A PERSONAL UPDATE FROM MY HEART TO YOURS:
● Hey gang, with the upcoming surgery next week, and thankfully having my God-sent trauma-surgeon on the job, I need to make some adjustments to my schedule. So, I have decided to forego some of my broadcast commitments. I will do Thursday’s "Kingdom Dynamics" and "Friday Morning Conversations” this week.
● Now, this past week, I was given a very serious diagnosis following some very lengthy test results, and all of them are not in yet. The point is that I am not really sure how to process it all right now, as well as to try and keep my mind right at the same time. While I know whose report to believe, yet I have been thinking about God's purpose for doctors in our lives.
● I have held off from facing this surgery for a couple of years, and for a few reasons, but nonetheless, it really messed up my knee. After surgery, I am told that recovery will possibly take a few weeks, how many, I’m not sure, but I do hope I will be back with you soon.
● I have been trying to get all of my classes done for WBSU before October 16th, and even intend to get ahead on my T.V. program, of which I have just about run out of recorded episodes.
● To say the least, I have a lot to do and to be honest, I'm not a man who often gets excited or even stressed about things, but the pressure I feel right now with all of this going through my mind about diagnoses, and trying to get everything done in time.
● Your faith-prayers and thoughts are appreciated, and I trust who my Father created and formed me as stays in the forefront of my mind during this experience.
● Love & Blessings, Dr. Bill

“KINGDOM DYNAMICS” (03-16-2023) “BECOMING AWARE!" [THERE IS ABOUT A 3-MINUTE GAP IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS VIDEO]
-----------------------------------------------------------
This episode was called, “BECOMING AWARE!”
● An internet search shows that people are asking “What are the 4 types of awareness?”
● 1) Environmental awareness, which is the awareness of body language. 2) Emotional awareness, which is to avoid reactiveness. 3) Judgment awareness, which is overcoming bias. 4) Ingrained thought patterns, which is challenging beliefs and perspectives.
● According to an article from www.chopra.com, one of the ways we become aware, even become spiritually aware, “is to have a daily meditation practice. Meditation is about slowing down, going within, and taking time to be silent and still. It disconnects you from the chaos happening in your life and lands you in the present moment—right here, right now.”
● There is nothing wrong with meditating after this manner, just like to let go of the junk that happened in your day, and taking a moment to focus on your relationship with the Lord. Awareness means for a person to have or show realization, perception, or knowledge.
● From www.biblehub.com, the Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary says, to become AWARE is defined as: a) be watchful, vigilant or on one’s guard against danger or difficulty. b) be apprised; informed; cognizant; conscious; as if one was aware of the enemy’s designs.
● While I am not focusing on any other enemy than that of the unrenewed thoughts in our minds, the fact is that we need to become aware of who Father is, and who we are. For me, to become aware is to wake up to the truth that has always been the truth from the time of our origin.
● Hebrews 6:1-6 (TPT) says, “1 Now is the time for us to progress beyond the basic message of Christ {the Word [Logos] refers to the Eternal Christ in the beginning or in eternity past} and advance into perfection. The foundation has already been laid for us to build upon: turning away from our dead works {or, useless deeds} to embrace faith in God, 2 teaching about different baptisms, impartation by the laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 So with God’s enablement we will move on to deeper truths. 4 It is impossible to restore an apostate. For once a person has come into God’s light, and tasted the gifts of the heavenly realm, and has received the Holy Spirit, 5 and feasted on the good Word of God, and has entered into the power of the age that is breaking in {or, the age that is about to come}, 6 if he abandons his faith, there is no use even trying to lead him to repentance. By their sin of apostasy they re-crucify the Son of God, and have publicly repudiated him.”
● When we talk about Awareness, or Awakening, please understand that “Awareness” is not about who attends church and who does not. It is waking up to the fact that you do not have to live in your sin {or, your own mistaken identity} of apostasy {or, renouncing what one believes} that they repudiated or even attempted to renounce Christ. And even if someone could renounce Christ, our Eternal Savior will never leave the creation of God, nor ever forsake them.
