In a time of dire headlines about rapidly rising health insurance costs, Mike Sharman, General Counsel of Share Healthcare, offers a powerful, biblically-grounded perspective on the U.S. healthcare crisis. Sharman says that government control and subsidies have distorted the market, leading to soaring prices, which he identifies as the symptom of the problem, not the problem itself. The true issue, he contends, is that the American people have allowed the government to take over, rejecting the principles of self-governance and liberty set up by "the laws of nature and nature's God."

Mike Sharman connects the current healthcare crisis to the Old Testament account of Israel rejecting God as their King for an earthly one. He highlights the profound difference between conventional, high-cost health coverage and the Christian principles embodied by Share Healthcare.

Key takeaways from this discussion include:

-- The soaring costs of government-controlled healthcare are a consequence intended to get us to repent and seek liberty in the Lord.

-- We must focus on solving the problem (government control/rejection of God's authority) not just reducing the symptom (high prices, quick-fix drugs).

-- The original American dream was based on the liberty that grants each person the freedom to rise up and improve through work, rooted in New Testament principles.

-- A lack of liberty in our lives is an indication of an absence of the Spirit of the Lord, as 2 Corinthians 3:17 states: "Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."

-- Share Healthcare provides an alternative where a family of four can pay $349 a month, compared to a national average of $2,600 for employer-provided insurance, a difference Sharman attributes to living in accordance with the Spirit of the Lord and walking in liberty.

-- The ministry explicitly excludes sharing in expenses for practices (like abortions and trans gender destruction) and symptom-only treatments (like weight loss drugs).

-- Sharman says that healthcare is not a universal human right according to Scripture or the Declaration of Independence, which guarantees the unalienable rights of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Find out how a biblically-principled approach to healthcare can lead to both spiritual and financial freedom.

Join Dr. Edith Davis on Enter the Glory Zone as she continues her powerful teaching on unity in the body of Christ. Many speak the word "unity," but what are the foundational steps to actually achieving it? Dr. Davis clarifies that unity is not being monolithic—having identical cultures or thoughts—but being in lockstep with the Lordship of Jesus and obedience to the Word of God. This message is a call to return to the basics that unlock a unified and powerful church.

Core Fundamentals for a Unified Believer:

-- Cultivate an intimate, personal, one-on-one relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

-- Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

-- Love one another, for this is the primary sign that you belong to Jesus.

-- Walk in complete forgiveness toward everyone, and refuse to be offended, recognizing it as a trap of the enemy.

-- Be born again, and receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, as it is impossible to walk in God's love and fulfill His Kingdom assignment without it.

Steps to "Water Walking" (Walking Over Your Troubles):

Dr. Davis dissects the miracle of Peter walking on water to reveal the principles of manifesting God's power in your life, allowing you to "walk on your troubles, walking on cancer, walking on sickness and disease, walking on lack and poverty."

-- Obedience is first: Follow the direct command of the Lord, even if your natural understanding says otherwise.

-- Do not lean on your own understanding: Trust in the Lord with your whole heart.

-- Perseverance: Keep pushing and rowing against contrary winds, refusing to turn back.

-- Keep your eyes on Jesus: Peter sank only when he took his eyes off the Lord and looked at the wind and the waves.

-- Meditate on your Rhema word: Get a specific, personal word from God, chew on it, and speak it until it turns into faith and manifests.

A unified church is a powerful church—it is where the blessing (the Barak) of the Lord resides.

In "Get off the Seesaw," Pastor Joseph Davis challenges believers to break free from the cycle of emotional ups and downs that characterizes an unstable faith. Drawing from Matthew 14, he illustrates how God shifts things in our lives—like our sleep patterns—to give us the "morning," a time of fresh insight and strategy before the day begins. The message culminates in three necessary steps to get off the seesaw and find unwavering stability:

Key Points to Get Off the Seesaw:

-- Face Your Fears with Faith: God allows trials not to torment us, but to push us into a place where we must use faith to overcome fear and superstitious thinking (like fear of black cats, broken mirrors, or Friday the 13th). Fear causes us to exaggerate problems or create imaginary realities. The antidote is getting your identity from God's Word.

-- Get in the Ship (Commitment): Like Jesus calling Peter back into the boat, God is calling people to decisiveness and commitment. The "ship" represents membership (connecting to the local church) and discipleship (the decision to grow and change). Discipleship cannot happen without membership.

-- Hush the Noise: Stop the chatter, petty conversations, and excuses that distract you from your destiny. You must be careful to choose your counsel wisely, seeking advice only from a few core people who have character and fruit in their lives.

The Power of the Great Commission: Go and Make Disciples

In this installment of the "Holy Spirit" series, Pastor Mike Jenkins examines the foundational work of the Spirit as chronicled in the Book of Acts. Written by the physician Luke, Acts serves as the history of the early church and a roadmap for today's believers. Pastor Mike addresses core theological questions and practical applications for our modern walk:

-- The Holy Spirit is God, equally so with the Father and the Son, and is not a feeling, a wisp of smoke, or an impersonal "it."

