So You Think You Missed God?
Dust To Deity
Episode #25: So You Think You Missed God? 1. How to Get Back on Track Acknowledge your sin, and repent. (1 John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us.”) Repentance isn’t about shame—it’s about realigning with God’s will. Don’t be drastic. Avoid making radical decisions out of fear or guilt. Example: Don’t quit your job, leave your family, and move to the mountains for six months. Family is first. (1 Timothy 5:8 – “If anyone does not provide for his family, he has denied the faith.”) Your first ministry is your home—God will not...

Jesus and the Blind Man – Understanding God's Character
Dust To Deity
Episode #23: Jesus and the Blind Man – Understanding God's Character 1. Interpreting the Word Through the Spirit We must look at the Word through the eyes of the Spirit, not just the natural mind. Many people misinterpret scripture by looking at it from a carnal or religious perspective. Jesus came to reveal the true nature of the Father (John 14:9). 2. The Blind Man’s Condition Was Not a Result of Sin John 9:1-3 – “Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned." The disciples assumed all suffering was...

You and Eternity
Dust To Deity
Episode #22: You and Eternity The Eternal Reality of Christ’s Lordship 1. The Contrast Between Eternity with Christ and Without Him If Jesus is your Lord, this world is the worst it will ever be for you. If Jesus is not your Lord, this world is the best it will ever be for you. For believers, the pain and suffering of this world will end in eternity with Christ (Revelation 21:4). For those who reject Christ, this world is the closest to heaven they will ever experience. 2. The Restraining Power of the Holy Spirit – 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 “Now you know...

Strongholds – Part 2
Dust To Deity
Episode #21: Strongholds – Part 2 1. Entering into the Presence of the Lord Daily We must enter into the Lord’s presence on a daily basis. A relationship with God requires consistency and intentionality. Psalm 91:1 – “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” The five-fold ministers (Ephesians 4:11-12) are responsible for equipping the saints. Their job is not to do all the ministry, but to teach others how to do the work of the Kingdom. To be productive in the Kingdom, you need a relationship with the King. You cannot...

Common Strongholds: Lustful thoughts Insecurities Poverty mentality Addictions (alcohol, drugs, etc.) Unhealthy attachment to money (whether rich or poor) 2. How Strongholds Take Root – The Power of Thoughts Every stronghold begins with a thought. Every sin starts in the mind. James 1:14-15 – “Each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived,...

Guest David Kandole – Walking in Faith
Dust To Deity
Episode #19: Dave Kandole – Walking in Faith 1. Faith is Not an Object – It is a Relationship Faith is not something you "use" or "hold onto"—it is a byproduct of knowing God. Faith is about walking with God, not just believing for things. Many people treat faith as a tool to "get things" from God rather than a way to walk in relationship with Him. 2. Elisha’s Relationship with God – Faith in Action Elisha operated in faith because of his deep connection with God. He did not ask God to do things—he simply commanded things to happen. Examples from Elisha’s life: 2 Kings...
info_outlineEpisode #3: Living Pure Before God
1. What Does It Mean to Live Pure Before God?
- Purity isn’t just about avoiding sin; it’s about pursuing holiness (Matthew 5:8).
- It involves both our actions and our hearts—not just what we do but why we do it (Psalm 51:10).
- Living pure means aligning our lives with God’s truth, not just outwardly but inwardly.
2. The Danger of Works Without Heart
- Many people believe that good works alone make them righteous.
- However, works without relationship with God are empty (Isaiah 64:6, Ephesians 2:8-9).
- Jesus warned that not everyone who calls Him ‘Lord’ truly knows Him (Matthew 7:21-23).
3. Doing Things Without Thinking
- Often, people follow religious routines without real understanding.
- Blind obedience to tradition or habit can lead to a shallow faith (Mark 7:6-7).
- God wants us to be intentional in our faith—actively seeking Him, not just going through the motions.
4. Many Will Come—But Few Will Be Known
- Jesus said, “Many will come in My name” (Matthew 24:5) but warned that not all truly follow Him.
- There will be those who think they are serving God but are actually self-deceived.
- True faith is about knowing Jesus personally, not just doing things for Him.
5. The Importance of Thinking About What We Do
- Every action we take has spiritual significance (Colossians 3:17).
- We should ask ourselves:
- Does this honor God?
- Am I doing this out of love or obligation?
- Does this bring me closer to Christ?
6. Worshiping Out of Love, Not Obligation
- Worship isn’t just about songs—it’s about our lives (Romans 12:1).
- True worship flows from love for God, not fear or duty (John 4:23-24).
- When we love God deeply, our actions become an offering, not a burden.
