Few times in history have we seen a major unshackled victory of a dread champion. These times are precious for they remind us that God is indeed working out His will on earth, providing victory out of the jaws of defeat. Remember Pharaoh and Moses? How about Elijah and the prophets of Baal? David and Goliath? We know these stories because in each instance the odds of success for God's people was stunningly low yet God delivered His own with an unfettered win. We are seeing this play out today in the USA as God is once again setting the stage for a major deliverance. Listen as Homer and Wanda encourage the faithful to stay hopeful that God will bring victory to America and her president.

As we mature in faith, and Jesus leads us into the wilderness, we meet a side of God we have not met before. This God allows us to endure great trials as He removes 'self' from us. He is also a great Promise Maker and Promise Keeper.  

In this season of Tabernacles many Jewish people and some believers are dwelling in temporary booths, sukkahs, as they remind themselves of their ancestors sojourning in the wilderness. These booths are 3 sided and open to the elements. They are, simply put, a box. Likewise, many believers live in boxes as well but the box is spiritual and, unlike the sukkah, stays up year round. The three walls of this spiritual box is designed for our good, but can actually become a prison if we are not careful. In this episode, Homer and Wanda discuss what are the three walls that can bind us. They bring wisdom and understanding how to escape this prison and grow into intimacy by moving from the mind to the heart.

For all of its bluster pride is weak. Those who revel in pride are weak for their strength lies solely within. When they die their strength goes with them. Humility, however, has strength that is beyond man for it originates in God Himself. The servant has more power than the mightiest of men if they are in relationship with the One who is the servant of all. The humble servant who follows the example of Jesus will have more power to conquer than they could ever realize.

Has the injustice in the world been difficult to take lately? Walking in faith is difficult, but when Jesus takes us to the wilderness injustice rockets to a whole new level. The wilderness breaks us down so we will reverentially submit to the will of God. It is a season of extreme testing. Remember that God brought the finest man in all the earth to satan's attention precisely so he could be tested. This testing is crucial if we are to progress in faith and please our God, however the price we pay is tremendous. Journeying through this valley caused our family to cry out to God many times for justice to be done. We can encourage you that justice does return and justice will return for you. No matter the journey through the wilderness you are experiencing God will bring justice to you when it is done.

Have you been meditating as to why this year feels like we are being turned upside down? Could it be that God is throwing us out of the comfort of the nest so we might learn to fly in faith? In this episode Homer and Wanda unravel the mystery of what it means to fly like an eagle. Using Isaiah 40:31 as a basis, they discuss how God uses this majestic creature to help us understand the beauty of intimacy Jesus desires with His people. Flying as eagles is the high calling Jesus beckons us to as we pursue Him with uncompromising faith.

As our world gets increasingly more dangerous it is important believers understand they can dwell in the safety of God's hands. His strong and sure hands are the firm foundation we can rest in when the enemy comes against us like a flood. Where else can we turn when satan attacks? When we are safe in God's hands nothing the enemy does can touch us. As we face the troubles of this world we encourage you to put your faith and trust in the only One who can keep you safe in the day of evil.

At the right hand of God is Jesus, our example for how we are to live. The character of Jesus is what is formed in us when we traverse the wilderness with uncompromising faith. The enemy of our soul, however, does not want us to succeed. The 'self' nature is bent on preventing us from every embracing the joys in the Father's right hand. By obeying Jesus, we feed our spirit and starve 'self'. Slowly we develop into the very character of Jesus  as He leads us through the wilderness.

In this episode Homer and Wanda discuss the elements of our spirit core and how we need to feed spirit if we are to be invited into the wilderness.

Truly there is no greater joy, nor difficult task, than to bring ourselves before our God that we may drink from the fountain of His words. Listening to God is so critical to the believer that they will not be able to walk the path of faith without His voice. But as necessary as His words are it is not easy to hear Jesus. We need to be trained to drink from that well. To aid believers Wanda Ring brings forth 4 practical steps to help us hear the voice of God. These simple truths, when practiced daily, will give you the tools you need to begin hearing Jesus speak to you.

One of the greatest battles we fight with 'self' is over fear. Fear has such tremendous power to control, and eventually destroy us, but did you know that most fear is based on lies? The father of lies deftly traffics in deception and so keeps us perennially trapped in fear. This is by design for if we knew, and walked, in the power of faith and truth satan knows he would lose us as pawns forever. Today, you can see these lies continually as the media uses them to create fear and control every aspect of our lives. This is the tactic of the enemy.

Homer and Wanda have traveled deep into the valley of fear only to find that it consists of nothing but shadows and phantoms. With God guiding and providing their family survived 3 1/2 years of homelessness as they persevered in faith. In this episode they discuss the importance of how facing your fear is the bedrock to walking in faith.
