from Ecclesiastes 9:11 Using the Summer Olympics as our backdrop, we'll spend these four weeks considering the purpose, the challenges, the motivation, and the gift of one another toward a life that is fruitful for the Kingdom of God and pleasing to the heart of God as we run the race marked out for us.  … Continue reading "(July 28, 2024) “Olympics of the Spirit: Not as Planned”"

Jesus is so gracious to us!  Here the disciples have failed and Jesus pauses once again to give them insight on how to live in the Spirit NOT the flesh.Mark 14:38 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Galatians 5:25-6:10 When have you known someone who stood out from the crowd? Alive by the Spirit How do we keep in step with the Spirit?

Romans 8:1-11 Following the Spirit Not the Flesh

The argument of Stephen's speech in Acts 7 is not easy to follow. Why is such a long, seemingly rambling retelling of Israel's history, included by Luke in his riveting account of the mission of the Spirit- Not many sermons lead to the death of the preacher. For this reason alone, Stephen's response to the accusations made before the Jewish council should be significant. What in Stephen's message created such rage resulting in the church's first martyr--What is the connection between Stephen's stoning and a young religious zealot named Saul who gave his approval to the execution- Why does a slavish devotion to the external form of religion rather than coming to the reality of Christ always involve a 'resisting of the Holy Spirit'-

Plus … healing! Does this sound impossible? Hang on for the ride … and watch things improve in your life! ____________________________________________________  STRESS, ANXIETY AND YOUR BRAIN HOW TO PROFIT FROM STRESS In my 2018 teaching “Anointed Slowdown: Preparation for Your Future” I told people to: Slow down NOW. Get involved helping others. Do NOT overload yourself with schedule. Cut out in your mind's eye what you want to do in the future. Write down your Holy Spirit goals and claim Mark 11:24 regularly.  I told my subscribers, “SLOW DOWN NOW!” I warned them, “The reason you need to slow down NOW is because stressful times are coming. You will need all the “preparation” you can get to maintain spiritual equilibrium.” If you have not done so, study my teachings below:  Dealing with Stress In the End TimesFrustration and Your Future – The Way Out My definition of “balance”—the micro one—is to maintain a “peace zone” out of which you refuse to wander. That is, stay in Area 14 where you refuse to be bothered: by Satan, by demons, by people … even by Christians. As a graduate industrial engineer, I was required to study and know such subject matter as: Strength of Materials, Dynamics, Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis, and, in addition, upper level Physics and Electro-Chemistry. I find it interesting that the physical (or, physics) definition of stress is two fold and more correctly applicable to the human genome: An applied external force or system of forces that tends to strain or deform a body. The internal resistance of a body to such an applied force or system of forces. Therefore, as pertains to the human condition, we could accurately say that stress (either from external or internal forces) is: “a mentally, physically, or emotionally disruptive or upsetting condition occurring in response to adverse external or internal influences and capable of affecting physical health, usually characterized by increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure, muscular tension, irritability, and depression.” Since we are a tripartite being (body, mind, spirit) we can reasonably assume that stress can affect us: physically, mentally, and spiritually; and that, since all three are interconnected, either one may also influence the others. The synergistic effect of which could produce total wreck, or breakdown! This is WHY some people who come to me for help seem to at first be manifesting total meltdown. THE BAD NEWS One psychologist reports that the average high school student today has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950's. _________________________ IMPORTANT FACTS TO KNOW Anxiety related issues are #1 health issue in the USA. The #2 issue for men after alcohol. Over $48 Billion spent yearly in USA on stress. Over $300 Billion if loss of productivity is included. 95% of teenagers have a friend dealing with stress. USA is #1 nation in world dealing with stress._________________________ THE GOOD NEWS Stress is essential to brain health. Paul Bendheim, M.D., states that, “Neuroscientists have discovered that, in order to learn, we need a certain amount of short-term tolerable stress to stay sharp and grow our brains.” Moderate, occasional stress promotes new cell generation. Enjoyable forms of self-induced stress (like physical exercise) can help our brains by improving short-term memory. Also, our overall health benefits from moderate stress by helping our immune system to stay on guard to protect against infectious micro-organisms and cancer. Let me give you four KEY curatives to stress and anxiety-related conditions: 1. STOP the activities that seem to be causing you stress. If you can not stop them completely, then force yourself to take pre-scheduled breaks for rest or recreation. (A non scheduled break could be as soon as you feel the outset of anxiety or stress.) 