We're At 10K RPM In Acts Chapter 19 (If You Want More Check It Out For Yourself)... Next Episode We'll Be Back In Ephesians Chapter 4.
It's one thing to read about relationships.
It's another thing to experience one by being in it with a real person.
The same thing applies to God.
It's one thing to know about Him.
It's another thing to be in close relationship with Him in a real way.
Jesus is the One and only Way Who makes being in relationship with God possible.
Know Jesus
Know relationship with God
No Jesus
No relationship with God.
Growing beyond knowing about into truly knowing is the basis of all relationships.
Growing up in relationship with God then with one another is what we're all about here at Life Around The Fire Ministries Int'l.

The Engine Is Now At 3,000 RPM And Still Climbing...
Knowledge of and by itself is good, but too much of it tends to produce a snobbish undercurrent of superiority and arrogance.
Words and works... We need both.
Works alone tend to produce a hyped, sensensaionalist, shallow, and ignorant type of lifestyle.
Works and words... We need both.
In the Western Hemispher of Planet Earth we need more works of the Kingdom.
In the more remote areas of civilization on Planet Earth we could use more of the solid grounding affect good teaching of the Word has on a person's life.
I'm a citizen of God's Kingdom who lives in the Westrn Hemisphere and my head of knowledge is the size of a watrmelom and my body looks like a stick figure.
I repent... I'm changing my mind and I'm changing my ways...
God is the Boss and I'm the one saying Yes, LORD (not the other way around)!

The Car Engine Needed To Get Some Of The Carbon Blown Out Of It (We'll Return To Ephesian Chapter 4 Very Soon)
It's okay to have high powered racing engines and be an expert on how they work.
However, if all you do is study the engine, look at it, and every once in awhile take it out and slowly drive it around the block a few times and then put it back in the garage without really driving it for all it's worth... whata drag...what fun is that?
Same thing goes for someone who knows a lot about God and His written Word but never actually experiences the power of God's Kingdom and really gets excited about His Presence being among us!
Well, were taking the car out and blowing out some carbon because "DAD" said that it was A OKAY with HIM!
We'll see you back in Ephesians chapter 4 in a little while.
BUT FIRST......

God Is Maturing And Uniting The Body Of Christ. I Can See It And I Feel It Happening Personally And All Across The Nations... On Earth As It Is In Heaven.
We'll be picking up on our tour through Ephesians very soon as it pertains to an outline provided for us concerning spiritually mature behavior.
The outline is: Being born-again, imagers of God living in us, what God does looks like as He reveals Himself to us and through us?
Who do the people who really know me see when we get together?
Do they mainly meet just a lot of me or do they first and foremost see Jesus in me and through how I walk out my daily life?
This episode serve as a segue to the second half of the euation found written in the letter that Paul wrote while awaiting trial under house arrest in Rome.
The first half is on how to find one's true identity... in Jesus Christ and relationship with Him.
The second half is: What does spiritual maturity really look like in one's daily life?
This segue episode is an important component in the Masterpiece God is creating.

He is front and center.
He has made God, The Father known.
He loves us completely because of our LORD making us clean, by His very own, sinless, blood shed for our Salvation!
He has risen from from the dead and has ascended to the Highest Place where we are seated together in Him and with Him.
We are His Amassadors, Bride, Sons & Daughters of God, The Called & Chosen... But, HE IS GOD and HE IS KING!!!
He has united us in His Name...

The Power Of A True Story... Special Guest, John Trask Shares A Few Choice Events Concerning His Relationship With Jesus Christ... Folks, this Is as Real As It Gets.
People say that a picture is worth a thousand words.
And they are absolutely right!
However, a true story about an authentic transformation of a man from the inside out... That is pricelss.
Jon Trask is one of the coolest guys I have met in the past 30 years.
He has a resume that would blow you away.
But, that's not what he is sharing in this podcast episode.
In fact, John is a true example of what God is doing all across the nations right now.
He's dismantling the one man show, superstar, spiritual giant production and simplifying things so that Jesus Christ is the One being exaclted and He, Alone, is truly worthy of all our praise.
God is doing exactly what He said He was going to do through John.
He is using common man in uncommon ways... Just like Jesus with His first disciples, they were common men.
With all that being said, we have been assured that you will receive a true touch from God as you hear what comes through John's heart.

Becoming More And More Like Jesus Christ/Yeshu'a Hamashiach... Maturing Spiritually (Ephesians 4:1-16... Part6).
There are some things that will not happen unless we do something.
Only receiving things and having our minds focused on being needy is more than a bad habbit and poor social hygene... It's infectious and can spread rapidly though entire communities which contributes to us doing nothing.
Nothing changes if we do nothing.
Having a poverty mentality can become a cultural norm in which people learn to live in it like fish learn to living in nuclear toxic water.
Always being or feeling needy is a by product being of an oppressed person living in a whole group of other oppressed people.
The way to break it is by finding our true identity in relationship with Jesus and growing up out of that mindset into His mindset.
You and I are not bound to neediness if we are bound to Christ.
Walking in and talking in that new creation identity is important for all of us to remember to both be and do.
It's easy to forget what we look like if we don't put into practice who we really are.
This podcast is all about the place of peace in the practice of giving instead of living while wearing the identity of being a victim of always being needy.

Becoming More And More Like Jesus Christ/Yeshu'a Hamashiach... Maturing Spiritually (Ephesians 4:1-16... Part 5).
Being transformed and empowered from the inside out, by the very Life of God that dwells in a person, by the dynamite power of the Holy Spirit Who creates them into being born-again, alive spiritually...
That is vastly different from being a person doubling down into nothing more than an exhausted pool of failure, trying hard on their own strength and efforts to be a good, religious person yet in the end only experiencing in their inner core existence nothing more than the same sick feeling of sin and death that keeps them seperated from experiencing relationship with God's Love and His Life !
We are focusing our attention on "BECOMING "mature spiritually which involves us actually CO-OPERATING with the HOLY SPIRIT while we are living out the walk we've been learning and talking about... Walking the talk... Doing Kingdom stuff... Just like Jesus did and is still doing today!

Becoming More And More Like Jesus Christ/Yeshu'a Hamashiach... Maturing Spiritually (Ephesians 4:1-16... Part 4).
Being in an environment that is filled with confidence, peace, security, comfort, strength, wisdom, and forgiveness, all wraped up in true, unconditional love is almost unheard of these days.
Yet, that's the type of people Jesus has called us to be and to keep becoming more and more mature until...
Until He returns back to Earth to manifest His Kingdom in a very dynamic and everlasting way in the Earth as it is in Heaven.
In this episode we are going to be looking into the things that God has provided for us... the needed power to live out the words of truth that we have been receiving.
No longer can we be content to only consume more and more information, like only drinking more and more milk.
We are called to be both hearers and doers of the the word and the works of our Heavenly Father and His Kingdom... Eating solid food... The meat is in the street... Doing the Stuff!

Becoming More And More Like Jesus Christ/Yeshu'a Hamashiach... Maturing Spiritually (Ephesians 4:1-16... Part 3).
God has never told us to "DO" holy.
He said, "BE" holy, because He is holy.
DOING and BEING are two seperate things.
We will never DO holy things without first BEING made holy (from the inside out not the efforts of us on the outside trying to change the inside by doubling down and trying harder to be good).
Holiness does as holiness is.
Also, it's impossible for anyone to just "join the Church" or join the Kingdom of God.
It's impossible...
It's impossible to DO Christianity on our own power.
But, once we are born-again into the Eternal Life of God, His Eternal Life starts growing up inside of us by the power of the Holy Spirit, Who as a result of being supernaturally born-again lives and dwells within us, as pictured in the layout of The Tabernacle given to Moses and the childern of Israel while they were in The Wilderness (getting Egypt out of them not just them getting out of Egypt).
Come on in and find out what this is all about... Becoming spiritually mature.

Becoming More And More Like Jesus Christ/Yeshu'a Hamashiach... Maturing Spiritually (Ephesians 4:1-16... Part 2).
Blaming our existance on being a product of our environment keeps us in a place of weakness and in bondage to the control of others.
Self-help, self-positive talk, and positive thinking using only our own willpower will never be enough to actually sustain our lives through the long haul of daily life and all that goes along with it.
We need to have a more substantial and Life-giving Scorece in the core of our existance here on planet Earth.
Enter Jesus... Yeshua... The Messiah!
He is the only One capable of providing for us True Life that is capable of growing and developing into being an atmosphere/world changer.
We can then become one who has the power to mature and in so doing impact the world in a positive way through the Power of God's Life given to us as we are born-again... Becoming Spiritually alive.
This podcast episode is devoted to being a source of encouragement as you pursue the path of becoming mature from the inside out!

