Shaun and The Word

Divine Exchange 1:

In Matthew 5 Jesus teaches about how those who would long for and come onto Him

would experience an exchange.

“He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:2-5

When we come to Jesus in pure faith, He will forge us, He will save us, and above all He will give Himself to us in the form of His Holy Spirit and then begin to implement in to our lives all that He has for us. Just like on the offer on the Sermon of the mount, Jesus still offers it today. Whoever would be hurting, spiritually bankrupt and come unto Him in faith, He will offer you and exchange with Heavens treasure.

When I was learning how to pray and seek Jesus’ face after I became a Christian I heard His Holy Spirit speak to me very clearly about a certain passage in Mark’s gospel. I grew up not knowing my dad and having never met him, but I had always knew his name was Mike Fisher. Now, that night the Lord spoke very clear to me, I has been walking and praying and asking the Lord to please allow me to help people feel like I feel and have what I have. When I arrived home I opened the King James Bible that I had and started reading in Mark 1:16-17, “As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”

That night the Lord spoke to me in words like this, “Your dad’s last name is Fisher, it is your lineage, your DNA, but I am making that into something better. I accept you, I will bless you, I want you, and I am going to use you as my servant.” From that day, the Lord has done a work within in me and through me that has been amazing. This is available for everyone who by faith would call upon the name of the Lord. For He too will take your trash and give you Heaven’s treasure.

This episode is a little longer than what we will be aiming for, but the purpose is because it is really a message. What Jesus' resurrection means to the Church and to me personally is overwhelming. It was on this day 18 years ago my life forever changed and it all started on this day 2000 plus years ago when Jesus' came out of that grave. 

We are going to hear my testimony of my first Easter experience in Church, also look at Mark's account of the resurrection and how the Lord used it to reveal His heart toward the messed up and broken. The Apostle Peter had messed up several times but none more significant then the night of Jesus' betrayal when he publicly denied Jesus the three times. That left Peter undone and distraught. However when Sunday come, along with it came that message of forgiveness and acceptance. This is the same message that changed my life and prayerfully would change yours. Jesus is alive, HE did rise from the grave, and He offers you and I forgiveness of sins and life everlasting if we would just surrender our life and heart to Him. 

I am going to share a story about how my 4 year old son came to understand the cross and how that simplicity of the gospel message should resonate within us as well. We will explore the triumph entry as recorded by Luke (Luke 19:35-40) and the crucifixion as recorded in John’s gospel (John 19:1-30). 

May our hearts burn with passion for worship unto our Jesus for all He did in ONE DAY! It was that One day that everything was made right side up for all who would believe. So that even in a time like we are currently facing with Covid-19 where it feels like our world is turn upside down, we can still worship and praise because the Cross of Jesus Christ is larger then anything we will ever face and more powerful then anything we will ever encounter. For from that day all who would believe have had their lives turned right side up for both now and eternity. 

My name is Shaun and I have so many short comings and faults in my life and journey with Jesus. However, the Lord has used His WORD and His Holy Spirit to deal and heal with so many of those areas in my life and I know He wants to do the same for you. This podcast aims to share some of Shaun and a whole bunch of God’s WORD to help the listener in their journey with Jesus. 

I believe it is extremely important to proclaim our faith, and recall all of God's promises for us found in His WORD. This is a prayer and proclamation of faith that I have developed over the years that has been a blessing to me and my family. 

We believe in one God,
