Sparrow.Podcast discusses how many believers suffer in their ability to live with prophetic insight and effective prayer because they base their outlook on their circumstances and not the Spirit. If we allow ourselves to become circumstance-based in our faith, our obedience to God's will becomes subject to how good or bad our circumstances are.
Sparrow.Podcast talks Kingdom culture with Savannah Robles. Our world is upside down from God's Kingdom! Let's discover how to restore His Kingdom's culture here on Earth.
We are being forced into a place where it seems like people are taking radical positions on political, social, and even religious matters. We must know that the Church of the Living God must be radical in its obedience to what it biblically means to be a believer. But we must not allow this to not just be for a season, but as our reality.

Imagine if during COVID-19 spreading, everyone decided to run outside and act like a nurse, but without the proper medical equipment and commission? It would have been an utter disaster. So why does it seem that we sometimes think everyone is a front line worker in the Kingdom of God? In the military, front line workers are just land forces, yet there's still a need for air and naval forces. Listen to find out how we are not all front line workers, yet still majorly valuable.

Hay un juicio que tendrá lugar donde toda la humanidad dará cuenta de sus vidas.

Todo ser humano experimentará una resurrección, pero debemos asegurarnos de que somos parte de la correcta.

In the Bible, we read about the gifts of the Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit, the power of the Spirit, but what is the purpose of the Spirit? The Word makes some very clear statements about how the Spirit is God's channel in the believer to defend us, teach us, remind us, and convict us. As we are empowered to do this, we are able to BECOME that channel of the Spirit ourselves to be a blessing unto others.
La imposición de manos es más que solo rezar por los enfermos. La práctica en realidad tiene raíces en el Antiguo Testamento, particularmente en el acto de dar sacrificios y ofrendas a Dios. Aprenda acerca de tres formas principales en que se usó la imposición de manos en todo el Antiguo Testamento y cómo afecta a los creyentes en el Nuevo Testamento.

The ark. Not the one that Indiana Jones popularized, but the biblical ark that represents the very Presence of God. It actually has quite a journey that it took throughout the Old Testament and before we try to figure where it ended up physically, we ought to remember what it means for us spiritually. The ark teaches us some major prayer principles about operating in the power, provision, and principles of God.
La obediencia es el hecho de la fe, pero el amor es la actitud de la fe. Continuando con nuestra serie de Hebreos 6, discutimos la fe hacia Dios.

Two pieces of furniture addressed in this episode! We finally start addressing the articles of the Holy Place, that inner sanctuary. We look at how we ought to frame our approach to supernatural ministry unto God and allow revelation to come into our lives.

Continuing our series on the tabernacle and it's pattern for relationship with God, we discover that there is a cleansing process God has instituted for us in order to effectively minister to Him and His people. We are not called to just be cleansed once in baptism, but to be cleansed everyday. How do we do this? Through the brazen laver that now exists in an object that's closer to you than you think.

Continuing our series on the tabernacle, we discuss the importance of "the altar" in our lives. As our bodies are the inner sanctuary of God's Spirit, we must first approach a spiritual altar in order for the ministry of the Spirit through our bodies to be in its proper place. Our supernatural ministry is misappropriated when we do not have the shedding of blood at an altar. Jesus sets our example at Calvary and we follow through our obedience at an altar.

The tabernacle in the Old Testament was God's divine plan given to Moses for God and Israel to commune together, but His divine plan for communion still continues with the New Testament believer. Now, it's manifested through the ministry of prayer that we can operate in. Much like conversation with others, prayer works effectively when we have a structure that goes with it. In this series, we will dive into the structure of praying through the tabernacle in conjunction with Matthew 6 and Luke 11.

This episode is a major event that follows up the subject of the previous episode, the resurrection of the dead. Every human being will experience a resurrection, but we must make sure we are a part of the right one.

We also look into one element of our daily relationship with God that has EVERYTHING to do with the resurrection we will take part in, in that day.

As an extension of last week's conversation, today's episode focuses on the biblical perspective of embracing weakness and foolishness. Christ, the wisdom and power of God, was weak and foolish according to the world's system. Why do believers think it should be any different? It is in weakness that God's strength is made perfect, but what does that really mean?
