        <itunes:summary>”End Times” chatter fills social media. The pundits and ”experts” are hyper-focused on political events, natural disasters, declining cultural norms, etc. Sadly, we have forgotten to prioritize what a ”ready life” looks like!
There is a dearth of biblical &amp; spiritual guidance of readiness for Jesus second coming and how to live so as to please God. The bible devotes an entire chapter (Hebrews 11) providing snapshots of men and women who were beacons of light in their generation. You can be the same in this generation!
This podcast reduces this critical need to its bare essentials, with guaranteed results.</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>The ’Return of Jesus’ is on the horizon. Many are looking for signs and events signaling the nearness of this prophetic milestone. The salient question before us is: How should I live? What matters should occupy my focus? The moral requirement is to be ”a people in waiting”, living their lives set apart for the glory and pleasure of the coming King. Paul presents poignant, life changing truths to the church in Rome which directly impact the sanctity (”holiness”) of their lives and ours by extension. These truths focused on the repentant human being having been intimately included in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus</itunes:summary>

The Holy Spirit simultaneously removes his restraining influence and unveils the Son of Perdition, the Antichrist on the world stage (2 These. 2:5-8). The Holy Spirit is on the earth accomplishing two objectives: transforming believers into mature beings in Christ and preventing the Antichrist from arriving on the world stage to advance his evil objectives until the appointed time. This dual event is clearly represented by Christ, in heaven, breaking the first seal of the apocalyptic scroll commencing the 7 year Tribulation.</itunes:summary>

How does this differ from coming to earth in a blaze of universal glory? This first, in a series of podcasts, addresses key events that illuminate this major prophetic milestone.

There are well-meaning Christians in opposing camps regarding the timing of this prophetic milestone.  He is returning for sure. What remains an open issue: For whom is he returning? When is he returning? What happens when he is seen?</itunes:summary>

Individuals and families are questioning their survivability in navigating societal challenges. Many are experiencing a heightened sense of ’helplessness’ in formulating a favorable response plan.

This podcast is a timely exhortation to watch! You wonder: ”what am I to watch for?” 
Jesus reminded his audience that Noah reminded his audience that a time of reckoning approaches. Watchers over the souls of men must watch and warn!

Biblical watchmen offered protection from an enemy or any existential threat; they looked for approaching friends as well.  We are the watchmen of our times - to alert the Saints and warn the sleepers!</itunes:summary>

-The Middle East war is on the brink of escalation
-Nations are polarized over restricted personal freedoms and immigration policies
-Violence is escalating beyond public safety control
-Manufactured pandemics portend greater negative global impacts
and a myriad of events that are converging in a manner that points to the next God-ordained event: The removal of the Holy Spirit from the earth (2 Thess. 2:5-8).
Biblical writers exhorted Christians that they should live in readiness as they ”see the day approaching”. Are you seeing the day approaching? The Church at Thessalonica had concerns regarding the ”Day of Jehovah” which commences with the rise of the Son of Perdition, the Man of Sin. Paul wrote this second letter to quiet their concerns!</itunes:summary>

