Don Allen / Two Guys and a Bible
In our series in the book of Acts today we see Philip heading into the city of Samaria where he finds an entire city under the spell of witchcraft. A sorcerer had filled the void with his devilish ideas and signs so that the entire region thought that he was the great power of God. That was until Philip rolled in and preached Christ unto them, suddenly the real power of God was on full display! Evil spirits ran out, bodies healed and everyone born again and even baptized in the Holy ghost! Let's learn from this one today! this is how we do it, let's talk about it!
In our series on the book of Acts, we see Stephen, chosen to wait tables and yet was found to be working mighty miracles! The religious leaders began to attack him but he being filled with the Holy Ghost, gave an amazing answer, BUT, it just was not going to be enough. We have many leaders like this today, who rather protect the establishment than to allow Holy Spirit to do His work. In the end, this man was killed for simply doing what any spirit filled believer should be doing. Could you hang? Let's talk about it.
In our series on the book of Acts, as we come into chapter 6, we see things are going well, the word is spreading, but suddenly troubles arise. A group of widows were being overlooked. The disciples made the decision that it would not be good for them to stop doing what they were doing to take care of these others, so lets find some men who can do it. The Bible gave some awesome qualifications, men of honest report, good reputations and filled with the Spirit. One of these chosen men, Stephen, was reported to be found working great miracles! Lets talk about that.
In our series on the book of Acts, here we are again, persecution! Not from politicians nor the people but the religious leaders. How do we handle ourselves when the religious leaders say, "No", when God said, GO"? In this chapter we are going to discover something that every born again, spirit filled believer needs to understand, that is, the supernatural is just what we do now. It's not some special calling, some anointing, or manmade. Let's talk about it.
In our series on the book of Acts we find ourselves in a bit of a harsh transition. Chapter 3 is ending in an awesome sermon being preached due to that amazing miracle at the gate Beautiful. All of Jerusalem is buzzing because of it, people are being born again be the thousands and then we find ourselves into chapter 4, thinking this is just going to be amazing...NOPE. Here come the religious elite. These men find themselves in trouble for simply doing what God commanded them to do! I hope you are ready for it! lets talk about it.
In our series on the book of Acts, what does it look like to be a Spirit filled believer? We venture into chapter 3 to find a couple of men who have just discovered that answer while working a miracle on a lame man. "Such as I have, I give thee..." What do you have? When we partner with Holy spirit it moves from what I do not have to what I do have that He is working with. Lets talk about it.
In our series on the book of Acts, in chapter 2, we see the promise fulfilled in the introduction of the Holy Spirit of God being poured out onto the people. Jesus said that we would receive power after that and sure enough as they received that promise of Holy Spirit, salvations, miracles, and healings began. What about tongues? Paul has a lot to say about it. Take a listen and see for yourselves.
Lets begin a series on the book of Acts. Today in chapter 1 we are going to see that Jesus references 2 baptisms! The whole "you have all of the holy spirit you'll ever need when born again" flies out the window! Jesus is telling these people, who walked with Him, talked with Him, saw the miracles, heard the sermons firsthand, that in order to go forth in His name, you'll need to do this first. If they needed Holy spirit, I think we might need Him too! Let's talk about it.
What if God asked you to do something that did not make sense? What if He had you do some things that were inconvenient and yet they produced some amazing results for the kingdom? What if, after doing something so amazing, God asked you to leave with no recognition, could you? We are about to see Jesus cast out a legion of devils and all the towns' people, coming and seeing the amazing results, beg Him to leave them alone! Did God have a plan? Lets see.
In our series, Miraculous Matthew 8, we have seen miracle after miracle, healings, deliverances, and today we are now in this transitional stage of the chapter. Here we see some men coming to Jesus and having just seen all these exciting things take place, these men wanted to follow Jesus. BUT Jesus gave them some sober reminders that what they just witnessed was not what its all about! There are many things behind the scenes that people do not see that are just as imposrtant for the mission. Lets talk about it.
In our series on Matthew 8, today we see something introduced that many believers struggle with: The demonic! Jesus cast out the spirits and healed the sick. Could you? here we see that at times, sickness is connected to the demonic. We need to know how to get to the root of an issue so we may see the fruit change. At times, we have to dig a bit deeper if we want to see someone set free from physical issues. Let's talk about it.
In our series on Matthew Chapter 8, we are walking through each encounter with Jesus, as He is about to show these people miracles and healings. Today we find a woman who doesn't have a cancer, she's not possessed of a devil or paralyzed, no, she has a fever. Does this woman's condition warrant intervention from Jesus? Do we allow the smaller things to continue? Does Jesus? Would God heal someone of something non-life threatening? It says that Jesus spoke to this fever! Can a fever hear and if so, what about a cancer? Let's talk about it.
In our series on Matthew Chapter 8, We are walking through each story to try and understand how we too could experience the miraculous in our everyday lives. Today we find a Roman soldier, approaching Jesus with a simple, yet unusual request. he wanted his servant healed, BUT, not by any method we have yet to see Jesus' use. This man offers Jesus a solution, "Speak a word only..." Could you receive a healing miracle by just the spoken word? Let's find out.
In our series Miraculous Matthew, let's take a journey one scripture at a time into this amazing chapter and see if we can discover some biblical answers to sickness, diseases, pains, and the why of it all. Does God still heal? Is it His will always? Does God use sickness? Let's talk about all this and more in this new series.
In today's podcast, let's look into biblical prophecy. Does President Trump play a part in the end times? Is this why all the attempts upon his life? The devil doesn't want Gods plans to come to pass. Are we, the US, playing a political game while our enemies are playing a spiritual one? Let's talk bible prophesy today.
Have you been through hell? I think of the 3 Hebrew boys and that fiery furnace and how it was said that they didn't even have the smell of smoke upon them. God is looking for a people who will not bow, who have no fear of a furnace. Is it possible that the furnace is part of the plan for your life? How about we stop asking God to deliver us from the issues and instead, show Himself strong through them? If these boys had never been in that fire, would the King ever had seen the glory of God? Let's rethink this today...because I know you have gone through hell, but will you come out smelling like heaven?
God is the giver of dreams, but unfortunately, most will never walk in the fulfillment of that dream. We have been sold a few different ideas that for one, if the church leadership didn't get the vision, dream or prophetic insight into it, then it's not worth doing, and secondly, well, who are you anyways? DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! The world is dying for you to fulfill your God given destiny. You can take the man out of the dream, but you cannot take the dream out of the man. Let's talk about it.
What are you waiting for? Another touch from God? Another prophetic word? I know, you are waiting until you get it all together and then you will...The truth is, there is not one thing that is stopping you from going forth into what God has for you to do in this generation, not one! Join me today and let's chip away at all the garbage and get you up and running for the Kingdom.
In our series, the Jesus files, we wanted to present some evidence from the scriptures. Could we find any eyewitness accounts that would back the claim that Jesus died, was buried and rose again? Lets jump in today and see if we can find anyone who may have seen Him, touched Him, or spoke with Him?
In our series, The Jesus files, we wanted to take 3 podcasts, as we lead up to Easter and dive into some of the more famous arguments against the resurrection story. Do we have evidence that these accounts in the Bible, as we know them, are truth? Today we look to the tomb. Did Jesus make it to the tomb? Was He ever there or was this a set up? Lets talk about it.
In our new series, The Jesus files, as we are leading up to Easter, let's take a look into what exactly happened to Jesus, medically. Could anyone survive the brutal actions of the Roman soldiers when it came to crucifixion? Let's check in with the medical experts to find out. And then, lets answer the why. Why go through all of this?
In our series on authority, we have touched on the idea that we are not currently being encouraged to use your God given authority. The same old excuses are presented every time someone dares to try. Are you a pastor, a teacher, some form of church leadership? They look for titles to enforce the why you can or the why you cannot. Jesus dealt with the same thing. What if I told you that walking in authority is simply what all believers should be doing? Lets talk about it.
In our series on authority, today we look into how it is that you are able to operate in it just like Jesus. The overall idea is, having it does no good if we do not use it. You have met all the criteria to be able to step forth as Jesus did, and operate in your God given authority over sickness, demons and diseases. Lets talk about it.
In our series on authority, lets look into how this topic is handled by most church leaders today. Do they encourage you, support you to go forth, help train and pray for you as you go walk in your God given call as a believer, OR do you feel as though they shut you down at every turn? Lets talk about this. We currently have a void due to believers knowing nothing about their authority.
In our new series on authority, Luke 10 quotes Jesus as saying, "Behold I give YOU authority...!" Too many believers today do not believe that they can do anything about IT. IT being sickness, diseases, finances, the devil, civil unrest, etc... Jesus gave us something that I think most do not know about, but we are going to. Lets talk about being authorized to do something about IT.
In our final podcast on Angels, I will share with you an encounter I had with an angel at 18 years old. Also do we have a guardian angel assigned to us? Lets talk about it.
In our series on Angels, lets look at the many examples from the Bible on what all Angels are involved in. As we see these many interventions, lets do so from the standpoint of, if we see it in the Bible, lets have that expectation for our lives today.
In our series on Angels, we have discovered that there are different categories and job descriptions given in reference to angels. Today let's look at a few things. One, they worship God, two, they bring specific instructions at times to the plans that God has for man, and three, they protect us, as the Bible says, "He will give His angels Charge over thee to keep you in all your ways." Let's talk about it.
In our series on Angels, let's look into one of the top 3 mentioned by name in the Bible: Lucifer. You may know him by some other names, Satan, The devil, the deceiver of the brethren, the old dragon. He was once one of the top 3 angels in heaven who, at one time, was described as filled with beauty and appears to have been involved with worship as well. The church and the world have tried to get us to believe that he is powerful, scary, and in some form of a constant wrestling match with God for mankind. Truth is, he is defeated! Let's talk about it.
In our series on Angels, today we meet Gabriel, Gods ambassador from the throne room to earth. We find Gabriel a handful of times in both the old and new testaments, as the one bringing GOOD news from God to certain people upon the earth. He is able to take what God is saying and convey that in such a way that man can understand it. Would we need this type angelic ministry today, seeing that we now have been given Holy Spirit, that spirit of truth who guides us into all truth? Lets talk about that.
In our series, Angels, I wanted us to become aware again of the very real presence and work of angelic beings as we see in the Bible. Today we look into the highest-ranking angel, Michael. What do we know of him and his work, and will we see him again in the last days? Let's talk about it.
