Diving Deep with DL: Recent Episodes
DL Newcombe
By the power of God the Holy Spirit, I have an opportunity to spread the gospel. As a disciple of Jesus, I desire to live out Matthew 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples..." My questions are, "Are you making disciples? Do you know how to make them? Is God's Living Word ALIVE in you? Today many are just floating on the surface, I want to dive DEEPLY into God's Word! Want to know more about God's Word, truths, love, and the plans He has for you? You got your tanks, LET'S DIVE IN!
You have heard, "what you see is what you get." Is that true? Is seeing truly believing? There is a significant difference between physically seeing and hearing and spiritual seeing and hearing. And spiritual seeing and hearing can only happen by one means; GOD! Proverbs 20:12 confirms that God is the grantor of true spirituality and eternal life, and that's is the plain ol' truth!

Take time and look at people for who they really are UNDER the skin. Does what they have make them good people? Does possessions, prestige, paper, and power accurately reveal the truth about anyone?
Aren’t one’s vehicle types, home(s), magnetism, attractiveness, vocation & occupation, capital, fortune, riches, & wealth represent good people with things and are blessed by God?
That could be farthest from the truth! You can rest your eternity on the fact that God will reveal His Truth in His timing as to what fills one's innermost being, that's the plain ol' truth!

You may have heard the saying, “perception is reality…” but is it? How about this one…“what you see is what you get?” Is that really true? Because you may have gotten what you didn’t want, expect, or deserve. You know what’s truly amazing… someone could physically see, yet be blind to the truth of God.

Regardless of what the world says... there's only ONE place to be as a disciple of Jesus, and that's,
IN HIM! Colossians 2:9-10 testifies... "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;"

Questions are a normal part of life, and Jesus proved this point because Jesus asked more than 300 questions to humanity. When Jesus asks questions, His questions always penetrate to the heart of the matter. Jesus asks in Luke 6:46, "Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? How would you answer Him?

ALL means EVERYTHING! And everything according to Merriam-Webster dictionary is... "all that exists; all that relates to the subject; all that is important; all sorts of other things — used to indicate related but unspecified events, facts, or conditions;"
"There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven—" (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
Can you name anything that's not included in EVERYTHING? I pray God gives you understanding regarding His sovereignty in ALL of His creation, and that my fellow disciples is EVERYTHING, EVERYBODY, EVERYWHERE, EVERY TIME!

Genesis proves God is in the beginning. Jesus promises eternal life with God and it has no end. Jesus says in Revelation 22:13, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” Then Jesus must be anamesa also in order for ALL THINGS to make it into eternity! Did you decide the day you were conceived? Can you say for certainty when your last breath will be? You must know... ALL things are through Him and for Him...

There's been controversy about what name you should use when you're talking about Jesus. Well, the plain ol' truth... God has placed you where you are by His sovereign will, and how you learned of Him, that way of saying His name, is the name He must want YOU to use, so use it!
Besides, there appears to be no discussion about His names of-the Son of God, The Son of Man, Lord and Teacher, The Great I AM, The Way, The Truth, and The Life, The Good Shepherd, The Gate, The Bridegroom, The Light of the World, The Vine, the KING of KINGS and LORD of LORD’S, the Word of God, and the Author and Perfecter of your faith.
There's more to God than just His name, you can count on that!

Today will challenge you spiritually, because God will address the difference in being ALIVE spiritually or dead spiritually, and that's God's NGA (No Gray Area). In Revelation 3:1, God says, "... that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.” How can that be?

REPETITION is proof whether you want to admit it or not. Living a life of REPETITION in righteous living is something ALL disciples of Jesus should aspire to live in and for EVERY TODAY God gives you breath! You will either live in the flesh or the Spirit in REPETITION, and it takes the work of God by His supernatural heart and spirit transplant to live in spiritual REPETITION. Do you need one, God is ready to give you yours TODAY!

