The Word (of God) is akin to the water or snow that falls on the earth and when it gets mixed with the earth (the faith of man), eventually it brings forth the fruit that the Word declared from heaven intended. The Word, with the cooperation and willing submission of man, is to execute the Lord's will (His pleasure), show the Lord's ways (His manner of life), and manifest God's works in the earth. The Man Jesus Christ epitomized that for us all.Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

One of the most important things for young men of God to find out, as early as possible, is their responsibility in this life that they have been given. When it’s all been said, and it’s all been done, and the race is run, we all will be held accountable for what we have done with the life our God has graciously and mercifully given to us.  We live in an age and culture (America) where “rights” are exalted… "I have the right to speak what I want, the right to bear arms, the right to our religious exercise, the right to play all kinds of music, eat whatever I want" and so on and so forth. However, the word of God speaks contrary to that in that our “responsibilities” in this life supersede our “rights” to do as we please or personally see fit. From its very inception, family (marriage) has been created in God, by God, for God and the establishment of His purposes and the fulfillment of His Word in the earth. Since every man has a calling, they must come to know their calling and find a woman whose heart complements that calling of responsibility in order to help fulfill it.Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

In this lesson, we connect the dots in the gospel of John to discern the prophetic emphasis of the gift of God, the Living Water, the promise of the Father, the Holy Spirit given to those that believe in Him. Jesus confronts and deals with our sin first, so repentance is required from us. We also discuss the spiritual meaning and significance of eating His flesh and drinking His blood in order to prepare hearts to receive His Spirit. When we do receive His Spirit, we will begin to learn what to say and what to do in this life as we yield to His Spirit, living life just as Jesus did in the days of His flesh.Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

Whether we are young or old, we are all infected with this alien presence… it’s evil, and it’s not the devil. It’s sin. It’s infected all our conscious and visible aspects, body and mind. We are wholly not worthy! There is nothing in us that is valuable, we are corrupt, within ourselves there is this constant bickering, fighting, disagreement, second-guessing, uncertainty, and insecurity. Day by day, we are getting older, and nearer to death. Bishop, elder, Dr., teacher, nurse, marketer, stay-at-home mom… we are all unworthy, damaged goods. Yet the paradox remains… we are still CHOSEN by Him who is WORTHY! YOU ARE NOT A MISTAKE and God’s choosing of you is NOT A MISTAKE!He doesn’t choose us because of our inherent value. He chooses us because His purpose and will supersede our unworthiness. He chooses us because he knows by His foreknowledge that we are going to respond to His calling. Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

This episode is an elaborate, more in-depth study of the word inheritance or inherit and how it is tied to the word "possession". We take a look at how it applies to the Levites of the Old Covenant and the Church in the New Covenant. We also consider how it applies to God and His own inheritance, and how it applies to the holy relationship of marriage.Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

Essential to being a wise man is teachability, correctability and humility. He is a life-long learner. A lone ranger he is not, because he understands and is humble enough to recognize that he does not know everything… he doesn’t see everything… he doesn’t hear everything… he doesn’t discern everything. Another distinguishing characteristic of his is that he has the reigns of his tongue and exhibits self-control. He accepts that wisdom is the principal thing and when he hears the Word, he does it.Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

In this last episode of 2022, we take a brief look, for new listeners, at all the podcasts that were released this year, giving a short synopsis of a certain few that were notable to us. We also count down the top 10 podcasts downloaded from 2022 and notable mentions, including devices used and locations worldwide that have listened to Our Father's Heart. My wife and I share some things the Lord has been teaching us this past year and we conclude with what we should be doing as Christians as the world around us continues to lie to us at every turn.Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

This biblical lesson is on the principle of submission. Regardless of what we see in our experience, God is absolutely sovereign. Sometimes, it is difficult to swallow some scriptures on subjecting ourselves to governing authorities and so we address some of the following questions like: How do we conduct ourselves in relation to governing authorities?  How is the principle applied, even when those we are submitting ourselves to are evil and wicked?  What are the limiting principles, if any, to this principle? We analyze how submitting ourselves to one another is applied in varying relationships of our life for the glory of God, borne not solely out of a fear of God, but more so out of our love for God.Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

This particular teaching comes from the well-known book of Ruth. However, in my humble opinion, the focus is really on Naomi, the mother-in-law of Ruth, and the ramifications of the decision Ruth made to remain with Naomi. Nevertheless, the poignant story of these two women is one of the few accounts of the scriptures that focuses on women and how the Lord Sees (El Roi) their bitter plight in life and shows Himself mighty and faithful to them when they show themselves faithful to Him and each other.Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

