Dancing in the Rain episodes

  • Sword of the Spirit!

    The sword that Paul refers to here is:  Machaira, which is varied in length between 6 – 18 inches long. It was a common sword carried by the Roman Soldiers, in a hand-to-hand combat.  It is a principal weapon.

    It is the same weapon used by Peter, the night of Jesus being arrested, that he used and cut of the soldiers ears.

    ____

    Paul says, “The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”

    This is the defense and the offense.  This is the only tool, the spirit uses.

    • Graphae – The writings, the scripture in the written form.   When it talks about the sword of the spirit, it is not talking about Graphae…

    John 1:1 says, In the beginning was the word.  

  • Logas: It is the message (logic) of the book… the content is clarified to you, when we speak about it during the sermon.   You get the understanding of the word.

  • Rhema word of God, is the usage or the declaration or the utterance of the word…  It is revelation.

  • Know your Enemy!

    If Paul, speaks to us today – he will say the exact same thing… Draw your strength from the Lord!  We need to be mentally strong, when facing the tough situations in life.   There are so many wimpy Christians out – and we are not one of them.

    We are not talking about a phony Macho’ism… We need to be the strong mom, strong dad, strong husband and strong wife… That’s what Bible is talking about.

  • Helmet of Salvation

    How does your mind work?  For you or against you?

    Do we have healthy or unhealthy thinking patterns?   Helmet of salvation is about our thinking pattern.  

    John 16:33,  I have overcome the world.

    ______________

    Choose your helmet:

    Brain is the control center by the body, and so is the mind for the soul.   In other words, Mind is the spiritual expression of the brain.

    Soul governs the body.  If my body to go right, then the brain must tell that.  If I want my soul to go right – then the mind need to that.

    Brain/Mind needs to be protected and governed by the helmet.

  • Armor of the Lord (Part 1)

    Paul was tied to a Roman soldier everyday and every time, when he saw that – he must have been inspired to see, how God protects us, by making everything available to you and me.

    Average roman soldier – 70 – 80 lbs,   backpack about 60lbs.  – in all together,  it is about 120lbs. 

    • That’s why Paul starts to say, we need to have power to carry this much of weight.
  • The contest can be brutal….

    • Take unto you (again), the full armor of God…   Take it in the way you took it once…

  • Breaking the Strongholds!

    From time to time, in our life, that we will go through the battles… intensity may vary – but the battle is real.   

    Marriage could be in a rocky place? Or your business? Or disagreement with your children -  but the enemy is causing some headache?

    • If you are facing a battle, that is bigger than you – then, this message is for you…
  • There is someone in the line – who is fighting and fighting… but not seeing the victory – and asking God, what am I missing? Then, this message is for you…

    • This morning, we will meditate on what shall we do – when the battle intensifies?

  • Covenant#1: Edenic Covenant

    Genesis 2: 15 – 17 (Amp)

    15 So the Lord God took the man [He had made] and settled him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely (unconditionally) eat [the fruit] from every tree of the garden;

     17 but [only] from the tree of the knowledge (recognition) of good and evil you shall not eat, otherwise on the day that you eat from it, you shall most certainly die [because of your disobedience].”

  • Unclutter your Mind

    Philippians 4:6, 7 

    6 Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude.

    Tell him every detail of your life, 7 then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.

    #1:   Unclutter the physical environment

    • We saw how we need to unclutter the house, garage, desk and so on

    #2:  Unclutter your anxiety, worry and fear

    • Replace them with Prayer, Petition, Thanksgiving and requests known to God

    #3:  Unclutter the things that you love

    • Too much of those will lead to destruction as well.
  • We need to seek Him first – with all your heart, mind and soul.

  • How is your waiting coming along?

    The hardest part in the Christian life – is the waiting period… you know the promises, and you know that you are standing for the right thing – but you are not sure, because God is not answering your prayers…

    1Kings 18:38 says... 

    Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. 

    Our life is sooo fragile… in a moment’s notice, our life can be changed upside down… we can get to a place, of real desperation… our strength dries up…


    Why did he put his face between his knees…

    • This is birthing position in those days…
  • When you are ready to give a birth à Then you have to shut down the outside noise
    • Shut down your Facebook, Instagram, twitter, likes… tiktok, youtube,
    whatsapp, snapchat à 132+ social media sites…
  • We want to shut down every voice, that contradicts the word of God…
  • Elijah’s prayed carried mighty punch…

  • Don Carson – in his book says, Pray yourself into prayer.
    • Begin to pray in your prayer.
  • Prayer that grows as you pray. We have to be in it
  • While you are praying – you are praying for things that you have never thought – before you started praying.
  • There is an energy that takes over your prayer.
