Connecting The Gap

There are three baptisms that the Bible says we need in our walk with God. If we are saved and continue to live this life on this Earth, God wants us to follow a pattern in our salvation walk. This week we start a series on the Holy Spirit. This will be a multipart series and we will hit different topics throughout the next few weeks. Please visit my website at www.connectingthegap.net for more studies, podcasts and my blog. Please share and use the contact form on the website to let us know how God is working in your life. We'd love to hear from you! God Bless! [RM]

This week on Connecting The Gap we continue our study on the Holy Spirit with part 2 of The Three Baptisms, oftentimes mentioned as the Three Fold Witness. A lot of Christians receive Christ in their hearts but they don't realize they also need a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit to live a complete fulfilled walk with him where you can operate in the gifts of the Spirit.

Last week we talked about the character principle. When we are fighting Satan in our daily battles and he comes against us with the original deception we need to consider the character of the one we choose to follow. Satan is a liar who has come to kill, steal, and destroy. Is that someone you really want to follow? This week we detail another principle for how we can defeat the temptations in our life once and for all. This is a continuation of our study on The Great Divide.

Sometimes we look at God like He is a taskmaster that only sets us up to fail. The truth is, the reason we think that a lot of the time is because of the unbiblical teaching within the church and other believers. When man teaches their standards instead of the Bible it always looks like God is sitting around with a big stick waiting for us to mess up so He can whack us on the head! God is everything but that. He is a loving God that is there to pick us up when we fall and He wants us to succeed in this life as we prepare for the next one. This week we start a 2 part series in our Great Divide study unpacking the character of God and who He really is. Check out www.connectingthegap.net for more studies and my blog! Please share!

Who would have thought that the day Satan tempted Eve and she fell for it that we would be tempted the same way and still be falling for it thousands of years later? Kind of crazy huh? This week on Connecting The Gap we continue this section of our study on "The Great Divide" and talk about The Original Deception. If you still struggle with sin and can't figure out why you seem to keep failing it very well could be Satan is deceiving you the same way he always has. This study will help you understand how Satan deceives us even still today and how we can win the battle against him!

Satan loves to use his original deception to deceive us all. Now that we know how he comes to us and tries to cause us to stumble, what are some ways we can have success in fighting against him? One way is to know the character of the one who is trying to deceive us. This week on Connecting the Gap we will discuss part one of Principles for Success, ways we can overcome the original deception in our lives. We are on Podbean, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Tune-In, iHeart radio and more! Please subscribe and visit our website www.connectingthegap.net for more Bible study and my blog!

Many years ago in the Garden of Eden, Satan deceived Eve into disobeying God and eating of the forbidden fruit. She then in turn talked Adam into eating it as well starting an eternal downward spiral as sin entered the earth and was then inherited by all mankind. Did we learn the lesson from that mistake that Eve made? No. In fact, Satan still deceives us to this day the same exact way. We really are creatures of habit! Join us this week on Connecting The Gap as we talk about the Original Deception and how it can keep us from having the life God intends for us to have. This is Part 1 of that discussion. You can visit www.connectingthegap.net for more Bible studies, podcasts and my blog. Please share and get the word out! Thanks and God bless!

Do you want to get the desires of your heart? Do you want to get all these things added unto you? The Bible says it will happen. Why is that not the case in my life? Do you ask those questions sometimes in your life as you go about your day to day activities? There is a reason those things may not be manifested in your life.

Have you ever struggled to solve a Rubik's Cube? I personally have never defeated that crazy little thing! It can be so frustrating trying to solve the puzzle! Life sometimes can be like a Rubik's Cube and it can really impact the life we have with God and can cause us to not attain that extraordinary life we are longing for. This week we discuss part 1 of You, God, and a Rubik's Cube. Please watch and share and thanks for your support and prayers!

In order for us to live an extraordinary life versus an average one we have to understand that we need to take part in God's promises. He makes promises to us that He will keep if we put down our baggage and start walking in the fulness of His glory. It's up to us to make those choices and step out of those dark places and let him revive that fire within us. This week we start part 1 of the promises God gives us and how we can be a better Christian and witness if we follow God. I am working on better lighting and have tweaked the download settings a little bit so the experience should be much better without the buffering. Please let me know if there are still issues with playback. You can contact me at my website at www.connectingthegap.net. Please watch and share!

Are you filled with joy or are you just happy at the moment? Most people don't realize but there is a difference! This week on Connecting The Gap we continue our discussion in part 2 of promises, promises. We are finishing up the segment on the promises God gives us that we need to take advantage of in this life if we expect to live an extraordinary life for Him. It does take some work on our part to make that happen! Visit my website at www.connectingthegap.net for more discussions and the rest of this series. The link for my weekly blog is there as well.

