Episode 164: What does it mean to be In Christ?
What does it mean to be In Christ? It is amazing how many times the Bible mentions “in Christ”, Christ in you and Christ formed in us. Without this important revelation, it is extremely impossible to have a deep, close relationship with God. Without the unity and oneness, we have with him, how can we fully understand the unconditional love of the Father? We can’t understand his love just by reading the Bible, because that is an external relationship. Understanding the unconditional love comes only from an inward relationship.

Episode 163: The Institutionalized Jesus Verses the Real Jesus
The Institutionalized Jesus Verses the Real JesusThink back when you first started hearing about Jesus, there seems to be a dichotomy regarding who Jesus really is and why he was sent to earth. There is outward Jesus that walked the earth over 2 thousand years ago and mankind decided to organize a religion after him (the man-made Jesus) and we have been taught for many years about him, then there is the inner Jesus (Christ in you) is being revealed to us and in us layer by layer. So, we must distinguish between what we were taught about Jesus and what we were told to believe about him and the Jesus that Holy Spirit has awakened us to see and experience.By the time of the council of Nicaea in the 4th century, orthodox Christianity had begun to solidify. A cannon was forming, a narrative was being shaped, and anything that challenged that structure was labeled heresy. Typically, folks don’t question the structure of the system set up by the so-called experts. We are here today to provoke awareness and to question the institution that was set up millennials ago. What if the truth they hid just about Jesus but was about you? The difference between the institutional Jesus and the real Jesus; one points outward and the other points inward. One builds a path based on belief, structure and authority. The other opens a path of awareness, discovery and transformation. Which one seems more real and exciting to you? These 2 visions are not necessarily in conflict. They represent 2 different stages of understanding. The external path can guide and provide structure. It can introduce meaning, however the inner path transforms. It dissolves illusion and can reveal what cannot be taught only realized.

Episode 162: Faith Matters Part 2 - Now faith for our everyday life
Faith Matters – Now faith in our everyday livesNow faith plays a vital role in shaping the way we view the world, inspiring hope, and guiding us through life's challenges. By examining how NOW faith influences our perspectives, we can better understand its impact on our daily lives and relationships.Now faith does not push things off into some future event or to life after death.Hebrews 11The Power of Bold Faith1 Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen. Faith originates from a deep inner trust and openness to the divine, rather than external circumstances or mere intellectual agreement. It often begins as a small seed within us—like the mustard seed Jesus described—and grows as we nurture it through openness, surrender, and transformation. As we move beyond the limitations of the rational mind and cultural conditioning, faith is awakened and strengthened by direct experience and inner awareness of God's presence. Ultimately, now faith flows from an ongoing, living relationship with God, cultivated by listening, openness, and a willingness to be transformed.Check out our YouTube Channel at Kingdom Building 2.0

Episode 161: Faith Matters - Introduction - Mis-placed Faith - Part 1
Faith Matters - Introduction - Mis-placed Faith - Part 1We are going to do a 3-week series on the topic, faith matters. It may not be what you think. This may not be your typical discussion on faith."Faith" is primarily a noun, but it is frequently described as a verb in theological and practical contexts, emphasizing active trust rather than just passive belief. As a noun, it refers to belief, trust, or loyalty, while in practice, it is often viewed as a verb representing active trust and action.Have you ever heard someone ask, what is your faith? I am of the (insert the denomination) faith?Mis-placed Faith – Faith vs TrustFaith is the Intellectual belief and conviction in something not yet seen , while trust is the active, application of that faith. Faith believes God can do something / trust is resting in him even when the outcome is delayed. Faith is the foundation, trust is activating an expression of that belief.Growing up in the church, most of us have been programed into believing into someone else’s idea of what your faith should look like or be like and many never break away from it. People have been forced out of local bodies and denominations due to having a belief contrary to that particular set of statutes and beliefs. The truth is that if you get 5 people from any denomination in a room and find out what they believe, you will probably get some different views. The sad thing is they don’t want to ruffle feathers, so they keep it to themselves in fear of being dis-enfranchised. Why is the church so set in their ways that they don’t encourage folks to explore and search on their own. Serving a set of doctrines and right and wrongs stifles any creativity a person might be led of God to share.Check out our YouTube channel

Episode 160: God and Man: Our Divine Connection
Understanding Our Divine NatureWe often underestimate how similar we are to God. The connection between God and humanity is deeper than many realize, challenging the boundaries we have accepted about ourselves.God in the Old Testament versus the Father in the New TestamentLast week, we discussed the distinctions between the God portrayed in the Old Testament and the Father revealed in the New Testament. This comparison encourages us to rethink how we view divinity and our relationship with God.Father has shared his divine nature with us. Are we divine beings?This perspective suggests that divinity is not something external, but rather an inherent part of our being, bestowed upon us through our connection with God. Our capacity for creativity, compassion, forgiveness, and transformation are expressions of this divine nature. We are encouraged to transcend the limitations imposed by tradition or fear and embrace our potential as beings created in God’s image. Wherever we are right now, there is so much more. Don’t let anything stop us from progressing to the next level of glory which is only found in us.Check out our YouTube channel at Kingdom Building 2.0

Episode 159: The Old Testament God Verses The New Testament Father
The Bible has no authority on its own, it only has the authority we give it. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have great value, it means that it was never meant to replace our own inner guidance system. The higher calling has always been, listen within because the spirit still speaks.There is a huge difference between reading about the Jewish interpretation of God (the Law God) found in the Old Testament and the loving, compassionate, full of grace Father of the New Testament that Jesus portrays. Someone might say, before Moses, there was no law per say, however the Pentateuch which is the first five books of the Bible—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy is collectively known in Jewish tradition as the Torah or the law which is known to be written by Moses. So, the Law is throughout the OT and even found in the NT in parts because folks have a difficult time realizing that we have been freed. The early church struggled with what to do with the law and sadly, the church of today still struggles with it.Check our YouTube channel - Kingdom Building 2.0The word father in the KJV is not capitalized in the OT. In the NT father is treated more as a relational term (our Father). Father is the same yesterday today and forever. Why is there so much inconsistency between the old and new Testaments regarding God? We are going to dive into this and hopefully at the end, you will get some answers to this conflict.The writers of the OT try to humanize God with human emotions. God is not human and cannot have lower-level human emotions. His thoughts and ways are much higher than that. Let’s start with how God was described in the OT. He was jealous, angry, regretful, and vengeful. Doesn’t that sound like emotions many of us have experienced in our lives? Or some people you know? God is spirit not human (male nor female), however Jesus descended to earth as a male for a 33 year period.The OT portrays a transaction not a relationship. If you do this for me, then I’ll do this for you, a Quid pro quo. I’ll try to be a good boy then you won’t be mad at me when I mess up. I had great parents, however when I messed up, I was the recipient of a few licks on my hind parts. My dad was tougher on me than my mom. That was the mindset back then. I would be sent to my room to wait for what was to come, which the waiting was almost worse than the licks. I thank God for the strictness of my parents. Many believe and I was one that if you are good then you will be blessed, but if you are bad, then God would take us to the woodshed.

