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
Hold fast to eternal principles, let external expressions of those principles go and lean on the Spirit of Truth to help you discern which is which. Viewing what we are doing (and not doing) within the framework of transition has helped us to understand that transition is actually a rapid series of births and deaths, ultimately leading to a completely new wineskin which He can then fill. … Continue readingThe Old is the Womb of the New
WALKING THE ANCIENT PATHS, BEING IN CHARGE OF GOD’S COURTS, JUDGING THE WORLD AND THE ANGELS ARE ALL FUNCTIONS OF MATURE SONS, WHO HAVE DIED TO SELF AND FALSE JUDGMENT AND WHO CAN BE TRUSTED TO BEAR THE HEART OF GOD. What the Father has waiting for us is well worth the preparation! … Continue readingRuling and Reigning Through Righteous Judgment, part 4: Functioning as Elohim
Have you ever been the target of false accusation and slander? Have you ever been wounded by someone who was focused on your faults and weaknesses without seeing your true identity? Have you been frustrated by those who were quick to point out your issues … Continue readingHow To Tell The Difference Between Discernment and Accusation
If you’re feeling dry and purposeless, be encouraged. You are probably at the threshold of a season of new spiritual life. And, as Henri Nouwen says, “It is precisely in times of spiritual dryness that we must hold on to our spiritual discipline so that we can grow into new intimacy with God.” … Continue readingAre Spiritual Disciplines Legalistic?
We’ve been talking about lukewarmness and its connection to lawlessness, and you’ve learned that darkness hates unbridled passion. Recently, I had an experience where I was able to see exactly why… “…The earth was a shapeless, chaotic mass, with the Spirit of God brooding over the … Continue readingOrder Out Of Chaos
Throughout church history, there have been individuals and groups who serve as signposts along the way, displaying to us what is possible and available to us in Christ. One of the most profound displays of both the possibilities and the process was a group of intercessors called the Golden Candlestick. In the 1920’s, this group of intercessors began meeting together to worship and to pray. Though many of them had been trained for ministry in Aimee Semple McPherson’s Bible school, the Lord asked them to lay down their aspirations for public ministry and to minister to Him in the secret place. They agreed, and, under the leadership of Francis Metcalf, prayed together four or five nights a week for about 50 years. First, they began getting glimpses of the Spirit realm through dreams and visions, which Francis Metcalf called “raptures.” As they ministered to the Lord, He would give them downloads of prophetic songs that were in perfect meter and rhyme. Their faithful stewardship of these kinds of experiences enlarged their spiritual capacity to include their physical bodies, and many were physically translated to heaven and would return wearing heavenly garments and jewels. They would physically transrelocate to different geographical locations in the earth, where they would lead people to Christ and would share the Gospel with unreached people groups. They would return from these trips, too, with tangible tokens of their journey. Though Francis released some of her revelation in teaching form, they did not speak openly of these kinds of encounters, and few in the earth knew what they were doing or that they even existed. … Continue readingFrom Glory To Glory & The Ladies Of Gold
I did an interview today with Bernadette Joy Elder and the Kingdom Age Lifestyle crew, and it was so rich (and so much fun) that I wanted to share it with you. I also wanted to let people know these folks are out there. Isn’t … Continue readingThe Epic TRANSITION: You are Here!