That word is LOVE! LOVE is the component woven all throughout Jesus’ acts of service. And you must have that same fabric in your essence of service, believe that! Jesus establishes, confirms, and verifies spiritual service of worship is love! And His DOING (work) is accomplished through His love. It’s the true meaning of humanity for humanity, soul for soul, spirit for spirit.

You can choose not to forget, which is totally different than remembering no more. God says in Hebrews 10:17, “And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” NOW, you believe God’s promise is only for those people back there, or for you too? As His WORK to remember no more pertains to yoursins and lawless deeds. Which practice of mind management do you exercise?

Are you purposeful in making yourself a worthy disciple to be used by God to work in His harvest?
You must possess a RENEWED MIND if you are going to make disciples. Listen to what God says in Romans 12:2, "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” God's word and Spirit are to means to achieving a renewed mind...
Are you led, filled, walk, live, and sent by God the Holy Spirit?

Jesus says “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” (Matthew 9:37-38) The pure milk of the word… WORKERS are disciples who DO SOMETHING by working OUT their salvation! Are you are worker?

A reminder… God will hold you accountable, just like He held Adam accountable for His lack of spiritual leadership in Eve’s life, you can count on that. Therefore, you must be diligent to follow the same acts of Jesus that demonstrates “how” you must live as His disciple, and that's living with your wife in an understanding way.

Have you ever considered the term "dwelling" pertaining to your spirituality? What you dwell on confirms what occupies your mind. And what you say and do proves what’s lodged between your ears. God gives a clear message on what you must DWELL on as His disciple, and it's outlined in Philippians 4:8! So, what do you DWELL on?