Who we are and what we're doing when noone is watching actually proves the integrity of our words.
God is God whether or not everyone is ignoring Him or you have a true relationship with Him... He's always been, is, and will be God.
Who are you and are you the same regardless of who is with you or if you are all alone and by yourself?
Who are you?
If you're confused... ask God... He'll show you and help you become that person.
We're going to be spending the next few episodes on the areas of life that reveal things we get to do as we mature in our identity in Christ... who we really are and who we really are becoming... regardless of who's watching!

Religious control freaks are going to hate this podcast episode.
Folks who are expeiencing fresh power, significant anointing, and the magnified Presence of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God to you and through you are going to love this and eat IT up!
So, let go of your stering wheel and get out of the drivers seat of your life.
Jesus is in charge of this vehicle and He calls IT, " Eternal Life"!
We're going to be growing up spiritually, making some mistakes while we learn to do the stuff that Jesus did and is still doing , but doing even more of IT, to us and through us because He is now doing it by the power of The Holy Spirit who possesses us and dwells within us!

Becoming More And More Like Jesus Christ/Yeshu'a Hamashiach... Maturing Spiritually (Ephesian 3:1-13, Acts 2:14- 24... Part 1).
Risky business and tipping over sacred cows.
Sounds like my kind of living these days.
This podcast started out pretty safe and quite vanilla flavored a couple of years ago.
Man, have things grown and changed.
We are actually growing up.
In the process of growing up spiritually and experientially it's beginning to draw attention because it makes some people who like to be in a religious type of control rather nervous.
Some people want to believe that our job on the Earth is behave and be good and one day we'll die and get go to heaven.
That's a pretty safe appraoch at preaching and teaching about a gospel of the Kingdom of God and Jesus Christ that has cost many people their very their lives.
If all they did was behave and do good things who would try to kill them for that.
But, if they walked in supernatural power and spoke words filled with supernatural life it just might ruffle some feathers.
Even though it's not our intent nor our objective to be radical and at controversial podcas…

*** Special Addition*** To, Into, And Through... Getting Beyond Your Battles And Into The Promised Victory (Dt 3:1-11, Mt 16:13-20).
You know how sometimes you get the feeling that you need to hear something, say something, or do something?
This is one of those times.
I heard something, I need to do something, by saying something to you.
You came TO a place in your life that you kind of knew was potentially going to be a rasky thing to do but you went ahead and did it anyway without asking God what was going on.
You went ahead and got yourself INTO that place... pretty deep.
The battle on the inside and the outside have been quite intense at times.
Now what?
It's not, now what, but, now WHO?
Jesus is the WHO to help you with the what and pull you THROUGH.
The end of the battle is near and Jesus has come to help pull you THROUGH.
You need to FOLLOW HIM... He the NEEDLE that will pull you (the thread) THROUGH.
Funny thing, God has actually orchestrated the whole thing (even though you thought it was all just you).

Co-operating with another Life Form?
What is that all about?
It's about us becoming spiritually mature people.
Becoming more and more like Jesus Christ/Yeshu'a Hamashiach.
Becoming like Jesus involves us co-operating with God, The Holy Spirit or Holy Spirit (as He often likes to be referred to as Being... Holy Spirit... I am not the David Huotari... I am David Huotari... He is Holy Spirit).
Fish can't yoddle.
It would take them becoming another species.
Human being can't be Christ-like.
It takes us becoming another species.
We need to be born-again spiritually supernatural in order to be Christ-like.
Just like a fish would need to be born-again into being human in order to yoddle.
Maturing involves us co-operating with Holy Spirit.
He teaches us what our identity and destiny are in Christ, The Holy and Anointed One.
We behold Him to Become like Him.
We get to do the things that He does as we learn how to co-operation with Holy Spirit Who makes His home in us and teaches us all things p…

By the time I turned 16 years old I couldn't wait to DRIVE my own car!
I had READ about them all of my life (up to that point in time).
I wanted to do more than only READ about driving a car.
It was time for me to grow up and DRIVE my own car.
Reading about Jesus is meant to be an absolutely an ongoing powerful encounter with God.
And it can be.
Especially when we start to DO the things Jesus said we would DO in His Name.

DOING actually is a natural process of growing up and becoming mature.

The Word and The Works...
Jesus both spoke about and demonstrated the reality of God's Eternal Kingdom Realm being here, in our midst, on Planet Earth, in conjunction with the physical realm of time and space that we experience with our natural senses.
Being a mature, whole person involves us being able to see, hear, say, and do a variety of things physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually... Be whole and holy!
Spiritual maturity is a naturally supernatural reality and process that is wonderfully designed to take place with all of us who are born-again.
Unfortunately many of us have been stifled and at times stunted in our spiritual development for a variety of reason.
We're not going to be spending much time focusing on the problems and the reasons why that is the case.
Our eyes are fixed on The Solution... The Words and the Works of Jesus... Yeshu'a Hamashiach! We are set on seeking FIRST The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness knowing that everything else will fall into pl…

Becoming More And More Like Jesus Christ/Yeshu'a Hamashiach... Maturing Spiritually (Ephesian 1:3-14).
What you hear in these next podcast episodes will either cause something inside of you to have a hunger for more of God in your life and becoming able to express His love through your life or this will sound like nothing more than foolish gibberish.
For others, this will not only be like a breath of fresh air but it will serve as another sign of the times in which God is revealing to us more and more of His Kingdom and His Glory while increasing the awareness of His Presence all around the world.
Jesus Christ/Yeshua Hamashiach is returning to Planet Earth rather soon and He is returning to embrace a unified Body and Bride that is fully mature.
This series of podcast episodes are all about growing up spiritually... What that means, what that looks like, how it happens, and what our part is in becoming "Mature in our identity with Him and in Him."

Becoming More And More Like Jesus Christ/Yeshu'a Hamashiach... Maturing Spiritually (Introduction Part 2).
There's a difference between working twice as hard by doing something for God than allowing God To Be God and to do something to you, in you, and THEN through you.
David Wilkerson once said that God told him while he was praying one day, "David, I would rather win over all of you than you win all the world for Me."
God loves us and want us to grow up and mature.
But, He wants to show us the right way to Abide in Him and allow Him to Father us before we go out and try to do things om our own power.
God loves us and wants to include us in what He's doing.
Maturity is learning how to practice more by consciously walking with the awareness of His Presence and His Purposes.
That's where we are headed in these next 17 episodes (following this one) taken from all 155 verses and 6 chapters of the Book of Ephesians.

To picture a burly, bearded, grown, man sitting on the floor pouting while sucking his thumb, like a baby is an uncomfotable and rather disgusing word picture.
Yet, far too often, that is the way of spiritual life for many people.
Stuck on drinking milk, like a baby, even though it's far more important to be eating things (like meat) that make you stronger and capable of growing up.
There is"spiritual milk" and there is also "spiritual meat" (teaching and living that is more than just rehearsing the elementary basics of spiritual life and living).
Growing upI could hardly wait to get my own car, money, and place to live and become an active adult in my small town of Hibbing, Mn... USA!
How much more so concerning growing up as citizens of the Kingdom of God!!!
I want to grow up before I grow old.
We will be teaching and following Yeshua/Jesus into a lifestyle of functioning, mature citizen of His Kingdom as we move forward.

This Is What Happens When Jesus Shows Up (Conclusion).
*** Editor's note: David mistakingly said there were 673 verses in the Gospel of Mark. There are actually 678 verses in the English translation of the Gospel of Mark... Woopsi (LoL)***
He came to reveal what God, our heavenly Father, is actually like.
He came to reveal what the Kingdom of Heaven is really like.
He shed His bloold so that we could be free from the condition of death and sinfulness.
He came to give us His Life, eternally.
He estabilished relationship with us to God, our Father, and made us into His children as citizens of His Kingdom.
He leads us and guides us by the Holy Spirit giving us His power.
He's coming back soon to wrap things up.
That's what happens when Jesus came, still comes, and is coming back soon to both be and do.