In our series on Angels, we set out to determine first off, are they even real, and if so, should we be seeing their influences in our lives today as those in the Bible have? We see the Bible gives us great detail about angels, what they look like, what rank or category they hold, even the names of some of them. I want you aware that we may very well be missing about a 1/3 of the help that God has for us in not recognizing angelic intervention for today.
In our new series, Angels, lets look into the ministry of these supernatural beings. It seems like we don't hear much about them anymore, do we? Why? They are mentioned 108 times in the Old Testament, 165 times in the new! Paul spoke of them, Peter as well as James. We see John mention them 65 times in the book of Revelation. Even Jesus spoke of them. So why not us? Where are they today? Lets talk about it.
"God is in control." Isnt that what people say? Is He? This saying indicates that everything that happens is because of God and everything that did not happen is because of God, thus excusing man from any responsibilities. I call that no fault religion. What if I told you that God is not in control but rather that you are? Lets talk about it. Time to start tossing your weight around.
In our last episode of this series, lets look into the mind of Jesus as it pertains to thankfulness. Was Jesus a thankful person? Lets look into the supernatural power of thanksgiving. There are some very powerful benefits to being a thankful person, lets talk about it.
In our series on the mind, how can we combat the flood of thoughts coming into our minds. We know the devil likes to use thoughts, ideas and suggestions to get us to question God. How do we answer these questions? Allow the Bible to be your brain. Lets talk about it.
In our series on the mind, lets identify some roots so that we may change the fruits. What has taken place in you where you have been sinned against or where you have sinned and it has caused a scar in your mind? We must begin to identify the root issues so we can begin to believe God to heal our minds. Paul talked about this very thing when he said, "Why do I always do the things I do not want to do but cannot seem to do the things I know I should do?" Lets talk about it.
In our series on the mind, lets look into those who are operating out of suspicion, judgment and criticism. We are all subject to this at one point or another, but we need to recognize the seriousness of this issue. Its not simply having an opinion about someone else, but rather a very dangerous place to put yourself in. You are going to open yourselves up for some major troubles and kill any witness you may have had for Jesus.
In our series on the mind, we are going to have to learn to fully trust God. No, not just in the good times, but what of the times when we have to admit that we just have no idea what to do? Thats when we have to cast those cares upon Him for He cares for you. Its not easy, but youll be glad you did. Lets talk about it.
In our series on the Mind, we are learning biblical principles on how to gain control of our thought life. In Matthew 6, Jesus begins a conversation on how to control your thoughts. The overall idea is, Have a bird brain! Lets talk about it.
In our series, The Mind, what of doubt and unbelief? If you are like me, I have always heard these two mentioned together. "So and so has doubt and unbelief." Maybe, but maybe not! These two can work together but are actually two separate things. Doubt can be cured by finding information (Scriptures) but unbelief, leads to disobedience and is more of a relationship issue than informational. Lets talk about it.
In our series, The Mind, its going to be so important to get into your Bible and get the mind of Christ. When we do not have biblical knowledge, we begin to rationalize based off natural experience. In doing that, we will most often, talk ourselves right out of a miracle because we do not have any references to pull from that make any sense. Nothing in the natural would explain a miracle, so we would then say, "Well that doesn't make any sense." Faith doesn't make sense, faith makes moves!
In our series on the mind, we have come to recognize how to take new thoughts captive, but what of the old ones sitting in there from the past? Its these old thoughts that seem to be the issue in peoples lives. We have stacked good, Godly thoughts on top of old garbage thoughts because we never really took out the garbage. Eventually this will lead to stinking thinking. Lets take out the garbage today.
In our series, The Mind, lets look into what to do when things just do not seem to go the way I THOUGHT they should go. What do I do? Its never a natural move, to think the way God thinks, you will have to train your brain to work with, not against the thoughts of God. How do you do it? Lets talk about it.
In our series, The Mind, we have started to see that life issues, troubles, hurts etc...are always going to be there, but its how you think about those issues, thats what is going to cause change in your life. Taking thoughts captive. 6000 thoughts a day, so how many of those thoughts are Bible? We need to begin to think about what we are thinking about. lets talk about it.
In our series, The Mind, we are recognizing that we must begin to take thoughts captive but, for many, we get discouraged when old thoughts continue to reappear. Its OK. It takes time. lets talk about that.
In our series, The Mind, we are looking into what the word of God says about the power of thoughts. We have to admit we have not been doing a very good job on taking thoughts captive, but the good news is, God is faithful, and today, you can start! The Bible says that thoughts produce fruit in our lives. So today we have to, its a must, to begin to change your mind. Lets talk about it.
The Bible is very clear that we are to take thoughts captive, those thoughts that stand against the very knowledge of God. But are we? Gas prices, eggs, interest rates, viruses, attacks from enemies, inflation, tariffs, family, health, oh my God what ever will we do? Satan is using your own thoughts to hire you to build strongholds or prisons in your own mind! Do we have an answer for the times we live in? OR are we just subject to whatever this world tosses our way? How does one renew the mind? Lets talk about it.
In our final podcast in the series, The case for Healing, bottom line, God is a great physician. Lets talk about it.
In our series, The case for healing, we have set out to find proof from the word of God, is healing for today? My question is this, is prayer for today? I ask because the Bible contains prayers, that we are encouraged to pray, that are directly attached to healing of ones body. So, if healing is not for today, then stop praying to be healed! Lets talk about it.
In our series, The case for Healing, we have to determine is Jesus healthy? Have we any proof that Jesus is sick, diseased, in pain, or suffering physically? Is He seated at the right hand of God incapacitated physically in any way? I ask because He is the vine and we are the branches and if we are connected to Him, then what's in Him ought to flow to us. Lets talk about it.
In our series, The case for Healing, what about the Holy communion? IF it is, as some say, not Gods will to heal, etc...then what do we do about communion? The Apostle Paul said that if we would righty decern the Lords body, that second part of communion, the bread element, then people could be healed and not be weak or die prematurely. If we do not believe in healing, then I suppose communion doesnt mean what it once did??? Lets talk about that.
In our series, The case for Healing, we have been told that God/Jesus, do not heal any more. If this is the case, what do we do with the 9 gifts of the spirit in 1 Corinthians which contain the gifts of healings and the working of miracles? Are the gifts gone now and if so, wouldnt that also call into question the other 7 gifts such as prophesy, tongues etc...? are they all gone? Lets talk about it.
In our series, The case for Healing, we know the bible says we are the Body of Christ. So this raises the question, Does Jesus self harm? If we are the body, and Jesus uses sickness, disease, and pain or allows them, as some say, that would mean that Jesus would allow self harm! Lets talk about it.
In our series, The case for Healing, we can find solid proof that my client, God wishes that you would live a good, long life. Well, what is "long"? The bible indicates that you could live to be 120 years old! The idea of that, for most, seems miserable due to the idea that the body begins to fail. BUT what if in this promise of long life, on the back side of that promise, God would need to step in and cause whatever is hurting that body, to be healed and whole so that you could run your race? Lets talk about it.
God has supplied us weapons of warfare for this particular season upon the earth. He is currently equipping new HYBRID soldiers. Are you one? You should be! Listen to this URGENT podcast NOW!
In our series The case for Healing, we are looking for proof, evidences, eye witness accounts that would back the claim, God heals today. What about believing in the eternal promises of God? Not saying do you believe in healing, miracles, etc...but what about His promises? Are they still good today and if so, are there promises of healing in there? Lets talk about it.
In our series, The case for healing, what do we know about shepherds and the relationship they have with their sheep? Would we believe that they cause them harm, allow them to get sick, stay sick, make them sick? Jesus likened sick people to sheep falling into a ditch. He asked, would you get them out or leave them in? Well, would a good shepherd leave you sick or get you out of it? Lets talk about it.
In our series, The case for healing, we have to look at this, is God still a good shepherd? OR is He now a bad one? Seems simple but if we are going to associate sickness and diseases with Gods will for our lives, we then would have to say, God is not a good shepherd. God is now going back on His word in Psalm 23. Is that true? lets talk about it.
In our series, the case for healing, we have to ask, is the book of Acts still relevant for today? When the Bible says that, "You shall receive power after that the Holy ghost comes upon you." Is that power still available today? And if the power is still available, then what do we see as an effect of this power upon people? We see healings, miracles and demons cast out. Lets talk about it.
In our series, the case for healing, we have to ask, if it were not Gods will to heal, then why commission us to lay hands on the sick and see them be made well? Why did Paul say that the laying on of hands is a basic bible doctrine of the church? If it were Gods will for sickness and diseases, why not commission us to lay hands on the well and make them sick? Lets talk about it.
In our series, the case for healing, today we are looking to discover, did my client, Jesus, authorize us to cast out demons and heal the sick? Can we find quotes, eye witness accounts to back this claim? OR did Jesus withdraw His authorization for us to go forth in His name? Lets talk about it.
In our series, The Case for healing, my client, Jesus was quoted as saying many times, "I have come not to do my own will BUT the will of the Father who sent me." Is that the truth? If so, we move from there to ..."And He, Jesus, healed them ALL." still relevant for today? Lets talk about it.
In our series, the case for healing, we are looking to see if my clients, God and Jesus, are guilty as they stand accused of making people sick, using sickness and diseases, killing, taking people in death, etc...do they, are they? Let us look and see if we can find any evidence of this, any eyewitness accounts, any quotes from my clients about this. OR is God a healer?
In our series, The case for healing, lets look today at how mercy and miracles are connected. If one says that they do not believe in miracles or healing today, you would have to also say you do not believe in Gods mercy for today! Lets look into some quotes from my client about how He tied mercy and miracles together. Did mercy die with the last apostle? Is mercy simply no more? Was mercy just for the 1st church? Lets talk about it.
In our series, The case for healing, what is Gods will concerning healing on a daily basis? Is it that healing is possible at times, or its some mystery as to when and why Or could we expect that God wants to heal you daily? Whats the connection between healing and bread? Jesus referenced it many times. Lets talk about it.
In our series, The case for healing, we wanted to make the argument that God is a healing God, a miracle working God. We say it all the time, "God is good, all the time, and all the time, God is good." Well would a good God give a cancer? Would a good God allow you to be sick, diseased? Would a good God let you break your leg for some mysterious reason? God is a good father, so we have to ask, what do good fathers do?
In our series, the case for healing we are looking into proof through the word of God to find if it is Gods will to heal or is it not? We should be able to find Gods will in this subject as we have in every other topic we hold near and dear to the faith. Why can we believe the bible when it speaks of salvation, murder, fornication, gossip, slander, etc but for some reason cannot believe it when it speaks of healing or miracle?
