This episode continues the podcast series focusing on how those that hate you conspire to get rid of you, but nevertheless, you are still in the will of God! In your struggle you will be tempted by Satan as an attack on your integrity and trust in God!  Within your struggle, you will be tempted not once, not twice, but many times, so make sure when he arrives there's nothing in you to be tempted!

James 1:12 says, blessed is the man that endureth temptation! You will be tested in your struggle, remain faithful, trust more in God than your circumstance. The evidence of God's presence should be visible in your struggle for them to be blessed and for you to reach your destination.

This part one episode focuses on the initiation of separation as a part of your struggle. During the initiation of separation you're hated, left alone, talked about, and left to die in the depth of your struggle! God knows how it hurts, but He has a plan for the pain in your struggle, He. knows what's at the end of your struggle! 

Remain steadfast, and faithful trusting God to see you through, for your struggle is designed for. someone else to be blessed, it's also designed for the observers and haters lives to change! 

Remember and say to yourself during the hard days and nights, my struggle is designed for their blessing and the path toward my destiny!

One day all of us are going to die! No one should be surprised by that unmitigated truth. What happens after we die is the most important question every person should be concerned with! 

Where you go after you die depends on how you lived! 

To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord, only if you died in Christ. 

There are 3 kinds of death:

1. Physical

2. Spiritual

3. Eternal

If you die outside of Christ you will experience them all! Death is the passage from the temporal physical to the eternal! Don't miss heaven.

This episode teaches who you really are! You're not what you see in the mirror, you're a 3 part being made up of spirit, soul and body! 

Ever felt like something was missing, no matter what you did who you did it with, that feeling of something’s missing was yet there? There was a void and you tried to fill it with money, relationships, entertainment, drinking, drugging, etc…yet the emptiness or void remained???

That emptiness is not in your body, nor your soul it’s in your spirit! 

1 Cor. 6:19 reads: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 

Imagine your body as a temple - the outer court is your body, it encloses everything inside the tabernacle/temple all can see it.

Inner court is your soul – the seat of your conscious, where our thoughts, feelings, and emotions and will resides. It’s the command center of your personality!

Now, your spirit  the holy of holies - the deepest place within you where only God can enter and commune with you! Your spirit was designed as the place for you and God to connect! 

Remember the scriptures say, they that worship Him must worship Him in spirt and in truth!!!

Your Body – gives you visual physical identity in the world.

Your soul – makes you unique from every person in the world, it’s what makes you, you! It’s the part of you that thinks, decides, laughs, dreams, creates and feels. 

Your spirit -  Gives you identity in God’s world, it’s the part of you that can hear His voice in a whisper, commune with Him and feel His presence! 

This episode focuses on the controversy of tithing 10 percent! Additionally, it gives reasonable, biblical and practical instruction on how to give, why to give and when to give! 

No one should feel pressure to give a tithe and certainly no one should be taught God will curse them because of not giving or paying a tithe and that they are robbing God! Paul said we are to give give every man as he purpose in his heart so let him give, for God loves a cheerful giver!!!

The Holy Spirit is not the baby brother of Jesus, He is God. The Holy Spirit is not some entity or a one off spirit sitting in the corner waiting on us, He IS GOD! He was there in the beginning and active during creation and is here now active in your life if you allow Him. 

The Holy Spirit is not an it, not a something, not a second mind, and not a second thought, but He is God! Beloved the Holy Spirit is so precious, He’s so loving and He’s so intimate, that gentle nudge that we get we very morning that wakes us up, it’s not a something, it’s not an it, it’s not a second mind, it’s not a second thought it is the Spirit of GOD!! He deserves the same respect we give to God the Father and God the Son, He IS GOD, The Holy Spirit!!!

This episode focuses on you growing where God scattered you! 

For just like the seeds in an apple, it has within itself seeds to produce the same, so do you! Wherever you landed, no matter the weather conditions, conditions of people's heart, or the conditions of people's thoughts and actions against you, God gathered you and scattered you there to light up the place with SONlight, to beautify the location with His word, and to give life to those by His Word! 

Let the soaking of negative people, persecutions, pain and uncomfortability be the fertilizer that causes you to grow. Remember within every seed is the likeness of the same, and as long as the earth remains, there will be seedtime and harvest!

This episode continues the encouragement of the believer by using Paul and Silas' suffering as an example for us to suffer right! 

In Jn. 16:1-4 Jesus said, These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 
 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them.

Beloved, I tell you these things to remind you so you can’t be surprised and not offended. Also, I say this to you so you can suffer right, honor God in your suffering and struggle, in your pain, in your disappointment, for in the mess of your suffering is the message of overcoming and hope for others!

This episode focuses on suffering the right way! So often we are ready to give up, quit, or question ourselves and God during the season of suffering! When we're in the suffering season, we must lean heavily on God to get us through! Oftentimes, it's not about you, your suffering is for God's glory and your story! To suffer right, we have to walk in the Spirit so you cannot fulfill the lusts of the flesh! 

So, while you’re struggling in your suffering, be encouraged! Don’t let your flesh dictate what decision you should make, because that’s an easy decision! Our flesh wants what it wants, and if you succumb to your flesh that’s immature Christianity! The bible says, if you faint in the day of adversity, your faith was small! 

Remember, it pleased the Lord the bruise His son and put Him to grief, beloved it also pleases God for you to suffer, so suffer right!

This episode focuses on what a biblical disciple’s responsibility is when a brother or sister is overtaken in a fault. 

Many professed Christians who say they love God, yet treat brothers and sisters in the Lord in an ungodly way. I have found that many would rather keep their mistakes and issues between them and God because of mistrust in the ranks of Christianity. The moment your issue/mistake is shared, it is spread like grass seed and grows like a weed on a barren field! There it is you’re exposed your most secret mistake, your most regrettable act is quickly shared, all by the one or ones who are commanded to love you!

 The lesson in this episode is designed to teach us how to restore each other in meekness, not how to destroy each other in our weakness.

This episode focuses on the need for a Disciplemaker by taking us back to the beginning and into the Garden of Eden. Additionally this episode reveals the first prophetic utterance of Christ 's arrival, death, burial and resurrection. 

All who are saved have been given a mandate and the authority from Christ who rose with all power, to go ye therefore to make disciples and while we're going we have the power in His authority to tread on serpents and scorpions for the accomplishment of the mission! 

In this power we become Disciplemakers!!!!

Now, go ye therefore and make disciples!

This episode focuses on restoration and love from Jesus to us even when we deny Him or choose to disobey Him! His unwavering love yet remains as His arms are always open to receive us and grant forgiveness to us. 

This episode also, proves that no matter what you've done or how far you've fallen He still chose you!!! The bottomline is this, "Do You Love Him?" 

If you love Him, feed His sheep, become a Disciplemaker!!!

"Go ye therefore and make disciples everywhere you go, in Jesus' name!"

D2D’s Mission Statement: IS To make every supporter, and listener a Disciplemaker so we together can fulfill “The Great Commission!” 

Everyone in a sense makes a disciple or follower. Friends and family members become followers if you’re interesting and do fun things they can mimic. These people enjoy being around you and look forward to the next adventure with you! In fact, they become recruiters to your cause by inviting and introducing their friends to you!

However, to be a biblical Disciplemaker one must undergo a metamorphosis a change! That change is being born again, that is to give your life to Christ as Lord and savior!
