Someone might ask if it is OK for churches to use hymns in their corporate gatherings. Only if they are accompanied by extravagant demonstrative worship, the gifts of the Spirit, and kingdom signs and worship. If those Kingdom dynamics aren't being manifested, then table the hymns and sing worship songs - songs that are to God not songs that are about God. Then when God shows up in the midst of worship if you want to throw in an occasional hymn every now and again that will be OK. Selah!

It is a fact that a man's influence in the world can be gauged not by his eloquence or his zeal or his orthodoxy or his energy but by his prayers - Selah!

Intercession is not a “gift of the Spirit”, or some kind of specialized calling but an invitation into taking one’s God given, Heavenly seat, with The Bridegroom Jesus. ”I’m not an intercessor” isn’t gonna cut it in the last days.

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing. - Selah!

My Blog Post: The Importance of Biblical Worship

The Bible was written for us, but it was not written to us. To grasp its true meaning, we must engage in Bible Exegesis and strive to understand it within its original context, setting aside our modern interpretations and ecclesiastical traditions.

Pastors, teachers, authors, etc. To avoid violating the “safety zone” for your audience, readers, etc., I recommend that, when training leaders, pastors, teachers, authors, etc., as much as possible, avoid anecdotal content; stick to the text or general illustrations. Selah!

I want to recommend The Unseen Battle: Spiritual Warfare, the Three Rebellions, and Christ’s Victory Over Dark by Joel Muddamalle. If you appreciate my content, you will love Muddamalle’s book.

The author emphasizes the supernatural aspects of the Christian faith, particularly the foundational beliefs about Jesus, which are inherently cosmic in nature. The narrative of the Bible, especially in Paul’s writings, frames the relationship between God and humanity as a family dynamic disrupted by rebellion against God. This rebellion is linked to supernatural beings and cosmic powers, which Paul describes in his letters.

The text references key biblical passages that illustrate the ongoing spiritual battle between the household of God and other nations and their gods. It suggests that the Great Commission is part of God's plan to reunite humanity, which has been led astray by these fallen supernatural beings. The narrative begins in Eden, where this cosmic conflict originated, setting the stage for the spiritual warfare that continues today and ultimately affirming Jesus’s victory over these powers.

"It is better to let the work go by default than to let the praying go by neglect." - E. M. Bounds

There’s a quiet uprising happening in the body of Christ—an uprising of Teachers and Scholars.

And honestly? It’s overdue.

Right now, the most urgently needed office in the fivefold isn’t the apostle or the prophet. It’s the Teacher–Scholar—the women and men who carry the keys of understanding, who build foundations strong enough to hold the weight of revival.

We’ve glamorized the stage and spotlight.
We’ve celebrated deliverance ministries (and praise God for them).
But we’ve neglected the voices who labor in Scripture, context, language, and theology—those who help the church think as well as shout.

Everybody wants to prophesy.
Few want to study.
Everybody loves revelation.
Few want the foundation that makes revelation sustainable.

Scripture is painfully clear:
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hos 4:6, LEB).
Not lack of power.
Not lack of prophecy.
Lack of truth—truth rightly divided, deeply taught, and faithfully embodied.

Teachers and scholars are the stabilizers of revival.
Without them we shout, but we don’t grow.
We dance, but we don’t discern.
We feel the fire, but never understand the faith.

Yes—the prophetic and apostolic build momentum.
But the Teacher–Scholar brings maturity.

You won’t always see them on the flyers.
They may not draw massive crowds.
But Heaven is summoning them to the frontlines.

The days of silent teachers and hidden scholars are over.
This generation desperately needs sound doctrine, biblical literacy, and spiritual depth—especially in a world where distraction, deception, and theological confusion spread faster than truth.

The Teacher–Scholar mantle is being restored to the ecclesia to rightly divide the word of truth, to guard the church from deception, to sharpen discernment, and to anchor revival in revelation that lasts longer than a weekend experience.

So to every Teacher and every Scholar who has felt overlooked, unheard, or undervalued—rise.
Your hour has come.
The body needs your voice, your study, your clarity, your courage.

Emotional hype won’t sustain us.
But the Word—taught with power, precision, and purity—will.

The church doesn’t just need another move of God.
It needs understanding of the move.

The cry of Heaven is clear:
Teacher–Scholars, come forth.
Selah
