The KINGDOM Militia Podcast

In this podcast episode, I discuss the issue of Christian men lacking spiritual power in their lives. I share my personal experiences and reference the scripture in 2 Timothy 3:5 to explain how many men go through the motions of religion without a genuine connection to God. I want to warn against the dangers of pretense and encourage you to allow God's power to work in all aspects of your life, including your family, faith, fitness, and finances. It's important to understand that true godliness goes beyond outward displays and rituals.

In this episode, we have an incredible guest who shares his personal experience of stepping into a new identity and the transformative power of vulnerability. He opens up about his mindset shift and the doors that have opened for him since embracing his true self. It's truly inspiring!

Our guest shares a powerful story of a Brigadier General who lived a life full of adventure but found that this new adventure was different and life-changing. It's a reminder that there's always room for growth and new experiences.

Choosing to be productive, profitable, and purposeful is not a one-time decision but a daily commitment. They stress the importance of having a strong "why" or purpose, which should be revisited every day to maintain motivation and momentum. The speakers also suggest that one's beliefs play a significant role in making this choice and that it's essential to choose a positive mindset instead of being stuck in a victim mindset. They emphasize that individuals are not stuck in anything unless they choose to be, and that productivity, profitability, and purposefulness are achievable if one commits to it every day. The speakers also discuss the importance of discipline and commitment, with commitment being the driving force behind building discipline in one's daily actions. They suggest that commitment and discipline go hand in hand and that being more committed can help individuals build more discipline in their daily actions, leading to more productivity, profitability, and purposefulness.

The speaker shares a realization they had about the relationship between commitment and discipline. They had always believed that being disciplined would lead to greater commitment, but they heard someone say that it was actually the other way around - the more committed you are, the more discipline you can build. The speaker emphasizes the importance of making a daily choice to be productive, profitable, and purposeful, and that this choice needs to be made every day.

The guest emphasizes that every day, you have the choice to be productive, profitable, and purposeful, and that discipline and commitment are key to maintaining positive habits.

It is undeniable that evil offers enticing substitutes in the form of temptation. The world is a form of temptation, and evil often makes offers that are alluring and enticing in order to divert our attention away from what is important. This is made clear in Matthew 4:8-9, when the devil took Jesus up on an exceedingly high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. He offered Jesus all these things if he would fall down and worship him. The devil's offer was tempting and alluring, and this is what evil does. It makes offers that are enticing and draw us away from what is important. It could be an overwhelming job offer that requires us to leave home and work sixteen hours a day. We may be enticed by the money, but we don't consider the sacrifice that is being made to get that money. The same is true of sex. Sex is a normal function, something that was created for us to enjoy and use for procreation. However, evil has a corrupt version of sex, offering a substitute that shifts our focus away from what is important. Adam and Eve were also tempted in the Garden of Eden. The fruit looked appealing to the eye and promised them wisdom and godlike power. This is what evil does, it poses something to us that sounds like a good idea. It can be something as simple as a neighbor offering something that we think we might enjoy.
One of the most important things that we can do to resist evil is to say no. This is easier said than done, as evil often comes with an influence to get us to behave and act in a certain way. We must recognize that we have a choice, and that is to resist evil and to say no. It is a conscious decision to not give in to temptation and to remain steadfast in our faith. We must also remember that God has provided us with the grace to deny ungodly and worldly lust. We must take an active stance of resistance against evil and refuse to bow down to its influence. We must rise up and not allow ourselves to be enslaved by the lusts of the world.

Unfortunately, many Christian men are caving under the pressure of evil and have accepted its substitutes. They have found pleasure in yielding to evil and have stopped resisting it. We must remember that God has given us the power to overcome temptation and that we can find a way out of the situation. We must be strong in our faith and have the courage to stand up and say no. 00:00:22 Evil offers enticement. 00:07:06 Resist evil and say no. 00:17:46 Negative association with temptation. 00:21:00 Resist the evil, serve God.