What Happens When Jesus Shows Up (Part 40)
Jesus Christ/Yeshua Hamashiach continues to reveal to us that He is alive and will be alive forever.
He once told a couple a men at Capernaum to "Come and see" when they asked Him where He lived.
He showed them his home.
He is saying the samething to us today except His home now and for eternity is in another realm in the Kingdom of God.
He is saying, "Come and see... Follow Me."
That also our purpose in life is to invite people to "Come and see the Living King Jesus".
Many things happened and are still happening when Jesus comes on the scene.
But, the major truth beyond all others is that He makes Himself known because He loves us and wants relationship with people like you and me throughout eternity .

God keeps very unique business hours.
He shows up for work at rather unusual times (often).
Whether I believe in God or not does not prevent Him from being Himself... God.
Jesus is not a "poser nor an imposter"!
He accepts being overlooked because He can see "The Bigger Picture" and doesn't let rejection get under His skin.
Lastly, Jesus willingly to took the sentence and the punishment for the crimes you and I committed... the result of those that sins were headed straight for us.
Jesus loves you, that's why He shows you and that's exactly what happens when He did, does, and will do for things to you and through you!
He is a Blood Covenant God Who makes and keeps His relationship promises to you, with you, and for you.

Timing is everything!
There are several major Time Keepers... Atomic Clock, IERS, Doomsday Clock, USNO, and GPS.
God, Who is eternal, actually keeps a Calendar for the realm of time and space that He created where now we live in and His is THE MOST PRECISE TIME MEASUREMENT OF ALL!
Jesus teaches us how to navigate through this realm of time and space with perfect patience, compassion and perfect timing.
He understands the challenges that often take place... feeling out of control, being rejected, experiencing physical and verbal abuse, public humiliation, and giving up and being disobediant to God walking away from Him.
He experienced the same type of situations yet He remained "sin free" and now helps us get through them.

When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the first one to yelp is the one that got hit.
The same type of thing can happen with people.
If someone gives a word of correction to a group of people the one who gets offended makes the loudest noise.
Whenever Jesus shows up He has a way of bringing issues that need to be brought out so that they can be exposed and dealt with.
I'm thankful He has corrected me.
I know I have and still need correction
In fact, we all need correction.
Why not receive the correction Jesus provides.
The person who loves wisdom, loves correction.
I love our Savior and His LORDSHIP!
Either Jesus is LORD of all aspects of our lives or He isn't lord at all.

What Happens When Jesus Shows Up (Part 32)?
We've all had, and some of us may still have, some rather hard questions for God about your life and/or life in general.
Jesus is accustomed to addressing hard questions.
He's not intimidated by any of them.
In fact, He actually addresses them with a heart of love.
God literally answers your questions.
If you ask Him and allow Him to give you spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear His answers He will.
They may not be the answers you want to hear.
But they are good, truthful, and reliable.
Often they are even better than what we may have anticipated.
What happens when Jesus shows up?
He answers our hard questions with a heart filled with love for us!

God Is Once Again Making His Presence Known In A Very Big Way... His Desire Is For Us To Live Together With Him In True Relationship.
We thank God for the inroads we see in delivering men, women, and children from the bondage and horror of human trafficking and the sex slave industry.
It was approximately 1 1/2 years ago we shared an entire episode on the need for prayer in this area (We will re-broadcast that episode for all of you later today).
God is answering our prayers.
The movie, "Sound of Freedom", is but one of the many things that is being used to help deliver people from evil!
Praise God!
This episode is devoted to encouraging all of us to "get our lives in order" because of the significant things that God is doing and is going to continue doing (even more) on planet Earth over the course of the next several years.
You are alive by divine desisign.

The Amazing Seasons And Soveriegn Timing Of God (Galatian 4:4).
We are living in an Amazing Kronos that is about to give birth to a Kairos of God that all of creation has been growning to experience.
Kronos = A period of time
Kairos = A specific moment in time.
Yeshua/Jesus was a born at a Kairos moment in a Kronos of time.
Jesus was born at the exact moment in a set time that God had Sovereignly planned.
Just like today...
GOD'S TIMING IS SO SOVEREIGNLY PRECISE AND PROPHETICALLY ACCURATE THAT ALL OTHER TIME PIECES/HEARTS NEED TO BE SET TO HIS.
Galatians 4:4 is a central point for an upcoming series concerning the timing of God and where we are in relation to the literal soon return of Yeshua Hamashiach... King Jesus our LORD and Savior!!!
He will return at the exact right time just like He was born at the exact right time which had been determined by God before He created the Earth.

Taking Time To Recalibrate...
The world that we live in can be incedibly beautiful as well as it being a major pain to contend with these days.
Life, alone, can literally throw our timing off.
Or, we can get stuck in the mode of putting our heads down and just work, work, work (or play, play, play).
It's important for all of us to have a rythm to life: Work, Rest, Worship, & Play.
Whether we're out of sync, unbalanced or simply insensitive... we all need to recalibrate.
Getting back in step with Jesus, God's perfect timing is the only Way to really Live.
Becoming balanced in life... not lopsided or out of time is where it's at for all of us.
We, at Life Around "The Fire", are going to be doing that very thing.
We're going to be taking 10 days off to recalibrate.
When we get back we'll pick up from where we left off.
In the meantime, God bless you, Adios Amigos and enjoy some "Recalibrating"!

It's One Thing To Hear ABOUT God...
It doesn't matter how old or young you are, you've doubted something about God at least once in your life.
I have said and done some hurtful things in my times of doubt and discouragement.
I've accused God of being mean, cruel, and neglectful.
I've cursed His name out loud in my pain and anger.
I've doubted His very existance and denied ever knowing anything about Him.
All of that has never prevented God from consistantly Being God.
Never once did He say, "David, I think it's time that you take everything over for awhile."
His ways and His timing are perfectly God's Very Own ... even when I haven't like it that way.

Sometimes miracles can be those things that both did and didn't happen.
Like, "I can't find my stupid car keys."
Then, you finally found them 10 minutes later.
As you turned on your car and tuned into your favorite radio station, you heard the terrible news...
"The Great Bridge Collapse.
Had you found them 10 minutes earlier you would have been involved in that major catastophe.
God's timing is no joke... It's very real (precisely on time).
Now, concerning Jesus, and "His showing up"; If only 8 of the 365 foretold prophecies and specifics concerning the Messiah were to be fulfilled by one man the odds would be about 1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (Octillion).
Jesus fulfilled all of the 8 needed to make Him on Octillionaire ... plus 357 more perfectly on time (making Him a Nonillionaire [30 zero's] x THERE ARE NO ODDS).
The timing of God is precise and Jesus is the real Messiah, He is alive, and He is returning very soon!

Also, even though I don't really like it, hard times happen in each of our lives; at least once.
There are important truths found in the Life of Jesus that are helpful for us all who are dealing with or at least know what we're talking about concerning facing very challenging, and difficult times in life.
The good news is we don't have to face hard times on our strength alone.

What's another word for being preoccupied with becoming and staying financially wealthy?
Greed.
Gorden Gekko, in 1987, said, "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good."
Many culture's including our very own actually elevate the need for greed.
Often, people who aren't wealthy (and greedy) are sneered at and joked about as being suckers and simpletons.
People try to hide or disguise greed in order to keep their secret to wealth well hidden from the "uninitiated.".
Some people are so wrapped up in the culture of wealth they don't know any other way.
I believe the latter is true of the rich, young, ruler we are looking at in this episode.
He was "happily wealthy" (only some of the time).
There's more going on in this story than mets the eye.

If you have experienced or know someone who has experienced serious relationship issues, this is a pretty good podcast episode to tune into.
To say that everything is just "Fine" even though it's far from being "Fine", is like us saying we that love the new clothes the emporer is wearing, even though he's naked.
To finally get real help begins by us admitting that we have a real problem.
Then, and only then, will we be given the power by God to change and stop trying to merely look good and convince others that everything is just "Fine".
It's exhausting and a poor example for our children for us to keep living a life of fantasy.
Reality is hard at times but it is also so much more enjoyable to live in than for us to live a life of lies and fantasies.

When I was a young child I used to think that we all basically thought the same way and saw the world the same way.
Then life began revealing more of itself to me.
The truth and reality of differences began taking place in my mind.
It didn't take too, long to see and understand that we are all really different with only a few similarities.
At first it was troubling until I hit puberty and discovered the opposite sex.
Viva la difference!
I was glad to be different.
I didn't want to be a girl because I liked the difference(s).
That's a difference between sexes.

