This cruciform hermeneutic is in the shape of the cross. We are seeing things through the lens of the significance of the sacrifice of Christ. In the language we've been given of the new and old wineskin, we're understanding that the wineskin is also cruciform! All pointing to the magnificence of the laying down of His life!

The Homestead Mobile - October 30th, 2026

We are predestined for adoption! Which means two things happened before the foundation of the world was formed - He was the lamb that was slain and you and I were adopted! We now get to take a journey with Him until we come into the fullness of the intended expression that had already been predestined!

The Homestead Mobile - October 11th, 2026

We are predestined to be conformed into the image of the Son. This is not a vague or undefined calling, but a specific purpose rooted in God's intention for us in Christ. As our Christology is elevated, we begin to see theosis through the person of Jesus!

The Homestead Mobile - October 7th, 2026

Renewal is not a movement away from the theological journey that we've been on - renewal is us inheriting more grace to continue the process of going into the theological metamorphosis we need. So that we both see the Father correctly and then become agents of seeing Him revealed to the culture at large!

The Homestead Mobile - October 1st, 2026

If there is a higher Christology, then it stands to reason there could also be a lower one. However, when our Christology is properly placed at its highest level, it cures the heart of being focused on anything but Christ! That's what this level of renewal is calling us into - more of Him!

The Homestead Mobile - September 25th, 2026

This metamorphosis that we're designed for causes an overarching attitude adjustment that is rooted in high Christology. To have the mind of Christ is to in essence manifest an attitude that is likened unto not just doing the right thing for the rights sake - but doing the right thing because that's what is in our hearts to do!

In this episode, Damon Thompson reflects on 30 years of ministry, the journey God has led him through, and the lessons learned along the way!

Kingdom Conversations - Episode 16

In this journey of theosis and what we have termed as "Christification", we are beginning to learn how important it is for us to understand what becoming is in the framework of community. We are becoming more enlightened on how necessary it is for us to become together - the way the Father has intended and desired!

The Homestead Mobile - August 21st, 2026

The body of Christ should function in such a way that everyone recognizes and values the uniqueness of what each individual has been given. When we recognize the value of one another's gifts, we become joined and properly fitted together, allowing the body of Christ to function as it was intended and designed to function. Regardless of the gift we have been given, Scripture makes it clear that every gift is valuable, unique, and ultimately given by God.

The Homestead Mobile - August 14th, 2026

Will you ever fully give yourself to seeking someone you do not fully trust? Living in authentic trust generates diligent seeking. Trust has a significant impact on the way we seek Him.

Matthew 8. His desire is much stronger than my feelings that I am undesirable. He is giving you His perspective instead of a leper consciousness.

Matthew 8. He finds us desirable and He chooses to love us even when we feel like everything in us is falling apart. Come out of agreement with every lie that says, "I know He can but will He?"

What is the purpose of the wilderness? Abba ensures that what you used to be a slave to will never chase you again. There are aspects of His countenance reserved for the man that would dare to be still. Vulnerability may be more valuable to leading others into beloved identity than every other leadership quality and gifting combined.

God wants to overwhelm you by the kindness and goodness of His love. There is an intimacy we are being invited into in the year 2020 that is going to test everything we think we know about beloved identity. He is going to put us in the oil of beloved identity and we are going to experience a renewal that never ends.

Begin to experience a lifestyle of renewal that gives you permission to never have to be resuscitated back to life again.

Learn to live in a state of renewal by continually yielding to submersion in the oil that brings tenderness.

Hebrews 4. I am resting from the futility of my own efforts. Nothing in your life can legally be called "success" if it was not accomplished through rest. Come into a degree of trust that believes He cares for you and then you will come into a place of confident rest.

What if "caring" is as significant a part of Yahweh's nature as His omnipotence is? Few struggle with believing that He "can" do something or has the ability to accomplish something, but many struggle with believing that He actually cares. What if He cares to the same degree that He can?

Finish the Exchange.

The vulnerability of fathers holds the key for future generations to live in liberty and exclusivity. Leaders often try to project an image rather than be a reflection of an image. Projecting an image of success is keeping us from an alignment that can actually transform the darkness of the culture around us.

