Life Around "The Fire"

Send us Fan Mail With everything going on around us it's easy to ask, "What in the world is God up to these days?" I would never venture to totally answer that question. My pat-grade isn't that high. However, I do know that one of His top priorities is developing/maturing and uniting/unifying the Ecclesia/Church. The Father is busy preparing a Bride for His Son. We, who are the...

Send us Fan Mail Some things concerning us having healthy relationships can be a real mystery. Men understanding women and women understand men. Parents understanding children and children understanding parents. Emloyers understanding employees and employees understanding employers. I think that is a good starting place to explore some of the mysteries and the mystery solving of relationships amon...

Send us Fan Mail As a kid do you remember getting a "side ache" while you were running for a long time or playing real hard? Did you stop running or playing? Sometimes I would. Until ... Until, one day I kept just decided to keep on  running and the side ache went away and then I got my second wind and Icould keep on running for miles (if I wanted to). The same type of thing happens in l...

Send us Fan Mail I once saw a strong, grown, man publicly sob because he just couldn't find the words to adequately express what heaven looked and smelled like when he expereinced it after a near-death encounter with God. I wasn't transported to any heavenly realm  but God did come and visit me during the course of the past 2 days and nights in a very unique Way. I have scarcely slept a...

Send us Fan Mail In a letter that the Apostle Paul wrote to a Church in Corinth in chapter 2:1-5 he reminds these folks of something that was very important for them to recall at that time and it is very important and relevant for us to hear and recall some of those very types and things today.  The Rhema of Gods Message from the Ruach Hakodesh is as follows: "My brothers and sisters, when I...

Send us Fan Mail I've had the privilege of sitting under some of the best teaching from the most gifted and intelligent teachers in the world. I've listened to God speak through some men and women that made me wonder if they were aliens because their minds and hearts were so full of Truth. Dr. Ed Bez, who just so happens to be my Rabbi here in Jacksonville, Fl at Zerah Avraham is our gue...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever seen someone who has wasted great opportunities to succeed in life only to settle for something oer someone that was second best? Maybe you have settled for second best?  Are you living to regret it. We are dealing with a heavy topic in this podcast episode involving sexual immorality, lust, and greed. This introduction will make more sense once you listen to the ent...

Send us Fan Mail How can a little seed from a tree eventually crack open a massive, glacial rock? How can a little bit of yeast make a whole batch of dough rise like a mountain? The Kingdom of God is just like that in the Earth. It grows and we don't always know how or even when ... but it does and it is! God is causing His Kingdom and it's growth and development known in a strong Way on...

Send us Fan Mail What does an entire culture/community of givers look like? There are no needs. No negative competition or greed. No lust or envy. No strife or war. Eternal life and love. All of ones defenses are down and we are free to be ourselves. That what Christian maturity in the Kingdom of God looks like! Let's be grace-filled, generous givers of our time, energy, and money to God and...

Send us Fan Mail It's one thing to be smart. It's another thing to be wise. It's one thing to say you love someone. It's another thing to actually love someone. It's one thing to be individually Christ-like and mature. It's another thing to be a community that is Christ-like and mature. Guess what this podcast episode is about? Support the show Loving Yeshua/Jesus, Lo...

Send us Fan Mail We are parked on the character qualities of spiritual maturity. Gace-filled, generosity in the giving of our time, energy, and money is the one we're looking at again in this episode. We will be emphasing the quality of God's Kingdom culture concerning grace-filled generosity one last time in our next episode. Next on the menu we're going to take a look the privileg...

Send us Fan Mail It's no coincidence that the word "miserable" has the word "miser" attached to it. Who is more enjoyable to be around, a miser or someone who is humble and generous? Which is more powerful, greed or grace-filled generosity? Which Kingdom is full of Life, the Kingdom of God or the kingdom of darkness? Who is the father of greed and destruction? Who is the F...