In this episode we're talking about differences regarding life experiences concerning our relationship with God.
There's only One Way to experience a realationship with God and it's through placing our faith in Jesus Christ.

When we actually take God at His Word and do what He says He will literally fulfill all of His promises to us.

We are living in a time when world events are becoming more intense... much like the labor pains a woman feels just before finally giving birth to her new born child.
The thing about life is it feels so so daily and yet at the same time so amazingly real.
The way many of us understand some things about God are going to be experiencing a radical shift and a total life tranforming encounter with God as Who He is, not just Who someone else said He was.
God is setting the record straight.
His Love and His Life far exceed our wildest imaginations... He wants us to really see Who He is and what He's really like.

*An editorial note : We want to make a correction in a name reference used half-way through the episode. It was initially given as the the correct name, "Esaua". A few minutes later another name was used in the same Old Testament story. But instead saying "Esaua"the name "Enoch" was used. "Esau" is the correct name in the Old Testament reference. We apolgize for the woopsi. T
BTW, thanks for the gracious way that you provide a prayer covering for us. We love you... Bo Yeshua Bo
I have wasted so much of my time trying to figure out why really bad things happen to me.
The question itself has caused me to be like a dog chaing it's tail or a monkey chasing the weasel.
Lengthy cycles of wasted energy and time... things just swirling around in my head.
Afraid to forgive and afraid to let go of the hurt.
I grew rather accustomed to letting hurt and anger be my protectors.
Until...
Until the love of Jesus Christ really broke through.
His love broke through my hard exterior and offered me real…

It's One Thing To Know There's A Problem But What Do I Do About It?
It takes being able to see and IDENTIFY a problem to KNOW that it exists.
Knowledge.
Knowledge is important.
But, knowing is not enough at times.
It's a whole other thing to know what to do about it.
Where do I go and what do I do if I've been betrayed?
Where do I go and what do I do if I'm the betrayer?
WISDOM is the supreme aquisition in this situation.
Wisdom.
Wisdom is knowing where your destination and the insight involving the best way how to take ACTION and to ultimately get to the destination.
We need wisdom in knowing how to deal with betrayal.

Betrayal (Part 2)
What's the worst thing you've ever done?
Would you call that thing "sinful":
If was stealing a piece of candy?
If was getting drunk?
If was telling a lie?
If was betraying someone?
All sin is sin.
It's not all that everything is the same.
But, taken to it's full expression all sin develops or progresses into this condition known as death.
The wages of sin is death.
Jesus paid the price for sin to be eradicated/removed from our lives if we ask him and place our trust in Him.
Betrayal is a sin that can be both forgiven and made whole in a ne Way.
The first thing in order though is to activate the process of being made whole/healed and it is through "Forgiveness".

There's nothing like a good old fashioned betrayal to seperate the men from the boys.
All kidding aside, betrayal is not only painful it is an ever present reality that we all face, faced, or will face at least once in our lifetime.

What Happens When Jesus Shows Up (Part 6)?
Have you ever really betrayed anyone?
I have.
I betrayed a friend of mine publicly once because I secretly wanted to be viewed as someone who knew how to lead people better than he did.
I embarrassed him publicly in front of his congregation.
I know... what a creep!
However, I thought I was actually doing the will of God.
It's amazing how deceived and deceptive we can all be.
What is the remedy for that type of behavior?
That issue of betrayal (both betraying and being betrayed) will be the topic of this episode as well as the next two episodes.
The reason is because it's an issue that isn't easy to address and it's going to take some time to unpack it.

Being A True leader Involves Being An Example For Others As You Follow Jesus Christ
You can't give away what you don't have.
You can only fake it for so long before you're eventually found out to be a phony.
Leadership is more than being gifted.
Most of true leadership involves character.
Character is developed by training and practice.
Leadership is not a way for insecurity people to feel important.
Leadership involves being willing to eat last, stay up later, pray more, fast more often, take and handle criticism, and face real persecution so that others have a visual example of what the Life of Jesus looks like in the skin of someone else.

We are living in times of historic proportions.
We are in the earliest of days concerning God making tHis Glory and the Mighty, Loving, Power of His Kingdom more eveident on Earth than even during the Exodus of Israel out of Egypt.
Israel is going to be taking center stage globaly more and more and so is the Glory of the LORD.

It was a trap set for Lucifer.
He took the bait.
He couldn't ever resist trying to harm Israel because of the shed blood of the Messiah's sinless blood..

Except we are extremely close to "The End".

I was taken a back for a moment.
God wanted to hear me preach.
Of course He could hear me.
He is Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent.
Yet, He said He wanted me to hear me preach to Him.
That puts a whole different spin on serving Him.
He is the Center of all things.
Unto Him be ALL honor, glory, power, adoration, worship, praise, and love.
People are not the main purpose or recipients of what we do; the First Fruits of ministry belong to the LORD.
God is the Center!.
He loves us because He likes us and that's why He is using us to lead.
Serving Him is not something we do to get His approval.
We serve Him and others because we are approved by Him because of the shed blood of His Son.

True Leaders Don't Run Away From Difficulties
Being a leader involves pereiodically dealing with conflicts and uprisings.
Divisions and disputes, even in the midst of revival, can brew and boil over during the course of time.
True leaders will be part of the solution by not runnung from the conflict but addressing it head on.
Being angry is different than ruling by anger.
Some people use the tyranical method of excercising anger to intimidate and control people.
Good leaders allow themselves to feel anger but rely upon the Word of the LORD to come to them and through them.
It's identifying with the people and with God that makes for a great leader.

Without a clear vision or purpose in life we all are like jellyfish (at best).

Leaders are designed to lead and teach by example.

The Signs Of A True Leader Are Best Seen When No One But God Is Looking: Worship, Prayer, And Unity
There is a way that seems like it is the right way to live but in the end it's proving itself to be destructive.
Most of us have done at least a few things on our own power and have tried to give God credit for doing it.
It always fall short of creating His Glory.
God's glory is the enviroment that God creates and inhabits.
God is LIGHT.
In Him is no darknessd.
Prayer releases God to move on our behalf because He wants us tyo grow up and be mature leaders.
We are the ones who calls into action.
I love the way God reveals His Kingdom and His heart of Loveto His leaders.

A Word Of Helpful Insight For Everyone, Especially If You're A Leader; Information Creates Emotion.
Good leaders follow Jesus.
Did you knpw that information creates emotion?
Do you have a backbone given to you by God?
What kind of leader are you?
Good leaders follow Jesus.
Jesus didn't eliminate The Law of God.
Jesus came to fulfill and illuminate The Law of God.
He never broke or breaks The Law of God.
By following Him, we don't break The Law of God.
He doesn't steal, murder, lie, covet, commit adultery, etc. so, if we follow Him, we don't steal, murder, lie, covet, commit adultery, etc.
In following Him we too live a Holy Life.

Being A Leader Of Leaders...
Looks can be deceiving.
For reasons I will never know some people have the romantacized view that being a leader is an impressive thing to be.
Being a true leader, a servant leader is anything but impressive.
It will cost you your life, all of it.
True leadership is not a choice, it's a call that God chooses to give.
True leadership is not us getting it by going to college and getting a degree (and I enjoyall levels of schooling and higher education).
Leadership is not for the faint of heart.
If you can do anything else... do it!
Except, if you're called to lead there's nothing else you want to do... even though it hurts.
We need leadership because it sets a standard to follow.
If it's in the mud, then most of the people will be in the mud, too.
The opposite is true... Praise God.
Let us be like Jesus (and Ezra) and allow ourselves to truly identify with those we are called to lead.

Being a leader is like volunteering to be ugly.

There are aspects of leadership that have great rewards and privileges.
However, they are far and few between the everyday goings on in life.
Now, being a "spiritual leader" is much more exciting.

Following Jesus Is Not A Spectator Sport (He's Emptying The Bleachers).
We aren't called to "attend" Jesus like He is some kind of sporting event that we attend so that we can say we really "know" the game.
He calls us to "follow" Him.
We get to know Him as we follow Him.
"Attending" an event, even a Church event, is not equivilant to following Jesus.
Good news, God is emptying the bleachers.
Following Jesus is not a spectator sport!
These are not "war games".
These are live bullets.
People actually get hurt and killed while "doing the stuff" by following Jesus.

