Exclusive vs Inclusive
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 [...]
Perspective and Position
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 [...]
Frustration and Persistence
It’s been a while and I have been putting off writing as I have felt a bit distracted and quite frustrated. I believe I am over my frustration at this point and am ready to go on. Let me explain; I am a guy who finds a very strong plumb line in the Word of [...]
Perspective, Position and Promises, Purpose
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 [...]

Strategic Prayer
Strategic Prayer PRAYER IS CONVERSATION WITH GOD. The conversation reveals the relationship. To be a Christian is to be prayer! Prayer changes things and Father wants to change prayer! Strategic= relating to the identification of long-term or overall aims and interests and the means of achieving them. Resources essential in fighting a war: tactical advantage = a strategic position. Strategic prayer involves a cost. It takes an action along with [...]
Fresh Perspective
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 [...]
Faith Is:
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 [...]