● So, how does an “Awareness” take place within the inner man of our soul when we still deal with unrenewed thoughts? First of all, from 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, it seems that Paul is teaching here that not every time the word Lord appears does it mean Jesus Christ. Awareness fits in here at different levels, and one way is that “where the Spirit of the Lord is,” which brings up the question, where is the Spirit of the Lord? Even as the Eternal Christ is One with the Eternal Father, and the Eternal Spirit, and have been One from before the foundation of the universe.
● The second way is from what happens when you acknowledge what has been implanted within you in eternity past. From Ephesians 4:5-6, we can see that Father, Son, and Spirit are One, just as you are One with the Godhead. But that does not mean they do not have their individual functions as appears in various scriptures.
● My encouragement to you is that it is time to “Wake up” into a greater awareness of who you are, as you stare into the mirror of Christ’s reflection and see your true self. I hope you were enlightened and inspired to “dig deep into the well of Father’s mind within” as you watch this video lesson!

"THE BOOK OF JOSHUA - a Type & Shadow" A-81 (03-15-23) Joshua 18:11-14
----------------------------------------------------------
This week’s episode was lesson #81 from Joshua 18:11-15 as we continue in this study.
● Joshua 18:11 (New English Translation) says, “The first lot belonged to the tribe of Benjamin by its clans. Their allotted territory was between Judah and Joseph.”
● From www.preceptaustin.org (v.11) says, “Benjamin, although not the largest tribe of the 7 remaining to receive their lot, was described in considerably more detail than that of the other tribes.” A massive tribe, known by the indication, “son of the right hand.”
● This designation, “son of the right hand” may not have anything to do with the “right hand of God,” but still when it comes to scripture, this phrase is best known for the power and authority of God within you.
● Joshua 18:12 (NET) says, “Their northern border started at the Jordan, went up to the slope of Jericho on the north, ascended westward to the hill country, and extended to the wilderness of Beth Aven.”
● This place, Beth Aven is interpreted as house of vanity. A synonym for vanity is pride and arrogance, and yet is also defined as, “excessive pride in or admiration of one’s own appearance or achievements.” The name Benjamin from the Hebrew word and is used as son of the right hand,” we have already seen a metaphor of the right hand of God within this tribe. The fact is that we all carry within us the “right hand as in a positioning of power and authority of our Creator,” however, never allow what you know and how you live as the creation of God, to cause you to be so arrogant that you want to display anything other than who the Father is.
● Joshua 18:13 (NET) says, “It then crossed from there to Luz, to the slope of Luz to the south (that is, Bethel), and descended to Ataroth Addar located on the hill that is south of lower Beth Horon.”
● Now, Bethel is used as house of God. Yet, Ataroth Addar is interpreted as crowns of Addar, and is used to mean crowns of glory. Metaphorically, this tribe crossed from the slope of Luz, south of Bethel, or the house of God, they then descended to Ataroth Addar used to mean crowns of glory, then located on the hill, that is south of lower Beth Horon, meaning, house of hollowness.
● As we look at the scriptures, there are times when we must take a different kind of look at them such in a symbolic, metaphoric, or allegorical way. What this does is give us another or different view or perspective of the situation.
● Joshua 18:14 (NET) says, “It then turned on the west side southward from the hill near Beth Horon on the south and extended to Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim), a city belonging to the tribe of Judah. This is the western border.”
● Once again, this is a matter of perspective, because when you are aware that you are the house of God, and that you have come to an understanding of wearing a crown of glory, never take for granted of what you have and who created you as His glory, and you will never discover any form of hollowness within your experience in this journey.
● Joshua 18:15 (NET) says, “The southern side started on the edge of Kiriath Jearim and extended westward to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.”
● The Type & Shadow I see in these verses has to do with the progress we make in the human-experience of our journey, and how we climb, and grow in grace, only to allow pride and arrogance to reinforce the mind of flesh, to the degree that a person can begin to feel hollow or empty.
