Preaching on Moses and the burning bush, Rev. Jones Brown explores what it means to turn aside and notice the sacred breaking into an ordinary day, and how God calls people with no standing to carry extraordinary purpose. As the church moves through the season after Pentecost, this sermon invites us to ask where holy ground might be waiting, right where we are.

Holy Ground

If we are willing to truly reverence God and allow Him to occupy the place that He desires to have in our lives, He has promised to honor us with a blessing of happiness and fruitfulness that only He can give. Today, Charles Tapp shares the last part in his series "On Holy Ground" with his message "Worthless Reverence."

What do basketball and reverence for God have to do with each other? This week, Charles Tapp takes an honest look at the church and asks the believer if you're trying to take the easy way out, or are you aware of where you are right now? He continues with part 3 of this series "On Holy Ground" with his message "Goodbye Glory."

The sermon explores the biblical account of Moses encountering God in the burning bush, emphasizing that every place where one seeks the Lord becomes holy ground. It highlights Moses' forty years of patience in the wilderness as preparation for his divine calling and deliverance of Israel from Egypt. The speaker connects this Old Testament narrative to the New Testament context of Stephen's speech, warning against the human tendency to resist the Holy Spirit and reject God's prophets. Central themes include the necessity of humility, reverence, and submission when approaching God's presence through Jesus Christ. The message concludes with an urgent call for believers to engage in daily prayer and Scripture reading as essential spiritual sustenance.

What do you do when life shatters every dream you ever held? This week on the Healing Rain Podcast, I have the privilege of sitting down with Holly Jordan Trevillian, author of the deeply moving memoir, This High Mountain: A Story of Grief, Grace, and the God Who Never Let Go. For thirty years, Holly carried a story that was almost too painful to tell. After losing her three precious children—Jamie, Hillary, and Hannah—to the rare genetic disease Metachromatic Leukodystrophy, she found herself walking through a valley of unimaginable grief. Yet even in the darkest moments, God never stopped pursuing her. In this heartfelt conversation, Holly shares how faith is not the absence of questions but the courage to keep trusting God when the answers don't come. Her story reminds us that even on life's highest mountains of suffering, God's presence remains faithful. Together we discuss:
✨ How to keep trusting God after devastating loss
✨ Finding grace in the middle of grief
✨ Why God never lets go—even when we feel like letting go
✨ The surprising ways God restores hope and rebuilds broken dreams
✨ Discovering that our deepest pain can become a testimony of God's faithfulness

Today's message is not for those who are OK with a shallow relationship with God. It will make sense only to those who want to know Him more deeply. In Today's Daily Word & Prayer, we are going onto Holy Ground to discover why God would wound one of His precious children. Roz walked this path as have many true saints throughout history. It's a path I believe God has called me to walk now, and maybe He's asking you to as well.Scripture used in today's messageHosea 6:1-3Hebrews 12:4-11

It seems there's a lack of reverence for...well, anything these days. And today, Charles Tapp shares what reverence is really about, and what it means to have reverence for God. As he shares the first part in his series "On Holy Ground" with his message "Holy Dirt."

Aldi Süd positioniert sich in seiner neuen Kampagne bewusst gegen den Bonusapp-Trend der großen deutschen Supermarktketten und wirbt stattdessen mit einem einheitlichen Vorteilspreis für alle Kundinnen und Kunden ohne App-Zwang und Datenabgabe. In mehreren TV-Spots zeigt Aldi Süd gezielt die Widersprüche und technischen Hürden, die Bonusapps im Einzelhandel für Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher mit sich bringen. Ich ordne ein, was diese Entscheidung strategisch bedeutet und warum sie so stark aus der eigenen DNA von Aldi Süd heraus funktioniert.Außerdem in den Marken- und Marketingnews der KW 30:

In this message, Richie Reeder walks through Jacob's encounter with God in Genesis 28, where a fugitive with a stone for a pillow discovers that heaven is far closer than he imagined. Richie shows how God meets us not after we get our lives together, but right in the wilderness of our fear, regret, and exhaustion—turning hard places into holy ground. He then challenges us to recognize the "Bethels" in our own lives, seeing our workplaces, relationships, and struggles as places where God is already present and at work.

Santosh Ninan brings the third instalment in our teaching series on Exodus: The Story Behind Jesus. The burning bush is a powerful moment of God stepping personally into Moses' story while also stepping into the larger story of an enslaved people. God meets Moses in his shame, fear, and hiding… but at the same time commissions him to become part of God's work of deliverance and redemption for others.