Episode 158: Whole Lotta Shaken Going On
I want to start off by saying the shaking we are going to be talking about is a very good thing. We are living in some exciting times.Disclaimer: Yes, we believe the organized, structured church system is being shaken to its core.In 2025 and today, in the United States churches are dying at the rate of 15,000 a year. Every month over around 1,500 – 1,700 pastors are leaving ministry. (We love the church and we love the leaders); what we are discussing and focusing on tonight is a transition and transformation which is already taking place in the church today. We are here to encourage everyone, and many have already embraced the transition from business as usual into the freedom found in the kingdom and all it takes is a change of thinking. We are not encouraging you to leave the fellowship you are attending. Transition is the time between your internal awakening and its external manifestation. Transformation is an inward change from old to new. Check out our YouTube channel at Kingdom Building 2.0

Episode 157: Practical Kingdom Living - Overcoming Tests Part 3
When it comes to overcoming tests and trials, it comes down to our attitude on how we get through. Tests can make us bitter or better.Tests and trials are going to come our way, regardless of our spiritual condition and attitude. It’s how we handle them that determines how it affects us.Overcoming tests in life requires a shift in perspective. Instead of viewing difficulties as obstacles meant to derail you, see them as opportunities for growth and spiritual maturity. When you trust that God is not only with you, but in you during these trials, you can approach each challenge with confidence, knowing that every experience is designed to bring out the best in you.

Episode 156: Practical Kingdom Living - removing fear and doubt pt 2
Practical Kingdom Living - removing fear and doubt pt 2We first must identify where fear comes from. We identify and then release the beliefs that limit us, recognizing fear as a sign. We can get victory over fear and doubt and your breakthrough is now.Isn’t love the greatest equalizer when it comes to fear?1 John 4:18 Love never brings fear, for fear is always related to punishment. But love’s perfection drives the fear of punishment far from our hearts.Fear has been used in the church to scare and intimidate people into believing a lie about God. You can’t fear folks into the Kingdom. It is his love and goodness that leads a person into repentance, which is a change in our thinking.. Fearfulness is a parasite; spiritually speaking, fear lives on a false perception of ourselves and drives away divine guidance and produces weakness in the heart.Check out our YouTube channel at Kingdom Building 2.0Contact us at [email protected]

Episode 155: Practical Kingdom Living - Manifestation
Practical Kingdom Living – manifestation I believe it would be beneficial to explore how we can apply these principles in our daily lives.Manifestation is turning your thoughts, beliefs, and desires into physical reality through focused intention and action, essentially "bringing it into being". It's more than just wishing; it involves aligning your mindset, emotions, and behaviors. manifestation--The materialization of a Truth idea; the coming forth into visibility of that which has been affirmed.How do we manifest kingdom living?We must answer the call to our awakening of what lies dormant in us. Each day we should be aware of our thoughts, feelings, and the words that come out our mouths, then we can align with the Christ in us, which is our hope of glory. After all of that, we begin to remember and start to see things from a heavenly perspective.In the coming weeks we will be discussing the 7 Rules of Manifestation.Check out our YouTube channel at Kingdom Building 2.0You can reach us at [email protected]

Episode 153: Have you Heard the Call - Part 2 Awakening and Awareness
Awareness vs AwakeningWhat is Spiritual AwarenessSpiritual awareness is the conscious recognition of your inner self and your connection to a greater reality, which is union with God. It goes beyond simply noticing your thoughts and feelings; it involves perceiving the deeper meaning behind experiences and understanding your place within a larger spiritual context. This awareness opens you to transformation, fosters humility, and encourages you to live with greater purpose and authenticity. By becoming spiritually aware, you become more attuned to divine guidance and can respond to life with wisdom and compassion.Awareness is not a state to achieve but recognizing what you already are. It’s not lacking anything, it just is.

The mysteries of prayer revealed Part 2Many of you have recently experienced a shift or awakening in our prayer life. You may experience an excitement with a little uncertainty. We aren’t praying like we used to pray. Our prayer life has shifted from focusing on ourselves to focusing on him and our oneness. Changes are coming not only in our prayer life but in how we live day to day. We are living in a time where we are ascending into the heavenlies.

Episode 149: The Mysteries of Prayer Revealed
What is prayer?Pure and simple, Prayer is communion between God and man. This communion takes place in the innermost part of man's being.As we said earlier, Prayer is communicating with God, but it has different aspects such as petitioning, praising or giving thanks, among other types of prayer.Typically, when we are new to prayer we perceive it to be outward. Praying to an external God out there somewhere.As we continue to grow in Christ, we will notice a change in our prayer life. As our relationship grows in Christ, our prayer life grows. We start to see maturity as we engage the father. We experience an awakening inside of us that helps us realize that the Kingdom of God is within us not out there somewhere. God is not afar off, but he actually resides in us. This realization is transforming and allows us to see father, son and holy spirit in a much different way. As a babe in Christ, God’s love and grace allows us to pray as a babe, what does that look like?Check out our YouTube Channel - Kingdom Building 2.0

Episode 148: Kingdom Alignment
Kingdom AlignmentAn alignment in a person means their inner world (thoughts, values, beliefs, intuition) matches their outer actions, leading to a feeling of congruence (agreement), purpose, joy, and effortless flow in life, rather than feeling stuck, frustrated, or like we are forcing things, trying to make things happen.Think about that for a second. Imagine your life aligned with God to the point where there is perfect harmony, where your thoughts, words and actions agree with God. That is where you find real peace and contentment. With this comes a life with less struggles and stress, Challenges appear to be effortless. Now that is a victorious life filled with abundance.

Episode 147: Did God Really Create Evil? Isaiah 45:7
Did God Create Evil? Exploring Its Origins and ImplicationsThis is a topic that has been in the making for months. It is a topic that will make you think about who God really is.IntroductionToday, we are going to explore the question, "Did God create evil?" by first considering global theological perspectives and then examining how these concepts relate to our everyday experiences.Exploring the Origin of EvilTo address the question, "Did God create evil?" we begin with a broad perspective before narrowing our focus to practical implications in daily life.There has been many thoughts and discussions on this subject throughout the years and this verse in Isa 45:7 can definitely cause some confusion. I form the light (in us), and create (cut out)darkness: I make peace (in us), and create (cut out) evil: I the LORD (Jehovah) do all these things.I looked up the word create and was surprised to find out one of its meanings.A root word for the Hebrew word create (baw-raw) meaning to cut out. Re-read verse and replace the word create with cut out. Here is another example of how difficult at times to translate words from the Hebrew to English.We were created in God’s image and likeness and then the fall. We learn to be selfish and think about self. Check out our YouTube channel at Kingdom Building 2.0Email - [email protected]

Episode 146: Spiritual Awakening to the Christ Within
Spiritual Awakening to the Christ WithinWe talked last week on enlightenment and how important it is to truly see God and ourselves for who we really are. Today we are going to continue discussing our spiritual awakening and the high frequency that comes with it. Enlightenment or spiritual awakening breaks us free from being imprisoned or bogged down by this earthly realm and we begin the ascent into the heavenly realm found within each one of us. John the revelator wrote in Revelation 4: 1Then suddenly, after I wrote down these messages, I saw a portal open into the heavenly realm, and the same trumpet-voice I heard speaking with me at the beginning said, “Ascend into this realm! I want to reveal to you what must happen after this. (in you)” Next stagePortal - a doorway, gate, or other entrance. Metaphorically speaking, we must walk through that doorway that Jesus encourages us to enter. When you do, he will open up to you a life that is beyond anything you could possibly imagine.Visit our Kingdom Building 2.0 YouTube Channel email us at [email protected]