Five Year Anniversary of Carolina Revival. What I have experienced in the past is of such immense value that I am unwilling to stop with the measure I am currently in possession of.

The principle role of fathers in our day is to create cultures and environments that permit a degree of expression that is equal to the story.

Ezekiel 47.

Romans 8

The Obligations of a Kinsman Redeemer.

Matthew 6. Jesus talks about money more than He talks about heaven and hell combined. All of His teaching about money is actually trying to teach us about faith. It may be that what you do with your money, how you think about your money and how you worry about money tells you a lot about where you are at with your faith.

Isaiah 35. Psalm 1. Daniel 6. If you are going to re-identify the world around you, Yahweh is going to re-identify the world within you.

The reality of being co-resurrected. When God's glory raised Jesus from the dead He raised me too.

First Wednesday at Celebration Church in Clovis, California.

Do you feel fully accepted by Abba? We must believe we are so accepted by the Father that there are no restraints when it comes to pursuing spiritual realities. The fear of never measuring up is being swallowed up by the Abba reality.

Yahweh will make you identify yourself based on what He says about you even if you cannot see it. Beloved identity generates impossible dreams.

We manifest a measure of light that is a witness that we have inherited an unheard of definition of life.

Begin to live your life in light of the impact that should be had on future generations. Saul experienced authority that lasted throughout his lifetime; David established a dynasty and throne that the Christ sits upon forever. When you understand the difference between destiny and dynasty you will begin to live to leave something that lives far beyond yourself.

We enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise.

Colossians 2. If you do not understand that you are complete in Christ you will end up striving for perfectionism and call it holiness.

Luke 22. Right before Peter uses his sword to cut off the ear of Malchus, which was contrary to the will of Jesus, he fails in the place of devotion. When we are losing in the place of devotion we demand to use our swords and consequently cut off the ear of people who need to experience the love of God.

The Father is calling you out of delusional thought processes and is releasing a grace for you to disagree with inferior realities that you have agreed with in the past. Refuse to be offended over the stories in your life where it looks like He wasn't just.

2 Kings 6. Necessary transgenerational consciousness. Rather than using a single life-time as a unit of measurement for both planning and success, what if we let Yahweh teach us His plan that promotes a way of thinking where we begin to make decisions based on the impact those choices will have on future generations.

John 9. Who you are is more important than what you are called to do. Jesus wants you to see everything through the lens of beloved identity. His name is not "Judge" and you are not in a courtroom. His name is "Abba" and you are home. The Father is calling you out of fatherlessness.

Take heed therefore how you hear. What we do with what we hear in 2019 is going to determine what we see in 2020. When we hear a word from the Lord like this we have to be cautious because the first thing He says to you might be the last thing you wanted to hear. Often the last thing you want to hear is the very thing that is necessary for you to inherit vision.

How many Christians in America have a consistent space of time in their day where they simply sit in the presence of the Lord? I think we would be disappointed at the percentage. Motion is easier than stillness. Many have called being still lazy but in reality it is actually far more difficult to be still and remain than to be in motion.

The Triumphal Entry. Matthew 21. Jesus chooses to allow Himself to be carried by the wild and peculiar ones into unprecedented degrees of victory and triumph. Yahweh needs generations that will together allow themselves to be untied from systems by the apostolic.

Philippians 4. Anointing, Presence, Glory.

Luke 15. How many years have we wasted believing our job was to keep our own robe clean? You are being re-identified. You have seen yourself as failing to keep your own robe clean when the goal all along was really for you to simply say, "yes" to the Father's robe.

Romans 14:17. For the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

A flood of a revolution of righteousness is coming to us this fall season. Fathers are becoming conscious of generational legacy rather than personal destiny and as a result are coming into a place of rest on a mountain called "the curse reversed."

Our issue is not storms, our issue is drought. Storms reveal the rainbow that re-roots us in the promises of God, but drought will keep you from ever being rooted. When you really begin to believe the promises of God, you begin to dance in the rain of the storm you used to be afraid of.

Noah was a righteous man and as result he walked in close fellowship with God. He spent around 80 years building an ark that only 8 people would end up being on when the flood came, but those 8 people carried within them everything necessary to establish a new culture in the earth.

