Podcast appearances and mentions of john matthew

Ever felt like you were called… but stuck in a season of “not yet”? You’re not alone. Whether it’s King David or King Jesus, even God’s greatest waited between their anointing and appointing. But take heart—your “in-between” is never wasted. Key Takeaways You’re Sealed and Claimed – God put His Spirit in you as a guarantee of what’s to come (2 Cor 1:21-22). Anointed ≠ Immediately Appointed – David waited decades; Jesus waited years. Waiting doesn’t mean forgotten. God Doesn’t Rush – He moves in perfect timing (Isaiah 60:22). You’re not behind schedule—you’re being prepared. Your Wait Has a Purpose – David gathered strength and support; Jesus discipled and taught. Your delay is part of your development. Join the Conversation How are you holding onto faith in your waiting season? What has God been refining in you while you wait? Share your reflections using #LifeaudioNetwork. And remember: if He’s anointed you, He will appoint you—right on time.

During his life, the Apostle John changed from a brash young man who wanted to call down fire from Heaven on the heathen to a loving old man whose message was consumed with Christ's followers loving one another. What happened? How did this one who wanted to sit at Jesus' side in His messianic glory become humbled to the point that he simply delighted in being called God's child and seeing his spiritual children walk in truth? Join us as we see how John decided to follow Jesus, and his life was transformed - and how our lives can be transformed by Jesus, too! ---  What is a Christian, and what does a Christian do?

Devin: What do you see, JohnMatthew, as your superpower?JohnMatthew: My superpower is a committed life.“There are cities that are literally separated by a zip code; in one zip code, you may see a life expectancy of 80, 85 years of age and in another that butts right up against it, you may see a life expectancy of 65 years, 70 years of age,” explains JohnMatthew Douglas, a leading authority on social determinants of health in helping to define his discipline.Health is measured in many ways, but life expectancy is a simple, easy-to-understand barometer for the impact of social circumstances on population and individual health. Wealth, in other words, is “absolutely” and “intrinsically” linked to life expectancy, he says.One of the ways that individuals can play a role in reducing socioeconomic gaps that accelerate death and cause poor health is crowdfund investing–impact crowdfunding.“Within the United States, we have an environment within which 80 percent of business owners are white–actually, a little bit more than that,” JohnMatthew says. “Somewhere in the neighborhood of 14.5, 15% Hispanic, approximately 2.4% or so are Black-owned businesses, and then the rest are dispersed among our diverse population.”Noting that Black-owned businesses are perceived as having a higher rate of failure, he says, “This is occurring not because of a lack of will and desire and passion, great idea, great solution. But it's occurring because of a lack of access to the resources and tools and knowledge that an entrepreneur or small business would need to ensure their success.”Crowdfund investing is a tool we can all use to address this lack of funding.JohnMatthew consults with the Lonely Entrepreneur, “a SaaS platform that makes it easier for not only for Black and Brown communities of entrepreneurs but all entrepreneurs actually, to access the knowledge, tools and resources that they need to ensure their success.”By investing in diverse founders, we are directly addressing the social determinants of health in a constructive way toward closing gaps in health outcomes.JohnMatthew has developed his expertise and a successful career serving people because he has followed the counsel of Rev. Martin Luther King to have a “committed life,” making it his superpower.AI Episode Summary* Devin Thorpe interviews John Matthew Douglas, co-founder of Nello Health and I Press Forward LLC, on the Superpowers for Good show.* John Matthew Douglas is an authority on social determinants of health and explains that social determinants of health are about the environment we live in and the barriers that may hinder our health and well-being.* There is a connection between social determinants of health and life expectancy, both globally and within specific communities, with wealthier areas having longer life expectancies than impoverished ones.* Nelo Health is using technology and the metaverse to address social determinants of health and improve patient outcomes and the overall healthcare system.* Upstream interventions focus on addressing neglected social determinants such as education and economic empowerment to position individuals for a better life and reduce reliance on downstream interventions.* Crowdfunding can help address health concerns by providing funding to diverse founders who are traditionally excluded from capital markets, leading to positive impacts on health outcomes and communities.* John Matthew's superpower is living a committed life, inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s call to redefine greatness as an individual's capacity to serve others.* He shares an example of his mentorship program, I Press Forward, which successfully impacted the lives of at-risk middle school students through the collaboration of professionals, including Rear Admiral Ken Braithwaite.* The program helped improve attendance, behavior, and academic performance of the students, emphasizing the importance of passion, vision, and believing in oneself.* John Matthew can be reached on LinkedIn and through Nelo Health and I Press Forward LLC's websites.How to Develop A Committed Life As a SuperpowerMLK preached that one's goal should be to maximize service to others. He called that a “committed life.” Having given his life in pursuit of that ideal, subsequent generations–including JohnMatthew–have been influenced by his commitment to walking his preaching.In our conversation, JohnMatthew shared an anecdote to illustrate the power of leaning into a commitment to serving others. He recounts founding the mentorship program "I Press Forward" in 2012 at the behest of a public school teacher. Focused on rescuing middle school boys from troubled paths, the program was inspired by the challenges of crime, single-parent households, and poor attendance. The program's foundation rested on imparting soft skills, resilience, and leadership to students. A pivotal moment came when retired Rear Admiral Ken Braithwaite engaged with the program, sharing his experiences of meeting presidents and emphasizing that anyone, regardless of circumstances, can succeed in the United States.Over four impactful years, the program enhanced students' attendance, behavior, and academic performance, transcending the confines of their neighborhoods.By following JohnMatthew's example, you can make a committed life a strength that defines you, too. In so doing, you can make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Guest-Provided ProfileJohnMatthew Douglas (he/him):Biographical Information: John Matthew Douglas (JohnMatthew), with nearly two- and one-half decades of diverse healthcare industry experience, tireless work in social determinants of health (SDoH) offers perspective many may have not considered. Meaning social determinants of working life condition, community violence, entrepreneurship & economic empowerment, and a new definition of competitive market collaboration bent towards achieving the heavy lift of effectively addressing social determinants of health and sustainable community impact.

