If you were born a fish you would swin underwater and do fishy things.
That would be your culture.
If you are born a human you would breath the air and live above the water and do things that are human.
That would be your culture.
If you were born-again into the Kingdom of God you would be a new breed and do things like God while living in human flesh.
That's where we are in this podcast series.
Things are going to continue to get very interesting so take off your seat buckles and get ready to fly!

Being beaten over the head by a book is an abusive act if not a criminal one.
Yet, people get beaten over the head by men and women who do so with their mouths using the Bible.
The abusive, harsh, legalistic words that come from the very mouths that are entrusted to speak the truth is absolutely wrong.
Our hearts go out to anyone who has ever been spiritually abused.
You are not crazy and you're not alone.
We say all of that because we are entering into a portion of the Bible that has been misused for centuries and is still being handled like a billy club.
Ephesian chapters 5 & 6 contain some of the best insights to living that have ever been written.
No wonder they have been twisted to hurt people.
The Devil wants to keep people in bondage.
He will even try misusing the very Word of Life in order to do so.
We are going to pull the mask off the religious pride of evil and set the hearts and minds of men, women, and children around the world... In the mighty name of Yeshua Hamasiach/Jesus Christ our LORD!
Love never fails.

There are over 25 different diet plans to choose from and each one claims to be "THE ONE".
There are well over 500 different television cable channels to choose from these days.
There are more than 45,000 different Christian denominations to pick from in todays world.
The point being: There's a lot of competition for our attention and it's becoming  more and more challenging to maintain focus.
Yet, we become like the very thing we focus our attention on the most.
Beholding and becoming.
Part of spiritual maturity involves us being able to maintain focus... focus on Jesus Christ.
Focus takes time, energy, and money = commitment.
Being commited to developing and growing inrelationship.
Relationship with God and relationships with one another.
We're going to take a few minutes and focus our attention in on Jesus and His Kingdom in Ephesians 4:17-32.

The word "HOPE" can and oftn does  does carry with it many meanings and ideas about life and how things happen.
Saying, "I hope I don't get some morphed strain of Covid-19" is different than saying, "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness".
In this podcast episode you will both hear and feel what Jesus (and mary) have to say  about God and His definition of "HOPE"!

We become like what/Who we behold.
The frequency of how we vibrate and send out our signals is determined by what we dwell on and allow to dwell within us
The people, places, and things we impact and attract  are determined in a great degree by the signals/vibrations caused by both what we dwell on and what/Who dwells in the core of who we are as people living out our daily lives.
Above all else, guard your heart. It's the wellspring of life.
The things that a person dwells on and allows to dwell in their heart determines who they are and what/Who they attract (and repel).
We both give and receive signals that will eventually manifest into things  that come and go in and out of our lives in varying shapes and sizes.
This is as orthodoxy and orthopraxy as it God Himself.
These are some of the very things, along with  the rejection of miracles, signs, and wonders for today's Church culture that the Western Hemisphere, Evangelical Religious Right Teachers have been squelching from being experienced as part of Normal Christ-like daily living.
God is Soverieignly making Himself and His Truth known in a growing Way throughout the nations.
Praise God!!!
Enough phony, bologna, weak, limp -wristed, watered down, dead religious talk about God and what they think He's like.
He is not asking permission to make Himself known, setting the record straight.
He's just doing it!

It's quite amazing to me how one continent can have some many cultures within it.
Each country has its own unique and definite look and "feel" to it.
The same goes for the way the Kingdom of God looks and feels.
Becoming a mature, functioning citizen of this Kingdom is what these next few episodes are all about.
I'm thankful we have a Written and Spiritual Guide in how to best learn and live in the culture of the Kingdom of God.

It's one thing to read about relationships.
It's another thing to experience one by being in it with a real person.
The same thing applies to God.
It's one thing to know about Him.
It's another thing to be in close relationship with Him in a real way.
Jesus is the One and only Way Who makes being in relationship with God possible.
Know Jesus
Know relationship with God
No Jesus 
No relationship with God.
Growing  beyond knowing about into truly knowing is the basis of all relationships.
Growing up in relationship with God then with one another is what we're all about here at Life Around The Fire Ministries Int'l.

Knowledge of and by itself is good, but too much of it tends to produce a snobbish undercurrent of superiority and arrogance.
Words and works... We need both.
Works alone tend to produce a hyped, sensensaionalist, shallow, and ignorant type of lifestyle.
Works and words... We need both.
In the Western Hemispher of Planet Earth we need more works of the Kingdom.
In the more remote areas of civilization on Planet Earth we could use more of the solid grounding affect good teaching of the Word has on a person's life.
I'm a citizen of God's Kingdom who lives in the Westrn Hemisphere and my head of knowledge is the size of a watrmelom and my body looks like a stick figure.
I repent... I'm changing my mind and I'm changing my ways...
God is the Boss and I'm the one saying Yes, LORD (not the other way around)!

It's okay to have high powered racing engines and be an expert on how they work.
However, if all you do is study the engine, look at it, and every once in awhile take it out and slowly drive it around the block a few times and then put it back in the garage without really driving it for all it's worth... whata drag...what fun is that?
Same thing goes for someone who knows a lot about God and His written Word but never actually experiences the power of God's Kingdom and really gets excited about His Presence being among us!
Well, were taking the car out and blowing out some carbon because "DAD" said that it was A OKAY with HIM!
We'll see you back in Ephesians chapter 4 in a little while.
BUT FIRST......

We'll be picking up on our tour through Ephesians very soon as it pertains to an outline provided for us concerning spiritually mature behavior.
The outline is: Being born-again, imagers of God living in us, what God does looks like as He reveals Himself to us and through us?
Who do the people who really know me see when we get together?
Do they mainly meet just a lot of me or do they first and foremost see Jesus in me and through how I walk out my daily life?
This episode serve as a segue to the second half of the euation found written in the letter that Paul wrote while awaiting trial under house arrest in Rome.
The first half is on how to find one's true identity... in Jesus Christ and relationship with Him.
The second half is: What does spiritual maturity really look like in one's daily life?
This segue episode is an important component in the Masterpiece God is creating.
