Wave 94

"The freedom of speech is a core freedom that we have in the United States. It's absolutely essential for us to protect it."

--Mike Sharman

In a compelling discussion, legal counsel Mike Sharman highlights the critical role of the First Amendment in safeguarding American liberties. He argues that this freedom is a bedrock principle, and that a breakdown in the legal and cultural systems can lead to a dangerous imbalance. This episode emphasizes the need for Christians to be actively involved in exercising their rights to ensure a just and moral society.

Main points from this episode:

-- The First Amendment is not just about free speech; it's a unified protection of religious freedom, speech, press, assembly, and the right to petition the government.

-- The freedom of speech is foundational to all other rights protected by the First Amendment.

-- Our system of checks and balances breaks down when those in power—like grand juries or police—operate with personal bias rather than a commitment to the rule of law.

-- The contrast between the UK and the US illustrates the dangers of a society without a written constitution and God-given laws, where speech can be arbitrarily censored.

-- True free speech allows for debate and opinion but draws the line at false facts or incitement to violence that infringe upon the rights of others.

-- Christians have a responsibility to actively engage in society and exercise their First Amendment rights, whether by speaking up, assembling, or petitioning the government.

Tapping into the Anointing for an Abundant Life

Dr. Edith Davis shares a profound teaching on the anointing, emphasizing that every believer has this divine power within them. She breaks down the significance of Jesus's anointing and how it's meant to transform our lives today.

Here are the key takeaways from this message:

-- The anointing is not just for a select few; it is in every person who has accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

-- The key to receiving and keeping divine healing, health, and wealth is aligning our soul—our mind, will, and emotions—with God's Word.

-- The anointing has the power to break yokes of bondage, including poverty, brokenheartedness, and spiritual captivity.

-- The Greek word for poverty, ptochos, describes a state of utter destitution that the anointing can completely reverse.

-- The Greek word for brokenhearted, suntribo, depicts a person who is crushed and ground down, whom the anointing can heal and restore.

-- The anointing also delivers those held captive by addiction, pornography, sickness, and other forms of bondage.

-- We must walk in forgiveness and faith, not slander or disbelief, to experience the full manifestation of God's blessings.

-- The anointing is available right now to break off any sickness, disease, pain, or depression in your life.

The Game Plan: Preparing for a Breakthrough

In his message, Minister Dominique Dantley challenges us to see our struggles and preparations not as setbacks, but as essential parts of God’s plan for our breakthrough. Using relatable sports and personal anecdotes, he outlines the critical steps to prepare for our own "big upset."

-- Prep Time is Making Season: Just like a basketball team preparing for the Olympics, we can't get distracted by what's on the outside. Preparation is about what’s coming, not what's happening now. It’s a time for God to challenge us and transform us, not to break us.

-- Don't Despise the Beginning: Small, repetitive actions and even what feel like false starts (the "starting and stopping") are training you to get out of the blocks. Just like cutting the stem out of collard greens, the small details and seemingly insignificant steps are what determine your ultimate success.

-- Don't Neglect the "Little Bit of Flesh": Moses's delay in circumcising his son almost cost him his life. This teaches us that neglecting even a small sin or disobedience can be deadly. God’s word will not return to Him void; He requires our full obedience.

-- The Team Is Everything: You can't fight the fight alone. Just as Moses needed his wife, Zipporah, and his brother, Aaron, you need a team—people with different perspectives who can step in when you can't fight for yourself. Seeking counsel isn't a sign of weakness; it's a sign of wisdom. Your "squad" is coming if you stay steadfast.

-- Do the Hard Thing: Sometimes, it gets uglier before it gets better. Like Zipporah harming her child to save her husband, you might have to give up something precious for Christ. The pain is part of the process, but it is necessary for your growth and the next step God has for you.

In this powerful message, Apostle Otis B. Young challenges listeners to shift their perspective from a worldly, "church mentality" to a kingdom mindset. He explains that the kingdom is not a democracy where we get a vote, but a theocracy where we align with the King’s will. This alignment requires a proper prioritization of God and a life lived by faith.