● The bottom line here is that you are the house of the Lord, and you are crowned with His glory. In His eyes, you are already holy and covered with an unstained innocence, and you are the product of His love and nothing will ever change that.
● Like this place, Beth Aven which was interpreted as house of vanity, we must never allow pride and arrogance, as in “excessive pride” which is ones admiration of own appearance, achievements, and more to rule us and slow down the process of excelling in the journey that we are on. The children of Israel were blessed of the Lord because they were the children of His creation, and yet they were always attempting to attain that which already belonged to them. We are who God says we are and we have what God says we have.
● Never seek to strive for things of the exterior, enticed by the mind of flesh, but always realize that your inheritance is your eternal birthright of origin and all things pertaining to life and godliness have been supernaturally implanted within you. I hope you were enlightened and inspired to “dig deep into the well of Father’s mind within” as you watch this video lesson!

“FRIDAY MORNING CONVERSATIONS” (03-20-23) Guest: Pastors Gill & Adena Hodges
-----------------------------------------------------------
This week’s episode of Friday Morning Conversations was part 1 of our conversation called, “TRUSTING FATHER!”
● Wow…what a great start of this series with Pastors Gil & Adena Hodges. To know who God is in terms of our heavenly Father, and then to learn to trust Him can be the journey of a lifetime.
● What does it mean to trust our Father-God, as in the Triune Godhead, as in the Eternal-Father, Eternal-Christ, and Eternal-Spirit, who are the Creator of all?
● Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) says, “5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”
● It seems that this could read that He will make smooth or straight, or simply, straighten out the path He has predestined for you. We all need some straightening of the path we are walking on.
● We are just scratching the surface of what the ramifications mean to Trust, or not Trust Father. But just like “to trust, or not to trust,” there can be benefits or even consequences of our decisions and choices.
● One thing we eye to eye on is that no matter what we have done, or what might have been done to us, we are loved by Father, even when we had no idea of being loved.
● Pastor Gil stated, “This statement, “Trusting Father,” whether a question or a statement ranks right up there with, “Who am I?” “Why am I here?” Do you know who you are, and why you are here?
● Hopefully, we will be sharing with you what it mean to have a deep-deep trust of Father, and how do we get there. As we look at the “Restoration of our Understanding about who HE is,” we want to help you know how all things are restored and what that may look like to you.
● I hope you were enlightened and inspired to “dig deep into the well of Father’s mind within” as you watch this video lesson!

“KINGDOM DYNAMICS” (03-09-2023) Bishop Dr. Bill Hanshew
--------------------------------------------------------------
This week’s episode was called, “WHAT ABOUT TESTS and TRIALS?”
● The fact is that everyone must first accept that God is not your problem. As those who believe in the teachings of the Eternal-Christ, we need to know at least three things about temptation, which are 1) Where temptation comes from; 2) The process of temptation, and 3) How to resist temptation when it comes.
● 1): Where does temptation come from? James 1:12 (TPT) says, “If your faith remains strong, even while surrounded by life’s difficulties, you will continue to experience the untold blessings of God! True happiness comes as you pass the test with faith, and receive the victorious crown of life promised to every lover of God!”
● The NKJV says, “Blessed in the (person) who endures” them, even while facing what might seem like tests and trials. The word “blessed” comes from the Greek word makarios which basically means fortunate, or well off. You are first BLESSED because God created you and called you BLESSED, of which He calls every person created as fortunate, and well-off individuals because we are blessed. The problem is that many equate beings “blessed” based on do I have enough money, food, health, and substance to prove that I am blessed. You are blessed because you are One with the Eternal-Christ within and therefore, “blessed” because God said so, and not because of what things look like around you.
● 2) The Process of Temptation? James 1:13 (TPT) says, “When you are tempted don’t ever say, “God is tempting me,” for God is incapable of being tempted by evil and he is never the source of temptation.”
