"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' Amen" (Matthew 28:18-20)
"And He said to them, “ It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’..." (Matthew 21:13A NKJV)
Father’s Hand Ministries is an international ministry to the Church; teaching discipleship, intimacy, Strategic prayer, love, healing and servant leadership.
Jesus prayer for His disciples starts in verse 6 of this chapter but I want to go to verse 20-23 today as I attempt to share what Father has placed on my heart. John 17:20-23 (NKJV) “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; […]
I am not going to go into a lot of the Old Testament (OT) prophetic but one thing about the Lord we all quote is that He never changes and there is no shadow of turning in Him. There are a lot of Christ followers looking to the prophetic for guidance. It seems that they […]
Prayer, the fabric of life in Christ; I believe that every Christian failure is a prayer failure! I believe that prayer is christianity lived out! I am not saying that it is always a lack of Prayer but it might have to do with how and what we pray that needs to change. Prayer is, […]
Father’s Hand Ministries (FHM) foundation began with a vision. The vision came as I was sitting before Father each day asking Him for one more soul. I was receiving from Him addresses or places to go to connect with a person and see them receive Jesus. I had been doing it for about 2 weeks, […]
Father has never been about power. Man is about power; God is about being. It has always been about identity, perspective, and position with God; Relationship! His kingdom is about care-taking – about others. From the beginning man was given “Kingdom responsibility” and provision. We were created in God’s image and likeness. We were […]
So, it is close to the end of the year and it has been a bit fast and full during the last couple of months. The Lord seems to be bringing a fresh hunger into people’s hearts and there are a bunch of fresh questions I am receiving. Not new questions but fresh, fueled by […]
This may sound like my last letter but it is not my last letter. It is where I am at the moment. How has the body of Christ come to the place that the primary or foundational elements of Christianity are not our priority? WHY DID JESUS DIE? What is the point of being redeemed […]
I have taught discipleship/intimacy in many countries as well as here at home, in many denominations, House Church networks, Discipleship networks, regional pastors meetings, a few bible schools, and gatherings of all kinds. It is interesting to me that I find the same questions no matter the group I am with. People are always trying […]
80-90% of people walk in an emotion and soulish realm. This is the fruit or branch area of a tree. When they ask for prayer they only know their problem emotionally or in their minds eye. So in prayer they want their emotions fixed. Anger, depression, worry, anxiety, etc are what they see as their […]
We need four things to walk with the Lord in the fullness of His calling. We need to know who God is in reality, not religiously. We need to know who we are to Him and in Him, our identity. We need to know what He promises, His provision. We need to know what He […]
The following study was hard on me! Since I have done this study I have been struggling with the change that Father has shown me needs to happen. In the USA we are a “flattering” people. Through what I found as I did this study I have had to recognize the difference between encouragement, edifying, […]
Matthew 24:3-14 (NKJV,) Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” … (emphasis mine) He puts quite a list of future happenings in between […]
Well, here I am again back from another trip, more change, shift and a new perspective. It seems that every time I go somewhere to teach or train it is the same, new thought and new revelations (though they appear the same) happen as I give away what I have. How do I change or […]
Hebrews 11:1-6 (NKJV,) 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things that are seen were not made of […]
Christians are not called to pray but to be prayer. This is not a new statement or revelation, but it is the truth. To be in Christ is to pray (conversation and communion with Father)! Two scriptures form the foundation Lu.18:1 and 1 Thes. 5:17. Jesus says “men should always pray and faint not” and […]
Fathers Hand Ministries goal is to energize the church to be the naturally supernatural entity they were created to be, seeking and saving the lost and destroying the works of the enemy everywhere!!! The body of Christ, needs to walk in intimacy (close, dynamic fellowship) with Father to fulfill Mt.28:18-20. they need to feel of […]
What is God’s purpose for the Church? Are we really judging our “right-standing” with Father correctly? Do we really understand His nature and desires? I think that we need to look at these questions with honesty and reality in this age. Whatever brand of Christianity we find ourselves in, it might be good to rethink […]
Rather than write another letter on what the Lord is continuing to lay on my heart for His Church, I thought I would just put some testimonies of change we have received from a bunch of leaders/Christians we have had the privilege of interacting with here on 3 Springs and in other countries. God has […]

I turned 67 on January second. What does that mean to me? It says I do not have time to mess up or miss what God is saying or doing. I am getting closer to the completion of my journey here. I want to finish well. I want to go out having fulfilled the desire […]
Today is a new day and a new time. This is “change”. I have been trying to get Christians to embrace the message of change for long time, especially leadership. Even though not one of the leaders I have taught over the years has ever said that what I was teaching about leadership was not […]
Prepare the Way of the Lord Recently, while in prayer at our small group meeting the Holy Spirit began answering a question I have been asking about what He means when He says to “prepare”. Over the past couple of weeks the Holy Spirit has been speaking to us individually and as a group to prepare. It […]
The scriptures say that God sets up governments and also causes them to fall… not in so many words but the idea is there. On November 8th the world changes. In the USA we will elect one of two unethical, unrighteousness, and without integrity candidates chosen by the American people to run for president of […]
Persecution –victims of religious persecution: oppression, victimization, maltreatment, ill-treatment, mistreatment, abuse, ill-usage, discrimination, tyranny Persecution is the systematic mistreatment of an individual or group by another individual or group. The most common forms are religious persecution, ethnic persecution and political persecution, though there is naturally some overlap between these terms. The inflicting of suffering, harassment, […]
One of the first visions I had when I surrendered to Jesus was about a prison and the path Father had laid out for me if I chose it. Looking back at this vision now and knowing that it was a lot bigger than I had first thought; than my first revelation of what it […]
I am so moved by the increased presence of God since Sept. and it seems to continue to grow. I realize that God is the same; yesterday, today and forever, but that all else is required to change. Every year I look back and see “change” and I look forward and hear the word “change”. […]
Mt 21:13 (NKJV) And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Mark 11:17 (NKJV) Then He taught, saying to them, “ Is it not written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all […]
The last month has been so fast. I got home from Africa and had two weeks home and started traveling again. After being gone one month overseas there were a few things to be done here at 3 Springs to prepare for winter. Phillip, Iris and Dana had most done but there were a few […]
I started this article when I was in Uganda sitting in a room at night contemplating why I was there. It could have started writing it anywhere in my travels but this trip was Uganda and South Africa. It is now a couple weeks that I have been home and I have not wanted to […]
One Person’s Sin – the cost The idea that our sin, {Sin= words and actions disobedient to the will and purpose of God}, does not cost or affect anyone but us is a bit arrogant. Adam, Cain, King Saul ,David, Moses, Achan (who was just a man in a tribe of people) are only a […]
“Today, what Lord?” A similar question comes to me daily as I contemplate His presence. The sun is coming up, it is 5:05 am and He is in the stillness I feel. The morning air is cool and there is not a hint of a breeze. A few clouds cover part of the sky and […]
Christian reality So Reality: what is the truth about the state of our reaching all people; Mt:28:18-20? Many of the new statistics say we are loosing ground in the western world. One report I read said that now instead of 21% or the world to reach we are now at 24%… In the USA […]
