Being a disciple of Jesus Christ means we need to swim upstream. We don't swim with the world, but against the world. While we live in a 21st century world, we are citizens of a greater kingdom and higher authority. it is that kingdom that is the answer for mankind and mankind's ills. God has given us kingdom authority, but this power is not motivated by domination, intimidation, or control. It is not self-centered and tyrannical. This kingdom authority is benevolent and it's greatest expression is love, mercy, and grace. How do we, in a practical way, bring that kind of power and authority into the world? That is what today's podcast is all about. ************************************** Listen to this previous podcast on Kingdom Authority: 4 Ways to Walk in Kingdom Authority ************************************** 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

Noah built an ark to save his family at a time when wickedness of human beings was extreme. The Bible says every imagination of their thought was only evil continually. They had become so corrupted and filled with wickedness that every waking moment was filled with thoughts of wickedness. Jesus spoke of that time and said that in the last days it would be as in the day of Noah. We are rapidly approaching that time, and we must build an ark for our family, not to isolate our family, but to insulate our family. "I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one." John 17:15 Isolation will not help your family stand in the fear of the Lord against a corrupt culture. We want to build an ark with the right materials to insulate not only this generation, but also future generations. "Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments" Deuteronomy 7:9 In today's podcast, I am sharing with you how to raise up a generation that fears the Lord in this corrupt culture, and how we can build a strong foundation of the fear of the Lord for many generations. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

Your present and present circumstances do not have to determine your future and your identity. Joseph was in prison under false charges. That could have easily become his future and his identity, but he refused to let that happen. Instead, he became 2nd only to Pharaoh in Egypt. It's a choice you make to stand up and stand alone in living a whole new life in Jesus Christ by a new identity that empowers you to stand against the cultural norms and stand for righteousness and holiness. We can do this because all things are become new! Learning to live in the power of "others may I cannot" will require you to keep a humble, gracious, loving spirit so that you're not being critical and judgmental. It's also important that in this generation there is remnant that will rise up and say, I will not let culture and peer pressure to determine what I do." This is what I talk about in today's podcast. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

God promised the Israelites that if they would meditate on His law day and night, they would prosper and have good success. God was going to lead them into a land inhabited by their enemies; but He would prove that He was the one and only God by driving their enemies out before their eyes. God has promised you a land, too. But we live in a culture saturated by philosophies that are at war with God's Word. Choosing to live obedient to every word of God sets us at odds not only with our unbelieving friends, but with progressive Christianity. The question is: will we hesitate to step out in faith to possess the land, like the Israelites did, or will we be willing to step out in obedience to God? That is what I'm sharing in today's podcast. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

There are a lot of people who have very strong beliefs, but it's not convenient to live by that belief, they will adjust it according to the situation or the people that they are around. They are called preferences: strongly held beliefs that may adjust when the situation requires it. This is okay when it comes to what you eat for dinner: You may prefer a steak dinner, but fast-food is more convenient right now. But when it comes to building a family we cannot afford to raise our children according to preferences. If we raise our children with strongly held beliefs that adjust when circumstances dictate it, we are building our family with the wrong kind of framework and it will not stand when faced with heavy pressure and storms. Instead we must build our family on convictions: core values that a person is willing to give their life before violating. And that is what I'm sharing about in today's podcast. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

Daniel was able to advance and see God's blessing in his life, even in a pagan culture because he had an upper room and went to that room three times a day. His upper room relationship with God made it possible for God to work on his behalf. Even in the fact of persecution and rejection, he refused to pull back from his upper room; and because of that he continued to see great blessing. We may be wondering why God isn't moving or intervening on our behalf, and sometimes it's because we have the door to our upper room closed. But like Daniel we're in a spiritual war. There are way too many Christians today wore out with the stuff of life, busy with their work and play and with their schedule, running their kids from one sport to another, thinking that sports will keep their children out of drugs and crime, not realizing that it's not sports that will keep them out of world, it is a strong spiritual walk with Almighty God that will keep them out of the world. So many have closed their eyes to what's really happening. We are in a war of spiritual strongholds, ideology, reasoning and philosophies and values. It's a war of world view. How do we fight that war? That is what I am talking about in today's podcast. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

