Episode NotesThe discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls reveals that the Qumran Community of the 1st-century had many controversial rules & regulations for Sabbath keeping. What is fascinating is that it is these rules that Jesus referenced when speaking to the Pharisees. Jesus is crowned Lord of the Sabbath, amplifying its importance, calling all to believe in God's rest. Now, after 2000 years of Sabbath divisions, He is calling all to enter that rest as He intended, free from the bondage of men. It's time to rediscover the weightier matters of the Sabbath.

It's important to leave Egypt in haste, but not without waiting in Jerusalem. It's important to cleanse our house from the world, but not without filling it with the Holy Spirit. As we exited Unleavened Bread, we must now look to the Messiah's words to "Wait in Jerusalem", to receive the New Bread from Heaven. Otherwise, we will find ourselves with a clean house, while our evil desires remain, and the world will creep back in through the rest of the year. It's time to break the cycle, it's time for the Promise of the Promised Land.

Martha was very busy serving, after all, the Messiah was visiting! There couldn't be a more important person to serve. But she was troubled about many things, feeling overwhelmed & burned out. Then Jesus called her to the good portion, which would be what empowers her to serve better than ever before.
There are troubling things in this life, but there's a place of peace at the feet of Christ for you.

EVERYTHING hangs on this: If the resurrection happened, Christ spoke the truth, is the Messiah, and every knee will bow to Him. But if the resurrection never happened, He is a liar to be ignored & forgotten. Millions believe He is indeed the First Fruits of the Resurrection, with a promise to raise all from the dead who would believe in Him.
Therefore, it is essential that you weigh the evidence, and truly decide for yourself.

Some of us are tossing & turning at night, thinking back on how things use to be in our relationship with God - the excitement, the passion, the devotion. We've fallen in love with many things along the way, but as we end Passover, God is telling us exactly how to return to that first love!

Many think of the Song of Solomon as a tale between a husband & wife, but it's so much more than that. It contains the prophecy about a Bridegroom's abrupt departure, and a bride being late - missing Him at first. But the Bridegroom is coming again! And as we near the end of Passover, Yeshua is calling His bride to ready herself.

At the Passover table, the disciples did the unthinkable: Right after Yeshua shares with them about His Body & Blood, a dispute arose among them about "Who is the greatest?" In the midst of one of the most important moments with their Messiah, it seems that they missed who truly is the greatest: A silent lamb about to be slaughtered for the world.

It's time to break open a topic that few talk about, yet thousands are struggling with. Believers all over have entered marriages filled with sorrow and confusion due to lacking, or non-existent sexual intimacy. They feel like they've been sold a bag of goods. And at the same time, Satan has swooped in with temptations to draw those marital sexual desires away into cheap sexual lusts outside the marriage. And so the cycle of destruction begins, and at times, even concludes a marriage with great heartache.
A comprehensive teaching on how to break the bondage of lust, and 13 reasons believers are struggling with sexual intimacy in marriage. Get the kids to bed, sit down with your spouse, and consider. If we don't talk about this now, where will it end?

Episode NotesIt doesn't begin with pornography - it begins with loneliness, lack of fulfillment & love, or an 'innocent' social media network. It is as easy and dangerous as ever for our eyes to come across things which seek to lead our feet to death. Our culture has normalized shamefulness, and is seeking to slowly but surely tempt you into the ways of the world. And many believing men & women have found themselves in bondage, unable to resist, unable to escape.

Just as Yeshua is about to ascend, He tells the disciples that whosoever they forgive will be forgiven; and who they do not forgive will not be forgiven.
This overlooked moment is one of the most important in history and is apparent when we look at how the world was about to be changed by the power of Christ's forgiveness through them: Multitudes came to experience the love & power of God through their ministries. But what did it mean exactly for them to forgive the sins of others? And what does it mean for us today?
The answer to this question will take us on a journey from the Fall of the Garden and its devastating effect of sickness, to discovering how & why the disciples could heal the sick.

Our enemy wants to wound us in heart, mind, soul, or strength - to wound our ability to love God and neighbor. We can love Him with our minds, but not our hearts. Or with our hearts, but not our minds. But we can be healed of our wounds and set free from the fear of love.
Remember Minesweeper? In navigating the minefield of our thoughts, we keep stepping on the mines of the enemy. But what if you understood how this game actually worked? It is time to take back your mind, get back your life and overcome overwhelming fear. But it begins with understanding Satan's process of influencing your mind, and how Jesus resisted the devil.

It can sometimes feel absolutely impossible to love enemies, and it is impossible with man. But with God? Possible. We must allow Him to flow through us, despite our flesh wanting our own way. It can 'feel good' to hate, but love casts out fear.
It is time to be planted by the waters of the Holy Spirit, to rely on our Father to heal our trees from death to life.

We've all heard of unfortunate events - church leaders fall into sin, even leading to the downfall of a church. But God wants to restore servant leadership, and structures of accountability among God's people. I would like to call all to pray for laborers in this area. It is true that some do not want accountability, but it is also true that in some areas there is a lack of mature spiritual leadership to be accountable to.

Jesus cursing the fig tree seems like a strange act, yet was done as a call to believers to magnify the power of the cross through walking in the Holy Spirit!
Episode NotesItβs becoming more common to share truth in hate. If we say we love the truth, we must have love for our brother/sister. If we say itβs love to share that truth, we must do so by fruits of the Holy Spirit.
When our love for the truth & His word becomes twisted, and is used as a weapon to attack fellow believers on non-fundamental, minor theological disagreements, we become breakers of the very law we say we love.

Yeshua's treatment of others was controversial in light of the hate-driven culture He was in. Others could not understand how He could be around someone who was in sin, who held opposing theology, or who were arch-enemies of His people.
The rescue of sinners & Samaritans was more important to Him than His reputation in the eyes of religious people.
We are honored to have Daniel Botkin (Gates of Eden) to discuss with PD this timely matter in the Body of Messiah, so we may better understand how Yeshua expects us to fulfill one of the greatest commandments.

Depression, suicidal thoughts, and rejection trauma is overwhelming among believers and the world alike. But Yeshua can help us heal and fight against every lie of the enemy.

More than anything, the tongue exposes the inward parts of our heart, the kingdom we serve, and sin. James asks: "Who can tame it?" But through the power of the Holy Spirit changing our nature, the tongue will follow.
James also warns that the tongues of those with influence will be judged more strictly. The compromise of the Gospel, ticking of ears, and building of own kingdoms among men is of selfish ambition & bitter jealousy - the two symptoms of the corrupted tongue.

Join PD w/ Pastor Chris Franke as they discuss the importance of the Body of Messiah's return to embracing the diversity of God's gifts, offices and roles.
Too often, this is what has been witnessed: To the deliverance minister - everything is a demon. To the healing minister - every disease must go instantly. To the teacher - every issue would be resolved by good scholarship.
Some have thought: "if only we had more teaching on this, we could solve every problem" or "if only prophecy can go forth" "if only speaking in tongues was more accepted" "if only everyone did more evangelism" or "ifβ¦ ifβ¦ ifβ¦"
If we can all come together, learn from one another in honor, and give each other room to practice their gifts, perhaps then we can see: Eph 4:13 "Until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." Instead of callings being that which divide, rather, let them bring us together.
Instead of maturity in one gift, the Body can mature into the stature of Christ.
Recognizing that it's not just about us, nor what God called us to. It's about His greater purposes working together in all His people. Do not let your tunnel-vision cause you to miss God's-vision happening around you.

Many have picked a side when it comes to James vs. Paul, and the relationship of faith & works. We have built denominations on this very idea. It can seem as if their words stand in opposition, but what if both authors are saying the same thing, from different perspectives?
Understanding these perspectives of Paul & James is essential to having a balanced understanding of the role of faith & works in our lives. And is the key to understanding the gospel itself.
Many depend on their works for salvation, and many have abandoned good works entirely. But let us understand our faith to glorify the salvation of Yeshua.

Every war of this world has started because of the spirit of hatred that rules the heart of the world. Men find fault with one another and divide. Men live & die over racism, nationalism, economics, sexism and even denominationalism. The poor remains hungry, women remain dictated, our citizenship remains worldly, or our assembly racially-single.
But according to James 2, partiality is to be put away from believers. God is calling you to breach worldly barriers for Kingdom victories.

In our desire to run away from everything that was evil, we ran away from that which was good. In our desire to honor God by keeping His commandments, we proclaimed the first part of the book at the cost of the second. Because everything the revelation of truth was supposed to change in us, never changed. We're still angry, we're still prideful, and we still minimize the full walk of Yeshua.
God is calling a shift - we must shift, or He will shift without us.

The Bible proves the bible: Watch how Old Testament prophecies (written thousands of years before), are fulfilled in the New Testament. The odds of all of these being fulfilled as a mere coincidence is statistically impossible and serves as evidence of the one true God and the Savior He sent.
Deliverance has become a very polarizing topic, and sometimes for good reason. The fear of demons exists in some circles, and has caused some to feel the need to reply on complicated deliverance prayers without a biblical source.
It's time to talk about the fear of demonic backlash and unbiblical deliverance prayers.
Many believers have symptoms that the church urgently needs to address. We cannot hope that these problems will solve themselves. We all must work together to be there for one another, placing our desires and opinions before God, crucifying our flesh, doing our best to enter the unity of the faith.
Here are 6 serious problems we all need to consider today.
When thinking of praying for the healing of someone else, the most common question is: βWhat if they donβt get healed?β It is a fear that has taken many hearts captive. But what if itβs the wrong question to ask?
God is raising a generation who walks in hope instead of fear.
Watch this discussion from the recent Rise Up Conference where PD & Pastor Tom Campbell of The Vineyard Fellowship have an in-depth stage discussion on casting out demons, different demonic strongholds, our authority as believers, debunking fear of demons, and more - followed by an audience Q&A.
The Bibleβs warnings were right all along: Unforgiveness has great consequence. Dementia is on the rise. But other than eating right & exercising, studies are now linking unforgiveness of 10 years or less to this disease. But there is something you can do.
The Prophet Elijah became a prophetic picture of how God was going to pour out His Spirit upon His people, and what would be required of them. This prophecy reveals the importance of believers understanding their role as vessels of the Holy Spirit.
Witchcraft in plain sight? A scientific experiment was conducted where people were given hallucinogenic drugs and encouraged to engage with demons. Join me as I explore why drugs cause demonic oppression and consider the results of the study from a Biblical perspective.
Studies like these are undiscerning, placing the participants in great spiritual harm.
Guys, itβs time to talk about Spiritual Gift Abuses.
Recently I had the honor of interviewing Eric Aspeitia from Godβs Learning Channel about this important topic and hear his own story.
Years ago, at a conference, Eric was placed in a room and told he could not leave until he spoke in tongues, to ensure he is saved. This abuse of spiritual gifts left him confused about his faith and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. His testimony is shared by many who have had similar experiences, and it's time to talk about it.
Clear abuses in the church have caused many to become wary of Spiritual Gifts of the Holy Spirit - and this is understandable. But what does the Bible teach regarding these things? God desires to heal us from these traumas from our past, but what does this look like?
All of us can fall into a cycle of endless pursuits for satisfaction - in things, in people, in hobbies, and in toxic addictions. Our flesh looks for fulfillment externally, but Yeshua said the kingdom of God is within you.
But what does this mean? Understanding the root of your addiction provides the key to freedom. Join PD as he explores the flesh & Spirit in this teaching!
Some wonder whether Yeshua & Jesus are two different persons - the one being the true Messiah, the other being a lawless imposter.
This panel discussion answers this question sent in by a viewer.

Episode NotesThe Parable of the 10 Virgins is a serious warning to the believers that will see the coming of Christ: That just because they know Him, doesn't mean that He knows them.

And what does the ancient context reveal to uncover the truth behind this parable? Join PD with Tom Campbell as they share an important message for this time.

The Father has really been pricking my heart on the importance of unity for the Body of Christ, especially among leaders to be an example to the flock, and the world.
My prayer for us all is that we are united in Christ, and minor theological disagreements are no hindrance. I am praying he brings us all to a greater maturity in unity so we may learn & grow together, instead of growing further apart. I have many faults myself, but I know my Messiah placed Himself in fellow brothers/sisters who can help me be better.
If Yeshua ascended desiring unity from His disciples, will He not come back expecting that unity on the Earth between believers? Yet, we've seen divisions & strife on levels that grieve our Father's heart. A kingdom divided cannot stand!

Over the past few weeks, what we have been witnessing in the West of all places has been alarming. There has been a rapid increase of persecution and hatred towards minorities who align with the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. But is this the canary in a coalmine?
This must wake us up to the realities of the future, and we must be prepared. A Great Falling Away is prophesied in the Bible. I wish for you to escape it.
We are seeing wars and rumors of wars, nations rising against Israel. But do you know how the story ends? God will bring justice upon His end times enemies who rise against Jerusalem, but with a surprising turn of events, those that remain will come to worship Him.
The only path to peace in the Middle East, is by the Prince of Peace. When King Yeshua returns, there will be unity in worship, even among the heathen, for all will see Him as He is. There will be forgiveness for the repentant of those that remain, and no more shedding of blood.
This is the hope we should all direct our prayers to: Zec 2:11 And many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day and shall be my people.
And I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. Torah Portion: Vayera
Halloween, a day that celebrates darkness. And when demons make themselves known to us in the physical realm, the natural reaction of people is to fear greatly. What does the Bible say regarding how we should see encounters with demons?
"Blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles come in": But if this is according to God's plan, what does this then mean for the Salvation of the Jewish people? This mystery is answered by the prophet Zechariah, and provides us with the lens through which we should look upon our Jewish brothers & sisters who have not yet discovered their Messiah.
Due to the Israel-Gaza War, Christians are talking about Israel more than ever before, and are considering the place of the Jewish people in Biblical Prophecy. But could God be using these events to reveal to Christianity a lost key to understanding their Messiah?
Every believer is called to walk like Jesus, but within Jesus' true identity & walk lies the key for the Saints to persevere in the End of Days. His identity gives us renewed boldness to live transformed and transform the world around us.
But are you ready to consider His true identity, and what it will take to walk as He walked?
The war in Israel sparked big questions: 1. Did the Rothschilds create the modern state of Israel: A move of man instead of a prophetic move of God? 2. Who is living in Israel today: Are the Jews in Israel not real Jews? Some say they are the 'Khazars' instead. Should Christians be supportive of the Jewish people?
Join PD in this in-depth study of the origin & validity of these theories, to get to the truth of the matter.
Episode NotesJoin PD & Christina in this analysis of Scripture to find the identity of Israel, who the land belongs to, who the 'Synagogue of Satan' is and the effects of Replacement Theology on Nazi Germany & the world today. The Israel-Gaza War has exposed rising Antisemitism in the West. Throughout millennia, the Jewish people have been the most persecuted people-group. Today, as they reside in the land, many are calling into question their authenticity as Israel.
Episode NotesWhat is happening in the Middle-East is not just another war of flesh & blood, but between principalities of higher powers fighting over the souls of men. It is the manifestation of the battle in the heavens, the great war of our age. Is this the end of the world? What does it mean for the future? How is Jesus calling His followers to respond? We must be aware of the pitfalls surrounding this issue & pick up our spiritual armor.

The norm for many on The Day of Atonement is to be reminded of the Judgment of God. This year, I'd like for us to receive the revelation of grace The New Temple of Atonement promises us. Understanding the judgment of God is important, but without understanding His grace, we will live self-condemned instead of victorious.
It is time for God's people to see the power His atonement holds over our sin, to see our freedom realized!
It is expected that the world will have no regard for the return of Jesus, however, many believers are just as unprepared. Just like many religious men in the 1st century who took God for granted - we can make this world our home, forget our own depravity, and lose our fear of God.

How often do we "go through the motions" to ensure our outer appearance looks clean, while inside, we're struggling with secret sins, pains, temptations, and habits that keep us from God's presence?
It's time to clean house, both in our own lives, in our families, and in our fellowships. It can come by no other way but rekindling our understanding of the Gospel, restoring its power back into our lives.
Archeologists found a βcurse tabletβ on Mt. Ebal, this is the mountain whereon God placed the curses of breaking His law in Deut 28. Not only that, but this tablet bears the oldest found inscription of His name, a reminder of: Deu 28:58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful Name.
In the garden, there was a tithe. While God gave mankind an entire garden to enjoy, one tree was to be set aside. But when greed came in, nothing could restrain man from devouring its fruit. This gave authority to the snake to devour man's inheritance, removing the blessing of God.
God wants to bless us, but we must obey a specific instruction to keep the devourer out. The struggles in our garden can be healed, but it means setting aside God's sacred portion. Join PD in this teaching on how to resist the devourer & and restore blessing to your house.

We have released a comprehensive overview of the AI breakthroughs we are seeing everywhere, more specifically in what that will introduce into the religious world. There is a large possibility that the greatest danger of AI is not what the world fears - loss of jobs, military implementations, etc. These are real issues, but a supreme AI may be able to seduce mankind into worship, and even play a very real role in Biblical end-time events.
We are already seeing previous 'nonreligious' people such as atheists suggest they would follow a religion if a 'perfect' AI god wrote a new 'perfect Bible' worth following. And this is only the beginning. Let's begin the conversation about this and more in 'The Rise of the AI gods'
In this video, Christina speaks with the youth at Camp Yeshua about the 4 deadly lies Satan wants us to believe, and what Godβs Word has to say about our identity, calling, and worth.
A common, yet controversial, phrase has been going around: "Jesus is the law of Moses." Even found in a recent scene from 'The Chosen' - is Yeshua the literal law of Moses?
And what does that mean exactly?
Do you wish to walk as Yeshua walked in the Holy Spirit? He has left you an inheritance, and is calling you to take a step on the water - to believe that He can do the impossible through you. Discover your gift, grow in it responsibly, and through you God will bring the dead to life!
Start here - This is the spiritual gift crash-course.
Among the wickedness in this generation, a youth is crying out - looking for a reason to embrace the radical walk of Yeshua. But as this discussion revealed, it cannot be done without an encounter with the Holy Spirit. Join PD as he interviews a group of youth who earlier this year encountered God; and is now traveling the USA proclaiming His name.
We must discover how this can be multiplied everywhere!
Many donβt realize that the Genesis fall of mankind was not only disobedience, but the embracement of a counterfeit identity. Satan tempted mankind to become βlike godsβ - usurping the authority of their Heavenly Father for the sake of a false happiness and fallen identity. Today, many continue to not know who they are - in calling, in kingdom, in sin and in bodily gender
But when we discover the identity of Christ, we can see ourselves clearly in His image, reversing the curse of the fall.
The battle with sin haunts every Christian. We find ourselves doing the things we donβt want to do, and inevitably we face the fear of judgment. And whether He will truly come to raise us from the dead, considering our failures.
In this teaching, PD & Christina takes a deeper look at habitual sin, the gospel, and the secret to escaping sin prison.
When we hear about something like the '10 Commandments', we quickly think: "yeah, I've heard that before" - perhaps you can even recite them by heart! But when we uncover the deeper meaning of the words, we may find we've forgotten some of them in our lives.
Check out these awesome testimonies from Rise Up earlier this year! We are now bringing Rise Up to Arkansas, 1-4 September 2023. A time of deliverance, baptisms, outreach & equipping in the Holy Spirit!
Finding himself in the middle of the Jesus Revolution, Daniel started an unexpected journey of faith that led him to experience the power of the Holy Spirit and truth of God's unchanging Word.
Can God do it again with this generation? And what lessons can we learn from the past?
Yeshua desires to use His people as His hands & feet, but we cannot do anything for Him without the Holy Spirit sent. He found it so important, that it became the reason for His ascension. He wants to empower you, but it requires a hunger for more, and knock for the door to be opened.
Pornography, pride, disunity & fruits of the flesh not only places our soul in danger, but our children are suffering for it. While we are distracted by what is happening outside, our homes lay in ruin. God is calling all believers to repentance from the sins we have allowed in, for judgment is coming on the household of God first.
Was it right for Paul to so strongly rebuke Peter? Because we don't understand who the circumcision party was or what they believed, many have false assumed that Paul rebuked Peter for teaching Gentiles to keep the law of God. But a deeper look at the context of Scripture reveals a much more sinister belief that Paul is exposing.
Paul's writings on appearances have often been removed from context to create new laws around dress & jewelry for Christians in certain denominations - what did Paul really mean? While how we present ourselves on the outside does matter, what remains most important is how we are dressed inside.
It is easy to become hyper-focused on outward things on ourselves & others, while neglecting our hearts. It is in this state we are most likely to take His name in vain.
A Critical Spirit is underestimated as it moves among believers to turn us against one another, and even against the Light itself. When we find ourselves consumed by the desire to criticize, while rarely being an encouragement, we must ask who is leading our discernment.
It has become clear that every church will face LGBTQ ideas.
In this video, I give my first impression to a Reverend's testimonial on what is happening in his denomination.
The tragic accident of the Titanic submarine has sparked a shocking response from the world. Instead of mourning with those who mourn and grieving for the loss of life, it is becoming normalized to mock the death of others. Perhaps this reveals the present state of humanity more than anything.
May we all evaluate our hearts and eternity in light of this sobering event.
We are in a war of pride - not a war against flesh & blood, not just a culture war, a spiritual war. Considering the climate of the world this month, it is no surprise that the upcoming Q&A's are full of questions relating to pride & humility.
When it comes to the gift of healing, a frequent accusation is if the gift was legitimate - why don't believers clear out the hospitals from the sick?
In this sermon at Mercy Collective in Nashville, PD details his personal journey of how God taught him to walk in the Spirit. We all face the internal conflict of the flesh with the Holy Spirit, but it is in this that we learn a greater surrender to see His power in our lives like never before.
But without a greater step of faith, no one can walk in the Holy Spirit.
It seems as though in the world, it is difficult to find anyone with great success who hasn't been corrupted by it. When we start believing we're strong, we will soon lose it all - because we fail to remember where all good things come from - and just how weak we really are.
Every single one of us will be tempted with pride, but will you be left standing?
The Jubilee is a biblical celebration that seems impossible to keep in our day. But a greater revelation was given by Yeshua on how we can each fulfill the year of the Lordβs favor in our lives - only possible by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit!
Many have asked me this before, it's a BIG question. Here's my answer. And I hope my answer makes you ponder what it means to be a follower of Christ as well.
Episode Notes I truly believe 2023 is a year when our Father is calling for a greater type of first fruit offering, and those who offer it, will grow their relationship with Him like never before!

God is calling His people to become the most important evidence of Yeshua's resurrection, through our transformation & empowerment. But this will only be possible if we love the presence of King Yeshua more than the presence of pride, bitterness, hatred, and other walls we have built between us and men. We must realize those are the same walls standing between us and the Holy Spirit.

God called the Levitical priests to guard the Temple and the people. But the battle is not against flesh & blood. As priests, God is calling us to guard the Temple of the Holy Spirit entrusted to us as we walk in the gifts of the Holy Spirit responsibly.
In this teaching, we will look at 8 misuses of spiritual gifts, 3 strategies Satan uses to attack the Temple of God, and how to guard His Temple.

What the world needs are disciples who proclaim the gospel in the way Yeshua did: With a personal touch of reconciling the hearer with the Father. But the only way this was possible, was through the divine revelation and empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Peter was known as sent by God through the signs that accompanied His preaching.
What if we can also see what Yeshua saw, if we do what He did?

Marriage is about more than a man & a woman - it presents a covenant to communicate the gospel and give the world insight into Godβs relationship with His people. But that means our responsibility towards this covenant is both more beautiful and serious at the same time.

As believers, we have a greater responsibility than ever before to be beacons of truth in a world of misinformation, confusion and falsehood. But our enemy is setting traps for Christians everywhere in hope that they discredit themselves by breaking the commandments of truth given by our Heavenly Father.
Consider this warning and be an honorable example of Christ!

In the scriptures, Paul instructs certain people to be "delivered to Satan", but what does this mean? An in-context reading of the chapter provides an important lesson as to what we should do when someone turns away from God.

There is a move among Godβs people to restore Spirit & Truth worship, and this desire is perhaps evident in the upcoming American Gospel movie. But we must approach this conversation with a willingness to listen, setting aside hurts of the past that may color our vision, and be willing to step into a greater of measure of faith to walk like Yeshua.
Is the American Gospel trailer unbiased? PD watches it and shares his first impressions.

