Growing In God Podcast Title: Live by His Strength Web Description: As Christians should we have an expectancy for less strength and less life in our physical bodies as we age?

We need to appropriate what God has made available. Let us wait on the Lord and be renewed by His life. Show Notes: As Christians we believe in the resurrection of Christ and the new life that is ours. But...

Growing In God Podcast Title: The Bread We Know Not Of Web Description: Is it really possible to run without getting tired or to walk without becoming weary? That is not our normal experience, but it is God’s. He is never weary or tired, and He promises to give us His strength if we wait on Him. Christ knew how to do this. The food that sustained Him was in His connection to the Father, and we are connected to the Father through Him. Isn’t it time for us to learn how to draw from Him? Show Notes: Isaiah 40 contains a familiar passage about waiting on the Lord. This...

Growing In God Podcast Title: How Do We Appropriate? Web Description: It is easy for people to have negative emotions. We can become depressed, fearful, or anxious. And those negative emotions have negative effects on our physical bodies. As Christians why should we accept that when we can experience the joy of Christ’s salvation and the fruit of the Spirit producing life in our physical bodies? God has provided everything for us, and we should be continually appropriating more and more of His provision until His life is manifesting in us and through us. Show Notes: What do you...

Growing In God Podcast Web Description: The spiritual battle we face today, as Daniel described, attempts to wear us down. But according to the Word of God, we can hide in a secret place under the shadow of His wing. He has seated us with Him in the heavenly places. Let us live in that place and move from that place in everything we do. This is our strength that the Lord has sent us in this generation to proclaim deliverance for Israel and the gathering of the nations into His Kingdom. Show Notes: The people of Israel have had to live under continual missile attacks....

Growing In God Podcast Title: Pray From Fulfillment Web Description: If someone gives you a plate of delicious food, do you still pray, “God, give me food! Where is the food You promised me?” No, you just take it and say, “Thank you.” Yet even though God has already given us everything, we pray as if we have not received it. We need to change that way of praying. We need to shift our focus from this realm and dwell in the spirit realm where God’s Word is already fulfilled and then pray from that place. Show Notes: When you pray, are you asking as someone who...

Growing In God Podcast Web Description: As the apostle Paul warned, we are in danger when we exchange the truth for a lie. Yet there are many in America who are doing just that. Rejecting reason and obvious facts, they actively promote lies about Israel and even call for its destruction. This is the ultimate foolishness because the forces plotting Israel’s destruction are the same forces plotting America’s destruction. It is time to wake up. Show Notes: Recent events in the United States are extremely concerning. A Jewish couple was gunned down to shouts of “free...

Web Description: In a message to faithful believers in Monterrey, Mexico, Gary shares
with them the answer for Mexico. The answer is the leaven of the Kingdom of Heaven
that was implanted within them. This leaven will grow until it influences all of Mexico.
And it will not stop until it fills the whole earth.
Show Notes: At the Feast of Unleavened Bread, all leaven is removed from the house
and unleavened bread is eaten for seven days. In 1 Corinthians Paul compares this
process to what happens within us. During this feast we are to clean out the old leaven
from ourselves. God wants us to remove all the influences of this world and this age
until we are a new lump of dough that is unleavened.
After the Feast of Unleavened Bread, leaven is again added to the bread. As Yeshua
(Jesus) said, the Kingdom of Heaven is like leaven added to a lump of dough that grows
until the entire lump is leavened. During the days of unleavened bread, we remove the
leaven of this world that is not part of the Kingdom of God until we become a new lump
of dough. But that is not where we stop. Then the Kingdom of Heaven itself is imparted
into our hearts and minds. Like leaven, it grows until we are completely filled with His
Kingdom.
You could look at your circumstances and say, “I don’t see it working.” You cannot
necessarily see leaven working either, but slowly and surely it is growing and expanding
in the dough. We have removed the old leaven of influences of this world, and now the
new leaven of the Kingdom will continue to grow in us and influence everything around
us. By this impartation and transformation within us, we become the bread that God can
use to feed the world.
Key Verses:
1 Corinthians 5:7–8.
“Clean out the old leaven.”
Romans 12:2.
“Do not be conformed to this world.”
Matthew 13:33.
“The kingdom of heaven is like leaven.”
Luke 13:20–21.
“To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? It is like leaven.”
Colossians 1:13.
“He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred
us to the kingdom of His beloved Son.”
Philippians 3:20–21.
“Our citizenship is in heaven.”
Quotes: “We are implanted into the Kingdom, and now the Kingdom is being implanted
into us.”
“The days of unleavened bread are finished, and we must become this new loaf
of bread that is to feed the world.”
“The answer for Mexico is this leaven of His Kingdom. And it is now dwelling in
your hearts.”
Takeaways:
1. The Feast of Unleavened Bread has tremendous significance for believers.
Paul wrote about this feast and related it to what happens to us rather than to
bread. We become unleavened by cleaning out the old influences of the world
from our lives.
2. At the end of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, leavened bread is eaten again.
And so we do not remain unleavened. Christ imparts to us the leaven of His
Kingdom. We have removed the old influences of the world, and we have
growing within us the influence of the Kingdom of God.
3. This influence of the Kingdom that expands in our hearts does not stop with
us. It will leaven our community, our nation, and ultimately the entire earth.
