Tribe Ben & The Call of the Wild

The anointing of Tribe Benjamin was to be wildly fierce warriors and protective rulers. Their legacy, forged in the crucible of death at birth, required redemptive rebranding to reverse the curse. Well acquainted with pressures, there was always the question of perspective and what power it produced. The right perspective produced power for pushback and pro-motion; the wrong one produced victim-speak and disaster. Jacob lost 'the love of his life,' yet he set a faith

Host My Presence as the Bush Hosted the Fire

I heard that directive months ago but God has brought it front and center with a 'NOW!' We each have an altar within that we build and a Fire upon it we must attend. Both old and new testaments alert us to remember that 'God is a consuming fire.' That fire is comprised of His Glory/Holiness AND HIs Insanely Passionate Love/Jealousy. Bottom line, we have an intense and righteously jealous and possessive Lover who just so happens to be The Overwhelming, All Powerful, U

Why Don't You Ask Me...?

God can speak in some crazy ways: Ways that stun or surprise us, but then we GET what He's saying. Penny Gibbs loves the 70's Hulk show, nevertheless it surprised her when God said, "Why don't you ask Me for the Hulk anointing?" Wait... What?! She recalled that Hulk's extraordinary strength increased rather than diminished when he was attacked and that he had regenerative healing to rebound and redouble quickly. Indeed, that was what God was saying: An anointing

Tend to My Altar in You

When I asked the Lord about the one thing that was most upon His heart, I heard, 'Tend to My Altar in you.' This month is linked to altars. good and evil, being built or torn down. (Noah, Gideon, Jeroboam, etc.) All of these speak into the state of His Altar in us and how we attend to it, or not. The critical factors for fire to burn brightly in nature are these: Structure, Fuel, Oxygen, and Heat. Each of these have parallels in the spirit, and to rightly tend to the

New Beginnings Require 'ALL IN'

In this 8th biblical month there is extraordinary grace available for new beginnings - fresh starts. Assuming you could use one. All new beginnings must start with divine direction and favor as it was with Noah who 'found grace in the sight of the Lord.' We like that part, but as we dig down into the people, events, and scriptures linked to this month, we quickly discern a pattern: What must be left behind. Old patterns, models, relationships, resources, identities, an

Time to Trigger Consummate Thirst

Thirst was designed to be a powerful and primal survival instinct so we would fight to find a way to quench it. Yet when it comes to THE Thirst 'we are far too easily pleased' (CS Lewis) with trite and often dangerous substitutes. For Jesus - thirst was His strategy at the well, His invitation at the Feast, and His cry from the cross. (John 4,7,19) These encounters help us understand, engage, increase, and satisfy not only our thirst, but those of others, and t
