The Focus in the Jumble The quest for our attention is relentless. It is off-the-scales in intensity. Overwhelming. It not only reshapes our perspective on things, but is a disruption to the very process our thinking is based on. It goes beyond the need to glean a right focus in all the jumble. The deluge […]
Understanding the Times
It’s Not How You Think
It’s Not How You Think And you’re right. That very clearly was as a double-entendre. “It’s not how you think:” first being your expectation of the outcome. Yet “it’s not how you think” also represents the limits of the thinking and reason for the condition that blinds or impedes the focus or clarity for the […]
Processing Reality
Processing Reality In the beginning, the mother of humanity, Eve, entertained a suggestion that changed everything. Compounding the beguilement she had yielded to, her husband Adam yielded to her reasoning and the suggestion she acted on, compounding the impact of the beguilement. It wasn’t like this couple didn’t know God or hear from Him with […]
Fullness of the Nations
The Fullness of the Nations Paul the apostle famously wrote the Romans: For I do not want you, brothers and sisters, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so […]
The Shift and Strategic Alliances
The Shift and Strategic Alliances It’s been extremely subtle. A shift, growing in intensity, is underway. It emerges within the context of the unexpecteds, the distractions and wide swings of recent months. And with that shift is a focus on strategic alliances …. unusual strategic alliances.

Never has there been a time, when […]
The Kingdom Reality
The Kingdom Reality “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” That’s how Jesus announced His earthly ministry. Jesus came bearing the realities of another dimension, a much higher dimension. A realm where spirit controls matter. Where the natural yields to the supernatural. It is the reality permeated with God’s presence. With this reality mired in […]
The Stewardship of Generosity
The Stewardship of Generosity Never has there been a time that I have been more conscious of the presence spoken of in Hebrews regarding that great cloud of witnesses. With it has been the awareness of potent, penetrating prayer amassing from every corner of the globe. It’s the context for a great mobilization and with […]
The Recovery of All Things
The Recovery of All Things When everything changes. When the turbulence near and afar takes on proportions not seen in a lifetime. When the voices that define and determine the realities begin calling black white and white black, it is time to look beyond into the foundations in which we understand the times and know […]
The Anointing
The Anointing The anointing is that dimension, that spiritual residue both gleaned and imparted from interactions with God. It becomes the defining difference in the relationships and circumstances of one’s life. While quite often wielded powerfully by eager, innocent yet uninitiated new believers, more often it is the subtle but underlying dimension that amasses from […]