When facing the unfortunate reality of unclean spirits masquarading as the Holy Spirit, it can be easy to let our bad experiences be what trains our discernment. And even though this seems like an obvious error to avoid, its rampant among believers, and exactly the intention of our enemy. True discernment must be trained by the Scriptures.
When someone leaves the faith and stops following Jesus, we need to take notice. What went wrong? Itβs one thing if someone departs because of the truth, but it's another when someone departs because of something believers have done wrong.
For those who lived before Jesus, how could they be saved before their Savior arrived? Did God make provision for them, and if so, how?
Passover is about recognizing what Yeshua did for us, but also what He calls us to do after His resurrection. The staff, the belt, the shoes and many other elements all teach us a powerful calling as we await His return!
In our excitement of returning to the Biblical feasts as described in the Torah, could it be that weβve missed the importance of an essential part of celebrating Passover, as described in the New Testament? This would not be the first time!
Paul warned the Church of Corinth about partaking in Yeshuaβs body & blood unworthily. Could we be making the same mistake today?
Torah Portion: Tzav | Command | Χ¦Φ·Χ
Some Christians have used the sacrifice of Jesus as a 'get out of jail free' card. If we've wronged someone, all we need to do is ask for God's forgiveness, right? The Bible commands more: That restitution is paid to the one you hurt, wronged, defrauded or damaged. Whether emotionally, spiritually or physically, all of us will both experience or cause hurt.
The question is, will we follow God's mandate of resolution, or trample underfoot the sacrifice of Christ instead?
When we walk in passion for the Truth and works of the Holy Spirit, love must remain at the forefront of everything we do. In this interview, Jeff & Miranda asks PD about his life growing up, past struggles and the call of God for this generation.
Faith seems simple, but it's not always easy. Sometimes God doesn't seem to answer, sometimes we find ourselves in confusing trials, but He remains above all things and in all things.
Join Christina as she shares 3 important things she learned about her prayers to God.
"Spirit & Truth" is God's call for this generation, and more and more are starting to use this term. But as we return to walk as Yeshua, we must be careful to not repeat the mistakes of the past: Spirit & Truth isn't about a show, entertainment, or building man's kingdom. It's about holiness, orderly worship and humility.
Whenever God is moving, the enemy seeks to introduce a counterfeit. It is therefore our call to ensure Biblical Order is reintroduced, yet not at the cost of freedom.
God is restoring His children's bread back to them: Deliverance. He is teaching us how to deal with demons in the ways that Yeshua dealt with them. But it means some of us will need to be bold, uncompromising, and not fearful of man's opinions when doing so. There are many "policies" that we have created to deal with people's bondage, but some of these have been made as a compromise to the method of Yeshua. Deliverance is controversial! But sometimes the problem is a demon, and nothing else but casting them out will provide freedom.
Let us not place man-made solutions/"burdens on the shoulders of men" that will not actually help them, because we are unwilling to recognize that their issue really is demonic, and needs Yeshua's method to get rid of them.
God is raising a new generation of young people for Him, to worship Him like never before: In Spirit & Truth! In this episode, youth share their testimonies of how God radically delivered them from demons, fears, suicidal thoughts, depression, addiction and more! PD also delivers an important message for the next generation.
Be sure to stay until the end, for an incredible moment of parents blessing and praying over their children to be sent out with the gospel!
Torah Portion: Ki Tisa / When you take / ΧΦ΄ΦΌΧ ΧͺΦ΄Χ©ΦΈΦΌΧΧ
The Levitical temple and all of its different elements, such as the anointing oil, temple tax, bronze basin, and incense, were given for a purpose overlooked all too often: To provide us with a deeper revelation of the gospel, our role as priests ministering in the intimacy of the Father, and our role as temple of the Holy Spirit.
The Rise Up highlight video is here! Are you hungry for a move of God? He is calling a generation to rise up and obey the call of Yeshua to make disciples of all nations. He has given us authority to heal the sick and cast out demons, He has risen and saved us, for us to rise and bring His salvation to others.
There's been a lot of talk about revival. But what does the fruits of revival look like? Revival is not just a singular event, true revival will transform us. In this special release, we share multitudes of testimonies from attendees at the recent RISE UP event who went onto the streets to proclaim the gospel, feed the hungry, and change cities with Yeshua's love!
All believers ought to read the Bible, but gaining knowledge isn't enough. How you read the Bible will greatly influence your relationship with God, others, and even your eternity. Some read the Scriptures in order to find ammunition against the lawless. Others read the Scriptures and find that lawlessness within themselves.
The posture of our heart in our reading is everything and will determine whether we allow the Holy Spirit to heal our hearts of stone.
I'm excited to announce that I will be doing a special LIVE show this SATURDAY at 8pm EST with Dr. Craig Keener, Biblical Scholar and Asbury Seminary Professor. What I love about Dr. Keener is his humble heart and passion for the Father, His love for the Sabbath and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
We've all seen what has happened in Asbury, but what does this mean for the world? What role does the Holy Spirit desire to have in our current times? And what is our responsibility?
The Asbury event has stirred much controversy, even causing a divide within the Body of Christ regarding its authenticity. While discussion can be healthy, could we be in the process of witnessing God exposing an underlying religious spirit operating among us?
If He is cleansing His threshing floor, we need to make sure we are found working for the right Kingdom.
There's been a lot of talk on social media about the ongoing Asbury Revival. Join me as we speak with someone on the ground about what is really happening in Kentucky, and consider according to the Scriptures.
Being filled with the Spirit is pursued by many, but what can men do to deserve Holy Spirit filling their temple? Perhaps even that is the wrong question to ask entirely.
Join PD as he explores two common misconceptions of how to be filled with the Holy Spirit!
Episode NotesThere have been many movements throughout history where God poured out His Spirit over His people. But I believe God is doing something different from anything in thousands of years. He is restoring Spirit AND Truth worship to His people. That means not repeating the errors of generations before. We will have balance, we will have order, we will have holiness, we will have integrity, all while not quenching His Holy Spirit!
From all over the world, Christians are being convicted to take a closer look at Casting out Demons. This practice has been discounted by some in the modern church, even completely replaced by alternative solutions to the bondages faced by multitudes today. But if Jesusβ ministry had a large focus on casting out demons, how can Christians - those who claim to follow Jesus - ignore it?
Join me in rediscovering this precious authority Yeshua has left for us.
The promises of God are what we cling to when we are facing trial, in need of hope, and to be reminded of who our God is. Join Christina in this reading of our collection of the top 50 promises of God, with prayer and ambient music.
Read along, pray along, and fill your home with God's promises.
Will the church be kept safe from trials of the end? Can those who lived before the time of Jesus be saved? Does the Sabbath start sunrise or sundown? What does God teach regarding disciplining children? Why doesn't everyone get healed?
One Biblical passage seems especially confusing: The punishment of stoning for a rebellious child. But upon investigation, it reveals a deeper lesson (and Good News!) when taking into consideration God's perspective, the purpose, and the historical application of this law.
I would like to you invite you to our event, Rise Up coming up in Missouri, as well as our upcoming live Q&A's!

Casting out demons is a practice largely forsaken by the modern western church - but why is this? Is it supposed to play a role in the lives of believers, or stowed away in ancient history? What are the symptoms of demonic oppression? How is deliverance to be approached? What causes demonic oppression? And are demons as scary as Hollywood would like us to believe?
Join PD in this live show joined by John Diffenderfer as they discuss their experiences with Casting out Demons
If we are advocates of praying for the sick and believing God for healing, where does that leave medicines, doctors or other physical treatments? And does the use of 'Pharmakeia' in Greek mean that medicine is sorcery according to the Bible?
These are common questions, and we hope this discussion and analysis of scripture blesses you!
When Moses was born, Pharaoh sought to kill the baby. When Jesus was born, Herod sought to kill the baby. When God births leaders, the enemy will do everything he can to stop them from rising up, even going as far as genocide. But what if we are living in a time of one such genocide?
A "spiritual genocide." In the end of days, this great falling away will take place. But when it happens, what will you do about it? And most importantly, what will God do?
Torah Portion: Shemot / Names / Χ©Φ°ΧΧΧΦΉΧͺ
God is calling His people to a time of fasting like Jesus fasted, to develop a deeper hunger for God's presence than ever before. But there's a problem: God's people have lost sight of the purposes of fasting, how to fast, or even why they would care to. Yeshua taught this spiritual discipline not as optional but expected of His disciples.
And He is restoring it back to us for a time like this!
After Jesus warned His disciples against adultery of the heart, He said it would be better to cut off a hand that causes them to stumble, than to enter hell with it. In the epidemic of lust and pornography among believers, God is urgently calling many of us to 'cut off a hand'. Many are at risk of entering hell, while they think they're headed for heaven.
But because of my love for you, I must give you this sobering warning of Yeshua.
For many years, those in the New-Age and witchcraft communities have pointed to Joseph's Cup of Divination as evidence of a biblical "Christian witchcraft." While ruling in Egypt, Joseph accused his brothers of stealing his Cup of Divination, and boasted to his brothers that he can indeed practice divination (Gen 44:15).
Why did Joseph say this? Did Joseph practice divination? Let's unpack this much needed discussion!
The parallels between Joseph and Jesus are well-known, but often unconsidered are the profound connections of Joseph's life to Yeshua's end-times return, and judgment of the world.
Join PD for a deeper look at this week's Torah Portion teaching! Torah Portion: Vayigash / He approached / ΧΦ·ΧΦ΄ΦΌΧΦ·ΦΌΧ©Χ
The world believes it can walk out a moral life without the need for God or a higher power, but is this at all possible? And can we determine a moral standard without God? I hope these apologetics helps you have fruitful conversations with unbelievers!
At the burning bush, Moses told God he would never be able to convince Israel to leave Egypt. Moses wrongly questioned God's power. But in another way, Moses was right to doubt reliance on his own abilities.
Are we sometimes reliant on our own abilities? It will drive us to the same frustrations and uncertainties that Moses faced. But God has good news for us!
Christmas is here - the central feast of Christian celebration, celebrating the birth of Jesus. And Jesus is worthy of our celebration all days of the year. But what are the feasts that God called His people to according to the Bible? And have we celebrated our own inventive traditions at the cost of the Biblical feasts given by our Father in the Bible? This is not a video about the pagan backgrounds of Christmas. But rather a deeper consideration of whether our priorities of feast-keeping align with the Father's, whether we celebrate Christmas or not. And ultimately, how we ought to act in the midst of the disagreements that plague households in this season
Torah Portion: Vayeshev / He settled / ΧΦ·ΧΦ΅ΦΌΧ©ΦΆΧΧ
Joseph boasted against his brothers, who proceeded to tear his robe and cover it in blood. Like Joseph, our robes are covered in blood. Our sin has rightfully accused us. Our imprisonment awaits. But Yeshua saw our distress, and his robe was covered in blood for us. Everything done against Him was turned around for good. And our bloody robes went from scarlet to white as snow.
The Lord's Prayer has become "old-news" to so many of us. But what if this is the most important, yet most underrated prayer in all of Scripture? And what if this prayer of Yeshua contains a special anointing?
Join PD & Christina as they explore the deeper message within the Lord's Prayer.
Throughout life, we will face seasons of prosperity, where it feels like everything is going well, and can go well forever. But then, we face seasons of great need, distress, trial, fear and desperation. To navigate these seasons, Paul relays for us the secret to facing both abundance and need.
Every country has to face the shocking acts done by certain individuals. But is there a pattern? And is there anything that we can do to help? I would like to submit to you that it is us, not regulation, that plays the largest role.
By walking like Jesus, and extending His hand of love and truth, we can save lives through His work and Holy Spirit.

Jacob's ladder is a dream of angels ascending and descending upon a heavenly ladder into heaven. But what does this mean? And how do we get access?
Yeshua revealed the spiritual mystery behind this dream, and how He is going to fulfill it within each of us on a personal level. Jacob's ladder is here - now.
But will you climb it? Torah Portion: Vayetze | He went out | ΧΦ·ΧΦ΅ΦΌΧ¦Φ΅Χ
Many of us have experienced moments or seasons when we struggle to hear God's voice, has He left us? Are there times that God goes silent for a reason? This happens to all of us at some point.
Join PD as he explores this frequently asked question and how you can grow deeper in your relationship with God!
Did you know that before the foundation of the Earth was laid, God gifted you a birthright? Discovering and living in that birthright fulfills your life calling and makes you a builder of God's Kingdom. But the enemy is desperately trying to convince you to surrender your inheritance for the things of the world. God will accomplish all His plans, but the question is, will you choose this day to play a part in it, or watch Him use others instead?
Torah Portion: Toldot | Family history | ΧͺΦΌΧΦΉΧΦ°ΧΧΦΉΧͺ
Every culture for the last two thousand years has attempted to tell the story of Jesus in a way that is familiar to their own ethnic groups, creating depictions of Jesus that would be relatable and accessible. But while on the surface this seems quite innocent, can there be a hidden danger and slippery slope to creating a Jesus fashioned in our image, cultures, traditions, worldviews, and likeness? Who is the Jesus of Scripture, and how are we to represent Him to the world?
God commands His people to "not muzzle an ox while it's treading out the grain." But is it with animals that God is concerned? Surely, but He says this even for our sake. Let's learn what this commandment really teaches in how we ought to treat our neighbor's labors.
We need a DEEPER understanding of God's COMPASSION! I'm excited to share with you live tonight about one of the most incredible encounters I've ever had. While talking with a few unbelieving teenagers about God in a mall, they questioned His existence. But what God does next would leave them speechless!
I'll then explain WHY I believe it happened as miraculously as it did, and HOW you can start seeing God touch people through you by the Holy Spirit.
Every great kingdom, every king and queen, and every modern superpower - will all one day fall. What has been, will be again. Yet many of us place our trust in these powers of the world. But there is One Kingdom that has risen that will never fall, but the question is: What Kingdom do you serve? And in which King do you place your trust?
In a culture where we βtest outβ many people in the hope of finding βThe Oneβ, what if the Bible provides a way that is so much easier, avoids heartbreak, and glorifies the power of God? What if true freedom in seeking a spouse is when we entrust that choice to God?
The One who can best write the stories of our lives is the One who created us - God is still speaking, but will we listen?
Hundreds of years ago, Martin Luther nailed a thesis to the door of a church that marked the beginning of a worldwide church reformation. But what if God has been ushering in a new truth reformation? For all His people to be freed from traditions of men, in order to worship Him in Truth and holiness? A return to the pure walk of Christ!
Join PD and Christina in this exciting conversation with the couple behind The Way Documentary - Luke & Kayte Abaffy
Being a Christian in our modern culture has been boiled down to coming to filling a pew on Sunday and then going home - with very little expectation to participate in the new Life Christ has for us. But the faith of the early church looked radically different, because instead of creating people who are simply dependent and uninvolved, they created disciples who were trained to go out, spread the Gospel, and be empowered by spiritual gifts to bring destruction upon the enemy's kingdom.
This is what God is calling us back to: A body of believers who desire to walk like Yeshua walked in humility, power, and love, and who go out and bring God's Kingdom to earth as it is in heaven by impacting one person at a time - to make disciples, not dependents.
Episode Notes Sukkot Revival: That's what this Feast of Tabernacles felt like. I had the honor of ministering at 3 feast events two weeks ago, and I have not witnessed such hunger for His Holy Spirit in this movement before. I would like to share some of the testimonies, the state of the Body of Believers, and I have a message to share for spiritual leaders. I'm still blown away by everything that happened, glory to God! The Holy Spirit requires a hunger in His people - and HE SATISFIES!π₯ Christina and I were honored to meet with and minister to many who chose to surrender their lives to Yeshua and get baptized, and many who were met with incredible physical healing and deliverance from issues of the heart. It was incredible to see God's people come forward in UNITY to receive prayer and pray over their brothers and sisters in love and power, operating in their Spiritual gifts. Some of whom had never experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit before.
People of God, it's time to RISE UP! May we become the Tabernacles of the Holy Spirit and God's Presence we were always called to be in Yeshua.
Halloween is almost here, and many believers have no problem celebrating a day that glorifies darkness. Many have called what is evil, good. But we would be deceived to think that's where it all stops. The enemy's next trap is to confuse believers into calling what is good, evil. And many believers end up coming against the Kingdom of God itself without even realizing it.
Episode Notes Many of us have heard that the reason for God forbidding His people to mix wool & linen in their clothing is because this fabric mix is reserved for the priesthood. But where does this idea truly come from? What if a corruption of man influenced not only priestly attire, but the make-up of tzitzits itself well into the first-century.
Episode Notes It's the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem, Yeshua stands up by the tabernacle and cries out with a loud voice, "Whoever is thirsty, come to Me and drink!" Declaring that a New Temple had arrived in Jerusalem. At a well, He tells a Samaritan Woman: "Drink of me, and you'll never go thirsty again", and that He is bringing about a revolution of His Father's Tabernacle itself, changing the way God is about to dwell with His people forevermore, enabling them to worship in Spirit & Truth - but will you believe this promise? Do you understand where the True Tabernacle is? Grasping it will change the way you see life forever.

Episode Notes The Bible commands to not plow oxen & donkeys together (Deut 22:10), but what do these have to do with us? Could this strange law actually be God giving the most important romantic relationship advice ever?
Episode Notes In 2020, the Lord impressed a word in my heart for His people - but the message was reserved for today. Now I am sharing what the Lord told me in 2020 about the mystery of His provision. Many of us are still living as slaves in Egypt, trusting the Pharoahs of this world to provide our needs. But will we trust in YHVH, who calls us to prepare spiritually above all. In whom will we trust?
Episode Notes On the Day of Atonement, we often state: "May you be inscribed in the Book of Life." But the scriptures also speak of other books that will be opened: Books that contain a record of everything we've ever done or said. Today, we have to be reminded of the reality that those books will one day be opened and used to judge us by, and as we speak, our works are being inscribed.
God calls us to be reminded of the Kingdom to come and to live for it!

Episode Notes As Christina grew up as a young teenager, she grew up in an organization that prioritized modesty and purity for women. While these are both important and Biblical concepts, the mindset of this organization took it to the extreme and impacted her perception of biblical modesty and womanhood.
Throughout much of Christianity, could it be that we are causing the very things we hope to avoid? Changing the perception of women into sexual objects to satisfy an unbiblical patriarchy, where men are freed from all responsibility. But what does Scripture say about this? π₯

Episode Notes Is Spiritual Fast Food killing us? We can all agree that shallow sermons and motivational speeches have become a theological junk food many in mainstream Christianity live on, yet is there another kind of spiritual junk food that is starving even those of us who have left the mainstream church behind?
Episode Notes If the trumpets blew today, what would run through your mind? Β For some, the sound of trumpets would be the sound of excitement itself, for it proclaims the return of their King. For others, the sound of trumpets is a gloomy sound that instills great fear. The sound of realizing: "I never had time to repent." Β It is time for us to face the only question that will ever really matter: Will the King know me? And what would He have to say about me?

Episode Notes The Bible is often criticized for having strange laws, such as commanding a man who wishes to marry a war captive to shave her head and have her mourn for a month. But is this a senseless law, or one of hidden blessing for the captive woman?
Episode Notes A popular claim made by those who believe spiritual gifts of prophecy, healing and tongues have ceased today is that Charismatics base their theology entirely off emotionalism and experiences, instead of Scripture. But could it be that Cessationists are guilty of the very thing they accuse Charismatics of? Is there any basis for Cessationist theology, and if so, what is it built upon?
Episode Notes We are excited to be in Wyoming, Oklahoma and Texas in the next 2 months! Come and join us at one of our events, and please pray for us.
Episode Notes Today I am excited to be joined live by Pastor John Diffenderfer! God is raising a generation on fire for God, called with a powerful calling to change the world. But it means placing our Kingdom Calling above all else, while putting off the distractions of the world. Many are called, but will you heed the call? How do we find our Kingdom Calling? How do we navigate the dangers of unbelief, lack of self-confidence, or pride in relation to calling?
Strangely, the Bible commands to not mix seeds in a vineyard, or unnaturally breed different kinds of animals. But what is this all about? And could it have something to do with the reason for Noah's flood, the giants of the Bible, and Israel's journey through the wilderness?
Episode Notes A new pandemic has arrived that distracts us to look upon others, while missing what's happening in our own hearts.
Episode Notes There's a lie in the church that says blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the simple rejection of Christ as Messiah. But why does Yeshua contrast the blasphemy against the Son as forgivable, while blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not? An unforgivable sin sounds like a scary idea, and for some even out of character of the Messiah Himself, but what did Yeshua really teach?
Episode Notes Did you know youβre a king? Yeshua calls us as kings and priests of His Kingdom. And as any king, you have treasures. But are some of us squandering our inheritance?
Episode Notes Look around you and ask: Where are the youth at our churches and conferences? Why are the numbers shrinking, and what can we do about it? We have a potential generational crisis on our hands with the next generation leaving the faith, and we must take prompt action, starting in our own households. Join me in this Thursday livestream to discuss this important issue.
Episode Notes Yeshua told us what the coming New Kingdom will be like, but are we already walking that kingdom out on Earth? Are we treating who will be greatest in the coming kingdom as the greatest today? Perhaps most surprisingly, Yeshua describes the "greatest" in the coming Kingdom to be whom we least expect.
Episode Notes When we've been deeply hurt by someone, the call to forgive them can seem possible at first - we pray the prayer, declare our forgiveness, yet we wake up the next day angry all over again. And 20 years later, we find ourselves with a heart of bitterness. How do we find lasting forgiveness? Forgiveness is not a prayer, or a single moment, but biblically - so much more. Join PD as he explores how to sow lasting forgiveness in our hearts.
Episode Notes The other day as PD and I were out for a walk, we came across the worst smell on planet earth: a dead skunk. But in my prayer time, God showed me that the worst smell on earth isn't a skunk, it's our sin. Join me as I delve into three things that Scripture says are a sweet aroma for our King!
Episode Notes What did Yeshua mean when he told the Samaritan woman that God is calling a people who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth? Has the phrase "Spirit and Truth worship" become a clichΓ© that has often been used, but rarely understood?
Join PD and Zadoak Ministries as they have a podcast conversation exploring what Biblical Spirit and Truth worship is, looking at the walk of Yeshua.
Episode Notes "The most comprehensive look at whether spiritual gifts ceased on the Internet!" Many Christians believe the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased with the 12 Apostles, but have they?
This podcast will test all prominent Cessationist arguments, look at early church history and eyewitness accounts, and most importantly - test all these to Scripture.

Episode Notes Shalom everyone! I've been quiet lately, for good reason. The past few weeks, Father has guided me in putting together what I believe may be one of the most comprehensive evaluations of Cessationism ever done before.
Cessationism is the prominent Reformed belief that the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased with the 12 Apostles.
This video will test all prominent Cessationist arguments, look at history and eyewitness accounts, and most importantly - test all these to Scripture. Above you can watch the sneak peek to get you excited, and next week the full episode launches.
I am excited to share this with you, and I believe this will equip you with apologetics and understanding for what the Bible teaches regarding spiritual gifts in modern times.

Episode Notes As important as teachers are in the Body, have we elevated them at the expense of other offices? Has the Five Fold ministry become One Fold? And could this have caused us to lose out on aspects of Christβs ministry?
Join this teaching on Ephesians 4 and the restoration of the offices God is calling us back to!
Episode Notes Over the past few months, a popular teaching has been going around on Facebook: That because the Holy Spirit dwells within you, you CANNOT welcome the Holy Spirit into your service, home, or space - even going so far as to say that trying to βwelcome the Holy Spiritβ is a form of manipulation. But is this teaching Biblical? Where is the Holy Spirit? And how do we relate with Him? Join PD and Christina as they go back to Scripture and discuss.
Episode Notes We can feel mature in faith due to our intellectualism or even great demonstrations of faith. But there is something that, if missed, would spell most unfortunate for the life of a believer: A lack of good fruit. Good fruit isnβt being the smartest or having the most faith, itβs demonstrating the character of your Messiah to people around you β and especially your enemies!
Do you bear good fruit? Join PD & Christina in this brief teaching to evaluate each fruit of the Spirit in light of our own lives.
Episode Notes Today more than ever, our young people are leaving the faith because they have never personally encountered Yeshua or theyβve been taught false gospels promoted by our churches or culture. But what is the Gospel, biblically?
Join Christina as she explores how the Good News of Yeshua is revealed in the Garden of Eden like youβve never heard before. This is your invitation to take part in Godβs restoration plan - restoring the Garden and bringing Godβs Kingdom to earth as it is in heaven.
Something beautiful is coming: Imagine a people of God worshiping Him in holiness & truth; and in the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit. A people who keep the commandments, yet heal the sick, speak in tongues and prophesy. These are those who fulfill Yeshua's desire of a people who will rise to worship Him in Spirit & Truth!
But to get there, we need accountability and order, so as to not repeat the mistakes of those who have come before us.

Episode Notes It's easy to point out someone's sin or faults when we believe we have the moral authority and superiority to do so. But do we become hypocrites when we do so without authentic love for them as a person, or real concern for their future, both eternal and here on earth? In this video, PD and Christina respond to well-known Psychologist Jordan Peterson as he shares his heart-felt thoughts on this topic.
Episode Notes New episode in the Divided Bible Series! Missed Part 1? Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhx38...
For many, although the Old Testament contains good stories and lessons, some of its commandments are practically regarded as an ancient relic of the past. More relevant for an ancient people than for us. Superseded by the more-modern, more-relevant New Testament. But what if the New Covenant was so more than many believers grasp? How did the Early Church move in such great power in the world? And what if part of our modern deficit has been due to a dividing away of the Torah & Prophets?
Episode Notes Throughout the scriptures, the flesh is spoken of as if it's the enemy of the believer, at enmity with the Spirit, and comes in our way of communion with God. But didn't God create this fleshly body we dwell in? In this video, we answer a question from one of our listeners.

