Life Around "The Fire"

Knowledge of and by itself is good, but too much of it tends to produce a snobbish undercurrent of superiority and arrogance.
Words and works... We need both.
Works alone tend to produce a hyped, sensensaionalist, shallow, and ignorant type of lifestyle.
Works and words... We need both.
In the Western Hemispher of Planet Earth we need more works of the Kingdom.
In the more remote areas of civilization on Planet ...

It's okay to have high powered racing engines and be an expert on how they work.
However, if all you do is study the engine, look at it, and every once in awhile take it out and slowly drive it around the block a few times and then put it back in the garage without really driving it for all it's worth... whata drag...what fun is that?
Same thing goes for someone who knows a lot about God and His written Word but n...

We'll be picking up on our tour through Ephesians very soon as it pertains to an outline provided for us concerning spiritually mature behavior.
The outline is: Being born-again, imagers of God living in us, what God does looks like as He reveals Himself to us and through us?
Who do the people who really know me see when we get together?
Do they mainly meet just a lot of me or do they first and foremost see Jesus i...

I am pleased to announce: "The Day of The Super Star Minstry Is Over."
No more Mavericks or Lone Rangers need apply!
You are officially "Dinasours"... creatures from a different era.
These are the days of the Body of Christ giving honor to THE HEAD... Yeshua Hamashiach/Jesus Christ !
He is front and center.
He has made God, The Father known.
He loves us completely because of our LORD maki...

People say that a picture is worth a thousand words.
And they are absolutely right!
However, a true story about an authentic transformation of a man from the inside out... That is pricelss.
Jon Trask is one of the coolest guys I have met in the past 30 years.
He has a resume that would blow you away.
But, that's not what he is sharing in this podcast episode.
In fact, John is a true example of what God ...

There are some things that will not happen unless we do something.
Only receiving things and having our minds focused on being needy is more than a bad habbit and poor social hygene... It's infectious and can spread rapidly though entire communities which contributes to us doing nothing.
Nothing changes if we do nothing.
Having a poverty mentality can become a cultural norm in which people learn to live in it like ...

Being transformed and empowered from the inside out, by the very Life of God that  dwells in a person, by the dynamite power of the Holy Spirit Who creates them into being born-again, alive spiritually...  
That is vastly different from being a person doubling down into nothing more than an exhausted pool of failure, trying hard on their own strength and efforts to be a good, religious person yet in the end only experiencing in...

Being in an environment that is filled with confidence, peace, security, comfort, strength, wisdom, and forgiveness, all wraped up in true, unconditional love is almost unheard of these days.
Yet, that's the type of people Jesus has called us to be and to keep becoming  more and more mature until...
Until He returns back to Earth to manifest His Kingdom in a very dynamic and everlasting way in the Earth as it is in Hea...

God has never told us to "DO" holy.
He said, "BE" holy, because He is holy.
DOING and BEING are two seperate things.
We will never DO holy things without first BEING made holy (from the inside out not the efforts of us on the outside trying to change the inside by doubling down and trying harder to be good).
Holiness does as holiness is.
Also, it's impossible for anyone to just  "jo...

Blaming our existance on being a product of our environment keeps us in a place of weakness and in bondage to the control of others.
Self-help, self-positive talk, and positive thinking using only our own willpower will never be enough to actually sustain our lives through the long haul of daily life and all that goes along with it.
We need to have a more substantial and Life-giving Scorece in the core of our existance here...

Who we are and what we're doing when noone is watching actually proves the integrity of our words.
God is God whether or not everyone is ignoring Him or you have a true relationship with Him... He's always been, is, and will be God.
Who are you and are you the same regardless of who is with you or if you are all alone and by yourself?
Who are you?
If you're confused... ask God... He'll show you a...

Religious control freaks are going to hate this podcast episode.
Folks who are expeiencing fresh power, significant anointing, and the magnified Presence of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God to you and through you are going to love this and eat IT up!
So, let go of your stering wheel and get out of the drivers seat of your life.
Jesus is in charge of this vehicle and He calls IT, " Eternal Life"!

Risky business and tipping over sacred cows.
Sounds like my kind of living these days.
This podcast started out pretty safe and  quite vanilla flavored a couple of years ago.
Man, have things grown and changed.
We are actually growing up.
In the process of growing up spiritually and experientially it's beginning to draw attention because it makes some people who like to be in a religious type of control rat...

You know how sometimes you get the feeling that you need to hear something, say something, or do something?
This is one of those times.
I heard something, I need to do something, by saying something to you.
You came TO a place in your life that you kind of knew was potentially going to be a rasky thing to do but you went ahead and did it anyway without asking God what was going on.
 You went ahead and got yourself I...

Co-operating with another Life Form?
What is that all about?
It's about us becoming spiritually mature people.
Becoming more and more like Jesus Christ/Yeshu'a Hamashiach.
Becoming like Jesus involves us co-operating with God, The Holy Spirit or Holy Spirit (as He often likes to be referred to as Being... Holy Spirit... I am not the David Huotari... I am David Huotari... He is Holy Spirit).
Fish can&ap...

*** Editor's Note: 2 corrections: 1) The Scriptures in Ephesians David said we would be focusing on and reading were meant to be stated as Epheians 1:15 - 2:10, not  1:14 - 2:10, 2) Also, David said TPC for the Passion Translatation.  Instead, it's The Passion Translation TPT.

By the time I turned 16 years old I couldn't wait to DRIVE my own car!

The Word and The Works...
Jesus both spoke about and demonstrated the reality of God's Eternal Kingdom Realm being here, in our midst, on Planet Earth, in conjunction with the physical realm of time and space that we experience with our natural senses.
Being a mature, whole person involves us being able to see, hear, say, and do a variety of things physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually... Be whole and holy...

What you hear in these next podcast episodes will either cause something inside of you to have a hunger for more of God in your life and becoming able to express His love through your life or this will sound like nothing more than foolish gibberish.
For others, this will not only be like a breath of fresh air but it will serve as another sign of the times in which God is revealing to us more and more of His Kingdom and His Glor...

*** Editor's Note: David mentioned that the Apostle Paul's letters traveled thoughout all of Asia. What he meant to say was the letters had traveled throughout all of "Asia", also known as "Asia Minor" or "Anatolia" which is modern-day "Turkey" (truth in advertising... LoL). We don't mind admitting and correcting ourselves whenever needed... We are all "becoming" matu...