Stevie and Sazan Hendrix join Dr. Will Cole in their Nashville home for one of the warmest and most wide-ranging conversations the podcast has had. They share the story of dating in secret for three years because Sazan's Kurdish family had made one thing clear: marry within the culture. They talk about the wedding her parents didn't attend, the reconciliation that finally came, and how Stevie became the family favorite. Sazan shares her faith origin story — a simple prayer at 21, a dream that night, and a life that changed completely — and both reflect on why young people are flooding back to the church, what spiritual warfare actually looks like, and why being a stay-at-home mom is holy ground. They also cover Kurdish food as family medicine, raising kids with intentional screen limits, and Sazan's memorable experiences with stem cells and LA's stranger wellness trends.

We open up Exodus 3 and treat the burning bush as a pattern for how God gets our attention, shapes our hearts, and forms us into mature believers. We learn to recognise holy ground in everyday life, respond with reverence, let God rebuild our identity, and accept that real encounters often come with a sending assignment. • Holy ground begins with attention and turning aside from busyness • God's presence often interrupts before it instructs • Reverence as removing what separates us from God, not performing a ritual • Rejecting two extremes: God too distant to approach or God too casual to honour • God's holiness moving toward suffering, revealing compassion and justice •Ccalling and purpose growing from burden and endurance, not hype • Insecurity rising on holy ground as an invitation to a divine exchange • Identity anchored in “I AM” rather than self-validation • Every encounter carrying the possibility of assignment, asking what God does in us and through us

God often interrupts ordinary moments to accomplish extraordinary purposes. Most people want God to reveal the entire plan before they obey, but God usually gives the next step instead of the full picture. After forty years in the wilderness, Moses encounters God in a burning bush. What appeared to be an ordinary day becomes a life-changing encounter. God reveals His holiness, reminds Moses who He is, and calls him into something bigger than himself. Calling begins when God becomes bigger than your excuses. About the Series: Life is full of questions we wish God would answer. Why did the diagnosis come? Why did the relationship end? Why did the opportunity disappear? Why does the waiting continue when we've prayed for so long? Most of us want explanations, but throughout Scripture, God often offers something different. Instead of revealing the entire plan, He invites us to trust Him one step at a time. The life of Moses is a powerful example of that kind of faith. From being born into slavery and raised in a palace to leading God's people through impossible circumstances, Moses repeatedly found himself in situations that didn't make sense. Yet through every season of uncertainty, God was present, faithful, and at work in ways Moses couldn't fully see. In this series, we'll follow Moses' journey and discover what it means to trust God's character when we don't understand His timing, His methods, or His plans. Because faith isn't trusting God when He explains Himself. Faith is trusting God when He doesn't. Join us as we learn that the most important question isn't, "Do I understand what God is doing?" but "Will I trust Him anyway?"

Send us Fan MailOn the Sunday of All Saints of North America, Fr. Theophan reflects on the holy men and women who brought the light of Christ to this continent and demonstrated that sanctity is not confined to distant lands or ancient times. From the missionaries of Alaska to the faithful witnesses who labored throughout North America, the saints reveal that the Gospel can take root in every culture and every generation.Their lives remind us that holiness is possible here and now. The same grace that transformed the saints is offered to every Christian through life in the Church, prayer, repentance, and participation in the Holy Mysteries. As we honor the Saints of North America, we are called not merely to admire them, but to follow their example and pursue the life of Christ ourselves.Homily preached at St. Innocent Orthodox Church in Macon, GA.Website @ https://www.st-innocent.orgInstagram @ https://www.instagram.com/st.innocentchurch/Facebook @ https://fb.me/SaintInnocentMaconGeorgia Help Support St. Innocent Orthodox Church @ https://onrealm.org/siocmacon/-/form/give/now

In this episode, Guy welcomed returning guest White Eagle Medicine Woman Suraj Holzwarth to discuss the Crystal Skull Method (CSM), a hands-on energy modality described as a next-level, "quantum" evolution of cranial sacral therapy synthesizing ancient practices and working with 32 skull points and 32 body points. The method aims to activate the pineal, pituitary, thalamus, and hypothalamus for total health, longevity, and expanded consciousness, emphasizing intention, trauma integration, and ethical readiness as more "light" activates. Suraj explained the pineal gland's role in serotonin/melatonin, intuition, and spiritual connection, and describes CSM's use of dual-hand electromagnetic holding, breathwork to "decalcify" and expand "beams of light," grounding to regulate intensity, and practitioner finger/element techniques to balance heat and coolness. They also explored sacred geometry—especially the Sri Yantra and torus field—as a grid CSM builds around the skull and body. The episode included information about a nine-day CSM training in Port Macquarie, Australia (Nov 20–28, 2026) and directs listeners to whirlingrainbow.com.

