Intercession – Caught Up
It’s safe to say my spirit can get caught on things throughout the day the same way that a sweater hem can catch the edge of a nail or door jamb. By bedtime, it is necessary to come to Jesus and basically shower off all the particles my spirit picked up on. Intercession has held […]

The Painting Challenge
It all started as a challenge from Father God to release and grieve some unrequited relational wounds. I set before myself a healing year and planned to paint 10 grief paintings as a way of processing, feeling, and releasing these wounds through my safe haven with Him, painting. I have been working a year on […]

Lost Dreams Found… Discovering the Mystery of Christ in Me
Today I realize that the “dreams I had yesterday are my reality today”. I also see how “the true strength of a warrior is in our ability to love greatly.” We can only love greatly as the Father’s love pulses through our veins. That happens as we recognize that His “battleground is to love greatly” […]

Love for the One
God is so faithful to speak to us in the everyday things. I live in a small rural community. As I was driving to town this afternoon to get gas for my mower, I turned on to the main road and there were pickups blocking the road in both directions. It took me a few […]

Courage to Run
We face choices every day to compromise our integrity, identity and faith in this life. Living Kingdom to earth takes courage. Choosing to run with God rather than the crowd requires a daily steadfast commitment. We bravely face what lies ahead as we find the courage to run. Courageous people still face fear. They see […]

Building New Wineskins
“Living Fully Present” There are things we cannot take with us when entering a new realm of the Spirit. Human existence has entered a New Era in history. During this transition, when the entire world is swirling with anticipation, we must grab hold of the hem of Jesus’ robe. We are on the verge of […]

Under the Radar
Wilderness seasons are times of hiddenness and preparation. This can be challenging on many levels. One of the hardest things to accept is that this is usually a time when we are hidden. Not much seems to be happening on the surface. This time is when God gives us a grace of being Under the […]

Moving Out of Spiritual Rip Tides
In times like this we can feel like we are caught in a negative rip tide, carried away by a strong current we can’t fight. Disease, political instability, and the fact that many businesses are struggling create a negative current that carries us out to a dangerous, hopeless sea. At the same time, God gives […]

Everything You Have to Give – Building Spiritual Capacity
Have you ever felt you have given everything you have to give? It’s in those seasons we can feel depleted and have nothing more to pour out. This is when God dedicates Himself to building our spiritual capacity for carrying His nature as deeper wells of wisdom, hope, and joy are dug. Deeper wells of […]

Warrior Buddies: Fellowship on the Journey in TWC and Beyond
God is connection and relationship. This is the essence of the Triune God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and we are made in their image. They made us for connection with them, but while we are still on earth this does not complete our connection needs as humans. The Father created us with need for […]

When His Heart & My Heart Meet
Not too long ago I was having a conversation with a friend and the topic turned to the issue of character. We talked about the affect it has on anointing and gifting, and it brought me to a time of reflection on what my character looks like. About 20 years ago, I remember hearing that […]

Run Love, Run
“Where could I go from your Spirit? Where could I run and hide from your face?” Ps 139:7 TPT What do you do, when all of Heaven conspires against you with the unlimited goodness, tenderness, and loving kindness of the Father? I don’t know about you, but I ran, and ran as hard as I […]

The Beautiful Invitation of Scripture
I have been part of the Warrior Commission for just over 3 years now. One of the most important things I have learned and experienced is how to read and engage with the Bible. No longer boring, dry and distant. I experience Scripture as alive and extremely relevant to me, today. All Scripture is God […]

The Power of Sonship in Jesus
In a dream, I saw a multitude of people at a conference. The speaker shared about the Sons and Daughters of God rising up. The people began to shout and stand up. The excitement of being reminded they were Sons and Daughters of the King of kings flowed through them. The atmosphere was charged. Then, […]

Take More Inner Territory
In the Warrior Commission we make contributions in prayer. It is part of how we function. However, this functionality is deeply rooted and overflows from our relationship with Father. We are what we think about (Proverbs 23:7a). Our thought life, the spirit of our mind, is part of our inner territory. We want to […]

Permission to Have Fun
“Life is like a roller coaster. You can either scream every time there is a bump, or you can throw your hands up and enjoy the ride.” Ben Busko God often brings focus to my training and development through recalling experiences from my past. Like sitting down in a private theatre with some fresh popcorn, […]

