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;...

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...

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...

One of the challenges of Kingdom Business is staying ahead of problems rooted in spiritual warfare. Bill Hybels pastored a 24,000 member church, Willow Creek in Chicago, and Brian Houston pastored Hillsong in Australia. Both were vital leaders and household names who...

We all got saved via an experience with Jesus. We came from a very rational, intellectual space disconnected from our hearts and God. Then, we experienced Jesus in a way that doesn’t lend itself to explanation or need to. Yet, surprisingly, many believers who start...

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...

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...

The God we “serve” isn’t really looking for servants. He is not the King of servants; He is the King of kings. Our Father isn’t looking for compliant submission from servants. His heart is longing for collaborative creativity from sons. He treasures two things: 1)...

The self-improvement industry offers the premise that you’re sufficient. Believe in yourself, work hard, and your dreams will come true. The sales copy is always, “If I can do this, so can you.” The spiritual reality is that, outside of Christ-in-you, you can get your...

Mighty Men Do One Thing Well, they stay “in Christ!” Sons who do exploits in a great or small measure have the same testimony as Jesus; it is the Father, living in me, who is doing His work (John 14:10). There is nothing more refreshing or life-giving than...

The Gospel of the Kingdom includes salvation, but it’s primarily about becoming a son. More here. The good news is that sons operate in their Father’s purpose and power, they have access to the courts and council of Heaven, and they inherit their Father’s...

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...

True worship that blesses the heart of God is much more than words. What thrills His heart is when sons connect with the desires in their heart, so from the heart, they co-labor with Him to build the Kingdom. 2 Sam 24:24 – I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord...

The gospels record Jesus going up into a mountain nine different times, but Luke 8:16 also says he “often went,” and there are likely many more instances than those recorded; it was Jesus’ regular practice. If you’ve been to Israel, you know...