Pastor Christian wraps up our Holy Ground series with a message from Numbers 27:12–23. As Moses comes to the end of his journey, we see the weight of a missed reward, the beauty of his surprising response, and God's provision through a new replacement. Through this passage, we're reminded that even when our own story takes an unexpected turn, God's faithfulness continues and His purposes move forward.We hope you were blessed by this message!

Our Spiritual Growth (1) (audio) David Eells – 6/3/26 Glory of a Child Peter - 03/04/2008 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I found myself sitting at the side of a road, on the curb, and it was gloomy and dark. There were two gray wolves or beast-like creatures with massive fangs that subtly approached me from behind. (The beasts or wolves represent wicked men: (Luk.10:3)... I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. (Ecc.3:18)... It is because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are but as beasts.) They tried attacking me, but I don't remember if I tried to fight them off. What I do remember is that I ran into a dull red mini caravan, which so happened to be on the road, for protection and safety. (The van may represent a means of mobility having protection and safety. The dull red color represents the blood of Jesus.) As I was shutting the passenger door, one of the beasts lunged at me, but I managed to slam the door on it. (Enclosed in the blood) As a large portion of its body was caught in between the closed door, it suddenly morphed into a naked man inside the van (I could only see the upper body). This man had streams of blood running down from all over his body. (The persecutors wear as their works the blood of the saints. Eze.22:4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made.) During the entire time, I was panicking and fearful for my life and trying to survive. (David: As I have meditated on this dream, I see that the first man above is the natural man who is in total fear of losing his old life at the hands of the wicked. His reactions are natural but not based on the Word. The man below is the spiritual man, who is 'Christ in you' and whose actions are based in the Spirit and faith in the blood of Jesus. Together these make up who we are. We can choose to be led by either man, but the latter preserves life and promotes the Kingdom of God in and around us, making us safe. A confirmation that these two men are Peter, is that they are both sitting upon the curb.) Then my attention was suddenly drawn outside the van to a child who was sitting on the curb. (Mar.10:15) Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.) He had a large volume of golden curly hair. (Golden hair represents submission to the Lord [1Co.11:3-16] which strengthens us and sets a crown of glory upon us. (Jdg.16:17)... if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man. The blessings of the Lord, riches, honor and life [Pro.22:4] are set upon His people as a crown of fine gold [Psa.21:3]. The child was sitting curled up in a ball (Representing humility and weakness; (2 Cor.12:9)...my power is made perfect in weakness.... (Jer.13:18)... Humble yourselves, sit down...), with his arms wrapped around his knees and with only his eyes to be seen. His eyes were emphasized, and I believe they were large and beautiful. (This represents spiritual eyes. (Son.4:1) Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyes are [as] doves behind thy veil... Doves represent seeing as the Holy Spirit does. We must see that we have been saved and sanctified. (2Pe.1:3) seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue). The lower part of his face (chin, mouth, nose) was tucked in behind his knees. (When attacked, we are not to defend ourselves by speaking foolishly. (Ecc.5:2) Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. (Isa.7:4)...Take heed, and be quiet; fear not.) He was innocent and harmless. He was clean. (He represents Christ in you, the spiritual man.) After I had finished observing, I noticed the same two beasts sneaking up behind him. At this point, there was no awareness of the man being in the van. (The spiritual man is not in danger and gives us a good example that we should not be in fear.) As I was still locked in the van for my own protection, I was filled with fear, yelling and screaming from the top of my lungs, trying to warn the child that he may run into the van. (Fear and anxiety, both a reflection of unbelief, only locked or bound me in the van. I was without any peace; I only had uncontrollable fear and anxiety. We must give in to the spiritual man and hold fast to the Gospel). I was hitting the window of the van to get his attention. He acknowledged me but didn't make the slightest movement, just sitting very still. (Exo.14:13)... Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you to-day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.) The beasts lunged at him, and there was still no movement on his part. The beasts were trying to bite him, but they couldn't get a grip. Their teeth were sliding off him. The beasts swung their claws at him, but there was no critical damage, only tiny scratches on the child, which were brought to my attention. (Innocence and submission to the Lord are his defense. (Pro.10:2)... righteousness delivereth from death.) Again, I was aware that I was still in the van, but I was also outside in the child's presence. The child still remained in the same sitting position as I had described and remained still for the entire time. He said nothing and didn't react in any way to defend himself. The beasts couldn't harm him. (Mat.5:39) ...resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.) Suddenly, I looked behind this scene, and I noticed in the distance a small white house on a green grassy mount. (The house the spiritual man lives in is Christ [Heb.3:6]. We are to abide in Him, the Word, the secret place of the Most High.) In front of this house, there was a woman in a white robe inviting me, or beckoning, to partake of something. (The Bride's invitation to partake of the protection of resting in the (Psa.91) Passover by abiding in Christ.) The dream ends. I had the impression, maybe during or after the dream, that this lady looked like my Godmother (I come from an Orthodox Christian religion). Peter's Interpretation The woman in the white garment/robe who resembled my Godmother may very well be reflected by: (Pro.6:20) My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother. The commandments of the Father, based on the New Testament, are life eternal (Joh.12:50), to believe in the name (meaning in Greek: “nature, authority, and character”) of Jesus Christ and love one another (1Jn.3:23). (Of course, the Word defines the steps of love.) I find that these commandments are united to be the same with one another. The law of the mother, based on the New Testament, is the law of faith (Rom.3:27), law of the Spirit of life (Rom.8:2), and the law of Christ (Gal.6:2). Like the commandments, these laws are the same with one another and can be united. Based on the order of events of the dream, I believe the child represents a manifestation and the fruit of the law of faith, of the Spirit, and of the commandments of the Father. All of these are certainly Christ. The child's characteristics and nature reveal the principles of living by faith and the Spirit of life in Christ, which are one with the commandments of the Father. If we submit to the Lord, remain humble, restrain our tongue, and see through our spiritual eyes or senses, we will be walking in Christ, fulfilling the spiritual laws (of faith and of the Spirit of life) and the commandments of the Father. All these spiritual laws are represented by the woman in the white robe who appeared to be my Godmother. She is associated with the white house on the grassy hill or mount. It may have seemed she was inviting me to partake of what was in the house, which is Christ. Just as that little child is associated with the woman, he must have been partaking from that house as well. If the woman represents all the spiritual laws and the commandments of the Father, she must also represent the spotless, blemishless Bride who is in perfect obedience to the laws and commandments of the Father. The Bride is the Word of God, who has manifested Jesus Christ. Her white robe must represent the righteous acts of the saints (Rev.19:8). The righteous acts are works of faith -- walking in the Spirit and not in the flesh. The child and the Bride are one nature because they manifest the wisdom of God, the Word of God; hence, Jesus Christ. Only as a 'child' can we enter the kingdom (Mar.10:15) and only those who walk in the Spirit. Those who are likened unto a child walk in the Spirit. One verse can describe this dream: (Exo.14:13) And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you to-day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. Whenever we are in tribulation or trial of any form, we should fear not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. Use our imagination, see it spiritually, believe what the Word says about you. Rest. He has already saved you. Humble yourself, and He shall never forsake you because He is your Father. A father never forsakes his child (Psa.18:2; 94:12-14). (Mat.7:11) If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Thank you, Father, for Your grace and love! I pray that this dream has helped you renew your mind and imagination of who we truly are in Christ. May God bless you all.   