Good leaders follow Jesus.
Did you knpw that information creates emotion?
Do you have a backbone given to you by God?
What kind of leader are you? 
Good leaders follow Jesus.
Jesus didn't eliminate The Law of God.
Jesus came to fulfill and illuminate The Law of God.
He never broke or breaks The Law of God.
By following Him, we don't break The Law of God.
He doesn't steal, murder, lie, covet, commit adultery, etc. so, if we follow Him, we don't steal, murder, lie, covet, commit adultery, etc.
In following Him we too live a Holy Life.
Good leaders follow Jesus.
Poor leaders follow the world, the flesh, and the devil.
What kind of leader are you?

Looks can be deceiving.
For reasons I will never know some people have the romantacized view that  being a leader is an impressive thing to be.
Being a true leader, a servant leader is anything but impressive.
It will cost you your life, all of it.
True leadership is not a choice, it's a call that God chooses to give.
True leadership is not us getting it by going to college and getting a degree (and I enjoyall levels of schooling and higher education).
Leadership is not for the faint of heart.
If you can do anything else... do it!
Except, if you're called to lead there's nothing else you want to do... even though it hurts.
We need leadership because it sets a standard to follow.
If it's in the mud, then most of the people will be in the mud, too.
The opposite is true... Praise God.
Let us be like Jesus (and Ezra) and allow ourselves to truly identify with those we are called to lead.

I, OFTEN, have to shake my head when I hear someone say, "It must be nice being a leader. You get to do all that cool stuff. I wish I was a leader."
NO YOU DON'T!!!
Being a leader is like volunteering to be ugly.
Please, don't get me wrong.
There are aspects of leadership that have great rewards and privileges.
However, they are far and few between the everyday goings on in life.
Now, being a "spiritual leader" is much more exciting.
I'm being  facetious.
There is nothing glamorous about being any type of leadership role (even that of being a dictator/emporer).
Remember, we're talking about leading people like you around.
BTW, what type of person are you as a follower?

We aren't called to "attend" Jesus like He is some kind of sporting event that we attend so that we can say we really "know" the game.
He calls us to "follow" Him.
We get to know Him as we follow Him.
"Attending" an event, even a Church event, is not equivilant to following Jesus.
Good news, God is emptying the bleachers.
Following Jesus is not a spectator sport!
These are not "war games".
These are live bullets.
People actually get hurt and killed while "doing the stuff" by following Jesus.
"Work" is a God-thing... that makes it a good thing.
Being empowered to work in the Kingdom of God is a huge part of the reason why we are alive.
God wants to use you and me... not just look at us while we watch more things and want more and more of the things that steal life from us.
No wonder such a huge portion of "The Church" needs to be revived...
Well, He is reviving His people, again... Bo Yeshua Bo, Praise the LORD!

Have you ever been going through a hard time and the person you're telling out of nowhere began to "should" on you?
What do I mean by "should" on you?
"You "SHOULD" go over to that person and tell them that you have never liked anything about them and they can take their critical attitude and shove it."
I had someone should on me up one side and kept shoulding on me all the way down my backside and onto the floor.
It was a real "SHOULD STORM"!
Let's stop "SHOULDING" on one another.
There's a better way.
I didn't say easier.
I said better.
Listen up...

This podcast episode is unlike most other episides.
It's definitely not "Your Father's Oldsmobile."
It's got some rather high octane praying going on inside these four walls.
If that's new to you it was new to me once.
New is good as long as God is in it.
Pray for the Shalom/Peace of Jeru (city of) Salem (shalom/peace... Jerusalem = City of Peace.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Freedom from bonage (sex slavery) in Thailand.
Pray for Kenya, Africa to be wise in it's use of the new fertile and fruitful land/soil it will be receiving from Abba/God... both in the physical and in the spiritual.
Pray for North America to remain being a refuge for those who are in need of a new beginning... Faith, Hope, and Love.
Pray for the believers in Russia, the Ukraine, and the Arab/Persian believers as well. 
War is on the way... It can't be stopped.
God is going to reveal His Mighty Right Arm and deliver Israel from the jaws of it's enemies.
Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered.

Doubling down while working harder and harder under your own  power with all of the promises that you will do better next time spoken and on your mind and still you find yourself falling short of obtaining what you think you need should be getting really old by now.
Having anxiety attacks and taking Xanax to deal with your stress while still feeling the pressures mounting and  it is about to drive you insane is not the best of plans.
Real life has real issues.
What do you do when someone doesn't approve of what you're doing and they make threats about how they are going to shut you down?
What do you do when you fall flat on your face while you roll around in the bondage of your past way of living?
Real lie has real issues.
Where is God in all of this rubble?
Perhaps something in this podcast episode will help you or someone you know receive help from God...

W.O.R.K. is more than a four-letter word.
I remember the first time I received financial support for doing work I loved to do.
I loved it so much I was doing it for free.
Someone once told me, "Do something that you are good at and you love to do and do it.
Do it for free because you're going be doing it anyway, because you love doing it.
Do it so well that someone would be willing to pay you to do it."
It happened
If that should happen to you, graciously accept the support because it provides an opportunity for God to be glorified, your practical needs to be met, and the other person  receiving a blessing for giving unto the LORD.

It is so tempting to "take the bait" when distrations keep coming my way; especially when I'm in a hurry to get somewhere.
It's easy to "take the bait" when an unexpected expense comes my way when your bak account is running low.
"Taking the bait" can feel rather of exhilarating  when taking that first hit of LSD-25.
"Being caught stealing a car after I "took the bait" cost me time in jail, loss of employment, and relationship tension involving that was part of a break up.
"To takethe bait" or "To not take the bait."
That is the question as well as the common concern we all face.
 In this episode we will address that along with a couple of other key points in our look at what Jesus has to say about life in the year 2023.
