It is found in verse 27, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.” This is actually a very challenging promise, but you will have to listen to the podcast to get the answer.

This subject of divine favor is one point we will focus on and it will stir your soul.

The spiritual condition of the American church is at an all time low. Compromise and immorality are the norm. At the root of the problem is the poor condition of the character of individuals and churches. Character matters and it is very important to God. In today’s lesson we will look at the third reason why the power of God is not powerfully moving in the American church. With an understanding of the things that hinder the Spirit’s outpouring is the potential to right the wrongs and see revival sweep this country once again. Accept the challenge in this study by applying the Biblical truths to your life. You will not be sorry!

In this final lesson in our series on Holy Fire we will examine a couple of the primary reasons why we need the Holy Spirit’s fire burning in us. We will conclude the podcast by specially examining our God who is a consuming fire. My prayer is that this message will help set your life on fire for Jesus.
In part two of this study on Holy Fire you will learn about God’s self-disclosure as a He revealed Himself through a burning bush, a pillar of fire and through tongues of fire. The God that is a consuming fire wants to consume anyone with His loving, holy fire that will come to Him with all their heart. The purifying fire of God will set ablaze those who passionately pursue Him.
Biblical Christianity is radical! To this we are called and the true faith has not changed in 2000 years. This is also true when it comes to the baptism in the Holy Spirit. As real and needed as the baptism in the Spirit was for the early church so it is for us. This study will demonstrate why and how God wants to restore to the church the full Gospel.

In this final lesson on “A Presence Driven Church” we will study the idea that when a church is presence driven she will do the most good for the Kingdom of God. The spiritual, emotional, intellectual and relational healing that people need cannot come from the world, but only through Christ and the working of the Holy Spirit. The more the Spirit is in the church the greater healing will take place in the lives of people. And the greater the Spirit works in and through individual believers the greater the work can be accomplished through him or her. This teaching will help you be such a person and help you build such a church.

In this series we will examine what the church is to be and how she is to fulfill her reason-for-being. You will be deeply stirred by this message.

The work of the Holy Spirit in authentic revival will be the subject of Episode two of The Radical Truth. There will never be genuine revival without the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. That is why God calls the church to be presence driven, never purpose driven. The Spirit can accomplish more in one moment then what the church could achieve in a millennium. All the church programs and church growth teachings combined cannot come close to the work of the Holy Spirit.

King Solomon wisely told us to avoid all extremes (Ecc. 7:18). This is good commonsense theology. Ah, but how inclined are we to heed such rational advice? Like pendulums we swing from one extreme to the other, all the while believing that our life and faith are relatively in good balance. However, does such reasoning
