Our Father's Heart

In this episode, we trace examples of the remnant from 1 Kings and the generation that existed during the reign of King Ahab and Elijah the prophet. Then we move forward about 200 years to the generation that existed when Isaiah the prophet lived and we start to observe the attributes that make one a candidate to be the remnant of a generation that remains faithful to the Lord their God. We move forward approximately another 200 years to the days of Zechariah to see the remnant of the day and the covenant the Lord has with them. We move forward another approximate 100 years to the days Ezra and how the remnant must take responsibility for their past actions because the remnant is as guilty as all mankind, but the only difference is that the remnant humble themselves, pray, seek His face and turn from their wicked ways. The Lord of the remnant responds by forgiving their sin, healing their land, and setting His mark on them.

May God bless you and make you prosperous in Him as you listen and obey His voice!

Today’s episode will be a very different episode from any previously released episodes. It’s actually a time of ministry that ended in song. In the hopes that you will have a greater appreciation and understanding of this message, I must share that it was a period of time in my life in which I was going through a great deal of turmoil. My wife and I were spiritually devastated at the events that were transpiring in our home with one of our children. My heart was utterly broken, and I was seriously entertaining thoughts of removing myself from ministry altogether. I felt disqualified as an elder due to circumstances that took place under my watch in my own home. In all the 23+ years of marriage, it was, by far and away, the lowest and arduous season in my life. 

It is in light of this brief summary that I ask you to listen to the word of ministry that came from the book of Joshua and listen to the words of the song that followed. The song was originally written and performed by Jason Upton. In this episode, I actually sing it, but it was very difficult for me to sing. I was so choked up about the moment I was experiencing and hearing the Lord that morning speak to me a word that I needed to hear for myself in answer to many dilemmas that were swirling about in my heart was extremely profound and uplifting.

I hope and pray that you are blessed in hearing the ministry and song of Joshua.

In this episode, we conclude how we walked out our Father's heart for family and kingdom ministry during our marriage.

We address the importance of men/fathers and women/mothers fulfilling the responsibilities they have in the family, the effect homeschooling had on our children's socialization and maturity when our children started schooling in public school, trusting one another in fulfilling our individual responsibilities in the marriage, God's faithfulness in the negative experiences they all had and keeping our eyes on Him through the good, the bad, and the ugly.

In this episode, we continue to share how we walked out our Father's heart for family and kingdom ministry during our marriage.

We address the struggles of homeschooling at the same time being pressured to put them in school, sheltering vs. exposing our children to different things of the world, socializing challenges, balancing those different concerns, the peace of knowing we did what the Lord led us to do in raising them, the impact of the Word of God and the book Shepherding a Child's Heart in regards to discipline and how we need to apply the instructions found in the Word even when we were raised differently, above and beyond our own experiences and where does the ministry of the kingdom begin?

In this episode, we continue to share how we walked out our Father's heart for family and kingdom ministry during our marriage.

We address the differences between our own children, the testimonies regarding our experiences raising them,  our learning experiences with them, how moving to GA changed our emphasis as we home-schooled, the influence of Ted Tripp's book Shepherding a Child's Heart, and some of the rich experiences we had through homeschooling.

In this episode, we share how we walked out our Father's heart for family and kingdom ministry which was the teaching in the previous episode.

We address the emasculation of men, the role reversal between men and women in the home from 20th to the 21st century,  our early years as a family and the challenges that came with having children so soon after getting married, our advocacy for homeschooling (when willing and able) and how God provided for us in those early years in spite of those challenges.

While Men/Husbands/Fathers are being emasculated today... While Women/Wives/Mothers are replacing men in the home... While the norm is now that both mother and father are working full-time, making more money together and separately than ever before... and yet divorce seems to still be on the rise, multiple marriages are more becoming the norm, and societal norms are seemingly changing daily... Who is actually raising the next generation of God's children?

What is our Father's heart for family and kingdom ministry?
​
In order to understand family and kingdom ministry in the eyes of God, we must understand divine kingdom principles for headship, our individual roles in the body, and how they are to complement each other, not rival each other for the purposes of furthering His kingdom on earth.

If this is the understanding you seek, then consider the message as a Berean, and seek out the scriptures to confirm if the things shared in this podcast are true... and above all, don't be a hearer only, but walk in the truth yourself, and be a doer of the word.

The hidden foundation of any structure is the most important part of any structure. Like that of a home, the foundation must be thick, strong, stable, and secure in order for it to properly and adequately hold up what will be built upon it. If not, no matter how elaborate, exquisite, fanciful, or grand the structure is, it will inevitably fall and the destruction of it will long outlive the memory of it. The same is true with any disciple of Jesus.

In this episode, we focus on the foundation of a true disciple of Jesus. Every disciple of Jesus Christ must have the proper foundation laid in their own life so that the Lord can construct us properly and fulfill our destiny successfully in Him.

Who is the witness? Who do we seek our approval from?

This podcast address both of these questions about Jesus Christ and the children of God.   

Meditate on the following scriptures after listening to the teaching:
2 Cor 5:9, Col 1:9, 10,   1 Thess 2:4,  Heb 13: 20, 21, 1 Jn 3:22
...and be blessed as you seek to do what He requires of you.

May God bless you and make you prosperous in Him as you listen and obey His voice!

How is it that the Lord takes imperfect men to do a perfect work? How is it that he is capable of taking the weak and beggarly elements of this world to negate the powers of the prince of darkness?

The primary purpose for the struggles in our life is to develop our testimony of Him. He puts us through difficult experiences so that we may testify of His goodness and faithfulness toward us who believe in Him and fear Him. 

The victory is not always attained by winning every battle (game). Victory in this life is attained through holding fast to our faith, enduring to the end. 

God uses the paradoxes of our lives to confound the wise. The apparent contradictions are used to confound the mighty... and having us know intimately our own faults causes us to not glory in ourselves in His presence. 

Are things in your life not going exactly as you thought they would or as you planned them to? Don’t lose hope in the Word of God. His testimonies are true and faithful.

If the Lord had not been on our side all our enemies would have swallowed us alive. If the Lord had not been on our side, all the raging waters and the mighty floods would have swept over us. So, don’t give up… don’t give in… if you don’t quit, you win… you win!!!
