We often think of "holy ground" as a rare, sacred location—somewhere special, set apart, drenched in reverence. But what if holy ground isn't about the place itself… what if it's about Presence?When Moses encountered the burning bush, God told him, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground” (Exodus 3:5). But here's the catch: it wasn't a temple. It wasn't a tabernacle. It was the middle of the desert—ordinary dirt transformed by the presence of God.

Spiritual warfare is not first and foremost a cosmic boxing match between two nearly equal forces. It is the ongoing struggle to align our hearts, minds, and lives with the truth of who God is—perfectly revealed in Jesus—and who we are in Him. It is not a war for victory, but from the victory already secured in Christ.

The Lord has prepared a place for you. As soon as we accept where the place is and the way to get to that place, we will have joy and fulfillment to a degree that we never have before. Unfortunately, religion has painted these passages of Scripture to be treated as a future event for all saints. These words from the mouth of Jesus were never meant to be placed into the future, but they are meant to be enjoyed now!  www.dominionchurch.net --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-hester/support

Jesus was expressing the truth (Luke 7:47), those who know and believe how much God truly loves them and has forgiven them, they will end up loving Him very much! Those who have little understanding of His love and forgiveness will love little. This is why it is imperative as new covenant believers that we focus on how much God loves us instead of how much we love God. If you truly receive and believe how much God loves you and has forgiven you of all your sins, you will end up loving God greatly - he who is forgiven much, loves much! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-hester/support

Jesus is the perfect reflection of God. If we desire to see the glorious brightness of God, we need look nowhere else than Jesus. The writer of Hebrews declares, “The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” (Heb. 1:3). The Old Covenant offers a cloudy view of Who God is, but Jesus dispels any and all doubts in His Person. In Jesus, we find out that God is better than we ever thought.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-hester/support

Romans 5:6-8- You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (NIV) God's affection sent an intervening storm for Jonah - and it's this same affection that sent an intervening Savior. God's interventions come for us all…and we find ourselves in one of two groups in need of rescue. We are either in the group of the immoral, or the moral. The immoral person will try to save himself through lawless living while the moral person will try to save himself through legalistic living. Neither approach can save anyone.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-hester/support

Romans 11:6-And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. In grace, there is no room for man's work, pure and simple. Don't misunderstand, grace will allow you to accomplish amazing works in the Kingdom, but your work will never produce or add to the gift that is grace. In other words, grace is working in you, but you can't work for it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-hester/support

The triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem is pivotal. It's the time for Jesus to demonstrate his identity as the long-awaited Messiah, the Son of God. The tension is palpable as he approaches a critical decision point. Will he head towards the Antonio Fortress, the stronghold of Roman authority in Jerusalem, where the largest contingent of soldiers is stationed, and where the potential for the crowd to erupt into a volatile mob is high? However, Jesus surprises everyone. Instead of veering towards the fortress, he takes a different path, turning left through the eastern gate and into the Temple. His actions are deliberate and calculated. Upon entering, he surveys the surroundings, taking it all in. According to Mark's gospel, he then leaves but returns the next day, engaging in what can only be described as prophetic theater, echoing the spirit of Jeremiah. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-hester/support

It's time to take a deep dive into the Gospel of God in this new series by Evangelist Dan Warner. How often have we offered something that has a measure of success, but isn't actually correct?

In light of the eternal nature of Christ, in light of Christ's ontological union (the singular existences of two persons who are absorbed in a new form of being when they love one another.) with humanity (i.e. the truth of our being), separation has always been a delusion (even after the first stumble in Eden). But living in the delusion of separation has always created a very real existential experience of alienation in the way of our being. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-hester/support

We truly exist only within the context of relationship. Typically, people who are toxic, psychopathic or sociopathic are always those who cannot maintain or sustain relationships. They run from them. These people are usually loners or make all relating with them very difficult. The origin of most mental illness is loneliness. One of the greatest causes of grief for humanity (or disease) is disconnection. When we separate ourselves from others, we become sick and toxic…even ungodly. There is more to relational connectedness than we understand and this is why God elevates relationship to such a high level. Perichoresis is the divine dance of the Godhead that is fully balanced and completely vulnerable intimate relationship.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-hester/support

Your life is glory unto God and a force of transformative love and compassion to everyone around you…yourself included.  Colossians 3:1-4 - If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

The Second Coming of Christ that history is waiting for is not the same as the baby Jesus or even the historical Jesus. The historical Jesus was one man, and Christ is not his last name. The Christ includes the whole sweep of creation and history joined with him—and you too. We call this the Cosmic Christ. We ourselves are a member of the Body of Christ and the Cosmic Christ, even though we are not the historical Jesus. So we very rightly believe in "Jesus Christ," and both words are essential. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-hester/support

As is true of Rorschach tests, the way God appears to people says at least as much about them as it does about God. Insofar as God's noncoercive Spirit can break through the hearts and minds of people- insofar as these hearts are inclined in the direction of faithfulness, blamelessness, and purity- God can reveal himself as He truly is. But insofar as people have twisted hearts and minds that suppress God's Spirit, they inevitably understand and experience God in ways that reflect their own twisted hearts and minds. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-hester/support

What people see and hear is strongly conditioned by what they expect to see and hear. Along the same lines, people are only able to receive the truth about God to the degree that their innermost hearts are aligned with His character. The good news is that John proclaims that when Christ appears, "we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is," which is why "all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure" (1 John 3:2, emphasis added). While all who are in Christ have had the veil over our minds "taken away" and can therefore "contemplate the Lord's glory" (2 Cor 3:14, 18), we still "see only a reflection as in a mirror" (1 Cor 13:12). But when the process of our transformation into Christlikeness is completed, we will finally have the capacity to grasp Christ in all His beauty. And it is only because "we shall be like him," that we will finally be able to '"see him as he is." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-hester/support

Joseph is a prophetic forerunner who would later point us to Jesus the Messiah.

Women can easily read Proverbs 31 and instead of being encouraged are tempted to come away discouraged. They're thinking, “I can never be that.” Or single guys might read this passage and think, “I want to find a wife who's perfect like that.” Married men could read this passage and think, “I wish my wife was perfect like that.” All of these thoughts are obviously unhealthy responses to this picture of womanhood. But this is where I want us to realize we have an ideal, perfect picture of this woman for a reason. The point of Proverbs is to point us to Jesus and the wisdom that can only be found in Him. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-hester/support