Fighting the Old Man Eric - 10/11/2006 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was in a classroom, and an old man was teaching the class. (We can't let the old man teach, which in Christianity is most often the case. The class includes ourselves and all who associate with us.) He said to the class, “I don't like that Eric guy. I'm going to challenge him to a wrestling match.” (If we let the old man speak through us, he will gain confidence and strength against us and he will bring us under the curse.) Then he got up and came over to my desk and, looking down on me, said a second time, “I challenge you to a wrestling match”. He was about 7 feet tall, so I followed him outside. (The giant of our old life will challenge us and lead us into battle.) I noticed that nobody in my class was interested in watching the fight. (Most onlookers don't even know the battle between the spirit and flesh is going on inside us.) When I got outside, everything seemed deserted like a ghost town so we walked over to a playground. (As far as man is concerned, we are all alone in this battle.) We began to fight, and he threw a wild right swing at me and missed. (The right side symbolizes spirit, and the arm symbolizes power. This is a fight of spiritual power; the evil spirits in our flesh against the power of the Holy Spirit within us, joining together with our spirit.) I swung back with an uppercut, but missed his jaw because of his height. Then he got me in a headlock but I broke free and grabbed him in a headlock, and he also broke free. (The flesh and spirit taking turns controlling the mind is a double-minded life.) Then we separated and began to circle each other like two wrestlers. We cried out as warriors would cry in a battle and smashed into each other as two sumo wrestlers, but being equally matched in strength, we were both unable to get an advantage. We wrestled like this for what seemed like an hour, and finally we disengaged from each other, very exhausted. (In order to win this battle we must repent of our sins and confess them, which conquers the old fleshly man. 1Jn 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Then we must believe the promises of our crucifixion and life in Christ, which strengthens the spiritual man. Without this, there will be no spiritual victory, only exhaustion. (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me...) Looking over, he said to me, “I think this is a draw”. Replying, I said, “I think you are right”, so we both proceeded back to the class, and he announced to them that the battle was a draw. (We can't afford to believe or speak that there is a draw for this leaves us unevenly yoked to the old man in a lukewarm life.) He then said arrogantly, “Eric stood up to me, but I have friends in high places, and I'm going to bring trouble for Eric; you wait and see!” (Gal.5:17) For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.) Suddenly, I found myself walking in a city I've never seen before. Somehow, I understood I was walking to my house. I remember the whole city was white, both buildings and cars, but the people walking around were dressed in black. (The unseen “kingdom of God has come nigh” but the people are walking in darkness.) When I arrived at my house, police lines were blocking my way. All manner of law enforcement officers were there. (If we don't beat the old man but leave him in control of the class, we break God's law and have to pay the penalty.) One who appeared to be in charge came up to me and asked, “Are you Eric?” I answered, “Yes, I am, but sometimes I'm not sure”. (We never really know who we are until the old man is dead.) He then said, “You are evicted, and you have to walk around in the street”. (The carnal man has taken over our house.) So then I looked toward heaven and cried out, “Lord, what am I to do without a house?” Then the dream ended. (This is a good teaching the Lord has given to us through Eric. We either put to death the old man, or we eventually lose controlling interest in this house we call a body, and maybe even the house we call a home. A more primitive lifestyle, enforced by the beast, is coming to the Church as a whole because of this lukewarm draw.)   In Weakness We Win M.W.- 10/14/2008 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was at a football game. I was part of a team. We were wearing white jerseys, and my teammates were younger kids, for the most part. I remember thinking when I saw my younger teammates, We are going to get killed! The field was on a hill, and it seemed like we were at a higher elevation. As we approached the field, I saw a sign that had the opposing team's name on it. The sign read “ASU”, which is Arizona State University, but during the dream, I didn't think about that; I just noticed “ASU”. If you look up their mascot, you will find that it is the Sun Devils; it is a picture of a devil with a pitchfork. So it was us versus the ASU Sun Devils. Right before the kickoff, I remember being very anxious and again thinking that this might not go well. At first, the field was muddy because I remember our uniforms having some mud on them. We received the ball first and, on a series of plays, marched down to the end of the field of the Sun Devils. I remember that as we moved toward their goal line, it seemed like I was a lot bigger than the ASU players. On the last play that scored the touchdown, I remember thinking, 'Should I play quarterback and maybe throw the ball?' Instead, it was a running play, and I was running just ahead of the running back blocking. It was interesting because I was a grown man, and it was like I was blocking little kids. I blocked several opposing players during the last play, and we scored. It started raining about then, and the Sun Devils forfeited the game. The score was 7-0. After we scored, we were so excited, and it was disappointing to see them forfeit, but it was a relief in a way. I remember watching the last van loaded with gear pull away in the rain and head down the hill. Many are wondering just before the big tribulation game against Satan's fearsome team, how such a small, weak, and immature-looking bunch on God's side could possibly survive, much less win. God's “power is made perfect in weakness.” “Not by might and not by power but by my spirit, saith the Lord.” It is “by my Spirit,” or another way to say it, it is the rain, the Latter Rain, and our weakness that will cause the enemy to forfeit the game. Remember Gideon's army, which God whittled down to 300 men so that in their weakness they would take on an army that was said to be, “like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude.” And what was God's reasoning? (Jdg.7:2) And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. (3) Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from mount Gilead. So, children are the best to go against the enemy like little David went before Goliath. (Mat.18:3) and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. (4) Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. We must be children in our own strength but wise beyond our years in God's strength. (1 Cor.14:20) Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men. (Eph.6:10) Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. (11) Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places]. (13) Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. (14) Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (15) and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (16) withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil [one]. (17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: (18) with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. The Battle begins... My daughter had a dream, too. She and her grandmother were on a big roller coaster ride, which, in the natural, is scary and goes up and down, which represents the conditions many are about to endure. In the dream, I went up into a tower that overlooked a city. (Zion is called “the tower of the flock” and represents the Bride who will be over the rest of the people of God, as in Esther.) She said that I had a very serious look on my face. I was watching over the city, which I was charged to do by the military. (God's Generals will set watchmen for the enemy.) She joined me in the tower, but later she did go back to the roller coaster. The people in her dream were barefoot. (The Church will return to her primitive roots by not departing from the original Word given. Like Moses, they will take off their shoes to not be separated from Holy Ground.)   The Lord Shows His New Models Amos Scaggs - 12/07/2008 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was in a large showroom of a national car company. They were planning and redecorating for a promotion that would be so spectacular it would top any that had been done in the past, and it would keep escalating once it started. (The Lord is about to come out with His new models to show everyone what they, too, can drive. I believe the first-fruits Man-child ministry will be this demonstration. Jesus appeared to show what regeneration looked like.) I had my work done and books organized on my shelves, waiting to see what was going to transpire from this. (We've done the studying and put it in order. Now we are waiting to see what the Lord will show.) I knew it was going to be the biggest thing the world had ever seen, and it was only the first part of the year. I thought, since this is so early in the year, what will the end of the year look like? (The words, “What will the end of the year look like?” implies that something great will grow from this. The baby is born but matures quickly. Many models will be duplicates, symbolizing a revival. In Revelation chapters 12 & 14 the 144,000 man-child body will be duplicates of Jesus to do the greater works He spoke of.) As I was wondering what to do next, I met the Governor, whom I knew. (Jesus will govern from the throne in His earthly body of end-time Davids in a repetition of His-story. (Isa.9:6) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (7) Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.) As