Pilate asked ‘what is truth?’ even as truth stood before him. This is still a valid question. How do you view truth? In classic rationality truth is abstract and independent; it is objective and conceptual. Is there another approach? I said that you could know the truth, but I didn’t claim that I knew the truth, but that I was the truth. This strong statement opens the door for relational truth. Can you obtain relational truth outside of a relationship? Can you get it from books alone, even the Bible? The Bible speaks of people who had encounters with me.

Detectives use fingerprints to identify criminals. Your fingerprints are unique identifiers and you leave evidence of your presence on everything you touch, everywhere you go. Do you think I have fingerprints? You hold a doctrinal position that I created the heavens and the earth. Do you think I left evidence behind of my workmanship, in the same way an artist signs their paintings? If this is true then my creation testifies to the work I did in creating it. Do the heavens and the earth declare the glory of God? Not everyone can see this. Can you?

You know that I taught in parables. These were stories to illustrate the nature of the Kingdom of God, and you are familiar with these from the Bible. I taught in timeless imagery familiar to my audiences. Do you think that if I walked among you today I would use the same stories? Perhaps I would add new ones that spoke directly to modern experience. The parables only work if they bridge the gap between the familiar and the unfamiliar. You have to engage your audience with something they know to teach them something they don’t know. How do you present the gospel message?

There are crimes against the law of the land, misdemeanors and felonies, and civil lawsuits. Are there other types of crime? You won’t be arrested and prosecuted for spiritual crimes, but do such things exist? In some schools of theology anything sinful would qualify, and you have a way to obtain forgiveness for your sins. What about interfering with the spiritual development of someone else; causing one of these little ones to stumble? What about those for whom the way of truth is evil spoken of? For offenses must come, but woe to him by whom the offense comes.

Do you want to experience my full presence? Be careful what you ask for. Do you like having your home attached to grid power? The service to your house is about 200 volts depending on where you live. You know that there are high voltage transmission lines and these run at 12,000 to 120,000 volts and more. Do you think it would give you a superior experience of power to connect your home directly to these voltages? You know that this is a bad idea. How much of my presence can you bear? I know the answer to that question even if you don’t, and will not overpower you.

I was thrilled to be invited back to ElijahForce for another deep dive into the sacred supernatural with Julie Smith.

In our previous shows we talked angels – and even met some! Now we shifted gears to explore a topic she’d never done an interview on before. This time Julie wanted to discuss quantum physics and how the principles in this field correlate with our walk in the spirit. Of course I was happy to oblige!

Explore the many methods Jesus used to heal. Recognize the significance of the fact that more than half the time, the word used for these healings was the Greek word for "therapeutic," which means "cure." Become aware of 28 therapeutic cures which are either mentioned in the Bible or, if not specifically mentioned, are compatible with biblical principles.

This testimony of inner healing is from a woman working through one of our School of the Spirit modules.

Would you say that your life is characterized by passion? Would this make you normal or abnormal? Do you find that most people go through life going through the motions, and that you can go through life and support yourself without an inner fire? But isn’t there an inner longing for a fully engaged life, for a cause that you are so committed to that it consumes you? How many people do you know like that? Do you admire them? Are you one of them? Do you live your life with a sense of destiny? Are you listening to your soul to find out what it is asking of you? Are you prepared to respond?

How do you carry out the Great Commission? Do you admire the apostles for their boldness that is commended in the Bible and wish to emulate them? Have you ever encountered resistance to the gospel message? Do you find that the harder you push the harder your audience pushes back, so your efforts create resistance? How do you feel when someone is trying to persuade you? Is there anything more important than feeling safe when you encounter a different point of view?
