This week’s podcast, “Baptism of the Holy Spirit,” is a foundational teaching taken from a Facebook Live I did in my Path to Purpose group a few weeks ago, in case you missed it. This is SUCH an important topic!

The Holy Spirit is a person in the Trinity and is the miracle working power of God. The baptism of the Holy Spirit - often misunderstood - is about receiving what you’ve already been given, not about trying to get something you don’t have.

In the podcast, I cover a lot of ground, including:

• What Jesus said about the baptism of the Holy Spirit

• The releasing of the Holy Spirit on Jesus’ apostles

• Speaking in tongues (Praying in the Spirit) and interpretation

• The role of faith

• How to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit

• Theological misunderstandings about the baptism of the Holy Spirit

I also say a prayer of impartation for you to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit at the end of the podcast.

If you’re not living a miraculous and supernatural life, or, if you don’t know about or are afraid of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, please, please listen to this podcast!

This week’s podcast, “Become What You Believe,” is about how to have confidence in prayer. John 15:7 is just one of several Scriptures where we are told to ask anything in His name and it will be done. Yet, every Christian has been disappointed by unanswered prayers, so why?

Because the truth is, it is the person praying that determines what happens.

He touched their eyes and said, “Become what you believe.” It happened.

- Matthew 9:29 MSG

In the podcast this week, I walk through Matthew 9 and show how each miracle Jesus performed was what the person asked for - and believed.

But it is more than just asking and believing. We also have a role and responsibility to SEE with the eyes of faith and RECEIVE what we ask for.

We need to ask Holy Spirit for a vision, a picture we can meditate on (like Abraham’s meditation on the stars), so we can meditate on it and receive it, confront unbelief, and establish in our hearts and minds that it is done.

The truth is, we already are what we believe. What we have in our lives today is a direct reflection of what we believed yesterday. What we focus on manifests. And we have a part to play in receiving God’s miracles.

The DMV of Heaven? Sounds funny, right? That’s why I wanted to talk about it. The truth is, I work in the DMV of Heaven. That means that it is my job to see who you really are, your heavenly identity, help you see it too, and give you license to be who you are in Christ.

Until you KNOW who you are, you can’t BE who you are. Until you can BE who you are, you can’t DO what you were meant to do.

I want you to be empowered to take off the old man and put on your new man, the fullness of who you are in Christ, and impact and serve the world as God intended for YOU! I want you to own who you are and the gift on your life.

Truly understanding the Gospel and detoxing from religion will revolutionize your relationship with God, with yourself, and with all of creation.

If you think you aren’t religious, I challenge you to look deeper. Many people who say they aren’t religious, say it is because they have a ‘relationship’ with Jesus, therefore they think they aren’t religious. However, whether you have a relationship with Him or whether you are a devoted church attendee hoping that He is listening to your prayers, I propose that if you think there is ANY separation between you and God, you are, in fact, religious.

Religion, as it is presented in the Western church, is separation from God. It is the Tree of Knowledge rather than the Tree of Life. But, the Gospel is the announcement of the death of a self that is separate from God. It is the announcement of our union with Him. It is the announcement that our original origin is not Adam, it is Jesus. It is the announcement that we’ve died to sin. It is the announcement that there is no ‘us’ outside of Christ.

This may sound radical, but it is all over the New Testament.

Religion is the illusion of separation from God. It is time to detox from our human effort of trying to become something we already are - perfect in Christ.

So beloved, I hope you will listen to this podcast and marinade in the glory of your co-crucifixion, co-resurrection, and co-identification with Jesus. Rest and enjoy the fruits of Jesus’ labor!

My purpose and joy in this world is waking up the bride of Christ to who they really are in Jesus Christ. It is to help people believe the Gospel and experience the fullness of their union with Him.

My prayer is that the truth of the Gospel will come alive in your heart, so I’ve included a very special prayer that I encourage you to download, share, and listen to over and over and over! Think of it as an alarm clock to wake you up, to help you remember the truth of who you are, and live from the joy and bliss of it.

Part 2 of Supernatural Mind Renewal is here! And I’ve got a few truth-bombs in there!

Here’s one - renewing your mind to the truth about who you are IN Christ is serious spiritual warfare! If you want to fight the enemy, it’s all about your identity.

The only “power” the enemy has is within the lies that you choose to believe. Understanding what Jesus accomplished on the cross and who you actually are takes all that power away.

If you don’t believe me, or aren’t exactly sure what I mean, check out the podcast. I also share three specific examples of how mind renewal completely transforms the material realm and our relationship with God!

In Episode 58, I am joined by current RethinkU students who are IN THE PROCESS of Letting Jesus Build It, Kelsey Jimenez and Kim Combs! These ladies’ journeys of creating what Jesus has told them to create from a place of rest and union with Him is really going to inspire you!

This week’s podcast, “Supernatural Mind Renewal - Part 1,” is a discussion about what it actually means to “renew your mind,” and the reality of what Jesus accomplished on the cross for ALL of humanity.

And let me tell you, I’m going deep with this. It is so very important to understand what Paul meant when he said to renew our minds in Romans. What exactly are we renewing our minds to?

The truth. And the truth is you are one with Jesus, through the cross you were reconciled into God. He did it without your permission and He did it for every single person. The blood of Jesus cleansed all of humanity and there is nothing, and I do mean nothing, that is separate from Jesus Christ! I hope that this two-part podcast changes the way you view the Gospel, the goodness of God, and every human on the planet.

Last week I talked about the role of purpose and the role of the body of Christ in the expansion of the Kingdom.

In this second part of the podcast, I talk about the shift in perspective we can all make as we face the storms in the world and in our lives.

Beloved, we should be speaking to the mountains in our way instead of talking about the problems in our sphere of influence. We must begin to see the storms and things coming against us as something that motivates us to shine brighter, to rise above the natural circumstances, to be the light and salt of the world!

Here is the truth - you are the answer to the chaos in the world in very practical ways every day because of who you are - one with Jesus!

So as you listen to this week’s podcast, I encourage you to stop being upset with the world and get to the business of transforming the world; take up your assignment and your purpose! What are His specific instructions to YOU? Ask Him what is your part? What does He want YOU to do to bring Heaven to Earth today?

If you’ve been overwhelmed and anxious about all that is going on in 2021 so far, you’re definitely going to want to check Episodes 54 & 55 out.

It’s really a Holy Spirit message to the individuals of the body of Christ about everyone’s personal God-given assignments, their personal, strategic assignments in the mission of the expansion of the Kingdom. I like to call it their purpose.

What does this have to do with peace in a storm? It has to do with focus. Are you focusing on the storm, or are you focusing on Jesus and your personal Kingdom assignment?

In the podcast you will be challenged to practice staying in peace and partnering with God to stand for what He’s asking you to personally stand for on a daily basis. Not the things that you can’t personally impact, but your own personal destiny and God-given assignments.

This is where you will find Jesus... and His peace.
