Episode Notes The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls reveals that the Qumran Community of the 1st-century had many controversial rules & regulations for Sabbath keeping. What is fascinating is that it is these rules that Jesus referenced when speaking to the Pharisees. Jesus is crowned Lord of the Sabbath, amplifying its importance, calling all to believe in God's rest. Now, after 2000 years of Sabbath divisions, He is calling all to enter that rest as He intended, free from the bondage of men. It's time to rediscover the weightier matters of the Sabbath. 🔥 Make a donation to sustain this ministry: https://www.riseonfire.com/partner/ Support Rise on Fire Ministries by contributing to their tip jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/rise-on-fireRead transcript

It's important to leave Egypt in haste, but not without waiting in Jerusalem. It's important to cleanse our house from the world, but not without filling it with the Holy Spirit. As we exited Unleavened Bread, we must now look to the Messiah's words to "Wait in Jerusalem", to receive the New Bread from Heaven. Otherwise, we will find ourselves with a clean house, while our evil desires remain, and the world will creep back in through the rest of the year. It's time to break the cycle, it's time for the Promise of the Promised Land.

Martha was very busy serving, after all, the Messiah was visiting! There couldn't be a more important person to serve. But she was troubled about many things, feeling overwhelmed & burned out. Then Jesus called her to the good portion, which would be what empowers her to serve better than ever before.

EVERYTHING hangs on this: If the resurrection happened, Christ spoke the truth, is the Messiah, and every knee will bow to Him. But if the resurrection never happened, He is a liar to be ignored & forgotten. Millions believe He is indeed the First Fruits of the Resurrection, with a promise to raise all from the dead who would believe in Him. Therefore, it is essential that you weigh the evidence, and truly decide for yourself.

Many think of the Song of Solomon as a tale between a husband & wife, but it's so much more than that. It contains the prophecy about a Bridegroom's abrupt departure, and a bride being late - missing Him at first. But the Bridegroom is coming again!

At the Passover table, the disciples did the unthinkable: Right after Yeshua shares with them about His Body & Blood, a dispute arose among them about "Who is the greatest?" In the midst of one of the most important moments with their Messiah, it seems that they missed who truly is the greatest: A silent lamb about to be slaughtered for the world.

It's time to break open a topic that few talk about, yet thousands are struggling with. Believers all over have entered marriages filled with sorrow and confusion due to lacking, or non-existent sexual intimacy. They feel like they've been sold a bag of goods. And at the same time, Satan has swooped in with temptations to draw those marital sexual desires away into cheap sexual lusts outside the marriage. And so the cycle of destruction begins, and at times, even concludes a marriage with great heartache.

Episode Notes It doesn't begin with pornography - it begins with loneliness, lack of fulfillment & love, or an 'innocent' social media network. It is as easy and dangerous as ever for our eyes to come across things which seek to lead our feet to death. Our culture has normalized shamefulness, and is seeking to slowly but surely tempt you into the ways of the world. And many believing men & women have found themselves in bondage, unable to resist, unable to escape. Join PD with Lex Meyer from Unlearn the Lies as they discuss this timely subject.

Just as Yeshua is about to ascend, He tells the disciples that whosoever they forgive will be forgiven; and who they do not forgive will not be forgiven. This overlooked moment is one of the most important in history and is apparent when we look at how the world was about to be changed by the power of Christ's forgiveness through them: Multitudes came to experience the love & power of God through their ministries. But what did it mean exactly for them to forgive the sins of others? And what does it mean for us today? The answer to this question will take us on a journey from the Fall of the Garden and its devastating effect of sickness, to discovering how & why the disciples could heal the sick.

Our enemy wants to wound us in heart, mind, soul, or strength - to wound our ability to love God and neighbor. We can love Him with our minds, but not our hearts. Or with our hearts, but not our minds. But we can be healed of our wounds and set free from the fear of love.

Remember Minesweeper? In navigating the minefield of our thoughts, we keep stepping on the mines of the enemy. But what if you understood how this game actually worked? It is time to take back your mind, get back your life and overcome overwhelming fear. But it begins with understanding Satan's process of influencing your mind, and how Jesus resisted the devil.

It can sometimes feel absolutely impossible to love enemies, and it is impossible with man. But with God? Possible. We must allow Him to flow through us, despite our flesh wanting our own way.

We've all heard of unfortunate events - church leaders fall into sin, even leading to the downfall of a church. But God wants to restore servant leadership, and structures of accountability among God's people. I would like to call all to pray for laborers in this area.

Episode Notes It’s becoming more common to share truth in hate. If we say we love the truth, we must have love for our brother/sister. If we say it’s love to share that truth, we must do so by fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Yeshua's treatment of others was controversial in light of the hate-driven culture He was in. Others could not understand how He could be around someone who was in sin, who held opposing theology, or who were arch-enemies of His people. The rescue of sinners & Samaritans was more important to Him than His reputation in the eyes of religious people. We are honored to have Daniel Botkin (Gates of Eden) to discuss with PD this timely matter in the Body of Messiah, so we may better understand how Yeshua expects us to fulfill one of the greatest commandments.

