Kinds of Prayer, Starting with Petition and Intercession

Published by:

So, I did a series on kinds of prayer. I have 8 categories. All the other lists I found were incomplete.

I know I typed this out,but I also know you are not seeing. And right now, neither am I.

Anyway, the first category is petition and intercession (which is petition for someone else).

It is good. You will like it. And people who are old hat with the sonship doctrine I can tell, will find this useful too.

Greetings to the JPS Family

Published by:

Today, mostly just warm greetings and letting you in on more about what is going on with me.

So very good to hear from some of you. Please keep that coming. Let me know who you are, where you are, and what you are up to. Those of us who know sonship doctrine are a rare breed, but we are not alone. And there should be strength in numbers, yes? And we believe in community, in discerning the Body of Christ, right? Even if we are still learning how to flow together. So, let’s communicate.

Also, a little bit about what else I do. Would that I could post this every week. Do you know that I post another podcast every week for more than 15 years? Look it up at www.greatshalom.org. God wants total well-being for all children. That means everyone, of course, but I do focus on encouraging mothers whose children have some sort of learning problem. On that site now I have a one-size fits all protocol. Only thing like it I’ve seen. And cheap cheap cheap compared to doctor help — if that is even helpful. Even if you do need it, the protocol will give you the basics and let you know what to ask about.

Check out my books there, and click through for print on demand. There are some audio albums for download. Both there and on my consulting site: www.orgstrat.net. If you need teachers trained, administrators coached, or want a consultant to help you start a school. If you want a course in how to start a daycare/preschool as a mission, go to www.teachachildchangeanation.org.

The really big news is my new book: Re-founding Education : Jesus’ Teaching Method. We are off track, right? Let’s get back on track. By following the Leader. Explains the history of American education, draws lessons from how Jesus taught, and gives some suggestions about how to move forward from here, so our children have a more ideal education.

Ever Want to Pray with More Authority?

Published by:

Today, I cover several scriptures that show our authority IN Christ.  We started out, as humans, given dominion. Then, as disciples of Jesus, we were given authority as we follow Jesus and do His assignment. Then, we see David and Isaiah’s words on our authority. Amazing! Give a listen.

Then memorize the Scripture by meditating.

Then, you will have some real “amunition” in prayer.

Next week: different kinds of prayer…. and what about that “decreeing and declaring”?

John 3 : Trust the Son, Receive the Gifts, Lead

Published by:

A second attempt at unpacking the John 3 passage that meant so much to me. Previous track spoke to Move-informed people. This addresses a wider audience. the whole church.

Again, we see that God loves us, gives us Holy Spirit without limit and all things.

Yet, Christians tend not to receive. Jesus expresses regret about this. He also speaks of coming judgement. Yeah, you are not going to hear this elsewhere.

Please connect! Looking for your encouragement and support.

We could have a sonship community here in Austin, too.  Could support each member’s vocation, as well as just be personal friends, and siblings in Christ.

God Loves You, Gives You…. ALL THINGS…. WHAT??? No, that is not what we were told.

Published by:

God Loves Us!

Wow! Huge revelation to me! Right there in John 3! A doctrine that I wondered about for a long long time. A shaft of light that set me free from the worst of the Move. Here it is, aimed at my Move-informed friends.

Posperity Gospel

God Loves You, Gives You…. ALL THINGS…. WHAT??? No, that is not what we were told.We were told that we were called to a life of death, of laying down the Christ life, of poverty, and no enjoyment. We were led to believe anyone who preached like this must be heart hardened and materialistic.

Quite aside from the possibility that some who preach prosperity are materialistic, what does the Bible really say? I unpack the Scripture today, from face value and what Holy Spirit illumined to me. I get personal, in hopes that it will help other Move and ex-Move friends.

Please let me Hear From You — Accepting Preaching Engagements

Please let me hear from you. I have pretty much fulfilled my God-given assignment of re-preaching the sonship message. I expected to get a lot more response. Actually, I expected to get lots of hate from those whose income, even if paltry, comes from the power they get in the Move. Maybe I have avoided that? Maybe not quite? Or maybe I have avoided any notice at all. LOL.  Well, please tell me if I am helping you.

Please reach out for preaching engagements, as well.  Limited time budget, as I am asked to speak and consult elsewhere, so please invite me quickly.

I have other projects and may move on if I don’t hear from you.  The ox shouldn’t be starved. And the worker should not all her life do more than 2 people could do! LOL  We are meant to share.

You Can Ask… the Lord… And Get an Answer

Published by:

You CAN ask.. the Lord… and get an answer. Now that is really good news. Unlike the “you can ask” I got from some woman, when it was evident both that I knew and that I could NOT ask the authorities…. who didn’t know, showed that… and thus would have been highly insecure and offended and dangerous for being “asked’!  But this, no, this is a revelation. I got it from some guy teaching Sunday school. He asked God about his walk with the Lord! How wonderful!

In so many situations, we need direction. And who can give it to us? The Lord God is the one who knows. The Lord God Holy Spirit is the one sent to teach us. Let’s ask!