You'll learn not just how to make investments via crowdfunding but how to make money doing it.Many impact crowdfunding investors focus on impact first. I admire the approach but note that a goal for maximizing impact is best accomplished by making money. It works two ways. A company that goes out of business has no impact after it dies. One that grows profitably can do unlimited amounts of good. Furthermore, if the investment delivers financial results to you, you can reinvest and do more good as an investor!If you're focused primarily on making money, you'll find this session helpful, too.

John didn't have a cell phone, email address, Facebook, Twitter or any other technology or social media platform. While in prison he had to rely on his followers to seek out and gather information for him.  Do you think he was surprised at Jesus' answer to the question "Are you the one who is to come...?"from Matthew 11:2-11When John the Baptist heard in prison of the works of the Christ,he sent his disciples to Jesus with this question,"Are you the one who is to come,or should we look for another?"Jesus said to them in reply,"Go and tell John what you hear and see:the blind regain their sight,the lame walk,lepers are cleansed,the deaf hear,the dead are raised,and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me."Read the full Gospel passage: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/121122.cfm

How God speaks to us    Talk 14 Prophets and Prophecy (Part 2)   The ministry of a prophet From what we've said so far, it should be clear that although all Christians are to ‘prophesy' in the general sense of speaking on God's behalf, not all will exercise the gift of prophecy. And not all who exercise this gift will be prophets in the Ephesians 4:11 sense. In short:   All God's people should prophesy (speak on his behalf) Some, but not all will receive the spiritual gift of prophecy (to edify the church) Some, but not all of these will exercise the ministry of a prophet. So what can we learn about prophets as distinct from those who have the gift of prophecy?    We saw earlier that prophets are people who hear from God and then pass on to others what he has said. They speak on behalf of God. Of course, because God knows the future, prophets may foretell the future (if that is what the Lord reveals to them), but most of the time they speak on God's behalf to the people of their own generation. This was true of the prophets in the Old Testament and it's true of prophets today. However, there's a very important difference between prophets today and those of the Old Testament.   Differences between OT prophets and prophets today Prophets today do not fulfil the same role as OT prophets and we should not expect them to do so. People like Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel etc. were people of great power and influence, proclaiming God's word and manifesting his power to Israel and to the nations beyond.    But we must be careful not to assume that prophets today will be the same. For a model of what we should expect of a prophet today we need to look at the New Testament and those who are described as prophets after the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2). Until then the Holy Spirit was given to relatively few people, but at Pentecost Moses' prayer that all God's people would be prophets (Numbers 11:29) was answered, and Joel's prophecy that God would pour out his Spirit on all people began to be fulfilled (Joel 2:28, Acts 2:16-17).    This meant that Acts 2 was in a very real sense a turning point in human history. The real dividing-line in God's dealings with mankind is not the break between Old and New Testaments, but the seven weeks that started with Christ's death and resurrection and that culminated with the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost. From then on the Holy Spirit was available to all and, as we have seen, all God's people are in a sense ‘prophets' (Acts 2:16-18).   This means that people referred to as prophets in the New Testament before Pentecost should be considered in the same category as the Old Testament prophets. John the Baptist, for example, was the last in the line of Old Testament prophets. Jesus himself made this clear when he said: For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John (Matthew 11:13). In saying this Jesus revealed the continuity of the prophetic line from Moses right through to John for, until Jesus came, all prophetic ministry pointed forward to him.    But what was the purpose of prophetic ministry after Jesus had come?  There clearly was to be a change of emphasis and we must not be surprised if certain differences appear in the role of the prophet after Pentecost. So, what is the ministry of a prophet today and how is it different from that of the Old Testament prophets?   To answer this question, we need to look at some of the people who are named as prophets in the Book of Acts. These are Agabus (Acts 11:27-28, 21:10), Judas and Silas (Acts 15:32), and some or all of those mentioned in Acts 13:1-2 (Barnabas, Simeon, Lucius, Manaen, Paul). The difficulty here is that it is not clear whether they were all ‘prophets and teachers' or whether some were prophets and some were teachers.   