PATH TO ZION PODCAST

This short, 2-part series will examine one of the greatest questions of this hour. Where has the Church gone? I will propose that four major "pre-existing conditions" within the Church are revealing four "fruits" in this hour of MINOR testing. What are we seeing unfold? Where is it headed and, most importantly, what can we do about it?

This is a very open and transparent episode where I share the personal weight of counting the cost to follow the Messiah. Friends, losing our life for the sake of the King will absolutely cost us our everything!  Will you count the cost?

As I was leaving a grocery store yesterday, my heart was filled with emotion by what I was seeing all around me, in regards to masks, control and the deception of this hour. I turned the recorder on and attempted to capture some of the moment. We must be rightly discerning this hour.

In an hour when people are scouring the earth for answers, it seems that prophetic words, dreams and visions are around every single corner of present-moment Christianity. Be cautious friends. Be discerning. Let's talk about it.

Some commentary of several present-moment issues within humanity and the Church. What are you hearing the Spirit say in this hour?

So how do you do when things in life don't go your way? How mature are we when we're told "no"? Are we purposely training ourselves now to deny ourselves what we want so that we're postured to endure... to endure well, when the time comes? Let's find out.

What if some great catastrophe took place in five minutes and whatever your present-moment spiritual condition and vibrancy was what stuck and carried you into and throughout a heavy trial and testing season like you've never known? How would you fare? Are you ready now? This episode poses some thought-provoking questions toward this principle of readiness.

How many things in our lives, spiritually speaking, are stuck in the planning phase? We have great intentions, clear instructions and perhaps even great motivation, yet we're stuck. Today is the day to move into action!

A greatly condensed summary and addition to the recent 2.5 hour message titled, "Compassion in the Belly of the Fish". There is a CLEAR warning in the Book of Jonah to the Church for this very hour. We will ask, according to this text specifically, "is the Church in any way actually RESPONSIBLE for the chaos and lawlessness of this age?" * The original Youtube video from which this was extracted c...

This installment begins to bring the heavy correction to the Church of 2020. What is the purpose of the plant that Yahweh appoints? Why does He then send a specific worm to devour it? What does this mean to us today? Watch and find out this and more! (* The original Youtube video from which this was extracted can be viewed here .)

This part of the series continues a look into Jonah chapter 3. When Jonah finally yielded to delivering the word of the LORD, the people of Ninevah instantly believed. The present-moment word to the Church, is that We must expect the exact same response right now, in our age! (* The original Youtube video from which this was extracted can be viewed here .)

The series continues examining the entire Book of Jonah and how I hear a now warning to the global Church of this hour. This episode specifically discusses all of chapter 2 and moves into chapter 3, asking questions such as "did Jonah die a literal, physical death?" and "what did it mean for "Ninevah to be 'overthrown'?" (* The original Youtube video from which this was extracted can be viewed her...

The series begins with some background of Ninevah and Jonah's immediate disinterest in speaking God's oracle to them. The warning to the Church of 2020 begins to be set by establishing facts that are within this text. (* The original Youtube video that this was extracted from can be viewed here .)

Although short, I'm convinced that the entire Book of Jonah is clearly declaring a "now" word of warning to the Church of this hour. Specifically, how She responds to culture, current events, and most importantly, mankind. Please watch this series in its entirety and posture yourself to hear what the Spirit is saying within it. (* The original Youtube video that this was extracted from can be view...

All around us we see a progressional Creation. In the functions of natural days, set by sun and moon. In patterns of growth, both spiritual and natural. Even in Yahweh God Himself, we see how He extends Himself to man progressionally, for our good. In this episode, we examine many of these patterns.

In this hour I feel a strong call to the Church - be careful! Watch your words. Tame your tongue. Search your heart. We can carry the power of the Spirit and wield it well, but it will take discerning, wise men to do so rightly, in the pattern of Messiah.

After hearing a lyric within a song recently that states, "for the One who gave me life, nothing is a sacrifice". While I know what is being insinuated, this statement got me to thinking. This episode asks some questions about what it means to to follow Messiah, and to count the cost.

As with many things within the Church, people can wield the sword of the Law like a dagger meant to slay their neighbor. I believe, in this season of Pentecost, that it would do us well to see Exodus 20 in the same way that we see Acts chapter 2. The Law given to men is for our good, for our protection, our provision. It is a gift. This episodes discusses how we might begin to implement this viewp...

Part 2/Conclusion to the short series looking into the sobering reality that we must embrace in regards to God coming down to meet with man. Will you stand when the LORD "breaks forth"? Audio from a video found here .

Some discussion about the interesting parallels within these two Scriptures as well as some understanding towards people "breaking through" to Yahweh and His "breaking out" against the those who are not rightly prepared to be in His presence.

Let culture and current events come and go. Let our circumstances ebb and flow as they always do. It's time to be ones steady and set on one thing - being infatuated with the King Of Glory.

1 Peter 4 tells us that we should baffle those who are outside of the people of God, with our behavior. We should be distinct, considered odd even. We must come out and be separate.

As we examine the few details that we're given in regards to Yeshua's Ascension, we must stop and see what He was doing at the final moments of His earthly presence. Also, we'll discuss what those that were with Him were told to go and do, in order to apply these principles to our lives.

Paul shared with the Philippians his struggle to desire to be with both them and the Messiah. He longed for the greater (departing the Church and being in the presence of the King) yet wrestled with remaining alongside them, for their good. Some people can relate to this and see this as a valuable principle to apply as we walk alongside the brethren in the here and now - denying our own desires fo...

Just like in the natural, spiritual endeavors cost us something. Time, effort, discipline. We must mature and become learned students - learning from our patterns and experiences. Today, let us be found as ones who are willing to train ourselves to count the cost, in order for sanctification to continue its course in our lives.