Assertive

Be at Peace

Responding To My Troll

In this podcast, it is discussed that God is love, and that love is His essence and nature. The concept of God being both loving and wrathful is explored, with the conclusion that everything God does is a manifestation of His love and that seeking to understand what love truly is, is the key to understanding His nature. It is further discussed that religion often confuses people and can cause doubts to arise regarding God’s goodness, but ultimately we can see the manifestation of who God is. 

How to be ON FIRE for The LORD

Stephen Ortiz was born with a back injury that resulted in potential paralysis, and he was treated in the hospital with 30 surgeries by the time he was four years old. As Stephen was growing up, his parents' decisions resulted in drastic consequences for his family, which caused him to resort to stealing and lacking necessities.

* God changed His life

* Question religious beliefs critically

* Talk and people will listen

* Do life with Jesus

Doing something with Jesus is a great way to find purpose and peace in our lives. We can learn to trust in God and in ourselves. We can take the time to listen to what God has to say and to follow His guidance. We can also take the time to talk to Him and to ask for His help. We can learn to rely on Him for strength and courage when times are tough.

When we do something with Jesus, we can learn to be humble and to trust in His plan. We can be open to hearing His voice and to believe in His promises. We can also learn to be kind and generous to others and to be patient and understanding. Doing something with Jesus can also help us to be more aware of our own strengths and weaknesses. We can learn to accept ourselves and to be thankful for the blessings we have been given.

Doing something with Jesus can help us find peace and joy in our lives. We can learn to focus on the positive and to be thankful for all that we have. We can learn to trust in God's plan and to be open to His guidance. We can also learn to be kind and generous to others, and to be patient and understanding. Doing something with Jesus can help us find the courage to take risks, be brave, and never give up.

God’s approval and affirmation is an important and often overlooked aspects of our spiritual lives. We are all created in the image of God, and as such, we are all worthy of his approval and affirmation. Unfortunately, many of us have grown up without the approval and affirmation of a father figure, leaving us feeling unworthy and undeserving of such love and attention. This feeling of being overlooked and undervalued can be difficult to overcome, but God’s approval and affirmation can help us to feel worthy and accepted. The Bible speaks of Jesus’ baptism in Matthew 3:17, which reads, “Suddenly there came a voice from heaven saying, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’” This passage speaks of God’s approval and affirmation of Jesus, and is a reminder that we too are worthy of such love and acceptance. The NLT translation of this passage reads, “This is my dearly loved son, in whom brings me great joy.” The amplified version reads, “My beloved son, in whom I am well pleased, and I’m delighted.” These translations speak of the pleasure, gratification, satisfaction, and delight that God feels for us. In the podcast, Tim talks about his own upbringing, which included a stepfather who was addicted to heroin and a biological father who was in prison most of his life. He speaks of the lack of encouragement, support, and affirmation he received from his father figures, and how it was not until later in life that he began to be mentored and supported by someone else. This is a reminder of how important it is to receive affirmation and understanding from those around us, especially from those in authority.

Unfortunately, many Christian men struggle to believe that they have good standing with God. This is often due to feelings of guilt and shame, and the belief that God’s love and approval are directly correlated to our behavior. We may feel like an angel one minute and the devil the next, and this can lead to a roller coaster of emotions. It is important to remember that God’s love and approval are not directly correlated to our behavior. We are loved and accepted even if we fall short.

This lack of affirmation can also lead to a need to impress people, to prove that we are worthy of love and acceptance. We may try to do this through wealth, over achievement, or seeking validation through social media. This is a sign that we are not secure in our own self-worth, and it can lead to feelings of emptiness and pain. It is only when we truly believe that God’s love is unconditional that we can begin to accept our own worth and love ourselves.

Main points:

God approves and affirms us. God's love is unconditional. God is our Father and supporter. Believe in what God says about you.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God.

He made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.

And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

Mark 1:35

"And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, He went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed."

Mark 6:31

"And He saith unto them, come apart into a desert place, and rest awhile."

Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

--

I pray that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one, just as We are one:

Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’

--

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

For to this, you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: “Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth” who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously.