More than anything, the tongue exposes the inward parts of our heart, the kingdom we serve, and sin. James asks: "Who can tame it?" But through the power of the Holy Spirit changing our nature, the tongue will follow. James also warns that the tongues of those with influence will be judged more strictly. The compromise of the Gospel, ticking of ears, and building of own kingdoms among men is of selfish ambition & bitter jealousy - the two symptoms of the corrupted tongue.

Join PD w/ Pastor Chris Franke as they discuss the importance of the Body of Messiah's return to embracing the diversity of God's gifts, offices and roles. Too often, this is what has been witnessed: To the deliverance minister - everything is a demon. To the healing minister - every disease must go instantly. To the teacher - every issue would be resolved by good scholarship. Some have thought: "if only we had more teaching on this, we could solve every problem" or "if only prophecy can go forth" "if only speaking in tongues was more accepted" "if only everyone did more evangelism" or "if… if… if…" If we can all come together, learn from one another in honor, and give each other room to practice their gifts, perhaps then we can see: Eph 4:13 "Until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." Instead of callings being that which divide, rather, let them bring us together. Instead of maturity in one gift, the Body can mature into the stature of Christ. Recognizing that it's not just about us, nor what God called us to. It's about His greater purposes working together in all His people.

Many have picked a side when it comes to James vs. Paul, and the relationship of faith & works. We have built denominations on this very idea. It can seem as if their words stand in opposition, but what if both authors are saying the same thing, from different perspectives? Understanding these perspectives of Paul & James is essential to having a balanced understanding of the role of faith & works in our lives. And is the key to understanding the gospel itself. Many depend on their works for salvation, and many have abandoned good works entirely. But let us understand our faith to glorify the salvation of Yeshua.

In our desire to run away from everything that was evil, we ran away from that which was good. In our desire to honor God by keeping His commandments, we proclaimed the first part of the book at the cost of the second.

The Bible proves the bible: Watch how Old Testament prophecies (written thousands of years before), are fulfilled in the New Testament. The odds of all of these being fulfilled as a mere coincidence is statistically impossible and serves as evidence of the one true God and the Savior He sent.

Deliverance has become a very polarizing topic, and sometimes for good reason. The fear of demons exists in some circles, and has caused some to feel the need to reply on complicated deliverance prayers without a biblical source. It's time to talk about the fear of demonic backlash and unbiblical deliverance prayers.

Many believers have symptoms that the church urgently needs to address. We cannot hope that these problems will solve themselves. We all must work together to be there for one another, placing our desires and opinions before God, crucifying our flesh, doing our best to enter the unity of the faith. Here are 6 serious problems we all need to consider today.

When thinking of praying for the healing of someone else, the most common question is: “What if they don’t get healed?” It is a fear that has taken many hearts captive. But what if it’s the wrong question to ask? God is raising a generation who walks in hope instead of fear.

Watch this discussion from the recent Rise Up Conference where PD & Pastor Tom Campbell of The Vineyard Fellowship have an in-depth stage discussion on casting out demons, different demonic strongholds, our authority as believers, debunking fear of demons, and more - followed by an audience Q&A.

The Bible’s warnings were right all along: Unforgiveness has great consequence. Dementia is on the rise. But other than eating right & exercising, studies are now linking unforgiveness of 10 years or less to this disease. But there is something you can do.

The Prophet Elijah became a prophetic picture of how God was going to pour out His Spirit upon His people, and what would be required of them. This prophecy reveals the importance of believers understanding their role as vessels of the Holy Spirit.

Witchcraft in plain sight? A scientific experiment was conducted where people were given hallucinogenic drugs and encouraged to engage with demons. Join me as I explore why drugs cause demonic oppression and consider the results of the study from a Biblical perspective. Studies like these are undiscerning, placing the participants in great spiritual harm.

Guys, it’s time to talk about Spiritual Gift Abuses. Recently I had the honor of interviewing Eric Aspeitia from God’s Learning Channel about this important topic and hear his own story. Years ago, at a conference, Eric was placed in a room and told he could not leave until he spoke in tongues, to ensure he is saved. This abuse of spiritual gifts left him confused about his faith and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. His testimony is shared by many who have had similar experiences, and it's time to talk about it. Clear abuses in the church have caused many to become wary of Spiritual Gifts of the Holy Spirit - and this is understandable. But what does the Bible teach regarding these things? God desires to heal us from these traumas from our past, but what does this look like?

All of us can fall into a cycle of endless pursuits for satisfaction - in things, in people, in hobbies, and in toxic addictions. Our flesh looks for fulfillment externally, but Yeshua said the kingdom of God is within you. But what does this mean? Understanding the root of your addiction provides the key to freedom. Join PD as he explores the flesh & Spirit in this teaching!
