╫ The Fires of Hatred: How Jesus Responds [PODCAST]

The recent killing of George Floyd by a police officer sparked protests and even violent riots across the United States.

The recent killing of George Floyd by a police officer sparked protests and even violent riots across the United States. The god of this world (Satan) takes joy in segregation, discrimination, violence, and all expressions of hatred. While the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob takes joy in our unity, patience, and love for all people and righteousness.

Unbeknown to many, Jesus faced many of the same problems rooted in hate that we face today. There were many "flames on the rise" in the first century and Jesus chose to strategically respond to them in order to teach us how to respond to similar sins in our times. In this teaching, we will discuss the historical and cultural context of one of Jesus' most famous encounters to better understand what God expects of us these pressing times. How you act today matters in light of eternity and you may not even know it - you are being tested as His Bride, but how will you respond?

╫ The Biggest Reason You'll Struggle to Walk in Spiritual Gifts [PODCAST]

In some movements, certain, or all spiritual gifts are thrown aside as unimportant.

In some movements, certain, or all spiritual gifts are thrown aside as unimportant. This is a grave error and leads to a lack of power in the lives of believers, causing them to struggle to walk out the commission given by the Messiah. In this teaching, we will discuss one of the biggest reasons some are unable to powerfully walk in spiritual gifts, and how to get rid of this barrier so we may enter into walking in the gift Father has set apart for us.

╫ The Fire of the Holy Spirit - Shavuot 2020 [PODCAST]

Many modern believers have found themselves in a religion that has drifted from the exciting normality of the first-century church.

Many modern believers have found themselves in a religion that has drifted from the exciting normality of the first-century church. The Holy Spirit's role was recognized as absolutely necessary in the life of every believer for them to make a valuable contribution to the Body of Christ through their own spiritual gifts. Holy Spirit didn't get a "sideline role" as we often see today but was valued to be just as important as Jesus' dwelling with men in the flesh was. This is what it is supposed to look like and why Jesus said it is "good" for Him to go and Holy Spirit to take His place in terms of the earthy presence.

John the Baptist prophesied that there will come one after him who will baptize in the Holy Spirit and Fire. What is this Holy Spirit and Fire baptism, and how does it impact our lives? You may be surprised to learn how this has a lot to do with what the Bible teaches regarding sacrifices within Jesus' priesthood, and spiritual gifts.

And once we understand the importance of spiritual gifts and sacrifice, this revelation drives us deeper in communion with Him so we may make His Holy Spirit an even more integral part of our lives than what modern-day believers may consider "normal". May the 'new normal' be that Holy Spirit gets on the forefront of our lives to empower us to be effective and powerful warriors for God's Kingdom.

╫ Knowing God's Will: Peter’s Test [PODCAST]

Just before the crucifixion Jesus told His disciples to take swords as they were leaving for the garden.

Just before the crucifixion Jesus told His disciples to take swords as they were leaving for the garden. But why would Jesus instruct them to take swords, only to later correct Peter for using it as he cuts the ear of the high priests' servant? In this teaching, we will discuss this question in relation to biblical prophecy, knowing the will of God, being zealous like Peter, and the relevance of the Garden of Gethsemane to this event.

I hope this revelation blesses you as it has me!

╫ Identifying the Religious Spirit - 7 Attributes [PODCAST]

From perhaps the beginning, Satan has tried to implant a religious spirit in our hearts - one of pride, self-seeking, and one that hates the workings of the Holy Spirit.

From perhaps the beginning, Satan has tried to implant a religious spirit in our hearts - one of pride, self-seeking, and one that hates the workings of the Holy Spirit. And unfortunately, the religious spirit is hard to detect by those who have it. In this video, we will look at various attributes of the religious spirit so you may audit your heart to easily identify any of its influence in your life.

Freedom from a religious spirit will mean more of His Holy Spirit this Pentecost!

╫ Making Sacrifices - Torah Portion: Say [PODCAST]

We often find that the physical observances the Father asks us to do, while important, are only the "tip of the iceberg".

We often find that the physical observances the Father asks us to do, while important, are only the "tip of the iceberg". What He is sometimes even more interested in is the transformation of our hearts and learning of the intended spiritual lessons that come with the physical observances.

And the book of Leviticus is no different. While it has often been considered as too "weird", inapplicable or even incompatible to our modern lives. That perspective misses perhaps most of the purpose of the Levitical instructions. That is: To teach us about making sacrifices, which we ought to do for our Father even today.

In this teaching, we will uncover some of the amazing depth Leviticus teaches us regarding sacrifices and how it is applicable to our lives today.

Torah Portion: Emor / Say / אמור

╫ 1 Excellent Reason Paul is a True Apostle [PODCAST]

Those who reject Paul as a False Apostle typically cite a large number of "reasons" to attempt to persuade the reader that their case is stronger.

Those who reject Paul as a False Apostle typically cite a large number of "reasons" to attempt to persuade the reader that their case is stronger. However, if their stance was correct, they would only need one: That the rest of the apostles denied Paul. But the opposite is true, and this actually becomes one of the strongest reasons for how we know Paul is a true Apostle! See the proof text discussed in this video.

╫ False Prophets Arising - What Will You Choose? [PODCAST]

We are entering an age where more and more false prophets will start arising.

We are entering an age where more and more false prophets will start arising. Last year at the feast of Sukkot in Texas, I spoke on this very idea, and we are seeing it come to fruition in 2020. These false prophets will be allowed by God to go forth to test His people, to see where their hearts are (Deut 13). These false prophets will also be used by the enemy to accomplish certain goals and deceive in certain ways. I hope this teaching edifies you in understanding the deceptions of the enemy in this season so you may defend you and your family against false and dangerous teaching.
