Episode #18: Kandole #1 – Unity in Christ 1. Our Blood is the Same

• Regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or background, we all share the same blood.
• Acts 17:26 – "From one man He made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth."
• Science and Scripture confirm that all humans are connected—we are all descendants of Adam.

2. Carnal vs. Spiritual Mindset

• If you judge people based on skin color, you are carnally minded.
  • Romans 8:6 – "To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace."
  • The carnal mind focuses on outward appearances, but the Spirit focuses on the heart.
• God does not look at appearances but at the heart.
  • 1 Samuel 16:7 – "Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

3. Differences Come from Culture and Environment, Not Skin Color

• Our differences are shaped by where we were born, our environment, and our experiences.
• Climate, culture, and geography shape physical traits, but they do not define our worth or identity.
• God created diversity as a beautiful part of His creation—not to divide, but to glorify Him.

4. God is Love, and Love Has No Color

• 1 John 4:8 – "God is love."
• Love is the defining characteristic of God, and true love does not discriminate.
• In Christ, there is no division—only unity.

• Heaven will be filled with people from every tribe, tongue, and nation.
  • Revelation 7:9 – "A great multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language stood before the throne and before the Lamb."

Final Thoughts

• Humanity is one blood—our differences are cultural, not based on skin color.
• A carnal mindset sees color; a spiritual mindset sees hearts.
• God's love is unconditional and unifying.
• True believers walk in love, not division.

Episode #17: Faith and Confidence in God 1. Different Kinds of Faith

Faith is not one-size-fits-all—Jesus spoke of various levels of faith:

1. Strong Faith – A faith that stands firm regardless of circumstances.
2. Weak/Little Faith – Matthew 14:31
   • Jesus said to Peter, "Oh you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
   • Peter started strong but doubted when he saw the storm.
   • Lesson: Fear weakens faith—trust in God despite the storm.
3. Great Faith
   • Matthew 8:10 – Jesus said the Centurion had great faith because he understood authority.
   • Matthew 15:28 – The Canaanite woman persistently believed in Jesus' ability to heal her daughter.
   • Lesson: Great faith trusts in God's authority and does not give up.
4. No Faith – Mark 4:40
   • In the storm, Jesus asked the disciples, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?"
   • Lesson: Fear and faith cannot operate together.
5. Unbelief – Matthew 13:58
   • Jesus could do no mighty works in His hometown because of their unbelief.
   • Lesson: Faith is necessary for the supernatural to manifest.

2. The Holy Spirit is Still Hovering Over the Earth

• Genesis 1:2 – "The Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."
• The Holy Spirit is still present today, ready to move on our behalf.
• We must simply reach out in faith and receive what we need.

3. Overcoming Weak Faith and Offense

• We should not be offended when someone points out weak faith.
• Jesus met every need with confidence—He knew His Father would provide.
• When we take offense at correction, we block our ability to receive.
• Faith is based on relationship—the closer we are to God, the stronger our faith.

4. Measuring Faith – Where Are You?

• We need to know where we are in faith to grow in it.
• We cannot judge God's Word by others' results.
  • Some may receive miracles, and some may not—but that does not change the truth of God's Word.
• We are not to judge others' faith.
  • We do not know their hearts (only God does).
  • Just because someone says they have faith doesn't mean they truly do.

5. The Power of Words and Knowledge

• Life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21).
• Hosea 4:6 – "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."
  • Without a deep understanding of God's Word, we cannot stand in faith.
• We live in a fallen world, which is why we face sickness and infirmities.
  • We do not get sick because of personal sin.
  • God does not punish us in Christ—Jesus already bore our punishment (Romans 8:1).

6. Understanding God's Judgment

• God punished people immediately in the Old Testament.
  • Example: Disobedience often resulted in death.
  • God's judgment was swift, clear, and final.
• Acts 5:1-11 – Ananias and Sapphira
  • They lied to the Holy Spirit, not the apostles.
  • They were in agreement in their deceit.
  • There was a revival happening—God's presence was strong.
  • Judgment was immediate, and there was no question as to why.
  • Lesson: In times of great outpouring, there is also great accountability.

7. Recognizing the Enemy's Attacks

• Many things we assume are God's judgment are actually Satan trying to take us out.
• The enemy wants us to believe God is punishing us to drive a wedge between us and God.
• John 10:10 – "The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly."
• Lesson: If something brings death, destruction, or confusion, it is from Satan—not God.

