There is only ONE King and ONE Kingdom; Don't Get Distracted by Darkness, God's About to Bring the LIGHT Answer

It is an encouraging season to remember the moment when God brought about His Son Jesus Christ upon the Earth. God used a journey of signs, wonders, dreams and visions, to guide Joseph and Mary to safety that would end up in the exact place that God designed for the birth of Jesus. Amidst those who were following the signs and the stars in the sky, there were those who felt threatened. At the same time, King Herod felt that his kingdom was being threatened about the words of a new King. King Herod carried out an evil strategy that resulted in a major loss of lives to do all that he could to thwart the plans of this new King. The Magi heard the direction of the Lord. After seeing the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, they knew to go another direction, not back to King Herod. In spite of King Herod’s evil strategies, God’s plans will prevail. Be encouraged as you hear, similar to the times of Jesus’ birth, how to hear the voice and direction of the Lord, to be a part of what God is doing, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: dreams, visions, miracles, journey, murder, pigs and pearls, the Kingdom, 90 Minutes in Heaven, and hope. Greg, Pat and John shared in this segment.

Race and the Church, "From every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb" Part 1

A powerful answer to prayer has come about to begin a conversation. In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands His disciples, “…go and make disciples of all nations…”. The nations are made up of all people, not one particular demographic, or ethnicity, or race. We are called to tell everybody, of every ethnicity about Jesus. For someone to look at the gathering of the church, the nations should be seen and reflected. How do we win all races to the Lord if we only want to be with our own race?

Our own history must be taken into consideration to how we perceive things. Individually, one can make a statement that “they themselves do not have a problem and consider that nobody does. Let’s just move on”. That is naïve. It is important to not only look at our own history, but also the history of the nation. The more we look at ourselves, and men’s mistakes, our sins, it can get overwhelming. Sometimes we can’t connect with the sinfulness of sin unless we just look at it, the sin of oppression and slavery. If there is an issue in the church, we have an obligation to hear from God about it.

Recently, a meeting of leaders from around the nation came together and responded to the voice of the Lord. Powerful testimonies of healings and empathy were surfaced that were never before realized or possibly understood. This particular meeting was another answer to prayer. The sin of oppression and slavery has to be dealt with in order to release what is about to happen. Just this week, Pastor Len Ballenger of Jubilee Christian International hosted a panel of pastors to begin a conversation about diversity in the church. Be encouraged and greatly inspired as you hear of the journey of confirmations and affirmations from the Lord that led to where we are now, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: diversity, military, ethnos, nations, Azusa Street Revival, justice, mindsets, spiritual warfare, history, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., slavery, segregation, empathy, healing, John Wayne, The Hand of God, 2020, Harlem, leadership, and love. Greg, Pat and John shared in this segment.

Greg AND Pat’s Diving Excursion; OR Just Greg? HUMOR

Jumping into the expanse of the ocean beginning a dive is a rush. On a particular ocean dive Greg shares how he enjoyed the sights, the warm water, and the cold water. The deeper you go suddenly you have the awareness, ‘sharks are watching me’. In this sudden thought of awareness, Greg looked to turn to his dive buddy and what he saw was just as surprising. Enjoy this humor moment as you hear the journey of the dive under the water, ABOVE the water, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: eardrums, sharks, dive knives, wreck diving, ropes, and humor. Greg, Pat and Steve shared in this segment.

The Coming Tsunami of God’s Glory

Hurricane Katrina brought waves of massive size that affected every single person it reached. Regardless of who or what you were, everyone was affected. Before a wave even comes, those who are looking for it such as surfers are watching attentively for the signs of the coming rising of swells. They begin to position their boards and thrust their arms and legs into the water to paddle themselves in the direction that will place them at the opportune spot of the wave. To a casual viewer, this doesn’t make much sense. But, to the surfer it does. There is coming a wave of God’s glory that is going to, like a wave washes and cleans the ocean, will wash and clean the hearts of mankind. Be deeply encouraged, allow Your faith to be stirred, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: paddles, surfing, dreams, visions, waves, tsunamis, Waveland, MS, Hurricane Katrina, and The Glory of God. Greg, Pat and Steve shared in this segment.

Is Life Getting Heavier and Heavier?

In his book, The Torch and the Sword, Rick Joyner articulates a detailed vision given to him from the Lord. In one particular scene, Rick was walking with Jesus on the shore. He was given a magnificent torch. He couldn’t help but marvel at its beauty. The longer he gazed at the torch, he was surprised at how the torch became heavier and heavier. As Rick looked up, he noticed the distance between himself and Jesus. Jesus had continued walking down the beach. How often do each of us do the very same thing? God gives a beautiful addition in our lives. Whether it’s a new job, a company, a spouse, children, a ministry, and we focus on that which was given to us. The more we focus on that, the greater distance there is between where we are and where God is. Where we presently are and what we are presently focusing on could be the very reason why everything has gotten so heavy and become so difficult to carry. Be encouraged as you hear God’s original design, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: vapors, burps, water, stones, relationships, and abiding. Greg, Pat and Steve shared in this segment.

The year 2020 and the Intimate Connections of Advancing Technology; A Day in the Life

Each of us have been impacted by technology in our daily lives. According to Forbes Magazine, by the year 2020 there will be 7.3 billion smartphones, tablets, and PCs; and 26 billion connected devices around the globe. From the time you wake up, how you interact in the workplace, make business decisions, even how you drive your car, or how you don’t drive your car, will be effected. The world we live in is vastly different than what we could of imagined it to be just a few short years ago. The same can be said about the changing technology that is only a few years in the future. Take a walk with “Charlie” during a day in the life of a 2020 world, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: technology, wireless, connected cars, suits, GPS, cognitive computing systems, doctors, iPods, iPhones, tablets, and abiding.

What is the Speed Limit of Love?

In our day to day lives, we can begin to have routines. We drive the same roads. We cross the same intersections. We know when to hit cruise and when to “tap the brakes”. Without even knowing it, we can coast through our driving routines without even a glance at the speed limit signs. Ironically, only in the unfamiliar cities do we turn to those riding with us, “what is the speed limit here?” Suddenly, we are driving with the intention of looking for the posted speed limit. How do we respond to the people to the left and right of the “highway” of our lives? Relying on the familiarity of our “routine” could cause us to drive past the people to our left or right, without even knowing it. Allow your love to be stirred and your schedule to be challenged, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: highways, cruise, intersections, Emmaus Road, crowds, interruptions, baseball practice, the workplace, the dinner table, family, and love. Steve, Greg, and Pat shared in this segment.
