In the midst of the turmoil God is strengthening his Church, building people who are strong of spirit, clear in purpose and able to withstand the assaults of darkness. The role of the prophetic is key to the process. When correct prophetic functionality is present in the Church, it produces people who are full of faith, resolute and courageous. Today, God is releasing Hi...

The power and grace within the Apostolic Reformation has produced in the Church an ability to discern correct design and has brought into sharp focus the architecture of the new Prophetic dimension. This ...

During a time of crisis and God’s intensified dealings with the nations of the earth, our insight into the meaning of events must increase.

We cannot rely upon insight that comes from man’s intelligence and his rational thinking systems, nor can we depend on the narrow function of a prophetic order that is primarily gift based. The prophetic has to become a more broad and holistic sys...

"What mage?" Aheam immediately questioned."Me, what do you want with me?" Ariston whimpered."I have questions!" the red dragon Zaira replied."After we discuss the terms with the Earl, and while Aheam looks for the scepter, you may talk to Ariston in my presence!" Tibalt firmly insisted. Tibalt had heard of the red dragons' deep hatred for mages and he had grown fond of Ariston."Ariston's a mage?" Aheam stated in shock. Ariston had slain a dragon and had performe...

Cultures of measurement are often considered to dominate educational practices, to the degree that, as Biesta (2010) has identified in Good Education in an Age of Measurement we no longer measure what we value, but rather we have become conditioned to value what is measured. A clear example of this occurs when institutions and staff "teach to the test" by emphasising narrow conceptions of learning and of knowledge, simply because the consequences of high-stakes assessments have im...