Episode Notes Recently, theology has emerged among believers that while the New Testament provides us the Messiah and solution to sin, apart from this nothing new or unique was given. But the question is: Did the Old Testament believers have access to the Holy Spirit in the same way that we have today? Your answer to this question will radically change the way you interpret the New Testament and what your life as a disciple is to look like.
Unfortunately, believers to be divided over this question. But I believe a careful study of scripture makes this clear and simple to understand - the question is, will we believe the bold claims the Scriptures make for us regarding the Holy Spirit?
Episode Notes Corrupt pastors, the Prosperity Gospel, Kundalini spirits, Fake Healings...we've all seen or experienced the harm caused by these counterfeit and deceptive gospels. However, is it possible that the trauma caused by spiritual abuse has clouded our vision and caused us to reject what IS true in God's Kingdom? What does Scripture say about Leadership, Giving, Spiritual Gifts, and the Holy Spirit - and what SHOULD they look like?
Episode Notes Miriam was a prophetess that helped deliver Moses from the Egyptians, was the first worship leader of Israel - singing the Song of Moses, and witness all of God's wonders over Egypt. Yet her life ends as a mere footnote of her death in an unrelated verse. An unfortunate legacy the scriptures do not praise. Her good deeds were overshadowed the day she opposed Moses; and her speech caused a spiritual leprosy to invade Israel, even indirectly leading to the death of 14,700.
But it's still possible for us to fall into the same temptation as Miriam, and in this story, God shows us how to avoid it.

Episode Notes You heard it right. Join me live as I embark upon the challenge to read a list of every single commandment in the New Testament!
Episode Notes In the fall, not only was Adam & Eve kicked out of the Garden of Eden, but they were introduced to a new one. Part of the curse of the fall allowed for new types of plants to be introduced, bearing thorns & thistles. Demonstrating the consequences of listening to the wrong voice, and how a new seed has infiltrated God's creation.
But God now calls His people to restore His Garden back to the world, battling against the deceit of the enemy and wickedness in this world. But in order for you to succeed, you must be planted in good soil and bear good fruit.
Join me as we uncover revelation upon revelation of the Garden we are to become!
Torah Portion: Korach | Korah | Χ§ΧΦΉΧ¨Φ·Χ
Episode Notes We all know the headlines. It seems like its a new one every other week now. The latest pastor who has fallen into adulteries, or even raping younger children. It is quite easy for the church to point the finger at the immoralities of the world, but are we not to judge inside the church?
Not all of Christianity is guilty of this. But when was the last time you heard a sermon on how God considers the sin of adultery so serious, that He instituted the death penalty? Or how with rape He required the life of the offender?
Instead, for many of these offending pastors, a temporary leave with a "sorry about that" is enough to satisfy the discourse, only to have him back next year. If me, being a believer can say this, what may the world (being at enmity with God) say?
If we don't speak out and judge the immoral in our midst we call "brother", then the world will. And they will rightfully accuse us of hypocrisy and misrepresentation of what we say we believe. Worst of all, perhaps, many of them will attribute our hypocrisy to our Messiah. And our hands will be full of blood.
The rise of Progressive Christianity and a great falling away isn't the fault of the liberals or the immoral in the world. No. It is the fault of the compromising church, who in her hypocrisy have allowed immorality to flourish within. And when it flourishes within, will the world not only take what they have learned one step further?
Episode Notes Join PD and Christina for this podcast-style conversation where Christina makes an embarrassing confessionπ: "Growing up, I had little to no concept about the Holy Spirit or the Spiritual Gifts - I rarely heard them mentioned, and I never saw them practiced by those around me! Shortly before I met Pd, I knew something was missing in my faith walk, and I had a burning desire to walk more like Yeshua. However it was only when I met PD and got to know him that I realized how little I knew about the Holy Spirit and its gifts, especially the gift of healing."
Episode Notes Hannibal grew up in a church where many people "Spoke in Tongues." But he also grew confused and lonely because he didn't himself. After being spiritually wounded regarding this gift, he lost interest almost completely. But years later, God awoke his spirit to a reignited desire for spiritual gifts. And the first gift God wants him to have? Speaking in Tongues.
Episode Notes Why are we here? What is the point of this life? What is our purpose and do we have value? These are the questions that each of us face, but are there answers? The answer to these questions is the very thing that would unlock our greatest potential, give us freedom and true fulfillment, and help us live a life of purpose - a life that not just for the βnowβ but for eternity.
We live in a voice-activated world, where every word we say to others or speak over ourselves has the power of life or death, to build-up or tear-down. But as Scripture says, we speak out what our hearts are full of. Whose voice are you listening to in your life, Yeshuaβs voice or the enemy?
Itβs time to stop giving the enemyβs lies authority in your life, itβs time to walk in your true identity as an image-bearer of the King. Remember which Kingdom you represent - your words have power, speak life.
SPEAK LIFE: The Destructive & Life-Giving Power of the TongueEpisode Notes
The American Dream is the western world's ideal: A pursuit of happiness each person is in a race for. But as good as the "American Dream" sounds, is it Biblical? I would like to submit to you that many believers are chasing after a ghost of the American Dream full of empty promises. Some of us have pursued it, only to be left feeling more lonely than ever before. And even for those of us who tried avoiding it, this mindset has influenced the way we see ourselves, others, and even God.
Join me in this livestream as we expose the Ghost of the American Dream in the Church.
Episode Notes When we are about to be confronted with the one who witnesses everything, how will we respond?
Today I'd like to take you on a journey to a strange story few people know in the Bible: The Test of the Adulterous Woman. A story not just about an adulterous woman, but each of us. What does an adulterous woman have to do with you? Everything, because God has called you to become a spotless Bride of Christ, and one day we will each need to take an oath of innocence. But Yeshua warns us that some who considered themselves believers will be in danger on this day.
Episode Notes The thief on the cross had nothing to offer God, yet Christ saved Him at his last moments because of His faith. The simplicity of the gospel is genuinely demonstrated. But the thief has also often been brought up as the role model for living a Christian life of "mere belief" without deep commitment towards the faith. Did Christ die for us to live as the thief, only to realize the mistake on our deathbed? In reality, it actually seems as though the thief was one of the worst examples to follow, while Christ's life of radical fruit remains the only role model worth looking to.
God has called a new era upon us, where His people have become walking temples of Spirit & Truth bringing in a great harvest. But it's going to require of His people to leave the edges of the field for the poor, so they may receive the True Manna from Heaven.
THIS is our food: To do the will of our Father in heaven this Shavuot!
Episode Notes In the first-century, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees who tied heavy burdens and extra man-made traditions to the law of God - robbing people of the simplicity of God's truth.
Today, the same flavor of deception is rampant. Man-made burdens about the Holy Spirit is quenching the Spirit in many people. But this Shavuot, will we begin placing an end to it?
Episode Notes Even as believers, we can find ourselves in a prison. Has God abandoned us? How could He allow this to happen to us?
And what are we to do when we face trial? Paul & Silas found themselves in a prison, but would soon realize that all is not as it seems - that even their seemingly meaningless trial had incredible purpose in God's Kingdom: To save a suicidal guard and bring glory to God's faithfulness. But they needed to understand God's heart in the midst of their trial in order to be used by God according to His purposes!

Episode Notes What is the Year of Jubilee, and how does it point towards Yeshua and God's end-times restoration plan?
The Year of Jubilee is a mysterious biblical season about restoring lands and setting captives free, but found even greater meaning in Yeshua's ministry. God used it as a prophetic messenger of His plan to take back the land of the ancient Garden and our inheritance as image-bearers of the King, but none of this would be possible without the Feast of Shavuot.
Join PD with the Almond House as they discuss the importance of the Jubilee for followers of Yeshua today!
Episode Notes Christians everywhere are returning to the Biblical Festivals, but why? Aren't those 'Jewish'? Hasn't Christ "paid the price"? Isn't that "old covenant"? For these Christians, it's not to "get saved" or "work for their righteousness", but because they have a growing desire to look more like their Messiah. Here are 5 biblical reasons all Christians should consider returning!
Episode Notes Everything you need to know about keeping Counting the Omer! Join me live as we discuss the beautiful symbolism and realities of Counting the Omer, how Yeshua called His disciples to count, and its relevance in your life today. It's time for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit
Episode Notes A movement that has desired to walk more like their Messiah is developing a subset within that is growing a larger and larger contempt for the moves of Holy Spirit - His gifts exercised in the lives of believers.
Whether you understand it or not, the reality is that God is not only pouring out a revelation of truth and return to holiness upon His people, but His Spirit. And with that, we need to get rid of our denominational baggage we're still carrying to this day that has in the past stood in the way of orderly moves of Holy Spirit in our midst and inspired unbelief. God is looking for a generation of Spirit & Truth worshipers. Is your cup half-full or will you look like Yeshua?
Episode Notes Hitting a brick wall trying to witness to someone? Listen to this.
Jesus' parallel of fishermen teaches us an important lesson in our role as becoming "fishers of men." A good fisherman understands fishing is about a struggle, and if the fish gives up on this struggle, it is reeled in. In this same way, we are to approach reaching people. Join me in this teaching LIVE as we talk more about reaching even the hardest of hearts with the gospel!
Time. It's something we all have, but never seem to have enough of. We're always running out and running short on it. Time is precious, because how we spend our time, our minutes and days, is how we spend our lives. Many of us might struggle to pray or to find the right words to say. But sometimes it's ok to just be still in God's presence, to give Him your time without distraction or words spoken. Will you give God an offering of time today?
Episode Notes If God exists, then where is He? If He is real, why can't I see Him? This is an age-old question many have asked and pondered for thousands of years. Scientists recently made an INCREDIBLE discovery that sheds new light on this question of God's existence and role in our lives. You'll be surprised at just how connected everything is! Is this just an accident, or does it reveal an Intelligent Design?
Episode Notes The world is always up to something: chaos, rumors of wars, pandemics- and the media and social networks are constantly feeding into the fear. As believers living in these times, we might find ourselves searching the Scripture to see if we are the final generation who will see the rise of the Anti-Christ and Mark of the Beast. However, some believers have become so enamored with trying to uncover these mysteries that they have lost sight of the more important mission and commission Yeshua left us with before ascending.
We are called to be Witnesses, Disciple-Makers, and Emissaries of Hope to a world lost in sin and fear. When our King returns, will He find us busy about His business or our own? Will we live in fear, or will we become the Ambassadors of Hope we are called to be?
Romans 5:20 has often been used as a proof text to prove that the Law of God should not be kept by Christians, because after all, doesn't it say that the "Law increases our sin"? But is this what this passage is really saying? Join PD as he delves into the full context of the powerful message Paul was actually conveying in Romans 5.
Episode Notes Have you ever wanted to pray, but didn't know what to say? Are you tired of the enemy taking ground in your life, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and full of regret? You don't need to stay there. God is calling you to become a warrior of prayer to crush the enemy's lies that have been whispered to you for too long. Hear these practical steps to becoming a prayer warrior.
Episode Notes Shortly after God brought Israel out of slavery in Egypt with miracles and power, the Israelites find themselves in a wilderness without food or water. While it certainly was nice to be out of slavery, the road to the Promised Land wasn't as sparkly as many of the Israelites had envisioned. Instead of having faith that the God who had JUST saved them would also provide for their basic needs, they began to complain to Moses, with some even desiring to return to the melons and fish that Egypt had to offer - even if that meant returning to slavery.
While we often read this story and shake our heads at the Israelites, how often have we done the very same thing? Yeshua redeemed us from slavery to sin and death, spiritual Egypt, and yet how often do we look back to "Egypt" and crave the sins that once held us in bondage? It's impossible to go forward when we're looking backwards. God desires to bring you into the Promised Land, it's time to break every chain and walk in freedom. Join PD and be encouraged in the Lord in the prayer of deliverance at the end of this video!
Egypts first plague was the turning of water into blood. A warning of the final Plague of Passover to come: the Death of the Firstborn.
Yeshuaβs first miracle was the turning of water into wine (blood). A beckoning to His future crucifixion on the Passover.
But while Pharaoh's firstborn would die in vain. Godβs firstborn would die for the sins of Israel who had His blood on their doorposts.
And with this all: Yeshua has the face of both Mercy and Judgment. Mercy to those with His redemptive blood on their doorposts. Judgment to those who will face Him at the ever-approaching Second Coming.
Would you be among the firstborn of Pharoah, or firstborn of Israel?
New Passover Message!
Episode Notes Most of us are so familiar with Yeshua's Miracle of turning the water into wine, that we likely have it memorized. For most of us, it's been boiled down to the children's Bible version: Jesus turned the water into wine - the End! But is this really it? The fact that THIS was Yeshua's first miracle is no coincidence. Is there perhaps more to this story than we originally thought? Join Christina as she explores the powerful prophetic call hidden in this first miracle and what God desires to do through you!
Episode Notes Galatians 4 is by far one of the most frequent proof-texts used to "prove" that Paul abolished the Law of God. After all, in his example of Hagar and Sarah, it seems quite clear that Paul is saying that any attempts by Christians to follow God's Law makes them "children of the slave woman", right? This is what has been taught by many in Christianity for hundreds of years, but does the context support this claim?
Join us we jump into these highly-debated verses and discuss what Paul was really saying in this passage. The answer is so much deeper and more beautiful than often thought.
Episode Notes A revival is starting. Believers all over the world are getting on fire to walk like Yeshua walked in Spirit and in Truth, keeping the Law of God and operating in the Holy Spirit in power and in love. This revival began in the Book of Acts and whole towns and cities were won to the message of Yeshua because of it.
Man-made traditions and false doctrines have threatened to silence this message of hope through the ages, but God is raising up a new generation who will not be silenced and whose fire will not be quenched. The time is short before the return of Yeshua as King, it's time to return to the blue-print given to us in the Book of Acts - it's time to return to the walk of Yeshua.
Episode Notes We can win every theological debate and seem religious, but can we win souls?
When we first became believers, most of us were excited to spend time with God and tell everyone we knew about the new life we now have in Jesus. Our chains are gone, we've been set free! Yet as the years have gone by, many of us have become more enamored with knowing "about" God without also continuing to get to KNOW God. While we are to "study ourselves approved" (2 Tim 2:15), some of us have exchanged intimacy with God for head-knowledge, and our relationship with the Father has suffered.
We can win every theological debate, but can we win souls? The only way to walk out the Great Commission, to win the hearts of others for God's Kingdom, is by first surrendering our hearts to the Father. Will you return to your First Love?
Episode Notes The Gift of Tongues is one of the most controversial Gifts of the Spirit in modern-day Christianity. Why is this? Didn't the Apostle Paul write that the believers in the Early Church operated in the Spiritual Gifts, including the Gift of Tongues?
Respected Pastor, Theologian, and Apologist Paul Washer's answer for this is simple: The gift of tongues that the early believers used in the 1st Century Church no longer exists or is in use today. But is this the case? What SHOULD the Gift of Tongues look like, Biblically?
Join PD and Christina as they delve into what Scripture has to say about this controversial gift of the Holy Spirit, and what this means for believers.
Episode Notes It's our anniversary! And I'd like to take the opportunity to speak to you about the building blocks for a strong marriage. Christina and I have been incredibly blessed in marriage, yet all marriages face challenges to work through. How do we navigate disagreement, show each other love, and remain in the character of Yeshua to submit and love our spouse? Join me live tonight!

Episode Notes When Jesus is accused of casting out demons by the "Prince of Demons" (Matt 12), he asks the Pharisees a peculiar question: "Then by who do your sons cast them out?" And much later, we read about the sons of the high priest casting out demons - in the name of Yeshua of all names! But for them, using His name was like a secret word that they thought would give them authority. Instead, the demons overpowered them, leaving them running and naked. True biblical authority is not about believing a certain pronunciation of a name has power, that's called magic. Instead, it's KNOWING the PERSON behind the name of Lord Yeshua. In this video, we talk about casting out demons, Christian authority, and the counterfeit powers.

It's easy to feel betrayed, alone and rejected, like you can't trust anyone. And it's easy to interpret how people have treated you as the gauge of your true value. You've failed God before too, right? So maybe you're just not cut out to be a believer, to be free from your dependencies and sins. They're not that bad anyway, right?
Jesus taught one of the greatest commandments is to love your neighbor as yourself. But what if you don't have any love for yourself? Today, we will discuss the enemy's tactic to keep people away from the beautiful calling God has for them, and reveal the answer Yeshua gives. And this answer will set you free!
Episode Notes In the New Testament, we read numerous accounts of Jesus and the disciples casting out demons. They seemed to be everywhere! Why don't we see this same amount of demonic activity being cast out today? Is it because there aren't as many demons as back then, or is there another reason?
Episode Notes How do we biblically keep the Sabbath? What is breaking the Sabbath? And what about all those hard situations we face when trying? Some keep the sabbath in a legalistic way, others are careless about it. But what is the balance?
In this live show, we will look at 4 provisions Jesus gives regarding the Sabbath, and then apply them to real-life situations our viewers sent in - answering YOUR most difficult Sabbath questions!
Episode Notes Fortune-telling spirits appear friendly & ready to give advice and truth. But there's a secret about these spirits that most fortune-tellers aren't even aware of. Are they to be trusted, and if not - why not?
Episode Notes What did Paul mean when he said that he is not "under the law, but under grace"? Many have understood it to mean that we no longer need to obey the commands given in the Torah. But is this what Paul is really saying? Paul speaks of reaching those who are "under the Law" and those who are "outside the Law" as two separate and different groups. Who are these groups of people, what it does it mean for believers in Yeshua, and how do we reach them?
It's the year 2022, and an increasing group of Christians are returning to keeping the Sabbath. And this sparks an important question: Is this 4th commandment still relevant for modern Christians?
Isn't the Sabbath Jewish? Didn't Jesus break it Himself? Didn't God change the Sabbath to Sunday? Isn't Jesus our every-day Sabbath rest now? It all can just sound like a big burden. But is it? And does the Bible provide an answer to these questions in the mind of most Christians? Join PD live with David Wilber as they dive deep into rediscovering the Biblical Sabbath!

Episode Notes Many Christians believe Acts 15 teaches that we only need to be concerned with keeping 4 of God's instructions that have now replaced the 10 commandments. But is this true? Or is there more to the Jerusalem Council than what is taught in mainstream Christianity?
Episode Notes Many people do not understand how fear is controlling their every move. Fear is now considered our most natural instinct. Yet fear turns us against each other, we point the finger & cloak our fear-driven decisions to masquerade as "wisdom." But did you know the Bible considers fear something we need to be delivered from? That it is supposed to be strange for a believer to have fear of the things in this world, and that freedom is actually possible?
Episode Notes The Metaverse is now seen as the latest digital frontier humanity is about to enter. A new world where we can "create and live in our wildest dreams". But why does humanity have such a strong desire to escape the present? And what is truly on the other side?
Episode Notes The ancient spirit of Religion has been slowly draining the life from some modern-day churches. God is calling His people to return to their first love β returning to the 1st Century Church Model that impacted whole cities and nations for the Gospel β because it was built on both Spirit AND Truth!
Join PD live with The Almond House leaders as they discuss the state of churches in the UK and across the world, to identify what it will take for us to worship like the early church worshiped.
Episode Notes And there came a voice to him: βRise, Peter; kill and eat.β (Act 10:13). From all sides, we have lacked understanding in this vision. Either believing God is instructing Peter on a new diet, or we've only focused on combating what it does NOT say, missing the great depths God is trying to communicate: The unveiling of an ancient prophecy from Jeremiah and a new type of hunter God is raising!

Yeshua said: "A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand". But what if Satan also knows that, and is actively trying to divide God's people? If he cannot turn God's people into Satan's people, would he not try turning God's people against God's people? This is his war strategy, and we've been so ignorant of it.
How often do we as believers consider people as opponents when they are actually on the same team? How often do we throw people aside based off theological disagreements over our pet doctrines, while we actually believe and follow the same King Yeshua?
There are hills worth dying on. But Satan wants us to die on hills Yeshua didn't die on. Luke 9:50 But Jesus said to him, βDo not stop him, for the one who is not against you is for you.β
Episode Notes Join PD live with special guest Pastor Matthew Vander Els (Founded in Truth) as they discuss the apocalyptic texts of the Bible, and what it teaches us about preparing for the end.
When you think about preparing for the end of the world, what do you imagine? The world has its ideas, but what does the Bible say?

Do you feel imprisoned? Locked up in a bondage you canβt seem to break free from. And itβs keeping you from God. Have you let God down one too many times by now?
After denying Yeshua 3 times, later Peter found himself in a prison, crying out to God. But what will Godβs response be? It turns out more merciful than what we might expect.Episode Notes
Episode Notes Join PD with special guest Nathan Harmon as they discuss God's call for His people to respond to the current spiritual battle.
Episode Notes PD delivers a live message regarding what the Father is calling His people into in this new season.
Episode Notes The Bible, including the early church, is full of people using the gift of prophecy to direct Godβs people. But where can we find this gift today? Is its rarity by Godβs design or due to our own misunderstanding?
Episode Notes Acts 10 is usually explained by pastors as the iconic chapter releasing us from the Levitical dietary laws. But what does God Himself have to say about Peter's vision? When we read carefully, we find something many have missed in this vision, and it's so much more than about a diet!
Join PD in this episode of the Acts Series Chapter 10!

Episode Notes The greatest miracle arguably isn't a healing or deliverance, but when someone absolutely hard-hearted against God, a persecutor, a zealot, and a viscous narcissist one day, becomes an emissary of Christ the next. Immediately proclaiming the coming of Christ in the same synagogues that he previously riled up against Christ. What miracle compares with the power of God to change hearts and minds?
But what if you had a role to play in God encountering people? Stephen played this role in Paul's life, crying for God's mercy on Paul as he was being stoned. Did God hear this prayer? And what if this is the prayer He decided to answer? If so, Stephen's prayer would be one of the most influential prayers in Christian history, as Paul begins one of the most influential ministries for Christ.
Episode Notes The Book of Acts lists 8 Keys that the Early Church followed which caused them to grow exponentially, taking over whole cities with new believers. In Acts 2:47 we read that the Lord added more to their number daily. How can we get back to this kind of vibrancy and revival in our communities and fellowships? Perhaps these 8 keys can give us a clue of where to begin.
An excerpt from the Book of Acts Series
Episode Notes In this episode, we are only dealing with 1 chapter in the Book of Acts, because I believe there are various lessons in this chapter that shed light on issues in the modern church. In fact, I would like to submit to you that if the church at large read this chapter with intent, we could solve many problems.
Many of the issues avoided by the early church has become pitfalls for the modern church, and today we are going to explore a few fallacies some have fallen into.

Episode Notes In pre-Nazi Germany, Hitler took note of his audience's grievances, and like any mastermind, knew that his audience needed someone to blame. Hitler harnessed the hatred they already felt in secret, and made it socially acceptable to act on this hatred in public. Just like Adam in the Garden, we are quick to point the finger and cast blame. We are quick to find scapegoats to bear all the misplaced weight of anger or hurt that we feel.
However, ironically, when we do so, we reveal our own sinful and prideful hearts. Be careful of listening to those who play with your emotions and who make scapegoats out of others, whether friend or foe. We need to stop allowing Hitler's "Blame Game" to cause division and destruction in the Body of Messiah, and instead love like Yeshua loved.

Episode Notes When we recount the stoning of Stephen and his death as the first martyr, we think on his great sacrifice for what he believed. But even more importantly, perhaps, we should ask about his famous last words where he explains what his faith really was. Was he dying for a new religion invented by Jesus in the first century? Or was he a part of something that started in the garden - handed down to Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses - fulfilled by Jesus? Perhaps Stephen's faith was more ancient than new. More Hebrew than many would like to admit.
First Century Christianity wasn't another new religious invention, but considered a sect within Judaism in the first century. And even though deep separations exists today between Christianity & Judaism, it wasn't always that way. But if we considered our Messiah truly Hebrew, as Stephen did and died for, what would that change in how we lived out our faith? For many believers, it would radically change their faith into something more real, deep, authentic and satisfying as they return to worship in Spirit & Truth to walk as Yeshua walked. 00:00 Title Sequence 0:41 Intro: What will we be talking about? 3:21 The First Deacons Are Chosen 11:35 God Used Non-Apostles in Power 17:15 Stephen's Journey Begins: False Witnesses Raised 20:12 Christianity: A New Religion? 23:57 Resisting the Holy Spirit 38:05 Stephen's Murderers Expose Themselves 45:20 Stephen's Treatment Towards His Enemies 51:18 Does How Things Go With Us Define Us Before God?

Episode Notes "If God exists, then why is there so much evil in the world?" This is a question most, if not all of us, have encountered or even wondered at some point in time. A TikTok Atheist attempts to use this question to prove the non-existence of God. But what if this question actually proves God's existence?

