🥁 SPIRITUAL WARFARE - Occupy Until I Come – Bro. David Bigelow

🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD - ‭‭‭‭Luke‬ ‭19‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.” SUMMARY This conversation focuses on the theme of spiritual warfare and the importance of occupying until the Lord comes. The speakers discuss the necessity of spiritual growth, overcoming personal giants, and the significance of faith in the face of grief and challenges. They emphasize the need for focus and intentionality in pursuing spiritual goals and the importance of community support in this journey. The discussion culminates in a call to action for listeners to engage actively in their spiritual lives and help others along the way. TAKEAWAYS We are called to occupy until the Lord returns. Overcoming personal giants is a necessary part of our journey. Taking land in our lives requires a focused approach. Grief is a natural part of spiritual warfare. We must yield to a mindset of faith in difficult times. Every battle we face is an opportunity for growth. We need to fight with purpose and clarity. The journey of faith involves both victories and challenges. Community support is vital in our spiritual walk. ⚔️God will give us a workout with enemies to test us, to keep us sharp, and to keep us growing in Him. There will be opposition and enemies to God's work, yet God has already defeated them, but we have to live and walk it out. So, let's always remember that we can do all things through Jesus Christ Who gives us the strength, weapons, success, and victory in this fight for souls and salvation.

🛣️ TRUTH - The Road Less Traveled - PART 2 – Bro. Philip Laurence Thomas

🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD -‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.” SUMMARY In this conversation, the host and participants explore the theme of truth as a vital aspect of spiritual life, emphasizing the importance of free will, foundational truths, and the necessity of choosing the narrow road of obedience to God. They discuss the parable of the sower, the significance of a right heart, and the examples of biblical figures who exemplified faith and obedience. The conversation culminates in a call to worship in spirit and truth, encouraging listeners to reflect on their spiritual journey and the choices they make in their lives. TAKEAWAYS Life is a gift, and we should appreciate it. We have the privilege of choosing our path in life. Truth is often the road less traveled by many. Free will is a gift that allows us to choose righteousness or sin. Foundational truths in God's kingdom are essential for spiritual growth. Understanding parables helps us grasp spiritual principles. A right heart is crucial for understanding God's truth. Obedience to God's word leads to spiritual rewards. Worshiping in spirit and truth is a lifelong commitment. The truth will set us free from the burdens of life. ⚔️ We must decide for ourselves whether we will take God's narrow road of truth or not. To continually learn, believe, and obey what He has to say or not. It won't always be convenient, but it will always be rewarding. So, let's fall in love with the Truth personified Jesus Christ, and go from faith to faith, and from glory to glory, as we follow God's Truth, the road less traveled.  CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 01:27 The Gift of Free Will 04:17 Foundational Truths for New Life 10:07 Understanding the Parable of the Sower 16:27 The Heart of the Matter 22:21 The Road Less Traveled 28:05 Examples from the Bible 29:34 The Promise and the Consequences of Impatience 33:30 Choosing the Narrow Road of Truth 39:52 The Importance of Gratitude and Acknowledgment 44:38 Living According to God's Truth 50:54 The Struggle for Truth in a Complicated World 59:28 The Path to Freedom through Truth To God even Jesus Christ be the glory forever, amen! 🙌 BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO http://patreon.com/IronSharpenethIronOfCWC [http://patreon.com/IronSharpenethIronOfCWC] ‭‭🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD  - John‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD -‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” SUMMARY This conversation focuses on the importance of finding soul rest in the journey of living for God. The speakers discuss the challenges of life, the need for a relationship with God, and the significance of prioritizing spiritual well-being over worldly pursuits. They share personal testimonies and reflections on how to achieve peace and rest for the soul amidst life's pressures. TAKEAWAYS Soul rest is essential for spiritual well-being. Jesus Christ invites us to find rest in Him. The pursuit of worldly success can lead to stress and anxiety. We need to balance our spiritual and physical lives. True peace comes from a relationship with God. Laboring to enter into His rest is crucial. We must focus on heavenly things to find true peace. ⚔️ Ultimately, our pursuit should be Jesus Christ and that will lead to rest and rewards in this life and the next. So, don't allow arrogance and lust to hook you to be distracted, and cause you to reject or ignore God's rest for our souls through Jesus Christ the LORD!

😇 SEPARATION - Progression Of Holiness – Pastor Michael Zotzman

🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD -‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT “But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.” And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time here as “temporary residents.”” SUMMARY This conversation focuses on the theme of holiness within the Christian faith, emphasizing its importance in personal development and spiritual growth. The speakers discuss the progression of holiness, the influence of thoughts on actions, and practical applications for maintaining holiness in daily life. They highlight the necessity of accountability and the impact of external influences on one's spiritual journey, ultimately encouraging a commitment to living a holy life in alignment with biblical principles. ⚔️ Are you a lover of God's truth? If so, it's time to get on and stay on His highway of holiness. This road is not congested, because most people are traveling on a different road hoping or believing that it will lead to life. But, according to God and Jesus Christ, it is a road to destruction. The road that leads to perdition, death, and hell is wide and anything is allowed on it. But, the road that leads to heaven, everlasting, and immortal life is a narrow road and only God's will is allowed on it. The worldly road is filled with sinful pleasures, but it is also filled with the high price tags of consequence and judgment. While the narrow road is filled with sacrifice and suffering, it is also filled with God's help, blessings, and rewards. So, we hope and pray that you would continually choose the truth - the road less traveled.  TAKEAWAYS Holiness is essential for spiritual growth and connection with God. The influence in our lives shapes our thoughts and actions. Accountability is crucial in maintaining holiness. Thoughts lead to words, and words lead to actions. Holiness is not just about outward appearance but inner transformation. We must actively choose to avoid influences that lead us away from holiness. Living a holy life requires intentional effort and commitment. The progression of holiness involves a continuous journey of self-examination. We should seek to please God above all else in our actions and decisions. Holiness is a reflection of our relationship with God and our commitment to His teachings.

🛣️ TRUTH - The Road Less Traveled - PART 1 – Bro. Philip Laurence Thomas

🗡🛡 GOD'S WORD -‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.”  ⚔️ Are you a lover of God's truth? If so, it's time to get on and stay on His highway of holiness.

Truth can be inconvenient and brings accountability. God is truth, and Jesus Christ is truth personified. To love God is to love His truth. Truth can bring direction, enlightenment, and blessings. The road to heaven is narrow and requires commitment to truth. Living by human reasoning leads to a carnal mindset. Truth will always trump facts in our lives. We must choose to embrace God's truth to experience freedom. The journey of faith is about staying on the road of truth.