Episode 145: Enlightenment - is not new age; it"s NOW age
Enlightenment is not new age; (now age) – We are God’s enlightened peopleJob is believed by many to be the oldest book in the Bible. Job 33:30 speaks of enlightenment.To bring his life back from the pit [of destruction],That he may be enlightened (shine) with the light of the living.To be enlightened means to have gained a profound understanding, awareness, clarity, and a spiritual awakening, leading to inner peace and a sense of liberation. Old things pass away and all things become new. Ultimately, it involves seeing God with a new perspective; a higher consciousness and realizing a deeper connection to him. The definition of consciousness is heart/mind coherence (harmony and oneness). Christ consciousness is when we become aligned with the father’s heart and realize our true identity as sons and daughters of the most high. Mind of Christ. Seek the liberator not the liberation.Eph 1:18And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God's people),What a loving Father!Check out our YouTube channel at Kingdom Building 2.0

Episode 144: Focusing on the Kingdom of God - seeing, entering and experiemcing God's Kingdom Pt 3
Focusing on the Kingdom of God Within: Seeing, Entering, and Experiencing God’s Kingdom (Part 3)Manifesting the Kingdom Within: Embracing a Kingdom LifestyleDuring the first two weeks, we explored the concepts that the Kingdom of God is both present now and resides within us. Recognizing that the kingdom is accessible today and lives within each believer, is the foundation for witnessing its manifestation in and through our lives. Manifest means making known what has been unknown or hidden. God manifest in the flesh.Understanding Manifestation in the KingdomIn biblical terms, "manifestation" refers to making something evident, clear, or visible—especially when God reveals Himself, His power, or His will through us. While we might associate manifesting the kingdom with miracles, visions, or dreams, it is equally important to remember that the kingdom of God is manifested in our everyday lives, through our actions, attitudes, and relationships.Seeking the Kingdom: The Continuous PursuitTo manifest the Kingdom of God, it is necessary to seek it diligently and consistently. Scripture encourages us in John 6:33: "So above all, constantly seek (focus on) God’s kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly." Just as we cannot find lost keys without first searching for them, we must intentionally pursue God’s kingdom to experience its reality.Eph 4:13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.The Glory to Be Revealed in UsRomans 8:18-19 declares, "I am convinced that any suffering we endure is less than nothing compared to the magnitude of glory that is about to be unveiled within us. The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters!" Those engaging with these truths are part of the community of believers for whom creation eagerly waits, looking forward to the revelation of God’s work within us. I believe those listening to us today are part of this company of believers that the universe is waiting for [email protected] us out on our YouTube Channel at Kingdom Building 2.0

Episode 143: Focusing on the Kingdom - Seeing, entering and experiencing God's Kingdom Pt. 2
Focus on the Kingdom of God – see, enter and experience God’s kingdom Pt. 2If there is ever a message the world needs to hear, it’s the message of the kingdom within, because everything we need in this journey is within each and every one of us NOW. Don’t push off in the future what is already here now.Understanding and Experiencing the Kingdom of God within usLast week we talked about how you don’t have to die to experience the kingdom. This week we are going to discuss the kingdom within us. There are many scriptures referring to the kingdom within, however there are two that stand out. 1John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. No matter what the world throws at us, we can overcome the world because of his light in us. The kingdom of darkness is all around us, but he has placed us in a cocoon. We are in a protective bubble that gives us the ability to recognize and protect us from the darkness that tries to consume us. A little bitty light can dispel a lot of darkness. Go into a dark room and light a match and see darkness flee.Col 1:26 There is a divine mystery—a secret surprise that has been concealed from the world for generations, but now it’s being revealed, unfolded and manifested for every holy believer to experience. 27 Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for his people, and God wants everyone to know it!We must not see our union as God and me. We are both one. One is one, not that God is out there in the cosmos somewhere and I am here. Jesus said, the father and I are one, then he goes on to say, “I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Is that not one. I was taught that Jesus and the father are one, but they would stop short of the father, Jesus and I am one, because that would suggest that if we are one, then God has shared his divinity with us. In Phil 2:5, Paul said that the way Jesus saw himself is the way we should see ourselves. Weren’t we created in God’s image and likeness? Weren’t we also told to be partakers of his divine nature, and doesn’t the Bible say that when we see him as he is, we will be like him? We are being transformed into his image. Our minds are being renewed and transformed into him.Focusing on the Kingdom of GodAs believers, our attention is called to the Kingdom of God — to see, enter, and truly experience the reality of God’s reign. The Kingdom is not something external or remote; rather, it is present within each of us. This profound truth is echoed in the words of Jesus in Luke 17:21: “The kingdom is not discovered in one place or another, for God’s kingdom realm is already expanding within some of you.” 2Ti 1:14Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to youLiving from the Inside OutTo experience the fullness of God’s Kingdom, we must learn to live from the inside out. This means aligning our hearts and lives with the work and guidance of the Holy Spirit, allowing God’s reign to transform us from within. When we do so, we are able to tap into the richness and abundance that His Kingdom offers.We have a treasure trove of everything we need living right inside of us. [email protected]

Episode 142: Focus on the Kingdom of God Pt 1-see, enter and experience the Kingdom of God
Focus on the Kingdom Within – see, enter and experience the Kingdom of GodWhere is God’s Kingdom and how do we see, enter and experience the Kingdom of God? How can we have a podcast called Kingdom Building without talking about the Kingdom of God?The word focus is defined as the ability to direct and concentrate your attention, energy, or effort on a specific point, task, or goal, while excluding distractions.As you reflect on your priorities, remember to place the Kingdom at the center of all your decisions and actions. Let its values guide your daily life and influence your relationships, goals, and aspirations.We don’t have to die to see, enter and experience the Kingdom of God.Luke 9:27 “I promise you this: there are some of you standing here right now who will not die until you have witnessed the presence and the power of God’s kingdom realm.”The kingdom is a spiritual realm, not a place in the natural realm. The spiritual realm is a non-physical, parallel dimension of existence that is understood to be inhabited by spiritual beings. We are spiritual beings experiencing a human existence.The Kingdom of God is a wonderful realm, and God has provided his kingdom as a place for us to live in. It is a place or realm where the cares of the world and the trials of life can’t affect us as much as when we choose to only live in a lower realm called earth. There is joy there, there is peace there. We experience God’s kingdom when we cast our cares on him and when we realize that his burden is light and most importantly, he loves us regardless of the mistakes we have made.Rom 14:17 For the kingdom ofGod is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.When we are talking about the Kingdom of God, here are 5 basic truths that we are going to discuss (over the next 3 weeks):1. The Kingdom is now available to all, with no exceptions. Mark 1:15 “At last the fulfillment of the age has come! It is time for God’s kingdom to be experienced in its fullness! 2. The Kingdom of God is within all of us. It is found in the realm of the Holy Spirit, where God reigns. Luke17:21 The kingdom is not discovered in one place or another, for God’s kingdom realm is already expanding within some of you.” 3. The next thing we must do to understand the Kingdom of God is to constantly seek it. John 6:33 So above all, constantly seek (focus on) God’s kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly. We can’t find something without first looking for it. (lost keys)4. We must see (with our spiritual eyes) the kingdom before entering it. (water and spirit) John 3:3 Before a person can even perceive God’s kingdom, they must first experience a rebirth.” Verse 5 Unless you are born of water and the Spirit, you will never enter God’s kingdom.5. Flesh and blood cannot inherit nor be part of the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable (mortal) inherit the imperishable (immortal). 1Cor15:50 flesh and blood are not able to inherit God’s kingdom realm, and neither will that which is decaying be able to inherit what is [email protected]