Of all those mentioned in the previous paragraph, we know nothing more of Simeon, Lucius, Manaen, and Judas.  Barnabas and Paul were also apostles and so it is difficult to distinguish their apostolic ministry from their prophetic ministry.  Silas said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers (Acts 15:32) and preached that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God (2 Cor.1:19-20).  We know little else of his ministry except that he accompanied Paul on his second missionary journey.    This leaves Agabus of whom we know rather more. He clearly spoke with great revelation from the Spirit (Acts 11:27-28, 21:10) including the accurate prediction of certain future events. His prophecy about a widespread famine is a well-known example of this (Acts 11:27-30) as is his prediction of Paul's captivity in Jerusalem (Acts 21:11).    From this it is clear that his ministry involved more than the simple gift of prophecy which need not contain any element of prediction. However, there is no suggestion that he fulfilled a role similar to that of OT prophets like Moses, Elijah etc. who spoke prophetically to national leaders.    This leads me to the conclusion that though the prophets referred to in Ephesians 4:11 exercised a greater ministry than the simple gift of prophecy, they are by no means the same as the prophets of the Old Testament or as John the Baptist in the New. And that understanding must surely influence any conclusion we may wish to draw about the role of prophets today.   Prophets today So far we have looked briefly at the role of prophets in both the Old and New Testaments. Our purpose in doing so was to establish precisely what kind of gift is referred to in Ephesians 4:11. Our findings may be summarised as follows:   The prophets referred to in Ephesians 4:11 are not the same as the prophets of the Old Testament NT prophets before Pentecost the simple gift of prophecy (1 Cor. 12:10).   So to discover the role of prophets today, we must examine any NT examples of the ministry of prophets after Pentecost - and we have noted that Agabus is the only clear example.   Agabus We find references to the ministry of Agabus first in Acts 11 and then later in Acts 21. In Acts 11:27-28 we read that some prophets came to Antioch. One of them, named Agabus stood up and predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world.   We are then told not only that this came to pass (v.28), but also what the disciples decided to do about it and how they did it. They decided that they would provide help for the brothers living in Judea (v.29) and they did so by sending a gift by Barnabas and Saul (v.30).   Two things are important here. First, Agabus' prediction came to pass. If it had not done so it would have been a false prophecy according to the principles laid down in Deuteronomy 18:21-22. Clearly if a prophetic revelation comes from God it will come to pass.    Secondly, it is noteworthy that the prophet did not tell the disciples what to do. Agabus simply gave them information as to what would happen. There is no suggestion here, therefore, that the prophet gives direction to the church or to individuals. But this is something which becomes even clearer when we consider the later passage in Acts 21 where we read:   … a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. Coming over to us he took Paul's belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles' (vv.10-11).   The disciples then pleaded with Paul not to go to Jerusalem (v.12), but Paul answered that if needs be he was ready to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus (v.13). Seeing that they could not persuade him, the disciples replied, The Lord's will be done (v.14).   Again we see clearly that the prophet does not give direction to Paul. Agabus tells Paul that he will go to Jerusalem and that he will be captured by the Jews and handed over to the Gentiles. He does not tell him not to go. It is the disciples in the following verses who plead with Paul not to go. They put their own interpretation on the prophecy. But Paul knew that they were misunderstanding what God was saying, for he himself knew what God wanted him to do.   To help us understand this we need to go back to Acts 20. Paul is on his way to Jerusalem, hoping to get there in time for the feast of Pentecost (v.16). He reaches Miletus and sends to Ephesus for the elders of the church (v.17). In his farewell address to them he says And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me… (Acts 20: 22-24)  Three things are significant here. First, it is clear that prophetic ministry was common at that time. In every city Paul was receiving prophetic words. Secondly, these prophetic words were testifying to the same thing. Paul would be imprisoned in Jerusalem. Thirdly, despite all this Paul was convinced that God wanted him to go for he was compelled by the Spirit to do so.    