David, after being a victim of a wrath-triggering experience, was skillfully moved by this woman to remain in God’s will as it pertained to his life and service. The tools used, manner of conversing, even her ”body language” conveyed the divinely sent sentiment: David, your life and purpose matters more than the momentary opportunity for exacting vengeance.</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>As the ”Days of Noah” have arrived, we are to be ready for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. People are looking to the heavens in the form of solar or lunar eclipses but the message of the scripture is to reflect on Noah’s days and the days of Lot as he lived in the cities of the Plains. The cultural, moral, and spiritual conditions are identical! The Spirit assured as Abraham spoke with Jehovah - the righteous and unrighteous shall not be judged together. For the Christian, Christ’s second advent portends glory! For the remaining souls, certain judgment. Live ready. . .</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>We are in ”The Last Days”. This is not subject to debate. We have survived and are wrestling with residual effects of pandemics, societal anarchy, new sexual aberrations, the upsurge of ’New Age’ religious practices, unbounded immorality, biblical spiritual decline . . .  Jesus, the Christ, was clear in his warning that ”as it was in the day of Noah, so also shall be the coming of the Son of Man . . . until the day on which Noah entered the ark”  (Mt. 24:37-39). Sudden judgement comes upon the careless or unaware because of the failure to see the ”signs of the times”. Christians are to live in readiness for that day. We embrace Christ’s warning of end-time prophetic events while seeking to maintain a closer walk with God in uncertain times.</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>The critical truth showing how God hears your voice, and mankind is blessed was given by Jesus, the Christ in Mathew’s Gospel, 17:14-21 and Mark 9:14-27. Prayer with fasting causes your voice to ”heard on high” and creates spiritual power and influence for the kingdom God, man’s good, and holiness in a pagan world. Prayer with fasting has long been neglected and relegated to Christian Mystics. Let your voice be heard in heaven’s throne and in the presence of the Living God!</itunes:summary>

In Christ is fulness of joy, grace for living, conquering challenges, or enduring trials. Added to that is the growing awareness of His presence in your life, and when all is said and done, added the  joy of frequent and consistent answers to your petitions.

        <itunes:summary>The grace of God is the Christian’s ”enabling power.” God’s grace planted us together in the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is grace that enables the Spirit of God to manifest the character of Christ in our mortal bodies. It is grace and the power of the Holy Spirit that make deliverance from sin’s power a reality in the life of every Christian if we would ”reckon ourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.”  There is no power in any person or any method that can deliver from the power of sin apart from the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>The Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus are the two significant events God uses to expiate the repentant person’s crimes against God. The critical issue is the removal of sin from before a Holy God. God subsequently gives two perpetual reminders assuring the Christian that their guilt and judgment for sin is fully expiated: The Holy Spirit’s presence in our mortal bodies and the seating of the Lord Jesus, in perpetuity, on the majestic throne in heaven. This assures the Christian: ”It is well with my soul.”</itunes:summary>

God’s presence is not enjoyed as before, nor is it counted as a necessity for a successful, morally clean, biblically based life. 2. Time alone with God and his word is reduced to a chore. 3.

        <itunes:summary>The popular notion is that we can create the life of our dreams by practicing the Law of Attraction.  Is there merit to this philosophy? Answered prayer becomes reality when we seek God’s presence and aid.  Adherence to the Law of Attraction suggests we can put forth the effort and an act of the will to bring that desired life to pass. Perhaps the greatest risk is that it suggests that we are, in essence, gods generating outcomes based on an untested methodology. This new-age philosophy ultimately robs of us the rich experience of God’s grace, providence, and growth in Christlikeness.</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>God’s Presence is the ”Jewel” of the spiritual life! While we exist in a chaotic cosmos, we resort to God’s Presence as the most important event of our spiritual life regardless of circumstances. Our trial may even necessitate separation from our busy lives for prayer with fasting, in the full assurance that deliverance will follow. Crisis driving us to God is a recurring theme throughout the Scriptures, and this is no different for any of us - this is standard in the Christian life!</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>Eternal life, Faith in God, Being holy as He is holy, and Loving the brotherhood are all components of a “covenant relationship.” If believers breach the covenant terms they made with God, what recourse does the Almighty have? Now, we must contend with an angry God. People marvel at the notion that God gets angry. We ignore the sacredness of His covenants, breach them, and are surprised that judgment follows because of the breach. Anger is a justifiable reaction. The covenant presupposes the exercise of “good faith. “ and mutual benefit.</itunes:summary>

We experience a reduced need to be holy, fearlessness in offending a Holy God, and lives bearing thorns, thistles, &amp; weeds, and calling it ”fruit.” This notion of fearing God seems foreign to society and, sadly, even the churches. The quest to avoid offending God is absent in the lives of Christians. We have lost the sense of the dreadful glory of God and the eliciting of a response reticent to offend him. Our primary objective ought to be I should never displease or arouse his wrath</itunes:summary>

In its place will be a religion where the Antichrist is worshipped. This will fill the vacancy.