Episode Notes Many believers have found their identity in a denomination, a label, or a doctrinal creed. But are you a disciple above all else, first? A disciple imitates his Rabbi, and is willing to follow in His footsteps even when it doesn't make sense. We are called to be disciples of Yeshua, but how often do we find ways to do what "we want", instead of doing what our Messiah did? How often have we fought against following certain aspects of our Messiah's walk, simply because they don't fit our personal paradigm or doctrinal understanding?
To be a disciple means to surrender what makes sense to us, to give up control of how WE think things should be done...and simply - without argument or debate - imitate Yeshua by doing the same things He did.
Yeshua began the process of bringing His Father's Kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven, and then commissioned us to continue this process up until His return as King. Will you give up control and step outside of your comfort zone so God can use you to bring His freedom and light?

Episode Notes As Yeshua's new Kingdom arrives in the early church, a few false believers cause disruption by lying; and persecutions after miracles arise. Yet in the wake of this, the church shines brightly with inspiring stories of radical generosity and regular signs and wonders.
β« A New Kingdom Has Arrived - The Acts Series (Chapter 1-2) [PODCAST] I'm excited to announce the Acts Series! In this coming series, we will be going through the entire Book of Acts! My hope is that you'll realize the same thing I did when I first studied this book seriously: When I looked at my own life, and the lives of other believers around me, something was clearly missing. The wonders, the salvations, the generosity of Acts was as from another world. A Kingdom has come upon the Earth and a nation of priests arose to continue Yeshua's mission. Instead of simply staring into heaven, they were restoring the garden upon Earth as Yeshua called them to. Join me in this series, coming soon! Realize what has felt missing!
Episode Notes Even after becoming believers, many of us still find ourselves struggling with that one sin. It holds us down, leaves us feeling ashamed, and seems outside our ability to conquer. But the Bible has a lot to say about this, and Jesus provides the solutions to freedom!
Episode Notes PD & Christina recalls an experience of casting out demons by speaking in tongues, and discusses how we can quench the Holy Spirit if we forbid spiritual gifts in our fellowships and movements.
Episode Notes Has Social Media Made Us Hypocrites? It doesn't take very long of interacting with the Internet to realize that people seem... different. More fighting, arguments, and mean words are exchanged than anywhere else. In fact, we often can't imagine some of these things uttered in the "real world." But why is it that the Internet brings out the worst in even believers? And how should we act online as believers?
Episode Notes The world teaches us to be scared of demons, that they don't exist, that it's taboo to cast them out, and that psychology has completely replaced the need to consider dealing with them spiritually. But what does the Bible say? What did Jesus do?
Episode Notes There are few things as devastating as a betrayal, an attack on the innocent, or a slanderous lie. Perhaps that is why our first desire is to often take revenge on the perpetrators. Jacobβs sons avenged their sister Dinahβs rape, but were they in the right? How are we to react when we, or someone we love, is wronged?

Episode Notes Recently, we came across a post made by a Christian. In their post, he makes an incredibly honest statement: "I feel like something BIG is missing from Christianity...and it's right in front of us. But I can't put my finger on it." Join PD and Christina as they discuss a missing puzzle piece in Christianity from the 1st Century Church, and how we can start walking more like Jesus and His disciples.
Episode Notes After churches delaying Merilynβs baptism, she sought God with tears as she didn't know where to turn to get baptized. At that moment, she received an email and soon realized we will be coming right to her hometown. And on the day, God gave her a relevant prophetic word and gifted her with His Comforter! These kinds of miracles are so beautiful, because it demonstrates God's heart towards those who cry out to Him with a humble and seeking heart.
Join us in this short video as Merilyn shares her testimony and the amazing miracle God did on her behalf!
Episode Notes A new type of Christianity is arriving in the world where truth and worship to God is flexible, everyone is saved regardless of beliefs, and where God's Spirit is in, through and for all things. But which answers will we give our children? What does the Bible say? And what did Jesus really mean by worship in Spirit & Truth? Join me as I watch and respond to a progressive pastor making these claims.
God gave Abraham the famous promise of an offspring as many as the stars. But it seems that his wife would never conceive as she grows older and older. By a miracle, she does. Their son Isaac would have the same struggle with his wife. And their son, Jacob, would have the same struggle. How could God promise a numerous offspring, yet barren women continue down the family line? Would such a promise not require fruitful women, above all else? When it comes to God's promises for our lives, we would expect all things to work together for His will. But why doesn't it? And when it seems that everything that matters most goes wrong, where will our faith go?
Episode Notes On TikTok, a Muslim evangelist is preaching that this is life is but a Test with a destination: "Hellfire or Paradise." She ends with a seemingly great solution within Islam on how to enter Paradise. But is Islam's "great solution" for salvation enough?
Episode Notes "You're not good enough"...."You've messed up too much for God to forgive you"....Β What lies have you been hearing lately?Β You were created uniquely, with a purpose and a calling, and this is a massive threat to the enemy's kingdom.Β Because of this, Satan's goal is to get you so focused on his attacks and lies that you forget who you are - your identity in Yeshua and as a son and daughter of the King. Using scripture, this video addresses and refutes 7 of the TOP lies Satan tells us. Which lie has he been telling you? It's time for freedom.
On our recent feast travels, we met many amazing people, and got asked many important questions. Such as: "Why aren't we seeing more miracles in the 21st century?", "What if we prayed, and they don't get healed, how do we deal with that?"
Episode Notes The Binding of Isaac is a strange story in the Bible. Why would God tell Abraham to offer his own son? How can a man's sacrifice be so great for God? Is this trust expected of us all? This story is a parallel containing the deepest revelations of the gospel: There is nothing we can offer God, that He hasn't gifted us first. So what will your response be to His offering?
Torah Portion: Vayera / He appeared / ΧΦ·ΧΦ΅ΦΌΧ¨ΦΈΧ
Episode Notes It is with great sadness that we think on the passing of Rob Skiba. Rob was not a teacher with whom I agreed with all the time, but he was a disciple of the same Messiah and brought many into God's Kingdom. What was especially striking to me was realizing the significance of Rob's last message to the world: It was not a message about the topics you may know him for. Rob didnβt do the message he planned to do that day, instead he allowed the Holy Spirit to do something incredible.
Could it be that the Father would like to teach us something through this about what He is asking all of us to do? To be led by His Spirit like never before.
Episode Notes We are all on the road to a promised land: A land flowing with milk and honey, a land inherited by having faith in God's promise. But while we can find it easy to believe in the promise God wants to give us, sometimes the path to the promise is riddled with fear. Can God do the required miracle? This is where our faith may fail us.
Even Abraham's faith failed him at times, but God's response is incredible: He doesn't let Abraham's unbelief come in the way of fulfilling the promise!
Torah Portion: Lech Lecha | Go forth | ΧΦΆΧΦ°ΦΎΧΦ°ΧΦΈ
Episode Notes Our world is dying of a thirst that can only be quenched by the Living Waters Jesus offered. As disciples of Jesus, we are called to take this Living Water of the Holy Spirit to the thirsty, but how can we do so unless we ourselves are filled?
Episode Notes Jesus pointed to the Days of Noah as relevant to the deceptions the world will face in the End-Times. But was there something more than on the surface? There is a prophetic message hidden in the story of Noah that teaches us about these deceptions, and how believers will escape them. It has everything to do with the Ark of the Covenant, God's Spirit and Truth!
Torah Portion: Noach | Noah | Χ ΦΉΧΦ·
Episode Notes Many of us came to faith in Jesus because we were told that this is how we escape hell and get to heaven - that's it. This is a sad truth for many who have been sold half-truths about what it really means to follow Jesus, and we are seeing many fall away because of this. Is the Gospel more than just about "getting to heaven?"
What if the Good News Jesus proclaimed is actually the announcement of something as old as time itself, a promise that goes back to the Garden of Eden, and was echoed through prophecies given to the prophets. What if the Good News is actually about the coming of God's Kingdom, here on Earth as it is in Heaven?
Check out this new teaching on the Gospel of the Kingdom!
Episode Notes Many of us came to Christ with the promise of "getting into Heaven." But what if following Christ is actually about becoming a tabernacle, spreading His Kingdom on Earth, as it is in heaven?
Episode Notes Do you want to walk more like Yeshua walked, in the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit, but are not sure where to begin?Β Do you feel like there are barriers in your life keeping you back?
Join PD in this short video as he shares an important practice that Yeshua taught His disciples, and practiced Himself, that allowed them to step out of the boat onto the crashing waves, and walk in the love, power, and authority of the Holy Spirit!
Episode Notes One of the most painful moments in many of our lives is when we discover someone we thought we could trust has spoken about us behind our back, gossiping about us to others. Perhaps this person is a stranger, or perhaps theyβre someone we knew well. When people say horrible things about us, how can we respond? How can we become undefendable?
Episode Notes The Day of Atonement is considered by many as the holiest day of the year. The one day the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies within the Temple. But on this day, procedures are peculiar. It includes the sending of a goat "to Azazel." For centuries, scholars have debated the meaning of this Azazel goat. Who does it represent? Some have said Jesus, some have even said Satan. But the answer is, neither are absolutely right. It's just not that simple.
But the answer is way more profound and way more interesting. The answer lies in the Gospel itself! Join me this Day of Atonement as we discuss the relevance of this beautiful feast to our lives today as believers.
Episode Notes Depression. Anxiety. Hopelessness. Join PD in this short story as he shares his own experience with depression and how one chance encounter changed everything. Learn how taking one step out of your comfort zone to walk in your created purpose can break the chains of depression and bring healing to your soul.
Episode Notes "I can't wait for Jesus to come back and get me." One thing is guaranteed in life: You will hear The Trumpets. "I'm ready!", you say. At the base of Mt. Sinai, Israel stood when the air was pierced with the trumpet blast of God! As they witnessed just how awesome He is, their lives ran through their minds in slow motion. They realized they were all but ready to encounter the King. They called on Moses to go up on their behalf.
But a day is coming, says the Lord, where He will meet YOU personally. No Moses, no pastor, no parent, husband or wife in between. Will you be ready? The Feast of Trumpets is all about this moment. This is your rehearsal, don't miss it!
Many of us have read the verse in Matthew 7:23, "And then will I declare to them, βI never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness." But what does this mean? For some, this has been taken to mean that those who don't yet keep the 7th day Sabbath or eat clean as they do, aren't saved.
However, is this really what this verse is saying?
We know we're not saved by keeping certain commandments in Torah (as beautiful as they are!), we are saved by grace through faith in Yeshua. What does Yeshua mean by "worker of lawlessness" and what does this mean for believers?
Join PD in this video as he answers this question.tes
Episode Notes The terrible current events in Afghanistan have shocked the world. But the fall of the country is another witness for a fundamental problem in the world that the Bible describes. A problem so great and deep in the hearts of men that no war, cultural movement, education, nor any amount of charity in of itself can solve. There are many good things we can do, but only one can solve the condition of the human heart: The Gospel of Christ.
Episode Notes The Baptism of the Holy Spirit: For some of us, mysterious, confusing and even allusive. But what is it about this baptism that is so important? There are many of us kept from everything our Father has for us because we lack understanding regarding the Holy Spirit.
Many of us have been taught we are guaranteed the baptism of the Holy Spirit the moment of salvation, or moment of water baptism. But is that what the Bible teaches? Is there something MORE in the life of Messiah you've been missing in yours?
There are so many misconceptions about the Holy Spirit, and I hope this is the beginning of answers for you.
Episode Notes Have you ever found yourself measuring yourself - your abilities, achievements, or worth - against someone else? We're all guilty of this. Yet, this subtle trap of comparison can slowly and destructively eat away at us, as we begin to view our worth through the eyes of others instead of the eyes of God.
When we become so busy looking at those around us, we inevitably stop looking up. It's time to stop believing Satan's lies and choose God's truth. You were created unique with a powerful purpose for God's Kingdom. As Yeshua said to Peter in the last chapter of John, "YOU follow me!"
Episode Notes What did Yeshua mean when he told his disciples to βpreach the Gospelβ?Β Β Do we need to βpreachβ to preach the Gospel? Yeshua did not give his disciples a complex formula of how to share the Good News of the Kingdom. So what does this look like, and how can we talk about Yeshua in our daily lives? Itβs easier than youβd think!
Episode Notes βBelieve in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture and thou shalt be saved?β Recently we were contacted by a concerned viewer who had been told that if they donβt believe in the Rapture, they will be Left Behind at the second coming! Join PD in this video as he answers this question and delves into this topic from a Biblical perspective.
Episode Notes Two years ago, Nenita came to the Freedom Reigns conference in Indiana and asked for prayer for a painful injury. Two years later, she came back to the conference to share how God had healed her two years before at the previous conference, and how He had healed her AGAIN at this conference as well!
During the conference, we also held an evangelism workshop for the youth. Afterwards, Elizabeth came forward in tears, expressing how fear and shyness had held her back from sharing the Gospel in the past. During the workshop, something changed for Elizabeth, and the Holy Spirit filled her with peace and joy at the realization that sharing her faith is not scary, itβs SIMPLE!
Episode Notes To be lawless is not only when we refuse God's instructions, it's when we misuse them. If Satan cannot make us reject God's law, his next strategy is to confuse why we're keeping it in the first place. We unknowingly lose sight of the One who gave it and His Holy Spirit.
Episode Notes This past weekend, Mike walked forward to ask for prayer, as he had before. But this time, something would be different. As he said: "God can heal me", I gently reminded him: "God can, or God will?" It's one thing to believe God can do something, but it's another to believe God would do it for someone like yourself. At that moment, everything changed for Mike, and the pain was swept from his body by the Holy Spirit. Watch this amazing story!
Episode Notes In Israel's famous deliverance from slavery and journey through the wilderness, Moses' walk concludes with an unexpected ending: He does not get to enter the promised land he worked so hard to lead Israel into. What does Moses' failure teach us about entering our promised land?

Episode Notes Christian culture has taught women to dress modestly, to not make men stumble, to be meek, but that lust is something only men seem to deal with. However, lust is a sin that not only men are faced with, but women as well. Join Christina & Krista as they react and discuss how this sin has become acceptable among many women without their realization, and how to overcome!
When we come to the knowledge of God's feast days and biblical calendar, one thing quickly becomes apparent: There are so many opinions on calendar dates! But how are we supposed to navigate this when all we're trying to do is please our Father?
In this Q&A episode, I discuss this topic alongside spiritual gifts, Romans 5:20, the quest for secret knowledge many have, preaching the gospel, and more!
Have you ever desired to have your own ministry, but didn't know where to begin? It can all seem very daunting. The truth is, we have all been called to ministry, and it's not complicated. Have our modern ideas of ministry convoluted the simplicity Yeshua modelled it to be?
Episode Notes There has been a recent season of burdens for many across the world. Join me as I talk about our great burdens, and how the Bible teaches us to deal with them, relating to this week's torah portion. All this, just in time for the day of rest! Have a wonderful shabbat!
Torah Portion: Words / Devarim
Episode Notes It has baffled me that gossip has become such an acceptable part of culture, with no distinction visible between believers and the world. We have somehow come to ignore how strongly God has dealt with gossipers, withholding the Kingdom from them. It has become our ordinary entertainment where few bat an eye, which makes it all the worse.
This sin divides and destroys. But it disguises itself as innocent. What people seem to not understand is your motive doesnβt matter, whether itβs true or not doesnβt matter, whether the person is present or not doesnβt matter. Evil speech remains evil. Yeshua laid out a protocol (Matt 18), but do you know it? Do you always follow it?
Episode Notes Here it is! We have an exciting announcement to make regarding many upcoming changes that will affect Rise on Fire (in a very good way!)
Episode Notes I had the pleasure of recently being interviewed by Jeromy from Lantern Media & Ministry regarding evangelism. Join us in this packed discussion where we talk about the state of evangelism in modern America, who it's for, why it's important and how to get started!

Episode Notes Balaam wanted something, and even though he pretended to be holy in speech, have good intent, and a desire for God's will, he only took on this appearance for his own agenda. He believed he could use God to get what he wants. While thinking, he was going to use God, God instead used Balaam. Instead of cursing Israel like Balaam desired, he ends up speaking some of the greatest blessings over Israel!
We may say we're nothing like Balaam. But how often have we twisted God's word for our own fleshly desires? Sometimes God's way is not enough for us, and try to pull every string imaginable to get past it and work Him into our own will. And when our donkey throws us off and doors are closed, we act confused! But what if God is only trying to protect us from ourselves?
Torah Portion: Balak | ΧΧΧ§
Episode Notes Have you ever thought you were following God, only to end up in a dry place? Even though you were sure you heard His voice, now you're doubting. "Did I hear wrong? Did I sin? Did God forsake me? God couldn't have possibly led me here!"
But what if what you're facing is a test: And how you respond in your next move will either yield blessing or curse for you. Will you trust God for a miracle of Living Water, even though it's dry right now? Or will you complain?
It's easy to act godly when all is going well, but it is when we are pressured that our true character is revealed. Moses, in his pressures, disobeyed God by striking the rock instead of speaking to it. But the meaning of what he did was much greater than what he himself could ever imagine. Christ was that rock that was struck throughout history, but will you be the one to speak instead?
Torah Portion: Statute | Chukat | ΧΧΧ§Χͺ
A survey by Barna-Group reports that 47% of practicing Christian millennials agree at least somewhat that it is wrong to share oneβs personal beliefs with someone of a different faith in hopes that they will one day share the same faith. This shocking statistic is a part of a larger cultural shift away from tolerance. As the world around us grows more intolerant of opinions that are different, and as people are more and more greatly offended each day by opposing views, Christians are finding it hard, and even questioning the importance of telling others about Jesus.
Evangelism is why we all believe. It is what many disciples and men of God died for. It is the reason nations like America and much of the western world has been blessed in past time. And today, we bury it as "wrong"? This calls for serious intervention: If in our spiritual circles we do not start shifting more focus to this command given by Yeshua, our children may pay the price.
This video was recorded in 2019. Some references in the video to the near-past should be interpreted as the distant past due to the time of recording.
Episode Notes What is your heartstyle? The Pharisees in Yeshua's day had a large flaw: They were "clean" in their presentation, yet their hearts were evil. This compromise of men is still very much alive today, even among believers. Has our movements of clean eating, commandment keeping believers sometimes become more focused on the outward lifestyle, neglecting the inward heartstyle?
Perhaps, instead of trying to first fix an outward appearance, we should work from the inside-out, focusing on a clean heart. We cannot do this on our own, we must rely on Holy Spirit's empowerment!
Episode Notes Are you His Bride? Will you water every camel and follow Eliezer back to a foreign land like Rebecca did for her bridegroom? It is the season for an outpouring of God's Spirit more than ever. The Holy Spirit has descended upon the Earth to gather the Bride of Christ, test her heart, adorn her, and lead her to her Bridegroom.
Many are living in the gift of Truth given at the first Pentecost; or the Gift of Spirit given at the second. But His bride will be equally yoked, and will walk in both the power of the Spirit, and discernment of the Truth.
The trumpet will soon blow, and it will become too late to be adorned for your Husband. Get ready! For He is coming!
Episode Notes This year, I got COVID! When I did, I completely lost my sense of taste, and the Father spoke to me about it. He is calling a new breed of believer: Those who will be the salt of the Earth, never losing their flavor! Are you the type of person that people want to taste like or be around, because of the attraction of the Holy Spirit? We must taste different from the world - not lukewarm or compromising - but full of love and flavor.
Episode Notes What's the real reason Jonah ran? Sometimes it's not just about running from a calling, but running from a people you don't truly want to see reached - because they're unclean, they're unrighteous and most undeserving. Jonah thought of himself as more holy, more righteous and more deserving than Nineveh. Since he saw himself as better, he decided to ignore God's call. Ironically, Jonah would end up in the same place as the sins of that unclean people.
The story of Jonah may just be the very reason many of us aren't motivated to reach the world with the gospel. The world is undeserving and unclean anyway, right? We might as well watch it burn! But alongside the story of Jonah runs a parallel story of Jesus: Where Jonah ran away, Jesus ran to. Discover the beautiful Jonah journey of Christ in this teaching.
Episode Notes Raising kids is hard as it is. And now many are falling away from the faith as they grow up. But why? While there are many reasons, and it certainly isn't always the fault of parents, sometimes it is, and sometimes the reason is apparent: Whether the gospel truly is preached and lived, or whether something else is.
Episode Notes When you study the greatest miracles of the Bible, you discover a pattern: Most of them took place between people with great disunity. Whether it's Jesus & the Samaritans, Peter & Cornelius or even the upper room of Acts 2. Holy Spirit is unifying, destroying the barriers of worldly disunity, and was sent to reverse the curse. If we're willing to go where and to whom Jesus went, we may see what Jesus saw!
Episode Notes As a teenager, PD dropped to his knees asking God for the Truth, and God opened his eyes - exposing man-made tradition and revealing truth. But as the years went on, PD realized his heart didn't have the love of Yeshua, nor did his life manifest the wonders of God he read about in the Bible. Finally, he landed on his knees again asking God for His Spirit. What would happen next would radically change PD's life forever and send him on a journey to proclaim the gospel to nations and see the miracles of God come to life!
Episode Notes I was 8 years old when God turned my life upside down. I had spent my early childhood years in a very normal, non-denominational Christian church. One day, the Father revealed to my mom that the so-called "Jewish Feast Days" were actually all pointing towards Jesus. This began our journey of surrendering everything that had previously made sense to step into the unknown. As a child, I was mostly just a passenger on this journey, and I struggled with the changes at first. But at the age of 14, as I studied to become a Bat Mitzvah, I began to see Scripture come alive in a personal and powerful way I had never experienced before. I no longer merely related to God through my parent's faith, but now through my own.
However, in my excitement to study Scripture, I slowly became prideful and puffed up in the knowledge I had accumulated...and I lost sight of Yeshua. So God had to turn my world upside down again, and teach me love, humility, and sacrifice. Only in complete surrender can God accomplish His beautiful plan for our lives, and this is my testimony.
Episode Notes The world is really good at telling us what we're NOT good at! Many of us feel we have weaknesses, weaknesses so large they're keeping us from serving God the way we want to. But as for many things in God's Kingdom, the concept of "Strengths & Weaknesses" is upside down. In God's Kingdom, your weakness has become your most prized possession. In this teaching, we'll discover why that is, and how you can be free from the bondage keeping you back.
Episode Notes Whenever we talk to others about God, one of the main questions they will ask is, why is Jesus the Way? There are hundreds of religions! What makes yours special?
Many have mistakenly believed the lie that there is no sure way to know, that there is insufficient evidence for The Way. But God has left evidence! Join me as we walk through some of the evidence God has left for us, so you may be equipped to bring Yeshua to the whole world, or, if you don't yet know Him, to discover Him anew.
Episode Notes One of the questions each of us will ask ourselves is: Does it really matter if there is a God? If He exists, should that have some impact on how I live my life? Often these questions are avoided, for it seems easier to just pretend like He doesn't exist, even if it means being intellectually dishonest with ourselves. We are sometimes led by our own motives regarding what we choose to believe, instead of what is true.
In this video, let's dive deep into the question of whether there is a God, and why it should matter to you. This is a great resource to equip you in answering the questions of those who are hesitant to consider following Yeshua.
Episode Notes The problem with the Great Commission is not that people don't know what it is, as much as that we just aren't good at doing it. Being a good witness is not easy, but it does bring freedom. In this short video, we address how to be a witness of the love of God to everyone you meet. Let it be the Great Commission of your life and not the Great Omission.
Episode Notes Not a house of great teaching, a house of great dancing, or even a house of great miracles. But a house of prayer for all nations. Likewise, Yeshua called us to become stones making up that House of Prayer. But why is it so important and what does it practically mean?
The Crucifixion story is riddled with pictures of man's need for a savior, yet the pervasive belief that we don't need one. Men have their plans, their own "messiahs", but none of it solves the true problem of separation from God. It was there where Barnabas was chosen, Judas betrayed Yeshua, and Israel took pleasure in their murder.
But this terrible story on the surface would start restoring the world to the garden that was once lost. And that fruit which Adam and Judas ate of, we would develop a disdain for as God's Spirit fills us.
Discover how the Passover's paradoxes teach us more about the beauty of God's sacrifice for humanity.
Episode Notes Multitudes of Christians are returning to the Biblical feasts such as Passover this year! But wait, is circumcision required to celebrate the feast? When we discover what the Bible says, we might also stumble into something AMAZING Yeshua said and did about celebrating this feast. Have a blessed upcoming Passover!
Is it the American Dream, or can it become a Spiritual Drought? A uniquely South African perspective on American Christianity.
Episode Notes You know the Father, you know the Son, but do you know the Holy Spirit? Join PD and Nathan as they discuss the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, and where God is taking His body today.
Episode Notes The story of Yeshua placing mud on the blind man's eyes fulfilled something that started long before the first century: God's encounter with Moses at the burning bush. Why did Yeshua place mud on the blind man's eyes? Reading between the lines, we can discover one of the reasons that teach us about His divinity & His power, especially in our weakness.
Episode Notes Women have been oppressed, taken advantage of, and even limited in Kingdom work throughout history and even into today. But setting aside worldly culture and religious tradition, what does the Bible actually teach regarding the value and role of women in ministry and gospel work? Join me and David Wilber in this lively discussion regarding God's will for women.

