We learn about the priestly duties and the types of food the Israelites were allowed to eat and not allowed to eat. There is always a point being made in the scriptures, our main goal should be to receive the word into our spirit.

Greetings children of God! Welcome to my podcast in the name of The Father, The Son & The Holy Spirit! Happy New Year and thank you for listening. This season we are going to embark on the 3rd book of Moses called Leviticus. The first three chapters of this episode talks about the various offerings made by the Israelites in atonement of their sins. The Lord helped me to understand the deeper meaning of these sacrifices and how it helped the people in those days to break free from their daily sinful lives.

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 39 & 40
The Finale! Thank you for journeying the book of Exodus with me! Stay tuned for the book of Leviticus!!!
Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 36 - 38
The intricate detailing of the building of the tabernacle and the Ark of Covenant makes me think of the human design and how we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. A human phenomenon we are, to behold the presence of God in all His glory right within us. But there are levels to understanding this glory and it starts with the spirit.
Thank you for tuning in and for your continued support! I pray that this episode speaks to your soul and awakens your spirit in Jesus name!! Amen!
Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 34 & 35
"Behold, I make a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord. For it is an awesome thing that I will do with you (Exodus 34:10 NKJV)."
To be like Christ is to embody the characteristics of Christ! We must be obedient, faithful, steadfast, spirit-filled, prayerful and filled with LOVE. What kind of life are we living as believers of Christ? What do we idolize? What is our identity in Christ?
I hope this week's episode touches your spirit and causes you to seek God's face concerning His purpose for your life! Amen!
Thank you for your continued support!
Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 32 & 33
For the Lord said to Moses, "Say to the children of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people. I could come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do to you." Exodus 33:5 NKJV.
Like our ancestors the Israelites, to whom by spiritual grafting we are related, we tend to be stubborn in our ways. We only want we want instead of what God wants for us. Even when we want God's will for us, we are too impatient to experience the reality of it. At what point in our Christian walk, do we come to the realization that our way is the wrong way? When do we begin to understand that unless God's name is on it, it didn't come from Him?
This week's episode is definitely an eye-opener! We hope it convicts your heart as it did ours! Thank you for your continued support always! Don't forget to share this podcast with others; follow us on Instagram/Facebook at www.instagram.com/knowinggodpodcast. God bless you all!
Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 30 & 31
Most people skim through the readings of the books of the Old Testament for lack of understanding the message being delivered by God. This week's reading highlighted the Altar of Incense and its significance as it relates to the Israelites and God. In this episode, my special guest, Tahj Spencer, a 16-year-old high school student and vessel of God, joined me in the discussion. What did the incense represent? Why a Census? Why a ransom?
We hope this episode fills you up with the desire to want to study the word as opposed to reading the word while seeking God's revelations!
Thank you for your support! Happy listening!
Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 28 & 29
The Priesthood. In these two chapters, God appoints Aaron and his sons as priests over Israel giving Moses detailed instructions on how to make them fit for the position God has called them to. God has called you for a specific purpose; are you ready to fulfill your calling? Are you prepared to go through the proper channels to become fit for the spiritual warfare that lies ahead?
Take a moment to reflect on your Christian life and whether you are in alignment with God's purpose! I pray this week's episode transforms your mind and empowers you to seek God more!
God bless you and thank you for your support!
Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 26 & 27
"The Altar" - This week, we continue reading about the laws God set forth before the Israelites through Moses. God is so detailed about the building of the Tabernacle and The Altar where the Ark of Covenant is kept. These details can be likened to us, the believers, true followers of Christ! We are members that make up the body of Christ who is the Head. Each member is designed with intricate detail from God who formed us and the light upon us must continually shine.
I pray this episode awakens the Holy Spirit in you and causes you to go into a secret place with the Lord as you seek His face for clarity and wisdom! Thank you for listening and God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 14 & 15
We all encounter Egypt in our lives even as believers, but God gives us the assurance that He will take us out of Egypt! In these two chapters, God continues to show His power and mighty hand as He delivers the Israelites from the hands of the Egyptians. There are times we go back to Egypt or consider going back when we are impatient with God's process; the Israelites complained when there was no water to drink on their 3 days journey in the wilderness (God was testing them). They cried that it would have been better for them to be enslaved than to suffer in the wilderness. But once again, in His grace, God heard their cries and supplied them with water. It is better to suffer for the things of God (long-suffering) than for the things of this world.
We are made to understand that God will never leave us nor forsake us once we put our trust in Him! I hope you enjoy today's episode! Remember to subscribe to the podcast and share with your family and friends! God bless you!
Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 12 & 13
Whew! In these two chapters we see the grace and wrath of God unfold over two nations! We liken the activities that took place in these chapters to our lives today as we reason with the afflictions many Christians face. Our reality of life differs from the life God intends for us and this can only be recognized when we have come to a place of reconciliation with ourselves and with God. How does this story relate to your life thus far?

