A strong breakthrough spirit was on Caleb and Joshua-Number 13 and 14. Moses had sent 12 spies, including Caleb and Joshua, into the promised land.

We are never asked to live from a negative. We are always hugely encouraged to trust, be in faith, and believe. God believes the best about us even though we are constantly in transition.

In battle, spiritual warriors are able to speak with utter confidence about God’s ability. In every circumstance, they keep their gaze fixed on God.

The Old Testament is full of examples of the Spirit of God coming upon an individual for the purpose of breakthrough and deliverance.

David was a man who understood and was bolstered by the power of God. Even as a young man, he knew that no battle was impossible with God on his side.

In 2 Samuel 23, we see a prototype of these spiritual warriors in the stories of David’s mighty men. Long before he was King, David had lived in caves and fought skirmishes against all types of enemies. Along the way, key men joined his cause. Some were mercenaries, others were outcasts. Most just loved a… Continue reading Warrior’s breakthrough for others.

There is an activation I like to do that really develops the muscles of faith by rejoicing.

We can draw out that provision… Continue reading To manifest means to make visible.

Every culture has its icons – legends to become larger-than-life as their story is told and retold.

Grace is the opening up of a new place so that we can live responsibly in alignment with the father, through Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit. Spiritual warriors perfect the art of bouncing back.

In Romans 12:1 – 2, Paul laid out the importance of leading with our spirit, not our soul: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

Praise helps us to live in the right place. God is our inheritance – his nature is irrepressible and indomitable. He cannot be overcome.

Our confession should revolve around who he is, not with who… Continue reading Strengths and weaknesses are a paradox

Spiritual warriors, however, play a different role than Christian soldier; they are a completely different breed.

Elisha was a powerful spiritual warrior in his time, leading the charge against God’s enemies. In 2nd Kings 6, he single-handedly stopped the king of Syria from defeating Israel.

On this journey of life, we have choices to make in terms of how we are going to show up. What will we reveal to others about God, and about our relationship with him?

It is undoubtedly true that we are the passion of God’s heart. When he looks at us, his heart is overwhelmed by love. This is as much true of us in our fallen state as it is through our place in Christ. Romans 5:8 states, God demonstrates his own love towards us, in that while… Continue reading Listening

A warrior is a seeker after truth. We want freedom above all else. We seek to release captives. To open blind eyes and create an awareness of God in all his beauty and excellence. Warriors want territory. They seek a land of their own. They want the city, the region, the state/Province, the country and… Continue reading Knowledge without experience is not truth

Raising our awareness of what God is doing also produces a heightened level of intuition, the instinctive ability to pinpoint something. A strong sense of intuition allows us to take an ax to the root of the trees around us, rather than focusing on the branches. We learn the cause, not the effect. We gain… Continue reading Intuition

Too many Christians have no frame of reference for God. They have no internal, personalized experience or expression of God’s presence. Their experience is mostly physical and mental, or what is called soulish in nature. Because it is physical and mental, it depends on physical and mental stimuli to exist. But the spirit is so… Continue reading Internal frame of reference.

The Holy Spirit loves consistency. He grows it in us by magnifying the wonderful nature of God. He will focus our intention on a single aspect of God’s nature and magnify the truth for us.

God will organize people and design events just to give us the opportunity to grow in the fruit of the spirit and in his grace. When we are in alignment with him, we see these opportunities for growth clearly.

Frustration does not exist in the kingdom. It is a device of the world, a negative construct contrary to the nature of the bright one. Frustration is an admission that we are baffled, checked, blocked, neutralized in faith – by people, circumstances, and opposition. Frustration legitimizes negative emotions, giving them a place in our experience.… Continue reading Frustration

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need, says Hebrews 4:16.

Awesome!… Continue reading Digging out a well

There is no such thing as a quick fix or a magic formula. It Takes real commitment to create a positive transformation.

I have been both privileged and dismayed in my experience of churches. The churches that I love have these things in common: they allow people to be themselves, and they have characters that are strong, unique, pleasant, and yet dangerous to the kingdom of darkness. They see themselves as relational communities where family and friendship… Continue reading Declaring your commitment

Powerful mentors gaze at the Lord with a childlike simplicity and wonder. They have an innocence about them – a simple purity, humility, grace, and a deep abiding love for Jesus that was naked to the eye, a visible passion that ruled each day.

Scripture and Revelation are two key confidence builders in the spiritual warrior’s life. God carefully puts his words into our lives to provoke us to look at him. All too often, we get distracted by his hand, wondering what he is doing. But he wants us to look him in the eye – to talk… Continue reading Boldness and humility

Heaven will always confront man-made spirituality. The best place for the enemy to hide is always in the guise of something spiritual. He masquerades as an angel of light.

He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world – 1 John 4; 4- because whatever is born of God overcomes the world – 1 John 5; 4. As he is so are we in this world – 1 John4; 17. If alignment is not focused on magnificence it is… Continue reading Alignment is majestic

There are two battles we face in any personal issue. The first is to become free, and the second is to stay free. We’ve all seen people who received a breakthrough but who did not maintain it.

Most believers do not practice agreement between themselves and the work of the Holy Spirit. They can be Soulish, led mostly by their feelings, and heavily influenced by rational thinking.