What about the resurrection? If you believe that Jesus did in fact raise from the dead, then you are going to have to believe some of the side effects of that for believers. Healing and miracles are a part of it.
In our series, The case for healing we wanted to see if we could find proofs concerning healing and miracles that would stand up in a court of law. Can we find healing in the old covenant and if so, would that prove that you and I under a new one could have healing today? Lets talk about it.
In our series: The case for healing, we have set out to represent God as a lawyer would represent an accused client. My client stands accused of using, causing, allowing sicknesses, diseases and pains to teach, test, punish people at times. Is that truth? Today we look at the high priest in the Old Testament who was able to stand between the living and the dead as a plague went air borne and that plague stopped. Could our high priest, Jesus, do the same today? Lets talk about it.
In our series, The Case for healing, we are establishing truth from Gods word about healing and miracles for today. As a lawyer representing a client, we wanted to see if our arguments would stand up in a court of law. OR would the accusations win? Does God make people sick or does He heal them? Lets look today at some other eye witness accounts, testimonies, quotes to see if we can make that determination. Have we been redeemed? Lets talk about it.
In our series: The case for healing, we are establishing proof of the truth that my client, God does not, as He stands accused, make people sick, cause sickness, diseases, pains, to teach, test, or punish, but rather He is a healer. Can we find proof today that my client, sent His son, Jesus, to be our Jubilee? To set captives, free, recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are crushed, broken and bruised? Or as some say, did He come to cause sickness, diseases and pains? He only does the will of the father so if we see Him or hear Him doing or saying anything at all, that would be my clients will. lets talk about it.
In our series The case for healing, We are representing God as an accused client. He stands accused of making people sick, causing sickness, diseases, pains to teach, test, punish people. As popular as these issues are, would these accusations stand up in a court of law? Could we find eye-witness accounts, quotes, stories to back up these accusations or would they point to the truth that God is a healer? Lets look back at the cleansing of the leper's ritual in the old covenant. What type of picture does this paint of my client, even 1000s of years ago? lets look.
In our series, The case for healing, we are representing God as an accused clinet in a court of law. Many accuse Him of making people sick, causing sicknesses, diseases, pains, using them to teach, test, or possibly punish at times. Is that the truth? Would any of these accusations hold up in a court of law? What about in the Old Testament where they were instructed to kill the lamb, use the blood on the doorposts and to eat the body of that spotless lamb? Why eat the body? And what took place when the did? Lets talk about it.
In our series, The Case for healing, we have set out to represent my accused client, God. He stands accused of making people sick, diseased, using sickness and physical issues to teach, test, and punish people. As popular as this may seem is it the truth? We need evidence, proof, eye witness accounts. Today my clinet says that He has redeemd you from the curse of the law. What is this curse of the law? And what was the price paid for this redemption? Was it enough? Does it cover sickness, diseases, pains? Lets talk about it.
In our series, The case for healing, we are looking into the accusations against my client, God, that accuse Him of making people sick, causing sickness, diseases, pains, uses sickness, pains, physical issues to teach, test, punish etc...Can we find proof? Today what about a covenant of healing? My client introduced Himself as The Lord God who heals. Thats a quote straight from Him. He also said as a part of the covenant made, that He would take sickness and diseases away and would heal, deliver and set free, so who says He isnt and He doeasnt, when He says He is and He does?!
In our series: The case for healing, we are looking into the accusations against my client, God, who stands accused of using, causing, allowing sickness, diseases, pains to teach, test or punish. Does He? many want to try and relate to Job. Tradition would say Job was a good man who God allowed Satan to attack with boils...is that so, or is there more to the story? Lets look.
In our series, a case for healing, we are going back through eye witness accounts, quotes, written accounts and stories of those who were there during the miracles, healings and deliverances in the Bible. What did they see and hear, what were their experiences? Was it God who was making people sick or was it something/someone else? Lets talk about it.
In our series, A case for Healing, lets look into the arguement that God makes people sick, uses sickness, pains and diseases to teach, test, punish or draw us nearer. Is this the truth? If He does, where would God get these sicknesses and dieases from? Did He make them, is He teaming up with the devil at times to help Him? Can we find where He introduced us to this kind of action? Lets look.
In our series, A case for healing, we are taking the approach as a lawyer with an accused clinet. Many accusations coming against God when it comes to His involvement with sickness, dieases and pain. Does He cause them, use them, approve of them to possibly teach, to test or maybe even punish mankid? OR does He heal them, set people free from them? We need to know. Today, does God have 2 wills? One that we would be sickness, diease and pain free in Heaven, but another for when we live upon this earth? Lets talk about it.
In our series, A case for healing, we are looking for evidences, proofs through eye witness accounts, quotes, stories in the Bible to prove if it is indeed the will of God for mankind to suffer with sickness, diseases, and pains, OR is it Gods will that all be healthy, healed and whole? Many accusations against God concerning this topic, but are they truth? Can we find eveidence in the original creation of man where God made them sick, dieased? Man was made in His image and likeness, so is God sick and dieased? Lets make our case today.
In our series: A case for healing, let us dive into the word and see if we can make a very difinitive case for healing and miracles for today. Can the word of God hold up to the scrutiny? Can you and I make a case that it is the will of God to heal everyone, all the time, of everything? Many are making accusations towards God that it is He who is behind their physical issues for a number of reasons. Are those reasons valid? Lets find out.
In our new series, The case for Healing, lets dive into the word and see if we could find difinitive proof that it is always Gods will to heal. Many say that it is not the will of God to heal, some would say He uses it to teach us, test us, maybe punish us for our sins. Lets approach this like we are going to court. Can we find evidences, proof of Gods will to heal? Would what we find be able to stand up against scutiny? Lets talk about it.
In our series: Freedom, lets look today at opened doorways. Are there things we are doing in our lives that would allow the enemy access into our lives? Lets look at 3 areas today.
In our series, freedom, lets look into how it is that believers can and do allow the enemy "permission" to attck them. Does God, "allow" the devil to attack His people? Lets talk about it.
In our series, Freedom, we are looking into how it is that a believer can be in bondage to the enemy. Today lets discuss how it is that a believer can have some things in common with the devil.

In our series on offense, we are looking into how we, as a people of God, place sins into categories. We all have done this and the reason we do is because we never want to think that my sin is like someone elses sin, especially someone who offended me! What takes place is we often forget how much God has forgiven us, so we do not forgive others. The Bible says that God will NOT forgive you of your sins if you choose not to forgive others! Thats huge, we need to talk about this.
In our series on offense, we are looking into the times that Jesus offended people. Is it ever ok to offend? As believers we should always speak truth and that truth will have opportunities to offend some. On the other hand we also have rights as a believer, but should we always push our rights even though it could offend others, only to please our flesh? Lets talk about the right and wrong times to offend.
In our series: Offense, we have been looking into a truth that kind of stings a bit. Jesus told us that offenses must come. Well, we could think thats just horrible news until you see the other side of the coin. The Bible says that those who suffer and handle offenses correctly, have set themseves up for a blessing! Lets talk about it.
Today, in our series on offenses, lets look into what takes place if we continue to allow offenses to run our lives. If we allow offenses to cause us to run away all the time, that pulling up of roots, so to speak, will have a direct affect on the fruit you look to produce. Lets talk about it.
In our series: Offense, We see that David was sitting under a harsh leader named Saul. How was David to handle this? A leader who wants to kill you! David has a chioce to make, bitter or better? Lets talk about it.
In our series, Offenses, we discovered that there are 2 types of offended people. 1, those who are genuinely offended and have been done wrong. 2, those who think they have been done wrong. Lets look into the story of Joseph today, a man who had every right to be offended and yet he did not do it.
In our new series, Offense, lets dive into what Jesus had to say about this very touchy topic. This is a serious issue today but we have been warned and also given tools that will help us not get trapped in offenses. The enemy is looking to isolate you and get you out from the body of Christ. Lets look at how to avoid this very dangerous issue.
Has God placed a vision in your heart? If so, its time to take the blue prints of that vision and manifest them into something tangable upon the earth.

Did you know that he was just as prodical as the younger? When you live like the older brother, youll have issues with how you see yourself, others and the father. Even though you stayed home, you missed out on the provision and the presence of the father. Lets talk about it.
In our series, Prodical living, we know that boy left home and blew it all, but the real issue is, how do we come back home? Are there steps we can learn from this son, that would allow us to come back home to the Father? 3 things we are going to have to do: Be honest with yourself, with others and with God. thats the key to coming back home to Gods perfect will in your life. Lets talk about it.
ITS A LONG ONE, but well worth the listen today. In our new series, Prodical living, lets look into the truth that all of us, at some point, have prodical living in some areas.

In our series on Grace, today, I need you to understand what took place in your past concering grace. You were saved by it but it is so much more.

Is it sin that causes someone to go to hell? Lets talk about it.
In our new series, Grace, we look into this very misunderstood topic. What can we do to have Gods grace? Is grace a license to sin? Grace is unmerited, undeserved and unearned. Lets talk about it.
What if I told you that today, you have all you need to launch forth and do all you need to do for Christ? If you were like me, I didnt have all the connections, education, backing, etc...that I was being told I needed to have. I want to encourge you today, to look back upon your life and find that one thing you do have and allow God to use it and youll see the miraculous.
Psalms 103:1-5 says that God forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases. This is an absolute. So if God did do this, then how much sickness should we be dealing with? If Jesus said, "It is finished." Then what else is there for Him to finish in the area of sickness and diseases? The power lies in our choises. Are we giving value to something that actully holds no value at all? Lets talk about it.
In our series titled Jesus, we are looking into the life of the man Jesus. Not so much the sermons preached or miracles worked, but what about the character of the man, who was He?

In our series Doorways to Deception, we have been looking into and identifying the ways that the enemy is able to get into our lives and have some form of affect upon it.

Today we are looking at the deception that God has a hand in sickness and diseases in the lives of His children. Much of the church world today believes that God uses sickness and diseases to teach, to test, to punish at times, possibly cause someone to draw closer to Him.

In our series Doorways to Deception we are looking into the ways that the devil can gain access into our lives. He cannot just waltz into your life and do whatever he wants to do.

The bible gives us great hope and with it a warning. Once we see the goodness of God and have begun to walk in the fulfilled promises of financial blessing, the warning is, DO NOT FORGET GOD! It is He who made it all possible. Its easy to start to let your guard down once we see it come to pass. Lets talk about it.