Episode Notes Valentines Day, Hollywood, and so many things in culture revolve around relationships. We are born, we go to school, we get a job, we marry, we get kids, we pass away one day, mission accomplished. And while this is perhaps a normal path for most, we sometimes act like it is the only acceptable path.
We even pressure those around us to get married, with good intentions. But anyone who doesn't get married naturally starts feeling something is wrong with them. Is this the only biblical way of life? Or is it OK to stay single forever?
It was OK for Jesus, it was OK for Paul. And God still calls people into that path today for the glory of His Kingdom.
Join Christina and PD as we discuss the topic of singleness for the Kingdom! Matthew 19:12 "For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.β
Episode Notes In life, numerous times we will be faced with trial. In those moments, the mind becomes a battleground and we have thoughts coming from all angles. How you audit these thoughts, and what you end up believing will lead your actions. Which Kingdom will you choose? What report will you believe?
After the world was flooded, God promised to never flood the world again and gave the rainbow as the sign of that promise. But why the rainbow?
The rainbow itself communicates the true depths and beauty of God's promise! Unlike our childhood dreams of tangible rainbows with treasures at the end of them, rainbows are just reflections of light that are perceived by the eye. Rainbows don't exist without people to look upon them.
As each person sees their "own" unique rainbow reflection (depending on the angle from which they view), so God's rainbow promise is that there will always be a remnant to look upon His promises and mercy. And that the "personal rainbow" you see, is also an individual promise to you that He will continue to have mercy on your life.
This is further proven by what God would later do for us in Yeshua: the ultimate act of mercy to restore us back to God, even though we are all undeserving.
His mercy in light of the world's sin is unfathomable! Share this video explaining God's mercy displayed in the rainbow!
Episode Notes In Luke 24:49, Yeshua prophesied that we would be "clothed with power from on high". But what does the Bible teach on how we can be "plugged in" to God's power for it to flow from our lives, to bring freedom to the world around us?
Episode Notes God expects us to "love your neighbor as yourself", but how do we do that if we don't even like them? There are people we don't like, there are enemies, there are those who do us wrong. So how do we love them when we feel no love towards them to begin with?
When we are faced with our feelings, we can be led by them away from obeying Christ. But love is so much more than the feelings Hollywood would make us believe love is limited to. Love is action.
Episode Notes Join PD & Nathan Harmon on this exclusive interview regarding what they believe the Father is doing with His Holy Spirit - to clothe His body with power from on high! But how do we follow in the steps Father ordained for us to get there?
We hope this interview blesses you!
Episode Notes What is most important? Knowing God and walking in His image and callings! Yeshua must be at the forefront of all our Biblical studies, pursuits of knowledge and lives. For far too long have we allowed ourselves to be distracted from that which He considered most important.
There are many important things, but what is most important to you? I invite you to watch this lively discussion and demonstration of unity! A group of leaders from all over the USA gathered in Oklahoma to discuss the state of believers today, and where they believe we need to gain focus.here
Episode Notes As surprising as it may sound: when God struck Egypt, He had mercy. He gave Pharaoh 10 merciful warnings of judgment. He had mercy on the cries of His people. He had mercy on the unbelief of Israel. And after delivering them, He expected them to live out that same mercy to others. But have we forgotten mercy?
God delivered us from our slaveries in Egypt, we saw His power and mercy on display. But why do we see such a lack of mercy in the lives of believers today? Can you hear the call! Our Master is coming back! And when He comes back, He will see if we had mercy on those in debt to us, our enemies and brethren alike, as He had mercy on our debts before Him.
In this teaching, discover God's mercy in Egypt, the rainbow of Revelation, and Yeshua's life. Then, we will learn how we can carry God's mercy ourselves. Torah Portion: Bo | Come | ΧΧΧ
Episode Notes The Rich Young Ruler came to Jesus with a question on the minds of many: "What can I do to inherit eternal life?" The lawyer in the story of the Good Samaritan asked the same, and Martha tried the same. But is this the right question, or does it indicate an unconscious belief that we can somehow achieve self-justification through our own works? This is perhaps one of the most common traits in all of humanity and is what every religion on Earth has come to revolve around.
However, what if the question of what we can do is the wrong question entirely. What if we are so far gone, with no hope of good works perfect enough for eternal life or relationship with God, ever? Not realizing this is the heart of pride that refuses to acknowledge the severity of our own sin. Realizing all this, the disciples asked: "What then? Who can be saved!" (Mark 10:26). God's solution, Jesus, was right in front of them. But even if we believe in the solution, sometimes the best of us still live as if there is none.
In this teaching, we will explore the 3 stories Jesus used to teach about the potential pitfalls of "religious works", distraction, our relationship with God, and eternal life. All this in The Parable of the Good Samaritan, anxious Martha & The Rich Young Ruler.
Episode Notes The cure is not your political affiliation, your knowledge of evil conspiracies, or any man-made leader or ideal. The only cure for the degenerating human condition in America and the world is the true unadulterated gospel of Christ. And your life is supposed to be the message now more than ever.
Episode Notes Perhaps the largest danger many who have come to develop a passion for knowledge and truth face is when we unconsciously start qualifying our own righteousness by our own works and knowledge.
After Satan starts accomplishing that in our hearts, he robs us of the ability to love and treat others like Yeshua would. We fool ourselves into believing we got "truth" because of what we've done, and give ourselves the credit for it only to become puffed up. Many are in search of more knowledge, but what they need more is love.
And in the next year, God is going to draw a line in the sand: Uncompromising, radical love towards all will be required of us. And it will be difficult. But didn't Yeshua throw over tables, so we can too? Yes, He did, but it's not that simple. I hope this teaching blesses you.
Episode Notes God raised me in the middle of the night to record this message. He is lowering false prophets, and raising men and women of God. A line in the sand is being drawn, with those who truly fear God on one side, and those who are casual about Him on the other. Choose which side your house will be.
In this video, we will talk about what it means to fear God and how we need to stand in unity with brothers and sisters, which also means separating from those who are actual wolves. Father is calling us all to a greater place of standing up for truth and love in the next year, for as the world grows darker and darker, we must shine brighter and brighter.
Episode Notes When Jesus ascended and handed His earthly ministry over to His disciples, He called them to build His "Church." They continued to grow the movement more rapidly than any other before it. Entire pagan cities started getting turned over to believe in the gospel! The growth, the miracles, the devotion was something many of us had never seen before. But wait, why don't we see that in the modern western church? Did something about what "Church" really means get lost over the last 2000 years? And if so, how can we ensure our churches are modeled after the early church, to see what they did? In this episode of the Early Church Series, we will discuss the greatest differences between the early and modern church. In addition, we will discuss: What does "Church" really mean? What is "Church" supposed to look like? What makes up a healthy congregation? What did the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic teach us about the modern church? What we need to know about leadership - And more!
Episode Notes A clay jar full of seeds dated to be 2 000 years old (the time of Christ) was discovered in the ruins of a palace in Israel. Against all odds, one of the seeds were planted and actually grew into an ancient palm tree. Scientists stated it "beggars belief" that this happened. As far as they knew, DNA breaks up, and does not retain its structure for 2 000 years!
But what if this incredible event was a miracle from God with a spiritual message to His people? What if the seeds of God that entered the world through Yeshua 2000 years ago are bearing fruit like never before right before our eyes today?
Episode Notes As a child, Kat was a pastorβs kid. But Katβs life turned upside down when her father decided to turn to ancestor worship and become a witchdoctor. Kat became suicidal as a teen and struggled with understanding Godβs love for her. Years later, after seeking love and fulfillment through partying and one-night-stands, she found herself sitting in an abortion clinic β alone and pregnant. It was at this moment she heard God whisper something to her.
She left the clinic, never to return, and began her journey towards finding the God who spoke to her. No matter the circumstances, God is after us. Watch this beautiful testimony - an example of how God has the power to redeem and restore anyone from the darkness.
Episode Notes In this live stream we will be talking about struggling with blasphemous 'invasive' thoughts in one's mind, having statues of Jesus in our homes, the power of the disciples, "once saved always saved", and more!
Episode Notes PART 2 IS OUT NOW: As the early church evolved and the separation between Judaism and Christianity grew... more and more lies about Jesus started spreading both within Judaism and Christianity itself.
In some circles, the true Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) from the first-century was replaced with a character fashioned after the ideals of men who were trying to make Jesus in their own image. The Messiah was now no longer Jewish, He didn't even like Jewish people, and He came to replace them with gentiles. He now also came to abolish some of God's key commandments.
These beliefs were some of the lies that were perpetrated. Sometimes with good intentions yet lack of knowledge, sometimes with bad intentions. In this episode, we will uncover historical writings to discover more of the lies about Jesus even alive today, anti-semitism in the early church fathers, replacement theology, the history of the biblical feast days and sabbath, how to be a light to our Jewish brothers and sisters, and more!

Episode Notes OUT NOW: The first episode in a multi-part series that rediscovers what the early church looked like, why some of its ways are absent in Modern Christianity, and how we can return to the walk of the first-century disciples. Judaism & Christianity today stands separated as two distinctly separate religions, but it may surprise you that this was not always the case. A gradual separation occurred from the first century as the years passed by due to various important-to-know reasons. The theological consequences were great - and not always for the better. In both Judaism & Christianity today, it can be easy to forget that Jesus was born, lived, and died as a Jew. He never came to start a brand new religion, but rather to continue the story God started with mankind from the beginning. Large parts of the world have been robbed of the true identity of the Messiah. But today, He is reaching out to restore it back again, so that the true followers of Jesus may finally drive the Jews to jealousy for their Messiah once again, just as Paul prophesied it would happen.

Something was introduced in our lifetimes, promised to unite people in a divided world: Social Media. But did it bring false promises? Today, that mandate is nothing more than pretense, and social media is becoming one of the greatest dangers of the 21st century - to both us and our impressionable children.
What if there's a bigger picture we're not seeing? What if, in the spiritual realm, the enemy (Satan) has a very real plan with this all? To shift our character, ideologies, and worldview more into his image. Let's explore this in this teaching worthy of sharing with everyone close to you.
Episode Notes Sometimes when trying to reach people with the gospel, things don't turn out the way we'd hope. God doesn't "show up" with a miracle the way we hoped, the person doesn't get as excited as we hoped, and eventually, we feel like a failure. "What did I do wrong?" we wonder.
In this teaching, we will explore 4 tips and warnings to consider when trying to be a witness of truth to the lost.
For many of us growing up, we were taught that baptism is "initiation into the church", the first symbolic step in becoming part of our denomination. But is that what scripture teaches the purpose of baptism is? Unfortunately, because of a lack of understanding and knowledge surrounding baptism in some groups, it has been robbed of its power. Let's see what scripture really says the purpose of baptism is.
Today, some are rising up stating that we cannot trust the Bible in our homes - that it has been corrupted and books have been inserted or taken out by evil men. In this short video, I'd like to discuss why I personally believe God did in fact preserve the Bible. And it has everything to do with having faith in God.
Jesus affirmed the Torah, Prophets and Psalms: βThese are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.β Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. (Luke 24:44-45)
You have heard it said that "you are the temple", but what does that really mean? A study of the tabernacle reveals that it has everything to do with your created purpose of manifesting His Kingdom on Earth in all places at all times. The veil is torn! It's time to live like it! This revelation can shake your being and change the mindset by which you live life forever.
Yeshua is coming back for an equally yoked bride - a people imitating Him. But even more specifically: He is coming back for a spotless virgin that has a light, a bride who kept herself busy waiting for her bridegroom by being a spring of living water welling up to eternal life.
In this teaching, we discover how Yeshua continuously hinted at the feast of tabernacles throughout His miracles and encounters with people - from the healing of the blind man, to the wedding of Cana, to the Samaritan woman and beyond!
We did a live stream for the day of atonement. Come join us as we repent before the King and look to Him for atonement!
Often when there is a lot of world events going on around us, we naturally tend to look most towards what we see. While important to be awake, don't get too distracted. The enemy is also busy with the things we don't see. Ask yourself, what is it the enemy's camp is up to that I DON'T SEE? The answer may be right in front of you and more obvious than you think, and it has everything to do with our children.
God is blowing the trumpet, He is calling your name. To walk as His Son in a time like this, in Spirit & Truth. This is the great awakening coming across believers today! The restoration of the model of the early church to today, the return to the root of our Faith.
Here is this year's feast of trumpets teaching. We must look up in a time like this! Have an amazing feast of trumpets!
Some of the Questions we will be talking about in this live stream:
Q1: Is Matthew 24 for Jews only? Q2: The Pre-Tribulation Rapture - A "hidden mystery" hidden exclusively in parables? Q3: In Revelation, why are there people already in the air when God comes down to pour out His wrath? Q4: Some say the Church isnβt mentioned after Revelation 4, because weβre raptured before tribulation occurs. Is this true? Q5: Did Irenaeus teach a pre-tribulation rapture in the early church?
Years ago we surrounded the television to watch the latest Hollywood movie called "Left Behind". For many Christians around the world, this was the first time where they could visualize what the end times might look like. But was it an accurate representation of what scripture teaches?
The world is a troubled place and always has been. Now more than ever people are searching for answers regarding the end of the world. So, what does the Bible really teach about the end, and especially that moment of believers being gathered to the heavens? One thing is for sure, the world WILL end, the trumpets WILL blow. But will you expect it, or be caught off guard?
We live in a world with more distractions and forms of entertainment than ever before. With that comes an ever-growing temptation to focus on lesser things, even leading to laziness and unhealthy procrastinations where we never get anything done.
Do everything (even the mundane) as unto the Lord: If God was the one who gave you every assignment, would you complete it as one who is driven, or would you allow laziness to steal your calling? The choice is yours.
Did you know the covenant God made with us through Jesus was not just about providing salvation but includes promises of financial provision? I'm not talking about the "prosperity gospel" I am talking about what it means to have a Father-Son relationship with a Father who cares more than your employer, government, or the world.
And the Bible is full of hope for those worried about the future, if only we knew where to look. God feeds sparrows, clothed lilies, and even provided coin from the fish's mouth. In this teaching we will unpack deep revelation upon revelation about God's promises of provision for us, and I share some personal testimony miracles. You don't want to miss this one!
In this live stream, I'd like to share an incredible revelation regarding God's provision, and why Jesus chose to pay the temple taxes using the coin from the fish's mouth.
God made known He will one day gather the fruit of His Kingdom from places He did not even scatter seed (Matt 25:24). While God scatters seed, it is the winds of the Holy Spirit that carry it to new unexpected places where God raises unexpected people to walk out His divine callings. The concept is simple: Some seeds take no root and die, some seeds fall on good ground and bear much fruit, some seeds grow but never bear much fruit at all. As people, we each have a Kingdom "credit score", if we use the little God entrusted to us well, He gives us much more because we are trustworthy. If we are not trustworthy with what He gave (because we do not trust God for the miracle of producing fruit in our life), the little we have will be taken away and given to another (Matt 25:29).
Walk by faith! If you stumble in your weaknesses yet know He made you with them all, how could your weakness stand in His way of using you mightily? You were made for Him. But you must trust Him.
We are in a war. A constant battle surrounds us between good and evil. Satan moves strategically to try and poke for weaknesses to get into our lives and mold us into his image. He wants to destroy the image of God we have been made in.
He is after your character: Who you are, how you act. He wants to use you as his vessel. He wants to manipulate others through you, for you to use others for your own gain, to care about yourself more than others, to be critical, jealous, angry, and hateful. God wants the opposite. But perhaps the most concerning is that Satan tries to do these things undercover without your knowledge, especially if you consider yourself a believer. Is your character being used as a vessel for good, or evil? This is a vital message for teenagers, young and older adults alike!
The law is holy and good but must be used for what it was intended for. The accuser (Satan) brings guilt, shame & condemnation through the misuse of the law even unto those who are no longer under it. What does it really mean that we are "not under the law"? Understanding the freedom from condemnation we have in Christ is essential for us to be able to walk out our wonderful and powerful God-given callings in confidence, instead of living in unworthiness to serve God, shame, and other lies of the enemy. In this short video, we discuss this freedom we can experience in Christ!
The arrival of the Internet ushered in a change in culture and the way we view and share information. Before, to become a "teacher" on the things of God you had to go out of your way to do so. Today, it's all a click away and then our words are published for the world to see. But if we teach, are we called? Should we be? Just because teaching the masses has become easier than ever before, doesn't mean we should. The Bible has strong words against the idle and careless teaching that sometimes litters our feeds. For many, they may find that their "social media life" will be their disaster at God's throne. We need to develop a greater fear of God, His Word, and understand whether He truly qualified us personally to become a teacher.
In this teaching PD details the nature of "Generational Curses" as scripture outlines it: The consequences of sin that can span generations in more ways than we realize. When God said: "The life is in the blood", He hinted at how what we live out - good or evil - will be in our blood, and what is in our blood can be carried over generations, unless the curse is broken through Yeshua.
Speaking in Tongues is one of the more mysterious spiritual gifts, and because of this, it has even been feared by some believers. Some fear that they might accidentally "curse God" or "speak from a different spirit." Paul demonstrates, it is possible to speak in tongues without having the interpretation yourself (1 Cor 14:13), so how do we walk out this gift with the peace that we do so in purity and in worship to God?
Because of these fears, the gift of tongues has been forbidden in some circles and the Holy Spirit quenched, but is this the desire of God? Is it not in the welcoming of Holy Spirit, and the practice of spiritual gifts with discernment that we can avoid evil spirits in the first place?
I hope this video answers any questions you may have regarding this gift!
In this live broadcast, we will be answering various questions sent in by listeners, including the topic of casting out demons, the mark of the beast, being a bold witness for the gospel, and more.
A video to share with your New Age friends! Another world exists outside of this one, much bigger and more influential than many realize, comprised of two kingdoms with a battle between good and evil. The Kingdom of Light is holy, pure, honest, and true. But the kingdom of darkness is continually trying to disguise itself as "good" through crafty lies to deceive man.
As witchcraft increases and is being practiced more openly than ever before, it is important for us to distinguish the light from the darkness. Many believe in so-called gods, but what are the Ways that the One True God prescribes His people to worship and honor Him by? And what are the ways of sorcery that he calls an abomination?
In this teaching, we discover the spiritual realm and the angels & demons that function therein, the various forms of witchcraft to beware of today, and how we can be an instrument of the battle for the right Kingdom.
When God sent out the 12 disciples to cast out demons, heal the sick, raise the dead and cleanse lepers, He didn't promise that it would be easy. In fact, human nature being confronted with these seemingly "impossible" instructions, even from God, can bring great fear. These instructions, while beautiful (as they bring life) can seem scary, because we are the ones they were assigned to.
This kind of instruction also isn't new. God wants the best for us, promised lands flowing with milk and honey, but sometimes a giant will stand in the way. But the question is will you give in to the fears that may come upon you when faced with that giant? Or will you trust in the promises of God? Join me in this teaching as we discover the amazing parallel's found within scripture between the 12 disciples and 12 spies; and what they teach us about giants, fear and deliverance - especially within the realm of the Great Commission.

God is calling warriors. People who are willing to be bold for His Kingdom, and who are faithful and unafraid of walking in the power of His Holy Spirit. Join me with Victor LaBarbera LIVE today at 6:00PM as we share inspiring testimonies of how God is doing this, and discuss how we enter a walk with Holy Spirit operating in our lives. If He did it before, surely He desires to do it again - even through you!
Speaker: PD Vander Westhuizen Guest Speaker: Victor LaBarbera
I am so excited to announce to you all something that has been in the works for a long time by an incredibly devoted and hard-working group of people who made this possible: the Spanish translation of the Reigniting Spirit & Truth book! βReencendiendo EspΓritu y Verdadβ is now available to all! GET IT HERE: https://www.SpiritTruthBook.com/Spanish
The recent killing of George Floyd by a police officer sparked protests and even violent riots across the United States. The god of this world (Satan) takes joy in segregation, discrimination, violence, and all expressions of hatred. While the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob takes joy in our unity, patience, and love for all people and righteousness.
Unbeknown to many, Jesus faced many of the same problems rooted in hate that we face today. There were many "flames on the rise" in the first century and Jesus chose to strategically respond to them in order to teach us how to respond to similar sins in our times. In this teaching, we will discuss the historical and cultural context of one of Jesus' most famous encounters to better understand what God expects of us these pressing times. How you act today matters in light of eternity and you may not even know it - you are being tested as His Bride, but how will you respond?
In some movements, certain, or all spiritual gifts are thrown aside as unimportant. This is a grave error and leads to a lack of power in the lives of believers, causing them to struggle to walk out the commission given by the Messiah. In this teaching, we will discuss one of the biggest reasons some are unable to powerfully walk in spiritual gifts, and how to get rid of this barrier so we may enter into walking in the gift Father has set apart for us.
Many modern believers have found themselves in a religion that has drifted from the exciting normality of the first-century church. The Holy Spirit's role was recognized as absolutely necessary in the life of every believer for them to make a valuable contribution to the Body of Christ through their own spiritual gifts. Holy Spirit didn't get a "sideline role" as we often see today but was valued to be just as important as Jesus' dwelling with men in the flesh was. This is what it is supposed to look like and why Jesus said it is "good" for Him to go and Holy Spirit to take His place in terms of the earthy presence.
John the Baptist prophesied that there will come one after him who will baptize in the Holy Spirit and Fire. What is this Holy Spirit and Fire baptism, and how does it impact our lives? You may be surprised to learn how this has a lot to do with what the Bible teaches regarding sacrifices within Jesus' priesthood, and spiritual gifts.
And once we understand the importance of spiritual gifts and sacrifice, this revelation drives us deeper in communion with Him so we may make His Holy Spirit an even more integral part of our lives than what modern-day believers may consider "normal". May the 'new normal' be that Holy Spirit gets on the forefront of our lives to empower us to be effective and powerful warriors for God's Kingdom.
Just before the crucifixion Jesus told His disciples to take swords as they were leaving for the garden. But why would Jesus instruct them to take swords, only to later correct Peter for using it as he cuts the ear of the high priests' servant? In this teaching, we will discuss this question in relation to biblical prophecy, knowing the will of God, being zealous like Peter, and the relevance of the Garden of Gethsemane to this event.
I hope this revelation blesses you as it has me!
From perhaps the beginning, Satan has tried to implant a religious spirit in our hearts - one of pride, self-seeking, and one that hates the workings of the Holy Spirit. And unfortunately, the religious spirit is hard to detect by those who have it. In this video, we will look at various attributes of the religious spirit so you may audit your heart to easily identify any of its influence in your life.
Freedom from a religious spirit will mean more of His Holy Spirit this Pentecost!
We often find that the physical observances the Father asks us to do, while important, are only the "tip of the iceberg". What He is sometimes even more interested in is the transformation of our hearts and learning of the intended spiritual lessons that come with the physical observances.
And the book of Leviticus is no different. While it has often been considered as too "weird", inapplicable or even incompatible to our modern lives. That perspective misses perhaps most of the purpose of the Levitical instructions. That is: To teach us about making sacrifices, which we ought to do for our Father even today.
In this teaching, we will uncover some of the amazing depth Leviticus teaches us regarding sacrifices and how it is applicable to our lives today.