Love is not just an emotion, but a deliberate action that brings healing, unity, and hope to our lives and communities. By making love our priority, we create space for restoration and growth among ourselves.Romans 11: 5 And that is but one example of what God is doing in this age of fulfillment, for God’s grace empowers his chosen remnant. 6 And since it is by God’s grace, it can’t be a matter of their good works; otherwise, it wouldn’t be a gift of grace but earned by human effort.In light of this, it's important to remember that our transformation is not about outward religious activity but about an inward change that comes from truly knowing God. It is the revelation of His love and truth that renews our minds and guides our actions. As we learn to hear His voice and walk in obedience, our works become a natural overflow of the faith and relationship we have with Him.True love, as demonstrated by Jesus, does not depend on how others treat us but flows from a deep relationship with God. Loving our enemies and forgiving those who wrong us is only possible when we draw from the endless source of grace that comes from abiding in Christ. This supernatural love enables us to extend compassion and mercy, mirroring the forgiveness we have received. Forgiveness is a critical ingredient in walking this life out according to God’s plan. Forgiveness is not an option, it is non-negotiable. We must forgive to release us from the torment of carrying it around in our mind.Luke 11:4 Forgive our sins as we ourselves release forgiveness to those who have wronged us. And rescue us every time we face tribulations.” Do you want God to rescue you when you face tribulations? Forgive. He isn’t going to remove you out of tribulations, but he will comfort you and give you a plan on how to deal with the challenges we face day to day.When we encounter challenges or misunderstandings, responding with love allows us to break cycles of hurt and resentment. Jesus exemplified this by choosing forgiveness over retaliation, even toward those who opposed him. By seeking God's perspective and allowing His love to transform our hearts, we become empowered to love and forgive others genuinely.Forgiveness doesn’t mean that we keep those people close to us, it means that we don’t allow them to live rent free in our minds. Don’t allow unforgiveness to block communication and the blessings of God.

Episode 139: The 3 L's - Light, Life and Love Pt.2
The 3 L’s – Light, Life and LoveNow, let’s go deeper. The I AM Being. God is I AM, and man, His offspring, is also I AM. I AM is the indwelling Lord of life, love, wisdom, and all the ideas eternally in Mind of Christ. The I AM is the name of the spiritual self, as distinguished from the human self. Jesus said to his father, not my will (the human self) but you’re will (spiritual self) be done. Jesus was the incarnate word of God. The spiritual self won out over the human, fleshly self when he said that.Gal 2:29 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So, I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.Our old identity has been put to death. Our new identity (life), Now, we live in union with Christ. My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, dispensing his life into mine!Rev 21:6 And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life.This profound truth highlights that our spiritual identity is intimately connected to God’s own essence. He provides us with everything we need.Phl 4:19But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.No matter what you are going through, Father is there to give you the strength to see it through. I can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. Let’s not live beneath the life God has given us.

Episode 138: The 3L's - Light, Life and Love
The 3 L’s – Light, Life and LoveWhen Jesus said, "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12), He meant that He was the expresser of Truth in all its aspects.Through His words and actions, Jesus revealed the nature of divine reality, illuminating the minds and hearts of those who sought understanding. His presence dispelled the darkness of ignorance and fear, inviting all people to walk in the light of spiritual awareness.Light – The understanding principle in mind. In divine order it always comes first into consciousness. Light is a symbol of wisdom.Inner Light - light, inner--The illumination of Spirit resident in the center of every man's being.It guides us through moments of uncertainty, offering clarity and direction when the path ahead seems unclear. This divine illumination enables us to discern right from wrong and inspires us to live authentically, in alignment with spiritual truth.Light dispels darkness. A study showed that a % of people are afraid of the dark.Just as physical light enables us to see and navigate the world around us, spiritual light equips us to perceive deeper truths and walk confidently on our spiritual path. When we open our hearts to this illumination, our perceptions shift, and we begin to recognize the divine presence in every aspect of life. This transformative light encourages us to seek wisdom, cultivate understanding, and extend love to others.

Episode 137: We Have Become His Poetry
We have become his poetry – a study into Ephesians 2 We are going to break down Eph 2 today. It is a very powerful chapter in the Bible.Eph 2 will show us not only how much we are loved but it will show us some key truths about who God is to us and some things about us.Eph 210 We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it! PassionPoetry - the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm. Something that arouses strong emotions because of its beauty.Just as a poet carefully crafts each line, God has uniquely designed every aspect of our lives with intention and purpose. Our journey is a reflection of His creativity and love, woven together to demonstrate His grace in us. Embracing this truth inspires us to walk boldly into the future He has prepared, knowing we are an essential part of His masterpiece. Eph 2:10For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. NLTThe KJ says that we are his workmanship. This profound understanding invites us to live with gratitude and humility, recognizing that our lives are not defined by our achievements, but by the grace that has been freely given. As we reflect on the artistry of God’s work in us, let us encourage one another to pursue the good works He has prepared, trusting that His love will continue to shape and guide our paths.

Episode 136: The Battle of the Wills - Finding peace in the world where there is no peace
The Battle of the Wills – finding peace in the world where there is no peaceWhy does it seem that there is a battle going on to find peace. Peace is a scarce commodity in the world we are living in today."Our will" most commonly refers to the human faculty of choice, intention, or determination.There is a battle happening in our mind when we are faced with trials and issues that need to be acted upon. The personal will is selfish, thinking only of self until it opens up to the will of God.Jesus said, I am the way. His way is much better than our way, but we tend to think our way is better. We will prove to you that his way is the only way to live.Gal 517 When your self-life craves the things that offend the Holy Spirit you hinder him from living free within you! And the Holy Spirit’s intense cravings hinder your self-life from dominating you! So then, the two incompatible and conflicting forces within you are your self-life of the flesh and the new creation life of the Spirit. 18 But when you yield to the life of the Spirit, you will no longer be living under the law but soaring above it!It’s time to soar church! The higher we go, the less we have to deal with the emotions below.Embracing God’s will is not a one-time event, but a continual practice of aligning our choices with divine purpose, cultivating resilience and hope even in challenging [email protected]

Episode 135: Heart/Mind Coherence - focus on what is important
Heart/mind coherence – focus on what is important in lifeProbably one of the most important things we can say is don’t allow life to get in the way of what God wants to teach you and transform you into. Focus on the eternal, not what’s temporary. Why let worry and stress control our lives? 100 years from now. Phl 4:6Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done.Heart/mind coherence (forming a unified whole) is something very important to focus on. It refers to the harmonious alignment (connection) between what we feel in our hearts and what we think in our minds. When our inner beliefs and emotions are synchronized, we become more receptive to spiritual insight, revelation and transformation. This inner unity enables us to experience God’s presence more fully, allowing His truth to shape both our understanding and our actions.Luke 8:1818 So pay careful attention to your hearts as you listen to my teaching, for to those who have open hearts, even more revelation will be given to them until it overflows. And for those who do not listen with open hearts, what little light they imagine themselves to have will be taken away.”[email protected]