-- The purpose of the Book of Acts was to document the growth of the New Testament Church following Jesus’ ascension, demonstrating the successful implementation of His teachings.

-- The Great Commission is the unstoppable, biblical command given by Jesus to His followers, backed by all authority in heaven and on earth.

-- The central task is to make disciples, not just to evangelize, as discipleship ensures new believers know what they believe, why they believe it, and how to defend their faith.

-- The realization that the Holy Spirit is resident in you should profoundly change the way you live, act, and view your life.

-- Fellowship is vital; the physical presence, handshake, and godly hug among believers provides necessary edification, strength, and love that technology cannot replicate.

The God of All Seasons: Trusting God Through Every Change

In this encouraging message, Pastor Steve Dow reminds us that our God is a God who never leaves or forsakes us, no matter which season of life we are navigating. Just as the sun always rises after the night, dawn is coming to every difficult circumstance. Drawing on powerful personal testimony, Pastor Dow illustrates how enduring a season of hardship prepares us for a miraculous harvest. Learn how to align with the Holy Spirit and actively prepare for the new season of growth and expansion God is bringing.

Main Points for the New Season:

-- God Always Brings the Dawn: Even in the darkest moments of pain or difficulty, a new day, a new season, is on the horizon.

-- The Harvest is Plenteous, but the Laborers are Few: God is calling us to be active witnesses—to pray, to invite others into the presence of God, and to share our personal testimony.

-- Let Go of the Past: You cannot pitch your tent in the past. Holding onto old hurts, habits, or mindsets prevents you from experiencing all God has for you.

-- Step Into the Unknown with Confidence: Following God is the safest thing you can do. Trust Him, even when you can't see the path ahead.

-- Prepare for the New Season: Enlarge your capacity, walk in confidence, and sow seeds (witnessing, praying) now, knowing the harvest is surely coming.

Sacrifice isn't just giving up—it's following through. In this convicting third message of the "Immeasurably More" vision series, Pastor Ryan reveals why obeying God sometimes makes life harder instead of easier and reminds us that sacrifice is what carries us through the wilderness when surrender gets us out of Egypt. From the Israelites' panic at the Red Sea to a powerful testimony about Transform 850 saving a child's life, this teaching will challenge you to choose faith over fear even when the ground is shaking beneath your feet. Whether you've stepped out in obedience only to face more pressure, or you're wrestling with what sacrifice looks like in this season—this message is packed with biblical truth, honest vulnerability, and a defining moment for our church. God didn't bring you this far just to go this far.

Scripture Reference: Exodus 14:10-12

Big Idea: Sacrifice is choosing to follow God where He's leading you, even if fear is trying to pull you back to what's familiar.

Key Quote: "We want purpose, but we don't want to risk anything to get it. We want legacy, but we want legacy without sacrifice. But purpose and legacy only happen when we choose to follow God despite what fear is trying to convince us to do."

Topics in this Message:

• Why obeying God sometimes makes life harder, not easier

• The difference between surrender (control) and sacrifice (cost)

• How fear turns faith into frustration and makes us blame leaders

The H.A.S. Principle: Cleaning the Inside to Claim Your Overflow

Apostle Otis B. Young delivers a powerful word of instruction, calling believers to a season of radical internal preparation. Referencing the command to "consecrate yourselves for tomorrow," Apostle Young unpacks the necessity of being sanctified to cross over into our promised land. This is not about going on a temporary consecration, but establishing new normals of sanctification and holiness in our lives—a process that often involves painful pruning to bring about new growth.

Discover the three internal areas God is focused on in this season of preparation, the H.A.S. Principle:

-- H is for Heart: God is creating a clean heart, demanding forgiveness, as unforgiveness acts as a roadblock to your blessing.

-- A is for Attitude: Cultivate an attitude of gratefulness and confident expectation, moving beyond doubt and past disappointments.

-- S is for Spirit: Your spirit man must be renewed and remain pure. Like a dirty cup, a contaminated spirit cannot hold the new overflow God desires to pour out.

Apostle Young also addresses the common mistake of only cleaning the outside—a form of hypocrisy the Bible warns against—and stresses that a genuine work of God on the inside will automatically produce a transformed outward life. Learn how to address the "junk in your trunk" and embrace "Work on Me Week" to step into the impossibilities God is making possible.

In this dynamic message, "Don't Be Comfortable," Minister K. Robinson calls out the subtle spiritual dangers of complacency. Being "comfortable" can creep into our daily lives, manifesting as routine, impatience, and even ungratefulness. She emphasizes that comfort is the enemy of improvement and new experiences with God. By relying on our own predictable ways, we risk settling for a Dollar General blessing when God is offering a LongHorn Steakhouse experience right around the corner.

