Secondhand Smoke | Firefighters | Part 3 | Jerry Flowers
You can't keep the lungs of your walk with Jesus cancer-free if you don't have spiritual insight on how to identify secondhand smoke.

You can't keep the lungs of your walk with Jesus cancer-free if you don't have spiritual insight on how to identify secondhand smoke.
Passion without vulnerability, empathy, commitment and honor is simply infatuation. The words, "I love you," will not be enough to sustain a relationship or marriage. Love is an action that must be lived out, not just spoken.
The role of The Holy Spirit was never to spark your faith. He was purposed to engulf your faith because proximity determines temperature. Let it burn!
The quality of your heart and the health of your soul affects too many people for you to ignore when the limp remains.
Perhaps God is not holding you back. What if this isn't punishment or the devil but rather a season where God is trying to give your faith some flames?
Last year was the last year that I didn't steward the currency of my time well. You know how much money is in your bank account, but you don't know how much time is left on your clock. The greatest contributor to our spiritual laziness is we think we have more time!
For some, it takes a certain dispensation of time for us to truly see what needs to end in our lives. Time will tell!
It isn't time that's setting you back, but rather when we fail to put our trust in God’s timing. Time isn't our biggest hinderance when it comes to time-management, It's our inability to discern time wasters!
Sometimes pain and purpose are married, which means you can't birth anything without pain. What if God is trying to see if He can trust you with that disappointment?
The enemy waits for the right time to get us to fall for his traps and temptation but God always sends warnings when we're being sneaky and on our way to a trap. Notice the timing!
The enemy wants to get us at the wrong tables, feeding on entrees from the wrong place with the ultimate goal being for us to waste our time. It's critical that we know that Jesus came to overturn every table that would cause for us to miss our appointment!
One of the first ordinances of the Kingdom for earth revolved around timing. "Let there be light... greater lights by day and lesser lights by night." God is saying there is a time for the sun to shine and there's a time for the moon to shine. If this is true then one of the warfare strategies of the enemy is to get us to waste time.
It is unfortunate that in many religious gatherings, many have come to expect a "Yes" from God, but what do you do when God says, "no?" God wants us to know His voice so that we conform to His character, not the culture.
Satan comes only to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus came so that we would have life and have it more abundantly! How can we live the abundant life if we keep engaging in the self sabotaging behavior Jesus died to save us from?
It's going to be hard to walk in your calling, if you can't hear the voice of The One Who is calling you.
The enemy operates with a demonic math equation. He wants to add voices ➕ to subtract clarity ➖, so he can multiply confusion ✖️, causing division between your will and The Holy Spirit ➗, which equals = uncertainty!
It's dangerous when you're trying to give birth when the wrong voice is in your ear. Even Jesus, The King Of Glory, was intentional with who was around Him during moments of vulnerability.
One of the worst types of illnesses that you can receive is a projection infection, which causes for you to believe a narrative that was authored by someone else's wounds.
Don't stay stuck — get up, pick up your pallet and walk! We have to be willing to go through this process in order to no longer be rooted in our sin.
Are you truly healed, or are you simply isolated from all of your past triggers? Often times, we heal just enough to be able to identify our trauma, but not to the degree to be rid of the pain the trauma has caused in our lives.
The greatest threat to your life and relationships is unwanted people in private places where they don't belong. You can't control the voices that try to influence you externally, but you can for those you invite into in your bedroom.
It's possible for you to lose yourself when the relationship or a season ends. DON'T LOSE YOU!
We are the bride of Christ. One of the last postures Jesus had before His crucifixion was on His knees washing His bride’s feet. He was in a proposal position.
Often times we stay subscribed to things out of comfort, convenience, familiarity or even fear. If we truly desire growth, we must first understand that new growth cannot happen unless you're willing to cut what is no longer beneficial to you.
If we don't understand the significance of grace, we'll fail to grasp the authority we have to war in the spirit, and most importantly that we are heirs of the Father.
When you've grown up in a combat zone, warfare becomes familiar to such a degree that peace causes skepticism. In the same way, normalized dysfunction has conditioned us to the point where we have confused what happiness truly is. It isn't until our eyes have been opened that we're able to see hazardous roads have become our normal.
This message addresses the need for us to be able to identify bad theology and false teaching. Eloquent speech and charisma mixed with heresy has deceived many, so in order to avoid deception we must be students of truth!
What do you do when God says the answer is no? There's so much teaching about when God is saying yes, but what about the under teaching when God is saying this is not yours, this is not your door, this is not your season or this is not your time? This word is designed to help us identify a no from God.
Your healing matters. Whatever is not dealt with in this season, will show up in the front row of your emotions in the next season.
We're lost in a forest of regrets, what if's, and where am I's, but Jesus says, "unless you become like little children!" Who you were before all of this was the original form of who God called you to be. If we can get back to this place of nakedness, we will be free from shame.
