After the flood, Noah released two birds upon the Earth: An unclean raven, and a clean dove. The acts of these birds would become a prophetic sign of how the world will one day be redeemed. It concludes with a dove landing on The Olive Tree (Christ) and foretelling the event of Shavuot. But this journey is not without ravens, and when we face our wilderness, it is imperative that we learn exactly how to overcome the temptations of the Satan.

It has become evident that not only the world - but believers - are lacking a fear of God. We have been taught to 'respect' and 'revere' God, but fearing God is more than this, according to Jesus. In this teaching, we will discover the only fear the Bible calls us to. Support Rise on Fire Ministries by contributing to their tip jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/rise-on-fireRead transcript
When we face trials and tribulations, we may seek answers from God - but is it evil to seek for a sign? And are there dangers when we grow desperate for signs from Heaven?Read transcript
Everything a believer believes, hinges on whether the Bible can be trusted. Has it been corrupted? Was the Book of Enoch removed from the Bible? Why do the Catholics have a different canon? Did the 'lying scribes' corrupt our Bibles? Travel with PD through history and uncover the evidence! TABLE OF CONTENTS • What do we do with the Apocrypha, such as Enoch or Jubilees? • Were the Apocrypha originally in the Bible, and later removed? • Did "the lying scribes" tamper with the Bible? • Did the Catholic Church decide on the books of the Bible? • What about different canons that exist among different denominations? • Where does losing trust in the Biblical text lead people? • Above all, we will see what Jesus has to say about the books contained in the Bible.

Where does the Bible come from? Is it accurate? Did it get translated over and over again, being untrustworthy? Is the Bible simply man's perspective on what God is like?

For too long, humanity has seen life's decisions as simply man's ways vs. God's ways, being ignorant of the involvement of a snake. A spiritual war of gaslighting humanity into questioning what God has declared. At the root of it all? Our pride, dependence on self, and greed - which leads to our deception. But God is calling prodigal sons home - for them to realize how much they are dependent upon Him. But that return begins with revelation of our own depravity and need for God to give us true life. It's time to give the snake the cold shoulder, and return to our Father as humble children.

Jesus famously healed lepers, but on one occasion something strange happened. He sternly told a leper to go straight to the priest. But the leper didn't listen to Jesus, and by this we learn an important prophetic warning about how this sin affects believers today. Who does the leper represent? Why did Jesus tell him to follow Leviticus? And why did he not listen?

Some believe the idea that God still speaks to people today threatens the Reformed idea of "Sola Scriptura" (Scripture alone).

There is a leaven in the body of Christ that has become as a spreading cancer. A sin now so normalized that many do not realize its seriousness, nor when they themselves commit it. The courts of this world have at times become better at advocating for the principles of justice than the church. And if we are those who 'know the law', how much more should we be advocates of justice? At times, we have become the makers of injustice, and murderers by the mouth. And in this time, God is calling all to an account - to cleanse this leaven that leads to death.

Episode Notes Recently, I released a video "Christianity doesn't know what to do with the Torah Movement", wherein I addressed a tension between believers. But some said I also addressed an issue that does not even exist! Today, we will look at whether there is a false gospel among some in the 'Torah Movement', and if so, why it is imperative to address it as the Body of Christ.
Episode Notes The Passover story is about God delivering Israel from the slavery of Egypt. But some aspects of this incredible story are often missed, because we don't consider God's actions from the perspective of the Egyptian cultural context. God says that one of the purposes of the Passover, is to "bring judgment on the gods of the Egyptians". So what did the Egyptians believe about their gods? And in a strange twist, could the plagues of Passover, actually be an act of God's mercy on Egypt?

The Gift of Healing is one of the most misunderstood spiritual gifts. Many have unbiblical assumptions regarding the function of the gift in real life, as it was in the ministry of Jesus.

There is a tension between believers: While some of us earnestly desire to keep God's law, we still struggle with guilt, shame, burden, and the Holy Spirit. While others desire to walk in His Holy Spirit, they struggle to reconcile their lives with a law-keeping Jesus.

One of the greatest misunderstandings of the Old Testament, is that the Levitical Offerings provided forgiveness of sin, until Christ came.

We are excited to announce a NEW SERIES: Restoring the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. This is a practical guide to the Spiritual Gifts, for the Spirit-filled believer. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit is one of the most neglected aspects of what God has called us to earnestly desire. This is because of a lack of discipleship, fear, and histories of abuse. But today, Yeshua is calling His people to return to Spirit & Truth worship. The question is, do you believe in the power of the Holy Spirit, and what He has called you to?

Fear is a silent enemy that hides under our feelings, waiting for opportunity to strike. Fear is so ingrained in our behavior that we now consider it normal. But Jesus said He has not given us a spirit of fear, and commands us to not worry about tomorrow. How can we not worry, if we still have a worrisome trial? Jesus uncoupled fear from his trials, and refused to allow fear to influence His decisions. In this video, PD and Christina discusses how to walk free from the spirit of fear. Whether you're facing overwhelming thoughts or small worries, this message will guide you toward freedom and a renewed mind. It is time to take your first step toward deliverance!

We are all reacting to something, and we should. When something is incorrect, out of order, or even evil, we must do what is proper to correct it. But humanity has a tendency to over-correct and over-react, especially when we are fueled by hurt, offense, or when we lean on ourselves for understanding on what is "right." We see the consequences of this in all denominations. But the solution is clear, if we are willing to take a more honest look at our Messiah.

As Moses stands before Israel, they all look to him to solve their problems. This expectation to place all weight upon a leader is what Jethro calls "not good", beckoning back to the Garden of Eden. Today, we are still making the same mistake, weighing down certain members of the Body of Christ with enormous responsibility without realizing it. But it robs us, because it is also our blessing to give and serve, and God wants to use us in ministry like never before - to lift the burdens.

As believers in Yeshua, we long for our Messiah's return. But in the midst of our desire for this, some of us have run after everything and anything thrown our way proclaiming to be a sign of His coming. So much so that entire ministries have been built solely upon searching for “the next new thing.” How can we as the Body of Christ find clarity amidst the chaos? Looking for the signs of the times is a good thing, but have we made it an addiction?
