[PODCAST] Are You Battle Ready? Part IV

ephesians podcast Feb 25, 2022

PODCAST EPISODE: Are You Battle Ready? Part 4 - LISTEN BELOW! 

PART IV: TIME TO ARMOR UP! 

For the first two weeks of this study, we reminded ourselves of our POSITION as believers in Christ.

Last week, we focused on what it means to "walk worthy of the calling" and all of the practical ways in which we can live triumphant lives guided by the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 6 opens up with additional guidance on how to live Spirit-filled lives in the following relationships:

  • Children & Parents
  • Bondservants & Masters (Employees & Employers)

Then it will be time to armor up with the whole armor of God!

We are going to analyze each piece of the armor and how to use the whole armor of God most effectively.

The Purpose of Spiritual Warfare

We are to be prepared to engage in spiritual warfare as believers in Christ. Why?

  • To release the power and victory of Jesus
  • To push back the darkness
  • To empower us and embolden us to SPEAK!
  • That we may open up our mouths boldly and...

[PODCAST] Are You Battle Ready? Part III

PODCAST EPISODE: Are You Battle Ready? Part 3 - LISTEN BELOW! 

PART III: WALK WORTHY OF THE CALLING

For the last two episodes, we've been reminding ourselves of our POSITION as believers in Christ, as part of our Are You Battle Ready? online Bible study series.

We must live fully convinced, by faith, of the power we have through the Holy Spirit alive in us.

Now that we know how to stand, let's walk worthy of our calling as it says in Ephesians 4:1-3:

"I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."

At the highest level, to "Walk Worthy of the Calling" means to:

  • Live ethically and morally by the leading of the Holy Spirit
  • Strive for ongoing maturity by the equipping of the Spirit
  • Help others move forward in love and unity


If we follow these standards, we will...

[PODCAST] Are You Battle Ready? Part II

PODCAST EPISODE: Are You Battle Ready? Part 2 - LISTEN BELOW! 

Know Who You Are - PART II

To recap last week’s episode, before we can wage war, we need to know who we are in Christ.

Ephesians 1 says we are blessed with every spiritual blessing, sealed and authorized by the Holy Spirit, and that we are carriers of His power and glory.

Wow! But it doesn't stop there.

Ephesians 2 & 3 provide even more descriptions of who we are as believers in Jesus Christ.

As we go through and turn these verses into “I AM” statements, I want you to be reminded of your value, of your purpose, and to be fully convinced of the exceedingly great power that is able to work through you, in the Name of Jesus.

Let's go!

PODCAST EPISODE: Are You Battle Ready? Part 1 - LISTEN BELOW! 

The Soul of Worship - Are You Making a Sound? Podcast is BACK for a new season in 2022!

I believe it’s an incredibly prophetic and ground shaking year for the Church and for our communities.

Wells of revival are breaking open and I believe a great outpouring of His presence by way of worship-saturated prayer is on the way!

But we have to be aware that the enemy is going to try to stop us, distract us, and discourage us so that this great awakening doesn’t occur.

So I’ve been led by the Lord to revisit a Bible study we did back in 2020 called “Are you Battle Ready?”

It’s a 4 part study on the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.

For the next 4 weeks on the podcast, we are going to be studying Ephesians to learn how to mature in our walks in Christ in order to be able to battle against the evil powers of darkness.

Before we can be CALLED TO WAR, we must first learn how to...

[PODCAST] "Celebrate Me!"

podcast worship Oct 05, 2021

PODCAST EPISODE: "CELEBRATE ME!" 

In this episode, let's chat about how beautifully David worshiped God with "all of his might" in celebratory gladness and how we too can delight the heart of God by releasing a joyful sound unto the throne.

Over the last few weeks, God has really been pressing on my heart the following words, “CELEBRATE ME!”.

It started around the same time as the Jewish calendar celebrates their New Year and I couldn’t help but be reminded that God is a God that never changes…And if He thousands of years ago established feasts and seasons of celebration, then that is what He still desires from His children, even today.

The most common expression of praise that say all of the time is Hallelujah.

The root word is Halal which generally means to boast, brag, celebrate, or rave about God.

Halle-lu-YAH - When we say Hallelujah we are celebrating Yahweh.

We are bragging about how awesome and powerful He is - how great is His love and grace...

God's Word is neither barren nor fruitless.

Uncategorized Sep 30, 2021

If you're like me, you are holding onto some promises that God has made you.

You're believing and trusting that God will fulfill, but then you find yourself crying before His presence, wondering why so long? Or how will You do this, Lord? When will this come to pass?

And time and time again, God reassures me with this passage from Isaiah 55:

"For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."

Isaiah 55:10-11

You see, God's Word is neither barren nor fruitless.

We can be as SURE as we are in the water cycle, that God will water and bring to LIFE every single seed of promise that He has deposited inside of us.

His Word will start budding in the right season and in the...

God will either provide a way out or the grace to endure. Both are miracles.

Read that again.

God will either provide a way out or the grace to endure.

Both are miracles.

Sometimes we only give God credit if He shows up in an immediate breakthrough kind of way.

Don't get me wrong.

Of course those are awesome, but let's also praise God for giving us the grace to endure long trials.

The fact that He's keeping you standing in the midst of the process is JUST as miraculous.

"And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

II Corinthians 12:9


So keep holding on to the promises of God, for they are YES and AMEN.

Stay strong in faith,

worship worship book Sep 16, 2021

I want to share with you today an excerpt from the introduction of my book, WORSHIP: Are You Making a Sound?, because I believe it's the reminder God wants to share with you today:

"Did you know that sound waves can change matter?

Perform a quick online search and you can find videos of people manipulating matter, breaking glass, freezing water - all with sound waves.

How did God Himself create and mold matter in the Book of Genesis?

By using the sound of His voice.

Or did you know that the sounds of nature increase the productivity of the surrounding land?

There are studies that prove that the sounds of birds chirping and insects humming contribute to the growth and development of plants in the area.

No wonder we hear the birds singing the most at the beginning of Spring!

The birds are literally awakening the ground with their songs of praise.

Nature leads a revival, year after year, with its sound.

If sound waves can break glass at the right frequency, and if the songs of nature...

[PODCAST] Worship Without Limits

podcast worship Sep 15, 2021

WORSHIP WITHOUT LIMITS

In this episode, I am sharing a Word that God gave me to share at a conference back in July under the theme, "Worship Without Limits."

How do we get there?

How do we get to a place where we can freely worship God with all that we have, in Spirit and in Truth, without worrying about the criticisms of others?

I thought "Worship Without Limits" was such a great theme and I think every single speaker that day mentioned one key: greater intimacy with Jesus!

So take a listen to today's new podcast episode and allow it to encourage you to take your worship to the next level.

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:

  • Matthew 12:34
  • John 4:23

After Moses and the Israelites crossed over the Red Sea, they worshiped the LORD with a new song:

'Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord , and spoke, saying: “I will sing to the Lord , For He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea! The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him. The Lord is a man of war; The Lord is His name. Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea; His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea. The depths have covered them; They sank to the bottom like a stone. “Your right hand, O Lord , has become glorious in power; Your right hand, O Lord , has dashed the enemy in pieces.'

Exodus 15:1-6

The presence of God was with the people of Israel and in His presence the army of the enemy was completely demolished. Cast into the sea and drowned at the bottom like a...
