Prayer walking is not about being outside. It is about “drawing near” to places and people in pain; about shining the light and love of God into dark places. It is praying in places where prayer is not common. It is praying for clarity in a place where there is confusion and turmoil. It is a gift to unreached! HOW TO PRAYER WALK Pray With A Partner Prayers take on another dimension when they are joined with friends. Pray aloud – for clarity and agreement. Write down impressions. Find points of agreement in prayer. When there are moments of particular convergence on a specific point, camp-out there. Allow the Holy…

Dear Visionary Leader: There is a huge need today for men—real men: men of character, men of integrity, men that will stand, men of strength. Our world is in trouble because our homes are in trouble, and our homes are in trouble because men have failed to be the men of God that they ought to be. In this chapter we are going to study about a man who was a man of faith. His name was Jephthah. Most of us have not heard of Jephthah, but God has heard of him. God wrote about him in Hebrews chapter 11:32, of the great heroes of the faith. He didn’t tell anything…

Dear Visionary Leader: Will Christ be the center of your celebration this Christmas season?  Are you living for the things that Christ died for?  The Christian needs to remember that our joy is because of Jesus, our songs because of our Savior, our love because of our Lord, our inheritance is because of His incarnation, and our blessings a result of His birth. The central figure throughout the Scriptures is the conquering Christ.  In the Old Testament era, through the Passover, the people looked forward to redemption.  In the New Testament era, during the Christmas season, we look backward to the Incarnation.  In the Book of Isaiah, the centrality of the conquering Christ is vividly…

Dear Visionary Leader: Merry Christmas! As we entered into 2020, many Christian leaders were casting 2020 vision for their local churches, ministries, and organizations. None of us knew that 2020 would be engulfed with a global pandemic. It seems as though we moved from far-sightedness to near-sightedness this entire year. Instead of us taking the long look, we have been taking the short look. Big News! We have big news! In May 2020, Dr. Kenneth C. Ulmer, Dr. Leonard Sweet, and I synergized our efforts together to form and fashion the GlobalChurch Divinity School. The Global ChurchDivinity School is like no other training environment in the Body of Christ today. We can…

Dear Visionary Leader: Last week we began looking at the number one issue in the world. What is the number one issue in the world today? Is it abortion, safe sex, homosexuality, or AIDS?  Is it terrorism, ISIS or war? I submit the number one issue in the world is what we are going to do with the Lord Jesus Christ. On July 20, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped off an aluminum ladder and planted his feet on the lunar surface of the moon. The President of the United States then addressed the nation and said, “The greatest event in human history occurred when man first put his foot on the moon.” I contend, however, that…

Dear Visionary Leader: Do you believe in miracles for today? God does! For forty years the Israelites lived in despair and defeat in the wilderness. They were faithless, fruitless, and failed to realize God’s plan for their lives. Nevertheless, in one day’s time they were transformed from wandering in the wilderness to walking through the water and winning wars for God. He took them from being wilderness wanderers to being Canaan conquerors. Significant and mighty things happened to the nation of Israel. Likewise, some of us have been living on a desert diet and have been deprived. We have not come to that place of full victory in the Lord…

Winning The Satanic War Part 2 Dear Visionary Leader: Last week we began looking at Winning the Satanic War. The word “warfare” is an important word. We are in a battle; a fight to the finish, against a sinister foe with no holds barred. We cannot be neutral and cannot call for a truce. General Douglas MacArthur said, and rightly said, “In war, there is no substitute for victory.” And the victory is ours in the Lord Jesus Christ. Because of what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross, and because of our birth into the kingdom, we have, “kingdom authority.” When we were born again, we were born…
