074: Godspeed! // How to Align Your Life with the Real Future

On a recent morning, I was outside investing time with the Lord in the Word and prayer. I feel like the Holy Spirit gave me a fresh facet of insight about a popular verse - "Do not be conformed to this world (age may be a better translation), but be transformed by the renewing of your mind ..." (Romans 12:2). So I just did a flash recording on the spot. Here's the opportunity: we don't have to conform to this decaying age, but we can align now to the age that Jesus is bringing. And that has to mean more than we can imagine!

073: Smart Discipleship That Advances Your “Kingdom Career” — Isaac & Silvia Rowe

"Discipleship" is the maturation process of becoming more like Jesus -- in both his character and competencies (the ventures he modeled). The Holy Spirit is the Ultimate Teacher to help us "learn Christ." Kingdom Clusters (specialized affinity groupings) are emerging to accelerate our advancement ... small is the new big.

070: Why Is the Church So Shattered with Fiefdoms? - Craig Greatman

Craig Greatman -- pastor, Harley Davidson rider, Doctorate of Divinity candidate -- wonders why the Church is so shattered with fragmented fiefdoms. Are we adoring the icons of our own "Churchianity" cubbyholes? A miserly "meism" cannot experience the authentic Church that Christ is building.

069: Godspeed! // Overcome Via the Power of Reckoning. Period.

True faith counts it as so ... no matter what! "Reckoning" is an accounting term. "Kingdom Reckoning" draws a double line under what we are believing for. So we immerse ourselves in the Word. We pray. We speak. And we move in faith. No blinking - no flinching - no budging. Kingdom Accounting supersedes the natural plane and believes. Period.

067: You Can Experience Resurrection Life Now! - Brian Del Turco

Jesus reframes our belief about resurrection life IN THE NOW -- just like he did with Martha when her brother died. We're designed in Christ to "taste the powers of the age to come" in our day (Hebrews 6:5). And that includes the resurrection life of Christ! Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life" ... it's a now statement. The truth is that the resurrection is already on since Christ was raised by the power of God. Everything can be affected by his life. Relationships. A business. A project. Anything. And yes, someone who has died. The question is -- are we willing and obedient to be "coached up" by Jesus?

066: Godspeed! // Winning Thoughts

This is Godspeed! ... punchy, bite-sized "tinysodes" from Jesus Smart. This is episode #66. We have between 12,000 and 60,000 thoughts run through our mind each day. When our thoughts start to blend with strong emotions, our brain is deeply impacted -- for the good or for the bad. Our physical brain actually changes according to how we think. New neural pathways are created. It's important that we take time to notice how we are thinking and feeling and take charge of our thought life. How we think affects everything. Paul wrote, "We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" (2 Cor. 10:5 NASB).