Final Thoughts

• Faith exists in different levels—weak, strong, great, and even unbelief.
• We must recognize where we are in faith and grow in our trust in God.
• Offense blocks our ability to receive from God.
• Our words shape our spiritual strength—speak life, not doubt.
• We do not suffer because God is punishing us—He already placed our punishment on Jesus.
• We must recognize the difference between God's discipline and Satan's attacks.
• Faith is about confidence in God's promises, regardless of circumstances.

Episode #16: The Cares of This World 1. Choosing the Better Thing – Mary vs. Martha (Luke 10:38-42)

• Mary sat at Jesus' feet while Martha was distracted by busyness.
• Jesus said Mary had chosen the better part—to be with Him rather than be busy for Him.
• Lesson:
  • We must put down the things we think we need to do and spend time with Jesus.
  • Prioritizing relationship over routine deepens our spiritual life.

2. The Parable of the Sower – Mark 4:3-20

• Jesus teaches that the Word of God is like a seed, and people respond to it differently.

1. Some seed fell by the wayside (Mark 4:4)

   • The birds (Satan) immediately stole it.
   • Lesson: We must protect the Word we hear so the enemy cannot take it.

2. Some fell on stony ground (Mark 4:5-6)

   • These people received the Word with excitement but had no foundation.
   • When afflictions and persecutions came, they gave up.
   • Lesson: A strong foundation in God's Word is essential for lasting faith.

3. Some fell among thorns (Mark 4:7)

   • The cares of this world, deceitfulness of riches, and lust for other things choked the Word.
   • Lesson: We must guard our hearts from distractions that keep us unfruitful.

4. Some fell on good ground (Mark 4:8)

   • These people heard, received, and applied the Word—producing 30, 60, or 100-fold return.
   • Lesson: A heart prepared to receive God's Word will experience abundant fruitfulness.

• Key Question: Are you one of those on the inside, given the knowledge of the Kingdom (Mark 4:11)?
  • If you spend time with the Father, you will be spiritually inside the mysteries of the Kingdom.

3. The Importance of Growing in the Word

• The Word is a spiritual truth that transforms us.
• It is our responsibility to make it grow strong in us.
• If Satan can steal the Word from you, you become:
  • Weak
  • Ineffective
  • Lifeless
  • Poor in spirit
• Satan tries to steal the Word immediately.
  • The longer it stays in you, the harder it becomes for him to remove.
  • The more the Word grows, the stronger you become and the more effective you are for the Kingdom.

4. How to Protect the Word

• Spend time in the Word daily.
  • This strengthens your spiritual foundation.
• When we spend time in the Word, we learn:
  • God's character – Who He is and how He loves us.
  • God's desires for us – His plan and purpose for our lives.
  • How to be spiritually strong – Walking in faith and victory.
  • Satan's tactics – Recognizing and resisting his attacks.
  • How to get the victory – Applying God's promises in our lives.

5. Taking Control of Our Thoughts – 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

• We need to bind evil thoughts and replace them with scriptural truth.
• Paul's Example in Prison
  • Paul rejoiced in prison despite his circumstances.
  • He didn't rejoice to get free—he got free because he rejoiced.
  • Lesson: Worship shifts our focus from our problems to God's power.

6. Living in the Joy of the Lord

• We rejoice because we love God—not just to receive something.
• Life with Jesus is amazing—He desires a personal, daily relationship with us.
• Jesus wants to hang out with us—not just be part of our prayers but part of our entire lives.
• God created the earth to operate by itself, but He desires to operate with us.
  • We are not just observers; we are partners with Him in His Kingdom.

Final Thoughts

• We must prioritize time with Jesus over busyness.
• The Word must be protected, nurtured, and applied in our lives.
• Satan will try to steal the Word, but the stronger it grows, the less power he has over us.
• Rejoicing in the Lord is a key to victory—not a response to victory, but a cause of it.
• A life centered on Jesus brings strength, peace, and fruitfulness in the Kingdo

Episode #15: Living in Worship and Walking in God's Presence 1. Understanding Hardships and Our Role in Them

• Most hardships are a result of our bad decisions.
  • Many struggles in life come from poor choices rather than God "allowing" suffering.
  • God offers wisdom and guidance, but we must listen and obey to walk in His protection (Proverbs 3:5-6).

2. Worship Brings God's Presence and Power

• When Israel spent time in worship, God moved.
  • Worship wasn't just a religious act—it was a gateway to God's presence.
  • Example: When Jehoshaphat and Israel worshiped, God fought their battle (2 Chronicles 20:22).