Luke 14. The poor were invited to the great feast because they were void of an inferior definition of prosperity. The blind were invited because they were void of an inferior definition of vision. The disabled were void of an inferior definition of might and production. The lonely were void of inferior relationships and the hurting were void of an inferior definition of wholeness. To end up at Yeshua's great feast requires an admittance of the poverty we have outside of His Presence.

Put on the full armor of God. I do not want any armor on me that isn't on Him. He is giving you grace to let the old armor melt off and to quit seeing yourself as susceptible and to surrender to being vulnerable.

What if the great feast Jesus spoke of in Luke 14 is actually an invitation into a currently accessible and intended Biblical Christianity rather than a teaser for a far off and futuristic heaven? What if joy unspeakable and full of glory is available in the King's presence RIGHT NOW?

The earth was designed to shift by people encountering the Christ, not by people encountering your church. The disastrous result of the franchise-based current church growth model is that there is no where for people to go when they need a Bible-sized encounter. I believe God is raising up small companies that are by way of honor being permitted to steward an atmosphere that embraces a degree of presence ideally suited for the poor, outcast, handicapped and blind. Our children are beginning to be exposed to Bible-sized encounters and are growing up realizing that nothing is impossible.

A revelation of righteousness carries within itself the ability for us to live as the antithesis of who we were before being planted as an oak of righteousness by the Lord. Righteousness essentially means "poor no more." We are no longer broken hearted and we have been liberated from every prison. Righteousness is an official end to a life of mourning and despair. Your ashes do not glorify God and they insult your crown.

Part Two. We have spent four years saying, "yes" and we are going to spend the next ten years watching what it looks like when Yahweh says, "yes" to us. The Lord spoke to me on 8/8/18 and said, "Today it begins." Between 8/8/18 and 8/8/28 will be the greatest ten years for the advance of the gospel of the Kingdom in the Americas that we have ever seen in history. A decade of outpouring has begun.

Part One. We are stewarding an atmosphere that releases an encounter that permits an authority for reclamation. When you have a significant enough encounter with His presence, it answers your questions concerning His nature. His nature is the guarantee that your future is secure.

The glory has overwhelmingly convinced us of His goodness. For 4 years now He has been teaching us in revival about His goodness. He has been hiding us in the cleft of the rock and letting new dimensions of His goodness pass us by. Are you asking Him for a goodness that veils you from people in order that you may get as fully connected to Him as you were designed to be?

Isaiah 35. This past week I surprised my wife with a trip to the Magnolia Market at the Silos in Waco, TX. For those of you that do not know, there is a couple named Chip and Joanna Gaines that have a popular TV show about flipping houses in Waco, TX. While on this trip I had no idea the Holy Spirit was going to show me some significant things about the culture of the Kingdom we are cultivating here in Carolina.

In Acts 3 Peter and John went up together to the Beautiful Gate and encountered a man crippled from birth. This story is a prophetic picture of a what happens when people have a collision with a revelation of beloved identity. When a revelation of who Jesus is comes together with a revelation of beloved identity disabilities become abilities.

Religion creates a culture of methods and as a result we have exchanged manifestations for these methods. Genuine transformation must be authenticated by way of having at its foundation a devotional ascent. Behavior modification is an inheritance of permission to ascend in devotion and devotion will modify behavior 100% of the time. If modified behavior comes as a consequence of methods or strategies you will live the rest of your life trying to maintain your modified behavior. Jesus never came to simply modify your behavior; He came to give you permission to murder the person that used to behave that way.

What if every moment is sacred? What if just me breathing is holy? I am so exclusively His that everything I do and everywhere I go is holy, holy, holy. Me laughing is worship. When I used to think of honoring my Presence encounter, I thought that it meant don't lose it. But remember the parable of the talents? Steward the One you have encountered to such a degree that you now actually generate encounters.

The encounter created a perspective. The perspective shaped a value system and that value system generated both its own sound and language. Language creates culture and the culture of the Kingdom has its own language. The more we surrender to exclusivity the more we inherit the language that creates a culture.

Has loss caused you to settle for an inferior mountain? Never let what you lost keep you from what you were designed to redeem. Instead of weeping over what we lost, rejoice over what still remains and receive the grace to believe again.

