or we languish
- [Pressure](https://releasingkings.com/2014-08-09-1298/) - The video is here. There are a multitude of crises that feel totally out of control… Ukraine, the Middle East, our southern border. Putin feels like Hitler. Isis feels like Nazi Germany in the genocide of non-converts. Leaders talk more of appeasement than justice. Two high profile pastors committed suicide shortly after Robin Williams, and
- [Kings Leverage Purpose](https://releasingkings.com/2016-03-07-kings-leverage-purpose/) - The video is here. We all have personal needs and face difficult circumstances… relationships, finances, rejection, etc. Much of the time we can simply go to our Father and ask, and we get the answer. As we mature in the Kingdom our lives start having more impact and the level of warfare increases. We can

In spite of turmoil around the world, the Kingdom of God is moving forward in amazing ways. I’m thankful for God’s invitation into the Kingdom. He bought my ticket and He is the author of our
- [What’s on God’s Heart?](https://releasingkings.com/2014-12-28-whats-on-gods-heart/) - The video is here. This is a time when we all think about goals and resolutions for 2015. Having some extra time over the holidays, I decided to start the process and wasn’t getting anything too exciting. So, I asked God, “What is on your heart?” What follows is the conversation, not the last word
- [How to Change Your Mind](https://releasingkings.com/2015-06-08-how-to-change-your-mind/) - The video is here A friend put me unto a concept by Carolyn Leaf and her book, Switch on Your Brain.

The concept of neuroplasticity

One of the greatest paradoxes of human behavior is embraced by this quote from Emily Dickenson, made popular in a song by Selena Gomez. Our most important decisions about romance, vocation and purchases are always in tension between our intellect and our hearts. We decide without thinking based on the desires
- [Releasing Angels](https://releasingkings.com/2015-12-22-releasing-angels/) - The video is here. One of the most challenging things about being prophetic and sharing God’s heart is heartbreak. When we know something about the future, and it gets deferred or changed, the disappointment can make our heart sick (Pro 13:12). In the very same way, a longing fulfilled is a tree of life… a
- [Apostolic Fathers and Mandates](https://releasingkings.com/2017-01-20-apostolic-fathers-and-mandates/) - 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.
