THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP

THE RESTORATION OF THE LEADERSHIP SPIRIT

CHAPTER PRINCIPLES

1. True leadership has more to do with mind-set than with methods and techniques.

2. The challenge of all humanity is restoration to self.

3. Despite humanity’s declaring independence from its Source, the Creator hasn’t changed his mind about his original purposes for us.

4. The Creator is passionately committed to our being reconnected to him because

(1) we are made in his image, and he doesn’t want his image to be distorted or disgraced in the world, and 

(2) his purposes are permanent; he always accomplishes what he originally sets out to do.

5. The Creator’s ultimate purpose for humanity is to create a corporate leadership, summed up in the phrase, “Every person a leader.” The command to have dominion over the earth was given to all of humanity, males and females.

6. Corporate leadership works through the servant leadership principle.

7. Every human being, according to the Creator’s mandate, was designed by him to be a leader in an area of gifting.

8. The Creator’s program for reconnecting humanity with himself can be called “redemptive restoration.”

9. Humanity’s dilemma is not so much a “religious” problem as it is a thought problem.

10. God sent “the Word,” Jesus Christ, to earth to correct and redirect our thinking. He came to give us back the original thoughts that we lost when we disconnected from our Source.

11. When our thoughts are corrected, our attitudes can be transformed, and we will be able to fulfill our leadership potential.

12. The Authorized Dealer, Jesus, is “the way to the truth that gives us life.”

13. You never really live until you get true information about yourself.

14. The substitutionary death of the Authorized Dealer was to satisfy the demands of the penalty for the rebellion of man. Through his death, humanity could be fully reconnected and restored to God, and the Spirit of the Creator was made available to people of every generation.

15. The ultimate purpose of the suffering and death of Jesus Christ was to return the power of the Creator to human beings so that we could fulfill God’s original intent for us.

16. The return of the Spirit restores to us the consciousness of our leadership spirit and dominion assignment.

17. Full restoration of the spirit of leadership is a process of transforming our thoughts and aligning them with those of our Creator.

18. Mental transformation is different from repair and restoration. It is a process that takes time because it involves the changing of ingrained thoughts and habits.

19. Through the Spirit, we have the power and the access to the Creator that will enable us to effect a transformation of our attitudes.
