We all know the story…. God used Moses to bring the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. They witnessed amazing signs and wonders, but still had trouble trusting that God would take care of them. They wandered in circles, taking 40 years to travel what … Continue readingThe Purpose of the Wilderness
You have gates in your being (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, heart, etc.), you ARE a gate of heaven upon the earth, and you have the privilege of stewarding geographical gates so that the King of Glory will come in. So even if you are not part of our local community, I believe you will learn what it means to be a gatekeeper and will glean valuable keys to help you govern all that has been entrusted to you by the Father. … Continue readingThe East Gate
Have you ever wondered what your part is and what God’s part is in this whole miracle thing? Have you asked, “Is it up to me or up to God? Am I to do something or do nothing?” Have you wondered what obedience or faith is supposed to look like for you in your specific situation? If you’re asking these questions, you are dancing the dance of the two camps. And you are not alone. … Continue readingYour Part and God’s Part
Several years ago, the Lord gave me a song that has become my anthem of this refining process. It’s called Resplendent Beauty, and I want to give you a free download today. So, if you’re dancing in His transition flame (or even if you’re not), I hope this song blesses and encourages you today. … Continue readingOnly The Fire Knows
Perhaps you, too, feel overwhelmed with too many things clamoring for your time and attention. Maybe you have felt scattered, like you’re doing so many things that you’re not doing anything well. Maybe you have even felt a bit of confusion in your time with the Lord, because there are so many different things to do and to practice and so many different places to go and things to engage with in the Spirit. Like me, maybe you have been trying to maintain all these natural responsibilities and spiritual disciplines out of singularity instead of realizing that, in Christ, you are multidimensional. … Continue readingMultiplicity & Jumpstart Update
Several years ago, I read the book “Ladies of Gold” by James Mahoney. He tells the remarkable story of a group of intercessors who, under the leadership of Francis Metcalf, prayed together 4 or 5 nights a week for about 50 years. Many had graduated from … Continue readingThe Ladies of Gold
In Hebraic thought, Ruach HaKodesh is the power emanating from God’s name, which breathes life into all of creation. The aspirated consonants of God’s name, YHVH (Yod, Hei, Vav, Hei) even sound like breathing, especially the letter Hei. In both Hebrew and Christian mysticism, Hei represents the Ruach, the breath of … Continue readingDancing Over the Land
Recently while praying in the Spirit, I heard the words, “governance, governance.” I looked it up and discovered that: “Governance encompasses the system by which an organization is controlled and operates, and the mechanisms by which it, and its people, are held to account.” As God’s … Continue readingGovernance
I saw Ruach breathing His breath through us. It came forth like ocean waves, like contractions birthing a Secret Place, sonship prayer movement in the earth – a movement that changes everything! Then these heart-breathings began rotating: the breath of the Lion, the breath of the Ox, the breath of the Eagle, the breath of the Man… over and over and over, around and around. His breath through our breath breathed into the earth realm and into the expanse, filling all things with Himself. It was breathing life into created creation, just as He breathed life into Adam “in the beginning.” These breath-contractions caused creation to expand faster than the speed of light. I then … Continue readingFaces to Faces, Breath to Breath
In a recent encounter, I saw a herd of horses…. wild, fierce, strong, fast as lightning. At first they appeared to be untamed because they had no bit or bridle (yoke of man), but then I realized that they were the King’s horses. They did not need an external yoke because they wore His yoke. His law (an even higher standard) was written upon their hearts.
I once heard that, when selecting horses for the king, the potential horses were put through rigorous training. Then, exhausted and thirsty, they were allowed to run toward the water. At the very last moment, they were given the command to stop. Only the horses that obeyed were selected for the service of the king. Today, I feel that the Father wants to encourage some people concerning the “hardness” of things in their lives right now. Yes, the resistance is often demonic in origin, but it filters through our Father’s hand UNTO our overcoming. Every sacrifice tips the scales of His justice on our behalf. Be encouraged. Be strengthened this day. Be renewed in strength and grace and purpose. You are entering another gate and with that, promotion and increased authority and dominion… as you are trained to be His “wild” stallion. … Continue readingThe King’s Horses