We close out our series addressing how the removal God from our lives continues to lead to increasing numbers of mental health issues. Also, rather than seeing influence of the Church on the world, we are now seeing a greater degree of influence of the world on the Church because the world and many saints are succumbing to the seductress, the immoral woman who tempts all the world to sin. This harlot is leading countless souls to the deep pit of hell. We look the examples of Samson, Joseph, and Lot on how to deal with this seductress, but we can't ignore and neglect that we are fallen and have the inherent propensity to sin.Yet above all this, there is still hope, forgiveness, and blessing that is reserved for the man or woman who will repent and receive the sacrifice of Jesus as the offering for our sin. The person that will cry out to Him in humility for mercy and forgiveness, acknowledging his own sin and resting in His tender mercies and lovingkindness. This is for the man who will after all this, will present himself, his own members, as slave of righteousness for holiness from now on, ever after.Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

We start to close out this series with the last 3 topics here. Insecurities come from comparisons, yet Wisdom says to us, "For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise." Social media, for young people, can amplify our insecurities because of our immaturity. Peer pressure only adds to this burden. We also touch upon "manifesting" and its connection to new age, occult, and metaphysics that is outside of dependency on God, yet it tries to mix biblical principles with repeated actions on your part until you get what you want and it manifests. Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

As we continue talking about these topics, we come to the subject of smoking and drinking. For the Christian, we must keep in mind the following truth... our lives are not our own. We have been bought with a price we can never repay and our only reasonable service is to present ourselves daily to the Lord as a holy and acceptable living sacrifice.The overarching principle of all these topics is the following scripture:Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?  If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

This episode starts off by briefly recapping where we have come from thus far in this series, but before we get back to our series and share our conversation on divorce, I wanted to take the liberty of using the first part of this episode to share with you some interesting information that I came across lately that I feel was important to share about marriage and family. I also wanted to share my personal experience of being raised up in a divorced family. Although, I have shared my testimony in previous episodes, there are some deeper details here that I have not shared in previous testimonies. I hope that you who are listening will come to appreciate how much the Father loves you and will bring restoration to you if you will surrender your hearts to Him. Our conversation will touch upon divorce never being God's intention, but that of man's, due to his own hardness of heart. In the beginning it was not so (Matt 16:7,8). My wife will also share about the divorce she suffered and some of her experience regarding that before marrying me.Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

In this episode, we continue the conversation on relationships. We discuss the "dating of the world" today and how it contrasts with the complete lack of dating found in the scriptures. Since this is true, we discuss what biblical principles are found in the Word concerning holy relationships and explain how to properly apply them to our relationships, especially with respect to finding our future spouse. We also contrast the idea of dating with courtship and how when appropriately carried out, it can lead to a successful marriage and family, and the blessing & fulfillment that comes along with it when we obey God's Word and aptly apply His principles to our lives.Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

In this episode, we address the sacred golden cow of our youth - music. As our special guests share their differing experiences and upbringings, giving testimony of what the Lord has shown them over the years, we look at the persuasiveness of music in our society. We also delve into scriptures that illuminate why music is so powerfully influential and why we need to be very watchful and alert in regard to what we are allowing to be seeded into our spirits by what we hear. Also, we share why we each of us have decided on listening or not listening to certain kinds of music and why.Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.  (Pro 4:23)We pray that you will also find wisdom in our exchanges on how to apply the principles of God to our present-day affairs.

Every member in the body must recognize the value, the gifts, the anointing of God in other members of the body. We must find ways to edify one another so that we can all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, mature in Him.Growth in the body does not happen exclusively and altogether independently of the surrounding parts of the body. Every aspect of the body is interdependent and grows in conjunction with one another. No member of the body is higher or more important than another. Every body member fulfills the purpose and capabilities in which they were made (there calling), working harmoniously with one another that the whole body would grow, be edified and blessed.  The highest calling of each member of the body is not to become an apostle, or prophet, or evangelist, or pastor, or teacher, or deacon, or bishop, or a person functioning with helps, or administrations, or miracles, or gifts of healings, or varieties of tongues… it is solely to be a son of God, an express representation of Christ, through His body on earth and in eternity.Please visit Our Father's Heart for more information and if you would like to support our efforts you can do so through Paypal, Cash App ($jbenjesus), or Venmo (@jbenjesus). Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

The study is focused on the book of Galatians and what it teaches us regarding the works of the law vs walking in the Spirit. We are not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified (Gal 2:16). The law does not supersede the promise, the Spirit of God.Please visit Our Father's Heart for more information and if you would like to support our efforts you can do so through Paypal, Cash App ($jbenjesus), or Venmo (@jbenjesus). Support the show Website: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845