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 7 & 8
Pharoah was warned by Moses and Aaron to let God's people go but he refused! God unleashed plagues on the land of Egypt and on the people of Egypt without it affecting the Israelites. Will these plagues soften Pharoah's heart? How many of us are facing situations today that overwhelms us and causes us to be blind to what God promised to do in our lives?
Join us on this journey as we witness the journey of the Israelites and their escape from Egypt. Don't forget to subscribe! God bless you!
Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 5 & 6
In this episode, Moses has his first encounter with Pharoah. The Israelites doubt Moses and Aaron because of Pharoah's contempt towards their request to be freed to serve God. What did Moses do? Does he continue what God has called him to do or does he give up? God bless you as you listen and read along! May you have an encounter with the Holy Spirit in your secret place with Him in Jesus name. Amen.

Conclusion of the Genesis Series
Blessings to you! I am so excited to present the conclusion of the Genesis series! What a great way to end this season, with the story of Joseph. In this series, we learn about the first sin, the first murder, the first deception, the first rape and many more evil things that continue today. However, we also learned the importance of Faith, Obedience, Perseverance, Long-suffering, Patience, Love and Forgiveness and other great attributes of mankind.
There was so much to unpack but well worth it! I am not a Bible scholar nor am I a prophet or teacher. I am simply a repentant sinner seeking salvation through the daily meditation of the Word and my works as a disciple on earth. I love reading the Bible and I love reading about the people and their journey. The Holy Spirit helps me to understand things I never understood on my own every time I read His Word.
I pray that as you have listened, the Holy Spirit will fill your minds and soul with His presence and the eagerness to seek Him!
Next up, the book EXODUS (The Exit)!
Thank you for listening...
Genesis Series - The Beginning: Final Season - Parts 5 & 6
In the next few chapters, we dive into the life of Joseph and how much favor he received in the sight of God despite his adversities and sufferings. May the blessings Joseph received even in his time of suffering be bestowed upon us all in Jesus name!
Amen!
Please stay tuned and happy listening!
Genesis Series: The Finale Episode: Parts 3 & 4
Genesis Series: The Finale Episode: Parts 1 & 2
We are half way through the book of Genesis: The Beginning and I am excited! The Finale episode is broken into parts in order to complete the entire book. I encourage you to listen with an open mind and spirit as you allow the Holy Spirit to fill you. There are so many accounts to take into consideration in this book. From the first sin to many sins including lies, deception, betrayal, pain, anger and much more; we will unravel the heart of man versus the heart and mind of God in the significance of the stories we will read. You will experience God's faithfulness, His judgments, His promises, His punishments and His love.
I pray as you listen that the Holy Spirit will touch you and enlighten you so as to encourage the will to study His word and meditate on it day and night! God bless you!

S2:EP3 - "VESSEL"
A vessel is described as a container used for holding something; a person into whom some quality such as grace is infused as a child of light, a true vessel of the Lord. Do we consider ourselves vessels of honor? One that holds steadfast, slow to anger, slow to speak, meek, humble, patient, faithful, holy and righteous? This month's episode aims to encourage listeners to read the word more, seek understanding and wisdom, let go of lustful desires and focus their attention on God while spreading the gospel and winning souls for the kingdom. The following scriptures inspired this month's episode: Jeremiah 5:20-31 & 2nd Timothy 2:14-26.
God bless you as you listen!
