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

America celebrates Inauguration day with hundreds of thousands of citizens on hand at the nation's capital. Today is also the national Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Observance day. Greg, John, and Pat share that this is a significant day for our nation and our future generations cannot forget where our brothers and sisters have come from. Amazing day and how it has survived the battlefields of ideas. Our President said that our country is no longer a Christian nation. With this statement he admitted that at some point in his eyes it was one. There are many today who believe it still is and that all of our rights come from God. The Church needs to get God's constitution, the Bible, on the inside of us. A nation like the United States that leaves its Constitution is a byproduct of a church that has left God's Constitution. There is an outpouring coming when the church will turn back to God. God is looking for an opportunity to show man mercy.

Greg, John, and Pat, discuss the importance of having clear vision for 2013. There is nothing more frustrating than having your vision impaired. There is expected to be great turmoil, shifting events that can really shake you up physically, mentally and spiritually in 2013 if you don't have vision. If you didn't have a clear direction and an understanding of what matters most to you, prior to these happenings. It may almost be impossible to get it together in those times if your vision is not clear. It will make you vulnerable to following others who have a clear vision, but not a godly vision, meant to place you in bondage. A person without a plan, a vision, is at the mercy of the man, or demon that has one! Sit down after prayer and seeking out what is most important to you in regards to your values.

Once you have discovered your governing values now it's time to begin to plan your vision, your plan for 2013, based on your values. For it is our values that are our fuel and when we are operating outside of our value system, although on surface it looks successful on the inside we are wasting away. Clear vision is the way to make it through 2013.

Greg, John, and Pat discuss how God is looking for the pioneers of this generation. Pioneers take people to a place that only exists in their hearts. Pioneers carry people to a place where no one has gone before. They are people who are looking to take things to a new level. Our country has had so many pioneers who were willing to go and lead and create paths for others to follow. People like General and President George Washington. Who believed that a new nation can emerge where liberty and freedom for all can exist? People like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who believed that all men were created equal and was committed to hold a nation accountable to what was written on the paper, the U.S. Constitution. The same is true for God; He has always had his pioneers. Pioneers like Abraham, Joseph, King David, Apostle Paul and of course Jesus.

Jesus was a pioneer - the first born from among the dead, the One who made the Father known to us, the One who made it possible for our sins to be forgiven and for us to come in to relationship with God our Father; the family of God. The Apostle Paul was a pioneer who brought salvation to the Gentiles, those who are not Jews. The church through time has had pioneers like Alexander Dowie, Amy Semple McPherson, Maria Etter, A.A. Alan, John G. Lake, Kathryn Kuhlman, Oral Roberts, Billy Graham and so many more. This is the question; who will be the pioneers for God in this Generation, the generation that you live in now? When God says, "Who shall I send" do you look around, or do you say like Isaiah "here I am send me." Who will be the pioneers who bring the Good News of the Kingdom of God to this generation? Who will be the pioneers who will let God impart into them His directions for this generation and lead them into it? Who will be the pioneers who will help today's Church move forward and prepare for the seasons she is about to face? Will it be you?

Greg, John, and Pat share about how two Rabbinical Jewish men were attacked by a group of Palestinians with ice and snow. They threw snowballs at them, pushed snow in their faces and shoved them as they continued to walk past this disrespectful and hateful group. They continued to share about how allegedly Egypt is going to receive 480 million dollars from the U.S. government in aid if the President of Egypt apologizes to the Jews for some of his hate filled speech when he called the Jews descendants of apes.

We live in a society today that has gotten very comfortable writing reviews as customers of products, services and businesses. This has progressed to students who rate and review their college professors. It's an amazing thing when a Christian rants and evaluates publicly on online posts like Facebook and other companies feedback page. The question is; are these who are judging ready to be judge or reviewed publicly by their spouse, child or parent. We should take Jesus' truth to heart found in Matthew 7:1-5., "Do not judge or you too will be judged."

In this moment of wisdom found in Proverbs 16:28, "A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends." Perverse is defined as showing a deliberate and obstinate; to behave in a way that is unreasonable. A gossip is one who separates close friends. It's a sad reality that so often is repeated as the perverse sinful heart opens the door for Satan to set their tongue on fire with words that are not true, or confirmed that divides. These gossips who fail to deal with their hearts, have no hope in trying to tame their tongue as James speaks of in

James 3:2-9. The hope for a gossip is to repent before the Lord and to try to make things right with those they have separated.

John, Greg, and Pat discuss how Jesus confronted and challenged the "religious" Pharisees in his day. In Mathew 5:1-10, the Pharisees were more concerned about the outer life and the traditions of men that can be seen. They asked Jesus why the disciples did not wash their hands before they ate. Jesus was clear to say that it's not what goes into a man that makes him unclean but what comes out of the mouth. Religion in this context is defined as emphasizing the traditions of men that nullify God's Word. Jesus called the Pharisees blind guides. Jesus is not concerned about our outer life He is concerned about our inner life. He said in Matthew 15:18, "but the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man unclean."
