The Kingdom Cowboy

Summary: It’s amazing how many good Christians have a fear or apprehension when it comes to being lead by the Holy Spirit to pray for and encourage someonewho has a real need. A lot of the reason is because there aren’t more people who are willing to be equipped to do this. They feel that its up to the pastor or a few others who are supposed to do the ministry. You, as an individual, will never gr...

Summary: Honoring God in all situations that we face can bring such a simplicity to our lives. It’s a human, natural trait to make anything we face complicated and hard to understand. But, by honoring the Father, we start to find how simple and uncomplicated He really is, and how much He wants to move through us to do the supernatural without us getting complex or prideful in any way.   Show Notes...

Summary: We as Christians are used to doing the same things that have been done for many generations. However, the Lord is beginning to show Himself in new, unorthodox ways in this day. A great example happened at a Monday night football game when Damar Hamlin just dropped to the ground after a play. The report said that he died on the field but through the prayers of millions of people watching t...

Summary: The church will never be the church, which is us, until we, as God’s people, start connecting with the Father and start maturing in Him. That means opening up to the leading of the Holy Spirit to bless people, whether it’s an encouragement for someone to receive the Lord into their heart, or praying with and lifting up someone who comes to you for help. You don’t have to be some high-powe...

Summary: There are so many Christians in this day that don’t even believe in healings of any kind. That is definitely not what we believe here at Trinity Fellowship. The challenge is to keep praying for healings when you don’t see everyone healed. It is easy to play it safe, but it’s another thing to go after it and really believe God, even when things look impossible. Let’s become like little chi...

Summary: So may Christians have a fear of stepping out and praying of lifting others up, whether it is at the golf course, in a group of guys drinking coffee, or at your workplace. That’s why this teaching of equipping the saints is so important. There are so many opportunities out in life, where people are reaching out for help, but not many Christians are really willing to step out and take the...

Summary: Being equipped for the work of the ministry is something that the whole body of Christ should be concerned for, not just a few pastors, elders or deacons, which is something that the Bible Belt promotes. All Christians ought to be matured and prepared to seize the opportunity to encourage, pray for, or stand with people who come to you, reaching out for help.   Show Notes:     • The main...

Summary: The foundational ministries- apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, were never sent to do all the ministering in a church, but rather were created to equip and help all the believers mature and come to the place where they become the ones to get out and do the ministry. Without all five of the foundational ministries, most churches will tend to settle on a much lower level...

Summary: How can any of us even begin to speak the truth in love, as Jesus was able to do, without really being equipped to do so? God has to put these abilities in us and that comes through this equipping process, worked deep within our hearts.   Show Notes: Two things keep coming to me. The number of signs and wonders are not happening near as much in the church as they should be happening. And,...

Summary: It was never meant for a pastor and/or a few elders to do all the ministering in a church. That is totally a Bible Belt concept that someone started a long time ago, and the people just got used to it. The five-fold ministries were given so that all of us can be equipped to go out and talk to people, bless and pray for them and point them to the Lord. The church was never meant to be full...

Summary: It’s one thing the be saved, or born again, where you know you are assured a place in heaven. But why would you want to stop there, when the door is completely open for us to start talking to Him and listening for what He has to say back to us? That’s what starts cultivating a personal, close relationship with the Father. God is not this distant being in the sky who cannot be related to....

Summary: Being saved, or born again, is not the complicated action that many make it out to be. It say’s in Revelation 3:20, that the Lord stands at the door and knocks. All we really have to do is just open the door and receive Him into our hearts. Very simple! After that, it is our responsibility not to dwell at that initial salvation experience, but to keep exposing ourselves, with the help of...

Summary: There are so many people who have accepted Christ into their hearts, but don’t attend church. Sometimes it is because of past bad experiences with church people. You can be a part of the Kingdom and not go to church, but if it is true that we are all compared to body parts, like Paul talked about in 1 Corinthians 12:12, aren’t we robbing the body of it’s wholeness if we don’t come togethe...

Summary: As we read through the New Testament, you can find many places where both John the Baptist and Jesus talked about the Kingdom of Heaven and it being at hand and it is within us. This is why the church needs to be putting much more emphasis on it. The church and the Kingdom are very intertwined. One of the parts of the kingdom message is how important it is that we open up and allow the Fa...

Summary: There are so many Christians who accept Christ as their Savior and get born again, but end up not doing much with it. They don’t understand that salvation is just the start of the game, and not the end of the game. To be a real player in God’s Kingdom requires much teaching and training, even to be able to wear a uniform, let along play in the game. That’s why we are not only to be born a...

Summary: It's easy to compare sports with God's kingdom. Alot of us start when we are young and, just like parents who encourage us and cheer us on, the Kingdom is full of people that do the same, to see us grow and become all that we can be in God. It's just getting off the bench and getting in the game that makes all of this start to happen.    Show Notes: There's a time that we have to get off...

Summary: Pride is a very ugly thing, especially when it attaches to those who feel like they have received a lot from the Lord, or have accomplished much in the name of the Lord. The only antidote for pride is to have a close relationship with the Father, where you are spending time together, both communicating and listening to what He is saying to you.   Show Notes: It’s so important for people,...

Summary: So many Christians today are focused more on what they know conceptually, rather than what they have actually experienced in a real relationship with God, the Father. That’s why God puts us through trials and testing (if we allow Him to), to form us, shape us and perfect us into our true identity in Him. The big questions are, how badly do we want this relationship with Him? And, how deep...

Summary: It is really important that the church wakes up to what God wants to bring on the earth at this time. The Awakening is happening now, just like what happened when Jesus came on the scene with the religious organization of that day. We can all be partakers of this Awakening, but we must shake off the old traditions that have been holding us back. It’s through our opening up to being born a...

Summary: This teaching on the Awakening is both practical and simple. It is bound to bring changes to what the church has been used to doing for so long, and none of us should miss it. Therefore, the church, especially its leaders, must wake up, or the churches they are pastoring and leading could very well miss what God wants to do in this hour.   Show Notes: The Lord has given Andy the ability t...

Summary:   The church is not just a building. “The church is an ever changing, ever evolving, supernatural, called out and victorious kingdom family of like minded believers in Jesus, working together and known for their love for one another, bonded together by the common thread of agape love and the unity of the Holy Spirit, who are commissioned and empowered by the Father with the authority to p...

Summary:   The Awakening and the Kingdom of God already exist and are moving, but it takes a real spiritual awareness to see it manifesting in the earth at this time. As God’s people, all it takes is a desire and an obedience to see it start happening more every day. When Jesus was teaching the disciples to pray, He was loosing His Kingdom on earth, as it is in heaven. That means we don’t have to...

Summary:   God the Father wants so much to talk to us, but we have to have a real desire to hear what He is speaking. It takes time and a discipline to slow down long enough to connect with Him and learn how to enjoy His presence. In this podcast, we have been given some really practical steps on how to come into His presence, eliminate the distractions that come to keep us from hearing Him, and d...

Summary: God, our Father, has a great desire to talk to us and commune with us. The problem for us is getting to a place where we are able to hear Him. This podcast is geared to help us get to that place, by using simple tools like the Calm App to teach us how to get past and/or eliminate distractions that keep us from really hearing what He has to say to us.     Show Notes: God speaks in all kind...

Summary: When it seems like God has withdrawn from us or is being silent with us, it is seldom because He is mad at us or that we have done something wrong. As we get deeper into our relationship with Him, He starts speaking to us in various ways. But when we go through a time of not feeling His presence or hearing His voice, we can start to get very introspective. It is likely that God just wants...
