Life Around "The Fire"

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever noticed that there are times in life that are kind of like lining up dominoes? You knock over one and it creates a chain reaction. Spiritual life is also like that at times.  Something needs to happen in order for the end result to be accomplished with all of the dominoes involved. Being pure in heart creates a domino affect throughout our entire lives Support the sh...

Send us Fan Mail I'd rather hear someone say that "things are kind of hard right now" when that's the way things are "right now". Verses hearing them say, "everything is fine" when they aren't "fine" right now. I've hit a place in this podcast where things are at a stand still for the moment. I/we stand here waiting on the LORD for His ne...

Send us Fan Mail I've thought the "Fat Lady" was getting ready to sing "The Last Song" over my life more than once. She hasn't, yet! I can now say, "Thank You God." I wasn't saying that a few years ago. It's amazing to me to see the things that God has and is using to bring you and me closer to Him. T love ando become like Him. To love and truly be...

Send us Fan Mail Being thick skinned and cold blooded is a major source of inspiration and motivation for a large segment of the population on planet Earth. I have embraced and lived that way of doing things and called it "really living" life out on my terms. Where did it lead me? Beyond being unfulfilled. I was in bondage to a way of degradation and death. I couldn't help being the...

Send us Fan Mail The love that a mother (and father) feel toward their, hopoed for and already loved unborn child ia so tender and pure. The child has done nothing yet to earn or work for that love. They are just, simply, and deeply loved. Then come sleepless nights, messy diapers, teething, lying. and the terrible two's. It's love... just not "tender" love like it was when the...

Send us Fan Mail A picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes a word is worth a thousand pictures. Take the word "Meek" for example. How many different ways are there to describe "Meek" or "Meekness" Stay tuned... you might be both surprised and very fortunate (blessed) to find out. Support the show Loving Yeshua/Jesus, Loving people... Come as you are and you will...

Send us Fan Mail "Get it all out." Have you ever really cried real and hard while grieving and mourning? It's exhausting! It's exhausting but necessary. Without mourning we are unhealthy. We need to get out what is inside so that we don't implode. It's important to mourn. Support the show Loving Yeshua/Jesus, Loving people... Come as you are and you will be loved!  Fe...

Send us Fan Mail "I'm lost and I can't find my way home." If you've ever been really lost, whether in a city or in the woods, you know the feeling. The sinking feeling in your stomach. The sense of panic and fear that wants to suck the air out of your lungs. The sense of desperation that engulfs your thoughts. The same goes for us spiritually. However, unlike being lost in...

Send us Fan Mail I'm quite sure you are a lot like me when it comes to "Getting used to things". I used to get excited by lifting 200 lbs. At first it was a big deal. Now, it's not quite as impressive. The same can be true regarding the entire sinless life, death, resurrection, and ascension of a man by the name of, Jesus. That whole picture, of and by itself, is some paradigm...

Send us Fan Mail There's a song ELO sings and part of the lyrics go, "I can't get it out of my head". That song is about a mythical experience with a woman in a vision. In this episode we are talking about having something "stuck" in our mind's where we just keep thinking about God and His Kingdom. It's not an obsession. It's actually something that &qu...

Send us Fan Mail Knowing the source or "head" of a river is important in order to best appreciate where the water originates. Miracles, signs, and wonders all have an origin. The one's that come from God originate from Him. We get to be part of the action. We are not the source or the "head" of any those amazing things. We are totally dependant upon God to release them to...

Send us Fan Mail I have to admit that at least 75 percent (In most of the Wesetern Hemisphere) of what we have called "Miracles, Signs, and Wonders" have been either slick marketing tools, cheap parlor tricks, blatant deception, slight of hand movement or misguided, good intentions. That has left many of us (myself included) rather sketical and/or jaded. All of that being said, that stil...

Send us Fan Mail True, godly unity is way better than mere uniformity or unnamity. True unity often takes time along with a willingness to change. Ironically unhealthy, worldly unity involves the same things. It's a matter of whether we choose Eternal Life or Eternal Death. I choose LIFE. The Life that Jesus provides... Eternal Life. I am willing to go through whatever changes are necessary i...

Send us Fan Mail Earth is a unique experience. It's nothing like I thought it would be. It's way more real! It's rather effortless at times for me to remember the hurts other people have  inflicted upon me. It's also ironic how quickly I can forget things that are important, eternal, and impacting insights to live by. I used to think my mixed up thinking was due to my previous,...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes feeling squezzed or feeling like life is a pressure cooker can lead a person to think that they've done something wron. That's not always the case. Sometimes it's because we're doing things correctly. Sometimes we go through certain things because something more important is being developed that we can't see at the moment. Take unity for example....

Send us Fan Mail The statement, "Something good will come out of this." doesn't really do to much for me when I'm going through a "swamp life" experience. I know it's said with good intentions. It still just doesn't cut it for me. I need to see proof for myself sometimes. Well, that's what this podcast episode is all about. Saddle up and let's go f...

Send us Fan Mail Coal Dust. A person doesn't have to do anything nefarious to get coal dust on them if they work in a coal mine. Just by working in it you get dirty. The same goes with living on planet Earth. Sin is all around us, like coal dust. Ugly disharmony and senseless divisions are no different than murder (if you get right down to it). We need to see a people who aren't covered...

Send us Fan Mail Some celebrities will attend "the opening of an envelope" just to be seen. Some people will cause divisions just to be involved in a "good fight" over who's right. Being right sometimes is only in a person's proud head. Pride is typically at the core of most all divisions that people create. Who's more "right" than the other person. At...

Send us Fan Mail It's amzing how much being encouraged from someone can really make a difference. Encouragement is good. I love it! We get to provide needed courage to someone via a word of "encouragement". "Encourage" means: "To gove courage". Let's be risk takers and be willing to express a word of encouragement from God through us to someone else. Give it...

Send us Fan Mail I like where I was born in Minnesota. I like where I grew up. I like where I live in Florida. I like being 63 years old. I like the USA I love being born-again. I love my new citizenship in the Kingdom of God (it's my first priority). I love having the divine nature and eternal life of God (Right Now)! Please take a moment and pray with me concerning 2 things that affect all...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes it's not only enjoyable it's commanded by God or it's an extemely intense desire within us to just be wide-open! Wide-open meaning: being able to express yourself freely without any reservations, concerns or inhibitions - being filled with God not drunk with alcohol! I say, "YES"!!! However, being the person who can be either too guarded or too f...

Send us Fan Mail It's obvious that we are in very troubled times. Praise the LORD! Halleilujah!!! Shout for joy unto the Lord. He is good. His mercy is everlasting and His love endures forever! It means, Jesus is coming back very soon. Maranatha, Praise our King and our God! We must pray and keep praying. God has commanded us tp pray.  He has not given us a good idea to think about. Prayer is...

Send us Fan Mail It takes the Presence of God to accomplish only what God can do. It's amazing that He has chosen us to do it .  He does it to us and through us. That includes true, unity. Unity, not uniformity. Unity, not a peaces treaty. Unity, not a contract. Unity, God's definition and way of unity. The harvest of lives needs to see a healthy community of believers. Community = Commo...