● This makes it very clear that God is NOT putting you to the test, and therefore, this OFTEN leaves us with ONLY a devil who is trying to tempt you with various tests, and trials. However, to really and truly believe this, one must also believe that a devil has power like God. But is this “devil” referred to as a god or a supreme being of some sort?
● 3) How to Resist Temptation When It Comes. James 1:14-15 (TPT) says, “14 Instead it is each person’s own desires and thoughts that drag them into evil and lure them away into darkness. 15 Evil desires give birth to evil actions. And when sin is fully mature it can murder you!”
● The first thing to notice here is that we need to remember to capture the first thought that rises up in rebellion to truth. Keep in mind that the eternal gift of the Father’s mind has already equipped us and positioned us as overcomes.
● James 1:17 (TPT) says, “Every gift {speaking of our legacy} God freely gives us is good and perfect {or, complete, sufficient, and enough}, streaming down from the Father of lights {or, of shining lights}, who shines from the heavens with no hidden shadow or darkness and is never subject to change.”
● The term, “no hidden shadow or darkness,” also translated “no shadow of turning,” refers to the fact that because you cannot find anything wrong with God, you will find wrong anything wrong with you. As the mirrored Image of God there is nothing in you, even though we take our eyes off of our true created image and find fault based on what we see, hear, and touch.
● James 1:18 (TPT) says, “God was delighted to give us birth by the truth of his infallible Word so that we would fulfill his chosen destiny for us and become the favorite ones out of all his creation!”
● Notice that Father’s plan IS for us to fulfill His chosen destiny within His creation, that He chose for all mankind, which IS to mirror who God is to everyone around you.
● James 1:21 (TPT) says, “So this is why we abandon everything morally impure and all forms of wicked conduct {or, excesses of evil}. Instead, with a sensitive {meek or humble} spirit {mind or, mindset} we absorb God’s Word, which has been implanted within our nature, for the Word of Life has power to continually deliver us.”
● This can also be interpreted as to “save our souls,” which is why Christ came, to save or rescue souls, from the Greek word psychē referring to the rational and immortal soul; as in the mind, will, intellect, and emotions.
● So, while I have skipped over a lot of great information from previous studies, I wanted to give you a glimpse of what this might look like when we think about tests and trials, especially about where they come from, or rather, do not come from.
● The bottom line is that you cannot blame some mythological “satanas” or “diabolos” as the source of where our troubles come from. I hope you were enlightened and inspired to “dig deep into the well of Father’s mind within” as you watch this video lesson!

“THE BOOK OF JOSHUA ~ a Type & Shadow” A-80 (03-08-23) Joshua 18:6-10
-----------------------------------------------------------
Joshua 18:6 (New English Translation) says, “But as for you, map out the land into seven regions and bring it to me. I will draw lots for you here before the LORD our God.”
● The word “presence” as in {in the presence of} or {in front of} simply meant that what they agreed to, was done as if before the Lord or literally in front of Him. In the Hebrew language, there was no word “presence” but was only the way the translators interpreted the word. The actual Hebrew was pānîm {păw–nēēm’} and is interpreted as “the face” to indicate in the presence of God; which is literally how we think of being in someone’s presence as being before the face of someone. To the Israelite people, there was nothing more sacred as to think of themselves as making commitments believing that they were literally and or physically before the face of God.
● Joshua 18:7 (NET) says, “But the Levites will not have an allotted portion among you, for their inheritance is to serve the LORD {or, to serve in the priesthood of the Lord}. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their allotted land {or, inheritance} east of the Jordan, which Moses the LORD’s servant assigned them.”
● It seemed to be a common practice that the priesthood was not necessarily connected to any particular tribe, but served the people, therefore a parcel of land was not allotted to them, but it was clearly known that the priests were well taken care of. While we often associate the priesthood as the ministers of today, for me, there is nothing wrong with ministers being well taken care of, and to own land and more which shows good financial planning, as long as the people around you are not left in poverty from it.”
