Fire On Your Head

This week we interview Praying Medic, the author of Divine Healing Made Simple for our first of two episodes. We start of chatting about blogging, and discuss how we met online which led to our guest discussing what inspired him to write his book and how long the process took him.

Why are some people not healed, and why do others who are genuinely healed sometimes lose their healing later? I think you will really appreciate Praying Medic's approach to this delicate subject.

Also we discuss the importance of testifying of what God has done in our lives.

This week I was privileged to have on the podcast Dan Silva, a fellow blogger and author of the fairly new book, It's All About Jesus: What They Never Told You in Church.

I enjoyed talking to Dan. I've been following his site for a few years, along with his Facebook page and have enjoyed the posts and articles he's written. I have even more respect for him after hearing more about his journey from Sunday churchianity, to burn out, to a renewed passion for God and the message of his love.

Check out this week's episode and hear us discuss whether the message of grace truly is a license to sin as some claim 'grace teachers' are proclaiming. We also discuss a recent article our regular guest Stephen Crosby wrote that's been getting some buzz on social media.

The article we discussed in the latter half of the show today: Grace Does Not Need Balancing, by Dr Stephen Crosby.

There is no Christianity without experiencing God. Yet so many people admit that they have a difficult time experiencing God's presence or hearing God's voice. Why is this and how can we fix that in our own lives?

This week we have Eric William Gilmour on the podcast and he passionately shares about cultivating a union with Christ and walking in such an intimacy with Him. We discuss Eric's ministry, Sonship International, as well as his books Burn: Melting Into the Image of Jesus, and Union: The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God in which Eric tells us is an expansion of one of the concepts from Burn.

There's no pre-nuptual agreement in Christ, both the Bride and Groom share the same assets, no matter who brought the most in to the union. We are made what we are in Christ because of everything Jesus made us. Likewise, there is no Christianity without experiencing God, as Eric relates that the Bible is not meant to merely be a recipe book, but a source of food.

We need to hear God's voice and not just read His book. No relationship works without communication; how can ministers of the Gospel affect other peoples' lives if they don't even believe you can hear God's voice and hear from Him personally?

In this episode we discuss the importance of experientially walking in the Spirit.

This week Dave Edwards and Steve Bremner catch up over skype and share some testimonies on the power of the Holy Spirit. Then, rather quickly we get around to discussing dream interpretation and "memory stones" and how easily the Holy Spirit wants to show us things and use us to minister to the world around us.

We also give a brief Old Testament history lesson about why it was so devastating when the enemies of Israel destroyed the temple of the Lord.

This week we interview Art Thomas, missionary evangelist and author of the new book Spiritual Tweezers: Removing Paul's "Thorn in the Flesh" and Other False Objections to God's Will for Healing. He is also co-director of a new movie called Paid in Full: Physical Healing documentary.

So, as you guessed it, we talked about divine healing, one of our favourite subjects on this podcast, but we focused more on discussing Paul's Thorn in the Flesh.

Questions we discussed:

Why isn't everybody healed?

What about Timothy's frequent stomach problems?

What was Paul's Thorn in the Flesh?

Why does it take a long time for some people to receive healing?

Plus Art shares some personal testimonies and struggles.

This week we're privileged to have as a guest Jesse Birkey, author of the book Life Resurrected: Extraordinary Miracles Through Ordinary People. Jesse shares with us several testimonies and stories that led him to write the book as well as encourage the listener that you don't need to be a special leader or pastor in order to lay hands on the sick and see the dead raised.

Jesse is also one of the stars in the new documentary "Dead Raiser".

Be sure to get a copy of Jesse's book and watch the movie.

Join me, Steve Bremner as I interview fellow healing author Joshua Greeson, author of God's Will Is Always Healing: Crushing Theological Barriers To Healing.

The two of us discuss what motivated us to write our books, including the 20 year journey that resulted in Josh's book.

Here's a list of questions I asked him and we discussed:

• Why can we be so certain God's will is to heal, when we may have lost loved ones to cancer or diseases when they were believing for a breakthrough?
• Is faith always necessary to see a healing? Or is it automatic?
• How do we minister healing to the sick?
• Is it necessary to ask someone their permission before laying hands on them or praying for them in faith? Does the "healee" need to want to be healed?
• Do we need to wait for a leading from the Holy Spirit?
• Does God truly receive glory the more we suffer for Him in sickness and diseases?
• What is the point of changing our mind about something such as healing? OK, so we decided to change our beliefs about divine healing and God's will, so then what?
• Do you have to grow in your Christian walk before God can use you to heal the sick?
• How does Matthew 7:21-23 apply to healing and our character in the midst of working miracles?
• When Jesus told us we'd do greater miracles in his name, was that just figurative?

I also asked Josh what he tells people who do believe in healing or who loved his book, but yet they are still sick, in pain and otherwise, unhealed. What's the deal with that?

Join Steve Bremner and David Edwards as they discuss micro and macro revelations and share the things the Lord has been revealing to them out of the Word of God. Steve also shares some wedding updates. Basically just another episode where we both were on skype and got talking and recorded it not knowing where the Holy Spirit would take us.

We also pondered how come Israel refused to let God speak directly to them but begged Him to have Moses mediate between them when the Lord clearly was passionate about relationship with them.

Join Steve Bremner this week as he discusses the taboo subject of money in the church with Dr Stephen R. Crosby. Dr Crosby recently published a book called "Money & The Church", and like usual, we get down to business killing some sacred cows.

But, lest you think this is just going to be a rant against practices that we think are bad and unbiblical in the Body of Christ regarding how money is acquired and used, we also encourage a different approach. One that is the source of life. We spend some time dismissing lies that many Christians have about money, but also how God has laid out "living and giving" in the Bible.