Those who reject Paul as a False Apostle typically cite a large number of "reasons" to attempt to persuade the reader that their case is stronger. However, if their stance was correct, they would only need one: That the rest of the apostles denied Paul. But the opposite is true, and this actually becomes one of the strongest reasons for how we know Paul is a true Apostle! See the proof text discussed in this video.
We are entering an age where more and more false prophets will start arising. Last year at the feast of Sukkot in Texas, I spoke on this very idea, and we are seeing it come to fruition in 2020. These false prophets will be allowed by God to go forth to test His people, to see where their hearts are (Deut 13). These false prophets will also be used by the enemy to accomplish certain goals and deceive in certain ways. I hope this teaching edifies you in understanding the deceptions of the enemy in this season so you may defend you and your family against false and dangerous teaching.
A week ago, "Christian Truthers" released a teaching titled, "50 Reasons to Never Quote Paul Again." The video attempted to prove that Paul is a false apostle, that we should treat him as such, and throw out all his books from our Bibles.
Some people who listened to this teaching were persuaded by a few of the "arguments." This was a distressing observation, as the points raised in the teaching were incredibly weak. I joined with David Wilber (119 Ministries) to discuss this teaching in-depth as well as the real dangers of calling Paul a false apostle. Contrary to what some have suggested, this is not a light matter. This teaching is incredibly dangerous, and we explain why in this video.
May this study bless you and edify you with knowledge so that when these teachings arise again in the future, you will be prepared for it.
Jesus told us to remain childlike for a reason. Sometimes we get too "grown-up" and "mature" for our own good. We take pride in our understanding of complex theological concepts, or superb knowledge. But do we do the basics?
Could it be that we sometimes try to chew meat before we even have teeth? And then we end up going hungry because we can't truly apply what we've learned; because we don't know the basics yet. Sometimes we need milk, not solid food. What is it that you need today? I hope this short teaching will help you answer that question.
Recently I overheard an interview with a man who said that he "converted to flat earth in 3 minutes" after he heard of the theory. He stated that after all the things he's been lied to before, from things concerning his religion to other lies by the government, he can't trust anything he's been taught anymore. And for that reason, he simply concluded that this conspiracy theory is another that "must be true. ", even without further research.
And it made me think, how susceptible are we to quickly accept untried new ideas, even potentially untrue ideas, when we already have a lack of trust? As believers, we are called to pursue truth by evaluating the evidence set forth by 2 - 3 witnesses as scripture mandates. It is when we set aside this requirement to rather be led by our emotions, or potential trust issues, that we could be led astray by our own flesh. I hope this short video blesses you to think regarding how easily you accept new information, and whether you do conduct the appropriate research. Especially in a time such as this where there are so many coronavirus conspiracy theories being promoted, good or bad.
The world is captivated by the coronavirus. But thousands of years ago, God gave His yearly feast days to be kept forever. Why forever? Because He knew that as time goes on, and birth pains increase, the world will be captivated by more and more things to be afraid of. But He continuously calls His people to be captivated with His season. This is not the season of the Coronavirus! This is His.
During the Passover season, we are focused on cleansing our homes from sin. But thereafter we need to look to the next feast: The Feast of First Fruits, where Jesus was resurrected from the dead to give the Holy Spirit. Now, it's not just about getting rid of sin but keeping it out by His Holy Spirit.
This year, celebrating First Fruits will probably be more important than all the years before it for you, considering the great birth pain season we are in. Keeping this feast is God's spiritual call and preparation to ensure His "blood is on our doorpost" this year and our hearts are clean. Join PD in this teaching on celebrating the Feast of First Fruits.
For a time, many have assumed that walking in God's law is contrary to walking in the Spirit. This is because of Paul's fierce language against circumcision, which he calls a "yoke of slavery." He also says that anyone who tries to keep the law, is obligated to keep it all! So now, we must rather "walk in the Spirit" (Galatians 5:5).
But what if the idea of "circumcision" Paul is addressing was not the biblical circumcision? What if Paul has never been against keeping any of God's law (Romans 3:31), but only when we do so for the wrong reasons? And what if, walking "by the flesh" is actually when we break God's law, while walking "in the Spirit" would be keeping it?
It may sound crazy, but you will discover that this may actually be what scripture says. Join us in this episode of the Galatians series for a verse-by-verse study to see what Paul really meant, by reading his letters with us through a first-century perspective.
When Paul speaks of the story of Sarah & Hagar allegorically, some have thought that Paul is saying that anyone who tries the keep God's law, is trying to be a slave like Hagar. But this misunderstanding has come in because few truly understand the simple story of Sarah & Hagar in Scripture. When we understand what Abraham and Sarah's error was, we will be in a much better position to accurately interpret how Paul was using this famous story to teach us something very important. In this episode, we will discover Paul's writing's in the context of this old testament story.
Some of What We Talk About:
- Are those who try to keep God's law a slave like Hagar?
- "You observe days and months and seasons and years!" Is Paul against the feast days and sabbath celebrations mentioned in the Bible?
Panic has captivated the world as various plagues sweep across it. Many have criticized churches for closing, others criticized others for desiring to go out and pray for the sick. Many have been in a panic, while others take on a more careless approach. But why is all of this happening, prophetically speaking? What is the biblical response of the believer suppose to look like?
The Bible - it's stories and lessons - have clear answers to all of these timely questions. And in this video, we will unpack the current plagues in light of scripture to understand what Jesus expects of us to do at this time.
Paul famously called the Galatians "foolish" in his letter. This has often been taught to be due to their desire to follow God's law. But what if biblical and historical contexts teach us that they were foolish for starting to believe a prevalent lie circulating in the first century?
It has also often been concluded that Paul's writings regarding the law as a "schoolmaster" downplays its importance in a believer's life - that the law was only important for a little while until Christ came. Is God's law today in opposition to the life and instructions of Christ? Or is the danger more simply in what we use law the for?
Join PD & Christina in Part 2 of the Galatians Series for an in-depth discussion on this important chapter of the book.
Some of the points discussed in this episode:
- Paul's famous, yet widely misunderstood explanation of the law as our "schoolmaster"
- The Covenants of God, and how they relate with one another and to our personal walks.
- What does "keeping the whole law but failing at one point causing us to break the law", mean in relation to whether we should keep God's law?
- What it meant for the "veil to be torn" in relation to the Abrahamic Covenant.
- ...and more!
Galatians is perhaps one of the most misunderstood and hard to understand books of the Bible. Without an understanding of the 1st-century culture - it's people and the issues Paul faced, it would be impossible to fully understand what Paul is teaching. This is simply because we are reading someone else's mail - the Galatians. In this series, we will uncover the history to reveal a deeper meaning to each of Paul's verses. And I think you'll see as we begin that this information has rarely ever been taught in churches - causing a drought of understanding Paul's letters accurately.
But the Holy Spirit is bringing us back to the 1st-century church's understanding and walk. And when you read Paul's letter with new eyes, that is through Paul's own, instead of a 21st-century perspective, the scriptures will come alive and make sense like never before!
In the first episode, we will look at what exactly this dangerous "different gospel" is that Paul is going to be speaking against in the book of Galatians. It is important to understand this, because if we think Paul is speaking about something he is not, we will struggle to refine our understanding of the true gospel of Christ.
Amongst other things, we will discuss:
- History & Culture of Galatians
- The "Different Gospel"
- Does the Law Enslave?
- Circumcision in the First Century
- Why Paul Really Opposed Peter
In the midst of an outbreak such as the Coronavirus, it is easy to focus all our attention on physical preparations. But have you prepared spiritually?
A quick update on a recent announcement of spiritual attack. Thank you for your support in this season!
Hi brothers and sisters,
This is the hardest video Iβve ever done from the over 300 videos on the Rise on Fire channel.
Things have been very hard health wise and I have found myself in the wilderness. A place where I know only God can deliver me and give me nourishment.
I believe the various things that have happened to me are no coincidence, it is spiritual attack by the enemy.
I hope this video will give you clarity on the matter. Please consider me in your prayers.
Many blessings in Messiah and see you again soon! PD
Let's be honest, there's one thing about this whole "relationship with God" thing that makes us really uncomfortable: We can't control Him. And that is terrifying sometimes.
In the past, we created idols of wood and stone. They said and thought what we made them say and thought through our imaginations. But the One True Living God is not determined by our thoughts. He does what He wants, thinks what He wants; and even sees everything.
Instead of those idols we made in our image, like clay in our hands, God does the opposite. He says we are made in His Image, and we are clay in His. He is the One who would now mold us, if we do not harden our hearts against Him. And no, you don't get to tell Him how you want to be molded, other than into His Image. You also don't get to pick which parts of Him you want, and which you don't - He is not like those idols.
God is alive. If you want a dead idol like your flesh desires, go for it. But if you want God, give yourself fully over, ask Him to mold you, and don't harden your heart against Him this day.
Regarding the controversial spiritual gift of speaking in tongues, there are generally two camps of belief, which disagree with one another. The main obstacle is disagreement on what the gift practically looks like. We can agree on what happened in Acts 2, but is there more to it than that one event? Paul describes the gift in-depth, and describes it in a way that seems to indicate that the gift is more than a "sign" or "miracle" for unbelievers, but can even bring great edification to a believer's life.
Here are 3 scriptural reasons why speaking in tongues is more than just speaking in earthly languages!
A scam artist made just another call to scam his next victim. But this call would be very different. In fact, his plan to scam was turned around by God to become the call that saved his very soul. And the scam artist ended up stating he would leave his job to never scam again.
We are called to be like Jesus to people even out to "get us", betray us, or deceive us. Responding with Jesus in those situations is exactly what could save them! Watch this incredible story that includes part of the call recording.
What if I told you that the first and perhaps one of the most complete evangelistic models laid out in the Bible by God for us, is actually found in what we call the "Old Testament"? Many forget that Moses was one of the first and greatest evangelists. God gave Moses the methods, and later Jesus (Yeshua) would implement the same even more powerfully in His ministry.
So to walk as Yeshua did, we need to start at the beginning with Moses at the burning bush. There we will unravel some of the great "secrets" to walking out the Great Commission powerfully in our lives. The Holy Spirit is key. And just having the knowledge of the truth alone is not enough.
Bonus: We will also answer the mystery of why God appeared to Moses in a burning bush. It truly is a powerful revelation!

Why does it seem that I always talk about the Holy Spirit & spiritual gifts? In this video, we will talk about why we need the Holy Spirit working in our lives every single day, what it has to do with love, and what it means for our walk with Jesus as a disciple. Unfortunately, sometimes there has come a divide of what we call a "Christian" today, and what a disciple is. Somewhere along with history, things went wrong. So what would it look like to be a first-century disciple of Jesus and how does that translate to today?
As a followup to the Speaking in Tongues series, we received many awesome questions! In this teaching, I answered the most commonly asked questions we received, especially in relation to the "do's and don't's" with regards to the gift; and how to responsibly exercise it in a public setting.
Some of the questions featured:
- Is it OK to pray in tongues for a friend?
- Is it scriptural for an entire congregation to "sing in tongues" corporately?
- Can we do spiritual warfare with the gift of tongues?
- Is it scriptural to pray in tongues while praying for someone to receive the Holy Spirit?
- What is praying in tongues suppose to feel like?

God is so incredibly pure and good, that He takes the most horrible and terrifying circumstances that come about because of sin in the world; and turns it around to accomplish good. In fact, the good that He accomplishes by turning sin around is so good that it often overshadows the bad altogether.
Simply, when we are in God, He doesn't say nothing bad will ever happen to us, on the contrary, He promised persecution (Matt 10:22). But what He did promise is this: That He will never leave us.
God gives us what we call "Shalom" (peace). Shalom doesn't mean nothing bad is happening to you, it rather means you have peace despite whatever is happening because you know that He is in control even when everything feels like it's going wrong. It is the knowing faith that He is one step ahead. That is the kind of peace God gives.
And that is what God did in the story of Joseph's enslavement. He turned Joseph's dire circumstances of being sold into slavery by his brothers into the best thing that could ever happen to his family.
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. - Genesis 50:30

When we don't truly understand how much we've been forgiven, because we think we're better than we really are, we will struggle to love. Because we will think we didn't need much forgiveness and mercy, so why would anyone else? Why would we extend such mercy to others when "we didn't need it". Pride is the opposite of love, and as you'll discover in this teaching, pride is very subtle in how it strips us of love for our neighbor.
Luk 7:47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgivenβfor she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.
A new series of over 2 hours of teaching on the controversial spiritual gift of speaking in tongues. In this teaching, we will use scripture to explain the gift in a way that is practical, with testimonies to give it life, while considering what the Father desires this gift to achieve in the Body. This teaching is important because the gift has been abandoned by many because of bad experiences, inaccurate teaching, or misunderstandings of scriptures. But we hope this will bring an end to much of the confusion. Be sure to watch both PART 1 & PART 2.
PART 1 DISCUSSES: 1. The 3 goals of the gift of tongues 2. Common misunderstandings 3. Correct practice & procedures of the gift in both corporate and private environments 4. The gift of interpretation 5. Practical aspects of the gift of tongues
PART 2 DISCUSSES: 1. Sign of the baptism of the Holy Spirit 2. Counterfeit/demonic tongues 3. For who is the gift? 4. Receiving the gift 5. Testimonies of the gift

When Peter was on his boat, frustrated at the water for not bringing forth any fish that day, a stranger called out: "Throw your net to the other side of the boat, and you'll catch". Now isn't that the most ridiculous-sounding advice ever? Any good fisherman would know that it doesn't matter which side of the boat a net is tossed, it won't change the yield of fish. Yet this is exactly what Jesus said. God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong (1 Cor 1:27). We may think we are wise in our own conceit, but faith in what God says is our deliverance; even if what He says sounds foolish. So, even when what God says doesn't make sense, will you cast your net?
Some have been believers in Jesus all their life, yet still live lives lacking in what the Bible describes as love. For the believer, love is not an option, love is not a feeling. It does not compromise showing grace, nor showing truth. Love is not limited by our opinions, or the world's opinions. Love is not limited by how much we were offended or how much wrong was done to us. Love hopes, believes, is patient, humble, all while rejoicing in truth. This is what love is suppose to be. But we have drawn lines in the sand on "how much we will love" and by which conditions. But if that was the mindset of Jesus, where would that leave us? Our lack of love, at it's root, is often a misunderstanding of how much weight He truly bore on the cross. We all know the story of His crucifixion, but have you considered the depths of what He really did?
When Jesus walked up to the lost and sick, the first thing He did was to show them their treasures - their purpose, value, and most importantly His love for them. Above all else He came to them because He deeply desired to see them walk in the Freedom He has to offer. And only after all this was clearly communicated to the person, to the point of them wondering who Jesus could be, did He tell them repent of their sins. So often, the first thing we want to do is tell people to repent. While their sin may be true, our love for them often isn't, and we end up like clanging symbols doing more harm than good. We need to imitate Jesus - by walking as He did in the image and purpose God ordained for us. Others will see that and deeply desire the same. In this teaching, we will talk about how Jesus did it, our identity, and showing others theirs.
No matter how long you've been walking with God, our enemy, the devil, does not give up. He waits at the door and throws out bad reports - lies. These reports come to us masquerading as our very own thoughts, but they are not. We are tested each day to see what we trust more: The bad reports this world will bring, or the unbreakable promises of our God, who dwells in unapproachable light. Take your unclean thoughts captive, or they will take you captive.
In everything we do, we are called to glorify God. And a wedding ceremony is the ideal event to use as a witness! PD & Christina's wedding was a Hebraic themed wedding, inspired by the Biblical narrative. In this video, we share the different elements we used in our wedding, what they mean, and how you can use them to make your wedding one that glorifies God above all! Download our Ketubah as an outline for your own: http://bit.ly/32WX2kw
It's finally here! Our wedding highlight video with narration. Those of you who couldn't physically attend can have a peek into our wedding day. We had a Hebraic themed wedding inspired by the story of the Bible. Next, we will also release a teaching video where we explain the ceremony in-depth and how each element was used to point back to Yeshua and the Biblical narrative. Stay tuned for that one tomorrow!
This is one to share with your Christian friends (interview with a pastor in this video!). Halloween just ended, how was yours? I'll be honest, as being from South Africa and this being my official "first" Halloween, driving through our American neighborhood streets was a weird experience, almost like walking through the set of a horror movie. This all sparked my curiosity. So on Halloween, I drove up to a local church doing "Trunk or Treat" (a "lightened version" of Trick or Treat), and spoke to the head pastor about it. I wanted to understand their mission and motivations behind their participation in Halloween. As you will find, his motivations were interesting, but are they biblical? The big question is: How do we ensure we are a light, as Yeshua was light, while ensuring we do not celebrate or partake in darkness and sin in the process? I hope this video helps to answer that question for Christians.
So often, we think of ourselves as being responsible to pull out the tares from God's field. But the parable of the wheat & the tares told by Yeshua gives a different perspective. In this parable, the servants' first instinct was to pull out the tares as soon as they were spotted. However, the Master told them to wait lest they pull out the wheat along with the tares. Why did the master say this? And what does it teach us to do when we come across people who seem like tares in the field?
When we keep God's commandments, attend church, His feasts, do communion or whatever other religious rites, why do we do it? The heart's motivation for why we do what we do is just as important as what we actually do. Throughout scripture, we see examples of men who seemed religious and good - even so far as to be dining with the Messiah Himself, yet theyβre hearts behind their actions were wicked and they were condemned by God for it. And this is the difference between those who will see the Living Waters flow from them and those who won't. We can read the same Bibles, yet have completely different characters because we've either welcomed or quenched the Spirit. This Sukkot, would you have been qualified to enter the New Heaven & Earth through your heart of purity, or will the Father see ulterior motives when He tests it? Why do you do what you do?
Many have scratched their heads about Jesus' Parable of the Wineskins. And many have struggled to understand it for the same reason the Pharisees struggled. Ironically, the parable teaches us about why we sometimes struggle to understand the parables and things of God: When we try to grasp and explain kingdom matters with our fallen carnal minds, instead of the Spirit. "If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" (John 3:12)
The Day of Atonement is an appointed time of God that reminds us to live lives that are holy, for we will all one day stand before God and be judged for every idle word we have spoken (Matt 12:36, 2 Cor 5:10). But also, we need to be reminded that God Himself will be the Great Judge. While we are to judge matters in our life righteously (John 7:24), Jesus spoke of the pointing of the finger often: That the measure we use to judge others will be measured back to us on that day of judgment. Introspection, therefore, is needed: Have we judged others absolutely righteously, accurately, and even with the same grace and patience our Father has afforded us? If not, we may disqualify ourselves from that grace we desire and certainly need on the Great Day. "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brotherβs eye" (Matthew 7:5)
After receiving the commandments from Mount Sinai, Israel desired to keep them. But they couldn't. No matter how hard they tried they continuously failed to stay free from sin. It seemed almost as if they merely transitioned from their mindset of slavery at Egypt to slavery to sin. This needs to make us stop and think as to whether we are trying to keep the law of God still as βslavesβ and βorphansβ, or as sons? Attempting to justify ourselves by what we can do, or by what He has done? Yeshua said the son abides in His house forever, but the slave does not abide forever. In this season of the feast of trumpets, God calls us to evaluate our hearts and minds as to see whether we are truly His sons and known by Him to abide with Him forever.
All over the world, there is a restoration of God's truth happening right now. Christians are starting to keep "Jewish" feasts, but why? And how is this biblical? In this video, we will discuss the historical reasons for the divisions between believing Jews and non-jews, and the biblical reasons for why we need to reconsider what we've been taught regarding the biblical festive times of God.
Perfectionism can take place at the cost of getting things done. It can leave us starting projects we never finish, or never even start due to the fear of failure, or not being "good enough". Jesus talked about it in Matthew 25, and stresses that we cannot allow fear to rule us to the point of where we "bury our talents in the ground." Don't be ruled by perfectionism, don't be afraid of making mistakes. God doesn't expect perfection in our works, but rather simply our best try. And when we give God that, He has a promise in store: More talents!
Jesus flipped tables, called the Pharisees snakes and Peter to "get behind me Satan". Yeshua flipped tables, so naturally, that gives us permission to be as rude/unloving/arrogant as we want to anyone who disagrees with us, right? We can bash people over the head with truth and if they donβt receive it, "well that's their fault." But who is this battle against, really? See, Jesus wasn't addressing Peter when He called him Satan, He addressed Satan (whom Peter was speaking from). Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but it is Satan's mission to make us believe it is. Everything Yeshua did was out of love, love for the people who didnβt understand the way or the truth, so He came to bring them life and to show them what walking in truth and freedom looked like through His example. Only to the religious leaders who were purposefully leading others astray and seeking to promote their own gain and their authority above Godβs authority did Yeshua address in a harsher way, because thatβs what was needed. But yet, even for these, He was still willing to die on the cross for their sakes. Are you willing to die for the person who disagrees with you, or who disrespects God, and is it evident in the way you act and speak? Remember the most important commandment. As featured in Torah Portion: Phinehas / Phineas
Giving or βTithingβ today is a controversial matter. Many have been hurt in the past through prosperity teachings or betrayals and refuse to ever give again, others give a 10% βtitheβ, and others a simple offering whenever led. But what is the responsibility of believers who receive teaching/edification in their faith from a minister? And should pastors or other full-time ministers receive salaries in the first place?
We live in a culture addicted to entertainment: From the latest movie to the latest festival, the entertainment industry is now a billion-dollar industry in the world, and much of Christianity has followed suit. Churches have exchanged "controversial" sermons on holiness for short-and-sweet feel-good motivational speeches, the depth of the word for smoke machines, and persued supernatural experiences at the cost of holiness, all to draw the crowds. But what if the move of God's Spirit doesn't need to be at the price of holy living or the depth of God's amazing Word? What if our Messiah walked in radical holiness, combined with the supernatural movings of God's Spirit? And what if that's exactly the walk God is commanding today. He is getting rid of the unholy leaders throughout catholic, charismatic, protestant and all other movements alike, to make way for the One True Body He is coming back for. There is purging taking place for His Kingdom to be established. Will you hear the call to repentance to ensure your house is clean?
When Israel leaves Egypt, they rejoice in the freedom from Egypt's slavery but soon thereafter encounters something they didn't truly expect: A wilderness. No water, no food, just a desert ready to swallow them. In their minds, they only traded the curse of Egypt for the curse of the wilderness, and they complain and even rebel against God. Jesus also entered a wilderness. Even though He was free from sin and the world (Egypt), He had to walk through the wilderness. But He took 40 days instead of Israel's 40 years, and He never complained or rebelled. Throughout scripture, we see the reality of the wilderness season every man/woman of God will encounter. It's everywhere. But what are we to do when we enter it?
Feeling weak, without hope, without talent and therefore useless for the Kingdom of God? While our competitive world believes talents and skills equates to success, the Kingdom of God is upside down in this regard. Throughout scripture, we see God using people who didn't always have the necessary background or skills for jobs that they seem unqualified for. But what was God after? Humility. Skills, talents and other weaknesses can be empowered by God, but the heart of a man is the one thing God does not always own. A heart of humility is the most important attribute of a man and God cherishes it and pours grace upon grace upon it. What does it help you that you possess all knowledge and skill, yet don't have the humility that empowers you to walk out love?
Have you ever been to a store, you finished shopping, and you have everything you need to checkout. But as you approach the line, you see it extending further than you thought. But you look down upon your cart and items and decide: "What I have is important, I'm willing to wait." Do you feel like you're waiting in line for God? Throughout the scriptures, we have story upon story of characters like Joseph, Hannah and even Jesus, who waited on God. Waiting is sometimes hard, and sometimes confusing, but what you do while you wait often matters more than what you're waiting for.
I would like to ask for prayer. I and my wife has been without our home for 2 weeks (going on 3) now. After coming back from a conference a month ago, we both got sick as soon as we entered our home and remained sick for about a week thereafter. We thought it was just down to the fact that we slept at an airport the previous night and our bodies were a little weak and vulnerable. However, thereafter I started getting severe allergic reactions inside our home starting about two weeks ago. After initially thinking we have bugs, to other possibilities, after prayer the Father revealed that we have mold in our venting system (HVAC) of the home. We were soon thereafter forced out of the home for our own health and we are now living with my in-laws until the home is cleaned. As you can imagine, this is impacting my work in the ministry. So I may not be able to deliver all the teachings I wanted to deliver this week as well as next week, I apologize. I am working from where I am as much as possible, but I'm away from my workspace and computer to render videos and my laptop cannot handle it as well. We don't always know why these things happen, but we had a mold inspector at our house the rental management company had sent, who I had to let into the house to inspect it. He ended up seeing the home studio where we shoot Rise on Fire videos and asked about it. I had an opportunity to witness to him, and upon leaving he even asked the ministry name so he can look-up the teachings. If by all this God knew that this would be the only way to reach this mold inspector, then it's all worth it. Just 2 weeks ago He turned our plane around mid-flight to let us bump into a waitress whom I had to meet, and it ended up restoring her faith in God - all glory to God! So in all this, rejoice in your suffering, for you may not know what it's end and fruit may be to your own life, or even the lives of those around you. Rom 5:3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Please pray for our house to be cleaned up soon. It has been a slow process with our home management company and we hope to be moving back in soon so we can continue with the work He has prepared for us. Many blessings! PD
Sometimes we pray, and God doesn't heal. But why? Scripture and the walk of Jesus Himself teaches us various reasons for why people are sick, and perhaps why they may not get healed immediately upon being prayed for. Here are 4 of those reasons.
When I was a teenager, I started reading conspiracy theories, it became a passion. I was spending much of my time on researching the next big thing, and as a Christian, I was convinced that I would be able to use my "revelations" to show people the deceptions of the world and thereby lead them to Christ. But then I realized, I was not effective for the Kingdom, I was not really doing what Yeshua did, even though I tried convincing myself and others otherwise. I was only effective in telling people about deceptions going around and the βtruthsβ surrounding them. My treasure wasn't God and spreading the Gospel of His Kingdom. My treasure was in conspiracy theories and other knowledge. Where is your treasure?
When I met Christina, she couldnβt pronounce my surname. I was from another culture, another language, and my name was almost impossible for her American tongue to figure out at first. Should that have offended me? Of course not! Yet why do we think our perfect Father is offended when we struggle to say His name in the correct spelling or pronunciation? Many have gone as far as to say that if we pronounce His name wrong, He won't hear or answer our prayers. There are various pronunciations that have been adopted for His name, even our current pronunciations might be slightly off as scholars disagree all the time, but the name we do know we should honor, especially through our actions. The reality is, God is more merciful and understanding than any man could ever even be. He is more concerned with whether we represent His name well than whether we can pronounce and spell it perfectly well.
Marriage is hard. And sometimes it becomes really hard. But it shouldn't be a surprise, Satan is after marriages - for if the marriage fails, it takes a house down with it. Marriage is also hard because it involves two different individuals becoming one flesh. No matter the reason for the struggles of marriage, how we deal with them is something everyone who marries will need to face and it comes down to this: Will we "love like the world" only as long as the person loves us back (and in the same amount), or will we love like Jesus, even when the partner doesn't love us all the ways we desire? Christ has suffered all we could ever suffer (Hebrews 4:15). Even though He was never married in the flesh, God experienced the same pains when His Bride has sinned or fallen away even temporarily. Yet Christ overcame and loved us to the end. Will we love like He did, in a love that is sacrificial, merciful and kind? We need the kind of love that draws others to repentance as He did us. John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
In our western, capitalist mindsets, those in full-time ministry have adopted the world's ways of doing business to start charging for the gospel - making it inaccessible to those unable to pay. What has happened? Would Yeshua have put a paywall in front of His revelations, teachings, and deliverance? So why do we? Isn't it disturbing that we have fallen this far into what is now considered a "normal" way of doing ministry. Freely you have received, now freely give. God is calling ministers out to separate themselves from the world and be an example to the sheep, to actually trust in the Master who pays His laborers their wages. If we continue to trust in our devices and models of doing ministry instead of what our Messiah clearly laid out in scripture, our ministries will be robbed of blessings - and even worse, we will have to give an account on judgment day (the day teachers will be judged more strictly on).
Are you so zealous for God that you would be willing to lay everything down for the sake of His righteousness to prevail? When no says anything nor does anything about the evil, the evil prevails. Turning a blind eye is participation if you have the power to put an end to the evil around you. Evil prospers in the world due to believers too involved in the world to speak up, for various reasons: Either the evil profits them, or they are afraid of what might happen to them if they blew the whistle on evil. Ultimately, they lift their own life above seeing God's Kingdom come on Earth. This is why Jesus chased out the moneychangers from the temple with whips. This is why Jesus cursed the fig tree. This is why Phineas pierced a man and woman in idolatry with a spear. And all these were righteous acts, even though they may seem "radical" or strange. And this is why our Messiah (and later His disciples) gave their lives: To put an end to the evil, and to let His Kingdom come and prevail. Torah Portion: Pinchas | Phinehas / Phineas | Χ€Χ ΧΧ‘
We don't always understand why we get sick, or why suffering comes across our paths. Just last weekend after a fruitful time at a conference with many healed, we came down with the flu. How do we explain praying for the sick, when we can't even "take ourselves down from the cross"? Yes, God could have stopped it all and taken Yeshua off the cross in the midst of it, but He didn't - for there was a purpose for His suffering. In fact, His suffering and ultimate death on the cross became the best thing that has ever happened to the world. What if when we walk as He did and remain in covenant with Him, our suffering yields the same fruit? What if our suffering, instead of it being without purpose, can bring glory to the Kingdom of God if we yield ourselves into His hands. He never said this walk would be easy, in fact, He said we would suffer the same things He did. Therefore we rejoice in our suffering and pray for it to change lives in the most mysterious ways only God can work. This is a story of how our seemingly "bad situation" at an airport last weekend got turned around to become life-changing events for people around us.
The hardest commandment ever given to man is a commandment given to men. In Ephesians 5, men are instructed to love their wives "as Christ loves the church". The disunity in marriages is a primary reason for the disparity and suffering in the world, and even in Christian fellowships. As men, we have often failed this commandment to love radically, and so we have failed to be a picture of the world of Christ and His Bride. This is the hardest commandment, and this is how to love as Yeshua loved.
We saw great miracles this past weekend at the Freedom Reigns - Men's Conference, and here is some of it. God is pouring His Spirit upon His people!
What is true faith? We may understand that our walk with Jesus means that we make changes in our lives to reflect the lifestyle He asked of us to have - to stop sinning. But does it stop there? Why so often do we disconnect the notion that faith is action from spiritual giftings? We say we believe God desires us to speak in tongues, yet never open our mouths to speak. We say we believe God desires us to pray for the sick, yet never lay our hands to pray. Do we truly believe? Because our actions will prove if we do. And if you feel like you don't have faith, be bold and step out! Your actions will build it.
Sometimes I wonder, don't we often get so caught up in the latest piece of "knowledge" that is floating around, or winning the next theological debate, that we miss the person on the street on the way to the next conference? While Jesus certainly knew scripture, and we must know scripture well - He applied scripture. The knowledge that goes unapplied leavens and puffs up, but Jesus calls up to be unleavened, thereby applying the knowledge He reveals to us. He didn't just give you the knowledge and intellect to have a Bible study with others who are just as smart as you, He gave it so you may set others free with it, especially the audience He was among most often - the poor, blind, and sick of this world.
Acts 15's meeting of the Jerusalem council is often used to explain that Christians/non-Jews are not required to keep the law of God. But rather only a few commandments. That Jesus has come to fulfill the law so we don't need to, and the laws given by God in the old testament are completely abolished; and if we are to keep them, we are to bring Jesus' sacrifice to naught. Was this the conclusion of the Apostles? If so, why were they giving commandments of Leviticus at the same meeting to gentiles, even "abolished" dietary laws? And why were they encouraging gentiles to attend synagogues where the law was taught? Acts 15 is extremely misunderstood by many. I hope this brings clarity.
What is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Many have said it is simply the act of denying Jesus as Messiah, denying the law of God, or that we cannot commit this unforgivable sin anymore because Jesus no longer walks the Earth. But is that it? Since this sin is described as being among the most serious in all of scripture, surely it deserves a second, yet balanced look. Understanding the context of Jesus' teaching regarding this (His encounter with the Pharisees) gives clarity, where the Pharisees call the works of the Holy Spirit, that of a demon. But later, the disciples have a similar encounter and call Jesus walking on water, a "ghost". What is the difference then? There are only two kingdoms, you either gather or scatter abroad and those whom He has gathered, will not commit this sin. This is a redone video to better explain this topic. While my position regarding the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit hasnβt changed, in this video I will not only explain what it is; but also answer some questions that were asked on the previous video. Many came to the previous video hoping to understand whether they have themselves blasphemed the Holy Spirit. I do not wish anyone to mistakenly diagnose themselves as having blasphemed the Holy Spirit when in reality they have not and thereby feel separated from God. And so I attempted to help those with this burning question come to an answer that is biblical and balanced.
When Jesus came, it wasn't just about gathering a crowd, He came to make disciples. Men as warriors who will not only follow Him but continue His mission of fighting the war against the Kingdom of darkness that continues today. God calls us all to be warriors for Him - to set the captives free and be a light to the nations. But we are part of an army unlike any other army of this world. All the other armies need to pick up their own weapons and fight their own fights. Our God fights for us. We only need to show up and have faith. From the fall of the walls of Jericho to the splitting of the sea, our God fights for us and makes our enemies flee. Torah Portion: Beha'alotcha | When you set up | ΧΧΧ’ΧΧΧͺΧ
Darrell came to the WayWalk conference, where God drew Him for a purpose: Darrell was about to have 3 days of witnessing God heal his body radically and instantly in multiple ways - over and over again. This is a beautiful story and testimony you don't want to miss hearing. Testimony shared by: Darrell Lee
It has started. This past week we witnessed an outpouring of His Spirit at a conference, and I believe this past feast of Pentecost is the "marker" of a new season on God's calendar, where He will restore the second part of His Spirit & Truth promise: The pouring out of His Spirit. John 4:23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.
Recently Christina and I put out a video on preparing for marriage. We were asked whether we don't think we are too "inexperienced" to teach on such a matter? This is a great question worth addressing. God desires us to be childlike to be fit for the Kingdom: That means being humble after the likeness of a child. Children don't care who they are learning from, they just want to learn. They learn from parents or even other children. Children aren't afraid of making mistakes. God wants us to be childlike because then we are humble enough to enter the Kingdom, for pride creates an unteachable spirit unable to be transformed into the likeness of Christ. But how can we learn from a child, or someone younger if they lack experience? We must be open to the fact that God often chooses the unqualified to deliver messages out of their own league, but they are empowered by the Holy Spirit. Think Moses. Think the prophets of old. Think Noah. If God can use someone the world would never expect, couldn't He also use a child? Of course! And we must ensure our hearts are humble enough to be able to receive instruction or wisdom even from a child when the Holy Spirit speaks through them.
We all desire blessing. No matter who you are, what you believe, what your heart is, it doesn't change the fact that we all ultimately desire a life full of blessing. The world is full of stress, fear, disappointment, offense and hurt. Effectively navigating the evils of life can seem like an impossible task, because it is. Without God, we can do nothing. And the sooner we recognize it, the sooner we can submit ourselves to Him and His will, to let Him carry the burden and take the control. For Him to set us free when we're pushed to our limit. You were never meant to carry this alone, and if you try it will bring everything BUT a blessing. Want a blessed life? Give your life and all control to the One True God from which all that is blessed comes from. Living a life of blessing doesn't just mean we accept Jesus into our heart, He must rule it. Torah Portion: Bechukotai | In my statutes | ΧΧΧ§ΧΧͺΧ
Once a year, God calls His people to count the 50 days between Passover and Pentecost. But why? He desires us to be reminded each year of what the disciples counted down to while in Jerusalem: The outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Each year He desires us to conduct introspection to see whether we live a Holy Spirit-filled life, or one that lacks the fruits, boldness, and power that the Holy Spirit brings. Paul said that he didn't come with the wisdom of men, but rather the empowerment of the Spirit. If Paul felt like he couldn't preach or do anything without the Spirit, we should also yearn for God's Spirit like our life depends on it - because it does. If we desire to walk as Yeshua walked in love, power, signs and wonders, and wisdom - we will never be able to without the Holy Spirit. Let us seek the filling of the Spirit in this season! Like a man who knocks until a door is opened, even if it means being persistent.

