In this teaching PD details the nature of "Generational Curses" as scripture outlines it: The consequences of sin that can span generations in more ways than we realize. When God said: "The life is in the blood", He hinted at how what we live out - good or evil - will be in our blood, and what is in our blood can be carried over generations, unless the curse is broken through Yeshua.
Speaking in Tongues is one of the more mysterious spiritual gifts, and because of this, it has even been feared by some believers. Some fear that they might accidentally "curse God" or "speak from a different spirit." Paul demonstrates, it is possible to speak in tongues without having the interpretation yourself (1 Cor 14:13), so how do we walk out this gift with the peace that we do so in purity and in worship to God? Because of these fears, the gift of tongues has been forbidden in some circl...
Join me live now as I pray for you and the nations live.
In this live broadcast, we will be answering various questions sent in by listeners, including the topic of casting out demons, the mark of the beast, being a bold witness for the gospel, and more.
A video to share with your New Age friends! Another world exists outside of this one, much bigger and more influential than many realize, comprised of two kingdoms with a battle between good and evil. The Kingdom of Light is holy, pure, honest, and true. But the kingdom of darkness is continually trying to disguise itself as "good" through crafty lies to deceive man. As witchcraft increases and is being practiced more openly than ever before, it is important for us to distinguish the light from ...
When God sent out the 12 disciples to cast out demons, heal the sick, raise the dead and cleanse lepers, He didn't promise that it would be easy. In fact, human nature being confronted with these seemingly "impossible" instructions, even from God, can bring great fear. These instructions, while beautiful (as they bring life) can seem scary, because we are the ones they were assigned to. This kind of instruction also isn't new. God wants the best for us, promised lands flowing with milk and honey...
God is calling warriors. People who are willing to be bold for His Kingdom, and who are faithful and unafraid of walking in the power of His Holy Spirit. Join me with Victor LaBarbera LIVE today at 6:00PM as we share inspiring testimonies of how God is doing this, and discuss how we enter a walk with Holy Spirit operating in our lives. If He did it before, surely He desires to do it again - even through you! Speaker: PD Vander Westhuizen Guest Speaker: Victor LaBarbera
I am so excited to announce to you all something that has been in the works for a long time by an incredibly devoted and hard-working group of people who made this possible: the Spanish translation of the Reigniting Spirit & Truth book! “Reencendiendo Espíritu y Verdad” is now available to all!

The recent killing of George Floyd by a police officer sparked protests and even violent riots across the United States. The god of this world (Satan) takes joy in segregation, discrimination, violence, and all expressions of hatred. While the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob takes joy in our unity, patience, and love for all people and righteousness. Unbeknown to many, Jesus faced many of the same problems rooted in hate that we face today. There were many "flames on the rise" in the first cen...
In some movements, certain, or all spiritual gifts are thrown aside as unimportant. This is a grave error and leads to a lack of power in the lives of believers, causing them to struggle to walk out the commission given by the Messiah. In this teaching, we will discuss one of the biggest reasons some are unable to powerfully walk in spiritual gifts, and how to get rid of this barrier so we may enter into walking in the gift Father has set apart for us.
Many modern believers have found themselves in a religion that has drifted from the exciting normality of the first-century church. The Holy Spirit's role was recognized as absolutely necessary in the life of every believer for them to make a valuable contribution to the Body of Christ through their own spiritual gifts. Holy Spirit didn't get a "sideline role" as we often see today but was valued to be just as important as Jesus' dwelling with men in the flesh was. This is what it is supposed to...
Just before the crucifixion Jesus told His disciples to take swords as they were leaving for the garden. But why would Jesus instruct them to take swords, only to later correct Peter for using it as he cuts the ear of the high priests' servant? In this teaching, we will discuss this question in relation to biblical prophecy, knowing the will of God, being zealous like Peter, and the relevance of the Garden of Gethsemane to this event. I hope this revelation blesses you as it has me!...
From perhaps the beginning, Satan has tried to implant a religious spirit in our hearts - one of pride, self-seeking, and one that hates the workings of the Holy Spirit. And unfortunately, the religious spirit is hard to detect by those who have it. In this video, we will look at various attributes of the religious spirit so you may audit your heart to easily identify any of its influence in your life. Freedom from a religious spirit will mean more of His Holy Spirit this Pentecost!...
We often find that the physical observances the Father asks us to do, while important, are only the "tip of the iceberg". What He is sometimes even more interested in is the transformation of our hearts and learning of the intended spiritual lessons that come with the physical observances. And the book of Leviticus is no different. While it has often been considered as too "weird", inapplicable or even incompatible to our modern lives. That perspective misses perhaps most of the purpose of the L...
Those who reject Paul as a False Apostle typically cite a large number of "reasons" to attempt to persuade the reader that their case is stronger. However, if their stance was correct, they would only need one: That the rest of the apostles denied Paul. But the opposite is true, and this actually becomes one of the strongest reasons for how we know Paul is a true Apostle! See the proof text discussed in this video.