Episode 134: The Radical Revelation Revolution
The Radical Revelation Revolution 9-10-25The revolution is here, and it is radical. This revolution is upsetting the status quo. The traditions of men are coming down. Let God arise and his enemies be scattered. The old way of thinking (stinking thinking) must go to make way for the truth to come forth. God is love and he is making all things new and it begins first with us. There is a drastic shift (revolution) occurring in the church today. A revolution is a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favor of a new system. Jesus brought us a new covenant and he said he fulfilled the old one.A huge revelation I received years back came out of:Gal 111 Beloved ones, let me repeat emphatically that the gospel entrusted to me was not given to me by any man. 12 No one taught me this revelation, for it was given to me directly by the unveiling of Jesus Christ.Paul’s testimony here highlights the importance of receiving spiritual truth directly from God, rather than relying solely on human tradition or interpretation. This invites us to seek personal encounters and revelation, trusting that God desires to communicate His heart to each of us. In doing so, our faith becomes authentic and rooted in relationship, rather than in ritual or doctrine.Revelation – (apokalypsis) it is where we get the Greek word a·poc·a·lypse. The dictionary definition says, the complete final destruction of the world, as described in the biblical book of Revelation. Now the Biblical definition says to be revealed or unveiling, making known that which is hidden, a disclosure of truth, instruction. We can now see where all the misinformation about how God is going to destroy things. The true title of the book of Revelation is the unveiling or the reveling of Christ, in us.A revelation from God transfers us from the seen to the unseen, from the natural to the supernatural, from the temporal to the eternal, from human consciousness to Christ consciousness.People are enslaved by the belief system they are in. So, the lesson here is don’t allow yourself to be bound to a specific belief system. Have an open heart and mind to the leading of Holy Spirit. Have no fear of being rejected because you don’t conform to a certain group and how they believed. Jesus was rejected for bucking the [email protected]

Episode 133: The Great Awakening - Being Awakened into the Truth
The Great Awakening - Awakened into the truthWhat happens when our soul is awakened?Spiritual awakening, signifying a heightened state of self-identity, a deeper understanding of life, and a conscious shift in perception and understanding.The scriptures remind us, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” From 1 Thessalonians 4:6, “So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.”To be sober can mean not drunk, but in this context, it means to be calm and collected in spirit and to be watchful (alert and diligent). 4 Things regarding Salvation—1. Salvation is the restitution of man to his spiritual birthright; It is the return to the original innocence and harmony intended for humanity—a restoration of the inner likeness to the Divine. Through salvation, one is invited to awaken dormant gifts: wisdom, compassion, clarity, and strength, once shadowed by separation but now reclaimed in the light of renewed understanding. This process is not abstract or distant; it is as immediate as the next breath, as tangible as the next act of kindness. It is the transformation of the heart that makes possible a vibrant, awakened life in the here and now.2. regaining conscious possession of his God-given attributes. It comes as the result of redemption; the change from sin to righteousness. Salvation, then, unfolds not as a distant promise but as a present reality, shaping each moment with grace and possibility. It invites us to break free from spiritual lethargy—to move beyond the mere forms and habits that lull the soul into forgetfulness. Every step, every choice, every gesture of compassion is a step deeper into the mystery of salvation—a journey from fragmentation to unity, from sleep to awareness, from separation to divine embrace.3. Salvation comes to man as a free gift from God. This divine gift is received not through striving or merit, but by accepting the grace that is always available—an unearned invitation to return to our true selves. As we embrace salvation’s present reality, we find that awakening is more than a stirring from slumber; it is a call to consciousness that reverberates through every fiber of our being. Each moment becomes a canvas for transformation, as the Spirit gently urges us to open our eyes to the radiance within and around us. In responding to this call, we are empowered to cast off limitations and old patterns, rising into the fullness of life intended for us.4. It embodies a knowledge of God that frees one from all limitations and points the way by which mind and body may be lifted up to the spiritual place of consciousness.This awakening is not an isolated event, but an ongoing process—a daily renewal.To awaken, then, is to recognize the call to step out of mere routine and ritual and enter into a living, breathing relationship with the Yahweh. The awakening is not a moment of fear or judgment, but an invitation toward wholeness—an urging to live actively in the light of love, mercy, and truth

Episode 132: Remembering the Forgotten Reality
Remembering the Forgotten Reality – Is the reality of our true identityWhat is the forgotten reality? We must first deal with the mystery of truth. Truth is truth. Truth has to be truth everywhere. Truths shouldn’t be different from religion to religion or doctrine to doctrine. Reality is the biggest ally of God. When you face reality, you will always meet God. Jesus is the way the truth and the life.The word truth is found 235 times in the Bible. The Truth of God is reality: "the same yesterday and to-day, yea and for ever. Truth abides in fullness at the very core of man's being. We have the discerner of truth living inside.On the Interplay of Truth, Existence, and the DivineTruth is not the shifting sand of opinion, nor the fleeting shadow of doctrine. What is real, abides—unchanged—across cultures, creeds, and ages. In the tapestry of spiritual thought, reality stands as the unwavering testament to divine presence, not as a distant concept but as the nearest companion to God. To ask why reality is the biggest ally of God is to peer into the heart of mystery, where the boundaries between the seen and the unseen dissolve.3Jo 1:4I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.What is the forgotten reality? It is the mystery of truth—unchanging, universal, and consistent across religions and doctrines. Truth must remain constant everywhere, for reality serves as the greatest ally of God. Whenever we encounter reality honestly, we inevitably encounter the presence of God.Truth is, by definition, universal. It does not bend to accommodate the preferences of religion, or the interpretations of doctrine. Where truth reigns, reality is its field—unchanging, steadfast, and impartial. In every tradition seeking the divine, the invitation is not to abandon the world, but to see through it: to recognize the sacred pulse that animates all things. Reality, then, is not a veil, but a window; through it, the essence of God becomes tangible.

Episode 131: A Time of Great Remembering
We are Living in a Time of Great RememberingRemembering is to become aware of (something forgotten) again; bring back to one's consciousness; recall. It also means to put back together again. Like the thief on the cross who asked Jesus to remember him when Jesus comes into his kingdom. Put me back together, which means allow me to remember who I really am.We are living our lives with spiritual amnesia. We are eternal beings. We couldn’t exist in this lower dimension knowing everything we have seen and experienced.Remember – let’s break it down even further.Re prefix - something is returning to a previous state or location.Member - any of the parts of the body (as an arm, wing, or leg) that stick out from the body and are used mostly in moving and grasping. especially a leg or arm of a human being. 2.: a large branch of a tree. Jesus said he is the vine, and we are the branches.Apostle Paul discusses the parts of the body in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. In this passage, he uses the analogy of the human body to illustrate the unity and diversity of the Church, emphasizing that each member, regardless of their perceived importance, has a vital role to play.Psalm 22:27All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD,And all the families of the nations will bow down and worship before You,What are they remembering?Two things. Who God really is and who we truly are. When this happens, we will be joined to him and each other.