Power of the Instead: Heart of the Mountain
What if we aren’t supposed to reach the top of the mountain? What if everything we need it’s at the center? In the heart of the mountain? If our spirit is complete, lacking nothing, then our souls long for what our spirit already is. The things I’m challenged by, simply point to the person I […]

Believing is Seeing
“There is no such thing as darkness with you. The night, to you, is as bright as the day; there’s no difference between the two.” (Ps 139:12 TPT) I took the two photos above from almost the same angle; one in the spring, and one in the summer of 2018. Both were taken on completely cloud-free […]

My Story Started With Becoming the Beloved, Now I Have New Lenses
My journey with The Warrior Commission took me to a place of seeing myself as God’s Beloved. That how my story started, my first identity was becoming the Beloved, knowing that I am His special treasure and how He sees me. He loves me just like He loves His son Jesus. That is amazing and so […]

Multiplying Jesus
Throughout my training, God has worked through me in ways I never expected. I know that my story and journey has been an inspiration, and many people around me have been blessed to see the transformation in me. I have seen God move in the many spheres of influence through me and that He has […]

Square Peg in a Round Hole
Every day we are inundated with images and messages that tell us we’re not good enough, we’re different, and because of our differences, we don’t have value. The world loves to tell us we are “less than”, while Heaven’s chorus sings a different song, we are “more than.” As we learn to explore and develop […]

Papa, Where Are My Pants?
Have you ever prayed for something so earnestly, that upon receiving it from Papa, you ran out of your house with such an enthusiasm to share or tell someone about it, that you forgot your pants? No? Well, I did, but thankfully being that it was April in Canada, the cool morning breeze quickly averted […]

Capture the Foxes: Warrior Training Propels Me To Jesus
Over these past 5 years with the Warrior Commission I’ve come into a new place, one I never imagined could be so wonderful and full. Papa has proceeded to bring me up the mountain and I’ve discovered things about Him and myself, things that have made me stronger, as I’ve had to shed baggage that […]

Personal Transformation
Have you ever spent time in a place you feel a oneness with God? A place where you feel peace and rest. Where you’re in the world, yet all you sense is Jesus? And then the Holy Spirit ‘nudges’ you by asking, “Did you know there’s more if you change your perspective?” Your discomfort rises as you reply, […]

Experiences with God and TWC Impacted My Life
I think the greatest impact that The Warrior Commission (TWC) Training has had in my life, is drawing me into a deeper relationship with the Trinity. Recently I began to experience aspects of each person in the Godhead in a very real and personal way. These experiences and encounters helped me to understand their identities and purpose. Through this, […]

Discovering the Jewels in the Journey
What if everything you need is already inside of you waiting to be explored? What if you already possess the key to your next breakthrough? Recently the Lord has been showing me the importance of journaling and keeping track of our life together. He has always taken the lead and led me to worshipping through […]

Sometimes The Only Way Up Is to Climb
“You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety.” Job 11:18 Isn’t growth wonderful? Seeds become trees, and upgrades become secure foundations to support our movement upwards. Certainly, after we have stretched into something new, we might be tempted to call out to Him: “Hey […]

A Place Beyond: Drawn Into the Arms of Becoming the Beloved
A Place Beyond… As we come into TWC, we are drawn into the arms of Becoming the Beloved. For some this may be an entirely new concept, while for others perhaps something they have been searching for all their lives and can now put words to. Like the Shulamite, as we continue to journey onwards, […]

Duct Tape: Warrior of All Things Sticky
“Spiritual warriors give courage to people. They are refreshing to be around. They have that sense of being indomitable, impossible to subdue.” From Graham’s book: “Qualities of a Spiritual Warrior” I love the line “…impossible to subdue” – reminds me of our good friend Duct Tape. Have you ever used Duct Tape? I’m sure you […]

Comparison Thinking, Identity Thief
CHOOSING COMPASSION OVER COMPARISON Comparison thinking is an identity thief. It’s pretty easy for humans to compare one with another; who is bigger, better, faster, skinnier, prettier, cleverer… It can come so naturally to us, we no longer even think about it. The whole advertising and marketing world is built on comparison thinking. The fact […]
