Life Around "The Fire"

Relationships are at the core of what God has, is, and will be developing.
God is the Creator of this whole world of relationships.
No wonder He spends so much time dealing with it.
The first half of His 10 commandments involve our relationship with Him while the second half address our relatioships with one another.
The 2 greatest points wrapped up in His written Law can be summed up this way: Love God with your whole heart and love your neighbor like yourself.
So, we have devoted another episode to this whole aspect of relationships as they pertain to our ability to participate (or not) in this WAVE of GOD!!!

Is it "wine" or "whine"?
Which one is it?
It's all in how you say it and hear it.
That's communication 101.
Relationships...
Relationships are a mixed can of nuts.
When relationships are good there's nothing like them.
When relationships aren't there's nothing like them.
Relationships are at the core of eternity!
Relationships are vital.
Let's take another look at this part of God magnifying His Presence.

The "Basic" aspects of relationship with anyone (especially God) are good and very essential.
However, getting beyond the basics is where things start gettting even more intersting.
I love the basics about life with my wife.
But, I really love it when we get deeper and more involved with each other and life together.
The same goes for relationship with God.
So, this is where we are going to be parked for awhile... Moving into the deeper relationship water... Getting beyond the
Kingdom basics... Life in the Here and Now.
Kingdom Come!!!

Identity refers to our understanding of who we are.
Purpose refers to our understanding of our role in contributing meaningfully to our families, communities, and society.
The Way of seeing these things radicallychanges when our relationship with God and His Kingdom/Realm become our highest priority.
It is God gives  Who ultimately gives us our understanding of who we are and reveals to us how to live when He (not self, sin, or someone else) is the Center of our Life.
It's time to start living Life via a Higher Realm... The Kingdom/Realm of God!

Get ready, get ready!
It's time to "Come on up" and function in our true identity and the dunamis of our being immersed in the Holy Spirit.
We are using "Ephesus" as our first example of what happens when a group of people get "baptized" in the Holy Spirit.
The correlation to the world we live in today will be very interesting and life transforming if we let them.

Have you ever found yourself just being negative about everything?
I have.
I was there for about a week just a couple of days ago.
The last thing on my mind was God's Kingdom.
His plans and purposes were right there with His Kingdom... not on my list of thinking about things.
Earth and all of it's negative ways were occupying my mind.
I felt lousy and my attitude was either following or it was leading my feelings.
I couldn't really tell the difference.
Until...
In the deep quiet recessess of my heart I, more quiet than silence I heard God ask me, "Are you thankful you're not a stumbling drunk today?"
There was truth... I actually was thankful for being free from the bodage of alcoholism.
I began giving thanks... OUT LOUD.
In that pit of negativity I began to give thanks... OUT LOUD!
The atmosphere began to change along with my mood, thinking, and feelings.
In this episode we're going to be looking at the power of GIVING THANKS OUT LOUD!!!

Sometimes even good things can be messy... 
The breath of a newborn baby... Childbirth
A barn full of healthy oxen... Ox droppings.
Glorious demonstrative waves of God's Presence and Kingdom... Demons shrieking out, people weeping uncontrollably, laughing, trembling, falling into trances, speaking in tongues, swooning under God's power, etc.
Folks, get ready for things to take on a whole new appearance for awhile... God's Presence and Glory tend to create quite a stir.

Trying harder using our own limited ability to do good and live right is more than exhausting ... It's empty, meaningless, and in the end it leaves a peron hopeless and without having any real relationship God and others.
Being empowered by God's Spirit life to live His Way as citizens of His Kingdom is a life growing in love, joy, peace, patience, faithfulness, and self-control (not mere self-help).
Letting go of the hot dog called our old self and past way of living and instead laying hold of the T-bone steak of a Spirit-filled life is a no brainer!
Yet, there are times when even a good change seems daunting because it is unfamiliar.
Holding onto the inferior just because it's familiar is nothing less than bondage in the end.
God has called us to be free from our past way of living and allow Him to escort us up to function in a higher realm... a higher way of doing things.
Things look different the higher one gets.
God wants us to begin functioning in His Kingdom realm before we die.
We are sharing some of how to see the cords cut that hold us down that are attached to an old way of living.... actually an inferior way of living.
God wants the best for us because He is worthy of the best!
He has designed us to be consumed by and demonstrate the best.
Yeshua HaMashiach ... Jesus our Messiah is THE BEST!!!