2. DO something you enjoy. Find a new hobby or recreation … do something you have always wanted to do: Ride a motorcycle. Fly an airplane. Build something. Learn to dance. 3. SPEAK affirmations to yourself. Write them on paper, or record them and play them back. The importance is TO SAY them to yourself. The speech mechanism is vitally associated with your central nervous system. You can bring healing and strength to your whole system, especially if you are saying the Word of God. Find scriptures that pertain to: Your situation; and, Your new goals (recreation or desires). One great resource available is my book, Total Person Toolbox: Words That Work. 4. PRAY in tongues: the language of the Holy spirit. A. When you pray in tongues, you are praying according to the will of God, even if you do not understand it. “He who, when speaking, uses the gift of 'tongues' is speaking, not to men, but to God, for no one understands him; yet in the Spirit he is speaking of hidden truths.” (1 Corinthians 14:2) B. Also, when you even just sigh (or groan) in tongues, you are allowing the Holy Spirit to intercede for you according to the will of God, and thereby bring you therapeutic help. “Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for s with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” (Romans 8:26-27) C. One of the great advantages when you praise God in tongues is that you are engaged in pure worship. There are not enough words in your native language (Hebrew, English, Spanish, etc.) to tell God how wonderful He is, and how much you love Him. However, when you praise Him in tongues, the Holy Spirit (the Ruach HaKodesh) is praising the LORD through you, and God comes on the scene with healing power. The Bible tells us God lives in the praises of His people. “But you are holy, You who inhabit the praises of Israel.” (Psalm 22:3) Here is a link to a great resource on the Holy Spirit PLUS gifts of the Spirit (including speaking in tongues): How to Receive God's Power with Gifts of the Spirit, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY Learn to make stress work for YOU. Monitor the daily (or weekly) events that cause stress and anxiety. Pray and ask God to help you recognize chronic stress levels that are UNhealthy. These can affect memory and judgment resulting from impaired nerve cell growth and their cable-like connections. Also, too much high, chronic, stress affects the “executive center”―prefrontal cortex of frontal lobes―of the brain causing bad decisions. Other problems that can result from “skewed” brain instructions are increased risk of heart attacks, high blood pressure, cancer and intestinal problems (lke IBS) and ulcers. A five year study showed that those with “high stress proneness” had twice the risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease. Listen to your body: frequent stomach sensations, tension headaches, muscle tension and soreness, especially in the neck and shoulders … AND chronic fatigue can all be signs … in addition to FEAR. Do NOT accommodate fear. WHAT ABOUT FEAR Another “sign upon the road” is FEAR. The basic stress response is “fight or flight” and is genetic. However, chronic stress can damage memory formation and weaken the immune system. Love is stronger than fear. The Bible says, “Love casts out fear.” The next time fear knocks at the door of your heart, let faith answer it. Remember … the Bible says to followers of the Messiah: “For God has NOT given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7) Fear is a spirit. You've received a Spirit NOT of fear. Resist fear. Just speak to it and say, "I won't take you. I refuse you. God says I've received not a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Fear knocked at the door … faith answered … and no one was there. If you allow fear to linger it rewires your brain and bypasses the prefrontal cortex. “A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.” (Proverbs 27:12) I have done lots of investing through the years by day trading and investing in commodities and futures where I operated with large margins for the advantage of leverage. Of course, if the trades went “south” the margins worked to my disadvantage. But, here, I want to illustrate the good use of margins. The definition of “margin” is “An amount available beyond what is actually needed.” One source describes it as, “The space between our current load and our limits.” WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE MARGIN Stress goes up. Focus narrows. Relationships suffer.