Episode 130: Our Thoughts Can Make Us or Break Us
Our Thoughts Can Make Us or Break UsAs a man thinks, so is he.Where do our thoughts come from?Thoughts are woven from the intricate tapestry of our experiences, perceptions, beliefs, and the influences we absorb from the world around us. They arise as the mind interprets inner and outer realities—a ceaseless current shaped by memory, emotion, and the quiet stirrings of conscience. Thoughts refer to the things you are thinking. A shift in your thoughts means you think different things than you thought before.We must ask ourselves what are we focusing on, because our focus shapes our thoughts and our thoughts can make us or break us. A steady diet of watching the news will distort our thinking about people. If we feed on the negative, our thoughts become more negative. Garbage in, garbage out. By engaging consciously with this dynamic, we become architects of our own mental landscape. Each affirmation plants a seed of possibility, while each denial uproots an unhelpful pattern. The mind, endowed with the sovereign authority to choose, gradually learns to discern the quality of its thoughts. This practice, honed over time, transforms fleeting notions into lasting convictions, shaping the very foundation upon which character and destiny rest. Thus, the mastery of thought is not a passive occurrence but a deliberate act—one that calls forth the highest faculties of reason and intuition, guiding us steadily toward greater self-realization and inner [email protected]

Episode 129: Experiencing God's Kingdom
See, Enter and Experience the KingdomThere is a wonderful progression in the Kingdom of God. The problem many face is they stop before the best part. Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:3, that you must be born again to see the kingdom. Being born again only allows us to see the kingdom and if we stop there, we miss out on so much more.John 36 For the natural realm only gives birth to things that are natural, but the spiritual realm gives birth to supernatural life!The Young’s literal Bible uses the words reign of God instead of the kingdom of God.Entering the kingdom or reign of God comes with power and authority. Romans 5 21 And just as sin reigned through death, so also this sin-conquering grace will reign as king through righteousness, imparting eternal life through Jesus, our Lord and Messiah!2Tim 2:12If we endure, we will also reign with Him;If we deny Him, He will also deny us; (read Mirror)If we don’t acknowledge Christ in us, then we are denying him and we can’t enter into his kingdom and we miss out in all that he has for us.But the journey doesn’t end with merely entering; true fulfillment is found in experiencing the richness and reality of the Kingdom. To experience the Kingdom is to step into the dimension where God’s presence becomes tangible, where His righteousness, peace, and joy—described in Romans 14:17—become the atmosphere in which we live. In this place, our relationship with God is no longer abstract or distant; it is infused with daily encounters, ongoing transformation, and the awareness of divine purpose.As we yield ourselves to the reign of God, His authority shapes not just our actions, but also our desires, thoughts, and perspective. The Kingdom is not a static inheritance, but a living invitation—a call to participate with God in His ongoing work, empowered by the Spirit. Each day presents new opportunities to experience the supernatural life Jesus promised, where grace overflows and eternal life is not just a future hope, but a present reality blossoming in us and through us.Let us, therefore, press on—not content with simply seeing or entering, but seeking to experience the fullness of the Kingdom, allowing God’s reign to transform every facet of our beingExperience - "the sum of practical wisdom taught by the events and observations of [email protected]

Episode 128: The Three-Day Plan – God’s promise of the third day
The Three-Day Plan – God’s promise of the third day, A message of hope.Today, we are going to take you through a practical and spiritual example of what a Three-Day Plan looks like. This will hopefully explain and help you through life and spiritual issues as they come up.“Three days” stands out as one of the most recurring and significant time periods, appearing across both the Old and New Testaments. It is a period that often signals suspense, anticipation, transformation, and, ultimately, divine intervention. The use of three days is never arbitrary; rather, it is laden with theological and narrative meaning, guiding readers to see God’s hand at work in moments of waiting, trial, and deliverance.The number three in biblical literature often denotes completeness, wholeness, or something significant coming to fruition. When paired with the concept of “days,” it creates a sense of a defined, purposeful period which leads to an important resolution or revelationWhen we are faced with what seems like insurmountable difficulties, we go through a three day plan, whether we realize it or not. Many say that we are currently living in the third day. What does that mean? Stay tuned and we will see.On the first day we experience many emotions. We may experience darkness, Silence, and waiting.First of all, we are not referring to a 24-hour day. We can be stuck in the first or second day if we don’t approach it correctly, We must never lose the hope that we find within.As we stand at the edge of our struggles, the first response is often one of shock—of darkness, hopelessness and uncertainty settling in. We feel the weight of our burdens, the silence of unanswered prayers, and the ache of waiting with no clear end in sight. Like those who mourned in Jerusalem, we may experience confusion, sorrow, and a sense of finality as dreams seem locked away behind a stone too heavy to move.Yet, within this silence and waiting, something sacred is unfolding. The pause is not merely emptiness; it is a space in which faith is refined, and hope is quietly rekindled. The three-day pattern—of despair giving way to waiting and waiting opening to transformation—reminds us that what feels like an ending may, in fact, be the threshold of newness.The first day can be a 24-hour day or it could go on for some time, depending on the trial or struggle we are going through, we can shorten the time despair and anguish by going within and tapping into the power in us to break the yoke of that which has us thinking negatively. This is when we have to look at the big picture and say to ourselves, this too shall pass.The third day is when life bursts forth from apparent defeat, when hope emerges from despair. This is most clearly seen in the resurrection of Jesus, but echoes of it are heard in every story where God brings his people through darkness into [email protected]

Episode 127: The Illusion of Fear - Religious Fear
The Illusion of Fear… religious fear Whenever the Bible talks about fear, we must understand that many times it is talking about 2 things: being afraid (fear not) and reverence (fear of the Lord). Out of 400 times the word fear is in the Bible, many of those references the awe or reverence of the Lord. Today we are going to talk about maw-gore' in the Hebrew or fob-eh'-o, in the Greek, which means to put to flight by terrifying (to scare away). We are going to focus today on religious fear.Romans 8:15 And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father!” Disclaimer-The definition of religion is a system that describes and explains God. We are not saying religion is a bad thing. It is only when it is distorted and misinterpreted. We are not coming against people or leaders, we are coming against a system that says you must believe in the system with all its beliefs and doctrines, or you are in error and there are severe consequences if you don’t. That is religious fear placed upon the people. It robs folks the ability to go to God spirit to spirit and maybe look at things differently and be able to think for ourselves.Illusion - An illusion is something that isn't real. It may look real, but it's actually fake. Fear is false evidence appearing real. The illusion of fear comes in when we begin to question what we hear and then think we are in trouble with God, because it is not exactly what we have been told. That mindset stunts our growth.Religious fear, then, is not rooted in the divine, but in misunderstanding. It masquerades as reverence, convincing us that trembling is the same as awe—yet at its core, it is insecurity draped in spiritual language. We find ourselves asking: Does God truly desire us to tremble, or to trust? Fear, in this context, is not a healthy caution or respect for the sacred, but a counterfeit that distorts the beauty of faith’s invitation. It thrives on uncertainty and multiplies shame, convincing us that our humanity disqualifies us from grace. Fear isolates; love gathers. Fear divides; love unites. Where fear builds walls, love opens [email protected]

Episode 126: Never Doubt the Work God is doing in You
Never Doubt the Work God is Doing in YouRegardless of what we think, God is constantly working his glorious perfection and power in us to accomplish everything we were sent here to do. God said, I will complete or perfect everything I have begun in you.One of the biggest destroyers of our faith is when we doubt. It can delay or completely derail God’s plans for us.Doubt--"Unsettled state of opinion concerning the reality of the truth of something" (Webster). When we have doubts about spiritual matters, we are unsettled, anxious or without direction. Doubt is the Satan of every man. Satan is the deceiving phase of mind in man that has fixed ideas in opposition to Truth (adversary, liar in wait, accuser, opposer, hater, an enemy). Doubt is the root of weakness, mental and physical.Sometimes our mind and thoughts prove to be our biggest adversary, I am a failure, I am not very good at something. All of our I ams must be uplifting and edifying for our wellbeing.The reality of truth is that God’s kingdom is within, and he is on the job 24/7 to provide us everything we need to live a fulfilled, abundant life. The king is working in us constantly. We just need to wake up to that fact.Eph 3:2020 Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes [email protected]