How do you view God? And do you view Him the same way the disciples did 2000 years ago? Do you view Him the same way Moses did? And do you view Him the same way Jesus did? Either they all viewed God differently because God changed over time, or God never changed and all they all viewed Him the same. The way you perceive God will impact the way you live your life. Maybe you grew up in a church where God was proclaimed as an angry God always out to get you. Or maybe you grew in a church where God is a gracious and loving God that doesn't require holiness nor repentance; and never executes judgment. Reading the old and new testaments, it can sometimes seem like God's character has changed as we travel from the front of the book, with God's judgments, to the back, with God's grace revealed through His Son. So when Jesus came, did something change? Did God soften up to executing judgment, to rather love us and not judge? What is God's true character? Torah Portion: Emor | Say | ΧΧΧΧ¨
So you think they are "the one", but how do you know? In the midst of the feelings, emotions, dreams and other confirmations, discerning whether someone is the one God has set-apart for you can become more difficult than it seems. A marriage is a combination of both the good and bad of two people. But at what point does the "bad" become the deal breaker? Or at what point does the "good" become the confirmation that they are the one? Manipulative spirits, secret sins, confusion, playing games, and many other red flags are important to watch out for. In this video PD & Christina discusses 13 important tests to ask yourself for determining whether someone is truly "The One" before entering marriage.
Just as how God meticulously instructed Israel specific procedures on how to and where to make their offerings, so God expects us to offer our living offering. Our reasonable worship to God is to be done how He specified. It doesn't matter how sincere we may be in doing something for God if we are not following His instructions on how to live and make our living sacrifice, whose instructions are we truly following, and what god do we serve? We can easily start serving the god of self, to lift our aspirations and desires high above, thinking that our ideas will please God without ever considering that He gave His ideas in His Word, and expects us to follow them. For any other worship unto Him will be in vain, even if our hearts are sincere. Yes, God knows our hearts, and the Bible says our hearts are "deceitfully wicked, who can understand it?" (Jer 17:9) God searches the hearts and deeds, to see whether we have a heart after following His commands and ways of worship, or the commandments of another god. Don't say one thing and do another brothers/sisters, for the whole world is watching. If you say you are a disciple of Yeshua, act like one in the ways He prescribed. For that is what is our reasonable worship unto Him. In this Torah Portion, we will talk about how to have a living offering pleasing to God, and how Yeshua was simultaneously perfect, yet while having had the sins of the world placed upon Him, fulfilling the two goats of the Day of Atonement. Torah Portion: Leviticus 16:1 - 18:30 | After The Death | ACHAREI MOT | ΧΧΧ¨Χ ΧΧΧͺ
Some have said Jesus is not the true Messiah sent by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but a character of Roman Catholic Church invention that teaches something different from the true Hebrew Messiah, Yeshua. In this video, we will evaluate why some have come to this conclusion and whether this is a scripturally sound concept to believe and in line with the fruits of the Spirit.
I don't know about you, but I'm more afraid of the sin in me I don't see, than the one I can see and face. I don't want to come to God one day and have Him point out things that I deemed innocent, yet was an offense to Him. It's easy to get so focused on cleansing our "big sins" this Passover, that we forget to ask God to show the more "innocent" looking sins. Passover is a season of repentance, but in this teaching, I'll show you how God is after a specific type of sin most this Passover, and it's not the one most obvious.
Everything in our lives is supposed to have a primary objective of glorifying and building Godβs Kingdom. Whatever it is we do or pursue, whether marriage, having children, buying a house, moving to this or that place, or whatever β God and His Kingdom must be considered in our decisions, but not only considered, given top priority. We should not enter the marriage covenant lightly, or with a primary objective of simply being happy or living the βAmerican Dreamβ, while some of these things can be very good, and marriage is supposed to be encircled with happiness, God has designed marriage to be much more than that. Marriage is supposed to above all else glorify Godβs Kingdom, and if it does not accomplish that then we will never be able to fulfill the callings God has given us as individuals β and therefore will have failed Godβs calling to have a marriage that is not only lasting and full of joy and happiness, but one that is meaningful & fruitful for the Kingdom. What good would it be to come to His throne one day, being able to say that we have been able to stay together as long as we lived, yet we only stayed together for our aspirations, our desires, our comfortability, instead of lifting His Kingdom above ours and considering His calling - even if that calling is harder or uncomfortable, or not exactly the American Dream we had in mind.
Have you ever heard of a strong Christian, who's fire went out? Or even worse, a once 'believer' who fell away completely. Like Judas who dwelled with Jesus: Ate with him, slept with him, arose in the morning to walk through the streets of Jerusalem with Him - yet betrayed Him. The mere fact that it is possible for us to betray Messiah in the way that Judas did, calls for examination. And that examination has been given to us by Father in the form of Passover. But Judas kept the commandments and feasts, kept Passover - he managed to keep it all religiously while having an unchanged heart. The sin of Judas is still around today: Some have an outward appearance of religion, yet lack the power and love. And at the communion taken at the 'Last Supper', Judas partook unworthily and received the great judgment. Will you be different from Judas by doing this Passover differently? Not only by mere physical observations and going through motions but by examining your heart and asking Father to show the leaven hidden even in the deepest closets of your heart. God calls His people to reconsider this Passover deeper and more seriously than all before it.
Men, God calls you to be a man. But it looks different from what the world considers a "real man." We live in a culture that teaches men to be cowards. A culture where men are encouraged and considered "strong" when they go to hang out at a bar with friends every night, instead of coming home to a family. Or to date the same girl for years and years and years on end without ever putting a ring on her finger. In reality, this world teaches men to be boys, and many boys never grow up to become men. Do you want to be a real man? Feed the poor, come home to care for your wife and family, be loyal and honest, love them radically in action, give your life to God so He can use your life for His Kingdom of Light. Being a man isn't about being good with boys but a stranger to your wife, it's about taking responsibility instead of avoiding it and focusing on what God has given you to steward.
We're married! And what a journey it was⦠The past year the Father has brought us through various red sea crossings and challenges where everything was about to go completely wrong unless He came through at the last moment. And He did come through, every single time. Christina and I would like to share some of that with you, how God makes promises, builds trust, and why we rejoice in these tribulations.
Studies show that couples who spend more on their wedding ceremony and engagement ring are at a higher risk of divorce later in the marriage, compared to couples who spent less extravagantly on their wedding. But why? Similar to some couples who may be marrying for status, wealth, the show of a big ceremony, or the outward appearances - many think they can be a bride who marries God for the same reasons. Many go to church every week, keep every festival, attend every bible study, every conference, and from the outside, their relationship with God appears to be beautiful. Yet they were doing it all for show and the approval of fellow churchmen instead of for the sake of their intimacy with God. While men can be fooled, God will not be, and will not marry a bride only in it for appearances. He is looking for a bride equally yoked, in love with her Bridegroom, who will never compromise.
A rabbi walks through the streets of Jerusalem. As he walks to the feast, all the men and women stare and call on him: "Rabbi! Rabbi!" As he gets there, he continues to the uppermost room. Everyone stares, everyone says: "Rabbi! You are here!" And he loves to be called Rabbi. Jesus saw this over and over again, these men knew and taught the word and were highly respected. Now there's nothing wrong with respect, but they loved to be called "master", "teacher", "esteemed one", "mighty one". They loved exaltation - sometimes even to the point of being exalted like a god - where their word was like the Word of God. In Matthew 23, Jesus warns His disciples to be wary about this doing of some Pharisees, and instead tells them to call each other "brothers." Can we call others by a title such as rabbi, prophet, apostle, etc? What was the point Jesus was really trying to make? Mat 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

God has called us to spread the truth He has revealed to us. But sometimes it's hard, sometimes people don't listen, and sometimes it feels like it's all in vain and we'll never be "skilled enough" to see many come to Christ. But Jesus told a parable to His disciples that showed them that similar to how we water & plant a tree, yet aren't the ones to actually make it grow, we are called to plant and water seeds in people, yet it is God who ultimately brings the increase. This means it's not as much about your eloquent speech or "skill" as it is about doing your duty of watering and planting and seeing God do what He does best: to bring the increase. Almost every single parable Jesus ever told had to do with the great commission. He could have spoken about many things, but over and over He chose to spoke about this Kingdom life we are supposed to live - fearlessly, boldly and continually.

Hi guys! I've landed in the USA! A big thank you to everyone who has lifted my immigration and wedding plans up to Father in prayer the last year, as well as support the ministry through it all. I'm getting settled in on this side to get everything prepared for the new season. Here is a quick video update on the immigration journey, ministry, and my upcoming wedding.
Why does Africa struggle? While each country has its problems, few have the developmental problems the giant African continent faces. Africa is one of the richest continents in the world in precious metals and other resources - it has everything it needs to prosper - but why are large portions of this continent so often left behind in poverty, crime, war, corruption, racism and many other evils? As with all things in life, the root reason is spiritual; and here is why Africa is still struggling.
To marry, and whom we marry is the biggest decision in life next to deciding to follow Christ. Yet often this decision is rushed into by people who aren't both completely "sold out" to God. The marriage will seem fine at first, but soon things start crumbling. We then throw our hands to God and ask "why", yet we married someone who never truly died to themselves. Marriage is supposed to have a primary purpose of glorifying God. It's not primarily about you, your spouse, house or kids. It's supposed to be about Him. And if both individuals aren't on fire for Him, He simply won't come first. A marriage that doesn't put Him first, is a marriage based on the things of this world, a marriage that will suffer at the hand of lukewarmness and unbelief.
After multiplying the bread and fishes, Yeshua says something controversial: That Moses did NOT give them the bread from heaven, but rather it is the Father who brings forth bread from Heaven. This teaching was so controversial that much of the crowds left His audience. It can become so easy for us to get fixated on the bread that God gives to temporarily satisfy, that we miss what the bread is actually pointing to. These people were dependent on the manna from Moses to save them, yet Yeshua said their ancestors partook in that manna and still died in the wilderness! God calls us to look upon the true bread that He has provided, the true bread from heaven that everything else points to. If we worship the shadow instead of the substance it points to, we will likewise die in our wilderness - and that substance is Yeshua - not the laws of Moses.
Haven't you heard? The end of the world is approaching yet again. As we enter the new year, the Internet is rumoured with signs of the end. But what does the Bible really teach surrounding this? What are the authentic signs we need to look out for to anticipate Jesus' return? If we do not know scripture and prophecy, we will be deceived by rumours. And if you knew scripture, you would know that it is simply impossible for Jesus to come back this year. God has written His bride a love letter in anticipation of His return. And while we will not know the day or the hour, we who live in the light will know the season (1 Thess 5:4). Here is how we know that season, and 4 reasons He cannot come back in 2019.
Letβs be real for a moment. Praying for people, reading our bibles, doing βspiritualβ things isnβt always fun. In fact, sometimes thereβs a lot of other things I feel like Iβd rather do. But what do we do with this feeling? And what does this feeling tell us about our relationship with God? I would like to submit to you,: if you always only did everything you do for God for the excitement or fun nature thereof, then God has become nothing more than a hobby to you instead of your lifestyle. We need to test ourselves to see where our heart really lies, and whether it is truly sold for Him.
Whether it is the New Age, Paganism, Witchcraft, Yoga, Ouija Boards, Tarot Cards or consulting the dead - witchcraft is more diverse than ever before and is being accepted into the mainstream culture more and more every day, even into various churches. This is the story of a girl who travelled far and wide to receive freedom from evil spirits that have been oppressing her entire life after her deep involvement in various kinds of witchcraft. After seeking to get rid of evil spirits with other forms of witchcraft, she came to a dead end and realized Jesus is her only way out. What God did for her would be something no other witch doctor could match and would change her life forever.
The Pharisees often came against Jesus, telling Him that He is doing what is unlawful to do on the Sabbath. At first glance, it seemed like He continuously had no regard for this law. And this belief is evident in much of Christianity, where this 4th commandment has become a mere decoration on our tablets of the ten. But did Jesus really break the Sabbath? Or is there a grave misunderstanding that has come about and caused great deception? The most concerning of all is that if our Messiah truly broke this commandment, it would mean He had sin, for sin is the transgression of the law. I would like to submit, He was teaching something so deep, that it has flown over the heads of many - He has been trying to teach us the spirit of the law. Instead of teaching, it is abolished, He was actually teaching how to keep it properly.
We have entered a new age of information at our fingertips like never before. But how can we sift through all the information, topics, and entertainment without falling into focussing on the things Yeshua would have never focussed on? Are we in danger of creating idols out of our favourite topics and being distracted from the most important things? For example, there is nothing wrong with investigating conspiracies or being a film fan, but when it consumes everything we think and talk about, have we gone too far? In this show, PD Vander Westhuizen joins Jake Grant for a live discussion on the new idol of this modern age.
Yeshua spoke of a greatest and least in the heavens in Matthew 5, but who are the "greatest"? Yeshua raised the standard of the law, by giving it meaning, filling it up with love, and walking it out properly for us to see. But did He come to throw away the foundational laws of His Father of which He raised the standard on? You see, Yeshua cannot teach that we may not look at a woman with lust because that is adultery in the heart, yet condone the physical act of adultery. Itβs obvious, right? Yet many have taught that He came to do away with much of the foundation (law) of His Father and that we are now left with a "law on the heart" that may be different from the original law of God. We do indeed now have the law written on our hearts - but what does that truly mean according to scripture? And what is that law? These are important questions because we show our love to Father by our obedience to the covenant vows He wrote on our hearts when we said "Yes" to follow Him. Torah Portion: Yitro | Jethro | ΧΧͺΧ¨Χ
Lene had an interesting journey with tattoos. After initially seeking to express who she was through getting a tattoo, she later realised it's no longer who she is after Christ came to change her from the inside out. Her new identity was brand new! It didn't need any accessory to tell the world who she was, for He who now lives in her shined brightly of His glory. And while our flesh can still take delight in the things of the world, we need to decide who we will follow - the guiding of the Spirit or desires of the flesh? Lene chose the Holy Spirit. CAN CHRISTIANS GET TATTOOS? - What the Bible Says https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p1SmKmjYK0
God is always one step ahead of the enemy's plans, He is never caught off guard nor surprised. In the direst situations we can face, where it seems like there is no way out, that Godβs promises are about to fail, and that He has forsaken us, God splits the sea and comes through at the very last moment. For at that moment, we realise that it could be nothing but God. He gets the glory and fame, and we are built in faith and character. When you face trials, rejoice! For without them, no man will see God. Torah Portion: Beshalach | When he sent | ΧΧ©ΧΧ
Tattoos are controversial. In the past, tattoos were always associated with crime, pagans, and evil. But today tattoos have become more acceptable in our culture, and have often even been encouraged by certain church cultures. But what does the Bible really teach about tattoos and what does God think about it?
Often in our journeys with God, we can fall into shame, guilt and condemnation when we don't feel like we are "good enough" or "doing enough" for God. Satan takes the opportunity to lie to us, and we listen to the wrong voice. This can be dire, for this shame actually makes us more passive for His Kingdom than anything else. But if you better understand God's character, you'll better understand what He thinks of you. The God who knows every hair on your head is on your side! For you, it all begins with a sacrificial heart unto God and then letting Him work in you. But He can't change your heart if you don't give it to Him - fully this time.
The first thing God commanded Israel to ever do is to celebrate a festival as their first point of departure and set-apartness from Egypt. To eat a perfect lamb, and to share that lamb with their neighbour. Today God is presenting an end days repeat of Passover, where we are to partake in the perfect Lamb of God and to share that lamb with our neighbour. It has always been about ensuring that all with a clean heart has the knowledge to paint their doorposts with His blood. Are you prepared for the end times Passover exile everything points to? It wasn't enough to take Israel out of Egypt, God needed to take Egypt out of Israel. It is not enough to remove ourselves from the world, we need to let God remove the world from our hearts too. Torah Portion: Bo | Come | ΧΧΧ
The common process today for getting baptized is asking a pastor, joining a class, having your name put on a list, and then waiting for the next "baptism church service". But is this biblical? What does the scripture say regarding the process of baptism? You may be surprised to see it addresses this very issue of delaying baptism and takes it very seriously. Why do you wait? Rise on be baptized, today.
While we go to church for the next sermon, to the next worship event, the next evangelist speaker - while we go through the motions, we often forget an important group Jesus was sent to: The lost sheep of Israel. Paul prophesied that Christianity is to "provoke the jew to jealousy" and that it is an essential piece to the puzzle for Jesus' return. But are we as believers in the Messiah succeeding in this? Why do our non-believing Jewish brothers not want Him? Why are they blinded? Could it be that we have failed to represent Him in a way that is attractive to them? If you are a believer, you are sent to Israel. The revival has started already, but will you pick up your cross and be a witness of Spirit & Truth to Judah?
Baptizing someone can be an intimidating part of the gospel to do when doing it for the first time, but it is simple - and the Holy Spirit is your teacher! Here are 6 steps on how to baptize someone.
One of the most hotly debated topics around baptism is which name or names to use when conducting it. Many have even gone back to get rebaptized in a different name from before because they believe their baptism wasn't authentic when doing it the first time under a certain name. Most of this confusion stems from the scriptures being inconsistent in how baptisms were done. Jesus told us to baptize in the "Father, Son and Holy Spirit", while the disciples simply baptized others into the "Name of Jesus/Yeshua" So what is the truth? What name should we use when baptising others, or getting baptized?
I would like to share with you my journey into full-time ministry with some tips for those who may desire to do the same, as well as an update on where we are with my US immigration. We would greatly appreciate your prayers.
What is it that causes God to pour out the firstborn blessing on a secondborn child? What moves God to elect someone for His glory? Many believe it's up to random chance, but Jesus told us what causes God to bless. It's not how well you speak, who your father is, how rich or poor you are, or where you grew up. It's something much more significant. God prefers to use those of a certain character, even sometimes those who are lost and weak. So we need to ask ourselves what is the character God delights in? And "is my character one that God delights in?" Torah Portion: Vayechi | He lived | ΧΧΧΧ
Many want to do "full-time ministry" and it's considered a dream by many. But did you know that the Bible calls this the most dangerous job in the world? For reasons that may not be obvious, it truly is. And many run into seminary or an eldership role before understanding what they are getting themselves into or without being called by God to do so. If you do not enter this role with fear and trembling, you may find yourself being judged way more strictly as written in James. Think twice before you go full-time ministry.
One of the first questions asked when we realize that we need to be obedient to the whole Bible is: "Doesn't the Bible say men are not allowed to ever cut their beards (Leviticus 19)?" Should men have long beards? Or are they allowed to shave? Let's address the question in this short teaching on beards in the Bible.
Religious observance is not the relationship. Does your relationship with God stretch past the keeping of a command, attendance of a festival or bible study, or saying a prayer at the dinner table? We have all heard about having a "relationship" with God, but what does that truly mean? Many in the world look like they have a relationship with God, but while men judge by appearance, God judges by the heart. And sometimes our heart's aren't pure.

