Joseph-Daniel Calling

Scripture highlights times when cultures in conflict peaked and the power of God manifested. As we face thresholds and increases in persecution and anti-Semitism, there is a need to take a closer look at what Jesus noted concerning being in the world, but not of it, as we more wisely embrace the realities of these conflicts.

A modern-day illustration of how the power of God can birth significant change as believers face being a culture within a culture is the story of the rise of the post-1975 church in Vietnam. It unveils the triggers to the birthing process that results when the prayers of the community, across a generation are melded together in desperation. It points to a dimension of God that pe*****tes and uniquely displaces the intentions of darkness.

The point is that spiritually, we have arrived in a season requiring alternative spiritual solutions ….solutions that go beyond traditional thinking …..solutions that tap the supernatural realm in dealing with the unseen realities manifesting around us. Solutions that ones like Joseph and Daniel, like Moses and Elijah, Ezekiel and Isaiah each became intimately acquainted with and tapped.

In the glimmer suggested by Isaiah’s prophecy of deep darkness with the Lord arising over His people, the role of women, modern-day Josephina’s and Danielle’s can be expected to be significant. Ones who understand this unique partnership and role ….and are not intimidated by the naysayers whose tendency also is to deny the Power. The partnership and role and overriding motherly influence is protective rather than seductive. It suggests the response of the authority of man in recognizing and nurturing this role as such partnerships manifest.

The Glory ….and Joseph and Daniel | Global Initiatives Foundation The Glory ….and Joseph and Daniel Posted on February 2, 2026February 2, 2026 The Glory …and Joseph and Daniel For years, actually extending back to the mid-90s, I’ve pointed to the significant prophetic anointing that operated through both Joseph and Daniel. Each produced incredible influence ...

A realistic grasp of the quantum change underway should trigger a serious response from every committed believer.

During my recent visit to Israel I went to the Gaza border, to the October 7th massacre site. The reality of the loss, the rise in the global anti-Semitic response and the looming threat has caused a shift spiritually across the Jewish population. Soldiers carry Bibles and are reading them. Many are asking spiritual questions.

The Massacre, however, was pure wickedness, reflecting a death cult whose practitioners delighted in the merciless torture and slaughter of innocent, unarmed women, children and elderly, as well as all others …. with gleeful Gazan civilians following the murderers ravaging the possessions of the victims.

The utter travesty of this event was only superseded by the world’s response; shaped and activated by propaganda whose source could only be the pit of hell. Distortions of reality which side with victimizers over victims, attackers over defenders …. propagating lies over truth. It demands a reality check and mobilized responses from the community of faith.

At the forefront would be the judging of wickedness and the voices of wickedness. Not to be approached recklessly. Wickedness is entrenched and cruel. It incorporates a fierce stand against the Lord and His people. It is progressively being evidenced across the globe with manifestations of hate, anarchy and chaos. Honor must be employed in the ex*****on of judgment. Honor is a higher standard. Typically beyond self. It is a response of esteem, respect and reverence for God and others, especially brethren and the personal and societal standards that are bedrock to faith and community. It is the converse of the spirit of wickedness, yet triggers potency in virtues such as love, humility and faith.

Responding to the Season Change | Global Initiatives Foundation Responding to the Season Change Posted on June 12, 2025June 12, 2025 Responding to the Season Change When the season changes, targeting and responding to reality represents a greater challenge. Discerning what’s real; and doing so at the highest levels. It then is maintaining the standard, that is...

Jesus came and imparted a new way of thinking. It was the crux of His Kingdom message. It pointed to and gave access to a subtle reality that had dominion over the natural order of things. This reality was a challenge to the traditions and mind-sets of the elite, the religious leaders. It exposed the darkness in their blended priorities, forming a status quo that had infiltrated and perverted their view of reality.

His message was one of Light and Life .... and power. It entailed a hunger for God’s presence, a yearning for more of this Kingdom reality that surrounds His presence. It represented the gateway into the realm of the spirit, the realm where God resides. A realm that Jesus consistently walked in, modeling Light and Life where the supernatural is a part of the natural order of things.

Jesus observed that many loved darkness better than Light because their deeds were evil. And so He offered the challenge to enter this realm of Life and Light with the simple admonition of “follow me.” That is all it took. His presence triggered a hunger for more of this reality, drawing people to Him. It was so strong that those whose mind-sets had not been blinded by darkness, dropped everything to follow Him.

In Jesus modeling this reality …. it combined His presence, the power, the giving of Light and Life … and His voice. He then told His followers that they would do greater works than what He did …. once He returned to God the Father. He said they would receive power when the Holy Spirit was given to those who believed. Power from on High to do these “greater works,” to be people of influence …. reflecting this reality ….. with His presence and power as givers of this Light and Life.

That power and Presence is enhanced exponentially, as believers amass and gather …. and whether by choice or circumstance, pe*****te the darkness with this Light. As the momentum grows into movements, so does its impact for influence …. as purveyors of this blessing of Life and Light. So it is that we enter a new season marked by the hunger of those reaching for more of this reality.

Jesus’ coming was also tied to a season-shift. One dramatically prophesied by Isaiah that pointed to his coming, but also to a time of darkness that would cover the earth. One in which the Light and Life that His followers reflected would change everything.
