Several weeks ago, my Beloved woke me up gently with this: Some doors only open with the precious oil of sacrifice. I saw a beautiful ancient door and a hand reaching for the doorknob. The hand was dripping with oil, and I knew by the … Continue readingThe Precious Oil of Sacrifice
In the first two parts of this series, you learned that you are not a human being who sometimes has supernatural experiences. You are a spirit being who is having a human experience! Because of the cross and because of the blood, if you are … Continue readingLiving Out Of Heaven, Part 3
As you probably already know from our “maturity map” in I John 2:12-14, the objective of spiritual childhood is to be firmly grounded in your identity as a fully forgiven and born-from-above son of God. The “young man” phase of spiritual development is all about … Continue readingTime and Eternity
Many of you who joined us for Jumpstart in January experienced tremendous acceleration in your walk with God, your intimacy with Him, your growth and overcoming, and in your seeing, hearing and experiencing the heavenly realm. At the end of our glorious month, some folks … Continue readingSummer Jumpstart: June 14-July 4
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
For your crossing over into your Promised Land and for your miraculous parting of the Jordan, the priestly must go first. It is all about ministering to the Lord and bearing on your shoulders the Ark of the Covenant, which is the “kabod” of God – the weight of His presence and His glory. The people will follow the priests who minister to the Lord and who bear His presence upon their shoulders. Only the priestly anointing can part the tumultuous waters standing between you and your promises. Then, when those waters part, you will walk through on dry ground and will manifest your kingship as you take the land. … Continue readingThe Shoulders of the Priests
We are in a season of massive transition, where old systems have been judged in the heavenly realm and will soon be dismantled in the natural realm. The objectives of this season are to untangle and to begin creating new, godly structures (new wineskins) fitting … Continue readingLawlessness & Lukewarmness
Last week, we talked about self-will and the rebellious will. Both of these misalignments make it difficult to say yes and both are manifestations of a struggle to trust God. This week, we’ll highlight the weak or broken will and the passive will. These conditions make … Continue readingThe Struggle To Say No
Do you know what the word enthusiasm actually means? It is a combination of two Greek words: en, which means “within,” and theos, which means “God.” So…enthusiasm literally means “God within!” As you are being changed from glory to glory, you should be moving from passion to passion, … Continue readingThe Power Of Passion
God IS Love, and love can’t help but transform everything it touches. Maybe you’ve spent a lot of time and energy hating something horrible that happened to you or hating a part of yourself that is not yet victorious. Loving a wounded or sinful area … Continue readingThe Transforming Power Of Love