If we are going to build an ark of safety for the family, we need to hold the principles of God's Word and live by them. It needs to be able to withstand the heavy seas of life and the storms that are certainly going to come against the family. We need to build it of substance to be able to withstand the most severe storms that life can throw at it. And there's only one product to build it from. If you're concerned about what we're seeing in our culture today: The ever-increasing wokeism in our society, the flood of immorality and perversion, the heavy push for indoctrination and submission to political correctness and tolerance, then you need to listen to today's podcast. In this mini-series, I share with you how we can build a lasting protection for our family, just as Noah built a lasting protection for his wife and sons and their families.

Being a disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ is all about relationship. He wants fellowship with you. He has prepared the way and made it possible to fellowship with you. Being a disciple of Jesus is not about religion. In too many churches today - even Pentecostal circles - its become about religion. We go to church, we sing some songs, we share some scripture, and we go home. We rarely read the Bible, spend time praying, and authentically fellowship with Jesus through the week. We only do this on Sunday morning because it's become all about religion. But a disciple of Jesus Christ walks in relationship with Jesus because it's all about relationship! Jesus wants relationship with you. And this is what I'm talking about in today's podcast: how you can begin having an authentic relationship with Jesus, not just religion. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

During the time of Noah, every imagination of men's hearts was only evil continually. Do you ever wonder if there are a lot of people like that today? I don't get what Hollywood is putting out in their entertainment today. I can't imagine thinking on that level of evil and being able to portray it. What are they thinking? Why do we feel like we need to create children's cartoons with that kind of language and debauchery? Why do we need to have cartoons with bodily noises? Because we're reaching the condition as it was in the times of Noah. In Noah's time, they were gorging themselves with their appetites - every appetite they could imagine. Homosexual and lesbian relationships were normal. But they took it a step further, and it brought God's judgement: Mankind began seeking relationships with the demonic. What does this mean for us today, especially as parents who seek to raise up godly children who will go on to raise up their own godly children? We must build an ark for our family, and that is what I share with you in today's podcast: How to raise up an ark of protection for your family in this evil generation that is saturated with immorality, perversion, and debauchery. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

It says in Romans 8:11, "But if that same Spirit..." When you ask Jesus to forgive you of your sin and come live in your heart and life, Jesus puts the holy Spirit in you. The Scripture says it is the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit that then makes you a whole new creation. You receive a whole new identity, free from a life of sin and free to live in newness of life in Jesus Christ. This is the foundation of the concept that releases you to live as a whole new creation, living a victorious Christian life. Are you living a life of victory over sin? Victorious Christian living is directly connected to how we view our identity in Christ and this is what I share about in today's podcast. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

Grace is not only something that we receive abundantly from God, but Scripture illustrates for us how we are to give that grace to others with equal generosity. But not only does grace flow from God through us to others, but then it flows back to God in thanksgiving; and your thankfulness is grace back to God. It is generosity - we're generous to others because God has been so generous to us. But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.” Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God. 1 Corinthians 6:6-11 - Emphasis Mine God wants to multiply blessings in your life! There are 4 ways you can begin experiencing that right now; and that is what I'm sharing with you on my podcast today. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

Every person experiences temptation. Scripture tells us that there is no one righteous and that all have sinned. But God did an amazing thing, He came to earth in human form.

