The Gift Within and the Gift Upon

Teaching: The Two Dimensions of the Spirit’s Power
The Holy Spirit operates in two distinct but harmonious ways in the life of a believer: within and upon.
The Spirit within is the indwelling presence of God given for your personal growth, strength, and fellowship. Jesus said it would be “a well of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14). That inner anointing teaches you, comforts you, and empowers you to live in health and peace every day.

🍷 Alcohol, Wine, and the Christian Witness
A Word for the Latter Rain Generation
Every generation faces questions that test its convictions, and this is one of them: Can a Christian drink alcohol — even a little?
The body of Christ has wrestled with this question for centuries, and opinions range from total abstinence to cautious moderation. But the real question for those of us walking in the Latter Rain season is not simply Can I? — it’s Should I?

Authority Under Direction
Balancing Faith, Revelation, and Obedience
Introduction
In every generation, the question resurfaces: Do believers have authority over storms, weather, and the natural world around them?
Jesus clearly demonstrated His command over creation when He rebuked the wind and said, “Peace, be still,” and the sea became calm (Mark 4:39). He also extended authority to His followers, declaring, “Behold, I give you authority over all the power of the enemy” (Luke 10:19).
Yet Scripture never shows every disciple using this authority to calm storms. The pattern of the Word reveals that divine power must always be exercised under direction, not as an independent act of will.
Authority That Flows From the Head
Authority belongs to Christ the Head, and believers operate as His Body. It is delegated, not possessed outright. The Word of Faith teachers—Kenneth E. Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Charles Capps, and others—emphasize this truth consistently: believers have real authority in Christ, but it functions only through revelation and obedience.

Did People Try to Use Jesus to Get Ahead Politically?
Yes—at several points in Scripture, people did try to use Jesus for political purposes. But every time, He refused that role. Let’s look at it clearly and biblically.
1. After the Feeding of the 5,000 (John 6:14–15)
“When the people saw the sign that He had done, they said, ‘This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world.’
Jesus, perceiving then that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself.”
Context:
The crowd wanted to crown Him as a political messiah—someone who would overthrow Rome and restore Israel’s national glory. But Jesus withdrew. He refused to let His ministry become a tool of nationalism or rebellion. His kingdom would not be built on political force, but on truth and transformation.

Dear Prophet,
I know your heart carries a history that few understand. You were marked by God long before the trend of the prophetic became popular, before conferences filled with banners and catchphrases. In the early 90’s, when the Spirit was stirring a wave, you carried something genuine—yet in the rush, many in the church could not discern between the true and the sensational. That confusion left you bruised, pushed to the sidelines by the very ones you hoped would recognize the Lord’s deposit in you.
Rick Joyner often reminded us that the greatest danger to prophets is not rejection, but isolation. Wounded prophets are tempted to retreat, because their pain makes solitude feel safer than misunderstanding. And yet, the enemy knows that a hidden watchman, silenced by hurt, is a city left unwarned. Your difference is not a defect—it is the evidence of your calling. Prophets will always feel out of step, because they hear a rhythm from eternity that the earth has not yet learned to dance to.