In our series Doorways to Deception, we have been looking at ways the devil, that father of lies is able to trick us into agreeing with him thus opening doors for him to affect our lives. The Bible says, "Neither give place to the devil." He cannot just take place but we can, and do, at times, give him a place. One way we give him a place is through finances. The Bible has a lot to say about wealth. Make no mistake, God wants to bless us financially, but it comes with a warning of temptation. Do not allow money to make the decisions as to if you will or will not do what God said to do. Dont trust in the money but rather the Provider. Lets talk about it.

Today what about the deception that the imagination is not important? New age thinking has hijacked the idea that we are to use our imaginations. The truth is, God created us with the ability to imagine because faith was supposed to invade our thoughts. Taking what we know from the word of God and allowing that place in our minds. To be able to imagine what it would be like to be healed, set free, at peace, and filled with joy. Lets talk about how to see that happen. Because once we can see it in the word, begin to imagine it, start speaking it, and doing it, then it will come to pass in your life.

If the devil is not real, then we have to question if the Bible is really the truth. If the devil is not real, then all of my issues in life are just karma, the universe, other people, myself or God. If the devil is not real, then hell is not real....I think you can see the issue with this deception. Lets talk about it.

Lets look into this topic today and find out how we can walk bold as a lion.
In our series titled NOT GUILTY, we have been looking into a very misunderstood topic: Righteousness. So much of the church world lives under guilt, shame and condemnation. Thats not of God! He did not send His son into the world to condemn and find you guilty. We became righteous with HIS righteousness. Jesus made a way for us to come boldly to the throne of grace that we might obtain mercy, not punishment. What did God say about it all? Lets talk about it.
In our series titled Not Guilty, we are discussing the topic of righteousness. Sin, guilt, shame, condemnation has been used to control people for years. What would happen to the people of God if they found out that they were not guilty, made new, had zero feelings of inferiority, shame or guilt? Im going to bet their prayers would be bold, amazing, powerful prayers. Jesus spoke in ways we dont often hear today, "I shall.." "I will come and heal him..." "Lazarus come forth!" "Arise and be healed..." I rebuke you..." He was bold as a lion and because of that He would say, "Father I know you always hear me and answer me." Thats bold. What about you? You ready to be bold as a lion? Lets talk about it.
The bible says in Proverbs 4 that Gods word is medicine to our flesh. I challenge you to listen to these 101 healing scriptures and think of them like medication. For medications to do you any good, you must take them and most of the time for 30 days. Listen to Gods prescription, take it with faith, and expect to be healed. You cannot overdose on Gods medicine, the more the better. If youll take enough of the word of God, long enough, it will heal your body.
In our series, Not Guilty, we are looking into righteousness. Right standing with Father God. We all know we and others, sin, fall short, disobey God at times, do things we know are not pleasing to the Father and it has been painted that well, you sinned and so you now are going to be on a type of spiritual probation and lets see if you can work your way back into the good graces of God because then and only then could you expect to be healed, blessed, etc...the church uses guilt, shame, condemnation to bend people to do what needs to be done. None of this is Biblical. Your bible says there is therefor NOW NO condemnation....is that right? Lets talk about it.
In our series NOT GUILTY, we are discussing righteousness. Most of the church world has heard scripture on this topic, "We have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus." But have no idea what this really means. Today lets look at this topic as though it were a court room scene. You have the judge, (GOD) you have the accused, (YOU) you have the prosecuting attorney, (THE DEVIL) and you have your court appointed advocate, (JESUS). You stand accused of sin, so how will this play out? Lets talk about it.
In our new series, Not Guilty we are taking a good, hard look into righteousness. Most of us, if being honest, would have to admit that we have spent a good amount of our Christian lives under the feeling of guilt, shame, condemnation. So whats the answer? Works? You need to do more, be in church more, read your Bibles more, pray more, volunteer more, give more! Sure, we all know that we have sinned right? We dont deny that. So whats the price we pay for it? Whats the answer? What if I told you that you are not guilty? Would that change how you live your life and how you approach God? Lets talk about it.
In our series, Passing the test, we have been looking into those tests that all of us will find ourselves in, in order to make it to our destiny. These tests are made to build character because it is character that is the foundation that your destiny will be built upon. Today we see the Purpose test. what is my purpose? How can I recognize it and get to it? Lets talk about it.
In our series, Passing the test, we have been looking into the tests that all of us will be walking through to get to that detiny that God has for our lives. Today's test, The Pardon test. Can you forgive? Can you forgive those who refuse to ask for forgiveness and even continue to walk in sin against you? We have to learn to do 3 things. Release, recevie, and believe. Do we want God forgiving us like we forgive others? Lets talk about it.
In our series, Passing the test, we have been looking into the tests that every man, woman and child must go through to reach the destiny that God has for them. This week we looked into the prosperity test. You want to know where someone is, talk about their money! This test really hits some where it hurts. The word, tithe has really gotten a bad rap. We want to take a very biblical approach in understanding what's our side to this and what's God's side. What takes place when we do give and what takes place when we refuse? This is a big test, let's talk about it.
In our series Passing the test, we are looking into the tests that all of us will go through to be able to get to the destiny that God has laid before us. These tests are designed to build your character because that's the foundation in which destiny will be built. Today's test is the power test. Where does power come from? Who does power come to? Why does power come? Lets talk about it.
In our series, Passing the Test, we are looking into the tests that all believers will go through, to make it to their destiny. Destiny is built on character. God is always looking to build our character through testing. We have been using the life of Joseph to see the patterns that we will all find in our lives as well. Today, what about the prophetic test? God speaks a word into your life through prophesy and then what? We must learn how to submit our word to His word, test my word, and hold onto the word given. Lets talk about it.
In our series, Passing the test, we are looking into the tests that all believers will go through to make it to their destiny. Destiny is built upon charater. God is looking to grow our character through a series of testing that all of us will find ourselves in. We have been looking into the life of Joseph. It begins with the pride test, to the pit, the pit to the palace and the palace to the prison. What do we do when we find ourselves falsy accused and placed into a prison of sorts? Its how we steward our responses and actions that's going to determine how long this prison sentence will last. Lets look at the keys to making it through the prison test. Here we find tests, inside of the tests!
In our series, passing the test, we are looking at how to navigate and grow through these tests so that our character can be built to support our destiny. Character is the foundation of destiny. This part of the test can be a tricky one. We come out of the pit and into the palace, things seem to be working in our favor, and it's easy to let your guard down. Joseph was doing good, running the place, things are looking up, Im out of that pit, Im in the palace, but its here that sexual impurity awaits. We must pass this test because so much is affected when you don't. Lets talk about it.
In our series, Passing the test, we are looking at how to navigate and grow through the tests that all of us will face at some point. We have been looking into Jospeh's life to learn how to navigate these tests. We started with pride, the pit and today the palace test. 4 things involved with this one: The presence of God, (which causes you to prosper) obedience, faith and the word of God. It's God's word that builds faith in us to obey and once we obey the Lord we can get into His presence where we will prosper in all we do. Its in this phase of testing we begin to see that destiny is possible. Lets talk about it.
In our series, Passing the test, we are looking into the tests that come into our lives. God will give to every man and woman a destiny. Once he reveals His destiny for your lives, He will begin to test your character. Character is the foundation of destiny. Last week we looked into the story of Joseph and how God gave him a dream that revealed his destiny, but pride got in the way which led to this week's podcast, The Pit. We all will fall into a pit at some point in our lives but it's what we do there, that will determine where we go. Once in the pit, we need to look at the position, what got me here? Perspective, why and how and what is really going on here? And purpose, God, what can I learn from this. Pass this test and you can get one step closer to destiny.
In our series Passing the test, we are looking into the tests that every believer goes through to be able to make it to their destiny. Anointing wont take you where your character cant keep you. These are tests that will be taken all through our lifetime. We can see these tests when we look into the life of Jospeh. God gave this boy 2 dreams. Joseph bragged about his dreams to his family. God recognized pride in his heart and gave him these dreams so that he could begin to deal with the root of pride. He was feeling small and inferior to his older brothers who hated everything about him, so he began to allow pride to form his speech. How do we pass the test? Lets talk about it.
In our final podcast of the series: The Word of God, we look into how God's word is light. When we have lost something, what do we need? Light. When we need to see the way on our path what do we need? Light. So that we dont stumble, and get caught up on something, what do we need? Light. Lets talk about it.
In our series, The Word of God, we have been looking into the importance of getting back to reading our Bibles again. We have seen that the word of God is likened unto many things to show us the side effects of not having that daily relationship with the Word. We saw it is likened unto food, water, air, love among other things and today, Spiritual sight. How long can one be expected to make it without eating, drinking, breathing or seeing? You will never be able to understand the Bible if you simply look at it with natural sight. Spiritul blindess is robbing us from understadning. Lets talk about it.
In our series The Word of God, we have been looking into the importance of getting back into our Bibles. We can get our daily scripture, watch a short video or even hear a sermon, but nothing is as powerful as getting into the Bible and reading it, while the Holy Spirit guides you into all truth. Today, we are looking at the Bible as a love letter from your Father. How would you ever really know how He loved you, unless you read what He said about you. Man has many opinions but let's see what He says.
In our series, The Word of God, we have been visiting the importance of getting back into the reading of our Bilbes. In today's society it is easy to read one scripture posted on social media, watch a quick 15 second video, or see that one daily Bible app post. We discovered that the Bilbe is likened unto bread or food, water and breath or air. How long could you survive without food, water and air? The body of Christ is starving to death, dehydrated and oxygen depleted! Today I want to show by example why it is so important to really get back into the reading of our Bibles. There are some things you'll never know unless you fully read your Bible in context of the other scriptures.
In our series, The Word of God, we are rediscovering the importance of your personal relationship with the Word. Too many have been distracted from the reading of our Bibles in our own personal time. We have already seen the Bilbe is likened unto bread and water. Today lets look at the breath of God. The biggest argument against the Bible being God's word is it was written by man and it is filled with errors. Lets take a look and see if we can refute these arguments. Would you only eat and drink and breathe once a week? Lets talk about it.
In our new series, The word of God, we are looking into what it is that Jesus said about the importance of the word. Many have sacrificed the reading of their Bibles on the altar of, "Give me a word from Heaven." They want a prophecy, A, "Thus says the Lord." Which in and of themselves are not bad things, but if they are not based on the word of God, we are going to have problems. This new series is expressing the importance of allowing God's word to be a part of our daily lives. The word is likened unto bread and water. How long can one go without eating or drinking? The devil likes to come in like a flood but God raises a standard against him. The standard is the word. Lets talk about it.
