Rise on Fire Ministries

Have you ever desired to have your own ministry, but didn't know where to begin? It can all seem very daunting. The truth is, we have all been called to ministry, and it's not complicated. Have our modern ideas of ministry convoluted the simplicity Yeshua modelled it to be?

Episode Notes There has been a recent season of burdens for many across the world. Join me as I talk about our great burdens, and how the Bible teaches us to deal with them, relating to this week's torah portion. All this, just in time for the day of rest! Have a wonderful shabbat! Torah Portion: Words / Devarim

Episode Notes It has baffled me that gossip has become such an acceptable part of culture, with no distinction visible between believers and the world. We have somehow come to ignore how strongly God has dealt with gossipers, withholding the Kingdom from them. It has become our ordinary entertainment where few bat an eye, which makes it all the worse. This sin divides and destroys. But it disguise...

Episode Notes Here it is! We have an exciting announcement to make regarding many upcoming changes that will affect Rise on Fire (in a very good way!)

Episode Notes I had the pleasure of recently being interviewed by Jeromy from Lantern Media & Ministry regarding evangelism. Join us in this packed discussion where we talk about the state of evangelism in modern America, who it's for, why it's important and how to get started! Check out Jeromy's Ministry

Episode Notes Balaam wanted something, and even though he pretended to be holy in speech, have good intent, and a desire for God's will, he only took on this appearance for his own agenda. He believed he could use God to get what he wants. While thinking, he was going to use God, God instead used Balaam. Instead of cursing Israel like Balaam desired, he ends up speaking some of the greatest blessi...

Episode Notes Have you ever thought you were following God, only to end up in a dry place? Even though you were sure you heard His voice, now you're doubting. "Did I hear wrong? Did I sin? Did God forsake me? God couldn't have possibly led me here!" But what if what you're facing is a test: And how you respond in your next move will either yield blessing or curse for you. Will you trust...

A survey by Barna-Group reports that 47% of practicing Christian millennials agree at least somewhat that it is wrong to share one’s personal beliefs with someone of a different faith in hopes that they will one day share the same faith. This shocking statistic is a part of a larger cultural shift away from tolerance. As the world around us grows more intolerant of opinions that are different, and...

Episode Notes What is your heartstyle? The Pharisees in Yeshua's day had a large flaw: They were "clean" in their presentation, yet their hearts were evil. This compromise of men is still very much alive today, even among believers. Has our movements of clean eating, commandment keeping believers sometimes become more focused on the outward lifestyle, neglecting the inward heartstyle? Pe...

Episode Notes Are you His Bride? Will you water every camel and follow Eliezer back to a foreign land like Rebecca did for her bridegroom? It is the season for an outpouring of God's Spirit more than ever. The Holy Spirit has descended upon the Earth to gather the Bride of Christ, test her heart, adorn her, and lead her to her Bridegroom. Many are living in the gift of Truth given at the first Pen...

Episode Notes This year, I got COVID! When I did, I completely lost my sense of taste, and the Father spoke to me about it. He is calling a new breed of believer: Those who will be the salt of the Earth, never losing their flavor! Are you the type of person that people want to taste like or be around, because of the attraction of the Holy Spirit? We must taste different from the world - not lukewa...

Episode Notes What's the real reason Jonah ran? Sometimes it's not just about running from a calling, but running from a people you don't truly want to see reached - because they're unclean, they're unrighteous and most undeserving. Jonah thought of himself as more holy, more righteous and more deserving than Nineveh. Since he saw himself as better, he decided to ignore God's call. Ironically, Jon...

Episode Notes Raising kids is hard as it is. And now many are falling away from the faith as they grow up. But why? While there are many reasons, and it certainly isn't always the fault of parents, sometimes it is, and sometimes the reason is apparent: Whether the gospel truly is preached and lived, or whether something else is.

Episode Notes When you study the greatest miracles of the Bible, you discover a pattern: Most of them took place between people with great disunity. Whether it's Jesus & the Samaritans, Peter & Cornelius or even the upper room of Acts 2. Holy Spirit is unifying, destroying the barriers of worldly disunity, and was sent to reverse the curse. If we're willing to go where and to whom Jesus we...

Episode Notes As a teenager, PD dropped to his knees asking God for the Truth, and God opened his eyes - exposing man-made tradition and revealing truth. But as the years went on, PD realized his heart didn't have the love of Yeshua, nor did his life manifest the wonders of God he read about in the Bible. Finally, he landed on his knees again asking God for His Spirit. What would happen next would...

Episode Notes I was 8 years old when God turned my life upside down. I had spent my early childhood years in a very normal, non-denominational Christian church. One day, the Father revealed to my mom that the so-called "Jewish Feast Days" were actually all pointing towards Jesus. This began our journey of surrendering everything that had previously made sense to step into the unknown. As...

Episode Notes The world is really good at telling us what we're NOT good at! Many of us feel we have weaknesses, weaknesses so large they're keeping us from serving God the way we want to. But as for many things in God's Kingdom, the concept of "Strengths & Weaknesses" is upside down. In God's Kingdom, your weakness has become your most prized possession. In this teaching, we'll disc...

Episode Notes Whenever we talk to others about God, one of the main questions they will ask is, why is Jesus the Way? There are hundreds of religions! What makes yours special? Many have mistakenly believed the lie that there is no sure way to know, that there is insufficient evidence for The Way. But God has left evidence! Join me as we walk through some of the evidence God has left for us, so yo...

Episode Notes One of the questions each of us will ask ourselves is: Does it really matter if there is a God? If He exists, should that have some impact on how I live my life? Often these questions are avoided, for it seems easier to just pretend like He doesn't exist, even if it means being intellectually dishonest with ourselves. We are sometimes led by our own motives regarding what we choose t...

Episode Notes The problem with the Great Commission is not that people don't know what it is, as much as that we just aren't good at doing it. Being a good witness is not easy, but it does bring freedom. In this short video, we address how to be a witness of the love of God to everyone you meet. Let it be the Great Commission of your life and not the Great Omission.

Episode Notes Not a house of great teaching, a house of great dancing, or even a house of great miracles. But a house of prayer for all nations. Likewise, Yeshua called us to become stones making up that House of Prayer. But why is it so important and what does it practically mean?

The Crucifixion story is riddled with pictures of man's need for a savior, yet the pervasive belief that we don't need one. Men have their plans, their own "messiahs", but none of it solves the true problem of separation from God. It was there where Barnabas was chosen, Judas betrayed Yeshua, and Israel took pleasure in their murder. But this terrible story on the surface would start res...

Episode Notes Multitudes of Christians are returning to the Biblical feasts such as Passover this year! But wait, is circumcision required to celebrate the feast? When we discover what the Bible says, we might also stumble into something AMAZING Yeshua said and did about celebrating this feast. Have a blessed upcoming Passover!

Is it the American Dream, or can it become a Spiritual Drought? A uniquely South African perspective on American Christianity.

Episode Notes You know the Father, you know the Son, but do you know the Holy Spirit? Join PD and Nathan as they discuss the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, and where God is taking His body today.