It is very important to understand this when we come to Acts 21:4 which says that through the Spirit the disciples at Tyre urged Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. This apparently completely contradicts Paul's own statement that he was compelled by the Spirit to go (20:22). However, the passage about Agabus (vv. 10-14) sheds light on this. The disciples at Tyre made the same mistake as those at Caesarea. They received a revelation from the Spirit as to Paul's future imprisonment, but they wrongly understood that this meant that Paul was not to go.   So the ministry of Agabus teaches us that prophets today may receive revelation from the Holy Spirit with regard to the future. However, it is not their role to tell the church or individual Christians what to do. They do not give direction. They impart to us information from the Spirit which helps us decide in advance what to do (Acts 11) or may encourage us that we are still in the will of God even when we are called to pass though hardship and difficulty (Acts 20-21).   One example of a present-day prophet is César Castellanos. When I met him he was the leader of a church in Columbia which was at the time almost certainly one of the fastest growing churches in the world, with over 200,000 members. In 1998 he visited Britain and was the guest preacher at a conference I attended. At the end of a special late-night meeting where César had been speaking to about a dozen national Christian leaders, he prayed for each one of us in turn. When he came to me, instead of praying, he prophesied. His prophecy included the following statement:   This is what the Holy Spirit says: I will greatly anoint your pen and your writing will be a blessing to thousands and thousands of people.   How was I to respond to such a wonderful prophecy? Let's see what the New Testament has to say about this and then ask how it applies to César's prophecy about me. It's very important, when we hear prophetic words of this kind, that we consider very carefully what has been said and judge it in the light of what the New Testament teaches.     How to respond to the ministry of prophets today In 1 Corinthians 14:29 we're told to judge or weigh carefully what a prophet says. We must not automatically assume that everything a prophet says comes from the Lord. A prophet may well have received something from the Lord, but the way they express it may be influenced by their own interpretation of what the Lord has given them.    Remember the people in Acts 21 who were telling Paul not to go to Jerusalem? They had heard rightly from the Lord that Paul would suffer when he went to Jerusalem, but they put their own construction on it and told him not to go! There's a human element in every prophecy, even when it's given by divine inspiration.   So how do we weigh or judge a prophecy? It will greatly help if we ask ourselves questions like these: Is the prophecy in line with the principles of Scripture? Is the person who brought the prophecy reliable? Do we have an inner witness that this is from the Lord?  Are there any other signs confirming the prophecy? If the answers to these questions are positive, then it would be wise to ask the Lord what our next course of action might be, and perhaps to seek the advice of one or more of our church leaders. Do they have any conviction that this is what God is saying? Other important questions you might ask are: Is there any indication of the timing of the fulfilment of the prophecy? We shouldn't automatically assume that it will happen immediately.  As time passes, can we see definite signs that the prophecy is coming to pass?   Now, just by way of example, if I apply these principles to César's prophecy about myself, I can certainly see that: His prophecy was in line with the principles of Scripture The person who brought the prophecy was reliable I did have an inner witness that it was from the Lord. It was a confirmation of what I had already felt that God was saying to me. In the weeks leading up to that conference I had been feeling that God wanted me to give more time to writing. César's prophecy came as a wonderful confirmation The fact that he did not know me was in itself a good sign of its genuineness. César had never met me. He knew that I was a Christian leader but he had no way of knowing that I was a writer.  There was an almost immediate fulfilment and it continues to be fulfilled over 20 years later. Since that time, I have written several books which have been translated into a variety of different languages. They have certainly reached thousands already and I continue to receive messages of thanks from grateful readers.    In using this illustration, I have simply tried to highlight the fact that God does still speak through prophets today and to show how important it is to know how to evaluate what they say. In the final analysis, as the children of God it is our privilege to be led by God's Spirit and, although he may choose to speak to us through prophetic ministry, we, and we alone, can determine God's will for our lives. And it's because we have the Spirit that God sometimes speaks to us directly, without any human intermediary, and that will be the subject of our next talk.