In our new series, The word of God, we are looking into how important is reading your Bible? Many today say they want a word from God, but will not crack open the book. They want the prophet of God to give them a word or the preacher to tell them something from God. They refuse to see the importance of hearing God through the Bible. The Bible is likened unto bread. It is our daily bread, meaning it is a daily susuitance, as you feed your body every day, you should feed your spirit man every single day with the word. It is sustaining bread. Again, knowing we are talking about the word of God, we must sustain. Your bodies need constant food to live, so it is in the spirit. 3 it is our true bread. Just as ingredients matter in the natural, so it does in the spirit. What are we putting into that spirit man? Lets talk about the word today.
In part 14 of our series, How to receive healing, we are closing with some final thoughts. DO NOT have faith in the methods but rather in the power of God. Also you must always be led by the Holy Spirit while ministering healing. Do not get caught up in methods that you are most comfortable with but rather allow Holy spirit to guide you into all truth which means, youll need to know your Bible! Lets talk about it today.
In part 13 of our series How to receive healing, we are looking into the Gifts of healings. What is the difference between healing by faith or healing through the gifts in operation? One says, "as the spirit wills." Another is available whenever one dares to believe the word and act upon that which they know. The other issue is, will you be available to move when the gifts are in operation? Lets talk about it.
In part 12 of our series How to receive healing, what about the gifts of helaings? We see these 9 amazing supernatural gifts of the spirit in 1 Corinthians and these manifest it says, as the spirit wills. We know the Bible says that all believers should minister healing, but what's the difference between this gift of helaings and healing by faith? Lets talk about it.
In our series How to receive healing, we are looking into the many ways that we can release Gods power to heal. We know faith plays a big role in receiving and ministertering healing but what about the Gift of faith found in 1 Corinthians 12? What exactly is this gift of faith? And what does this gift do? Lets talk about it.
In our series How to receive healing, we are looking into how to release the power of God. We have been so programmed to believe that I must feel something or see something first, to know that something happened. What if I told you that seeing is not believing but rather believing is seeing? Your senses are an unsafe guide to determine if power is available. You may or MAY NOT feel anything, but can you go back to the ABCs of the word of God and know that feelings do NOT determine if something took place but rather the truth of Gods word has already settled in me what has taken place? Lets tlak about it.
In our series How to receive healing, we are looking into biblical keys to release God's healing power. When we look in the Bible we see a man named among 6 other men who were being chosen to minister to the widows. They needed to have 3 things, be of honest report, filled with the Holy Ghost and wisdom. All 7 of these men met those requirements but of one of them, Stephen, it said that he was a man full of faith and the Holy Ghost. It goes on to report that it was this man who worked mighty miracles and wonders among the people. Lets talk about faith and power today.
In our series how to receive healing, we are looking at "cords" of healing. We know God has the power but to see the power manifest, we have to plug in to that power and one way is through prayer. Prayer is a cord that power can transfer from that finished work where we know the power exists at all times, to this realm where we can see it. Faith is the key with any of these cords or methods. Lets tlak about prayer today.
In this podcast, we join Associate pastor Nathan Gaisford, as he encourages you to get ready because you have all you need for such a time as this.
In our series How to recive healing, we are looking into an unbeatable team found in the Bible. Gods power and your faith. We need to move past the idea that methods alone will get you healed. "Well I tried that and it didnt work." We see a woman with an issue of blood grab ahold of Jesus garment, the same garment eveyone else was touching, but this woman, even though doing the same mehtod, was the only one to walk away with her healing. Jesus said it was her faith. many were trying a thing, wishing and hoping to be healed, but only one woman had faith in the power and power source, not the method alone. We can get caught in that same trap where we see others minstered to by a particular method only to set out to do the same but missing the faith in the source. They walked away healed and you walked away disappointed. Lets talk about it.
In our series How to receive healing, we are looking into part 2 of the laying on of hands. The laying on of hands was given to the church through the great commission of Jesus, that we should go forth and use this method to see peoples bodies healed. The Bible says this sign should follow those who believe. Every born again child of God has within them the ability to go forth and lay hands on the sick. Lets talk about it.
In this week's sermon of the week, we are looking into part 3 of Sons not servants. We saw where the prodical son came to himself, decided to come home, and when he did, the father had 3 gifts waiting for him. These gifts were very significant in the restoration of this son. Its the same gifts that our loving Father God has waiting for you. The father had a robe, a ring and shoes. Today lets look at the significance of the shoes.
In our sereis How to receive healing, We are looking into some foundational truths found in the word of God that explain to us in detail how to get results when minstering and receiving healing and miracles. Today we are looking at the laying on of hands and we have discovered that this is not something those faith people made up or that it is simply a New Testament thing. Today we will see many examples of the laying on of hands for the transfer of Gods power, supernaturally. This is a 2 part podcast, so take a listen today as we see that Gods people can use the laying on of hands to take what God has there and make it available here in this realm.
In our series How to recevie healing we are looking into some foundational truths from the word of God that expalin in simple detail how to get results when it comes to receving and ministering healing. We are looking into the ABCs so that we can get to the LMNOPs. Today lets look at the power of prayer. We see many different prayers in the Bible, but Jesus has some things to say about prayer when it concerns healing. Also what roll does praise have in all this. Lets talk about it.
In this podcast sermon of the week, we pick back up in part 2 of sons not servants. We are looking into the story of the prodical son and how it was when he returned home, His father greeted him with 3 gifts. Last week we looked into the robe and how that represented the robe of righteousness. Today lets look at the ring. The ring represented authority to do business in the father's name. These gifts are gifts that sons receive not servants. These are the gifts that await you when you return home too. Lets talk about it.
In our series, How to receive healing, we are looking into the foundational truths from the word of God, that explain to us in detail, how to minister and receive healing. Many have taken to social media to discover how to do this which in itself isnt always a bad thing BUT what usually takes place is we are watching the LMNOP part of someones minstry and we missed that they had an ABC. So we jump in and see the amazing results they are getting and set out to do the same but dont always seem to get the results they have because we dont see the foundations they have built upon to be where they are today. Today lets look at demanding in the name of Jesus. Lets clear the air as to what exactly we are demanding and from whom. Are we demanding that God do something? Lets talk about it.
God paints us an amazing picture when we look into the story of the prodigal son. We know the story where this son takes all the father gave him and goes out and wasted it all on worldly living. He finally comes to himself and makes a plan to go back to his father. The plan: Ill come back as a servant and try to work myself back into the family somehow. Thats what we do too. When we know we have taken all the Father has given to us and we run off into the world and waste it, trying to live with one foot in the world and we eventually find ourselves unsatisfied and longing for that relationship again. We have been led to believe that if we would just try to come back and sneak in and just serve and sacrifice and work hard enough that God might allow you to come back into the family. What a LIE! Just as this young man discovered, the father wanst going to allow him to come back as a servant because YOU ARE A SON! He gave him 3 things that allowed him to be able to get back into his rightful position as a son. Lets talk about it. Today, the robe.
In our series, How to receive healing, we are looking to do away with the complexities created by traditions. We have made this healing thing way too hard! There are simple truths in the word of God that when applied, can help you to be able to both minister and receive healing. Today lets look into knowing the word verses acting upon it. The Bible has a lot to say when it comes to doing the word. We can read scriptures like, "...by His stripes you were healed." And we can think well if I was, then why am I not? Lets talk about it today.
Have you ever felt like you have been overtaken by lifes issues and troubles? I know it can seem like when it rains it pours. We often find ourselves at the end of our rope wondering, "Where is my miracle?" Maybe we have looked at this all wrong. Could it be that these issues really were opportunities for the miraculous in our lives? I believe we often miss our miracle because we wanted it to take place at the beginning of our issues and not at the end. I say hold on, you may seem overtaken but you have not been forsaken.
In our new series, How to receive healing, we are looking into how to be able to be able to receive healing into your life. On todays episode we discuss that there is a finished work available for you, a heavenly account if you will, that contains your healing and all we have to do is make the withdraw from that account and receive it. Much like a bank account that holds money, you dont actually see the money but you have a statement that says what belongs to you. It takes a belief in what that statement says, but ti doesnt stop and simply believing. You can have a million dollars in the bank but if you never go get it, it will do nothing for you. You must allow your belief to drive you to action. You want to be healed? Believe and act!
Join us today for a special sermon of the week. Join Pastor Don Allen for a tv interview on his book 7 days with a witch held at TCT studios April 13 2017. Part 1.
In our series, The gifts of the Spirit, we have been looking into each individual gift of the Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12. Today we look into the interpretation of tongues. Have you ever wondered why it seems that someone can operate in the gift of tongues and it may go on for a few minutes, only to have someone operating in the gift of interpretation possibly just say a few words or visa versa? Lets talk about that and more.
Are you a Christian? What does that word mean exactly? Is it simply turning over a new leaf or making some habit changes? The word, Christian was to be a word that would identify us with Christ. To claim that one is a Christian is more than moral codes and particular belief systems. You are more than some member of a religion or church affiliation. Christian was to be like Christ! Not a like Christ wanna be. Lets talk about it.
In our series the gifts of the Spirit, we have been looking into each gift talked about in 1 Corinthians 12. Today we are looking into the gift of tongues. This is a very misunderstood gift that many have confused with our personal prayer life in tongues. We have many today who would claim they do not believe in tongues at all. That would put all these gifts into question then! Lets look briefly into what is the gift of tongues and what is the personal prayer language in tongues. Let us not be ignorant about this.
Have you ever felt discomfort in a season of your life? Youve accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, been walking with Him for some time, things seemed to be going good and then a season of discomfort. Many times, as we are experiencing these feelings, we often begin to blame the enemy. But what if it was a divine discomfort? Could it be that God in His wisdom, has created a discomfort for the purpose of driving you out of a stale season and into something new and fresh? Lets talk about it.
In our series, The gifts of the Spirit, we have been looking into each individual gift of the Spirit found in I Corinthians 12. Today we are looking at the gift of prophesy. This has been very misunderstood in that some would believe themselves to walk in the office of a prophet because this gift has been manifest in their life. We have others who have walked in simple prophesy and confuse that with the gift. One is for exhortation, edification and comfort while the other is a foretelling and revelation from God through man. Lets talk about it.
Join us for the sermon of the week, Church@The MHC Sunday September 5th 2021. Have you ever been done wrong? Some one talked against you, slandered you, and hurt you deeply? What are you going to do? You better love like you have never been hurt.