Being empowered to work in the Kingdom of God is a huge part of the reason why we are alive.

Do it for free because you're going be doing it anyway, because you love doing it.
Do it so well that someone would be willing to pay you to do it."

He literally meant PAID IN FULL.
All of our insane behavior and self-absorbed thinking,.
The stuff that some people saw as well as the stuff going on inside of our minds.
The things that seperated us from relationship with God.
He took the full blow, the total release of how God the Father felt about sin fell upon the sin that seperates us from Him so it wouldn't fall on us.
Punishment and judgement fell upon Jesus so that we could be clensed by the Blood of Jesus that He shed in order to set us free to live the quality of Life that is Life giving... not life imploding!

Let go of all those things and embrace the change.
Things, even though they are different, are going to be better than before.
In many respects, that's a snapshot of some of our lives today.

Being A Giver Is A Matter Of The Heart (Freedom From The Bondage Of Being Enslaved)
I used to wonder why my mother would get so happy to give things to people.
Things that were valuable like her Time, Energy, and Money.
I secretly thought she was rather naive and gullible at times.
However, she always had an extra $500.00 (in cash) tucked away.
All this on the mega salary of a Nurse's Aide in a Nursing Home in Hibbing, Mn.
Giving...
What in the world does giving have anything to do with us spritually growing in our relationship with God and our relationships with one another?
What does giving have to do with God revealing Himself to us in a big way again on planet Earth?
Hopefully, you will get some more clues found in this podcast episode.

Good News For Those Who Are Experiencing Overpowering Oppression And Addiction
Have you ever tried to control diarrhea by using sheer willpower?
It's impossible!!!
Are there things you are saying or doing that keep damaging your life and your relationship with others no matter how hard you try to get things under control?
If yes, listen up...
We're not going to be talking about diarrhea but about oppression, enslavement, and addiction along with an initial plan surrounding solutions and not just problems.
The labels for these various types of problems are all quite synonymous.
We're not going to focus too much on symantics in this episode.
If we can't take care of the problems using conventional methods of counseling, therapy, or behavior modification, what then?
Then perhaps things are rooted in a spiritual cause.
Good news, there is more than just informative information that's avialable. There's the power of God's Kingdom enforced by The Holy Spirit which leads us into places of salvation (not just a once-and-done thing) that is available!

Being A Giver Is A Matter Of The Heart (Part III: Hope for Those Who Have Been Burned By Life)
I used to drink up to a quart of vodka a day, smoked a ton of weed, taken a lot of LSD-25 and at times some magic mushrooms along with heroin, pain killers and benzoids just to top things off.
I eventually became what is commonly referred to as a "burn-out".
The same type of thing happened to me while I served as a pastor of a local congregation of believers in Jesus because by working very hard and doing a bunch of busy stuff mostly on my own abilities and strength when I developed a case of being "burned out".
Then the relationship I was in got real sour and we both ended up "burning" each other (so to speak)... We each got "burnt"
I must have been a glutton for punishment.
Nope, I was just trying to achieve or reach "the impossible" on my own power.
I found out I'm not alone.
Alone or in the company of others I still felt like a second class citizen.
Burned out and damaged goods.

Being A Giver Is A Matter Of The Heart (Part II: The Rock Of Hope Is The Cornerstone Found In God's Living Temple Of Faith And Love)
I used to think that hope was kind of like wishful thinking or some consolation prize for those who didn't win "The Real Prize".
"I sure hope that money comes today."
"Well, I know you didn't win the game. But, we can hope that next time things will be better.."
Hope is much more powerful than that.
In fact, the word "Hope" in the ancient Hebrew language is probably the best, most accurate definition of "Hope"
The word for hope is "tiqvati" and it means "to have very certain and strong confidence in something not yet seen to become visible and real."
To be very certain in something and having strong confodence in the provision being made real to you by God even though it is still invisible.
Hope isn't believing in chance or hoping for good luck.
Hope is living in strong certainty and bold confidence in God Being our Source of all good things that are currently still invisible yet to be manifest to us by Him

Once I got my bearings and I new I was lost I found that I this voice inside of me that was tuned into a different frequency and I heard myself calling for help.
Within a moment I was rescued by a stranger I felt like I had known all of my life.
It was Jesus.
He began showing me many things about how I got lost and how we were going to get out and what I needed to do to help.
He was going to do it.
I needed to obey what he told me to do with Him.
One of the things was for me to embrace a new identity.

To All Of You Who Are Called By Yeshua To Help Bring Unity To His Church... Don't Stop Now!
History started to become more interesting after I turned 25 years old.
Prior to age 25 my frontol lobe hadn't beome fully adult/formed yet.
Previous to that development I basically just did stuff without thinking it through before I went ahead and just did it.
Now I can think before I act (most of the time).
Once again, previous to that development I basically just did stuff.
On one hand that's good.
On the other hand, if I let the pendulum swing too far the other way, I could get caught up in navel gazing.
Navel gazing is like peeling an onion.
There's nothing of anyreal benefit by doing the excercise.
It actually just killing time.
It's empty in the middle and it just makes a person look busy doing something.
I've been known to know how to kill time.
I can get busy doing nothing worthwhile (or even good stuff) in a heartbeat.

What do the demons say about you when your name is mentioned?

I used to fast and pray.
I'm don't care about helping set the captives free anymore.
Who am I?
Who is God?
What's this all about?
What difference does it make if I fast and pray?
Why get worked up over stuff?
Just go for a bike ride and smoke a blunt or sit by the water and soak up some suds..

Prayer And Fasting: Part I
Praying In glossasia (worshipping God in an unlearned and unknown tongue/language) while including an even deeper level of intimacy, hunger, and devotion by fasting from food is a very powerful and necessary way for us to be involved in the things that God enjoys doing.
Often times fasting is an unplanned event.
We get so involved and caught up in something or someone that we actually forget to eat or drink.
There can alos be times wher fasting is planned... like a date night with your spouse and/or your best friend.
Fasting is best expressed in the context of relationship.
Exchanging one hunger for another.
The late (and great) John Wimber coined this one: "How do you spell LOVE? The answer, T.I.M.E.?"
Fasting buys us T.I.M.E.
Fasting as we pray or worship is a sign of passionate love.
We discover more and more of His identity as well as more and more of our own as we share the intimate closeness of perfect love.

Understanding The Times (Who Are You?)
Amnesia is a wild phenomana.
To not recall who we are is hard to comprehend on one hand.
On the other hand I kind of get it.
I don't always have a firm grip as to my real identity and how God really sees me.
Who am I?
Who am I in His eyes?
Does it even matter?
Yes, it does.
Huge... It's a very big deal.
Who we really are impacts all of our decision making.
It affects the who, what, when, where, why, and how of life.
Prayer and fasting are two rather unusual aspects in our relationship with God (in which our true identity is both found and secure).
In fact, it's an often misunderstood and neglected part of a healthy relationship with God.
But, we are going to be doing something about that...

Mountain peaks also contain plateaus and valleys.
Prophetic vision is often compared to looking at the mountain peaks and reporting what is seen about them while the plateaus and valleys aren't mentioned.
The plateaus and valleys all represent time and space.
The mountain peaks illustrate experiences and conditions.
Periodically things can get a bit confusing.
Thank God for His other means of communication.
Prophetic stuff is important but it is what it is: one piece of the puzzle... the puzzle is the mosaic of life.

It's definitely not a perfect place to live, yet!

If I can't trust you, believe you or have confidence in the typr of love we talk about sharing we really don't have what is called a healthy relationship with each other (or anyone else, really).
Trusting in what someone says and who they arre is a foundational building block for having real, healthy relationships.

I had a great earthly father.
I just didn't know him that well growing up because he was very busy providing for our family of 7... me being #7.

When the lights are turned low even a messy room can look clean on the surface.
Turn on the lights and you find a different story.
The same can be said of things spiritually.
The powers of darkness do not like being seen in the light because it reveals what they really look like and who they are.
Satan loves himself, he loves lies, he loves to steal, kill and destry things.
He doesn't admit to any flaws.
Having his weaknesses and limitations revealed is madening to him.
The same goes for his minions.
They can't handle the Presence of the LORD.

