Freedom Ministries with Mike Popovich

Do I believe in Hell? Yes! What was the result of eating from the wrong tree? What was the last enemy that was destroyed? Is that enemy finally conquered? Who is the consuming fire? Scripture says that He is the consuming fire and all of us will be salted with fire.    Whatever your concept of hell is, it is in the presence of His all consuming love that never fails.  I believe in Hell. But scripture says His lake of fire ultimately consumes hell and death.  I believe Hell is for purification, not eternal damnation with no hope for escape. Is it possible someone could reject perfect love, in theory yes, but my hope is no. 

Faith is simply trust. Not in our faith, but the character of Jesus.  Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. 24 Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.  The real question is not whether I have enough faith to be healed, but is The Father someone I can trust.  Saturating peoples hearts and minds with the unconditional love of the Father will do more to create a healing environment than anything else we do.  Getting Started – there is no right or wrong way: Ask when the problem started and what exactly is the problem. Listen between the lines and be open to words from the Father. Pray for specific results. Pray that the love, light, compassion, and healing power of the Holy Spirit heal the problem. Check for specific results.

Faith is not a level to achieve by prayer and fasting…It is a gift of the Spirit.  The real question is not whether I have enough faith to be healed, but is The Father someone I can trust.  People need to know that Jesus has completely forgiven them and all He desires to do is love and comfort them.  Saturating peoples hearts and minds with the unconditional love of the Father will do more to create a healing environment than anything else we do.  Getting Started – there is no right or wrong way: Ask when the problem started and what exactly is the problem. Listen between the lines and be open to words from the Father. Pray for specific results. Pray that the love, light, compassion, and healing power of the Holy Spirit heal the problem. Check for specific results.

When you take the time to see and hear Jesus – it supernaturally produces results that trying harder, legalism or religious works could never produce.  You are changed from the inside out. It is not out of willpower but out of the human heart. 

When you look at the face of Jesus: You become more and more like Him effortlessly – it supernaturally produces results that trying harder, legalism, religious works can never do  Hearts and wrong beliefs are healed, physical healings and emotional healings take place, begin to change from the inside out - “from glory to glory”

Jeremiah 33:3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ Everyone can see and hear God for themselves. It is a covenant. You do not need to pray/fast and twist God’s arm for Him to speak. His dream is for us to be in a relationship with Him. 

The Apostles and early church fathers taught union with God. It wasn’t until around 400AD that Augustine and others started to teach God is separated from man. (Greek Philosophy) Around 1000 AD Anselm and Calvin taught penal substitution and limited atonement. The focus was no longer on victory over sin and death. The focus was on an angry God that had to pour out His wrath on Christ because sin had to be punished.   God is love and the ultimate expression of His love is the conquering of sin and death! He is for you, and will never be against you!  When the goodness of God is proclaimed, your heart can begin to heal and receive His love, joy, healing, blessing, favor, health….He wants His goodness “all in all”.

Every religion in the world has “god” separated from man, and man must appease this angry “god”. It creates religious activities to get closer to “god” – we always come short and it continues to harden our hearts so we don’t enjoy an intimate relationship with a loving Father, Son and Holy Spirit.   Instead of fear, insecurity and rejection, let His love for you heal your heart and experience life, joy, confidence… Your behavior never separated you from His love or blessings – You can always expect the very best. He will always restore, bless and never, ever, ever leave you nor reject you. 

Heal Your Heart - Heal Your Life

Jesus came to reveal the heart of a loving Father. He loved us so much He rescued us and reconciled the world (kosmos-creation) to Himself.  The “good/bad” tree always makes us feel separated, we believe God is angry and needs justice and we experience fear.  The “tree of life” is unconditional love. No record of wrong.   Romans 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,  He is a loving Father that was never angry at you. He has always been for you. In your deepest sin, darkest pain and rejection, He is right there and is very well pleased with you.  Instead of fear, insecurity and rejection. Let Him heal your heart and experience life, joy, confidence…