Send us Fan Mail Always expecting a hand-out from others is the basis of having a poverty mentality and a poor culture. The Kingdom of God operates on the opposite premise. We, as citizens, have our hands out giving things generously from a grace-filled heart. You tell me which is the more powerful culture and mentality to live in? Growing up spiritually involves us giviung our love offerings to G...

Send us Fan Mail Becoming one with and being filled with "Graceful Generosity" is where we are heading  as we follow Yeshu'a/Jesus in this path of becoming more and more like Him.  Greed is not good. Greed kills. Garaceful Generosity is the opposite of greed. The culture of God's Kingdom is full of Graceful Generosity. It's packed with abundant, supernatural, love and powe...

Send us Fan Mail There's an old saying that goes something like this: "It doesn't matter  how high you can jump but how good you can walk when you land." Spiritual experiences are awesome and very important. However, life is daily and how one lives their life over the long haul is as equally if not more important. That's what is being addressed in this podcast along with u...

Send us Fan Mail The old transistor radios had a dial that was used to tune into different radio stations. Each station had different frequencies they used to transmit their radio waves. It required the listener  to"tune into" the frequency of the particular radio station in order to hear what music was being played. It's much the same when it comes to us being able to tune into and...

Send us Fan Mail If you were born a fish you would swin underwater and do fishy things. That would be your culture. If you are born a human you would breath the air and live above the water and do things that are human. That would be your culture. If you were born-again into the Kingdom of God you would be a new breed and do things like God while living in human flesh. That's where we are in...

Send us Fan Mail Being beaten over the head by a book is an abusive act if not a criminal one. Yet, people get beaten over the head by men and women who do so with their mouths using the Bible. The abusive, harsh, legalistic words that come from the very mouths that are entrusted to speak the truth is absolutely wrong. Our hearts go out to anyone who has ever been spiritually abused. You are not c...

Send us Fan Mail There are over 25 different diet plans to choose from and each one claims to be "THE ONE". There are well over 500 different television cable channels to choose from these days. There are more than 45,000 different Christian denominations to pick from in todays world. The point being: There's a lot of competition for our attention and it's becoming  more and mo...

Send us Fan Mail The word "HOPE" can and oftn does  does carry with it many meanings and ideas about life and how things happen. Saying, "I hope I don't get some morphed strain of Covid-19" is different than saying, "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness". In this podcast episode you will both hear and feel what Jesus (and mary...

Send us Fan Mail We become like what/Who we behold . The frequency of how we vibrate and send out our signals is determined by what we dwell on and allow to dwell within us The people, places, and things we impact and attract   are determined in a great degree by the signals/vibrations caused by both what we dwell on and what/Who dwells in the core of who we are as people living out our daily live...

Send us Fan Mail It's quite amazing to me how one continent can have some many cultures within it. Each country has its own unique and definite look and "feel" to it. The same goes for the way the Kingdom of God looks and feels. Becoming a mature, functioning citizen of this Kingdom is what these next few episodes are all about. I'm thankful we have a Written and Spiritual Guid...

Send us Fan Mail It's one thing to read about relationships. It's another thing to experience one by being in it with a real person. The same thing applies to God. It's one thing to know about Him. It's another thing to be in close relationship with Him in a real way. Jesus is the One and only Way Who makes being in relationship with God possible. Know Jesus Know relationship w...

Send us Fan Mail Knowledge of and by itself is good, but too much of it tends to produce a snobbish undercurrent of superiority and arrogance. Words and works... We need both. Works alone tend to produce a hyped, sensensaionalist, shallow, and ignorant type of lifestyle. Works and words... We need both. In the Western Hemispher of Planet Earth we need more works of the Kingdom. In the more remote...

Send us Fan Mail It's okay to have high powered racing engines and be an expert on how they work. However, if all you do is study the engine, look at it, and every once in awhile take it out and slowly drive it around the block a few times and then put it back in the garage without really driving it for all it's worth... whata drag...what fun is that? Same thing goes for someone who know...