I thought it was a pretty cool set-up.
But, I kept my distance.
One day I saw him (Jerry, my brother-in-law) with a device that looked like a glorified watering can.
Except it had smoke coming out of it instead of water.
Jerry told me that it drove the angry bees away and put the others to sleep so that he could harvest the honey without getting stung.
I asked if I could smell the smoke and look into one of the boxes that housed the beehive.
I did and it smelled like burning/smoking woodchips... I liked it.

The age old problem of the "have's" and the "have not's" is solved in the New "Cut" Covenant made in the shed Blood of Jesus (all of it... unto death).
People have been fighting over this issue of inequality for as long as there has been time.
The rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer... except in the New Covenant community.
Those of us who walk in this New Covenant never have to take a seat in the back of the bus again.
We have all been given access to God through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
He has cut a New Covenant with powerful promises within it.
Being free from the tyranny of being the evil oppressor and being free from being under evil oppression is over... if we know what has been made available to us.

I Don't Have Time For Organized, Disorganized Or Dead Religion
"I don't have time for organized, disorganized, or dead religion."
Thus sayeth the LORD!
I've said those very words.
In fact someone said that to me not too long ago when they found out about what this podcast was featuring.
They said, "Sorry, I'm not into organized religion".
So, I agreed.
They now listen to this podcast.
Because, God is into "Covenant Relationship".
That's what this podcast episode is all about... "Covenant Relationship".

A New And Improved Way Of Getting A Point Across
"If only I could make my kids would see things the way I do.
I know that they would be better off."
Anyone who is a parent knows that feeling.
"Why don't they get it?"
Anyone who knows anyone knows that feeling.
God knows that feeling.
So, He did something about it.
He developed an entirely new, ingeneous way of getting that very thing to take place without turning us into robots.

God Wants A To Have Strong And Loving Relationship/Friendship With Us
Sometimes religion makes my head spin and my stomach hurt.
Highly religious people tend to make me nervous and uncomfortable when they catch me off guard.
I don't get that same thing from people who have a real, healthy relationship with God.
There's something peaceful and uplifting when we get together.
It's like a couple of magnifying glasses sitting side by side and magnifying the LORD together.
Well, that peace and unity are the product of being in "covenant" with God.
However, the average person when asked to give specific details as to what is involved in the greatest covenant ever cut wouldn't really know what to say or think.
We are going to change all of that.
What good is money in the bank if you don't know it's yours.
The same thing goes with the provisions and promises found in the covenant made for us to partake in by the shed blood and broken body of Jesus Christ.
Stay tuned for more...

Commitment can be "a 4 letter word".

The Peace/Shalom Of God Helps Us Overcome Worry, Fear, And Unbelief (Part II Of III)
"People at the office are getting sick and I just know I'm next."
"I never have enough money."
"The thought of them coming over gives me a headache."
We've all said things like that and consider it to be just a normal way of life.
It's only normal because we are accustomed to living an abnormal or subnormal existence.
Fear is the motivating factor at work behind the scenes.
The type of fear that is associated with the world of the dead.
Peace, the Peace/Shalom of God is bigger and better way of Living compared to that way of existence.
Fear and it's feelings try to make themselves bigger than God.
They aren't.
What are you going to do about it?
I highly recommend setting up an appointment with the Prince of Peace/Shalom... Yeshua/Jesus!

The Peace/Shalom Of God Helps Us Overcome Worry, Fear, And Unbelief (Part I Of III)
Worry causes so many problems for us.
Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual pressure are created by worry.
Worry is common but that doesn't make it necessary.
Worry is a habbit that can only be broken by peace.
The peace of God is available to all of us right now.
It's almost a fantasy type dream for some of us to imagine a life without worry.
It's like an overweight person imaging themselves as thin.
After awhile it becomes more of an annoyance than a hope.
Worrying can be much like that.
However, God does provide us with more than just hope.
He provides shalom/peace.

What, If Anything, Does Forgiveness And Endurance Have To Do With Peace?
When I was a kid I once took apart an old water pump my dad had in our barn.
I was curious and ambitious.
So I tore the old pump apart.
I thought that there would maybe be like 5 parts to it,
It had more like 500 parts to it.
Long story short I was overwhelmed and I never put the pump back together.
However, the main point I walked away with was understanding that I wasn't really aware of all that went into a functioning water pump.
Peace-Making , the shalom of God is like that water pump.
It looks rather simple from the outside.
But, open it up and...
Enter "Forgiveness and Endurance" as part of the inner makings of "Peace-Making/Shalom".

Filling The Cloud So That It Will Reign/Rain Glory And Shalom
Filling the spiritual atmosrhere of our communities with prayer, praise and worship unto the LORD is how we get His reign/rain of glory and shalom to fall upon the places where we live.
What goes up will come down.
Our prayers of faith to God are very effective.
They actually are used to change the environment where we live.
We have an affect on the quality of life we expereience in our communities.
We are called to be shalom makers.
Shalom is a type of peace that involves harmonony, completeness, wholeness, wellness, prosperity, and tranquility.

Why Settle For Smoke When You Can Have The Real Fire?

We've all stubbed our big toe trying to get through a room when it's dark.
Funny how when I stub my toe my tongue says words.
The whole thing catches me off guard.
That's how it is when God proves to us how much (or how little) of His character is actually in us.
It catches us off guard.... pop qiz!
God uses life to put a "squeeze" on enabling us to see if it is His Life that comes out of our mouths.

All Of This Looks Good On Paper, But...
Have you ever purchased something from the store that looked good in the box but when you got it home it really didn't work like you hoped it would?:
The answer is probably, "Yes".
The same goes for things we read or hear about that are found in the Bible.
Do they actually work when we get them out of the book and actually try to use them at home?
The answer is, "Yes, but you need to activate the promises with faith".
Faith literally activates the promises of God.

Peace Making In A Rock Tumbler
When I get uncomforable in a relationship on of my first reactions is to get out of the relationship.
Sometimes that's a good thing.
If things are abusive and toxic it's never a good idea to suck it up, stick around, and just take it (or give it).
However, the majority of our situations in life with other people are not that extreme.
In those situations it's important for "making peace" a priority.
Peace is one of the key attributes necessary for us to host the Presence of the LORD as well as it being a sfe environment to grow and develop in.

Peace Making: In Order To Be Heard We Must First Be Silent
Have you ever wished you could eat your words.
Like one person once said, "I'm seasoning my words with kindness because tomorrow I just might have to eat them."
Sometimes we say and talk too much.
Sometimes it's hard to be quiet.
We are almost addicted to noise and commotion.
Just watch one of the kids shows on the television or computer.
Things change every 2 or 3 seconds.
Attention spans are being sucked in by social media.
The list goes on.
We hear God most of the time via our spirit's.
The ears and eyes of our spirit's are located somewhere real close behind our navel.
In order to use those ears we must learn to be silent.
This takes discipline, especially between the ages of 13 and 53.
However, we all need to excercise that discipline.
God won't do that one for us.

Living Life At The Speed Of Shalom
Feeling or sensing the atmosphere of the room you walk into is a reality that most of us deal with on a regular basis without really thinking twice about it.
However, when a person stops and allows themselves to be still we can begin to recognize the mood or tone of what is going on.
Walk into a packed bar at closing time.
You'll get a definite read on the atmosphere.
walk into a stockholders meeting after the company stock has tyaken a 20 point drop.
The "vibe" will be different.
We have the privilege and resposibility as ambassadors of Christ to "set the tone".
Instead of stress, pressures of over-commitment, fear, ego driven ambitions or guilt filling the atmosphere we have the authority to bring and turn it into one of PEACE!

Peace Is Taking Action To Restore A Broken Situation
Restoring a broken figurine to it's original condition is no small endeavor.
Fixing it with glue is one thing.
Restoring it all the way to brand new (and better than new) takes an act of God!
I broke a tall, ceramic figurine of my mother's during one of my wild, house parties back in the 1970's.
We glued it back together (most of it).
It was pretty good but, it wasn't restored.
I would have had to cast an entirely new figurine in order to restore it to better than new.
The peace of God can actually provide the environment for faith, love and power of His Spirit's Presence to actually bring about/create a better than new restoration of things (re-creation).
No wonder peace-makers are known as the "children of God"!