Key Points:

-- The Kingdom Mindset: A kingdom mindset is a way of seeing the world through a prophetic lens, living a life according to God's will, and putting God first in everything. This mindset is driven by God’s glory, not our own.

-- Faith as the Kingdom's Currency: Just as money is required for transactions in the natural world, faith is the currency of the kingdom. It is the means by which we access God's blessings, promises, and favor.

-- Current Faith: Our faith must be "current," not "expired" or based on past experiences. It must be a "now faith," like a current driver's license or a paid-up cell phone bill, active and ready to operate.

-- The Power of Words: Our words have power only when connected to faith. Apostle Young explains that what we say is what we will have. This is why we must speak life and healing, aligning our words with God’s will.

-- Stretching, Not Stressing: The struggles and difficult situations we face are often God's way of stretching our faith, not stressing us out. These moments enlarge our capacity and our trust in Him, much like a rubber band that is stretched without breaking.

Following the Good Shepherd's Voice

Pastor Omar Ellison's message, "The Father's Voice - Part 10," delves into the profound relationship between the believer and God, emphasizing the critical importance of hearing and obeying His voice. He teaches that as God's sheep, we are known by Him and are meant to know and follow only His voice, not the voices of the world or the enemy.

Heed the Internal Barometer — True guidance from God is internal, not external. God does not need to use tragedies or negative circumstances to get our attention. He has an infinite number of ways to guide us from a good place. We are meant to be guided by our inner "barometer," the Holy Spirit, not forced into obedience like a horse or mule by a bit and bridle.

Mind the Things of the Spirit — Our minds are the central battlefield. Where our minds are focused determines what dominates our lives. Being "carnally minded" (focused on worldly things like finances, relationships, or problems) leads to death—a lack of spiritual perception and life. In contrast, being "spiritually minded" (focused on God's Word and His ways) produces life and peace.

Walking in the Spirit — This is not a complex, mystical concept. It's simply choosing to live life God's way as revealed in His Word. This daily choice, made by keeping our minds fixed on Him, allows us to walk in continuous life and peace, regardless of our external circumstances.

God Is Enough — Even when life presents challenges and nothing seems to go our way, our circumstances do not dictate our peace. God's presence is our ultimate peace, and He alone is enough. When we have Him, we have everything.

Finding Freedom from What Bends You Out of Shape

In this powerful message, Pastor Steve Dow delves into Luke 13 to reveal how Jesus can liberate us from the things that leave us "bent out of shape," whether physically or spiritually. Using the story of a woman crippled for 18 years and a religious ruler indignant at her healing, Pastor Dow draws a clear distinction between the liberating power of Jesus and the restrictive nature of legalism.

-- Jesus, the Liberator: Pastor Dow explains that Jesus's purpose is to set people free. He highlights the difference between being demon-possessed and demon-oppressed, explaining that many people are spiritually oppressed, unable to stand up straight and live in the fullness of God's joy. Just as Jesus saw and called the bent-over woman, he sees our hidden struggles and calls us to himself.

-- The Dangers of Legalism and Traditionalism: The synagogue ruler, enraged by a Sabbath-day healing, represents the second person "bent out of shape" in the story. Pastor Dow warns that traditionalism and legalism—the attitudes that prioritize rules over people and tradition over the Holy Spirit—can cripple a person's faith and a church's mission.

-- People Over Property: Drawing on Jesus's rebuke of the hypocritical ruler, Pastor Dow emphasizes that religion inverts our priorities, making us care more about things (like rules and traditions) than about people. He calls for a shift back to focusing on reaching the lost and loving people, as Jesus did.

-- The Power of Persistent Prayer and a Life of Worship: The message reminds listeners of the importance of persistent prayer and genuine, undignified worship, like that of King David. Freedom comes from a fresh encounter with Jesus, who has already spoken the word of deliverance; we just need to be in a place where he can touch us.