HalleluJah!

Imagine Gardening Again

Published by:

I am posting, wholesale, a recent email from Wilhite Seeds. Since it does function as an adverstisement, I don’t think they will mind. They are a Texan seed company, and we here in Texas do need some things and some timings different from New England! So, they may or may not be your go-to for seeds, but I do think you will enjoy the read.

“Gardening: Looking Back and Looking Forward”

This article was originally published in 2022, but is worthy of a reshare!

I grew up during an era when gardening and canning were not optional. They were instead, a way of life; a necessity for not just good nutrition, but for survival itself. Canning went beyond fruits and vegetables. We had no electricity, so refrigeration was not a consideration. We smoked meats in our own smokehouse, and we canned meats as well. In our little rural community, we shared canning equipment and we passed it around from family to family. We raised our own hogs and smoked the hams and bacon, but we also canned sausages that were not just breakfast foods but often were the main course for many an evening meal. My mother was very creative in how she prepared such basic fare and made it seem like gourmet fare.
Have you ever considered that we might see the necessity for such skills in today’s world? I certainly have. Look back no further than the devastating freeze of February 2021 and you will realize how fragile our lifestyle really is. We now know that the widespread power failures that many of us experienced could come upon our entire nation literally in the blink of an eye. At first you think, we have food. We can make it. Can you? You have food in the freezer, right? How long would that food last without power to keep it safely frozen? Then what?
Beyond natural catastrophes we have all become blindly controlled by computerization: our cars have brains that are programmed and controlled by computers; our fuel is routed and distributed electronically; communication has all but disappeared in the form of newspapers, letters, and telegraph. Now days we are basically blindly dependent on cell phones, television, and social media via the internet. So, when the power goes down, so goes our lines of communication, and our ability to travel. Terrorist activity could cripple our nation via a few strategic disruptions of our communication networks, or by destroying the fuel delivery systems from port sources or pipelines as well. So, what do we do, you ask? Grocery store? I don’t think so. Without fuel to run your cars you can’t get there. Furthermore, there would soon be no supply source to fill the shelves at your local grocery; no electricity to preserve the meats, milk and produce. Then what? Do you hunt? Maybe. Can you grow a garden? Sure you can! It’s easy to learn and very satisfying to boot. Then how can you preserve the food you grow or the meats you harvest? Forget refrigeration. For decades upon decades people lived and lived well by canning the foods that they depended on. They grew their produce. They hunted their primary protein sources and then they smoked, dried or canned all of it. Not only did they survive, but they flourished.
Am I preaching a survivalist doctrine? Absolutely not. I’m just reminding you that our lifeline system is fragile and as we have seen recently it can be easily disrupted. We do have choices and options. Re-learn what our society once excelled at and become more self-sufficient. Grow a garden. If you already garden, then kick it up a notch or two. Think long term. Learn the art of canning. It can all be very rewarding and satisfying. Let’s learn to share what we do and how we do it. Remember I said that the folks in my little community shared canning equipment and passed it around? We did the same thing with recipes for canning. We shared excess vegetables and fruits that we grew. We exchanged goods, and we all took pride in what we were able to produce.
As we listen to the today’s news, we hear of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The scenarios that I touched on could be just days away for the Ukrainians. When the Ukraine connection is disrupted, it will have a dramatic impact on our own economy. If you think not, just watch the prices at the gas pump. Prices are already soaring with no end in sight. I’m afraid you will see and feel the same devastating impact at the grocery store. Please understand that Ukraine is a very important agricultural country. They are:
·        1st in Europe in terms of arable land area.
·        3rd place in the world by the area of black soil (25% of world’s
volume).
·        1st place in the world in exports of sunflower and sunflower oil.
·        2nd place in the world in barley production and 4th place in barley
exports.
·        3rd largest producer and 4th largest exporter of corn in the world.
·        4th largest producer of potatoes in the world.
·        5th largest rye producer in the world.
·        5th place in the world in bee production (75,000 tons).
·         8th place in the world in wheat exports:
·        9th place in the world in the production of chicken eggs.
·        16th place in the world in cheese exports.
Could it happen in these United States? Certainly not – or could it? Please don’t think we are preaching doom and gloom. Quite the contrary, we are just trying to make sure our customers and friends across the country understand the possibilities that could lie before us. Our customers are truly like our family. We have been serving these great people now for a bit over ONE HUNDRED YEARS and we owe each of you our very best. If we can help prepare you for whatever might possibly beset us, then hopefully we have done our part. At the very least we have perhaps re-awakened you to the wonderful benefits of gardening and canning for your enjoyment and your peace of mind. It’s all something you can do and share with your family, your friends and beyond. In a best-case scenario, you will have created wonderfully delicious foodstuffs that you can enjoy every day of the year.
Simply, here’s all you need to do:
·        till the ground
·        plant the seed
·        tend the garden
·        harvest the crop
Enjoy the process, but more especially, enjoy the wonderful meals from those fresh fruits and vegetables that you have grown!
Happy Gardening and Bon Appetit’!
