Is the Holy Spirit breathing on a Kingdom trendline today ... the Micro Ekklesia? Could Jesus be recovering something original and radical? Is an ancient-futurist expression of a "city on a hill" emerging that moves the needle in society and culture? Jesus co-opted a secular construct and infused it with Kingdom DNA -- and it's the real authority! Go to the show notes page for this episode at Jesu...

Are you "born again" as Jesus taught? Then you are "in Christ." And that means you are enthroned with him above everything IN THE NOW.

And execute in life and work from your positioning with Christ! We can dev...

Pray that things will align wit...

Imagine what could be on the other side of your strong decision. Could there be a clear connection between your decisiveness and Providence moving to help you? Scottish mountaineer William Hutchison Murray is convinced there is. Inertia = misery. Movement = joy and energy. Is life asking you to make a move on something? Don't underestimate the interplay between you and Providence. What would your...

Pray with me. Here's another interesting Kingdom Prayer Dynamic! ... We can pray for the full-on exposure of evil.

So you're born again in Christ. Fine. But here's something the Snake doesn't want you to know -- you have authority in Christ to redefine and "name" things in harmony with Higher Design.

Catch the 2nd part of this important conversation with Willie and Rachel Scott, along with J.C.L. Faltot ... they bring a fresh Kingdom point of view to racism, the protests, and rioting.

The "American Experiment" is singular in world history. It's not a nation founded on ethnicity or the legacy of a monarchy. American DNA is made up of high ideas -- the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." Unalienable Rights are given by the Creator. Not man. Not human government. Is America on the edge of a Third Great Awakening?

This is an encore episode from a live podcast recording that has received a lot of attention. Get the Jesus Smart eLetter and ke...

Prayer is the most creative thing we can do. It's high-leverage. The Prayer of Intervention invites the Life, Leadership, and Lordship of King Jesus into anything we target in faith. This is not the Zap view of prayer. It's accurate, aligned, anointed prayer that can cause something to 'stand down.' It can also release things to 'stand up' which need to manifest. In Christ, we can proclaim, invoke...

What’s “top of heart” with King Jesus? Justice, the poor, prisoners for His name. “Remember the prisoners AS IF chained with them — those who are mistreated — since you yourselves are in the body also” (Hebrews 13:3). Will we identify “AS IF” with our Christian Family in North Korea? This is a core component of Christ-following. Includes audio excerpt from escapee. Arielle Del Turco is Assistant D...