In our series, The gifts of the Spirit, we are looking into each individual gift of the Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12. Today we are looking at The gifts of healings. Here we find the only gift that is plural. This gift is the supernatural manifestation of the spirit of God to deliver/heal the sick and destroy the works of the devil in the human body. This particular gift has often been confused with what all believers have been encouraged to do by faith and through faith. We have to recognize this gift because when in operation, it has the potential to defy what you think you know, thus creating the possibility for fear to come in. Lets talk about it.
Join us for The sermon of the week. Church@The MHC Sunday August 29th 10am. When bombarded by the negative reports of the world, we know it can get very overwhelming. How should we, as believers respond to such reports? Pastor Don Allen explains what our response should be. Our answer should always be: Thats not what I heard! Jesus shows us a response that always produces results, "Devil it is written." Get into the word of God, find the report that you desire, and allow that to be the report that you have heard.
In our series, The gifts of the Spirit, we are looking into each individual gift of the Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12. These gifts that the Apostle Paul said, "I do not want you to be ignorant." We have to admit that most of the church world is indeed ignorant when it comes to these gifts. We often confuse the gifts of the Spirit with the things we all have been encouraged to do by faith and through faith. Today lets look at the working of miracles, that divine intervention in the ordinary course of nature, a temporary suspension of the accustomed order through the Spirit of God.
Sermon of the week. August 15 2021. No regrets. Join Pastor Don Allen as we discuss regrets. Have you ever done something that you knew was not pleasing to God? We all have sinned and fallen short. The real issue is, what will you do when you have? Many of us continue to live in the moment of that past shortcoming, allowing that to become a monument that we have erected. We go back and revisit it, living in that terrible moment of disappointment. Peter had his moment when he denied Jesus 3 times. We know Peter disappears from scripture for a short time only to reappear in the upper room in Acts. Where he was chosen by God to be the one to introduce the Holy Spirit to the world and lead 3000 men to salvation! DO NOT allow moments to become monuments. Have no regrets.
Join us for our new podcast, Sermon of the week brought to you by The NewOldSchool Podcast and Church @ The MHC. Join Pastor Don Allen as we revisit our very 1st Church service recorded on August 1 2021. You are a carrier of the very presence and the power of God. Will you release what you have to this generation?
In our series The gifts of the Spirit, we are looking into each individual gift of the Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12. We must begin to have an understanding about these gifts. Who they operate through, how they come, when they come, whats expected as they manifest. So much confusion when it comes to these gifts. The apostle Paul knew this when he said, "I dont want you ignorant about these gifts." Today we are looking into part 2 of the gift of faith, lets look in the Bible and see the examples of this gift in operation and how it works with other gifts as well.
In our series the Gifts of the Spirit, we are looking into each individual gift of the Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12. We have discovered there has been a great misunderstanding about these gifts and what they do, who can have them, how they function and operate and how we have, at times, mistaken the gifts for many of the things we have all been encouraged to do by faith. The Apostle Paul said he did not want us ignorant concerning these gifts because they are supernatural and are given as the Spirit wills to profit all. Today we are looking at the Gift of faith. We know this one has the potential to be misunderstood as we will see in this podcast because there are actually 4 types of faith mentioned in the Bible. Lets look through these and at this gift and see whats what, so that we can understand and know when the gift is in operation or, is this something that I have been encouraged to do through the hearing and believing and the doing of Gods word. Romans says, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Corinthians said to one is given the gift of faith. Lets talk about it.
In our series, The gifts of the Spirit, we are looking into each of the gifts found in 1 Corinthians 12. The Apostle Paul said that he would not have us be ignorant about these amazing gifts, but we would have to admit, most are! We must have an understanding about each one of these gifts so that when the Spirit manifest these in our presence, we know we can yield to them and allow Him the freedom He desires to see the body profit from these gifts. Today we briefly look into the gift of discerning of spirits. The big misunderstanding concerning this gift in particular has been that its to discern evil spirits only. The bible gives us some great examples of this gift as it is the gift that gives us insight into the spirit realm. To see both good and evil. Lets talk about it.
In our series The gifts of the Spirit, we are looking into each of the gifts found in 1st Corinthians 12. The Apostle Paul expressed his concerns over a lack of knowledge concerning these gifts. He understood the importance and value of allowing these gifts to manifest in our presence. We see many have confused these gifts with some of the things we have been instructed to do by faith and through faith while others simply dont recognize these gifts at all. Today we are continuing in the gift of the word of wisdom, that supernatural revelation by the Spirit of God concerning the divine purpose in the mind and will of God. Lets look at some biblical examples along with a great testimony about this gift.
In our series, The Gifts of the Spirit, we are looking into the 9 gifts of the Spirit found in 1 Corinthians 12. The Apostle Paul expresses his concerns right away when he says, Now concerning spiritual gifts brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant. Most people are indeed ignorant about these gifts. Many assumptions, covered in ignorance has led to overall confusion about these amazing gifts. Many confuse the gifts with acts we are encouraged to work by faith. Others simply do not know anything about these gifts at all. Today we look into the gift of the word of wisdom. The word of wisdom is the supernatural revelation by the Spirit of God concerning the divine purpose in the mind and will of God. Lets talk about it.
In our series The gifts of the Spirit, we are looking into the 9 gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12. The Apostle Paul begins the introduction to these gifts by saying Now concerning spiritual gifts brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant. I believe most the body in general are ignorant concerning these gifts. So we set out to discover an understanding about these gifts because they are manifest to profit the body of Christ. We need these today! Last week we began with the gift of the word of knowledge and today I wanted to give you just a few more examples that I found in the bible so that we could gain a better understanding about this supernatural gift and be able to recognize when Holy Spirit is trying to manifest these.
In our series, The gifts of the Spirit, we are looking into the 9 gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12. The 1st thing we see is that Apostle Paul saying Now concerning spiritual gifts brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant. I would have to say that most of the brethren today are ignorant of these gifts. Most dont know their true purpose, while others have assumed only certain people can operate in them, some have confused the manifestation of these gifts with things the Bible says we can do by faith, while others are not sure they are for today. Lets clear the air about these gifts and start by looking into the gift of the word of knowledge.
In part 17 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. We know these laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. Our final law, law #7, Keep the switch of faith turned on! Once we know we have the power, now keep connected and allow that power to always flow through you.
In part 16 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. We see these laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. We have looked at the "cords" or methods that healing power can be released through. This brings us to Law #6, When the healing power of God is administered to you through any of the biblical methods we mentioned in law#5, you may or MAY NOT feel anything at all! We have been trained to be sense driven to the point that we are led to believe that if I did not feel something, then nothing must had taken place. Is that true when it comes to healing? Lets talk about it.
In part 15 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. These laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. We understand that in order for you and I to release the power thats inside the electrical outlet, we must plug in a cord, and then that cord has the power that once anything is plugged into the cord, it then can receive the power that was previously in the outlet. So it is with healing the sick. We have all of Gods power available and as part of law #5, we must identify the "cords" that we can use to plug into His power so that it is released into the sick, thus causing them to also have that same power. Today we look at the cord of Laying on of hands. This is the method that Jesus used more often than others. The bible says that when a believer lays their hands upon a sick person, that sick person shall recover. Why? Because we are plugged into the power of God and we are now allowing God to use our hands as a power transfer or cord, that will allow that same power to enter into a sick persons body. lets talk about it.
In part 14 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. These laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. We can know we have electrical power available, but it does us no good until we can tap into it and release it for our usage. So it is with healing power. Its one thing to know that God does heal but its a whole other thing to make the connection for you to receive it personally. These methods we have been looking into we are likening to electrical cords that are used to plug into power and be that transport of the power. The cord isnt the power but once plugged in, it carries the same power. Today we look at the cord of The Prayer of Faith. What is the prayer of faith? Is it something we have written down for others to read and repeat? Can we find it in the bible? Lets talk about it.
In part 13 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking at the Laws that govern healing power. These laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. Its one thing to have electrical power available but its a whole other thing to make it usable in your personal life. We have been looking into ways that Gods healing power can be released into your bodies. We have been likening these "methods" to electrical cords that once plugged into the wall outlet containing power, it then can be a carrier of that exact same power inside that wall. Then once something is plugged into the end of the cord, it will release the power through the cord from the wall and into what needed powered. So it is with todays method of Communion. Is there power inside of taking communion that can release the healing power of God into you? Lets talk about it.
In part 12 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. These laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. We have been looking into how do we transfer the power to others. We are likening this to how we transfer electrical power from a power source, like an outlet on the wall, into what we need powered. We know in the natural, we would use a certain type of cord to plug into the outlet and allow the cord to transfer power from the outlet to what we need powered. The cord isnt whats special, but rather its the power. Today we are looking at the "cord" of the Name Of Jesus. Can the name of Jesus be a carrier of power that once spoken, can release healing power into someone? Lets talk about it.
We all know that traditional Christmas story. A child was born but why? Lets take a look into what this event really meant as it produced the gift that keeps on giving and how God gave us that stable influence.
In part 11 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. These laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. We are now looking into how to transfer the healing power of God to others. We know that electricity travels through wiring and into our homes and can be accessed by plugging a cord into a wall outlet. Once a cord is plugged in, the same power that was in the wall is now in the cord, but the cord is simply a transfer, a carrier of power. In the same way we are looking into (cords) or methods to transfer Gods healing power. Today we look into the cord of anointing oil. Can the healing power of God be carried through oil? Lets talk about it.
In part 10 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power, these laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. We are now looking into how do you and I transfer the power to where it needs to go? We recognize that wiring is used to transfer electrical current and that there are many different gauges and types of wiring available. In the same way we see that there are many different cords that we can use to transfer Gods healing power to people. The cord is not the power. The cord is a carrier of the power thats connected and coming from the main power supplier, (God). We have seen that the spoken word is a cord that can carry the power of God as we saw Jesus speaking to wind, waves, a tree, sickness, diseases, demons and a fever, and all those things heard Him and obeyed. How is this possible. Today we look into the science behind the spoken word of God. Can words actually manifest into something real? Lets talk about that.
In part 9 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. Today we are looking at Law#5 There are many ways the healing power of God can be administered to your body. In the same way we know electricity can be available but to release that power from the outlet, we need to plug in a cord. The cord is not the power but rather a way to carry or release the power and then once we know we have the cord filled with the power, then its time to find something to plug into the end of the cord to release the power in the cord. Today we are looking at the cord of The Spoken word. Gods word is not void of power and man is not void of speech, but the word of God can remain powerless unless released by speaking it. There is a miracle in your mouth, lets talk about it.