I was concerned about what to do next, the Governor said, “Don't worry about a thing. Watch me and you will be doing the same things as I do very soon.” (The Governor is a role model and is coming in His Man-child company to be a role model for others to follow in His same steps. (1Jn.2:5) but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him: (6) he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. The Governor said, “This is what I have planned; this is the beginning”. (The words, “this is the beginning,” imply many vehicles will be produced like these models, meaning a revival will spread from here.) I also thought I had something to do with the Buick showroom. David Buick was an inventor and also formed the Buick Mfg. Co. He and William Durant formed the Buick Motor Co., which is now known as General Motors. Durant was a productionist, and Buick was a perfectionist. Buick left the company in 1906 (because it fell short of his expectations) and died broke in 1929. Had Buick been able to keep his shares in 1921, he would have been worth $10 million and today it would be incalculable. Kind of reminds me of Jesus. (He was also a perfectionist, desiring quality not just quantity in His models. He was disappointed in the direction the early Church took and lost His shares in it. He lost out to the productionist's assembly line Christianity mentality.) Buick was quite the ingenious type who had it all but died broke and still formed a new thing that no one had seen before (but we will see Jesus' new thing again very soon :0).   Invincibility in Jesus G. W. - 11/20/2010 (David's notes in red) I was in a dream where David Eells and I were in the same house. He was explaining to me that we can get into a car crash and nothing will hurt us. I understood him to be teaching about faith. He then said, “Let's go down this hill to try it out”. We both agreed that we would get into this white truck. It began rolling violently down from the top of the hill. We both were outside of the truck cab in the bed -- I was in the front, and David was toward the back. All of a sudden, we both flipped off. David went backward, and I went forward. As it approached me, the nose of it was facing the ground while the bed of the truck was in the air. I knew that the back section was coming right at me, but I had plenty of time to get out of the way. Instead, I just lay there and watched this disaster come toward me. The whole weight of the truck came crashing down on my midsection. As I looked down, I wondered if this truck had cut me in two, but I felt no pain. David came over and pulled me out from underneath. I stood upon my feet, completely whole. David said, “It can't hurt your rib cage”. Naturally speaking, this seemed impossible; however, I realized that I never felt fear as the disaster unraveled. I had been given a dream very similar to this about invincibility a couple of years ago. Jesus and the Two Witnesses had this gift until it was their time to go. Jesus said, “No man takes my life; I lay it down”. We truly have God's protection if we abide in Him, just as Psalm 91 says. So this is not just a gift to the Man-child but something the Davids, as Man-childs, will teach to the saints, as the dream above appears to say. Some will enjoy this until the Lord comes. This invincibility can take many forms. Around the time of this dream, I was driving home from a meeting at night. I wasn't particularly sleepy, just slightly. As I got close to my house, I suddenly found myself waking up out of a sound sleep, seeing headlights bright in my face. Without thinking, I jerked the wheel to the right and swerved quickly into my own lane, just in time to miss the oncoming car. I was amazed that I could have been asleep at the wheel because I didn't even remember feeling tired enough to have to fight it off. I realized that this was supernatural and that the Lord had shown me that He would protect me without my even knowing about it. It was seconds before it would have been too late to miss a head-on collision. I also noticed, as G.W. did, that I never felt fear. After receiving G. W.'s dream, my daughter, Deborah, and I were on the porch swing talking. It was a common bench-type steel swing. It had a chain coming down from a wooden frame on each end of the bench to an S-hook. From there, a chain went to the front bottom of the bench, and another went to the back top of the bench on each end. As we spoke, I was suddenly thrown backward on my back on the deck, but my head slammed into the metal top of the AC unit, which was off the deck, but the top stuck up about six inches higher than the deck. It was with such force and noise that one would have thought my neck would have broken or my head crushed. On my side of the bench, as one chain held the front bottom, the other that held the back came out of the S-hook. This caused my side of the bench to flip violently backward. My daughter was holding on to her side with her legs wrapped around the bench seat. When she heard the noise and saw me down there, she asked, with big eyes and loudly, “Are you all right?” As I reached up to brace her, I was surprised to be able to say, “I'm just fine”. I then laughingly said, “The Lord said He would give His angels charge over me, lest I dash my foot against a stone, but He didn't say anything about my head”. She asked again, “Are you sure you're alright?” I said, “I'm sure”, as I reached back to feel the back of my head and felt no pain nor even a bruise. As I stood up, I realized that indeed the angels had perfectly protected my head and neck, which easily could have been broken. I never felt any fear, just joy. My daughter said, “There is no blood on the back of your head”. I said, “There isn't even a bruise”. As I began to examine the bench and chain, I saw something even more supernatural. The chain that came loose was in perfect shape, like new, with no wear and no broken links. It was the kind of chain most often used on swings. Each link had a partner, and they were stitched in the middle so that if one link broke, it was still tied to one more link. I was amazed to see there was no broken link. Naturally speaking, this would mean the chain had to come out of the S-hook. However, I examined the S-hook, and it was still closed in the S where the chain was missing. “WOW”, I said, “this is supernatural”. The chain could not be put back in the S because it was still closed up, so I grabbed a screwdriver to spread it open so the chain could be reinserted, but I could not pry it open at all; it was too thick to bend. So I put the S next to the post that held the swing and hammered the screwdriver into the S to spread it so I could put the chain in it. I had to drive it in about 3/4” to get it open enough. How did the chain get out of the S-hook? Only supernaturally! I thought, either the devil just tried to kill me and failed due to Father's faithfulness, or the Lord was just showing me He was keeping me safe. I am sure both were true. I indeed had been in a crash, and the Father kept me perfectly. PTL! By the grace of my God, I have been shot at, at close range by a professional assassin, but my angel slapped the bullet down as he told me. The one who sent the assassin confirmed this. In a wreck, I was thrown from a car going 70 mph, slid about 70 feet on concrete without a scratch, with witnesses. My tractor flipped on the side of our mountain and was going to roll, but impossibly straightened back up with me still in the seat. I believe in Father's guardian angels! More recently, Michael and I were unhitching a back blade, a heavy piece of steel, from the tractor. I got off the tractor and was standing about 15 feet from the blade. Michael was on the other side releasing it, and supernaturally it came flying very fast straight at my head. It hit me right on my nose with force and knocked me back another 10 feet to the ground. Michael said he knew I was dead, but to his surprise, I jumped to my feet like nothing had happened. I told him that what I felt was a finger on my nose pushing me to the ground very fast. My angel, no doubt. In the natural, because of the speed at which it came at me, I would have been dead anyway, but I never felt any pain or incurred any damage. Some of this was because the faction had come together to throw witchcraft at me, but failed. Many of them are dead now. Do you find it hard to believe that spiritual powers, good or bad, can take authority over the natural laws, as seen with this S-hook, my head and neck? Many have been learning that they have authority over physical laws concerning the body and laws of nature, through faith and the spoken Word. In the testimony section of our site are multitudes of testimonies of the saints' healing machinery, bodies, cars, and other physical things, changing weather, changing minds, etc. Jesus taught His disciples to take authority over the laws of nature and to teach others to do so because they are not under the curse. (Gal.3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (14) that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (Mar.11:23) Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. (24) Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (And repent of any sin so you will have power.) (25) And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. (26) [But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.] Jesus commanded His disciples to make disciples of all the nations and teach them to obey all things He taught them, even unto the end. (Mat.28:19) Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations ... (20) teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Now we, as His disciples, must teach disciples to obey all the teachings of Jesus and take authority over the physical laws of the curse to proclaim the Gospel. Amen.

