Life Around "The Fire"

Send us Fan Mail The "Basic" aspects of relationship with anyone (especially God) are good and very essential. However, getting beyond the basics is where things start gettting even more intersting. I love the basics about life with my wife. But, I really love it when we get deeper and more involved with each other and life together. The same goes for relationship with God. So, this is w...

Send us Fan Mail Identity refers to our understanding of who we are. Purpose refers to our understanding of our role in contributing meaningfully to our families, communities, and society. The Way of seeing these things radicallychanges when our relationship with God and His Kingdom/Realm become our highest priority. It is God gives  Who ultimately gives us our understanding of who we are and reve...

Send us Fan Mail Get ready, get ready! It's time to "Come on up" and function in our true identity and the dunamis of our being immersed in the Holy Spirit. We are using "Ephesus" as our first example of what happens when a group of people get "baptized" in the Holy Spirit. The correlation to the world we live in today will be very interesting and life transformi...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever found yourself just being negative about everything? I have. I was there for about a week just a couple of days ago. The last thing on my mind was God's Kingdom. His plans and purposes were right there with His Kingdom... not on my list of thinking about things. Earth and all of it's negative ways were occupying my mind. I felt lousy and my attitude was eit...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes even good things can be messy...  The breath of a newborn baby... Childbirth A barn full of healthy oxen... Ox droppings. Glorious demonstrative waves of God's Presence and Kingdom... Demons shrieking out, people weeping uncontrollably, laughing, trembling, falling into trances, speaking in tongues, swooning under God's power, etc. Folks, get ready for things t...

Send us Fan Mail Trying harder using our own limited ability to do good and live right is more than exhausting ... It's empty, meaningless, and in the end it leaves a peron hopeless and without having any real relationship God and others. Being empowered by God's Spirit life to live His Way as citizens of His Kingdom is a life growing in love, joy, peace, patience, faithfulness, and self...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been hurt by someone so deeply that you vowed you would never trust anyone like that ever again? I have.  I had also forgotten all about it until one day  I noticed a pattern in my life that was problematic involving intimacy in relationships. I had developed some type of calloused or abscessed area around some of my thoughts and emotions. Itwas creating a negative i...

Send us Fan Mail Letting go of things that hold us down involves embracing trust. Trust is at the core of living above our circumstances. Circumstances aren't able to control us when we place our trust in the ability of God to demonstrate His Kingdom to us and through us providing the necessary power to change our environment... the very atmosphere in which we live is transformed into the eth...

Send us Fan Mail Growing up spiritually involves us learning how to live as citizens of the Highest Realm by allowing ourselves to place our trust in God and follow Jesus up above our circumstances and become aquainted with the ways of God's Kingdom Realm of Heaven. We don't need to wait for some future date or after we die to live life from the Realm of His Kingdom and limit ourselves t...

Send us Fan Mail Far too many years I was caught up in living in only one realm... The Physical Realm. Not only is it limiting to ones potential to only live in the Physical Realm... It's not even the Highest Realm available for us to live in. The Highest Realm possible to live in both now and in the future is the Realm known as The Kingdom of God or The Kingdom of Heaven. Also, for too many...

Send us Fan Mail If following Jesus only meant that I was going to clean up my thought life and some of the words that came out of my mouth this whole thing would be a pretty shallow religion, at best. However, we're not talking about a religion. This is about relationship with God, each other, and as functioning citizens of His ever expanding Kingdom! Jesus didn't call us into a "s...

Send us Fan Mail I believe many of us have been taught not to see in the realm of the spirit. Our ability to envision things is stunted because of this in many areas. Seeing things like God sees them is part of what transpires when we are born-again. We are given the ability to begin " seeing/perceiving" the activity in the Kingdom of Heaven . God wants us to be able to see things with H...

Send us Fan Mail The cicada is an insect that lies dormant for 17 years and when the time comes for them to emerge, they come out en masse. Timing... The Presence of God can seem non-exstant for many years and suddendly when the time is right He reveals Himself in a very significant Way. Timing... We are living in a time in which God is revealing Himself (again) in a very significant Way. Timing.....

Send us Fan Mail Perfect love casts out all fear. Perfect trust casts out all unbelief. We can't be full of unbelief and anxiety and love and trust at the same time. We are the ones who choose. There's a realm that is greater than the realm of fear and unbelief... It's the realom of God's Kingdom. He is teaching us how to walk in His Kingdom just like He walks in His Kingdom. W...

Send us Fan Mail Funny thing... I like things that are natural ... I love nature ... I love little children ... I love good times with friends and family. However, I have this hunger to experience and be involved in more... the supernatural. I'm not alone. So, under the guidance of Holy Spirit we're going to be devoing the next 3 episodes, including this one to the mysterious ways of God...

Send us Fan Mail Trust is foundational to all things. Without trust, there is no love. Without trust there really is no reason to do anything. Even sitting on a chair requires trust. God trusts Himself... that's where it starts. Trust is in the very air/ethos of God's kingdom. It's one of his "Ways". Trust is also intrinsic to worship. When Satan tried tempting Jesus to wo...

Send us Fan Mail Experiencing the freedom and joy of being free from the heavy weight of living a life of discouragement is nothing less than divine. Providing someone with the positive motivation and attitude of having the true courage to do something they thought was just wishfull thinking is divine as well. Encouragement is actually an attribute/way of God... God, by nature, is encouraging. We...

Send us Fan Mail This episode offers a brief update involving an accident our host, David Huotari, expeinced a couple of months ago. What started out a simple sore knee turned into a 3 1/2 hour major plastic surgery that was done to repair his knee. The good news is He's feeling better and back in the studio. The even better news is the stuff God taught him while he was "out of commissio...

Send us Fan Mail This episode will provide you with an introduction into a very significant aspect of spiritual growth. After awhile we need to not only understand but put into practice things that are more than just looking at how things once were or how they might be someday. The Kingdom of God is now and it is at hand.  We are called to function as citizens of that Kingdom in more than ethical...

Send us Fan Mail There's nothing fancy about this podcast episode. In fact, it's rather simple and sincere (childlike). Things that make our heavenly Father smile when we try learning His ways aren't necessarily polished and prestine. It's like a clothesline production put on in the backyard while the grown ups watch as kids express themselves without a lot of bells and whistle...

Send us Fan Mail Out loud and on purpose. There's something powerful about what we say out loud and how we say it that has a transforming influence in the world that we live in. Our spoken words are messengers of either life or death. We have been given the ability, in many cases way more than we may think concerning a very powerful thing at the very tip of our tongues. With that revelation i...

Send us Fan Mail The story of the boy who cried, "Wolf" is a classic tale of not saying things just for the sake of trying to get attention. Eventually people stop believing you. The same can take place concerning things pertaining to God and His Kingdom and what's happening on the Earth. We can become harderned to hear things because we don't want to be suckers or fools again...

Send us Fan Mail Money, Realtionships, and Power/Control are the trifecta of lifes great challenges. We'll be looking at those three things and how the play into us "Gowing up before we grow old."