As Jesus disciples, we not only pattern our life after Him, but we also do the same works He did because God wants disciples to make a difference in this world. Have you noticed that when Jesus chose His disciples, He didn't go to the Sanhedrin? He didn't choose His disciples among the Pharisees or the Sadducees? This was one of the reasons they were so angry with Him. He had gathered around Himself ordinary people and sent them out with the power to do what He did. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

If we want to live the blessed life, we must learn to live God's dream God's way. Many men of God throughout Scripture had dreams. Dreams given to them by God. God has a dream for your life, too; but the enemy is always trying to steal it. Jesus said, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10 He wants you to fulfill that dream. But the only way you will fulfill God's dream for you is to do it God's way, not our way. When we try to fulfill God's dream our own way, we will not live the blessed life. And that's what I share in today's podcast. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

Last week we looked at John 14:12: "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." He did not say "The apostles will do the works that I do" or "The evangelist will do the works that I do" or even "The pastors will do the works that I do". He said, "He who believes in Me...." Walking in this level of signs and wonders isn't so that we can get goosebumps and feel really good. It's so that we can be a blessing to others. God wants us both be blessed and to be a blessing, because the more we live the blessed life, the more we can be a blessing to those around us. The question is: Are you living the blessed life?

There is a verse in the New Testament that is very challenging for us today. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." John 14:12 Jesus is giving to us a deep, theological principle about His disciples, those who believe in Him. He is saying is that those who truly believe in Him should be doing the same works He did, and even greater works than He did. This verse should lead us to ask ourselves, "If I believe in Jesus, am I doing the same works Jesus did and greater works than He did?" We have to remember that Jesus wasn't talking to theologians and religious leaders of His day, He was talking to fishermen, tax collectors, housewives, and other ordinary people like you and me. So, how do we begin living in this new anointing so that we can go out and do the works Jesus did? That is what I'm talking about in today's podcast. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

Jesus said, "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." John 16:33 God wants to take those painful experiences and make them stepping stones to the blessed life and victorious living. We live in a world where there is great brokenness, and the powers of darkness like to seize these moments. They do this to convince you that you are a victim in order to build a stronghold in you of victimization so that you live out of that identity. If the enemy succeeds in building a stronghold in your thinking, it will become a gateway to build more strongholds to torment you in your body, mind, emotions, and spirit. We all experience painful experiences in life because we live in a fallen world; and the enemy wants to use those painful experiences to steal, kill and destroy. The key to consistently being victorious in painful moments has to do with learning to walk with Holy Spirit and learning to fellowship with Holy Spirit in a deep personal way. In today's podcast I share with you how fellowship with the Holy Spirit moves us from victimization to victory. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

Jesus said, "Truly, truly I say unto you unless a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of heaven." Jesus called it being born again. Titus called it the washing and renewing of the Holy Spirit that makes us a whole new creation. Salvation gives us a whole new life source so that we can begin living all things new. But if we're going to go forward in that and consistently live all things new as a disciple of Jesus Christ, there are things that Scripture clearly says need to happen in our lives. It doesn't just happen all on it's own. We have to cooperate with the work of God in our life so that we are consistently moving forward. It's not about how fast you move forward, its how consistently you move forward. And that is what today's podcast is all about: what we need to do to consistently move forward and live all things new in 2022. ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.

“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you." John 14:15-20 Do we shut up the kingdom of God to the general population? Jesus never did that. He rebuked the religious rulers, but welcomed in the most ordinary people and those who the religious rulers thought were the worst of sinners. When we protest by holding up our Christian signs, the majority of people don't get it. They don't know what we're talking about. They think we're being religious snobs and hypocrites, and that we're shutting up the kingdom of God to them and that we hate sinners. Do we shut up the kingdom of God to the general population?

The majority of the church loves sinners and recognizes that but for the grace of God they're lost! ************************************* 📕 Grab my newest book Willing: Doing Whatever It Takes: https://amzn.to/32jQEcH 📖 Get my FREE READ THE BIBLE CHALLENGE here: http://bit.ly/2CnmWEa 👨🏫 Find out more about LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE: http://bit.ly/2COrAvR 📲 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fdeanh/ Dean has been a pastor for over 40 years, ministering in 48 of the 50 states and across Canada and Europe; and over the years.
