Part 2 - Spiritual Osmosis: The Assimilation of the Church

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE.
In this episode we begin to explain what I believe we're seeing in our age of the Church, in regards to a subtle deception that has immersed Her into a universal religion. What if the "good" and the "bad" that we are constantly presented are actually different heads of the same beast? Lastly, we'll ask, does the Church understand that the luciferian deception will likely be presented to Her as an attractive, and dare we say even desirable, religion?

Part 1 - Spiritual Osmosis: The Assimilation of the Church

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE.
This episode starts a new 5-part series examining how the Christian Church is being slowly swallowed up into a larger, one-world religion. She may not see it yet, but we'll attempt to unearth the deception that is as old as the Garden of Eden and begin repairing the primary delusions that are causing it.

Discipleship... And Other Goals of the Church

In this episode we touch on the fact that true discipleship within the Church has become practically extinct. Most every Believer today has never had a mature man who has gone before them take the time and effort to willingly sit beside and train them, for years. Why and what are we to do about it? And what is *THE* primary purpose of even "being the Church" anyway?

He's Never Been Wrong

This episode was recorded a couple of weeks ago and discusses the simple, yet quite profound reality that Yahweh has never been wrong. With no beginning and no end yet perfectly flawless and perfect in every possible way. This is our Father and we are called to be found entirely dependent upon Him. Let's talk about His greatness.

The REAL Lions' Den

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE.
Daniel chapter 6 shows us an admirable pattern in the life of Daniel. When he was conspired against, he was not moved or fearful whatsoever. Why? Because of his resolve to simply continue on with what he had already been doing. What if the greater "lions' den" wasn't the one with animals in it? What was the result of Daniel's testing and what would it say to us today? Let's find out.

A Word To Non-Patriotic Christians: Don't Lose Heart

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE.
Non-patriotic Christians. Although there are very few of us, I'm finding there are more of us out there than one might think. This short episode is in response to what we're hearing from friends and fellow Believers who are struggling to continue on in the Church as the evangelical/patriotic machine forges ahead with their agenda.
How do we who don't identify with political parties and ever-changing cult-like movements - yet attempt to follow Yeshua (Jesus) - navigate our way in these chaotic times? How do we not lose heart and just walk away from the faith? It is possible!
There is hope. Let's talk about it.

Part 2: Crippled At The Table/Barely Delivered

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE.
For the second installment of this short series, we'll discuss 1 Peter chapter 4 where we see "judgment begins with the household of God". It goes on to inform us that "the righteous will barely be delivered."
This is a timely message as the Church - and the entire world - is beginning to enter an age of unprecedented birth pangs. It is time to immerse ourselves into the Word of God and become sober in all things.

Part 1: Crippled At The Table/Barely Delivered

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE.
In this short series, Part 1 discusses the incredible account of Mephibosheth's invitation to come and sit at King David's table, recorded in 2 Samuel. In it we see ourselves. Shameful, broken yet invited in because of a covenant that is bigger than us. Will we, spiritually speaking, follow Mephibosheth's pattern or will we refuse the invitation of the King? Let's find out.

Part 12/Conclusion - Inhabitants Who Were Meant To Sojourn: A Call To Come Out

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE.
Here, the series comes to an end as we use the Scriptures to insert what we are to do AFTER we are found willing to surrender our national identity and patriotism. It is time for the Church, that has placed Her hope in national liberties and freedoms and not Yahweh Elohim, to come out and sojourn on.
It is time to return to the pattern we see in Abraham, who "by faith lived as an alien... as in a foreign land... looking for a city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is Yahweh." As well as the other saints of Hebrews 11 who "confessed that they were strangers and exiles" and "made it clear that they are seeking a country of their own."
Yahweh is bringing deserved judgment to America - in ways this land has not seen before. I would boldly warn that all who are found in allegiance with Her are aligning with Her ancient pagan/idolatrous cornerstone and will risk being led astray in the days to come. In this series, we have FIRMLY established that Her origin has been undergirded by dependence upon a pantheon of gods/goddesses to maintain Her liberties and strength. Come out! Do not be found as an inhabitant in a land that You, Church were meant to sojourn through! A land where Yahweh has placed His name awaits Us, IF we will come out from among them and be separate!

Part 11 - Inhabitants Who Were Meant To Sojourn: A Call To Come Out

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE.
I am amazed at how many people's eyes are being opened as they begin to respond to the Father's call to come out of patriotic America in this hour of testing. The present shaking is stirring many to awaken from their slumber and question their national allegiances.
This series moves towards a conclusion as this episode continues to parallel Isaac in Genesis 26 - connecting how I believe America is entering into vs. 16 specifically. Abimelech and the herdsmen of Gerar (metaphorically: the inhabitants/natives of this nation) are telling the Church (who are to be aliens and strangers), "Move on! Get out of here!" Will you be as Isaac and leave or will you fight for "your rights" and remain a disobedient dweller in a land that you were meant to move through?
Some are beginning to see - the Church is meant to sojourn! Will you hear what the Spirit is saying and come out from among them?