  • Worship is about relationship, not ritual.
  • It's about saying:
    • "God, You are amazing."

  • David worshiped with such passion that he was oblivious to his surroundings (2 Samuel 6:14-15).
  • True worship isn't about what others think—it's about being in awe of God.

4. Praying Without Ceasing – Staying Connected to God

• Paul said to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
  • This doesn't mean nonstop talking, but living in constant awareness and connection with God.
• Being filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of tongues makes this possible.
  • Praying in tongues allows you to pray beyond your natural understanding (Romans 8:26-27).
  • It keeps you spiritually sensitive and aligned with God's will.

5. Worshiping God for Who He Is, Not Just What He Gives

• Tell God how amazing you think His creation is.
  • Go into detail—acknowledge His beauty, wisdom, and design in everything around you.
• Worship God because He is God, not to receive something from Him.
  • If worship is only about getting something, it becomes transactional instead of relational.
• If you do something out of the ordinary, you can expect the extraordinary.
  • Worshiping beyond your comfort zone opens supernatural encounters with God.
  • Example: Paul and Silas worshiped in prison, and their chains broke (Acts 16:25-26).

6. Relationship Over Religion

• It's not works—it must come from desire.
  • Worship should be an authentic hunger to be with Him, not a checkbox on a to-do list.
• There is a difference between knowing about someone and knowing them.
  • Many people know about God but don't have a personal relationship with Him.

• Sin broke that relationship, but Jesus restored our ability to walk in fellowship with the Father (Romans 5:10).

2. The Glory of the Lord in the Old Testament

• In the Old Testament, the Glory of the Lord was the manifestation of God's power and presence.
• The Glory of the Lord appeared for two reasons:
  1. When Israel was in rebellion or disobedience
     • Example: Aaron's two sons brought unauthorized fire into the Tabernacle and died as a result (Leviticus 10:1-2).
  2. When Israel was in worship and awe of God
     • Example: At the dedication of the Tabernacle (Exodus 40:34-35).
• David's Example
  • When enemies came against David, he would worship and wait for God's instructions.

  • She cried out from far off.
  • She came closer and worshiped Jesus.
  • She challenged Jesus, refusing to give up.
  • Because of her faith, she received her miracle.
• Key Takeaway:
  • Fall in love with Jesus, seek Him, and "all these things" will be added to you (Matthew 6:33).
  • Don't turn relationship into a formula.
    • Christianity is not about checking off boxes (prayer time, Bible reading, etc.).
    • It's about knowing Him.

4. Relationship Over Works

• Our relationship with God is not based on works.
  • It's not about how many Bible verses you memorize or how much time you spend in prayer.
  • The closer you get to the Father, the easier it is to receive from Him.
• Example: Paul and Silas in Prison (Acts 16:25-26)
  • They worshiped because they loved God—not because they were seeking a miracle.
  • Their worship led to their deliverance—and even freedom for others.
• Example: Paul's Shipwreck (Acts 27)
  • Not only was Paul saved, but everyone on the ship was saved because of God's favor on him.

  • God desires to walk through life with us, just as He did with Adam (Genesis 3:8).

3. God's Love is Not Conditional

• Romans 9:13 – Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
  • "Hated" means "to love less"—not literal hatred.
  • God's love is for all His creation, but some choose not to follow Him.
• Romans 5:6 – While we were on Satan's plantation, God made a way for us to leave and join Him.
  • Even before we knew Him, God was working to redeem us.

  • Before salvation, we were separated from peace with God.
• God offered us peace while we were still sinners.
  • "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)

7. Faith – Trusting Without Feeling

  • "The just shall live by faith." (Romans 1:17)
• Faith is confidence.

• Neither God or the enemy are deaf
• Romans 8:25-27. We don't know how to pray, but the Holy Spirit searches out things for us, and prays though us through tongues.
• So, God, (the Holy Spirit), uses our spirit to pray to God (the Father) the perfect prayer, by us yielding our spirit and tongue to Him.
• Romans 8:28 God uses all those things together for our good. He is not using circumstances for our good.
• Re-cap
• Romans 8:3 the law was brought in to help man control the flesh.
• The law failed because the flesh was week
• Man was and is led around by the flesh.
• When you are led by the flesh you cannot please God Rom. 8:8
• When we are filled with the Spirit, we are not to be led by the flesh
• Through the Spirit we destroy the works of the flesh.