In the last few years, the word ‘liminal' has become a mainstay within the public discourse. And yet, navigating our own liminal moments with grace remains an elusive art. It still requires awareness, attention, and practice.In this episode, I contemplate the in‑between times: when the old chapter has dissolved but the new one hasn't quite landed yet in our system. Losses re-organize our sense of belonging, not just on a larger identity level, but also through the disappearance of familiar rituals that hold micro moments together.How might we support ourselves and others as we walk through these bridge periods?It's easy to forget the basics in these moment. To abandon simple practices and timeless principles that actually keep us sane and connected when everything else feels like an emergency.I walk through three ways we tend to respond to these bridge periods. Some of us check out and take a metaphorical (or literal) nap, watching life pass us by like a video game. Some of us go into hyperfocus and hyperpanic, building giant checklists, trying to control every possible outcome, our minds going a million miles per hour even when our bodies are lying in bed.And then there's a third way that's much rarer. We can choose to fully ground into this chapter. To treat the bridge itself as holy ground. To recognize it as a temple in its own right.Those who practice this third response glow in the midst of transition because they're not trying to escape, numb out, or fast‑forward. They're fully present to the exact moment they're in._______Resources & LinksSupport the podcast on Substack hereSign up for my newsletter to hear about new offerings here.If you've enjoyed and benefited from the podcast, I invite you to apply for private mentorship and coaching with me.

