Rise on Fire Ministries

Did you know that before the foundation of the Earth was laid, God gifted you a birthright? Discovering and living in that birthright fulfills your life calling and makes you a builder of God's Kingdom. But the enemy is desperately trying to convince you to surrender your inheritance for the things of the world. God will accomplish all His plans, but the question is, will you choose this day to play a part in it, or watch Him use others instead? Torah Portion: Toldot | Family history | תּוֹלְדוֹת

Every culture for the last two thousand years has attempted to tell the story of Jesus in a way that is familiar to their own ethnic groups, creating depictions of Jesus that would be relatable and accessible. But while on the surface this seems quite innocent, can there be a hidden danger and slippery slope to creating a Jesus fashioned in our image, cultures, traditions, worldviews, and likeness? Who is the Jesus of Scripture, and how are we to represent Him to the world?

God commands His people to "not muzzle an ox while it's treading out the grain." But is it with animals that God is concerned? Surely, but He says this even for our sake. Let's learn what this commandment really teaches in how we ought to treat our neighbor's labors.

We need a DEEPER understanding of God's COMPASSION! I'm excited to share with you live tonight about one of the most incredible encounters I've ever had. While talking with a few unbelieving teenagers about God in a mall, they questioned His existence. But what God does next would leave them speechless! I'll then explain WHY I believe it happened as miraculously as it did, and HOW you can start seeing God touch people through you by the Holy Spirit.

Every great kingdom, every king and queen, and every modern superpower - will all one day fall. What has been, will be again. Yet many of us place our trust in these powers of the world. But there is One Kingdom that has risen that will never fall, but the question is: What Kingdom do you serve? And in which King do you place your trust?

In a culture where we “test out” many people in the hope of finding “The One”, what if the Bible provides a way that is so much easier, avoids heartbreak, and glorifies the power of God? What if true freedom in seeking a spouse is when we entrust that choice to God? The One who can best write the stories of our lives is the One who created us - God is still speaking, but will we listen?

Hundreds of years ago, Martin Luther nailed a thesis to the door of a church that marked the beginning of a worldwide church reformation. But what if God has been ushering in a new truth reformation? For all His people to be freed from traditions of men, in order to worship Him in Truth and holiness? A return to the pure walk of Christ! Join PD and Christina in this exciting conversation with the couple behind The Way Documentary - Luke & Kayte Abaffy

Being a Christian in our modern culture has been boiled down to coming to filling a pew on Sunday and then going home - with very little expectation to participate in the new Life Christ has for us. But the faith of the early church looked radically different, because instead of creating people who are simply dependent and uninvolved, they created disciples who were trained to go out, spread the Gospel, and be empowered by spiritual gifts to bring destruction upon the enemy's kingdom. This is what God is calling us back to: A body of believers who desire to walk like Yeshua walked in humility, power, and love, and who go out and bring God's Kingdom to earth as it is in heaven by impacting one person at a time - to make disciples, not dependents.

Episode Notes Sukkot Revival: That's what this Feast of Tabernacles felt like. I had the honor of ministering at 3 feast events two weeks ago, and I have not witnessed such hunger for His Holy Spirit in this movement before. I would like to share some of the testimonies, the state of the Body of Believers, and I have a message to share for spiritual leaders. I'm still blown away by everything that happened, glory to God! The Holy Spirit requires a hunger in His people - and HE SATISFIES!🔥 Christina and I were honored to meet with and minister to many who chose to surrender their lives to Yeshua and get baptized, and many who were met with incredible physical healing and deliverance from issues of the heart. It was incredible to see God's people come forward in UNITY to receive prayer and pray over their brothers and sisters in love and power, operating in their Spiritual gifts. Some of whom had never experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit before. People of God, it's time to RISE UP! May we become the Tabernacles of the Holy Spirit and God's Presence we were always called to be in Yeshua.

Halloween is almost here, and many believers have no problem celebrating a day that glorifies darkness. Many have called what is evil, good. But we would be deceived to think that's where it all stops. The enemy's next trap is to confuse believers into calling what is good, evil. And many believers end up coming against the Kingdom of God itself without even realizing it.

Episode Notes Many of us have heard that the reason for God forbidding His people to mix wool & linen in their clothing is because this fabric mix is reserved for the priesthood. But where does this idea truly come from? What if a corruption of man influenced not only priestly attire, but the make-up of tzitzits itself well into the first-century.

Episode Notes It's the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem, Yeshua stands up by the tabernacle and cries out with a loud voice, "Whoever is thirsty, come to Me and drink!" Declaring that a New Temple had arrived in Jerusalem. At a well, He tells a Samaritan Woman: "Drink of me, and you'll never go thirsty again", and that He is bringing about a revolution of His Father's Tabernacle itself, changing the way God is about to dwell with His people forevermore, enabling them to worship in Spirit & Truth - but will you believe this promise? Do you understand where the True Tabernacle is? Grasping it will change the way you see life forever. 🔥 Make a donation to sustain this ministry: https://www.riseonfire.com/partner/

Episode Notes The Bible commands to not plow oxen & donkeys together (Deut 22:10), but what do these have to do with us? Could this strange law actually be God giving the most important romantic relationship advice ever?

Episode Notes In 2020, the Lord impressed a word in my heart for His people - but the message was reserved for today. Now I am sharing what the Lord told me in 2020 about the mystery of His provision. Many of us are still living as slaves in Egypt, trusting the Pharoahs of this world to provide our needs. But will we trust in YHVH, who calls us to prepare spiritually above all. In whom will we trust?