Don't ask God one more question until you have asked Him about your devotional inconsistency. Do not ask Him about your ministry or your future. Do not ask Him about your health, finances, your destiny or your dreams until you have dealt with this one underlying issue that absolutely uproots everything else: devotional inconsistency. It is time for you to finally say "yes" to the death that generates the resurrection life that takes you into a degree of devotion like you have not ever known before.

Father's Day 2018. Matthew 9.

There is no tribe of "Joseph" although he was possibly the most significant son of Jacob. However, two tribes of Israel are named after Joseph's sons. A man that has walked the way of the wilderness and is sufficiently conquered in beloved identity has no interest in naming anything after himself. I refuse to allow my own name to become a brand in ministry. Only slaves have brands. Rather than becoming a brand, I would rather become a father. I would rather have double and it show up in the next generation and be named after my sons.

"As Pharaoh approached, the people of Israel looked up and panicked when they saw the Egyptians overtaking them. They cried out to the Lord, and they said to Moses, 'Why did you bring us out here to die in the wilderness?'"

Grace does not create distance between you and your slavery, grace comes to annihilate anything that would dare to hold the child of the Most High God captive.

If you cannot simplify your life, your focus will never be single. When we give ourselves to a simple lifestyle it begins to give us grace for singleness of focus. Go back to the real, basic, simple and singular obsession with tending the fire and see if God won't cause everything else to fall into place.

John 9. A significant encounter births a supernatural transformation. As a result of an unexplainable change in us, religion rejects people who don't see things their way. If we do not find fathers during this rejection, it most often generates bitterness when the rejection was actually intended to permit in us an uncommon longing. The journey into wholeness will not go as it is intended to until the seeker has received the invaluable grace to throw himself at the feet of Jesus.

Re-gripped. I've done submission but I've yet to do surrender and I am ready to go from submission to surrender. Do you want a covering? Do you just want protection? Do you just want health and prosperity? Or do you want to be gripped to a degree that nothing else matters anymore but to do everything I can to make sure I never escape His grip. As a friend of God, I want to be gripped in a way I have not ever been gripped before.

"So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her." What have we settled for as leaders because our impoverished longings would not enable us to linger? What we have settled for is not what we started out longing for.

All of them were united in prayer, gripped with one passion, interceding night and day.

If only. If only. If only. It is time to drag our "if only" into the presence of the Lord. If only I had been born into a different family. If only my parent had not died prematurely. If only I didn't struggle with my image. If only my husband had not left me. If only Jesus had intervened. He is saying to you, "If you can dare to stare at Me in the middle of your 'if only' you will see that this story isn't over yet." The goal is not to have an easy life, but to have a trust in the middle of a life filled with "if only."

Scientists are now learning how to "re-wild" our ecosystems. Ecosystems are now being re-wilded and it is being referred to as "Project Lazarus." We re-wild ecosystems by "re-homing" the native, undomesticated, displaced inhabitants. Many of our ecosystems that were in a massive state of decline are now experiencing what scientists are calling a "revival." A revival is coming to the ecosystems by way of re-homing the undomesticated original inhabitants back to where they were designed to be. Whenever we attempt to domesticate things that God intended to be wild, we begin to have a negative impact on the culture around us.

Am I navigating by the formula or am I navigating by the Presence. Could this be the most significant question a leader ever asks? We have such a propensity as leaders to grab for a formula working well for someone else rather than staying committed to navigating by a Presence that causes us often to be judged and misunderstood within the very company of people we are called to lead. He doesn't want us consumed with ministry, the growth of the church or success. He wants us consumed with face-to-face communion.

We are going to keep it about face-to-face. We aren't going to try to figure out how to exploit what has happened here into some type of selfish agenda. I send you into the hidden, secret place of face-to-face communion and may you be satisfied there, not with the measure of production, but with the greatness of the measure of Presence. May we know Him in April like we have never known Him before.

The Road to Emmaus. Yeshua manifests Himself at least eleven different times to His followers after the Resurrection. We have been taught the extremely necessary revelation of the crucified life within our revival family over the past several years. As essential the revelation of the crucified life is in the journey of the seeker, we must recognize that it is imperative we understand that the crucified life is an access point and not a stopping point. The end goal of Yahweh for the kingdom man is not you crucified, but you resurrected.
