Rise on Fire Ministries

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...

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 didn’t do the...

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...

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 |...

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 actual...

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?  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...

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 they’re 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...

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 en...

Many of us have read the verse in Matthew 7:23 , "And then will I declare to them, ‘I 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 certa...

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...

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...

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....

Episode Notes What did Yeshua mean when he told his disciples to “preach the Gospel”?  Do we need to “preach” 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? It’s easier than you’d think!

Episode Notes “Believe in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture and thou shalt be saved?” Recently we were contacted by a concerned viewer who had been told that if they don’t 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,...

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...

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? Torah Portion: Va'etchanan | I pleaded | ואתחנן

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...