In part 8 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. Today we are looking into Law#5 There are many ways the healing power of God can be administered to your body. In the same way we know that electricity can be available, but to release that power from the wall outlet we need to plug in a cord. The cord is not the power but simply a way to transfer the power to what ever you would plug into the other end of the cord. We are looking at Acts 19:11-12 How handkerchiefs and aprons were taken from Pauls body and they would heal people. We will also see that healing power was released through the hem of Jesus garment. Material or cloth is a cord that can transfer Gods healing power to people. Lets talk about it.
In part 7 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. Today we are looking into part 2 of law#4.There are two ways the power is made present to heal. Last time we looked at the power being made present through the word of God. Teaching, preaching, speaking the word of God provides power. The second way is through the manifestations of the gifts of the spirit in operation through the believers as found in 1 Corinthians 12. Jesus would teach/preach the word or He would flow with the spirit. Lets look into some stories today and see these great examples that Jesus left to us to be able to see people set free and healed.
In part 6 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we have been looking into the laws that govern healing power. We have been likening these laws to the laws that govern electricity so we can have a better understanding of them. Today we are looking at Law #4 There are 2 ways that the power of God is made present to heal. We looked into one of the two ways today and the number one way the power is made present is through the reading, hearing or teaching/preaching of the word of God. The word is the power. Man can be a cord connected to the power supply but man is not the power. We should be connected to the word of God so that the power may flow through us for those to connect to and be able to receive the power. The disciples went forth everywhere preaching the word of God, and God confirmed the word with signs following.
In Luke it says The power of the Lord was present to heal them. Why? Because Jesus was teaching and it made available the power for all men to be healed. Lets talk about it.
In part 5 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we are discovering the laws that govern healing power. We have been likening these laws to the laws that govern electricity so that we can better gain an understanding of them. Today Law#3 In order to benefit from Gods healing power, you must first believe in the powers presence. Very much the same idea that in order to benefit from electrical power, you would first need to believe that there was power available. So many today say, Healing is no more or that it was for a certain dispensation. Thats like saying electricity is no more. Electricity was for those people back then but we dont need that today.
Lets talk about it.
In part 4 of our series Understanding the healing power of God we are looking into the laws that govern healing power. These laws are very similar to the laws that govern electricity. Law #2 The healing power of God can be present and your senses be totally unaware of its presence. Is that what we do? Well I didnt feel anything, see anything, so I guess nothing took place! I guess the power to heal isnt here. The masses thronging Jesus possibly could had assumed the same thing because after all none of them were being healed and yet one woman came in and took a healing from Jesus. The power was there all along but the people had no outward signs to determine that until after seeing a woman healed. There senses were an unsafe guide to determine if power was available. Lets talk about it.
In part 3 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we look into the laws that govern healing power. Law #1 Just because the power is present does not mean you will automatically be healed. We compared healing power to electricity to gain a better understanding of it. Just because electricity is available does not mean your light bulb will automatically come on. Lets talk about it.
In part 2 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we re-examine our undefeated team, Faith and Gods healing power. This is a team that has gone undefeated against all sickness, diseases and pains. We see this team all throughout Jesus ministry. The issue for most has not been on the side of faith but rather in the understanding of Gods healing power. How do we recognize its availability? How does it come? How do I connect the faith I have to Gods power? Also in this podcast we discuss the roll that sin has in trying to keep us away from the power and how we must allow God to forgive us and cleanse us. We also introduce our 1st healing power law. Once we gain an understanding about this, miracles will abound in your life!
In part 1 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we introduce the team that knows no defeat. There is an undefeated team that has never lost to sickness, diseases or pains. This team was seen all through the miracles of Jesus and the apostles. Unfortunately we have spent most our Christian lives only focusing on one team member, while totally ignoring the second and equally needed other. The team? Your faith and Gods healing power. We have spent years on the faith team member but what do we really know about Gods healing power? When these two come together, miracles happen. Lets learn about this other team member so we can recognize it and be able to see the victory.
In part 22 of our series The Miracles of Jesus we look into the healing of Malchus ear. Soldiers were sent to find Jesus and bring Him to His death. As one of the soldiers approached Jesus, Peter whips out his sword and takes a swipe at him, taking an ear off this mans head! This is a man who hates Jesus, a man who believes that Jesus is a false prophet, and has blasphemed against the church and this Jesus is enemy number one! Jesus, in all the chaos of what was taking place, could had ran into the darkness to try and save His own life, BUT...here is a man with one ear. If Jesus was ever going to show us just one person who it was not Gods will to heal, this man would had been a great candidate. Jesus reached down and healed a man who hated Him. So whats your problem? Lets talk about it.
In part 21 of our series The Miracles of Jesus, we look into the healing of blind Batimaeus. Here is a man who has lost all hope who because of his blindness has been driven to become a beggar. One day he heard that Jesus was coming by. What will this man do to be in position to receive his miracle? Will Jesus see Him and stop? Does this man need to do something to get Jesus attention? What about you? Is there something you can do to initiate your healing? This man needed a miracle but it says he cried out for mercy. Could healing be a mercy and if it is, could you possibly cry out for mercy and receive your miracle? Lets talk about it!
In part 20 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we look into the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Jesus received a report that His friend was sick.Upon hearing this report, Jesus says something very interesting, "This sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God..." He soon received a second report saying, "Lazarus is dead!" What will you do when you receive a report that goes directly against what you were believing for? We must remember the bible asks a very important question, "Whos report will you believe?" It should be of no shock that we will always have a few conflicting reports, but its going to be very important for you to always speak the word of God at the beginning of every issue you have. Jesus said He was glad it happened so that they would believe. Believe what? Lazarus is dead! Believe the report that Jesus had already given in the beginning, "This shall not end in death!" Lazarus is dead! Who says its over? Lets talk about it.
In part 19 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we will look into a mass healing event of the healing of the ten lepers. Here we see Jesus, not teaching or preaching, but simply passing through a town on His way to somewhere else. Ten lepers see Him and they begin to cry out, "...have mercy on us." Interesting request. They needed a miracle but asked for mercy. Could healing be a mercy and if it is, the bible says, "His mercies are new every morning." Would that also mean healing could be made available every morning too? Did these men have to do something to be able to receive their miracle or was this all up to Jesus? What about the one man who came back and gave God glory? Did something special happen for him? Lets talk about it.
In part 18 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we will look into the healing of the woman with a spirit of infirmity. This is a great story of root verses fruit. We see this woman was hunched over for 18 years. Jesus called her to Him and identified the real issue, a spirit. Have we often missed the root issues by simply looking at the fruit issues? This womans issue was not bones, muscles or tendons, but rather a spirit that had affected her body. Lets look today at how to identify the root and change the fruit.
In part 17 of our series, The miracles of Jesus, we see Jesus was invited to a dinner party only to discover that it was a set up to catch Him breaking religious doctrine. A man with dropsy had been placed in the room where Jesus was. Imagine the idea. A group of religious elite, setting Jesus up to break their rules of healing on the sabbath day. They knew one thing for sure, that if there was a sick person in the room with Jesus, He would no doubt heal that man. These are the people who dont even like Jesus. Could we have as much faith as those who didnt even like Jesus, that if there was sickness near, He would heal it? Would God lead you into some situations to get others free? Lets talk about it.
In part 16 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we are looking into the healing of the paralyzed man at the pool. A man who had been paralyzed for 38 years had been placed at a certain pool where an angel came down from time to time and stirred the waters. The 1st one in the pool after the water was stirred would be healed. Jesus approached this man with a simple question, "Will you be made whole?" The man immediately began to tell Jesus all the reasons why he could not be. Jesus commanded the man to arise and he did. Could you at times, or someone you know, be healed without having faith for it? Lets look today at the gifts of the spirit in operation as found in 1 Cor 12 as see what Paul discussed in the manifestation of these gifts.
In Part 15 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we are looking into the deliverance of a mans lunatic son. A man had brought his son to the 12 disciples looking for them to do something for his boy. All 12 were unable to bring deliverance to his son. He brings the boy to Jesus and said, "IF you can do anything..." Jesus responded, "If I can? NO, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes!" Heres our issue: I do believe, BUT help my unbelief! Can you have thoughts of doubt and still be able to receive a healing or a miracle? What if youve already been to 12 other ministries and they were unable to help you? Does that reveal the will of God that maybe its just not Gods will for me? Lets talk about all this and more.
In part 14 of our series, The miracles of Jesus, we are looking into another healing of a man who was blind. This story is a bit unique in its methods used to obtain this mans miracle. Two friends approached Jesus with their blind friend, asking Him to lay his hands upon him so that he may see again. Certainly not an un-biblical request. But is that what Jesus did? No. He took the man out of town and spit on His eyes. Certainly it does us well to know we must be led by Holy Spirit while ministering to people, but the larger issue of this story was, the man did not receive his complete healing instantly! Jesus ministered to this man a second time! Have you ever felt like maybe I cannot go back to be ministered to for the same thing because that means I dont have faith? Does it, or could we be missing something? Lets talk about it.
In part 13 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we are looking at the healing of the deaf, mute man. Two friends grabbed their buddy and said, "We are taking you to Jesus to be healed." They approached Jesus with a request, "Lay hands on our friend that he may hear and speak." Jesus DID NOT do that. He took the man outside of town and spit and touched his tongue! The request made by these men was certainly biblical. Laying on of hands is a basic bible doctrine that we see Jesus using many times to heal people. Could it be that you and I have done the same thing at times? We get locked into a method we are comfortable with which is biblically correct but possibly not correct for the current situation? Lets talk about it.
In part 12 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we are looking at the healing of Jairus daughter. This man sets out to find Jesus and makes a bold request, "Come lay hands on her that she may live." Jesus immediately sets out to do just that. On his way a woman with an issue of blood stops the entire healing parade and its at that time, this man receives a terrible report, "Do not bother the master, your daughter is dead."
What do you do when you receive the bad report in the middle of what you thought was sure to be a miracle? My miracle seemed to be on the way and now its dead. DO NOT DOUBT, only believe! Believe what? Lets talk about it.
In part 11 of our series the Miracles of Jesus, we look into a womans daughter who was vexed with a devil. This devil at the root was causing physical issues in this young daughters body to the point of death. This mother comes in crying, "Son of David have mercy on me." This is the same thing we hear two blind men saying along with many others. Jesus responded to these others who cried out but not to this woman. Why? At first glance it would seem that Jesus was not going to help this woman, and it can even seem like he was a bit rude in comparing her to a dog! Lets look at some adjustments that were made in this womans life to be able to leave with a miracle for her daughter. Could your issue be like this woman, that possibly there are some adjustments to be made in our approach? Lets talk about it.
