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...

- Timothy 4:2 our conscience can be seared as with a hot iron
- 2 Timothy 2:15 Paul said we are to study to show ourselves approved.
- You can see the Bible naturally or through the Spirit.
- Study the Word not Commentaries.
- Joshua 1:8 the Lord says to meditate on His word day and night.
- Romans 8:6 T o be carnally, or naturally minded is death.
- To be spiritually minded is life and peace
- We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of tongues.
- You are limiting your ability without being filled with the Holy Spirit
- The nine gifts of the spirit are 1 Corinthians 12:1-11
- For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;
- to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
- To another faith by the same Spirit;
- to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
- To another the working of miracles;
- to another prophecy;
- to another discerning of spirits;
- to another divers kinds of tongues;
- to another the interpretation of tongues:
- Water Baptism is your steak in the ground that holds you to the rock of revelation.
- Speaking in tongues is always associated with being filled with the Spirit
- Jesus commanded the disciples not to minister before they received power from on High.
- Being filled with the Spirit is when you receive the power of God.
- You just need to yield yourself to the Holy Spirit and die to self and ask Him to fill you.
- Acts 19 1-7 Paul went to Ephesus, the disciples hadn’t heard of the Holy Spirt yet.
- Paul taught them, baptized them, they were filled with the Spirit, and spoke in tongues.
- 1 Cor. 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
1Co 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
- Neither God or the enemy are deaf
- Romans 8:25-27. We don’t know how to pray, but the Holy Spirit searches out things for us, and prays though us through tongues.
- So, God, (the Holy Spirit), uses our spirit to pray to God (the Father) the perfect prayer, by us yielding our spirit and tongue to Him.
- Romans 8:28 God uses all those things together for our good. He is not using circumstances for our good.
- Re-cap
- Romans 8:3 the law was brought in to help man control the flesh.
- The law failed because the flesh was week
- Man was and is led around by the flesh.
- When you are led by the flesh you cannot please God Rom. 8:8
- When we are filled with the Spirit, we are not to be led by the flesh
- Through the Spirit we destroy the works of the flesh.
