Life Around "The Fire"

Funny thing... I like things that are natural ... I love nature ... I love little children ... I love good times with friends and family.
However, I have this hunger to experience and be involved in more... the supernatural.
I'm not alone.
So, under the guidance of Holy Spirit we're going to be devoing the next 3 episodes, including this one to the mysterious ways of God and our involvement in them both individually and as groups of people.

Trust is foundational to all things.
Without trust, there is no love.
Without trust there really is no reason to do anything.
Even sitting on a chair requires trust.
God trusts Himself... that's where it starts.
Trust is in the very air/ethos of God's kingdom.
It's one of his "Ways".
Trust is also intrinsic to worship.
When Satan tried tempting Jesus to worship him he was really saying, "Trust me more than your Father and I'll gladly give all of this world and its riches to you."
We are looking into the "Way" of trust in this episode... Come on up and see!

Experiencing the freedom and joy of being free from the heavy weight of living a life of discouragement is nothing less than divine.
Providing someone with the positive motivation and attitude of having the true courage to do something they thought was just wishfull thinking is divine as well.
Encouragement is actually an attribute/way of God... God, by nature, is encouraging.
We live in a world that is often filled with people trying to cut one another down.
The Kingdom of God is not like that.
Through relationship with God and His Life in us we can be a people of encourement... giving courage to one another to continue to pursue the vision in our hearts.

This episode offers a brief update involving an accident our host, David Huotari, expeinced a couple of months ago.
What started out a simple sore knee turned into a 3 1/2 hour major plastic surgery that was done to repair his knee.
The good news is He's feeling better and back in the studio.
The even better news is the stuff God taught him while he was "out of commission" for the past two months.
So, without further delay... Come and get it!

This episode will provide you with an introduction into a very significant aspect of spiritual growth.
After awhile we need to not only understand but put into practice things that are more than just looking at how things once were or how they might be someday.
The Kingdom of God is now and it is at hand. 
We are called to function as citizens of that Kingdom in more than ethical ways.
We are called to demonstrate the supernatural dynamics of the Life of God in a natural, tangible way and supernatural way.
We are called to live out what we know.
The meat is in the doing!
Fath without works is dead.
People who are filled with the love of God, consumed by His Spirit will do exploits in the here and now as well as throughout eternity.
We are going to grow up, take risks, and do what we have been talkning about.
God will be glorified as we are united in what we do and acknowledge that we are vessels and He is the Source.
However, as vessels, we are involved in doing things beyond our previous comfort zone (and I'm not talking about programmed evangelism).
Acts of the Kingdom being lived out as we undrstand and exhibit the ways of the LORD as His waves of glory continue to crash upon us.
These are the days!!!

There's nothing fancy about this podcast episode.
In fact, it's rather simple and sincere (childlike).
Things that make our heavenly Father smile when we try learning His ways aren't necessarily polished and prestine.
It's like a clothesline production put on in the backyard while the grown ups watch as kids express themselves without a lot of bells and whistles.
God loves it when we try learning new things and ways concerning Him and His Kingdom.
That's what's going on in this episode as we recorded an attempt to call 120 people from around the world to take a few minutes and out loud and on purpose declare the greatness of our God and our loving devotion to Him at 2:00pm EST on May 20, 2024.
When we do things like this , especially together, unique and powerful things take place (even if it's on a shoestring budget).
Sometimes things happen right away.
Other times down it's the road when we least exoect it.
Either Way, God is so good and His love endures forever!

Out loud and on purpose.
There's something powerful about what we say out loud and how we say it that has a transforming influence in the world that we live in.
Our spoken words are messengers of either life or death.
We have been given the ability, in many cases way more than we may think concerning a very powerful thing at the very tip of our tongues.
With that revelation in mind we are calling for a 120 people, filled with the Spirit of God, to declare together at 2:00pm EST, today, May 20, 2024 the greatness of the LORD out loud and on purpuse.
God is One and His love endures forever!
Let the knowledge of the glory of the LORD cover the Earth just as the waters cover the Sea!

The story of the boy who cried, "Wolf" is a classic tale of not saying things just for the sake of trying to get attention.
Eventually people stop believing you.
The same can take place concerning things pertaining to God and His Kingdom and what's happening on the Earth.
We can become harderned to hear things because we don't want to be suckers or fools again and again.
However, the danger in becoming too hardened is that we can miss the call to experience the real thing.
Like the story in the boy who cried, "Wolf!"
God is doing something unique right now and He wants us to be part of it collectively not just as individulas.
Let the past be the past and be available to experience the present.

Money, Realtionships, and Power/Control are the trifecta of lifes great challenges.
We'll be looking at those three things and how the play into us "Gowing up before we grow old."
As we mature in these three key areas of life our collective ability to function as one and live in unity escalates us into higher dimensions of living.

One day it's sunny and the next day it's snowing.
That's how it was growing up in Minnesota.
One day Berlin was one city and the next day it was two (East Berlin & West Berlin).
That's what it as like growing up in Germany.
One day Jesus left planet Earth alive and ten days later Holy Spirit comes here in His name.
That's what life is like on this planet.
Changes take place on this planet.
We are in a big one right now.
Get ready, get ready ...