Episode 125: Misplaced Reality - What is real and what is just a shadow
Misplaced Reality – what is real and what is just a shadowWe will be discussing today what does reality look like and what are just shadows. What we do in our daily life, what we think is important, in some cases, doesn’t really consider reality in its most important form.The things that fill our attention—rituals, customs, outward forms—are often mere shadows, while the true reality is a deeper, eternal substance, unchanging and undiminished by the passing of time.What is reality? Reality--a substance that endures when all illusions dissolve. that which is abiding, eternal, and unchangeable, the same "yesterday and to-day, and for ever" (Heb. 13:8). Reality is not subject to change. Error thoughts produce the mental and physical in harmonies called disease. These effects are not enduring and eternal. Error can be erased from the mind and be made to disappear from the body.A shadow is a dark shape that is formed when an object blocks a source of lightExamples – When you stand outside and the sun is shining; you cast a shadow. The shadow is not the real thing; it’s just a shadow. You are the real thing. All of history leading up to Jesus was the shadow; Jesus is the genuine article, reality.The tabernacle that Moses put up in the wilderness, the temple that Soloman constructed was a shadow pointing to the real temple, [email protected]

The Living Expression of God Made Visible in UsDon’t pray for something you already have, just receive it.If Christ is revealed in us, which is what the Bible says, then a revelation is revealed, layer after layer. That tells me that there is so much more than what we are taught, We can’t ever get to the point where we think there isn’t more. So if our heart isn’t open to new revelation, we are going to miss out on what God has for us.Today we are going to discuss revelation that God has shared with us, that may be revelation to you. Don’t close your mind or heart. Take what anyone says to the Lord, that may be something you have never heard before and he will sort it out with you.John 1:9That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.A new day for mankind came when Jesus came to earth and he enlightens every man, woman and child.

Episode 123: Living the Resurrected Life, NOW Pt. 2
Living the Resurrected Life, NOW, Pt.2Beyond physical resurrection, Christianity emphasizes the idea of spiritual resurrection. This involves the transformation of one’s soul and the renewal of one’s relationship with God. It encourages believers to shed the old self, defined by sin and worldly distractions, and embrace a new existence rooted in grace, purpose, and spiritual growth.Change - The Bible points out how you can establish peace of mind and an inner harmony by tuning in on the Infinite Being within you and thereby bringing about serenity and equilibrium in your life. Everything is constantly changing. The formless is forever taking form and the formed is forever retruning to the formless. If it is very hot you can rest assured it is going to cool off. Everything is changing to the opposite. If it is raining somewhere, it also is going to dry up. You can‟t be sick forever. Everything passes away. St. Theresa said, “Let nothing worry you, let nothing frighten you, let nothing disturb you. Everything passes away but God. God alone is sufficient.”Transformation - change in form, appearance, nature, or character. transfiguration--Supernatural change of appearance that takes place as one experiences the full flow of divine power through his being.transmutation--Change in character, from one phase to another. The lifting up of mind and body, from material aspect to spiritual character.It isn’t just about changing how you see God, it’s about changing how you see yourself.

Episode 122: Living the Resurrected Life Now!
Resurrection Life…living the resurrected life nowI used to believe you had to die to experience resurrection life. Then I realized that there was a spiritual resurrection.Resurrected life is the only life God wants us to live. Any other life is fruitless and empty. We must choose which life we are going to lead. The resurrection life is a much higher and heavenly life than the fleshly, earthly life and we are hopefully going to share what it takes to live a resurrected life.Mark 835 For if you let your (soulish) life go for my sake and for the sake of the gospel, you will continually experience true life (zoe). But if you choose to keep your (soulish) life for yourself, you will forfeit what you try to keep.Paul states numerous times to be of one mind and that is the mind of Christ which leads us to the one and only life. As stated in Mark 8, zoe is the only life, the soulish life is a distraction and a lie. We must make a God exchange. Give up the counterfeit life for the genuine, abundant life.Resurrection life is not a destination but an ongoing spiritual and physical journey. It challenges us to remain open to the unexpected, to find beauty in imperfection, and to see every ending as the prelude to a new beginning.It is an awakening to the life we have always had but were not aware of. This life can also be called the abundant life or the eternal life. [email protected]

Episode 121: Judgement Day....it might not be what you think
Judgement Day…it might not be what you thinkWhen most people hear the words judgement day, they automatically think about a judgement of heaven or hell. That’s not the judgment day that God wants us focusing on. I was once caught up in eschatology, which is the study of end times. I had many books that had the author’s opinion on how this was all going to end. They had their charts and diagrams regarding pre-trib or post-trib and who is the antichrist. I threw all of them in the garbage when I finally realized that no one knows for sure how this all shakes out.Mat 24: 36 “Concerning that day and exact hour, no one knows when it will arrive, not even the angels of heaven —only the Father knows. I have never seen any of these authors refund any money to those of us who bought their books when it was proven they had missed it. We all see in part and anyway, all this energy on end times isn’t helping to make folks’ better people. Our focus must remain on him and him only.To the overcomer, the individual who consciously is in the overcoming process, knows that to him every day is a judgment day.There are two very important decisions we must make and if we do, there will be no fear or concern about anything regarding God’s judgement of us.Every day should be a judgement day for all of us. This is where it all begins. The Bible encourages examining and judging one's own actions and motives, through the eyes of Jesus, particularly in relation to God's word.1Cor 11:31 31 If we have examined (judge) ourselves, we should not be judged.This process of self-reflection requires humility and a sincere desire to align our hearts with God’s will. While we are called to assess our own spiritual journey, it is equally important to remember the spirit in which judgment is approached—one rooted in love, not condemnation. True judgment, as guided by Scripture, seeks to restore, to lift others up, and to walk in the light of grace.To receive free poems or to contact us:[email protected]

Episode 120: From the Candlestick to the Throne
From the Candlestick to the ThroneThis is going to be a very uplifting and encouraging message. We have a bright future ahead of us. We have a throne in our future. We are co-heirs with Christ. We must never forget the promises of God.WE need to first determine where is the candlestick and the throne? Everything we need now and forever is found within. It’s all there. We are to be a candlestick to those in need of light/life and we must be the throne to rule and reign with Christ.The journey through faith often mirrors the sacred transition signified by these symbols. The candlestick, a radiant beacon lighting the path in darkness, represents our spiritual walk illuminated by God’s wisdom and presence. It serves as a profound reminder of the call to reflect purity and divine virtue, embodying the golden light that shines upon a world often shadowed by despair.Zec 4:2He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold (divine), with its bowl [for oil] on the top of it and its seven lamps on it with seven spouts belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it. AmpAccording to Young’s Literal Translation, many versions of this scripture must be corrected.and he saith unto me, 'What art thou seeing?' And I say, 'I have looked, and lo, a candlestick of gold -- all of it, and its bowl is on its top, and its seven lamps are upon it, and twice seven pipes are to the lights that are on its top,The mature sons and daughters of God are the pipes/spouts and guess what, instead of there being 7 pipes, there are 14 pipes.The number 14 speaks of a double portion.God provides the oil and we distribute that oil (anointing) to the church, so the light (life) is shining and is given to all. This revelation invites us to reflect on our roles as vessels of divine purpose. Just as the pipes guide the oil to the lamps, signifying the flow of anointing and blessings, we, as mature sons and daughters of God, are called to carry his light into the world. This double portion of spiritual abundance underscores the magnitude of God's plan—not merely a completion, but an overflow of divine grace. It speaks not only to individual transformation but to the collective empowerment of believers, preparing us for an era of unprecedented spiritual breakthrough.In Revelation 3:21, Jesus' offer to "sit with me on my throne" symbolizes sharing in His victory and reign. It represents a promise of authority, rulership, and participation in Christ's divine kingdom for those who overcome and remain faithful.The throne symbolizes the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ.The throne represents kingdom authority. WE are to rule and reign with [email protected]