Think of a piece of fruit, it looks delicious on the outside, yet is rotten to the core on the inside? Today, you’ll hear how God feels about the inside and outside of a creature, and with God there’s No Gray Area either!
Jesus' NGA comes from Luke 6:44, "For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush." Turn around and tell me, what do you see?
Jesus says in Matthew 5:37, "Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.” As a disciple of Jesus, you are called to live by God's Word. What will it take to live this truth of God? Does your signature make you faithful to your commitments? Remember, NGA applies... it's either YES or NO. Because there's No Gray Area with God.
To Him, it's either YES or No!
God has a journey planned for you to bring His gospel to all you encounter! As you encounter them, whether they're known or unknown, you have no idea what God’s purpose and plan will be for you or them, that is, until you walk in it!
When you walk in faith, you’ll see and live out God The Holy Spirit's power and moving you, as Ephesians 2:10 comes ALIVE in YOU!
GET to STEPPIN and be about the WORK of GOD!
The truth, God the Holy Spirit COMPLETES ALL the work of God in and through His creation! The Spirit of God is the POWER! You will need POWER over sin. You cannot fight the relentlessness of sin in your own power! If the truth be known, you are POWERLESS against your own sin, without the POWER of God the Holy Spirit!
STOP counting on your own strength to fight your flesh, because you’re going to need the Spirit of God to provide you with the POWER to live a victorious spiritual and physical life! You will NEED God’s strength, might, POWER, and Spirit to resist the devil and his attacks, the sinful influences from your own sinful nature, and the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
In Luke 13:11, Jesus asks this... "... how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?” Have you asked Him?
Several people have asked me what’s my favorite segment in my book Walking The Way, Discipling Everywhere with a Fresh Set of Eyes, my response, God the Holy Spirit! If you want to read more about the Holy Spirit check it out at https://www.walkingtheway.com/
You have seen and experienced throughout life; things, people, and circumstances are different than they actually appear… You can define LOVE, or create your own version of it, but does THAT really make it LOVE?
GOD IS LOVE… Humanity tries to make it, fake it, and take it…
What will you do, when what you thought was LOVE, really wasn’t LOVE at all, according to God?
For the first time in the Godcast, you will hear from a visitor! Robert Baxter has come to share with you his trials with two bouts of Burkitt lymphoma. Robert's story is compelling, and so much so, his story of trials and grace caused me to MOVE past my fear of needles, and give of my plasma!
BELIEVE me, it has truly blessed my life to freely give my blood as my spiritual service of worship! If you've ever considered donating, and yet to MOVE, I pray today you do, because, there IS LIFE in the BLOOD!
Today you will hear the truth that there's no gray area with God! When you read God's word, have you seen these? TRUTH or lies; HOT or cold; SHEEP or goats; blind or SEE; cripple or WALK; dead or ALIVE; SAVED or lost; captive or FREE; BELIEF or unbelief; mute or SPEAK; old or NEW; GOOD or evil; LIGHT or dark; HEAVEN or hell; GOD or satan; NOW, you tell me where the gray area is with God!
Now, let me ask you, what is it that makes feet so attractive to God, that God puts an adjective describing the feet He loves to see walking on the face of this planet? Do you know what it is? It's Romans 10:15. You want to hear how your feet must be as a disciple of Jesus, because with God there is no gray area; there's either beautiful or ugly feet. Look down, what do you see?
I pray you ask yourself the question, "am I delivered?" I pray this Godcast through the power and work of God the Holy Spirit illuminates the truth and need for the Good Shepherd's deliverance. And, as a sheep of the Good Shepherd's fold, you proclaim the wonder you now live because of God's love for you, and your deliverance from the captivity of the devil.
Jesus’ disciples do warn, just like Jesus warns EVERY MAN of God’s wrath against all ungodly and unrighteous living. You MUST be prepared to teach, as warning and teaching go hand-in-hand! If you’ve yet to DO this labor of love for God, you MUST believe and have confidence, God WILL equip YOU with all wisdom and powerto live out His command to PROCLAIM HIM!
Deception is still going on today. Eve was deceived to believe she would "be like God." Today, the devil's scheme is designed to make you believe, you can be with God! When God the Holy Spirit dwells in His disciples, and God’s truths are on the tablet of their heart, God gives discernment to His disciples to distinguish between "The Truth" of God, and the lies of the devil. The Truth, you’ll either believe God and call satan a liar. Or, you will believe satan, and call God a liar. There's NO GRAY AREA!
If you are the light why aren’t you being The Light? If you are the light, why aren’t you lighting up the darkness that’s around you? If you are the light shouldn’t you be like a city on a hill that cannot be hidden? Are you hidden or are you shining brightly? God has entrusted you with His Light, are you tapping into the power Source so you can BEAM?
When God places His message on your heart, it could be for you, or He is preparing you for deliverance of His message, either way, pray for wisdom, discernment, courage, and understanding. When God desires for the message to be delivered face to face, as a faithful disciple, you immediately respond and do what God desires, because time could be of the essence for either one of you. Remember, God’s word IS in REAL time! And His messages regarding His Word are for His disciples to live out regardless of where YOU are standing on the linear line of time!