As we have talked each week about how graduate from an average to an extraordinary life in Christ, have you seen places in your life where you could do better? Are there things that you need to let go? This week we end the discussion and get to the bottom of what the root cause of the great divide is and how to fix it.

God has given us so many treasures to go find. But how do we do that? He has promised us so many things in our life to make our walk with Him extra ordinary. But how do we partake of those promises? God has given us a treasure map. In His Word He tells us the action we need to take to get a reaction from Him. All it takes is opening up the Bible and start understanding His goodness and the things He wants to give us each day.

This week we go into part 2 of Camped Out. This is also episode 2 of the new study we started last week called The Great Divide. If you are attempting this walk with God and it seems you are going nowhere but in circles and can't seem to make any progress, this study is for you! If you can't rate your relationship with God very high on your scale and can't seem to figure out why, join us as we go through this study and determine what it takes to take our relationship with God from average to extra-ordinary! Please share this with others! Thanks!

On a scale of 1-10, where would you rate your relationship with Jesus? Are you happy with where you are currently at in your walk with Christ? Do you think you do enough or could you do more? Do you feel like sometimes you just go in circles in your Christian walk and never seem to make any progress? This week starts a new discussion that is just for you! In this new study, "The Great Divide", we tackle these issues and how we can be a better Christian, taking our walk with God from average to extraordinary!

This week it is the final part of our study on the Healing at the Pool of Bethesda. This has been an interesting one and hopefully you enjoyed it if you were able to watch! It has come to my attention that the video bitrates have been a little tough on my Podcasting and Audio side. I am experimenting this week with a lower bitrate to hopefully stop the buffering issues. I'm hoping I won't lose much in video quality. You can watch all my studies I have done so far on my YouTube channel without any issue. It's been iHeart Radio and my video podcasting platforms that have been having the issue. Sorry I didn't catch it before now! Check it out this week and let me know how it goes! Next week I'll be starting an awesome series called the Great Divide. I've been circulating the promo for it. If you haven't seen the promo I'll be reposting it on my Facebook and you can also watch it on my YouTube and podcasting channels. Those addresses can be found at www.connectingthegap.net. It's an awesome study that you won't want to miss! I'm excited about it and hopefully you will join me in it! Please share this for me and like all my channels. New stuff comes out each week! Love you all and hope you have an awesome week!

This week we continue with part 2 of our 3-part study of the miracle, The Healing at Bethesda. It's a perfect picture of unwarranted grace as Jesus healed this man with no known change of heart in this man's life. Please subscribe and share! Thanks for watching!

In John 5 there is a small miracle that Jesus performs that is wrapped up in 16 verses. At first glance it doesn't seem to have rhyme or reason as to why Jesus would do the miracle. The man wasn't looking for Jesus, nor did it seem that he even knew who he was. Why did Jesus pick this man to heal when in the end he didn't even seem grateful or even want to know Jesus name? This week we look at the healing at Bethesda and and see the true grace God has, even when we don't seem to be thankful for it! This is part 1 of a 3 part series. Please subscribe to my podcast or YouTube channel and share away! www.connectingthegap.net

Give me this, I want that, bless me Lord I pray! Does that sound familiar? Is God the supplier of your needs or the vendor of your wants? This week we start with a short video with a funny take on God as our vending machine. We then discuss the importance of following the correct order for prayer to God. Jesus gave us an order for which to pray for things. It's a good reminder that God will not be manipulated by our greedy prayers! Please subscribe and share!

Last week a young man murdered several people at massage parlors due to sexual addiction. This is a huge issue these days and as the days seem to grow darker society battles with more and more evil. Unfortunately most sins in our life start in Satan's battlefield, our mind. This week just starts at the tip of the iceberg of this issue with a few starter tips to defeating this issue of our mind and Satan's attacks. Please subscribe for content from us on our podcast and YouTube.

Ever wonder what the power is that steps in and intervenes at just the right moment and also keeps this world in order? It doesn't just happen by chance. God has a certain type of grace that sometimes keeps us from faltering and keeps the world in it's place. It is His preventing grace. This week we complete the 2 part series, Preventing Grace. Please share for me and pass this to others that might benefit. Subscribe to all my channels on my podcast and YouTube.

What is preventing grace? Have you ever heard of that? It is something that as a believer and a non-believer you experience every day. Sometimes more than others! Join me this week as we start a 2 week series on Preventing Grace!

Why do we have to go through stuff? Why does it seem every time we turn around we are fighting another battle in life? Are you going through a battle right now that you don't understand? This week we discuss three different types of storms that are mentioned in the Bible. Believe it or not, there is a reason for the storm you are going through!
