Our Father's Heart

Now we come to the conclusion of this series with my holiday take. Up to this point, I simply wanted to share testimony from others who have decided to walk differently, against the tide of the mainstream. I also wanted to share historical information that I simply believe needs to be taken into consideration when you are going before the Lord in regards to participating in these holidays, specifically Halloween, Christmas and, Easter.

In the end, I hope after listening to what is shared, that you will at least have a cause for pause and re-consider participating in holidays that at the very least are of questionable origins and over time have become overtly anti-Christ, which does not just mean against Christ, but it also means in substitution of Christ.

Jos 24:14-15  "Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD!  (15)  And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

This podcast focuses on Easter, the other sacred golden cow of holidays. Nearly all of Christianity worldwide celebrates Easter. If you ever wondered how do bunny rabbits come to lay eggs and why does Easter always seems to be around the time of a Jewish feast known as Passover or were curious to know the roots and origins of Easter this is the podcast to listen to. We will also find the Catholic church connected, yet again, to this holiday, which continues a pattern we have seen between Catholicism and the major holidays we celebrate in America today.

This podcast touches the sacred golden cow of all holidays, Christmas. Nearly all of Christianity worldwide celebrates this holiday in some fashion. We will look into the roots and origins that go back further than 2000 years ago when Christ was born in the 1st century. Yes, it goes back, even before Christ was born, to a god named Mithra worshiped in the Persian empire. We will also see the Catholic church progressing through the dark ages and again getting involved with the pagan holidays of the peoples as its power and influence grows globally in many nations and tribes across the world. We'll also look into the evolution of this god-like character known as Santa Claus, or old St. Nick. We'll touch upon how he has evolved through the years and who was his or its inspiration.

Did you ever consider or wonder why are there some Christians that refuse to have anything to do with Halloween, even if it is called "trunk or treat"? If you are interested at all in the origins and roots of Halloween, then this is probably the podcast for you to get your feet wet and maybe just get into the 3 feet deep part of the pool. We'll look into the connection between Scottish-Irish culture, Druids, the god of the dead, Samhain, and how the progression of the Catholic church in the dark ages affected what we now know as Halloween or in Catholic circles as, All Hallows Eve.

Now that the holidays are over, and a New Year has begun, we're going to begin a 5 part series covering the holidays. We begin this episode sharing our journey in regards to participating or not participating in certain holidays and what experiences and what scriptures in the Word brought us to those decisions. You also get to hear from my wife and my eldest daughter regarding their journey in this area as well. Hopefully, insights and practical applications that we have applied will be relatable as you consider the ramifications of what is shared.

Are you ready to take the risk, as so many of our forefathers in the faith have done from Old to New Covenant? All of them were just because they learned to live by faith in the midst of their imperfect circumstances and their fallen state of living (Hab 2:4, Rom 1:17, Gal 3:11, Heb 10:38).

The just shall live by faith.

From Genesis chapter 3 onward, we have all lived in a less than ideal situation, not because we do not live in a state of existence where everything God made was “good” and “very good”, or because we are not living in that glorious paradise that only two people had come to know, or because we lost the responsibility God had given us for each other and the earth… but simply because we lost fellowship with our Father our Creator. 

How is it that in this life we can all share these devolving family situations from 2 parent father/mother family to 1 parent family, to a divorced family, a family that suffers from domestic abuse, sexual abuse, drug abuse, pornography, adultery, and fornication in our families and still be able to come out of this life victorious? 

All of these are less than ideal situations, but they can be redeemed. God is able to convert our less-than-ideal situations to ideal situations. Listen to find out how.

In this episode, we look at the difference between responsibility and purpose. We sometimes interchange those terms, but in the perspective of this teaching, we see how in this life being responsible in the little things leads us to attain the eternal purpose for which we have been apprehended by Christ Jesus our Lord and Creator.

Purpose is an object to be reached, a goal, an aim, the ideal, or an end result… Destiny. In contrast, responsibility is the duty, or obligation that one has and is held accountable for. It is our duty, obligation, and responsibility to hear Him and obey. FAITH is what is in the middle of our responsibility and our purpose and destiny in Him. Faith is the means to the end.

In this episode, we look into the importance of the name. In His name, we come to understand immediately His purpose when we understand the meaning of His name. We also see how the name is tied to water baptism unto death. We also see how His name is tied to the gift of God, the blessing of Abraham, the promise of the Father unto life. And lastly, the purpose for the revealing of that name in the earth.

We consider the memorable saints of old: Noah, Abram/Abraham, Sarai/Sarah, Samson, Moses, David, Elijah, Peter, Paul and consider the grave wickedness they committed, we might come to a moment of sobriety and consider asking ourselves, "Does anyone DESERVE a second chance?" 

It should be sobering to all of us when we see that, from the best of the fathers in the faith to the worst, God extended His great mercy to His people. They have accepted the responsibility of their actions, their sins, and they cried out to the only One who could cleanse them, redeem them and save them to the uttermost. They received second chances not because they deserved it, but because God chose to extend His mercy and His righteousness to the unworthy. They are then called BLESSED because their sins have been forgiven and not remembered against them anymore because they have placed their faith in Him.

You can partake of this as well today if you will do the same. In doing so, you can make yourself a candidate for a second chance just as they did.
