The Journey of the Prophet Part II
Part I HERE The prophet is in high regard when someone requires keen vision, hearing, and unraveling riddles then quickly forgotten until the loss of a donkey, or when the results or outcome of a battle is needed. The prophet wrestles at night and walks with a limp during the day. The Prophet dies... Continue Reading →
Traditions, Prophets, and the Month of Elul Part #2

Madmen
This message concerns the Holy One's prophets, who were deemed madmen and at times labeled babbling fools. These were peculiar men. These were men whose voices boomed at times.

The Five-Fold–Titles and Leadership Part II
This week I want you to meditate on what it would be like not to use your thumbs for a day ( try it) or possibly be deaf to sound. Shove cotton balls in your ears if you must. Picture being led by someone because you’ve lost your vision. Think of a time when you... Continue Reading →
Leadership and Titles– Part I
The Five-Fold leadership bears great accountability. No man or woman, when called, seemed to feel worthy of the calling. They knew the cost and said, "I can't speak, I am but a child--did I give birth to all these people?" Anarchy is a state of disorder due to the absence or nonrecognition of authority. Do...
