Do you want the devil to flee? This promise that he will flee isn’t automatic; it is conditional on our submission and resistance. In today’s podcast, we are going to highlight one of the scriptures that the devil, our enemy, hates.  These are more than nice words; these are weapons of warfare against him and his minions.

Without faith it is impossible to please God. We all know this verse out of Hebrews 11, but what is faith? Is faith a feeling that motivates us to live a certain way? Or does faith come from hearing and hearing through the Word of God? Or is faith a gift given to us by God? What if the answer to each of these questions is YES! In this weeks podcast I want to explore the topic of faith as an attempt to help each of us become more confident in the faith that we have.

Have you seen those leadership pyramids where the leader is at the top and all of the followers or employees are beneath the leader? That is the way much, if not all of corporate America is designed. It is also the way much of the Church is operated. It is also the way many marriages are run. What if that pyramid is not the way Jesus would run things? What if Jesus would turn that pyramid totally upside down? In this podcast I want to look at Jesus Style of leadership and the impact it can have on our lives.

Would you fight two warriors at the same time? Would you go into a pit during a snow storm and fight a lion? Would you take a huge warriors spear and fight him with his own spear? I would have to answer NO to all of those questions. Yet one of my favorite people in the bible did just that. In this podcast we are going to look at the bravery of Benaiah and hopefully inspire each of us with his story.

I’m sure you have heard the phrase in church about having Wholehearted Devotion to Jesus. I heard it again this week at church and I found myself agreeing with it, yet not being sure what it means and how to do that. Our hearts are so divided between our family and friends, our hobbies and our desires. Then you throw in verses like Psalms 86:11 that says to “Unite my heart to fear Your name.” How can we say with all integrity that we are wholeheartedly devoted to Jesus with so many things tugging on our affections? I believe that RTF can help you answer that question. That is the topic of this weeks podcast.

People all around the world know the emergency phone number for their country. It is 911 for those of us in North America, I believe it is 999 in the UK, and 112 in Europe. We know that you only dial those numbers when you need emergency services like an ambulance, or the police, or the fire department. Unfortunately many people have a 911 relationship with Jesus. They only call on Him when they are in an emergency. Yes, Jesus will be there for you when you are in a crisis, but He is much more than a 911 Jesus.

A sinkhole does not start out as a huge hole in the ground. It starts with a bit of erosion of the foundation underneath that over time, causes the surface to finally sink. Our faith can also be eroded, not usually by the big issue of life, but by having our foundation erode over time. In this podcast, we will talk about the erosion that can happen and how to Restore your Foundation so a sinkhole does not occur in your life.    To learn more about the ministry of Restoring the Foundations International, please visit www.restoringthefoundations.org.

Have you ever thought about firing your parents? I remember a season in my life when I realized that I might never get my father’s approval, and I emotionally fired him. Oh, I still lived under his roof until I got married, but I quit looking to him for approval. In other words, I began to live my life as an Orphan. In this podcast, and in the next podcast, we are going to look at a very common stronghold that is probably affecting your life in some way, and you might be so used to it, you don’t recognize it’s power over your life.

There are two conditions that are a bit hard to define because they are invisible boundary lines, yet they often have a very strong effect on your life. Those two conditions that may be interacting are soul ties and being able to establish healthy boundaries. Both of these are hard to define because you can’t point to a specific behavior to verify them. They both have to do with our heart attitudes, and they are both important because they can hinder our free will. In this podcast, we are going to look at how unhealthy soul ties might be reinforcing unhealthy boundaries. If you are not sure what I am talking about, I understand. Come along with me, and we will attempt to show how these two interact and may be causing you to struggle, and you might not even be aware.

Is it OK to disagree with the dictionary? Well I am going to when it comes to the word peace. According to Dictionary.com, peace means - the non warring condition of a nation or group, a state of mutual harmony between people groups, a state of tranquility or serenity, or the cessation of or freedom from any strife or dissension. It is wonderful when those things happen, but can you experience peace even when life is a mess? In this podcast, I want to look at peace from a biblical point of view and as usual, I have to mix some RTF in with it.  To learn more about the ministry of Restoring the Foundations International, please visit www.restoringthefoundations.org.

Wouldn’t it be great if everything in our lives moved forward in an orderly fashion? I would love it if most of the events in life came in a steady, systematic, predictable, and orderly fashion. You could then move from one event to the next event in a seamless manner without any interruptions or disruptions. You do know what that line of thinking is called? It is called a fairytale. If you have listened to the last two podcasts, you will notice that Cindi and I are trying to help by preparing each of us for the unexpected. In this podcast, we are going to encourage you the best we can to enjoy all of the twists and turns of life by walking in the Spirit of Christ. It will be awesome!