We are entering an age where more and more false prophets will start arising. Last year at the feast of Sukkot in Texas, I spoke on this very idea, and we are seeing it come to fruition in 2020. These false prophets will be allowed by God to go forth to test His people, to see where their hearts are (Deut 13). These false prophets will also be used by the enemy to accomplish certain goals and deceive in certain ways. I hope this teaching edifies you in understanding the deceptions of the enemy i...
A week ago, "Christian Truthers" released a teaching titled, "50 Reasons to Never Quote Paul Again." The video attempted to prove that Paul is a false apostle, that we should treat him as such, and throw out all his books from our Bibles. Some people who listened to this teaching were persuaded by a few of the "arguments." This was a distressing observation, as the points raised in the teaching were incredibly weak. I joined with David Wilber (119 Ministries) to discuss this teaching in-depth as...
Jesus told us to remain childlike for a reason. Sometimes we get too "grown-up" and "mature" for our own good. We take pride in our understanding of complex theological concepts, or superb knowledge. But do we do the basics? Could it be that we sometimes try to chew meat before we even have teeth? And then we end up going hungry because we can't truly apply what we've learned; because we don't know the basics yet. Sometimes we need milk, not solid food. What is it that you need today? I hope thi...
Recently I overheard an interview with a man who said that he "converted to flat earth in 3 minutes" after he heard of the theory. He stated that after all the things he's been lied to before, from things concerning his religion to other lies by the government, he can't trust anything he's been taught anymore. And for that reason, he simply concluded that this conspiracy theory is another that "must be true. ", even without further research. And it made me think, how susceptible are we to quickl...
The world is captivated by the coronavirus. But thousands of years ago, God gave His yearly feast days to be kept forever. Why forever? Because He knew that as time goes on, and birth pains increase, the world will be captivated by more and more things to be afraid of. But He continuously calls His people to be captivated with His season. This is not the season of the Coronavirus! This is His. During the Passover season, we are focused on cleansing our homes from sin. But thereafter we need to l...
For a time, many have assumed that walking in God's law is contrary to walking in the Spirit. This is because of Paul's fierce language against circumcision, which he calls a "yoke of slavery." He also says that anyone who tries to keep the law, is obligated to keep it all! So now, we must rather "walk in the Spirit" (Galatians 5:5). But what if the idea of "circumcision" Paul is addressing was not the biblical circumcision? What if Paul has never been against keeping any of God's law (Romans 3:...
When Paul speaks of the story of Sarah & Hagar allegorically, some have thought that Paul is saying that anyone who tries the keep God's law, is trying to be a slave like Hagar. But this misunderstanding has come in because few truly understand the simple story of Sarah & Hagar in Scripture. When we understand what Abraham and Sarah's error was, we will be in a much better position to accurately interpret how Paul was using this famous story to teach us something very important. In this ...
Panic has captivated the world as various plagues sweep across it. Many have criticized churches for closing, others criticized others for desiring to go out and pray for the sick. Many have been in a panic, while others take on a more careless approach. But why is all of this happening, prophetically speaking? What is the biblical response of the believer suppose to look like? The Bible - it's stories and lessons - have clear answers to all of these timely questions. And in this video, we will ...
Paul famously called the Galatians "foolish" in his letter. This has often been taught to be due to their desire to follow God's law. But what if biblical and historical contexts teach us that they were foolish for starting to believe a prevalent lie circulating in the first century? It has also often been concluded that Paul's writings regarding the law as a "schoolmaster" downplays its importance in a believer's life - that the law was only important for a little while until Christ came. Is Go...
Galatians is perhaps one of the most misunderstood and hard to understand books of the Bible. Without an understanding of the 1st-century culture - it's people and the issues Paul faced, it would be impossible to fully understand what Paul is teaching. This is simply because we are reading someone else's mail - the Galatians. In this series, we will uncover the history to reveal a deeper meaning to each of Paul's verses. And I think you'll see as we begin that this information has rarely ever be...
In the midst of an outbreak such as the Coronavirus, it is easy to focus all our attention on physical preparations. But have you prepared spiritually?
A quick update on a recent announcement of spiritual attack. Thank you for your support in this season!
Hi brothers and sisters, This is the hardest video I’ve ever done from the over 300 videos on the Rise on Fire channel. Things have been very hard health wise and I have found myself in the wilderness. A place where I know only God can deliver me and give me nourishment. I believe the various things that have happened to me are no coincidence, it is spiritual attack by the enemy. I hope this video will give you clarity on the matter. Please consider me in your prayers. Many blessings in Messiah ...
Let's be honest, there's one thing about this whole "relationship with God" thing that makes us really uncomfortable: We can't control Him. And that is terrifying sometimes. In the past, we created idols of wood and stone. They said and thought what we made them say and thought through our imaginations. But the One True Living God is not determined by our thoughts. He does what He wants, thinks what He wants; and even sees everything. Instead of those idols we made in our image, like clay in our...
Regarding the controversial spiritual gift of speaking in tongues, there are generally two camps of belief, which disagree with one another. The main obstacle is disagreement on what the gift practically looks like. We can agree on what happened in Acts 2, but is there more to it than that one event? Paul describes the gift in-depth, and describes it in a way that seems to indicate that the gift is more than a "sign" or "miracle" for unbelievers, but can even bring great edification to a believe...
