Episode Notes Did you know you’re a king? Yeshua calls us as kings and priests of His Kingdom. And as any king, you have treasures. But are some of us squandering our inheritance?
Episode Notes Look around you and ask: Where are the youth at our churches and conferences? Why are the numbers shrinking, and what can we do about it? We have a potential generational crisis on our hands with the next generation leaving the faith, and we must take prompt action, starting in our own households. Join me in this Thursday livestream to discuss this important issue.
Episode Notes Yeshua told us what the coming New Kingdom will be like, but are we already walking that kingdom out on Earth? Are we treating who will be greatest in the coming kingdom as the greatest today? Perhaps most surprisingly, Yeshua describes the "greatest" in the coming Kingdom to be whom we least expect.
Episode Notes When we've been deeply hurt by someone, the call to forgive them can seem possible at first - we pray the prayer, declare our forgiveness, yet we wake up the next day angry all over again. And 20 years later, we find ourselves with a heart of bitterness. How do we find lasting forgiveness? Forgiveness is not a prayer, or a single moment, but biblically - so much more. Join PD as he explores how to sow lasting forgiveness in our hearts.
Episode Notes The other day as PD and I were out for a walk, we came across the worst smell on planet earth: a dead skunk. But in my prayer time, God showed me that the worst smell on earth isn't a skunk, it's our sin. Join me as I delve into three things that Scripture says are a sweet aroma for our King!
Episode Notes What did Yeshua mean when he told the Samaritan woman that God is calling a people who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth? Has the phrase "Spirit and Truth worship" become a cliché that has often been used, but rarely understood? Join PD and Zadoak Ministries as they have a podcast conversation exploring what Biblical Spirit and Truth worship is, looking at the walk of Yeshua.
Episode Notes "The most comprehensive look at whether spiritual gifts ceased on the Internet!" Many Christians believe the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased with the 12 Apostles, but have they? This podcast will test all prominent Cessationist arguments, look at early church history and eyewitness accounts, and most importantly - test all these to Scripture. TABLE OF CONTENTS 00:00 Intro & Important Disclaimers 8:37 Brief Overview SECTION 1 - TESTING THE PURPOSES OF SPIRITUAL GIFTS 1...
Episode Notes Shalom everyone! I've been quiet lately, for good reason. The past few weeks, Father has guided me in putting together what I believe may be one of the most comprehensive evaluations of Cessationism ever done before. Cessationism is the prominent Reformed belief that the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased with the 12 Apostles. This video will test all prominent Cessationist arguments, look at history and eyewitness accounts, and most importantly - test all these to Scripture...
Episode Notes As important as teachers are in the Body, have we elevated them at the expense of other offices? Has the Five Fold ministry become One Fold? And could this have caused us to lose out on aspects of Christ’s ministry? Join this teaching on Ephesians 4 and the restoration of the offices God is calling us back to!
Episode Notes Over the past few months, a popular teaching has been going around on Facebook: That because the Holy Spirit dwells within you, you CANNOT welcome the Holy Spirit into your service, home, or space - even going so far as to say that trying to “welcome the Holy Spirit” is a form of manipulation. But is this teaching Biblical? Where is the Holy Spirit? And how do we relate with Him? Join PD and Christina as they go back to Scripture and discuss.
Episode Notes We can feel mature in faith due to our intellectualism or even great demonstrations of faith. But there is something that, if missed, would spell most unfortunate for the life of a believer: A lack of good fruit. Good fruit isn’t being the smartest or having the most faith, it’s demonstrating the character of your Messiah to people around you – and especially your enemies! Do you bear good fruit? Join PD & Christina in this brief teaching to evaluate each fruit of the Spirit in...
Episode Notes Today more than ever, our young people are leaving the faith because they have never personally encountered Yeshua or they’ve been taught false gospels promoted by our churches or culture. But what is the Gospel, biblically? Join Christina as she explores how the Good News of Yeshua is revealed in the Garden of Eden like you’ve never heard before. This is your invitation to take part in God’s restoration plan - restoring the Garden and bringing God’s Kingdom to earth as it is in he...
Something beautiful is coming: Imagine a people of God worshiping Him in holiness & truth; and in the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit. A people who keep the commandments, yet heal the sick, speak in tongues and prophesy. These are those who fulfill Yeshua's desire of a people who will rise to worship Him in Spirit & Truth! But to get there, we need accountability and order, so as to not repeat the mistakes of those who have come before us. Join PD & Dr. David Jones as they discuss...
Episode Notes It's easy to point out someone's sin or faults when we believe we have the moral authority and superiority to do so. But do we become hypocrites when we do so without authentic love for them as a person, or real concern for their future, both eternal and here on earth? In this video, PD and Christina respond to well-known Psychologist Jordan Peterson as he shares his heart-felt thoughts on this topic.
Episode Notes New episode in the Divided Bible Series! Missed Part 1? Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhx38... For many, although the Old Testament contains good stories and lessons, some of its commandments are practically regarded as an ancient relic of the past. More relevant for an ancient people than for us. Superseded by the more-modern, more-relevant New Testament. But what if the New Covenant was so more than many believers grasp? How did the Early Church move in such grea...
