Today we have the honor of hearing one of our Elders and the leader of our Inner Healing ministry, Kimo Bethea. He will be sharing with us about the reasons we may not have experienced healing yet. Blockages can prevent our healing. From the Word of God, he shows that significant blockages may be hiding in our belief systems.

Are you hungry? How is your appetite? Pastor Todd looks at the experience of the people of Israel in the wilderness. God provides manna for them according to each person's appetite. Those with a greater appetite were satisfied with sufficient portions and those with lesser appetites were likewise satisfied according to their appetite. God provides according to our appetites. As we grow in our appetites for spiritual things God will satisfy us. If our appetites for these things is small or limited or casual He will provide for us to satisfy our appetites just as with the people of Israel.

Let's listen in as Pastor Todd explains more deeply how this spiritual principle works in our lives.

Pastor Todd says, "I believe that scripture evidences that we are supposed to be living very exciting lives." What does he mean by that? "We should be living dynamic encounters with divine things. We are having such experiences with God that are a joy and a blast." He shares with us many stories of how the Holy Spirit came on people "in power" for specific tasks that He has called them to. This same Holy Spirit lives in us if we call Jesus our Lord by faith but there are also times when the Holy Spirit will come upon us "in power" for special tasks that He has called us to. This can lead to prophesying. It can lead to bringing healing to others. He wants us to work in miraculous ways "in His power". These are times that come in the life of believers who have received the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Spirit.

Pastor Todd takes us deeper into the excitement of walking in the supernatural.

Pastor Todd talks to us today about maturing in our faith and our calling with God. In Romans 8:28-30, Paul writes that "these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called He called He also justified, and these whom he justified He also glorified." Is it possible, though, that our circumstances don't look very much like we are predestined and called and justified and glorified? Are you stuck? Are you feeling that you are unable to move forward in your calling? If God foreknew you and predestined you how could He leave you in this situation? Is it possible that we are believing something about our calling that may not be clear? We must know what our calling is and what it is not.

Isaiah 53 tells us that the Messiah will be a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Tears are not mentioned here but based on our own experience we have to know that this means tears.

Jesus comes to this earth and we know he is fully divine. And we know that he is fully human and he walks this earth with both of those things, sorrow and grief. That's one of the most perplexing things to consider. What were his emotions like if you're fully God and fully man. What does that do to your emotions? What makes Jesus cry?

We know that often when the Holy Spirit comes on us that we may begin to cry or weep. Are we weeping with Him? Is He revealing His heart to us?

Pastor Todd explains this from the life of Jesus found in the Bible.

As Christians we celebrate Resurrection Sunday. Some call it Easter. We are celebrating Jesus' resurrection from the dead after He was crucified and paid the price for our sins. If we believe this then He promises that we will have eternal life. Even more so, we get to experience our own resurrection now in this life. How is that possible since we have not died yet. Pastor Todd teaches here about how we were born with a dead spirit inside. This has been true of every human born since Adam and Eve sinned. However, in Jesus' resurrection, by faith our spirit within us is resurrected too.

It is true that everyone who has not yet put their faith in Jesus is walking around as a dead person. That is, their spirit is dead within them. When they put their faith in Christ, they are "Raised to new life", resurrected with Jesus.

Pastor Todd explains how this works and why Jesus resurrection is so important to us and what our resurrection means for us.

Today we have Part 3 in a 3 part series on the Gift of Tongues.

The gift of tongues has been very controversial for over a century among Christians. Some of that has been due to tradition and "the way that we have always done thiings". For others it is a matter of fear or discomfort or lack of experience. Continuing today, Pastor Todd is going to walk us through the Word of God only, not tradition or experience. He explains from scripture the foundation of this gift, one of many that "follow those who believe".

Pastor Todd completes his teaching from 1 Corinthians 14 and teaches how tongues should be used in church. Many churches have avoided tongues because the Apostle, Paul, says that everything should be decently and in order. For many everything about tongues feels the opposite of that and so they are avoided. However Paul also says that I wish that you all spoke in Tongues (14:5). Pastor Todd goes on to teach us from the Bible how a church can and should operate in tongues in the assembly of believers.

Let's listen in as Pastor Todd explains.

If you are not sure that tongues and the other Spiritual gifts are for today, check out Pastor Todd's previous message on that.

This message today concerns churches across the United States who have misunderstood the government attempts to limit church involvement in the politics of our nation. He discusses the Johnson Amendment to the IRS tax code and its impact on church's tax exempt status as 501c3 organizations. It may not mean what you think that it does. There is so much misunderstanding about this that many churches have remained silent about important issues facing our nation and the world, like abortion, liberty, war, guns, violence, and many more.

This message is a bit shorter than usual today. If you find this helpful please share this with your pastor and with your Christian friends.

Let's listen in as Pastor Todd explains.

Be sure to listen to the end for some important information about Pastor Todd's new book.

Pastor Todd teaches us today from his series, "The Old is the New". In this series he shows us a new reality about the relationship of the Old Testament to the New. Just as Jesus would tell parables, stories to explain spiritual realities, the Old Testament can be seen as stories to reveal New Testament spiritual truths and realities. For example, in Luke 24:27, the scripture says "Then beginning with Moses and with all of the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all of the scriptures."

In today's message, Pastor Todd focuses on the story of Noah. Why is the story of Noah in the Bible and how does that help us in our lives today? How does Noah compare with Jesus? Is he a model of Jesus? In Noah's time there were many unrighteous people but through Noah God saves a few. Jesus, Himself, points out that the road to life is narrow and few find it and that He is that pathway.

Jesus tells us that the last days will be like the days of Noah where people were eating and drinking and marrying, going about their daily lives as though nothing they did displeased God.

Pastor Todd reveals Jesus in this story, showing us how the Old testament is a physical illustration of a New Testament spiritual principle.

Pastor Todd answers these questions and more. Are tongues a known language? Are tongues ecstatic gibberish or a spiritual language? Where do tongues come from? Are tongues used as a prayer language? Why did God give us this ability? Can every believer speak in tongues?