Episode Notes On the Day of Atonement, we often state: "May you be inscribed in the Book of Life." But the scriptures also speak of other books that will be opened: Books that contain a record of everything we've ever done or said. Today, we have to be reminded of the reality that those books will one day be opened and used to judge us by, and as we speak, our works are being inscribed. God calls us to be reminded of the Kingdom to come and to live for it! 🔥 Make a donation to sustain this ministry: https://www.riseonfire.com/partner/

Episode Notes What is Yom Kippur, and why is it important for believers? God calls us to do introspection on this day, and consider our own hearts for the lost, to not make the same mistake Jonah did. 🔥 Make a donation to sustain this ministry: https://www.riseonfire.com/partner/

Episode Notes As Christina grew up as a young teenager, she grew up in an organization that prioritized modesty and purity for women. While these are both important and Biblical concepts, the mindset of this organization took it to the extreme and impacted her perception of biblical modesty and womanhood. Throughout much of Christianity, could it be that we are causing the very things we hope to avoid? Changing the perception of women into sexual objects to satisfy an unbiblical patriarchy, where men are freed from all responsibility. But what does Scripture say about this? 🔥 Make a donation to sustain this ministry: https://www.riseonfire.com/partner/

Episode Notes Is Spiritual Fast Food killing us? We can all agree that shallow sermons and motivational speeches have become a theological junk food many in mainstream Christianity live on, yet is there another kind of spiritual junk food that is starving even those of us who have left the mainstream church behind?

Episode Notes A few special announcements to our podcast listeners

Episode Notes If the trumpets blew today, what would run through your mind? For some, the sound of trumpets would be the sound of excitement itself, for it proclaims the return of their King. For others, the sound of trumpets is a gloomy sound that instills great fear. The sound of realizing: "I never had time to repent." It is time for us to face the only question that will ever really matter: Will the King know me? And what would He have to say about me? PARTNER WITH RISE ON FIRE: https://www.riseonfire.com/partner

Episode Notes The Bible is often criticized for having strange laws, such as commanding a man who wishes to marry a war captive to shave her head and have her mourn for a month. But is this a senseless law, or one of hidden blessing for the captive woman?

Episode Notes A popular claim made by those who believe spiritual gifts of prophecy, healing and tongues have ceased today is that Charismatics base their theology entirely off emotionalism and experiences, instead of Scripture. But could it be that Cessationists are guilty of the very thing they accuse Charismatics of? Is there any basis for Cessationist theology, and if so, what is it built upon?

Episode Notes We are excited to be in Wyoming, Oklahoma and Texas in the next 2 months! Come and join us at one of our events, and please pray for us.

Episode Notes Today I am excited to be joined live by Pastor John Diffenderfer! God is raising a generation on fire for God, called with a powerful calling to change the world. But it means placing our Kingdom Calling above all else, while putting off the distractions of the world. Many are called, but will you heed the call? How do we find our Kingdom Calling? How do we navigate the dangers of unbelief, lack of self-confidence, or pride in relation to calling?

Strangely, the Bible commands to not mix seeds in a vineyard, or unnaturally breed different kinds of animals. But what is this all about? And could it have something to do with the reason for Noah's flood, the giants of the Bible, and Israel's journey through the wilderness?

Episode Notes A new pandemic has arrived that distracts us to look upon others, while missing what's happening in our own hearts.

Episode Notes There's a lie in the church that says blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the simple rejection of Christ as Messiah. But why does Yeshua contrast the blasphemy against the Son as forgivable, while blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not? An unforgivable sin sounds like a scary idea, and for some even out of character of the Messiah Himself, but what did Yeshua really teach?

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.

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. Above you can watch the sneak peek to get you excited, and next week the full episode launches. I am excited to share this with you, and I believe this will equip you with apologetics and understanding for what the Bible teaches regarding spiritual gifts in modern times. 🔥 Make a donation to sustain this ministry: https://www.riseonfire.com/partner/ Many Christians believe the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit has ceased with the 12 Apostles, but have they?

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 light of our own lives.

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 heaven.

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.

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 great power in the world? And what if part of our modern deficit has been due to a dividing away of the Torah & Prophets?

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 question. But I believe a careful study of scripture makes this clear and simple to understand - the question is, will we believe the bold claims the Scriptures make for us regarding the Holy Spirit?

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 still possible for us to fall into the same temptation as Miriam, and in this story, God shows us how to avoid it. Torah Portion: Chukat / Statute / חֻקַּת

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 in order for you to succeed, you must be planted in good soil and bear good fruit. Join me as we uncover revelation upon revelation of the Garden we are to become! Torah Portion: Korach | Korah | קוֹרַח

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 He required the life of the offender? Instead, for many of these offending pastors, a temporary leave with a "sorry about that" is enough to satisfy the discourse, only to have him back next year. If me, being a believer can say this, what may the world (being at enmity with God) say? If we don't speak out and judge the immoral in our midst we call "brother", then the world will. And they will rightfully accuse us of hypocrisy and misrepresentation of what we say we believe. Worst of all, perhaps, many of them will attribute our hypocrisy to our Messiah. And our hands will be full of blood. The rise of Progressive Christianity and a great falling away isn't the fault of the liberals or the immoral in the world. No. It is the fault of the compromising church, who in her hypocrisy have allowed immorality to flourish within. And when it flourishes within, will the world not only take what they have learned one step further?

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 knew about the Holy Spirit and its gifts, especially the gift of healing."