Let's talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly about Social Determinants of Health. The United States healthcare ecosystem continues to struggle with providing affordable, equitable access to preventative and episodic care. This week's guest is John Matthew Douglas, CEO of SDoH&E Gold Standard Collaborative, Founder and CEO of iPressForward, LLC and The Lonely Entrepreneur (TLE) offers his perspective on the subject. As a SDoH advocate, John facilitates the collaboration and communication of information geared closing the gaps in the social determinants of health and education. In this episode, he offers perspective on the struggles our US healthcare system has in addressing health disparities, inequities, its economic impact and how education can be a way to start shifting this paradigm. John Matthew also explains how, right now, we are being reactive to the conditions in the space instead of being proactive to change the characteristics of our system. He cannot stress enough the amount of money the system would save if there were more programs that address the root causes contributing to SDoH&E. Finally, he reflects on the inequities in clinical studies with regards to race and gender.

Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” 22 When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.

Daily Devotional by Megan Samples, based on John Matthew 6:9-13.

We wanted Tohr to have a new HEA after Wellsie. He has been struggling so hard to come back from the dead to re-engage with everything and everyone in his life. We were cautiously optimistic about this book, despite having no real connection to No'one yet. But this book was not the beautiful new romance we were promised, and we are here to tell you why!Some major points we discussed: Tohr and his seemingly unending stupidity in not letting go of Wellsie for so longNo'One name pronunciationNo'One getting renamed Autumn (Spoiler: We were not for it!)John Matthew and Xhex's arc of him going all bonded male on her and Xhex not taking itQuinn and Blay! Quinn is coming for Blay!X'Cor and Layla's meeting and the fact that he puts his mouth on her... but don't they all?!On Romance at a Glance, we discuss and review all genres of romance novels, as well as get into the nitty-gritty of real-life romance, relationships, and sex... while cracking each other up. Expect some spontaneous singing, funny anecdotes, honest reviews, and naughty language.Check out www.romanceataglance.comChat with us on Instagram at instagram.com/romanceataglanceSupport us on Patreon at patreon.com/romanceataglance

AKA Soulmates in the time of kidnappingAKA The feelz were so real If you listened last episode, you know we were shocked to find Xhex captured. THIS BOOK. Was soo good. We were worried that John Matthew was just going to save her, but Xhex retained her agency and John Matthew delivered as a male of worth.  We waited a long time for Lover Mine and were shipping this couple from the jump! In this review, we cover Xhex's general badass-ness and willingness to use her sympath abilities, John Matthew's complete commitment to her (including his tattoo), and his grin when she says she wants to learn sign language, and how Lash played into their dynamic and the conclusion of the book and their romance. On Romance at a Glance, we discuss and review all genres of romance novels, as well as get into the nitty-gritty of real-life romance, relationships, and sex... while cracking each other up.