BGMania B-Sides #47 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth dives headfirst into the stylish chaos of Neon White, the blisteringly fast first-person action platformer from Angel Matrix that somehow manages to blend speedrunning obsession, visual novel storytelling, and heavenly demon-slaying into one package. Beneath all of the neon-soaked spectacle and twitch-heavy gameplay is a soundtrack that practically refuses to sit still. This episode arrives courtesy of listener Derek, whose request gives us the perfect excuse to spend some time with one of the most immediately recognizable modern indie soundtracks out there. The music comes from Machine Girl, whose aggressive electronic style gives Neon White its pulse-pounding identity, but the soundtrack also knows when to pull back and let atmosphere take over. Email the show at bgmaniapodcast@gmail.com with requests for upcoming episodes, questions, feedback, comments, concerns, or any other thoughts you'd like to share!

#416 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with White Eagle Medicine Woman about a collective awakening framed as "emergency" versus "emergence," describing current global pressure as a birthing canal for a new consciousness. They discussed the collapse of old third-dimensional identity into embodied presence, emphasizing that outer conflict mirrors inner polarity and that reconciliation of opposites is required to ascend. White Eagle explained "neutralizing polarity" using relationship examples and a figure-eight harmonization, linking intention plus attention to manifestation and calling for declaration as embodiment. They explored body-based spiritual adaptation, meditation, lineage and ancestral clearing, and asking divinity for help when stuck in fear, blame, or reaction. They also described the Crystal Skull Method as a structured, participatory practice to activate and ground light, support pineal intention, and integrate higher frequencies, and noted an upcoming nine-day teacher training in Port Macquarie in November.  About Suraj: White Eagle is the founding director and Drum Keeper of the GrandMother Drum International Peace Project and the 501c3 non-profit Whirling Rainbow Foundation based in Homer, Alaska.