*** You are not prepared for the future. *** Notice: Relationships only start … or are nourished … during margin. In Luke 17:1, Messiah Yeshua taught: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come ...” This is where “margin” can be a buffer to protect you from stress. HOW YOU DEVELOP MARGIN Slow down. Simplify things in your life: activities, stuff, technology. Allow for and establish time, money, work and relationship margins. Give yourself SPACE. Don't make things too binding … too tight … too limited: Plan for MARGIN in your time, your financial dealings, your work, your relationships! FINALLY Good News: One of God's Names in the Hebrew language—Jehovah Rapha―means “The LORD Who Heals.” He is, “The LORD your physican.” He can heal your stress, your body, your soul and your spirit. All you have to do is ASK Him. Just pray this prayer: “God in Heaven, I need healing. Please forgive my sins. I turn away from them and turn to YOU. Please come into my life and take over NOW. Save me and heal me. Give me Eternal Life. Help me to live for YOU here on Earth, and take me to Heaven when I die. I ask this in the Name of Your Son: Jesus, the Messiah.” "I am the LORD that heals you."Torah: Exodus 15:26 Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.Your friend, Prince Handley President / RegentUniversity of Excellence Podcast time: 16 minutes, 2 seconds.

MUSIC Elijah the Prophet had a super ministry. He was an open-air prophet. He believed God for everything in his life, and yet there were probably times that Elijah wondered, "When will God perform? When will I see God's provision in my life? How long will I have to wait for God to show Himself this time as the Lord of my confession?" After Elijah had been so greatly used of God when he appeared before wicked King Ahab―the leader of the nation―there was no time to look to the ground. He had to continue to keep his eyes off the ground and on the LORD in the sky. Now I warn to tell you, brothers and sisters, it's after you've been used greatly by God that you'd better watch out. That's the time you need to get your eyes on the LORD, keep your eyes up, lift up your vision. It's after you've been greatly used of God that the enemy, Satan, will try to catch you with your guard down. You may have been a tremendously used vessel of God in the past: last month, last few years, last decade. You may have reached millions of people for Christ in many nations of the world. But it's no time to retire. It's time to lift up your vision. It's time to loose more of the faith and power of God than you ever have before. Remember what happened when some men were burying a man? There was a sepulchre, and in that sepulchre, the bones of Elisha the Prophet had been buried. Elisha, the protégé of Elijah the Prophet, had been a great man of faith, and had received a double portion of Elijah's anointing. Yet here he was, in the grave. His spirit had already gone to be with God, and men not knowing he was buried there, were getting ready to bury another man in that same sepulchre. But they spied a band of robbers coming in their direction. Immediately, they dropped the body of the dead man into that sepulchre, and the dead man sprang to life when he touched the bones of Elisha the Prophet. You and I ought to die so full of the Spirit of God, so full of God's power, that if people throw a dead dog or dead rat on us, it will come to life! My brothers and sisters, don't retire ... do NOT retire. Move out in the power of God. People need the gift that God has given YOU. You're just in a prime position to be used of God the older you get. And I want to tell you, “Get your eyes off the ground. Get them up in the sky.” Yes, Elijah (Elisha's mentor) had to continue to look up to God. He had to continue to look to God for a miracle provision in his life … and move in faith and obedience just as much as he did when he went to King Ahab, the leader of the nation. Now what is that miracle of provision you need today? One miracle, my brother ... one miracle, my sister, will take care of every problem you have. Just one breath from God will heal that problem in your life today. God loves you so much today. Get your eyes off the ground. Increase your vision. Move out in a NEW dimension of faith, loose God's power today by your prophetic decree, using God's Word. No more tears. No more complacency. Move out. Be a servant … let God's power touch you. Look up into the sky. MUSIC Do you remember what happened to Elijah after he spoke the prophetic decree to King Ahab, the wicked leader of the country? God told Elijah to go hide himself. Now, it took as much faith for Elijah to hide himself as it did for him to go make a prophetic decree to the leader of the nation. It all involved obedience. Faith leads to obedience. Faith is taking the step you know God wants you to take. Faith is the opposite of fear. The next time fear knocks at the door of your heart, let faith answer it. Remember what the Bible