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...

See It First, Believe It Second A few days ago, I was asked to pray for a women nine time zones away who had a chronic back problem. She had suffered from pain for ten years and was bedridden for the last 4. She was cheerful, receptive, and thankful. I was convinced...

Mid-life with job or business resume of achievement. Christian with a family, nothing is broken – they don’t need or want to be “fixed.” He/she is not bored but wearied by the rut; by the mundane routine that doesn’t tap their full potential or release their own...

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...

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...

As believers, we love the miraculous. Miracles make it clear that God did it and not us. If we are intentional and do something noteworthy, there is always a concern that it came out of a sinful part of our presumptuous soul and didn’t originate from God. The...

Yesterday, we had a prayer time courts of Heaven with our tribe, and we all repented for thinking too small, not believing for the magnitude of what God has for us in individual books. God is raising up sons right now, and they are more courageous, more able to...

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,...

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...

We’ve heard a lot over the last few years that our identity is in Christ i.e., that we know who we are by understanding what Jesus did for us and can do through us. It’s all good, but few have a practical grasp on what that means. Most people interpret Christ in me as...

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....

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...

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...
