We don't always understand why we get sick, or why suffering comes across our paths. Just last weekend after a fruitful time at a conference with many healed, we came down with the flu. How do we explain praying for the sick, when we can't even "take ourselves down from the cross"? Yes, God could have stopped it all and taken Yeshua off the cross in the midst of it, but He didn't - for there was a purpose for His suffering. In fact, His suffering and ultimate death on the cross became the best thing that has ever happened to the world. What if when we walk as He did and remain in covenant with Him, our suffering yields the same fruit? What if our suffering, instead of it being without purpose, can bring glory to the Kingdom of God if we yield ourselves into His hands. He never said this walk would be easy, in fact, He said we would suffer the same things He did. Therefore we rejoice in our suffering and pray for it to change lives in the most mysterious ways only God can work. This is a story of how our seemingly "bad situation" at an airport last weekend got turned around to become life-changing events for people around us.

The hardest commandment ever given to man is a commandment given to men. In Ephesians 5, men are instructed to love their wives "as Christ loves the church". The disunity in marriages is a primary reason for the disparity and suffering in the world, and even in Christian fellowships. As men, we have often failed this commandment to love radically, and so we have failed to be a picture of the world of Christ and His Bride. This is the hardest commandment, and this is how to love as Yeshua loved.

We saw great miracles this past weekend at the Freedom Reigns - Men's Conference, and here is some of it. God is pouring His Spirit upon His people!

What is true faith? We may understand that our walk with Jesus means that we make changes in our lives to reflect the lifestyle He asked of us to have - to stop sinning. But does it stop there? Why so often do we disconnect the notion that faith is action from spiritual giftings? We say we believe God desires us to speak in tongues, yet never open our mouths to speak. We say we believe God desires us to pray for the sick, yet never lay our hands to pray. Do we truly believe? Because our actions will prove if we do. And if you feel like you don't have faith, be bold and step out! Your actions will build it.

Sometimes I wonder, don't we often get so caught up in the latest piece of "knowledge" that is floating around, or winning the next theological debate, that we miss the person on the street on the way to the next conference? While Jesus certainly knew scripture, and we must know scripture well - He applied scripture. The knowledge that goes unapplied leavens and puffs up, but Jesus calls up to be unleavened, thereby applying the knowledge He reveals to us. He didn't just give you the knowledge and intellect to have a Bible study with others who are just as smart as you, He gave it so you may set others free with it, especially the audience He was among most often - the poor, blind, and sick of this world.

Acts 15's meeting of the Jerusalem council is often used to explain that Christians/non-Jews are not required to keep the law of God. But rather only a few commandments. That Jesus has come to fulfill the law so we don't need to, and the laws given by God in the old testament are completely abolished; and if we are to keep them, we are to bring Jesus' sacrifice to naught. Was this the conclusion of the Apostles? If so, why were they giving commandments of Leviticus at the same meeting to gentiles, even "abolished" dietary laws? And why were they encouraging gentiles to attend synagogues where the law was taught? Acts 15 is extremely misunderstood by many. I hope this brings clarity.

What is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Many have said it is simply the act of denying Jesus as Messiah, denying the law of God, or that we cannot commit this unforgivable sin anymore because Jesus no longer walks the Earth. But is that it? Since this sin is described as being among the most serious in all of scripture, surely it deserves a second, yet balanced look. Understanding the context of Jesus' teaching regarding this (His encounter with the Pharisees) gives clarity, where the Pharisees call the works of the Holy Spirit, that of a demon. But later, the disciples have a similar encounter and call Jesus walking on water, a "ghost". What is the difference then? There are only two kingdoms, you either gather or scatter abroad and those whom He has gathered, will not commit this sin. This is a redone video to better explain this topic. While my position regarding the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit hasn’t changed, in this video I will not only explain what it is; but also answer some questions that were asked on the previous video. Many came to the previous video hoping to understand whether they have themselves blasphemed the Holy Spirit. I do not wish anyone to mistakenly diagnose themselves as having blasphemed the Holy Spirit when in reality they have not and thereby feel separated from God. And so I attempted to help those with this burning question come to an answer that is biblical and balanced.

When Jesus came, it wasn't just about gathering a crowd, He came to make disciples. Men as warriors who will not only follow Him but continue His mission of fighting the war against the Kingdom of darkness that continues today. God calls us all to be warriors for Him - to set the captives free and be a light to the nations. But we are part of an army unlike any other army of this world. All the other armies need to pick up their own weapons and fight their own fights. Our God fights for us. We only need to show up and have faith. From the fall of the walls of Jericho to the splitting of the sea, our God fights for us and makes our enemies flee. Torah Portion: Beha'alotcha | When you set up | בהעלותך

Darrell came to the WayWalk conference, where God drew Him for a purpose: Darrell was about to have 3 days of witnessing God heal his body radically and instantly in multiple ways - over and over again. This is a beautiful story and testimony you don't want to miss hearing. Testimony shared by: Darrell Lee