We serve a God that is TOTALLY FAITHFUL! He’s the only One, that’s TOTALLY FAITHFUL in every circumstance, every event, and every time, on every day and every year from eternity past and forever! God’s real acts of faithfulness are ALL throughout His word!
Matthew 28:20 is a promise that all of Jesus' disciples believe God is TOTALLY FAITHFUL, and that's "and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Do you BELIEVE God is TOTALLY FAITHFUL?
What happens next, God’s word renews your mind. As you continue to focus on His words, the more visible He becomes to you. Can you see Him, or are you just peering at His words?
And when you see Him, God through His Spirit changes your perspective of Him forever! Now, how would you answer Jesus' question in Luke 6:46? So, I'll ask you, do you love Him?
Do you think you could justify that His eternal word only applied then, and it does not apply to you today? Can it be that you, does apply to YOU regardless of where you stand on the linear line of time? God’s propose for discipleship is to be The Way of life for His disciples, not like a trinket you add to your wardrobe! If discipleship requires work, what’s the work? The WORK is making disciples, are you a disciple maker?
God the Father delivered you from His eternal wrath and He transferred you into the kingdom of God the Son. And at that moment, God the Holy Spirit began His work. You were born again, and your old ways of life were made new. God's work continues from the day of salvation and forever! So, when you baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, that’s why!
When God commands to make disciples of ALL the nations, you don’t get to choose where you draw the line to include or exclude anyone, because God desires for His gospel to go to the ENTIRE PLACE! NO exceptions! God’s command includes all people, from all walks of life, and from all places to hear the Good News about eternal life in His presence, and Jesus wants that for YOU! Are you ready to make disciples?
Do you see your calling and life change as preparation for accomplishing the common purpose of disciple making? Have you been preparing and growing so you can produce them? God commands in Matthew 28:19 to "Go therefore and make disciples..." Are you responding in obedience to God's calling on your life? If not, maybe TODAY is the time for you to MOVE!
Our lives as a disciple of Jesus must represent more than being an acquaintance. God empowers His disciples to sharpen each other. Proverbs 27:17 is a powerful passage to remind us that we have work to do. Are you living out this truth of God? When God assigns you discipling tasks, you are accountable to Him to carry them out! Do you need to be sharpened? I can tell you there's a disciple within your reach.
Just reach out, and see God at work!
Did you know you are CALLED into life as a disciple of Jesus? Today you will hear the significance of God's CALLING on your life! And how God's CALLING brings you out of the domain of darkness and spiritual death, into His marvelous Light and spiritual life!
I pray you are encouraged to continue on this journey of being and making disciples, amen?
Today we are diving into the final two components of The Armor of God, The Helmet of Salvation & The Sword of the Spirit! Spiritual warfare attacks your mind. What will you use to defend yourself? Please know, you could never construct or design anything dependable enough for you to STAND FIRM! To experience VICTORY, you will need an indestructible defense, and a piercing offense!
You got your tanks?
Today in The Armor of God we're diving into the Gospel of Peace & the Shield of Faith. Have you wondered how the enemy's flaming arrows attack you, and what they are designed to do? As a disciple of Jesus, God commands His disciples to take action. The only way for those flaming arrows to miss their mark is to PUT ON The Armor of God. Two essential components in God's armor, His Gospel & Shield!
Spiritual warfare is happening all around you, and it seems like evil and sin is widespread, uncontrolled, and flourishing. Do you have a need to be equipped with "more than information," so you can experience victory over evil and sin? Then if you do, please know, it's the Armor of God that will arm, prepare, and protect you! Come dive in and hear about God's Truth and Righteousness that only can be found in Jesus Christ!
There are times when you let the world interfere with your relationship with God. When you read, study, and meditate on God's word, you need to focus on EVERY word or you could miss VALUABLE connective meanings about God and yourself. God's word is SO RICH, a few words can renew your mind. Dive in and you will see. If you are not reading His word, the enemy is already in your camp!
God commands His disciples to TAKE UP His armor, so you can stand firm in the evil day. You must be girded with God's truth to carry the gospel as His disciple, and do the will of the Father. Many do not know they need it, nor where to get it! Ephesians 6:13-17 tells us what it is, and how it works! DIVE into it, and take it up, you will be grateful you DID!
God's Word is the "Sword of the Spirit!" As disciples of Jesus, we need to be equipped and use God's sword in order to fight against the evil forces in the heavenly places! You need God and His Word in your life DAILY! If you haven't been in it, now is the time to pick it up and make it your daily bread!
Salvation is a gift from God, and He is the One who brings it into the life of His disciples. The best way to describe it is:
Salvation = DELIVERANCE & Deliverance = SAVED!
Life Change comes in God's timing and not your own! And when God moves, YOU move! I was saved over 17 years ago, and God has me on this journey to be the disciple He has created me to be! 2 Corinthians 5:17 is a wonderful passage to confirm the work of God! You may also have Psalm 139:16 moments in your life, do you see them? I pray this episode encourages you to PRESS ON your journey to the narrow gate!
Keep walking the way!