Minister Robinson powerfully unpacks the truth that God is not the one causing delays—our own denial and hesitation to step out in faith and follow Him is the real obstacle. The Lord's yoke is easy, but it requires us to drop our own burdens and our need to control the timeline. Stop sitting in the box, and start walking in the freedom of God's grace and direction!

Key Takeaways:

-- The danger of comfort is that it breeds a lack of improvement and a spirit of entitlement.

-- Being comfortable can get you into a routine that makes you settle for less than what God has for you.

-- We must step out of the box (our comfort zone) to receive the new, refreshing experiences God wants to give us.

-- God is not delaying His promises; our own hesitation and denial are the cause of delay.

-- Following Jesus is an easy yoke; trust Him and let grace and mercy follow you.

-- Do regular maintenance on your "spirit man" by fellowshipping, praising, and worshiping.

-- Don't be a people pleaser; focus on following the Lord's specific direction, not who you think needs the most help.

In this challenging and inspiring teaching, Sue Brown takes a deep dive into the account of Jesus being led into the wilderness to be tempted (Matthew 4:1-11). She explains that this was not a self-inflicted hardship, but a divinely allowed trial intended to prove Jesus' obedience and prepare him for his ministry. More importantly, it established the spiritual blueprint for how you can successfully resist the devil in your own life.

Sue Brown draws a crucial distinction between the external trials God allows (like Jesus' testing) and the internal temptations that arise from our own lusts and desires. Regardless of the source, your faith is being tested, and your way out is always the same:

Key Takeaways for Overcoming Temptation:

-- Jesus’ temptation was a spiritual transformation to prove his obedience.

-- God uses Jesus’ experience to give humanity an example of how to resist the devil.

-- The Lord will always provide a way to escape when we are tempted, but we must rely on Him.

-- Our temptations often arise from internal lusts and desires, while Jesus’ trial was an external adversary.

-- Reliance on the Holy Spirit, divine will, and scripture is essential for victory.

-- We must act on our faith and use the Word of God as our spiritual defense.

-- Knowing what is right and doing it not is sin (James 4:17)—you are accountable for your knowledge.

-- Our wilderness seasons are for a purpose: to develop our character and prepare us for ministry.

References:

(1) At the end of the last episode I had begun an argument supporting the divinity of Jesus. I do that to support His view that the Bible is the Word of God.

(2) Jesus answers the question from the high priest boldly by saying: “I am.” That answer echoes what the Lord speaks to Moses out of the Burning Bush in Exodus 3:14 by saying “I AM WHO I AM.”

(3) In John 8:58 Jesus used the words “I am” to some Jews. He declared, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” When He used those forbidden words the Jews immediately took up stones  with the intention of killing Jesus, for they understood Jesus was identifying Himself as Yahweh, the God of the Bible. By claiming the divine name for Yahweh Jesus affirms His ETERNAL existence (John 1:1), His EQUALITY with the Father (John 10:30), and His right to receive WORSHIP. After Peter tried to walk on the water, the disciples in the boat did worship Jesus and they remarked “Truly You are the Son of God” (Matt. 14:33).

(4) In the rest of His answer to the high priest, Jesus is identifying Himself as the Son of Man in Daniel 7:13-14. That means He is implying He is the Jewish Messiah and the Son of God.

(5) Yahweh is an OT term for God meaning “Lord.” A comparison of OT verses about Yahweh with NT verses about Jesus gives biblical evidence of Jesus’ identity as Yahweh.

(6) Is. 44:24 asserts: “Thus says the Lord (Yahweh), your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb: I am the Lord, who MAKES ALL THINGS, who STRETCHES out the heavens ALL ALONE, who SPREADS abroad the earth BY MYSELF.”

(7) In the NT, however, Christ is presented as the Creator of “all things” (John 1:3; Rom. 1:20; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:1).

(8) Thus, we know God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Son, are both identified as Yahweh.

(9) Jesus is also identified as Elohim in Isaiah 9:6 (the Messiah is “Mighty God”) and in Isaiah 40:3 as “a highway for our God.”

(10) Further, in the NT Jesus is identified as Theos, a common Greek word translated “God.”  It corresponds to the OT Elohim.

(11) Jesus is also identified as Kurios, a common NT Greek term for “Lord.” It is equivalent to the OT Yahweh.

(12) The NT further acknowledges that Jesus has the attributes of God. For example, John 1:1 affirms “In the beginning WAS the Word, and the Word was WITH God, and the Word WAS God.” We learn later in chapter 1 of John that Jesus is the Word. Thus we understand Jesus is ETERNAL when it says the Word was God. The word “was” is an IMPERFECT TENSE in Greek indicating continuous, ongoing existence.

(13) Also  Jesus’ teaching  reveal His deity.

(14) John 3:16 makes reference to Jesus as the Son of God so that Jesus has the same divine nature as God the Father. John 5:18 makes it even clearer: “The Jews sought all the more to kill Him because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God  was His Father, making Himself EQUAL with God.” Jesus never gives a gift of peace or sonship and later reneges.

This is episode 245.