Episode Notes Throughout the scriptures, the flesh is spoken of as if it's the enemy of the believer, at enmity with the Spirit, and comes in our way of communion with God. But didn't God create this fleshly body we dwell in? In this video, we answer a question from one of our listeners. 🔥 Make a donation to sustain this ministry: https://www.riseonfire.com/partner/...
Episode Notes Recently, theology has emerged among believers that while the New Testament provides us the Messiah and solution to sin, apart from this nothing new or unique was given. But the question is: Did the Old Testament believers have access to the Holy Spirit in the same way that we have today? Your answer to this question will radically change the way you interpret the New Testament and what your life as a disciple is to look like. Unfortunately, believers to be divided over this questi...
Episode Notes Corrupt pastors, the Prosperity Gospel, Kundalini spirits, Fake Healings...we've all seen or experienced the harm caused by these counterfeit and deceptive gospels. However, is it possible that the trauma caused by spiritual abuse has clouded our vision and caused us to reject what IS true in God's Kingdom? What does Scripture say about Leadership, Giving, Spiritual Gifts, and the Holy Spirit - and what SHOULD they look like?
Episode Notes Miriam was a prophetess that helped deliver Moses from the Egyptians, was the first worship leader of Israel - singing the Song of Moses, and witness all of God's wonders over Egypt. Yet her life ends as a mere footnote of her death in an unrelated verse. An unfortunate legacy the scriptures do not praise. Her good deeds were overshadowed the day she opposed Moses; and her speech caused a spiritual leprosy to invade Israel, even indirectly leading to the death of 14,700. But it's s...
Episode Notes You heard it right. Join me live as I embark upon the challenge to read a list of every single commandment in the New Testament!
Episode Notes In the fall, not only was Adam & Eve kicked out of the Garden of Eden, but they were introduced to a new one. Part of the curse of the fall allowed for new types of plants to be introduced, bearing thorns & thistles. Demonstrating the consequences of listening to the wrong voice, and how a new seed has infiltrated God's creation. But God now calls His people to restore His Garden back to the world, battling against the deceit of the enemy and wickedness in this world. But i...
Episode Notes We all know the headlines. It seems like its a new one every other week now. The latest pastor who has fallen into adulteries, or even raping younger children. It is quite easy for the church to point the finger at the immoralities of the world, but are we not to judge inside the church? Not all of Christianity is guilty of this. But when was the last time you heard a sermon on how God considers the sin of adultery so serious, that He instituted the death penalty? Or how with rape ...
Episode Notes Join PD and Christina for this podcast-style conversation where Christina makes an embarrassing confession😂: "Growing up, I had little to no concept about the Holy Spirit or the Spiritual Gifts - I rarely heard them mentioned, and I never saw them practiced by those around me! Shortly before I met Pd, I knew something was missing in my faith walk, and I had a burning desire to walk more like Yeshua. However it was only when I met PD and got to know him that I realized how little I...
Episode Notes Hannibal grew up in a church where many people "Spoke in Tongues." But he also grew confused and lonely because he didn't himself. After being spiritually wounded regarding this gift, he lost interest almost completely. But years later, God awoke his spirit to a reignited desire for spiritual gifts. And the first gift God wants him to have? Speaking in Tongues.
Episode Notes Why are we here? What is the point of this life? What is our purpose and do we have value? These are the questions that each of us face, but are there answers? The answer to these questions is the very thing that would unlock our greatest potential, give us freedom and true fulfillment, and help us live a life of purpose - a life that not just for the “now” but for eternity.
We live in a voice-activated world, where every word we say to others or speak over ourselves has the power of life or death, to build-up or tear-down. But as Scripture says, we speak out what our hearts are full of. Whose voice are you listening to in your life, Yeshua’s voice or the enemy? It’s time to stop giving the enemy’s lies authority in your life, it’s time to walk in your true identity as an image-bearer of the King. Remember which Kingdom you represent - your words have power, speak l...
The American Dream is the western world's ideal: A pursuit of happiness each person is in a race for. But as good as the "American Dream" sounds, is it Biblical? I would like to submit to you that many believers are chasing after a ghost of the American Dream full of empty promises. Some of us have pursued it, only to be left feeling more lonely than ever before. And even for those of us who tried avoiding it, this mindset has influenced the way we see ourselves, others, and even God. Join me in...
Episode Notes When we are about to be confronted with the one who witnesses everything, how will we respond? Today I'd like to take you on a journey to a strange story few people know in the Bible: The Test of the Adulterous Woman. A story not just about an adulterous woman, but each of us. What does an adulterous woman have to do with you? Everything, because God has called you to become a spotless Bride of Christ, and one day we will each need to take an oath of innocence. But Yeshua warns us ...
Episode Notes The thief on the cross had nothing to offer God, yet Christ saved Him at his last moments because of His faith. The simplicity of the gospel is genuinely demonstrated. But the thief has also often been brought up as the role model for living a Christian life of "mere belief" without deep commitment towards the faith. Did Christ die for us to live as the thief, only to realize the mistake on our deathbed? In reality, it actually seems as though the thief was one of the worst example...
God has called a new era upon us, where His people have become walking temples of Spirit & Truth bringing in a great harvest. But it's going to require of His people to leave the edges of the field for the poor, so they may receive the True Manna from Heaven. THIS is our food: To do the will of our Father in heaven this Shavuot!
