Podcast - The Greg Lancaster Show, Live from the Glory Zone.

Pat, John and Chris discuss the importance of guarding our hearts in light of Proverbs 4:23 NLT “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” They continue to discuss the importance of guarding your heart from getting contaminated by protecting and guarding the sources that access your heart like your eyes, ears, and thoughts. Jesus said in Mark 7 that, it’s not what goes into a man that make him unclean but rather what comes out of a man. They challenge us to ask God to help us to search our hearts that they may be pure.

Psalm 139:23 “Search me, O god, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting”.

Greg, Pat and John discuss the three dimensions of faith. The first dimension of faith is the faith for salvation, the faith to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. The second dimension of faith is the faith to receive; this dimension of faith helps you receive your healing, deliverance, financial blessings, miracles and so much more. The third dimension of faith is a dimension that is not often spoke of; it is the faith to do. It’s the faith to do something like your job, ministry, and govern. It’s the faith that helps you to survive and stand against evil and sin. If there is not doing in our lives that means there is no living faith. The father of faith, Abraham, went on a journey with God that saw Abraham bring some things into his reality. His son, Isaac, is one of those things. Abraham had to go through all the processes of dealing with what was happening in his life all the while moving and putting action behind what God said. What you believe is always evident by what you do.

Greg, John and Pat discuss how God used a man named Gideon, the weakest and the least among the Israelites to deliver them from the oppression of the Midianites. Gideon was a reluctant leader who just obeyed God. God reduced Gideon’s fighting force to only 1% of what he originally started out with so that God would get the glory. No matter what you are facing. No matter the challenges that lie ahead don’t lean on anything else but God and he will deliver you. Your 1% with God is more than your 100% without Him.

John and Pat discuss Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s remarks as shared via satellite to the members of Christians United for Israel as they gathered in Washington D.C. He shared that Iran is not only creating weaponry that reaches Israel but missiles that have the capability to reach the United States. They continued to share that many make decisions in their lives either because of a fear of loss or a desire for gain. Maybe if America feels that they have something to lose they will stand with Israel the only democracy in the Middle East.

Greg, John and Pat discuss how people are actually paying to be monitored. CBN reports that a “The majority of all new cars sold in America are equipped with black boxes, which stores critical information about the performance of the car. It also gives federal regulators, police, and insurance companies’ access to other data to investigate crashes.” They continue to discuss how this is a violation of your “civil bill of rights” in particular the 4th amendment assures your right to privacy. They share how many would be concerned if they were being monitored with a black box however many today are paying to be monitored with a “black digital box” they call their cellphones. They share how we are inching closer and closer to what Revelations 13: 16-18 says “He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666.” Unless the church repents they continue to discuss that America is headed toward bondage the like of which she has never seen.

Greg, John, and Pat discuss the importance of the hiding place; the place we are alone with God. Psalm 32:7-8 says “You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. They continued to share how important it is not to respond to be in haste but rather let people know that you will need some time to abide on that. They challenge us by asking the question where has all the masculine worship to God gone? Worship songs today have many feminine overtones that make it quite difficult for men to worship. One thing Promise Keepers taught us as we reflect upon their ministry that men would respond to worship that is masculine and songs that that declare the deliverance of the Lord. When we engage God in the hiding place and worship God in multidimensional ways that hinder any perspective of who He is: He will instruct, teach, and counsel us with his loving eye on us.

Greg, John, and Pat discuss how according to CBN yesterday on behalf of three Rowan County citizens, demanding that the Rowan County Board of Commissioners stop its unconstitutional practice of opening government meetings with prayers that are specific to one religion.” They continue to discuss how it’s not unconstitutional for them to pray. The truth is that we live in a blessed land. You don’t have to look further than the island Haiti and the Dominican Republic. There is a distinct difference between the Dominican Republic who recognize the Lord and the country of Haiti who does not.

John, Greg and Pat discuss how Hobby Lobby, a Christian owned business, was the first to stand against the abortion drug mandate which would require them to provide their workers with insurance that covers contraception and abortifacients according to the Christian Post. Their bold stand resulted in an injunction against the mandate. They continue to share how this is a huge victory and now sets precedents for others to follow as we have seen in legislation that has been passed in Florida, with the baby alive bill and Texas banning abortions after 20 weeks just to name a couple of states. They encourage us to stand with those who stand for God. They continue to discuss what happens to a nation that leaves God and the Constitution; in that order- God and Country.