When God comes to reveal Himself, or a Truth to us, one of the biggest challenges we can face is when our spouse isn't on board with the journey. But how do we effectively communicate to and love them in the midst of disagreement? When we look at the biblical pattern of how Jesus communicated the truth to His bride, we learn how to treat our husbands and wives and love them well. Here are 4 points on how to reach your spouse with the truth.
Your life is temporary and the countdown has begun. As the seconds tick by, what is most important to you in life will determine whether your life has an impact on eternity. When we get swallowed in the work & toil of the every day, we often lose perspective. All these things are temporary instead of eternal and striving after wind. But come and see, there is something eternal - what is your focus?
We all know the famous story of Joseph with his coat of many colors. But what if from the beginning, this story contains a prophetic picture of the soon to be revealed Messiah of the world; and the hope He is to bring unto the ends of the ages? This story gives a deeper revelation of the beauty of Messiah. Furthermore, this story teaches us about God's unfailing promises, fulfilled in Yeshua, and to be fulfilled in us today. Torah Portion: Vayeshev | And He Lived | ΧΦ·ΧΦ΅ΦΌΧ©ΦΆΧΧ
From the beginning, men have loved control. The name of God has been used repeatedly to exercise this control through all manner of religious works and observances that miss the point of love. And often we are not innocent, we love control too. We want to see others do what we do, and when they don't - we want to play God. But how long, crooked generation, until you see that God is the one to change the heart, and not you. Torah Portion: Vayishlach | He sent | ΧΧΧ©ΧΧ
Earlier this week a missionary was killed by the Sentinelese people on a remote island along India. The world's reaction was shocking, but even more so, the reaction from many Christians.
What does it mean to "wrestle with God" as Jacob did? In the face of danger, when all seems to go wrong, and all we're left with is a promise from God, what will we do? We need to be like Jacob: to take hold of, and cry out to Father to not let us go until He blesses us! For that is where we find God face-to-face. However, when Jacob wrestled with God, God touched his hip and it was dislocated. But why? There is something profound that Father wants to teach us in relation to trusting Him in the midst of disaster. Torah Portion: Vayishlach | He sent | ΧΧΧ©ΧΧ

The names of God - How did we end up with so many names? Is using the name "Jesus" a sin? What should our focus be regarding the names of God? What would Yeshua do regarding all this? What is the best way we can love in this situation? Join PD and Christina in this live discussion regarding the names of God and movements such as sacred name.
Why did Jesus cast the demons into the pigs? What was His motivation? And why did the demons desire to enter the pigs in the first place? In this video, we will look at answering these questions, as well as go through every single New Testament scripture that seems to indicate that we can eat "whatever we want" and we shouldn't be worried about God's words regarding unclean food in Leviticus 11. I hope this teaching edifies you and equips you to be able to "give an account for the hope that is within you".
I have consistently seen those obsessed with persecuting others for not pronouncing God or His Son's names "right", or forbidding the use of titles like "God" or "Father", bears no good fruit. No caring for the poor No uncompromising, radical love No making of disciples No healing of the sick No casting out demons No freedom Just living on Facebook all day causing division. I am a simple man, I just judge a tree by its fruit, and this one is rotten to its root.
Your life is all about an eternal birthright. Before the foundation of the world, before everything, God spoke a calling over your life for you to pursue and accomplish. A calling in line with glorifying His kingdom. But many miss this birthright, despise it, and therefore miss out on the blessing. The story of Jacob & Esau teaches us about birthright, how to fulfil it, what happens when we do, and what happens when we don't. What you do with an eternal birthright in the midst of a temporary world is the single most important thing you'll ever do in this life. Torah Portion: Toldot / Family history / ΧͺΧΧΧΧΧͺ
When laying hands on others, is it possible for us to receive demons? This is a serious concern that has discouraged many from laying hands to pray for others. But what does the Bible really say? Note: This video answers the question in relation to a Holy Spirit filled believer laying hands to pray for someone else. It does not address demons imparted through witchcraft. For a teaching on the Kundalini Spirit, please watch "The Kundalini Counterfeit": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrcjqyPflNs
It's that time of the year again. With the decorations, the celebrations of darkness, and the trick or treating from door to door. The question is, what would Jesus do on a day like this? When we do the same thing every year, over and over again, anything and everything becomes so natural to us that we never stop to ask: Where does this all come from? And does it please God? Let's see what the Bible says about celebrating Halloween.
Can you imagine being married, with a wedding contract you've never seen? Or being married to a spouse yet not knowing their expectations, likes or dislikes, or cultural background? Yet that's the state of many Christians. Just about every denomination has a different opinion on which parts of God's covenants are for us. Many enter covenant with God without even knowing what their covenant says, and consequently without understanding God's expectations, likes and dislikes, and culture. It's always been all about a marriage covenant, and it's time to learn His eternal covenant, otherwise, you'll always struggle with your relationship with God. Torah Portion: Lecha Lecha / Go Forth (Genesis 12:1 - 17:27)
Have you ever wondered how Paul did it? He reached the nations from north to south, east to west with the gospel. Reaching diverse pagan cultures and being able to connect with them, all without compromising his holiness. Even though we don't belong to this world, we can still connect with the lost as both Jesus and Paul did. In fact, Paul writes of how he did this in the last few chapters of Romans. He not only addresses how we can connect with the unbeliever, but also how to walk out our role with those in fellowship, and how to conduct fellowships. Living a life that encourages harmony with those around us is a commandment and one that someone's eternity can depend on since we are walking representations of Yeshua. There is not a lot of things more valuable than reaching the lost with the gospel, by all means necessary.

[PODCAST] What went wrong in the garden isn't just that they ate the fruit, there was a much deeper issue in Adam & Eve's relationship with God that caused the fall in the first place. The story of Genesis isn't just about a man, a woman, a tree and a snake. It's all about Jesus and His Bride. It tells us the story of the end, from the beginning. Everything that Adam did wrong, Jesus came to reverse and set right. We can be after the image of Adam or Jesus. But Jesus is coming back for a Bride after His own image. Torah Portion: B'reisheet / In The Beginning (Genesis 1 - 6)
Dating: In our Bibles, we don't see it. It's just not there. Our culture is so divorced from the biblical model of romance, that we don't know what's suppose to be normal anymore. But when we look at the biblical examples God gave, we stumble upon something "radical" yet beautiful. Finding someone was never suppose to be about you, but all about glorifying Him. In this video, I share my personal relationship journey with Christina to connect it with the picture of Yeshua and His bride. I also explore different biblical examples of romantic relationships. Rise on Fire is a ministry assigned to ignite a fire of Spirit & Truth around the world. God is calling us back to the walk of Yeshua with no more excuses. We are free from the traditions of men, led by the Truth and empowered by the Spirit.
His desire has always been to tabernacle among us. From the journey through Egypt to the end of the age where we will dwell with Him face-to-face. And from the beginning the enemy has come to lie, to make us doubt the voice of God, to separate us from God, even though God's desire is to come closer. This is the feast of "intimacy", the wedding rehearsal where the Bridegroom calls the Bride to gather her oil. This feast is the Greatest Feast, the culmination of everything, from Genesis to Revelation, from the Garden to the very End. And this feast is here. I hope this new teaching blesses you. Have an amazing Feast of Tabernacles!
[PODCAST] We are called to walk as Yeshua walked. But have you ever thought about the people He preached to the most? The meek, the weak, and contrite of heart. But we see little of this in mainstream Christianity, where the harvest is plentiful but hands are few. The idea of heading into the streets to preach the gospel and feed the poor can be daunting. So I decided to grab a camera and join one of the biggest outreach ministries in South Africa to show you how it can be done. This event was smaller, and a great example of how anyone can go out with a few friends to feed and clothe the poor, both physically and spiritually.
When it comes to our opinions, we can easily get really excited. Sometimes over-excited - lifting conspiracy theories like flat earth, our organic diets, or even "spiritual" practices to the level of law, considering ourselves "better" and alienating those who don't believe what we do regarding disputable matters. And just like today, Paul faced many of the same issues and tells us to be humble about them. Romans 14 is also misunderstood by mainstream Christianity as the food chapter where Paul says we can "eat whatever we want", and keep a sabbath on "any day we want". Both these ideas are a severe misunderstanding of the cultural issues Paul were facing, and if we understand them, you'll see it's actually pretty simple: Paul was never nullifying the law of God, but rather the laws of men. Topics Discussed: We can eat anything? / Have the sabbath any day? / Conspiracy Theories (Flat earth, etc.)
[PODCAST] One of these years, this would be the day where the world hears the trumpets of Revelation sound, but what if it sounded today? Time will be up. No more second chances, no more calling your parent, friend or colleague to say youβre sorry. For in a little while, we will all appear before God to be judged on every idle word and thought. He will especially look at what weβve done with the talents Heβs entrusted us with. Was it simply for the exaltation of our own kingdom? Or was it always used towards His? Today is not too late yet. Heβs not back yet. That means while it is Day, you still have time. Make the decision today to give your life into His hands. Many are βChristianβ yet hold onto their own life. Hear me today: He who holds onto his own life will lose it. He who gives up his life for His sake will gain it. Have a blessed feast of trumpets!
[PODCAST] When Paul wrote that we are to "be subject to the governing authorities", it might shock you to discover that he was under a governing authority that did not even believe in God! So how could Paul write such a thing? What are we to do with this passage when we are ruled by governments who oppose God? And what did Paul really mean when he said that all of them have been "instituted by God"? In this video, PD and Christina delve into the controversial Romans 13, to better understand God's heart behind this passage.
[PODCAST] In this incredible discussion, PD and Zach Struharik goes through the most prevalent lies of the enemy we believe that holds us back from the calling God has set apart for us. - There are many things holding us back from fulfilling the calling that God has placed on our life. I would like to go through some of the "excuses" we often make, or battles we face when trying to run after what God called us to. This talks to the bigger picture of our perspectives - we are often very focused on the here and now, and because of that miss the bigger picture of eternity. After all, our callings are in light of eternity and have an eternal impact.
[PODCAST] God granted the thief on the cross salvation at the last minute - without him ever being baptized. The thief on the cross is important! Because God used him to closely demonstrate what baptism means, even though he himself was never baptized. Everything that baptism fulfils was accomplished in the thief. If we properly understand baptism, we can properly live for God. Because it's supposed to be so much more than a sprinkle of water.
Our calling is to be the light, to turn the other cheek by how we love God with all we are. Then to accomplish what Yeshua came to do: To gather the lost sheep of the House of Israel, not to boast against them. To provoke the jew to jealousy, not replace him. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to βprovoke the Jew to jealousyβ, the error of replacement theology, and the witness of Spirit & Truth of this age.
Have you ever said, "next year I'll do this", or "tomorrow I'll do that"? Of course, we do, we all do. But what if I told you, that it can be sin? Scripture discussed: James 4
[PODCAST] I know the lies of Satan, because I've heard them all. From the "you're not worthy", to the "who do you think you are?" When we know the truth, we'll know the lies; and when we know the lies, we can ignore them to live for Him. Rise on Fire is a ministry assigned to ignite a fire of Spirit & Truth around the world.

[PODCAST]The preacher is up there, he takes a deep breath, and proclaims: "We need to walk in the Spirit! We need to be led by the Spirit!" But have you ever wondered what that really means? Sadly, most Christians don't. It's not just about an oogly googly feeling, but scripture pins it down as something all believers must do, and if they don't, scripture says that they cannot please God. Scripture also says this very thing is the "secret" that will open the eyes of the Jewish people to their Messiah. So I guess it's quite important for us to understand what scripture defines as "walking in the Spirit"? Let's find out.

[PODCAST] What if I told you: Paul was against a different law! Often Paul's writings are used to substantiate that he is abolishing parts, or the entire Torah of God, that we are now "free" from that "burden", and no longer "under the law". But what if he was speaking about something different, something going on in the culture of his day: A certain group of Pharisees. Join PD and Christina as they unveil the different factions of Pharisees that were present around Paul, to better understand who Paul is writing to, and what issues he was addressing. Furthermore, understand Acts 15's "letter to the gentiles" in this proper context like never before. Acts 15 is not a ticket out of obedience, but an urging for it.
Paul had to deal with many who were circumcised in flesh, but uncircumcised in heart. Those obsessed with their outward expressions, instead of inward transformations. A transformation that can only ever be accomplished by the filling of the Holy Spirit and faith in Yeshua. Many have thought of Paul's writings against those of "the circumcision" as being opposed to God's law (torah), but was this really what he meant? We started a series on going through the book of Romans - chapter by chapter! May He write His law on your heart (Jer 31:31). Rise on Fire is a ministry assigned to ignite a fire of Spirit & Truth around the world. God is calling us back to the walk of Yeshua with no more excuses. We are free from the traditions of men, led by the Truth and empowered by the Spirit.
[PODCAST] God gives each generation a calling. When Israel had unbelief in the face of giants, the generation was disqualified from fulfilling their calling (the promised land). The specific calling of our generation looks a little different, and understanding it will ensure we don't make the same mistake Israel did. Rise on Fire is a ministry assigned to ignite a fire of Spirit & Truth around the world. God is calling us back to the walk of Yeshua with no more excuses. We are free from the traditions of men, led by the Truth and empowered by the Spirit.
[PODCAST] When the sun shines itβs rays on us and we're in a season of happiness, all is well and we never complain, worrying or fear. But when the sun goes down and this season turns to darkness, we are left equipped with what we harvested while it was still day. How you sought God while it was day, will impact how you see God during the night. And how you see God during the night, will make all the late nights, tears, and trusting of God - so worth it. Time to face your giants, but this time, letβs do it with Him, or youβll get lost in your desert. May this video bless you.
[PODCAST] Ever wondered why Yeshua had to get baptized? Or the real purpose of baptism? The concept of baptism is mysterious. Why did God give us such a peculiar instruction for starting our journey with Him? Baptism is so much more than most know. It is not just a mere symbol or a way to "join a church", and it's not even just about repentance - its about a divine priesthood.
[PODCAST] OK guys, so I guess I should cut my hair? What does the Paul really mean in 1 Corinthians 11 when he says that it is a "shame" for a man to have long hair? You probably won't hear this in church.
[PODCAST] "I thank God I'm not like other men" But what if I told you - Christians keep torah too. Wait, what? Allow me to tell you a story about a Pharisee and a Tax Collector (Luke 18).

[PODCAST] Those who want it, were usually never meant to have it. God chose the unqualified, the least, the illiterate and soft spoken. The lowered one, instead of the "highly awoken". And when that one comes, that "intelligent" one, and desires to lead without calling, he will be swallowed by the earth, even so with warning. The humble will lead, and when the "great" oppose, they will be humbled to serve. Choose to serve today, or be humbled tomorrow.

[PODCAST] In many ways, men have tossed aside the voices of women. It has been believed that women are to "sit down, submit and keep quietβ, and it was never imagined that they could be leaders in a congregation. But is this Godβs will? I invited a special guest - Tiaan van Wyk - to join me in a deep conversation about women and leadership, headcoverings, the value and position of single, widowed and divorced women in church, as well as whether women should submit to an unbelieving husband.

[PODCAST] Are women allowed to teach men? What if much of they taught you regarding women in authority β whether woman can teach β is not correct? You see, if we get this wrong, we get it all wrong. Because we will distort the picture of the husband and wife β the Bride (Assembly) and Bridegroom (Messiah). For the past 2000 years, Paulβs controversial letters have been misunderstood, misaligned, and sometimes even rejected. Among the most debated is his letters concerning women in ministry. Can women teach? Are women allowed to hold positions of authority? Should women wear head coverings? Are women allowed to wear jewelry? What are the biblical roles of men & women? These debates may have formed due to a lack of knowledge regarding both the old testament writings, as well as a certain Roman cultural revolution that occurred at the time of his writings. Join PD in 2 hours of investigation into first century Rome to better understand the contexts of Paulβs letters dealing with women in ministry.

[PODCAST] Should women wear head coverings according to Paul, and are they allowed to wear jewelry? Time to answer the big question nobody wants to touch: Should women wear headcoverings? And can they wear jewelry? Where did Paul get many of the ideas behind his writings? This is a topic that has left many confused β there are many lies and deceptions regarding this that has become a norm to so many of us. I would like to encourage you to leave all preconceived ideas, and ask the Spirit for clarity. May this bless you and bring FREEDOM.

Whereβs the bride? Itβs Shavuot in 2018 (Pentecost) and an outpouring is needed today more than ever. Many are living in the gift of Truth given at the first Shavuot; or the Gift of Spirit given at the second. But His bride will be equally yoked, and will walk in the power of the Spirit, with discernment of the Truth. But are you His Bride? The trumpet is about to blow and it will be too late to be adorned for your Husband. Get ready! For He is coming!

[PODCAST] When God calls us into covenant, it's a life-death decision. Not only are we transformed unto new life in choosing Him, we also bear the responsibility to now walk as He walked. But not bearing good fruit while in covenant with Him is one of the most dangerous things we could ever do. Our temples will suffer for it. Are you bearing good fruit in every season?

[PODCAST] Have you ever seen healing, only to see sickness return? When Jesus explains the behaviour of demons, he emphasises what happens when a house is "swept cleanβ. The result is that the person is left worst off than ever before, and this is exactly what Jesus Himself experienced and warned against in His ministry. Is your house swept clean, or filled with Him? See, your temple cannot be a vacuum, but must represent one of two kingdoms. Sometimes we are filled with the wrong kingdom, and in midst of the chaos of our life, we have no idea.

[PODCAST] A bitter heart causes muddy waters. Few understand the impact the heart can have on the physical condition of the body.

Does God ever cause sickness in the body for His glory, or is it always merely a work of the devil? In this addition to the "Why We Get Sick Series", we will look at how Paul's thorn in the flesh is often used as an example of how God can inflict us with disease to keep humble or "in line", but was disease really his thorn in the flesh? And as for the big WHY to some situations of sickess, scripture gives us a unique perspective which we won't see the beauty in unless we truly die to ourselves to change our perspectives.

[PODCAST] Yeshua had an extraordinary plan up His sleeve when He sent the leper to the priest, because thousands of years before, God placed a special condition in the Torah that the priests knew, but were never able to do - until the day He came. This ritual has everything to do with Yeshua and the crucifixion. It is a picture of our walk with Him, from what He did for us, to the role of the Spirit, to the walk He calls us to. This is truly what it means when Yeshua "fulfilled" the Torah, because He actually instructed the leper to be obedient to an instruction that nobody has even been able to be obedient to. He filled the instructions of His Father up with meaning - to the brim. Torah Portion: Metzora / Tazria Rise on Fire is a ministry assigned to ignite a fire of Spirit & Truth around the world.

[PODCAST] It wasn't just about drinking wine, or the sacrifice itself, there was something much bigger that God wanted to teach us about our sacrifices unto Him. The fat, liver and kidneys were to be sacrificed inside the camp, and each have an important meaning and message that explains to us why Nadab and Abihu's sacrifice was considered as "strange" by God.

[PODCAST] Why did God reveal the Truth to you? Was it for your own benefit, or maybe something more? Something that most who come into Torah have struggled with, or is struggling with, is the danger of pride. Knowledge can certainly puff up, so lets audit ourselves by how we fellowship with others, and the love we do or do not walk out. Once we receive a revelation, the enemy comes in for the kill, and without humility, we will certainly be consumed in our own leaven.

[PODCAST] A fire burns, whether it knows or not, or whether it wants to or not. The people around it see it, they are changed by it, and it testifies of the truth. What if the truth that came down on Mount Sinai, that ferocious fire, lived in you? God wants to do miracles through you, even if you feel unworthy. Has He not forgiven, has He not delivered, is He not able? Feeling unworthy leaves you in good company with Moses and countless others, but it also means God gets the glory. When are we going to start believing He wants to change multitudes through the course of our lives, like He changed multitudes in one day at Mount Sinai?

[Spoken Word] Welcome to the day where we clothe our children as witches and warlocks to make them masquerade as goldy locks. Going to the strangers' door-to-door. But we never ask: Are you sure? Are you sure of the darkness that celebrates and sets in unto the celebration of halloween. Where no light ever shines, for what fellowship does light have with darkness? Don't you know that it only leaves behind an empty carcass. The witches rejoice, when they offer the children unto Satan to be taken. Then we ask our boy why he left God, or the atheist why he seeks not. We offered them to Satan, and without repentance, we will continue hating the light. Stop celebrating halloween, its an abomination to God. If you do not turn, He will not return to your lot. Forget the candy and empty celebration, celebrate the festivals of God where the light shines, the chains are broken and the baby cries not.
Many roads of separation, but one road of salvation. Anti-Christs are rising all over - from the midst of our fellowships to the edges of the world. Do you not know that God is testing you? Its the sheep in wolves-clothing with an appearance of holiness and sound teaching that will deceive the Spirit-less and frivolous.
He is pitching tent, will you join? Millions of believers all over the world are awakening to God's festivals. We are witnessing the House of Israel returning to the Father's instructions!
