REDEDICATE 250: Celebration, Abomination or Both?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
Although the easily-manipulated masses are lining up to drink of the offerings of this present age, will anyone stop, test and discern what is unfolding in this national "movement?"
Something is changing and I don't believe it is at all what many professing Believers are making it out to be. Can we just ask some questions? Let's find out!

The People Are Stumbling: The State of Christianity is Changing

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
In my world, people are becoming more and more volatile. Christianity, in my opinion, is not exempt. Personally, I regularly receive mockery, ridicule and often aggressive behavior from those who become greatly offended when speaking about how YHWH's Torah Instructions are a blessing and for the Believer today.
Why is this? In this episode I will propose that a biblical pattern is unfolding. Looking back through history allows us to see that when people will not listen and reject the Creator's commandments and instructions, something interesting happens. YHWH places "stumbling blocks" in front of them. Could it be possible that this is what we're beginning to see unfold in this age?
Let's find out.

Celebrity Faith: Embrace or Avoid? The Antidote to Being Led Astray

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
On the heels of our "Judging" series, we will play and then examine several video clips of popular celebrities speaking about their "faith, and belief," "Jesus" and "higher powers." Should the Christian simply hear the words of these "influencers" and rejoice or should we show large amounts of caution?
We will read many biblical texts that give us counsel and, hopefully, the Word will challenge us all to be sure that we're not being naive ones that will be easily led astray in the days ahead. A mass apostasy is not coming, it is here.

Part 2 - Judging: Biblically, Do We or Don't We?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
In part 2 we go over many biblical mentions of Father's "righteous judgments" that Messiah spoke of in John chapter 7. We will ask, what if the Word has told us how to rightly discern and judge the Body, with biblically-defined "righteous judgments? What if we can implement a "standard of measure" that is not merely our own personal opinion of any matter?
I believe that it's time for the Body to humbly bring judgment to those who claim to be a fellow member of Father's covenant Family. What do you think? Let's find out!

Part 1 - Judging: Biblically, Do We or Don't We?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
When presenting any kind of biblical counsel or correction, many of us have been immediately told, "you can't judge me!" But have we overlooked something? Messiah said to "first" and "then" in regards to the beam/plank and speck verse. It would seem that there is a proper, biblical process for us to enter into.
In Part 1 we'll begin to lay the groundwork for two primary keys that will help any one of us rightly give and receive any kind of right judgment, as mere men.
Do you want to know what these two keys are? Let's find out!

Part 2 - Prayers and Petitions: When YHWH Grants a Request but Brings Leanness of Soul

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
Did you know that, biblically, there are two types of wisdom? One "comes down from above" and the other is "earthly, natural, demonic." We must slow down and filter all matters of life through the wisdom criteria of the Word.
How do we govern our lives according to the overreaching counsel of heavenly wisdom and avoid what is earthly and natural? Let us not think too highly of ourselves and presume that we always know the difference.
How do you know that what you request of the Most High is in line with His will and way? Let's find out!

Part 1 - Prayers and Petitions: When YHWH Grants a Request but Brings Leanness of Soul

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
In Psalm 106 we read of David recounting the events of Numbers chapter 11. The children of Israel have been delivered and set free from Egyptian slavery, but quickly forget the works of the Most High. The grumbled and put YHWH to the test in the wilderness. He gives the people their request, but also "sends leanness into their soul."
This series will help us consider how we can learn to avoid repeating this cycle in our own lives.

Part 3 - The Nehushtan Principle: Is Today's New Religion Jesus the Messiah or is He an Idol?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
The series concludes here as we fully establish the principle that parallels the events of Numbers and 1 Kings with the works and words of the Messiah Himself, as in John chapter 3. Using only biblical criteria and the patterns that we see, is the modern day "jesus," that promotes the abandoning of His Father's Instructions in any way deemed to be a false prophet/false messiah?
If you're willing to ask some hard questions, now is the time to biblically define and discern who you follow. Will it be you be found walking in the ways of the true Messiah or duped to follow another? Let's find out.

Part 2 - The Nehushtan Principle: Is Today's New Religion Jesus the Messiah or is He an Idol?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
When Messiah was telling us that He "did not come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets" was He declaring that He met the Deuteronomy criteria to be the true Prophet & Messiah of Yahweh? If so, what do we do with "mainstream Jesus" that purportedly "did away with the 'old' Law?"
In the Book of Numbers we read of the Hebrew word "nase" or pole; banner; lifted ensign for all to see. This same word shows up again in Isaiah's writings and is used to speak directly of Messiah. Is there a mysterious connection to be made here or is it all just happenstance? Let's find out!

Part 1 - The Nehushtan Principle: Is Today's New Religion Jesus the Messiah or is He an Idol?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
Can the Jesus that most of us have inherited stand up against biblical testing and survive into the other side as authentic? Does the modern-day Messiah fulfil and adhere to the biblical criteria of a true prophet of the Most High or does he enact a new way to live? Is it one that leads people away from the same commandments that He perfectly obeyed?
In this opening episode we'll establish some biblically foundational criteria for the Messiah. Criteria that many people have never heard nor considered. Will you be found willing to test the Messiah that you follow? Let's find out!