In part 9 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we are looking into the healing of the boy born blind. The disciples had a very theological question: Who sinned? The boy or his parents? They just knew that sin had to be the reason this boy was blind. Jesus had a different take on the matter! Was sin an issue? Is sin an issue in your story? The other issue is we know when someone is born with a physical issue, we often place that in a category all its own. Its often easier to think something that came along throughout our life time, is easier for God to heal than an issue we were born with. After all, did God have a plan for this in my life? Did God allow this for some higher purpose? Lets talk about it?
In part 8 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we look into the healing of the two blind men. These men needed an obvious miracle for the restoration of their sight but when crying out to Jesus, they said, "...have mercy on us!" Could healing and miracles be a mercy? Lets talk about it.
In part 7 of our series, the Miracles of Jesus, we are looking into the healing of the woman with an issue of blood. Here we have a woman suffering for 12 long years. What do we do when medical science has come to an end of what they have to offer? Is there any hope? What happens when the doctors say, "There is no more we can do for you?" Does that mean there is no more that can be done? This woman came in and took a miracle from Jesus, could you? Jesus said, "Daughter they faith has made thee whole." Could your faith make you whole today? Lets find out.
In part 6 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we are looking into the healing of the Centurions servant. This man had a servant that was sick unto death, but he had heard of Jesus, so he sent for Him believing that if He would come, his servant would be healed. Along the way, the Centurion felt he was unworthy of Jesus coming to his home so he made an unusual request, "Speak the word and my servant shall be healed." Could the word of God be powerful enough that when spoken it could heal someone? Could you and I expect the same if we spoke Gods word? Lets talk about it.
In part 5 of the series, the miracles of Jesus, we are looking into the healing of the man with a withered hand. Jesus was teaching and there was a man listening whos right hand was withered. The Jesus hater club was present too, always waiting to catch Him doing something that went against their religious rules! Well, Jesus didnt disappoint. He called this man out and made an impossible request, "Stretch out your hand." Certainly Jesus knew that was the issue! Dont you think hes tried before? What happens when we reach the end of doing all we can do in the natural? We run into all that God is beginning to do in the supernatural.
In part 4 of the series, The Miracles of Jesus, we are looking into the healing of the Noble mans son. The man came, requesting Jesus to come with him so that his son may live. Jesus did not go. What do we do when it doesnt seem to be going the way we thought it should? This man had a decision to make. Is the miracle lost? Lets talk about it today.
In part 3 of this series, The Miracles of Jesus, lets dive into each individual healing miracle. We want to go deep into the roots of each miracle down to the roots, so that once we see the root, the fruit, can begin to change. What were the roots of many of these sicknesses and diseases? Today lets look at the man brought by 4 crazy friends. Could we learn something from the fab 4, as they removed that roof to lower their friend before Jesus? Maybe we need to identify anything in our way too and remove it so we can come into contact with His amazing power. Lets talk about it
In this series, The Miracles of Jesus, lets dive into each individual healing miracle of Jesus. We are not simply looking on the surface of these miracles. We know the lame walked, the blind saw and the deaf heard, but what about the root issues behind the sickness and diseases? Today lets look at the healing of Peters Mother-in-law. Does the issue need to be terminal or life threatening for Jesus to take issue with it? Can we speak to sickness and diseases and they will respond? Lets talk about it.
In this series, The Miracles Of Jesus, lets dive into each individual healing miracle of Jesus. We are not simply looking on the surface of these miracles. We know the lame walked the blind saw and the deaf heard but what about the root issues behind the sickness and diseases? Often what we find is the physical issue was simply the fruit of a deeper issue in the lives of those who Jesus ministered to. Lets look to the greatest healing minster of all so that we too can get the results He had in getting people free. Today lets look at the healing of the leper and lets answer once and for all, "Is it Gods will to heal?"
Part 8 in the series who in the world are you. Today is the day to own it. Launch forth and go.
In part 7 of the series, Who in the world are you, we discuss what it is the return to the real you. We know all of us at times have fallen away from who we really are. Peter did it in the denial of Jesus, but we see that he returns to that upper room and introduces the entire world to the Holy Spirit and leads 3000 men to Christ! The Prodigal son left his father and blew everything the father had given him only to try and return as something he really was not, a hired servant. The father would have none of it! You are a son! Lets talk about who you really are.
Part 6 of the series, "Who in the world are you?" We look into determinisms that the world says makes up every man, woman and child. Experts say there are 3 things that make up who every human being is, and its these 3 things that no one can escape, its predetermined that you will be a certain way in life because of theses 3 things.
What if we introduced a new determinism, In Christ determinism? Could that over ride any of the natural laws "they" say affect us? Lets look and see.
In part 5 of the series "Who in the world are you", we discover that perspective plays an important role in who we become. Most people will live out of their perspective of reality and not the reality itself. The word of God is to be our reality but when we put on the glasses of fear, it can blur our perspectives, causing us to believe false reports in stead of the truth of the reality of Gods word. Whos report will you believe? We will always have a few to choose from. Let us learn today how to see through the right eyes of faith and walk in the reality of Gods word in our lives.
"Who in the world are you?" How we answer that one question, determines how the rest of your life will go. Finding out who we are in Christ is the revelation needed to be able to answer that question. Sickness, diseases, torments, pain, brokenness will all ask you this question.
What if I told you that the reason you have not seen the glory of God in your issues and circumstances wasnt personal but rather positional? Let me show you today how to have a front row seat to see all the glory of God in your life.
Who in the world are you? Thats one of the biggest questions we could ever be asked. The way you answer that question will be foundation to everything you experience in this life. In order to find out where we are going in this walk with God, we must first find out exactly where we are. The word of God is to be your GPS not only in finding where you are going but also to locate your current position. You will never get where you are going until you can find out where the GPS (Bible) says you are.
"Who in the world are you?" A question of such great importance demands that it be answered correctly. Sickness will ask, pain will ask, trauma will ask, abuse will ask. Most the time the answers we give are based out of perceptions and not truth. Jesus says that He is the vine and we are the branches. In order to discover who we are, we have to see what we are connected with. If Jesus is the vine and we the branches, could it be that we are so one with Him that we have the same life He does? Lets talk about it.
So many of us today are being pressed to answer one very important question. A question of such great magnitude, that the answer given must be correct or it will forever alter the life of the one being asked. The question that sickness, diseases, pain, heartbreak, torments shame and guilt will ask is this: "Who in the world are you?" The only way to know that answer is to dive into who the word of God and see who He says you were created to be. Lets talk about it.
There is an often overlooked power that is available to anyone who would dare tap into it. A power thats so strong, it can heal bodies, bring supernatural provision, bring deliverance, and build faith. The power of giving of thanks. Lets talk about it.
The big elephant in the room when it comes to the baptism in the Holy Ghost is, "What about this tongues thing?" Is it biblical? Is it for today? Can we all do it? isnt it just a gift of the spirit and someone must always interpret it? Will Holy Spirit make me speak in tongues? what benefits are their to doing it? Lets talk about all that.
We need to recognize the importance of Holy Spirit in the life of the believer today. God has amazing gifts for the body of Christ that can only be accessed by and through the ministry of Holy Spirit. Jesus said, "You shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit comes upon you." There are powerful gifts that must be manifest through the believers in this season upon the earth. lets talk about it.
From my book, 7 Days with a Witch, the true story of my encounter with the high witch of the 4 corners, we explore the dangers of unchecked sin and how those sins can lead to an open doorway for the enemy to gain access to your life. We see a few examples of Jesus having an encounter with those under demonic power and we see them asking a reoccurring question, "...what do we have in common?" The devil is always looking to gain access as he is seeking whom he may devour. DO NOT GIVE IT TO HIM!
2 Corinthians tells us that we should not be ignorant about the devils schemes lest he take advantage of us in that ignorance. Unfortunately when it comes to the devil, demons and anything evil, the church over all chooses to ignore that we have a real life enemy. We spend a good amount of time fighting things that are of no consequence while our real enemy advances his agenda. Take a listen as I share some truths from my book, 7 days with a witch, the true story of my encounter with the high witch of the 4 corners.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood BUT we do wrestle! In this series of podcasts, join me as I bring out some truths about spiritual warfare as found in my book 7 Days with a witch, the true story of my encounter with the high witch of the 4 corners and the truth that set her free.
Many view the ministry and the person of Holy Spirit as an option. Who needs Holy Spirit? Let's go back and look in the word and see who needed him before. And then you decide.
Its a must to get to know the person of Holy Spirit. we do not form relationships with forces, its, or feelings, but rather with people. Lets look into the person of Holy Spirit. He has a mind, a will and emotions just like you do and if you will get to know Him on that level as a close, personal friend, you will soon discover some powerful benefits of having Him in your life.
Do you know the person of Holy Spirit? Most think of Holy Spirit as the least of the trinity while equating Him to an "it" or "thing". If you are ever going to form a relationship with Holy Spirit and benefit from that relationship, you must get to know the person. Join me and lets talk about it.
When the prodigal son returned home, his father game him 3 gifts. Many of us have strayed from the Father at times. What awaits those who decide to return? Let's look at what the shoes represent to you and I.
The prodigal son took the amazing inheritance his father gave to him and squandered it on the world. Once he realized what he had done, he devised a plan to work his way back into his father's good graces by becoming a servant. The father would have none of it! You are a son! The father gave his son 3 things to restore him back to his rightful position as a son. Today let's discuss the ring. The ring is a ring of authority. Let's talk about your authority from your father.
When the prodical son returned home the Father gave him three things; a robe, a ring, and shoes. Let's talk about the robe.
What do you do when the battles shows up at your doorstep? Sometimes it can seem like, when it rains, it pours. The children of Israel were just coming out of a spiritual renewal when they were surrounded by three armies with no natural means of escape. Sometimes the hardest battle to fight is to not fight one at all. Let's talk about it.
David was anointed king but was sent back to the pasture. The perfecting doesn't happen in the pulpit or the palace. The perfecting of your weapons happens in the pasture. There is a process to get to your purpose. You'll never kill a Goliath until you kill the lion and the bear first. Let's talk about it.
Civil unrest, political chaos, pandemics and more. All these things stir up feelings inside us. How do we deal with all this? Let's talk about it.
Time for this generation to take their gifts, talents and callings and get under the Apostolic flow. Let's talk about it.
Don't let the enemy diminish the importance of you as an individual. You were born to fight for the heat of the king. Let's talk about it.
Do not allow the mundane to steal the dream that God has given to you. Time for the revolutionaries to arise. Let's talk about it.
God's prophetic promises are invitations not guarantees. You gotta prophecy to the dry bones. Let's talk about it.