When you read a series as long as The Black Dagger Brotherhood, it is inevitable that you will come to a book that is harder to read through and finish than the others. That was Phury's book (and Cormia's) for us. We discuss how we did not enjoy the addition of Phury's Wizard in his head, the fact that their love story and HEA didn't feel justified because they spent so little time together in the book and why Phury's bonding scent took so long to come out. As always we dip into the side plots including Blay revealing he is in love with Quinn and their kiss, Z being kind of a dick to Phury about the saving him thing, Lash's murder by Quinn making him into John Matthew's ahstrux nohstrum and more. Stick around for the movie that made Shani realize she's kinky and how different our upbringing were in regards to sex. On Romance at a Glance, we discuss and review all genres of romance novels, as well as get into the nitty-gritty of real-life romance, relationships, and sex... while cracking each other up.

On this Baptism of Christ Sunday, we hear about Jesus's baptism by John (Matthew 3:13-17). Humans seem hardwired to seek belonging and community. Baptism is one ritual through which we are brought into a community and given a sense of belonging. How might our baptismal vows draw us deeper into community?

And let's not forget Twilight.- In romance, you should check out the Argeneau series by Lynsay Sands, or any number of books by Jeaniene Frost. Nalini Singh's Guild Hunters series has a vampire hunter. Sherrilyn Kenyon also has lots of books in this category. In urban fantasy, of course there was the Sookie Stackhouse series, and it's TV adaptation True Blood.- In fact, the 90s were full of vampires in the movies and on TV: Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker's Dracula, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and if you've never seen it, the opening scene from Blade that Jen mentioned.- Sarah would like you to consider the fact that very few people know who Mary Shelley is, but Francis Ford Coppola made a blockbuster movie with Bram Stoker's name in the actual title because patriarchy is a helluva drug.- Is it romance or urban fantasy?- The JR Ward interview was in Louisville Magazine.- The Wicked Wallflowers interviewed JR Ward and it's just terrific.- Jen read all the RITAs, and she reviewed Consumed in the romantic suspense category and Dearest Ivie in the paranormal category.- All about sawed-off shotguns.- Sarah said John Michael, but OF COURSE she meant John Matthew.

A ton is 2000 pounds.- Wellsie is maybe a stand in for Smith vs. Wellesley.- Jen was reading Native Son in college when her professor told her blindness is always a symbol. Oedipus blinded himself, and oracles are seers are often blind. Daredevil is blind and can still kick your ass. The other most famous Blind King Jen could find is in Assassin's Creed.- Next up is Priest by Sierra Simone.

1) The Baptism of John Matthew 3:11 2 & 3) The Baptisms of Jesus Acts 1:5; Matthew 28:19