says? That you've received “a Spirit of a sound mind, and of love, and of power.” (2 Timothy 1:7) You've received a Spirit NOT of fear. Resist fear. Just speak to it and say, "I won't take you. I refuse you. God says I've received not a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Fear knocked at the door … faith answered … and no one was there. What is that need in your life right now? God will meet it, if you'll obey. You just look up today, just look to Jesus. He never fails you, my friend. Elijah had just confessed with his mouth, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, according to my word. And then God told his prophet, "Get out of here, Elijah. Go towards the east and hide yourself by the brook Cherith before Jordan." But then, God told Elijah something a little heavier. Then God said, "You will drink of the brook, Elijah, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there." You know there's a great difference―not only geographically, but spiritually―between the words “there” and “here.” In another place in the Bible, God spoke to his prophet Elijah when he was in the mouth of a cave ... and said, "What are you doing here?" Elijah was not where God wanted him. There is a BIG difference in the words “there” and “here.” Where are YOU in relation to God's will today, my friend? Just cry out to Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) and ask Him for direction. That will be the anointing that breaks the yoke in your life. “Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” – Psalm 50:15 You see, there's not only a spiritual place of blessing in your life, but there's also a geographic place of blessing. That is, you may have the spiritual office as an evangelist or a pastor, or you may be a Christian businessman who smuggles Bibles into countries. You may be a pilot for Christ. You may be a businesswoman who's a greatly anointed moneymaker and generates great finances for the God's work. However, you may have this spiritual office and still be robbing yourself out of a greater anointing and blessing of God by not being in the geographic place of blessing. For example, you may be a street preacher. You may be preaching in Philadelphia on the streets. That's your spiritual office as an open-air preacher. However, my friend, God may want you in Seattle. And if you're not in a place God wants you―even though God will still use the word of God you're preaching―the blessing of God will not be as great in your life. God has a geographical place of blessing for you, as well as a spiritual place of blessing. And if you'll find that place, the blessing and the anointing of God will be more greatly pronounced in your life. God has the apartment, the house, the real estate for you. He knows the perfect one and―just as in marriage―you wouldn't want to take second best … so don't do it in your ministry or in your work for the LORD. _________________________ IMPORTANT The closer we progress into the End Times, it is vitally important that you make sure you are in the geographical and/or geopolitical place God has assigned you!_________________________ Yes, Elijah could have laughed at God. He could have said, "God, you're there?" But Elijah walked with God long enough to know that God always has a reason for what he asks his people to do. Elijah knew that ravens are the stingiest species of birds on earth. They'll even steal from their young ones. Elijah could have said, “God, this is the dumbest thing you've ever asked me to do: let ravens feed me." But here again, Elijah moved in obedience. He knew there was a reason. My friend, it may not always be clear to you WHY God asks you to do some things. But the “reason” is different than the “why.” So if you're living in the will of God―if you're walking in the light of His Word―God will lead you and direct you. Stay in His Word. Live holy like Elijah did. Then you can follow the desires of your heart which God gives you. “Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.” – Psalm 37:3-4 Elijah had peace, whether it was at the palace of the King uttering a prophetic decree―or at the brook―for he knew God always provided. God provided the prophetic message, He provided the food, He provided the clothing, He provided everything in Elijah's life. Yes, Elijah had a super ministry. Elijah was an open-air prophet―a powerful man of God―and Elijah was a person like YOU. And the Bible says, "The ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening." (1 Kings 17:6) Will you let God provide for every detail of your life today―the small things as well as the big things? Will you open up and let the God of Elijah bless you in abundance today? You obey God … and God will provide your every need. He'll do it in abundance, my friend. He's never failed me yet … and He never will. MUSIC Remember, Jesus knows YOU. Let Him lead you. He cares for every detail of your life. MUSIC Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.