Last week we studied what fire doesn't do which means that this week we want to know what fire does do. What does the Lord's presence do to people, places, and spaces? Show Notes: Connect with us on Instagram or Facebook Music: "Indie Vibes" by Roybushband

Connecting With God Through Remembrance We are in a Year of Encounters & Visitations — an Exodus 3:5 year, a year of Holy Ground. You choose your daily encounter. God chooses your holy visitation. In this message, we talk about how to connect with God through remembrance. Jesus said, “Do this in remembrance of Me.” When you remember who God is, what He has said, and what He has done, gratitude rises and faith grows. Remembrance keeps you anchored in truth. It helps you hold onto prophetic words, endure hardship like Joseph, and stay faithful through chaos like Mary. But the enemy also tries to use remembrance against you — pulling you into offense, fear, bitterness, and false narratives. The question is simple: What are you choosing to remember? If you're struggling with joy, peace, or faith, reconnect with God through remembrance.

A listener reached out after watching her mother struggle from a lack of estrogen—and it opened a much bigger conversation about hormones, menopause, and how we respond to change in the body. This episode isn't about fixing what's broken or chasing youth. It's about gaining clarity—understanding what hormones actually are, why there is so much confusion around hormone replacement, and how we can think wisely about care for the body in seasons of transition. Together, we hold biology and theology without fear or extremes. Alisa walks through what hormones are at their most basic level—chemical messengers in the body—and why shifts are a normal part of being human in a broken world. Today's focus is on the female big three: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and how their levels typically peak in our 20s to mid-30s before changing over time. A key theme in this episode is the difference between restorative and resistive approaches to medicine. Rather than striving to reverse time or fight the body, Alisa invites you to consider what it means to restore, support, and reduce inflammation—especially when fear and uncertainty drive many decisions around hormones and menopause. Alisa also shares from her own experience, while offering an important reminder: she is not a medical professional, and this episode is not medical advice. Instead, it's an invitation to thoughtful discernment, curiosity, and peace as you consider how to steward your body well. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why hormones and hormone replacement are so confusing What hormones are and how they function as messengers in the body The female big three: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone Why hormone levels shift after the mid-30s The role of inflammation in hormonal health Restorative vs. resistive medicine—and why the distinction matters This conversation is an invitation to greater clarity, discernment, and peace in how we steward our bodies in seasons of change.