The Meekness of Jesus Christ of Nazareth Convergence of Authority and Meekness of the Jesus Christ of Nazareth Review of What the Bible says about His Authority Some Instances of Christ’ Demonstrations of His Authority (past, present and future) NOTE: The authority of Jesus Christ as a King did not come by Himself (not Charismatic, Traditional, Representative) nor through any Roman powers, but he came by the Word and the Will of the Heavenly Father (Divine) . If He is a King, then He must have Kingdom. And His Kingdom is not of this world we are told (John 18:36) Past (Prior to His Humanity) Genesis 3:15 Jeremiah 23:6 Salvation will come as a result of His kingship Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass” John 1:49). John 12:13 Present: (The God-Man) Bible Is replete with historical accounts of His Authority (Jesus Ministry) Luke 4:35-36 Matt 8: 26 Luke 4:20-22 20 Future: Revelation 5: 8-10 Question: “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 And have made [d]us kings[e] and priests to our God; And [f]we shall reign on the earth Meekness What is Meekness?: Meaning: Strength in Control Prophesy concerning His meekness: Isaiah 53:7 Psalms 22: 6-8 Litmus test for Meekness: an effective way or condition of proving or measuring meekness are: Position/power: John 1: 1 Philippians 5: 2-11 2. Trials, persecution and adversity: Are you the King of the Jew? (John 18:36). John 18:8 John 18:23 John 8:46 CHRIST: THE MEEK AND LOWLY AN EXAMPLE IN HIS CHARACTER AND HIS TEACHINGS Hebrews 7:26 Matthew 11:25-30 Christ teaches about meekness citing John the Baptist example is worthy of mention here. John 1: 23 Christ testimony of John: Matthew 11: 11 3 -points Substitutional Sacrifice: 1 John 3:5 How Is that going to be achieved ?---through meekness. Meekness of the Lord Jesus Christ will do more for His mission. (Mission) Matthew 1: 2121 Isaiah 53:5 It was something He did as a substitute for the sinner. And he did it for me and you! Examine Philippians 5: 2-11 7 but [c]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, = He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 MEEKNESS IS REQUIRED FOR THE SCRIPTURES TO BE FULFILLED Just as Joseph’s victory was in the famine, Christ’s victory over our sin is won on the Cross. Even though He is so powerful and sovereign, He was willing to go all the to the cross, despising shame. Christ would put His Strength in control in order to accomplish His mission. (Meekness of the Lord Jesus Christ will do more for His mission) Consider the choice of Judas Iscariot as one of the disciples. Have you ever wondered why Jesus would choose him? Christ is All-knowing. He knew Judas will betray Him but “That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die” (John 18:32). Jesus knew and had predicted what was coming.

6:30pm. November 13th 1974. Ronald DeFeo Jr., 23, burst into Henry's Bar in Long Island yelling "You gotta help me, I think my mother and father are shot!" A small group from the bar followed Ronald back to 112 Ocean Avenue and found both of Ronald's parents as well as his sisters Dawn and Allison, and his brothers Marc and John Matthew, dead in their beds. The cause of death? Gun shots. Ronald told police of a mob hitman and as questions ensued the real killer came to light. "Once I started I just couldn't stop, it went so fast" Ronald confessed to murdering his entire family. Little did anyone know the house where this horrific incident took place would become infamous for so much more...

When Jesus rose from the dead he appeared to his disciples and he breathed on them saying, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld." (John 20:22-23) In giving them the Holy Spirit he also gave them the authority to forgive or withhold sins. Many people are confused by this verse because we have equated being born again with having our sins forgiven. But forgiveness of sins existed in the Old Covenant through the sacrificial system where the blood of bulls and goats would temporarily cleanse the conscience of the worshipper. Then when the Old Covenant was coming to an end, John the Baptist came preaching a message of repentance and offered the people forgiveness of sins through water baptism. Though Jesus said there was no man born of a woman that was greater than John the Baptist, yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John (Matthew 11:11)...but how? It is because the one who has been born into the kingdom of heaven has been filled with the Holy Spirit and given the authority to forgive or withhold sins. In this podcast, Peter explains this great responsibility and how it is not to be confused with the power to get people "born again" but is an integral part of our ministry in reconciling the world back to the Father.Support the show (https://app.clovergive.com/app/giving/clodo-braveheartministries)

In this episode I take you inside the Sacred Wheel Immersion for a look at our Yule class. In this class we discuss some of the ancient pagan origins of modern Christmas Traditions. We dive into the mythology behind the Christmas tree, the use of candles and light this time of year, and some of the myth and legend behind the figure of Santa Clause. We also discuss the Omen Days, or a period of time that is rich for divination this time of year. Then we finish up with a discussion of how you can repurpose some rituals and practices this time of year to leave you feeling more connected to the earth, more peaceful and reap the gifts of the abundant darkness. Here are the links discussed in the class.
