Life Around "The Fire"

Insecurity along with feelings of rejection and uncertainty create an air around a person that seems to invite the very things they're afraid of.
Getting left out and overlooked with those sickening feelings of self-doubt will suck the countenance of life right off a person's face.
Intimidation and unworthiness creep only to catch in your throat while you are  talking or singing.
Living life off balance  and on your heels feels more like mere existing rather than really living.
There is another way and it's not just through endless self-help programs and therapy sessions.
Those can be helpful options and perhaps useful to a degree.
However, the core of real help is not in self improvement.
It's actually in dying to the  self-centered life and living a life focused on the love of Yeshu'a/Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit He has for you.
Stay tuned and catch the wave of The Helper.
He's calling out for you to come on in and ride the Wave of His Presence and power.

Wouldn't it be strange if one of the sweaty, work handkerchiefs taken from the Apostle Paul that were later placed upon a sick person who got healed  could talk?
What would be even more bizarre is if that same talking handkerchief said, "Did you see how I healed that person with my supernatural powers?"
I realize how simplistic that sounds.
That's exactly why I wrote it.
It would be bizarre for ny person to think and say the same... "Look what I did; supernaturally."
The only way life functions best is when God is central in all ways and in all things.
The centrality and supremacy of Christ is for mature believers to meditate on and embrace in times of intimate worship of God.
It's when we recognize, experience, and agree upon the fact that it is by Him, through Him, and for Him that all things exist that our lives develop and mature  as we take on our fullest meaning and purpose into living eternally together being one with Him.
He is the reason that the sweaty, work handkerchief can being used as a healing agent just like it is for anything or anyone else.
He alone is highly favored and mightily exalted to the Highest High!!!

When do we get to do "the stuff" ,,, a guy once asked an old "church member"?
The old member asked, "What stuff"?
"You know, raise the dead, heal the sick, cast out demons ... you know, the stuff Jesus did", the "unchurched" young guy said.
"Oh, we don't believe in doing that anymore. We just study about it and sing some songs about Him", the old timer said.
"And I gave up doing drugs for this? , replied the young man.
You get the point.
Doing Church or having another One Man Show (in the name of Jesus) we watch  produces spiritually immature people.
Watching the one man show (in the name of Jesus) is like watching someone else eat and saying you're full or doing more church stuff is like eating the cereal box and saying that it's just fine Ithink i'll have some more.
Thank God He has more in store for us both Now and after we die than just watching someone else eat or saying that the cereal box tastes just fine.
This episode is devoted to us "being" individuals as well as a collective group of people that are growing into Christ-likeness and actually "being" equipped to be doing what He did and is doing right now!

There are several things that prophetic ministry provides:
1) Speaks the mind of God
2) Discerns the times and seasons
3) Provides warnings from God
4) Speaks on current stuations or state of affairs
5) Points people to the truth
We're providing a current example of that in this podcast episode.

With everything going on around us it's easy to ask, "What in the world is God up to these days?"
I would never venture to totally answer that question.
My pat-grade isn't that high.
However, I do know that one of His top priorities is developing/maturing and uniting/unifying the Ecclesia/Church.
The Father is busy preparing a Bride for His Son.
We, who are the Ecclesia, are the Bride of Christ.
Jesus prayed that we would be one as He and the Father are one.
God will answer His prayer.
One of the main things God is doing these days is growing us up before we grow old!
He is maturing us from the inside out (by His Spirit).

Some things concerning us having healthy relationships can be a real mystery.
Men understanding women and women understand men.
Parents understanding children and children understanding parents.
Emloyers understanding employees and employees understanding employers.
I think that is a good starting place to explore some of the mysteries and the mystery solving of relationships among us Earthlings.
In this episode "Robert" is going to open up and share some of the helpful insights and truths he has discovered while attending the Higher Educational Institute Known As "THE SCHOOL OF  HARD KNOCKS" in hopes that it will help us solve some of the mysteryies we have found in these relationships!

As a kid do you remember getting a "side ache" while you were running for a long time or playing real hard?
Did you stop running or playing?
Sometimes I would.
Until ...
Until, one day I kept just decided to keep on  running and the side ache went away and then I got my second wind and Icould keep on running for miles (if I wanted to).
The same type of thing happens in life when we get older ... just in different ways.
We get uncomfotable with certain spiritual disciplines because we get a "side ache" we call it quits.
It's called shot-termitus
It's most common among quitters.
The result of this condition is they remain in a stunted state of existance ... Until
Until the remedy for cure is taken by moving beyond the pain and the temptation to quit.
The pain goes away and the personal and corporate growth ensues.
The benefits far outweigh the pain.
We'll be taking time over the next few episodes to cover the spiritual growth quality we will simply call, "Until".

I once saw a strong, grown, man publicly sob because he just couldn't find the words to adequately express what heaven looked and smelled like when he expereinced it after a near-death encounter with God.
I wasn't transported to any heavenly realm  but God did come and visit me during the course of the past 2 days and nights in a very unique Way.
I have scarcely slept a wink (and I love me my sleep time ... LoL).
I must admit that I am constrained by the love of Christ and compelled by His Presence to share with you what He has so clearly and heavily placed in my heart.
Simply and profoundly,  Selah.

In a letter that the Apostle Paul wrote to a Church in Corinth in chapter 2:1-5 he reminds these folks of something that was very important for them to recall at that time and it is very important and relevant for us to hear and recall some of those very types and things today. 
The Rhema of Gods Message from the Ruach Hakodesh is as follows:
"My brothers and sisters, when I first came to proclaim to you the secrets of God, I refused to come as an expert, trying to impress you with my eloquent speech and lofty wisdom. For while I was with you I was determined to be consumed with one topic - Jesus, the crucified Messiah. I stood before you feeling inadequate, filled with reverence for God, and trembling under the sense of the importance of my words. The message I preached and how I preached it was not an attempt to sway you with persuasive argunements but to prove to you the almighty power of God's Holy Spirit. For God intended that your faith not be established  on man's wisdom but by trusting in His almighty power."
When you listen to this podcast episode keep those words and that Message in the forefront of your mind.
Our Guest Speaker/Teacher, Tracy Perez, is going to present to us things that will cause us to grow spiritully from the inside out ... growing up before we get too old.
God has something unique to say to you in this Message ... 
So, let's give Him the floor so that He can share His heart within our hearts and minds.
Shalom and Selah...

I've had the privilege of sitting under some of the best teaching from the most gifted and intelligent teachers in the world.
I've listened to God speak through some men and women that made me wonder if they were aliens because their minds and hearts were so full of Truth.
Dr. Ed Bez, who just so happens to be my Rabbi here in Jacksonville, Fl at Zerah Avraham is our guest speaker, live in the studio today is one of those type of folks..
He ranks in my top 5 of all time teachers (Biblical and Non-Biblical Included).
You are in for a real treat.
Get your shoes on  and get ready to apply what you learn in this episode so that we can grow up spiritually before we grow old.
