Each week, we highlight a Kingdom Dynamic, a key insight into how God’s Kingdom works in real life …
Know Him. Notice. Move.
“My Father has been working until now, and I have been working” (John 5:17, NKJV).
That line reframes everything for us. 👁️
Henry Blackaby used to say the Christian life is not mainly about doing things for God. It’s about pursuing Him, experiencing Him — and then discerning where He is already at work.
God is not idle. He is moving, shaping, stirring. The invitation is not to draft Him into our plans, but to align with His.
↔️ That’s the shift.
Instead of asking God to bless what we’re building, we experience Him, recognize what He’s blessing, and join that.
This requires high agency. A high-agency Christ-follower takes ownership of their walk and impact in their personal world.
They believe they can move with God. They act in faith. This is the posture of a Kingdom apprentice. Attentive > > Responsive > > Decisive.
And don’t go it alone. Let’s not do that. High-quality faith thrives in high-quality relationships. Run with others who burn the same way.
“The people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (Daniel 11:32b, NKJV).
Know Him.
Notice what He’s doing.
Move with Him.
Simple, but powerful sequence.
Let’s come before the Lord:
Father, I praise you that you are working on horizons in my life. I choose to align with you. Help me to know you better, to notice what you’re doing, and to move with that! Show me where I need to apply this most right now. Amen.

Prayer and Confession Opens the Door
Pattern recognition is one of the highest forms of perception. Some would even say inspired pattern recognition is part of seeing prophetically. Here’s a pattern worth seeing: open, public repentance often precedes renewal. Awakening, too, tends to emerge on the longer side of sustained, fervent prayer. Revivals like this imprint those who experience it for life. — Brian
A fresh move of the Holy Spirit is unfolding at Southeastern University (SEU) in Florida, with some drawing parallels to the Asbury Awakening.
Continuous prayer and worship have been happening in Bush Chapel since Wednesday, February 11, following a conference message by Jennie Allen that led to widespread public confession and repentance. Reports of healings are emerging.
The university announced that Friday, February 20, 2026, will mark the final day of the current round-the-clock gatherings. Leaders plan to transition from this concentrated campus outpouring into a broader movement students carry into everyday life.
Holy Spirit, bring renewal to our lives. Let it impact the personal worlds of each one.
Outpouring at Southeastern University, FL
When author Jennie Allen concluded her message Wednesday morning, she invited the approximately 2,300 students to publicly confess their sins. For 15 minutes, students loudly called out things like pornography, fear, insecurity, anger, adultery, even abortion.
“‘It was probably one of the wildest things I’ve ever experienced in my entire life,’ Rivera said. ‘What it created wasn’t shame. It created this sense of freedom. Something broke in the room immediately.’”
What about confession of sin in our personal lives? —Brian

P.S. — Something to think about. Satan and de-creation. Sin degrades and disintegrates. The righteousness of Christ regenerates … our lives and our personal world. “Being (continuous, ongoing process) filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God” (Paul in Philippians 1:11 NKJV).