Being Covered And Soaked In The Peace Of God Empoweres Us To Be Peace-Makers
We can't make peace if we ain't got no peace to begin with.
I used to think having a few drinks and smoking some good weed (I've done a ton of it) was the key to having "peace".
It was only psuedo-peace.
It was actually a simple altering of chemicals in my body that produced a type of euphoria that only lasted for a few hours.
Once the drugs wore off so did the peace.
Not so with the peace of God.
It is the real deal.
No preservatives or additives.
PEACE.
God's peace is found by Him living in us... spending time with Him while He is in us.
Relationship with God is the foundation for true, lasting personal peace as well as peace that we can "make".

Eternity Is The Cornerstone Of Healthy Reality
Expecting things to take place sooner or in a different way than we were hoping for can be a bit frustrating (to say the least).
Have you ever had to wait in rush hour traffic or looking forward to a raise in your wages only to find out that plans were different than what you were expecting?
Having "Eternity" established as a cornerstone that we have allowed God to build into our logic is a very wise choice to make.
Somethings are meant to be eternal, not temporal.
Eternal things developed into our character are extremely high on God's priority list for our lives.

Cease striving and surrender.
We are not called or designed to be autonomous from God.
We are called to be in union, communion, together with Him.
We become pure as we surrender to His drawing us closer to Him, into His loving embrace.
He helps us in the process if we allow him to be our Helper and our Guide.
We can't purify our own hearts.
It takes God working with us.
We don't need to be afraid even though it is our natural tendancy.
We need to submit, surrender and trust God.

I was once told by a professor in seminary to not let "my congregation members" get too close to me and to never share things that pertained to my personal struggles.
I was told it would cause people to lose confidence in my leadership abilities.
That advice was garbage.
In fact, it almost the exact opposite.
By sharing our process of being made pure it gives other people hope in knowing that they are alone.

The Shining Of Ones Countenance Is An Amazing Sight As Well As A Sign Of God's Approval
We are living in the most amazing time in world history.
The majesty, glory, honor, power and presence of God and the further revelation and demonstration of the supremacy of His Kingdom on the Earth is under way in a very real and tangible fashion.
One of the things that we will begin seeing more and more of are miracles, signs, and wonders from God.
These things always increase when there is a fresh, more vivid demonstration of the reality and character of God.
They follow God around like sheep follow their shepherd.
Miracles, signs and wonders follow God around, He and we don't follow them around so to speak.
This podcast is devoted to highlighting one of those signs.
The sign is:
The visible shining of God in and upon people like it was for Stephen in chapter 6 in the Book of Acts.
It is going to be happening more and more all around the world as a sign pointing to Yeshua (Jesus).
It just might be you who will be a conduit for this particular expression of God's love.

Pure In Heart; More Than Just A Passing Phase
The Grinch, who stole Christmas, had a heart problem.
I had a heart problem.
All of us have or have had a real heart problem.
Jesus said, "Blessed are the "pure" in heart for they will see "God" (both now and more to come).
Pure relationship as a pure person whos is a child of a pure God is pure in it's purest form.
That's who God is transforming us into becoming... completely pure.
The blood of Jesus and His resurrection have secured for us who trust Him as our Savior and Lord:
A pure, eternal relationship God
Pure love
Pure Joy
Pure health
Pure frienships
Pure motives
Pure power
The list goes on eternally.
Pure for the long haul... eternally.
He frees us from the weight and confusion of impurity.

The invisible is being made visible.

Pure In Heart; Being Righteous
We've all heard it said that if we don't have our health it really doesn't matter if we are rich or poor.
Without our health we have a hard time enjoying anything.
The same goes for righteousness.
Righteousness literally means that everything is "all right" on the inside of our character; deep inside of our life.
If things are "out of order" on the inside it really doesn't matter how many things we possess.
We really can't and don't enjoy them (at least not for very long periods of time).
Righteousness gives way to peace and joy.
So, righteosness it is!!!

Pure In Heart; The Pedigree, Process, And Power, Of God To Us And Through Us As We Enact The Blood Of Jesus
I saw the rock group "Queen" perform while I lived in Berlin, Germany in 1978.
That was the year the songs "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" were first, just released.
It was an amazing show.
The song, "We Are The Champions" is a ballad about a person finally getting their due recognition.
They had champion "pedigree" even though others didn't see it.
Well, in all reality, those who belong to Jesus Christ are "The True Champions".
We have been given a supreme pedigee by God.
His very Life/Blood/Bloodline in Jesus the Messiah.
His pure blood is now our pure blood.
All of it.
We are learning how to grow in it and activate it's different qualities.
Whether anyone else sees it or not, we are and we are becoming the true champions of the world!

Pure In Heart; Pulling Weeds Or Planting Seeds?
Did you you know that the best way to completely get rid of weeds on your lawn is to plant plenty of strong, good grass seeds.
The strong, good, grass seeds will overtake the weaker weed roots if there is enough seed planted that take root.
The same goes with our inner life; our heart.
We need to plant new, strong, good thoughts and practices (along with the blood of Christ and the holy scriptures) as ways that we deal with distracting thoughts.

We Like To Keep Things "Real" Around Here
I'd rather hear someone say that "things are kind of hard right now" when that's the way things are "right now". Verses hearing them say, "everything is fine" when they aren't "fine" right now.
I've hit a place in this podcast where things are at a stand still for the moment.
I/we stand here waiting on the LORD for His next word for us regarding this podcast series and how He wants it to move forward.
I/we won't put together podcast episodes from our own heads and slap God's name on it.

I can now say, "Thank You God."
I wasn't saying that a few years ago.
It's amazing to me to see the things that God has and is using to bring you and me closer to Him.
T love ando become like Him.
To love and truly be one with us, His people.
However, a lot of the process stuff is pretty personal and can be embarrassing to admit because of it's content.
The fact is we are all a Work In Major Process (WIMP)
WIMPS are called and chosen by God to function in His Kingdom.

Being thick skinned and cold blooded is a major source of inspiration and motivation for a large segment of the population on planet Earth.
I have embraced and lived that way of doing things and called it "really living" life out on my terms.
Where did it lead me?
Beyond being unfulfilled.
I was in bondage to a way of degradation and death.
I couldn't help being the way I was at that time.
It took Jesus to set me free.

"I'm lost and I can't find my way home."
If you've ever been really lost, whether in a city or in the woods, you know the feeling.
The sinking feeling in your stomach.
The sense of panic and fear that wants to suck the air out of your lungs.
The sense of desperation that engulfs your thoughts.
The same goes for us spiritually.
However, unlike being lost in a city or the woods, it's good news when we realize that spiritually we're lost.
Because, the only way we can become aware of our lostness is by the Holy Spirit showing us our true condition.
Then he reveals to us "The Way" home.
It's through walking with Jesus all the Way.
Funny thing what else follows Jesus around; Miracles, signs, and wonders.
They did then and they still do now.
By following Him we get to be part of the demonstration of God's Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven.
But it all starts by realizing that we can't save ourselves; we're lost and can't even find our own way home.

The Miracles, Signs, And Wonders Of God (Intro)
I have to admit that at least 75 percent (In most of the Wesetern Hemisphere) of what we have called "Miracles, Signs, and Wonders" have been either slick marketing tools, cheap parlor tricks, blatant deception, slight of hand movement or misguided, good intentions.
That has left many of us (myself included) rather sketical and/or jaded.
All of that being said, that still doesn't negate their historical, current or future reality of God being God.
God demonstrates His "Godness"!
God is God.
He didn't, doesn't and won't need my/our approval of or permission for Him being God.
God is not me.
I am not God.
I serve God.
Praise God.

His will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven!

True Unity Throughout The Body Of Christ Will Happen; It's Not A Matter Of If, But When And To Whom
True, godly unity is way better than mere uniformity or unnamity.

Ironically unhealthy, worldly unity involves the same things.
It's a matter of whether we choose Eternal Life or Eternal Death.

I Used To Think My Short-Term Memory Loss Was Solely Due To The Vast Amount Of "Partying" I Did
Earth is a unique experience.
It's nothing like I thought it would be.
It's way more real!
It's rather effortless at times for me to remember the hurts other people have inflicted upon me.
It's also ironic how quickly I can forget things that are important, eternal, and impacting insights to live by.
I used to think my mixed up thinking was due to my previous, excessive, "partying" lifestyle.
Some of it is.
I now believe a lot of it was and is actually spiritual warfare.
Some type of external attempt trying hard to prevent the Kingdom of God from happening to me and through me.
Short-term memory loss along with a twisted ability to dwell on the negative can be, at times. attributed to malevolent spiritual beings interacting with the world we live in.
Fortunately, God is the "Supreme Leader and the True Victor"!

