DNA contains genetic information or instructions. In a healthy organism, the DNA gets "turned on" and expressed. The design of the DNA will manifest unless there is a mutation or disease which suppresses the accurate expression of the DNA. In the history of Christianity, error and negative dynamics have been introduced which have worked against "Apostolic Christianity." But many believe that the Holy Spirit is restoring what Jesus envisions throughout the world today. Takeaways: Thank God that you’ve been born again by the word or seed of God. DNA.

Apostolic Christ-Followers prioritize ministering TO the King. Then they minister FOR the King. Our representation of the King is sourced and sustained in our ministering to the King in worship, prayer, and fasting.

Kingdom power and fruitfulness = exponential power. Kingdom reality lives on an exponential plane. Linear growth is a +1 progression ... 1 becomes 2 becomes 3 becomes 4 and so on.

I believe the Holy Spirit is inviting and prodding Christ-followers today to develop into "apostolic people." It has everything to do with a CHRISTO-CENTRIC faith experience and lifestyle. It's not man-centered. Or me-centered. Christ is the foundation of the Higher Design in our lives. In everything we become. In everything we do. And he's the foundation of the Father's work in our world. If we want to live with brimming, abundant life, a life that is above and beyond ... we must take up our cross and follow Christ. ----more---- See the show notes page for this episode on JesusSmart.com   HIGHLIGHTS Jesus is the Ultimate Master Craftsman. And he invites us to build with him in our Father's world. There is a Higher Design from above which is good, beautiful, and fruitful. Following Jesus is not about being me-centered.

There’s so much wrangling and ballyhoo about theology! What is God like, really? How does he relate to us, and interact with us? What is the Kingdom of God anyway?

There’s more … in the conversation we discuss supernatural guidance (I like to think of it as God-intel), spiritual gifts for today (the abilities of Jesus distributed throughout his Body on earth), plus how challenging times are actually a blessing. It’s in the challenging times that we discover more of who Jesus is TO US, and who he can be THRU US.

A beginner’s mind will open us to new possibilities. “Beginner’s mind” is a concept that comes from Zen Buddhism. I’m not a Buddhist, but this particular concept resonates with me. It’s a mindset, an approach to life that is open, boundless, limitless and infinitely wealthy. ----more---- See the show notes page for this episode on JesusSmart.com   HIGHLIGHTS Our mind easily becomes closed and limiting. We may feel secure and proud in our dogmatism. But it stifles life-force. A beginner’s mind is a beautiful mind. It’s the mind of a child — questing, questioning, welcoming, learning. It is supple and receptive. The key is becoming a child again. Not childish. But embracing fresh beginnings as a child would. Much possibilities overflow in a child’s mind. The mind of a child innovates. A child will figure it out and find a way. The belief level soars, not yet jaded by the world of big-adult “expert” ideas. Jesus spoke of this: “You must become like a child to enter my world, a higher dimension of living with new possibilities.”   JESUS SMART: THE PODCAST Click to receive the Jesus Smart eLetter and keep current with podcast episode releases We’re resolved that Jesus Christ is the most brilliant person to walk the planet!

When you seek the Larger Story of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom, your personal life story works at its highest level. You position yourself for the Higher Design you crave deep down. A key part of this quest is meaningful connections in the Body of Christ. ----more---- See the show notes page for this episode on JesusSmart.com   HIGHLIGHTS Some of the highlights from my conversation with Ronald Smith: Your pathway to your best life design is set within the larger story of the corporate design of the Body of Christ. "Seek first the kingdom, and all of these things will be added to you ...." The Ekklesia: we gather to experience the dynamic of Body Life under the headship of King Jesus. Many who follow Christ have never experienced this. The explosive power of koinonia -- one accord, relating together in unity, caring for others. Over and over in the Book of Acts we see that koinonia is the landing strip for the power of the Holy Spirit. He rests upon koinonia. This raises the ceiling for the extraordinary over Christ-followers.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Do you have meaningful connections in the Body of Christ? Ask the Holy Spirit to connect you -- to place you in the Body of Christ according to His design. This is his prerogative. Walk with people who can help you see more clearly, to enter more deeply into Kingdom life. We believe the Holy Spirit is restoring the Church. Align yourself with this Holy Spirit trend line.

Are you facing a stiff challenge? Or maybe a promising opportunity, but it seems like such a long shot. There are advantages to being an underdog—we’re forced to be creative and innovative. We break out of that limiting “box” to potentially rise to a new level. ----more---- The almost 3000-year-old account of David and Goliath is the perfect underdog touchstone. The ginormous Philistine arrogantly presumed how the life and death contest would play out. But he had no way of knowing what was coming at him! He was about to be taken down by an "underdog!" See the show notes page for this episode on JesusSmart.com (See the Ted Talk and book by Malcolm Gladwell)   DAVID'S SUPER GENIUS Yes, David was a highly skilled "slinger." But when he released that stone, it was really riding on the higher energy of … David’s connection and covenant relationship with God. His faithful lifestyle of intimate worship. The personal victories he was building upon in his private life (he killed the lion and the bear while watching his father’s sheep).   IS THERE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE SEVERED FROM YOUR LIFE? Let’s think about it … what needs to be nullified (listen to the podcast to understand what I mean here) in our lives, or in the world around us? Is it something relationally?