        <itunes:summary>Why God delays in responding to our heartfelt needs and prayers is difficult spiritual experience to comprehend. During the delay, God is in the process of creating and executing a noble purpose which can only be accomplished with the delay. This experience is not unique but part of the mysterious ways of God to strengthen our faith in His providential care. The Holy Spirit is actively bringing us closer to God and strengthening our faith to receive, with joy, the very thing we requested of God.The delay is to cause us to look beyond our circumstances, our sense of worth or lack of it, or any attempt on our part to ”induce God to favor us”. He is developing implicit trust in His providential love and care.</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>The Holy Spirit is the divine agent for executing the creation of a chaotic universe into an ordered ecosystem; He is the agent who caused the widow’s oil to flow continuously at the word of the Prophet Elisha; The Holy Spirit made the waters under Peter’s feet firm to sustain his walk to Jesus; He is the executor of the release of the demoniac of Gadara, having driven out Legion’s demons from that captive soul - He is the only power able to manifest Christ in our mortal bodies to a darkened world, if we would but yield.</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>This final episode expands on the factors that interfere and influence the believer’s faith in God, resulting in a shift of their confidence to time tested methods that have nothing to do with the workings of the Omnipotent God. Complacency often weakens our trust because we don’t have active trials compelling us to sustain our faith.  When trials enter our lives it is God’s way of shaking us out of our apathy to trust Him with singleness of heart and enables us to see the ”Fingerprint of God”. This episode addresses the risks associated with complacency, time, and other influences which interfere with a single hearted faith in God</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>This third podcast episode takes us into the life of King Asa, revealing his thinking as he looked to God with ”singleness” of heart. This confidence was not misplaced, as God is willing, wanting, and responsive in applying providential, loving care, honoring King Asa’s faith. This interchange is God’s standard for every believer whose sole confidence is in the ”great and precious promises” of God  allowing us and giving us the privilege of being partakers of His divine nature (2 Peter 1:3,4).</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>The ways of God are almost always mysterious except when we are looking to him to show himself strong on our behalf, as is promised in 2 Chronicles 16:9. This second podcast examines God’s consistent way in the life of King ASA’s life. This is the king whom God revealed this spiritual pattern in God’s dealings with believers. God’s purpose, method, his desired outcome in the life of the believer are clearly displayed in in @ Chronicles 16. The faith heroes of Hebrews chapter 11 overcame by the very same method outlined in King Asa’s life.  Let us examine together how we can touch ”The Invisible Hand of God” by faith.</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>The early Christians impacted and fostered change throughout the Roman Empire without attempting to challenge and override the ruling authorities. The force of a life transformed by the Indwelling Christ and His Salt-Transforming power changed their lives and that of the empire. We are challenged to override the cultural decay, not by decrying its evils but by lives infused by and filled with the Presence of Christ. This podcast addresses the Salt-infused life, heart, thought, and devotion. They lived Christ fully and drove change throughout the Roman Empire; so too we in the 21st century are faced with this challenge - becoming counter culture agents of change.</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>People view life and circumstances through the eyes of intelligence. This is a flawed spiritual approach because people cannot, by intellect alone, approach, understand, and fellowship with the Infinite God. More over, our interactions with people are hampered significantly because we need transformed hearts to appropriately minister to the needs of those around us. This is a work that only the Holy Spirit can effect.</itunes:summary>

There is great opportunity to see a greater working of God‘s Spirit in one‘s life along with an increased experience of peace because God validates His presence to the Christian living by faith. Enoch was an ordinary man experiencing the extraordinary because he learned to secret, which is no secret at all. ”Much faith pleases God  very much!”.

This is achievable by examining the life style, and claims of the one who has become ”the prophet” in their  life. Additionally, the Christian has spiritual capacity to discern the authenticity of the ”prophetic voice” in their life to Jesus Christ, his teachings, and works and contrast it with the life of the person who is their ”prophetic voice” to determine if the prophet is false or genuine</itunes:summary>