Sometimes feeling squezzed or feeling like life is a pressure cooker can lead a person to think that they've done something wron.
That's not always the case.
Sometimes it's because we're doing things correctly.
Sometimes we go through certain things because something more important is being developed that we can't see at the moment.

Some types of unity only take place as a result of us being "prepared" for it.
Some of the preparation can feel hard... because it is.

God Perspective On Unity (Part II Of III, Psalm 133; Ephesians 5:15-20).
"Doing the stuff" can often seem mundane and quite practical.
Like gladly helping out your fellow believer by periodically, happily, watching their children for a few hours, so they can get some rest (or whatever).
No charge and without bragging about it to others.
Changing the oil for a single mom.
Free, with no strings attached.
Opening the car door for your wife.
Naturally and consistantly especially when noone else is looking.
Paying for your fellow believers lunch.
Just for fun and provide a big tip when you leave.
You get the point.
God doesn't need us to advertise His love.
He wants us to demonstrate His love in everything we do.
Especially to others in the family of God!
So that the world may see for themselves the love of God in motion and say "I want and need what you have."

God's Pespective On Unity (Part I Of III, Ephesians 5:15-20).
Unity, not uniformity, is the call of God for us to live in and live by.
He loves unity... true unity.
Pseudo-unity is a farce.
Man-made, manufactured attempts at unity eventually lead to oppression and uniformity.
Fake unity always ends up with (again) an even greater divide between the haves and the have nots.
Love, God's love is at the core of all, true unity.
The only true way unity thrives is with a focus that is placed on God.
We need to practice living unity out in a radicalyl (core), intentional way.

Imitate Jesus.
What if I make a mistake?
You will.

Just go back and ask the Teacher (Jesus) why it didn't work.

Minister to everyone who comes to you or who God points out to you.
Don't come across as a obnoxious, "know it all".
Be confident, not arrogant.
Be prepared and don't procrastinate.

Removing the negative influence of the fear of people/man is best done by the love of God crowding it out from the inside out.

To be fearful of others is proven to be a spiritual snare that is designed to choke God's life giving Word and Kingdom out of us.

Another Way To Spell Faith: R.I.S.K. (Part I Of III).
If we wait until we know everything for sure... without a doubt, before we do anything risky; we won't do anything.
To walk in faith is to be a risk taker.
I'd rather make a mistake trying to be obedient than doi nothing because I'm afraid of doing something wrong!

Starting Over, Again (Part III Of III)!
God will resurrect unto Himself everything and everyone that belongs to Him.
If it's His, it will be resurrected to Eternal Life. If not... it has another outcome and it isn't Eternal Life.
If the purpose or vision that has died in your life is from God, it had to die (for many reasons) and then be resurrected (at various times throughout our life).
It takes a deep trust and a vibrant, living, loving relationship with God in order to trust Him with resurrecting something precious to us that died... not a fake death.
A real death and a real resurrection.
We get to experience a downpayment of that eternal inhertence now.
Praise God!

The Way We Leave One Place Is The Way We Will Arrive At The Next Place
"What I need is a change... I can't stand this place. The people here drive me nuts. I hate my boss!"
Thoughts and words like that are all over the place regarding a variety of different situations ranging from vocations to relationships.
Changing locations or relationships never solves a problem.
The only way to solve the problem is to deal with it.
Only you and God can truly change the way you do things.

Making Things Right
It's one thing to say, "I'm sorry I stole your rake." It's quite another thing to say, "I'm sorry I stole your rake. I'd like to buy you a nice leaf blower and a rake." Making things right sometimes involves more than just words... it takes some other type of action. That's what this podcast is all about... Making things right one another (with God first, of course).

Breaking The Cycle Of Addiction
It can be devastating to have to say to someone, "I fell flat on my face, again."
Anyone who has ever or is struglling with addiction knows the shame, guilt and fear that go along with that nemesis.
How many times?
To many times to count.
I have often felt like the boy who cried wolf.
Dozens, if not more, of starts and stops.

Denial
Have you ever been the person who refused to call a problem a problem.?
Maybe you've called it a difference of opinion.
Or, maybe you've said, I'm not the one with the problem, you're the one with the problem.
Or, last but not least, maybe you've said, I wish people would just get off my back!
We've all heard the "Denial is not the river (Nile) that runs through Egypt."
In this episode we are addressing the solution to living in denial.
So that we can actually experience true freedom from the things that have kept us bound to destruction.

Addictions
Too many years of my life were spent on me plucking the fruit and leaves off of my tree of addictions in hopes that they wouldn't grow back. But, they did, every time. Until... I got to the root and invited God to help me kill it. He did, I did and the some fruit is actually, now dead and a couple areas of the remaining ones are dying. Those that have died are not coming back (and it's been long enough for me and those close to me to notice). So, I'm here (it's by choice and not for money) to share not only my story but to help provide some help.

Jesus Christ, My Lord
I remember one of the first times I said, "Praise the Lord" out loud and I meant it... I was nervous and a little bit shy. I loved Him. But, I had seen alot of people, what I classified as phonies, running around and making serving God look dumb. I didn't want to be lumped into their group.
Now I know that just because someone made saying that look kind of creepy didn't negate the reality and the wonder of His Lordship. is supreme.. not just "The Man Upstairs"... He is: LORD/BOSS/MASTER/KING/RULER OVER ALL/MAJESTY!

We are done asking except for these two: 1) What if Jesus Christ were literally the Big Boss over you and your entire crew, even the competition?

"Beating Around The Bush?"
I have never actually seen someone use a stick and start beating around a box elder bush unless they were on drugs. Then, I've seen things way crazier things than that one.
Come to find out "beating around the bush" is term for an old English hunting method of beating a bush to drive out the game that was being hunted. Well, apparently there were better methods of getting the job done... a more direct approach. So we now have the term "beating around the bush." That's kind of like what this episode is about, maybe.

Don't "Pull My Leg"!
One thing Jesus never did when telling a story was to "pull their leg". You know, tell them "a whopper", "pull the wool overe their eyes", or do the old "just kidding" move. He knew how and when to laugh, cry, get angry, etc. He never tried to trick someone into doing something. He came to express what our heavenly Father is really like... visibly, as a grown man, old enogh to be your Father if you were a kid.

Living Out The Life Of Jesus... Being Continually Filled With The Holy Spirit
One morning you go to start your car and it won't turn over. You get a jump start and let it run for a couple of minutes to charge up but your car runs out of gas. That is pretty extreme on one hand. On the other hand it makes for a great illustration regarding life on Earth... it can be, is and will be like this until Jesus returns. ..Earth is a drain on all of us. Earth, the broken, brutal, dog-eat-dog world we live in drains us mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically, finanacially, etc. We don't stay full. We need to keep getting a re-supply or we will eventually run dry. Many of us know that feeling, spiritually far too, well. This episode is designed to help provide a couple of reminders or new insights on how to get and stay filled up or "refilled".

What Am I Holding Onto?
What happens when you run out of your own abilities, time and options? We live in a world that, by nature, is a drain on our minds, emotions, bodies and spirits. We can get drained by doing absolutelty nothing except waking up and working like normal. It's like living in a coal mine. We get coal dust on us just by being in the mine. We can get drained just by living in a broken, dying, hurting and lost world. We need to be able to hold onto something and get filled with New Life over and over again. Otherwise we walk around weak and anemic spiritually and emotionally.

The Process Of Developing How To Hear God Speak
When you think about it, we all have a variety of ways we speak without saying a word out loud. A nod, a smile, making a face at a baby, our presence, our moods, etc. God is a Being that has the same abilities and more... other than audible communication. In fact, it seems like most of the things in life are non-verbal boith with us and with God. It's just that we live in a noisy, cluttered, broken world. It not only can be, it is a challenge to quiet things down in the culture that we live in. Regardless, if we want to grow and develop in our relationship with God and one another we need to be able to dial things down, find a quiet place and do a fair amount of listening to what seems like nothing but internal voice noise... until it stops. Then the Holy Spirit oif God can begin to communicate to us in His God-unique ways. Let's see what this episode has in it about that stuff...