Episode 119: Grace-Based Relationship Verses Law Based Relationship
Grace based relationship versus a law-based relationshipA grace-based relationship thrives on unconditional love, forgiveness, and a willingness to embrace imperfections, fostering growth and deeper connection. In contrast, a law-based relationship often revolves around rigid rules, performance expectations, and a focus on earning approval, which can strain the emotional bond over time. The choice between the two shapes the dynamics of trust, freedom, and mutual respect within the relationship.Let’s first talk about a law-based relationship and what that looks like. Remember, it revolves around rigid rules, performance expectations, and a focus on earning approval, which can strain the emotional bond over time. No matter what we do, we can’t earn our way into heaven or earn our way into God’s love. God loves us unconditionally. When Jesus walked the earth 2000 plus years ago, he spent most of his time speaking with the Jewish folk. He spoke to them in the only way they would understand, the law (ridged rules, performance expectations and a focus on earning approval). A perfect example of a grace-based relationship verses a law-based relationship is the women caught in adultery. The law people wanted to stone her, but Jesus who embodied grace and love, told her that they might accuse her, but he didn’t. Another example is the prodigal son. The brother who stayed had a law-based mentality. The son who stayed was incensed at his father for accepting the prodigal back into the family. The father represents our heavenly father. He was all about forgiveness, grace and love. The law says to judge the prodigal, grace says to accept him and love him.When we embrace a grace-based relationship, we step into a realm where acceptance and love are not conditional but are gifts freely given. This shift away from judgment and strict adherence to rules allows for transformation that is rooted in kindness and compassion. Grace creates an environment where mistakes are not met with condemnation but with understanding, making room for growth and reconciliation.In choosing grace, we participate in a divine cycle of healing, restoration, and boundless love.

Episode 118: Activities Versus Relationship
Activity Verses RelationshipFor over 2000 years Christians have been doing a lot of things in the name of Jesus and some maybe most of it had nothing to do with Jesus. Our priorities and activities may need to be re-evaluated from time to time. Most of us have been told somewhere in our journey to eat from the wrong tree (this is good/this is bad) We have been told that it is all about doing instead of being. If I try to be a better person and always do the right thing, God would be pleased. Now there is nothing wrong with trying to be a better person, however it must be in the right order. I got the cart before the horse. A relationship with the Lord must come first, to obtain the proper outcome.Mat 6:33“But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.Seek first his kingdom or his realm, which is within. The spiritual realm is beyond the natural. We are not seeking a natural kingdom out there somewhere; we are seeking a spiritual realm where the father dwells and that realm is inside of us. What is this spiritual realm?It’s a higher realm of consciousness built in accordance with the Christ mind or Christ consciousness. The realm of Spirit is wherever God is working to express Himself. When man becomes the perfect image and likeness of God, no other realm will appear to have been.There is a huge difference between dead works and God works and James is referring to God works. Many times, we are told to do this and that in order to please God. We must discern between what man says and what God says. Sometimes it is the same but sometimes it is not the same. That is where relationship must enter in. If we are in relation with someone, we know that person very well. We know their likes and dislikes. The Bible is a great guide; however it can be misinterpreted. When we know God’s voice there is no chance to misinterpret that beautiful small still voice of the Father.Contact us at [email protected]

Episode 117: Restoration of All Things
Restoration of All ThingsAct 3:21“whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.Restitution--The resurrection of man to the divine image and likeness in mind and body and to the dominion that has been his from the beginning.Restitution means restoration of reconstitution. Something has been lost. What was lost? When was it lost and how shall it be restored? The restoration that the Bible is referring to requires us to go back even farther than Eden. Peter spoke to the crowds in the 3rd chapter in the book of Acts. Here is an interesting thought, If the prophets of old spoke about this great restoration, we must realize that this restoration goes back beyond any of their prophecies, beyond the foundations of the cosmos and beyond the first moment of time. We can’t look at this in a natural, physical realm. So we can’t look at this restoration as something Adam lost, but something God lost. God didn’t misplace and lose his keys. Jesus came to seek and save what was lost. Luke 19:10. Christ came to save not just he who was lost, but the thing that was lost. We are not being restored to Adam, we are being restored to Christ, where we hold out true identity, where there is no beginning and will be no end.

Episode 116: Awareness of Our Oneness Pt. 2
Awareness of Our Oneness – Unity in Christ pt 2We are going to start off the broadcast today with a quote from Richard Rohr,True spirituality is not a search for perfection or control or the door to the next world rather it is a search for divine union now.It is not about building bigger buildings or trying to be a good person, it is about relationship first with God and second with each other. It is about oneness and unity.Why is this topic so controversial? Madam Jean Guyon was place in a French prison for writing a book on union with God. It is nearly impossible to believe with the natural mind that we can be in union with the almighty. This must be received with the Christ mind that has already been given to you. Eyes that can see beyond the natural. Ears that can hear into the spiritual realm. Stop seeking without what you already have within. Seek God in your heart and you will find him. Eph 413 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:14 So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature], tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything [for personal profit].15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.Church leaders’ number one job should be to lead folks to a personal relationship with the Lord. Nothing is more important than that.Contact us at [email protected]

Episode 115: Awareness of Our Oneness
Awareness of Your oneness – Union with GodMany are seeking without what’s already within.One, is the origin of all things and the cause of all things. There is one Spirit; one principle of life, love, intelligence, and goodness in, through, and over all. There is but one Mind (Christ). One presence and one power--God, Spirit, is the only presence in the universe, and is the only power. He is in, through, and around all creation as its life and sustaining power. -God is the one Spirit-Mind in which all ideas of life, love, substance, intelligence, and power originate.union with God--Unification of our consciousness with that of God-Mind. This is the Christ consciousness. "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30).Consciousness, then, is not merely an awareness of our existence but an alignment with the divine essence that permeates all creation. To awaken to this consciousness is to recognize that we are not separate from the Source but eternally connected, sustained, and empowered by it. This divine consciousness, often termed the Christ consciousness, transcends the illusions of self and connects us to the universal truth: that we are one with Spirit, one with God.In this state of divine awareness, the boundaries of individuality dissolve, revealing a harmonious flow where our thoughts, actions, and intentions align with the greater will of God. It is through this union of consciousness that the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, and patience—naturally manifest, enriching not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.The only real unity is in Spirit. It is found nowhere else because personality always strives for its own success and aims for the good of the personal man, instead of the good of all men.Contact us at [email protected]
