Many of the things I am accused of now, such as following God down pathways that I truly don’t understand, happened because of the day I lost control as leader. What you are about to read may seem like either the ramblings of a man on the verge of insanity or a healthy monologue from a sound mind. I feel the strong necessity to be honest with you, because I sense that some of you leaders are facing the same crossroad. Keep reading →

It is a time of chaos, and it is a time of peace. It’s a time of starting up and a time of shutting down. No time has seemed crazier than the time we are living in right now. What’s going on in the nation is actually going on in my own life but it wasn’t until this last week that I realized why personal experiences have so much to do with the course of the world. What an incredible time to be alive! Keep reading →

The Apostle Paul said, “It’s a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God.” This is a truth that has actually strengthened my faith because I realized when God gives you a word that is truly from Him, He backs it with His kingdom force. In the past, I had always wondered how Moses got the fortitude to walk into a country where he was a fugitive from the law, wanted for murder, and then go to Pharaoh (who could be his potential executioner) and demand that Pharaoh give him his entire slave work force, which in essence was free labor. The Lord showed me that the motivation behind Moses was his fear of God. He feared the voice at the burning bush more than he did the burning anger of Pharaoh. It is no wonder that the Bible says the “fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Keep reading →

On July 30, 2007, I wrote my first email to 50 of you. There are now 4,200 receiving this email, without advertising or purchasing of email lists. This is just a phenomenon that has happened. When I wrote my first email, which was on the subject of “No money in the bank again”, I was afraid that no one would read it because it was blatantly honest to the point of being embarrassing. I have discovered however, that there are a few of us who actually like things being told the way they are. Those of you who know me realize that I am trying to introduce a subject that is going to be hard for me to talk about, but the Lord said this was the time to share, so buckle your seat-belt.

Last week the Lord called our church in San Francisco to host a 12-hour praise party from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM, and He told us to come in costumes that reflected our royalty. To be honest with you, I was not all fired up to go for that length of time. But once I got there, the power of God hooked me and I found myself in twelve hours of incredible glory. And yes, I was also in costume. We all knew that this event was prophetic but I don’t think we had a clue what the message was. In the middle of this meeting, the Lord said to me, “I am breaking the curse off of the nameless-faceless generation. I am giving my people a name.” Wow, did this hit me like a ton of bricks! For the last twenty years, the rising leaders in the church, especially worship leaders, have been trying to become a large “nameless-faceless” group. I am one of them. I never realized that a lot of this had been our response to the generation of religious leaders who fell in the public eye, ones who had ministries based upon their own reputation and names. In response to that, in our honest desire for holiness, we wanted to remove all connections appearing to make names for ourselves. Little did I know that this would also become a curse. We have all become Gap-clothing store customers (Side-note: The church I pastor in San Francisco was the actual location for the very first Gap retail store in the world). This bland, faceless look reflects no personality, no individuality; it becomes a big nameless-faceless army. Keep reading →

Most people of faith are aware that in the last days God will show signs and wonders. But have we ever looked at or understood what it meant for God to show you a wonder? I have personally seen many of these. I’m not special or anything; I think it’s just because I pay attention, and if you would pay attention as well, I think you’d be surprised at how many wonders are happening around you. Keep reading →

The Apostle Paul said, “The story we’re given is a God-story, not an Abraham-story.” What we read in Scripture is, “Abraham entered into what God was doing for him, and that was the turning point. He trusted God to set him right instead of trying to be right on his own.” Nothing could be more true in my own personal life. I am discovering that it has nothing to do what I am doing for God, but it is all about my reaction to what God is doing for me. This is especially true when it comes to my new overwhelming and profound love for the Bank of America. Let me explain: Keep reading →

God is undoubtedly displeased with mediocrity among His people. He is calling us to the extreme. The trouble most of us face is, “How do we get there?” I believe the heart beating in every one of us is that of a potential champion. This is why when we hear of the little guy making it big, something within your heart races and says, “One day that’s going to be me!” The trouble is, most of us have been told, “Sorry, it’s closed.” Keep reading →

Today when I arrived home I found out that I was written about in the New York Times. In an article commenting on the release of the documentary, “Audience of One,” which tells the story of the early preproduction of the film “Gravity,” which we are still working on. The New York Times said, “The filmmakers have an avalanche of technical and financial misfortunes so overwhelming that satan himself is blamed for undermining the divine blockbuster.” I laughed at their observation, but the truth is they haven’t seen anything yet when it comes to learning obedience to the voice of God.