● Joshua 18:8 (NET) says, “When the men started out, Joshua told those going to map out the land, “Go, walk through the land, map it out, and return to me. Then I will draw lots for you before the LORD here in Shiloh.”
● Since all of us are Kings and Priests of our God, we need to know that our spiritual inheritance, which provides for all things pertaining to life and godliness IS literally found in the Eternal Christ, who is the Fullness of the Godhead in us. Do not be disappointed because your inheritance is not riches and fame, but is Christ Himself, who is, and was, and is still manifesting His knowledge within you by causing an awakening of the revelation of eternal-truth to pour into you so that you can in turn pour it into other people around you. To do that, we walk the land in search of a deeper revelation of truth, and with each discovery, we establish a landmark within us so that what we have discovered by way of revelation will never get lost from our mind again.
● Joshua 18:9 (NET) says, “The men journeyed through the land and mapped it and its cities out into seven regions on a scroll. Then they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.”
● We must look at the fact that they “mapped it and its cities out into seven regions on a scroll,” which could allegorically speak of how our journey through the land of the Christ-mind is an endeavor and desire to reach the perfection of the knowledge of God by understanding truth within us symbolized by the number seven, God’s number for completion and perfection.
● Joshua 18:10 (NET) says, “Joshua drew lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD and divided the land among the Israelites according to their allotted portions.”
● The bottom line here for me is that as God was work together with a people of long ago, even within their own version of their human-experience, their journey was not always easy but they made it through because of the God who dwells within them, even though they often believed that God lived in tents and buildings. Today, we often make the same mistake by trying to get God’s attention as we build elaborate buildings and worship hard, hoping that God will hear our prayers, when the truth is that we have not learned to metaphorically dwell in Shiloh, a place of rest.
● We come to the land of truth as we conquer the wandering thoughts of unrenewed thinking, and then we rest as we continue to walk with the Lord, as we learn to trust and abide in His established eternal truth within. I hope you were enlightened and inspired to “dig deep into the well of Father’s mind within” as you watch this video lesson!

“AS HE IS SO ARE WE” (03-07-23) Panel: Dr. Cindye Coates, and Apostle Daniel Williams
● Topic: “THE POWER OVER YOUR OWN TONGUE”-2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This week’s episode was part 2 of our topic, “THE POWER OVER YOUR OWN TONGUE!”
● James 3:6-8 (TPT) says, “6 And the tongue is a fire! It can be compared to the sum total of wickedness and is the most dangerous part of our human body. It corrupts the entire body and is a hellish flame! It releases a fire that can burn throughout the course of human existence. 7 For every wild animal on earth including birds, creeping reptiles, and creatures of the sea and land have all been overpowered and tamed by humans, 8 but the tongue is not able to be tamed. It’s a fickle, unrestrained evil that spews out words full of toxic poison!”
● When we talk about the power of words, they begin with a thought. However, Jesus said “take no thought for what you eat, what you wear, and what you drink,” or in essence, “do not worry about tomorrow.” How words display the contents of our heart, as to whether we trust our Father or not. The fact is that the tongue can pollute the entire body by what we speak.
● From www.gotquestions.org, “Emotions are powerfully affecting, yet they are vulnerable to injury. James describes the tongue as “a fire” (James 3:6) – and who has not been burned by it? Proverbs 15:4 describes a “healing” tongue as “a tree of life.” As much as love is an action, what would romance be without words? Encouragement often comes through spoken words. So does discouragement. “Reckless words pierce like a sword” (Proverbs 12:18). The wound is emotional, and it is deep. What we say can have a profound effect on others.”
● Proverbs 12:18 (TPT) says, “Reckless words are like the thrusts of a sword, cutting remarks meant to stab and to hurt. But the words of the wise soothe and heal.”
● People go through “hell” in their lives every day, but sometimes this may be due to the power of what we think and what our tongue speaks. I hope you were enlightened and inspired to “dig deep into the well of Father’s mind within” as you watch this video lesson!
