FIRE On Your Head

Faith Isn’t Closing Your Eyes

Steve Bremner — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 10:08:47 +0000

This is the message Dr. Michael L. Brown preached during the last night of the Fire For Life Summer School 2007. Faith is not closing your eyes to reality; it’s taking hold of the higher reality - listen to this message to fan into flame the promises God has spoken over the Netherlands–or apply these principles in whatever country or situation you find yourself desiring to see God spread revival and revolution.

Don’t forget to check out Dr Brown’s radio show, In The Line of Fire, airing live, Mon-Fri, 7:00-8:00 PM EST. You can listen to the streaming audio at wtru.com, and you can call in with questions or comments at 1-866-34TRUTH. Or visit www.revolutionnow.org.

Episode 30: Can Satan cast out Satan: The Florida Healing Outpouring

Steve Bremner — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 05:15:47 +0000

How could we jump on the blogging and podcasting bandwagon and NOT include an episode devoted to the hotly debated and controversial Lakeland Revival aka The Florida Healing Outpouring? Join Dan Slavin & Steve Bremner this week as we share testimonies, discuss some of the concerns and criticisms, and Steve shares first-hand experience from attending for himself. Are Todd Bentley’s tattoos really demon-inspired? Do signs and wonders really happen today? Is it possible or normal for Christians to have angelic encounters? Join us as we begin a discussion on these hot topics of the hour.

What Is In Your Hand?

Steve Bremner — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:39:10 +0000

This is a session with Jerome Ocampo recorded at last year’s Fire For Life Summer School.

Merely knowing your purpose for a generation alone is not enough–you have to do something with the tools God’s given you–the rod in your hand. If you don’t have anything in your hands, then how will you accomplish your purpose? Purpose and calling brings destiny; what is in your hand and what is in your heart?

Attitudes of Submission

Steve Bremner — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 13:31:30 +0000

This is a message Mrs. Tobi Peters taught at least year’s Fire For Life Summer School, on attitudes of submission to authority, culture, leadership and demonstrating godly character.

How can we change the nations and spread a Jesus Revolution if we don’t have our own lives in order?

A powerful teaching.

God’s Strength Made Perfect In Our Weakness

Steve Bremner — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 11:48:11 +0000

This is a message Dr. Michael Brown preached at last year’s Fire For Life Summer School. We are so used to putting our confidence in political power and democracy instead of God and prayer, but we’re never going to change the nation by the arm of the flesh. If God had to tell Joshua and Paul to fear not, then maybe He needs to tell us also.

Episode 28: Divine Healing

Steve Bremner — Tue, 27 May 2008 17:47:10 +0000

This week, the sacred cow killing continues as we tackle some theological questions we’ve been asked about divine healing, including: If God wants to heal, then how come He cursed people with sickness and disease in the Old Testament? Were some of the healing commands God gave the disciples only for them to do in their generation? Does Matthew 7:21-23 teach that healing ministers are apostate? Does healing the sick really interfere with God’s sovereignty? How does sowing and reaping play a part in sovereignty and divine healing?

Holy Spirit: More Than a Reservoir

Steve Bremner — Sat, 24 May 2008 18:14:57 +0000

This is a message Steve Bremner preached in Tarma, Peru on May 22nd/08 with Spanish interpretation. The subject is the Holy Spirit and specifically speaking in tongues and what doing it for extended periods of time unlocks in your Christian life. There’s a LOT more than just having Him dwelling inside of us…

Steve Bremner — Fri, 16 May 2008 14:40:32 +0000

Another session with Jerome Ocampo from last year’s Fire For Life Summer School.

Out of a whole generation, Joshua and Caleb were the only ones who got to enter the Promised Land. We have so many youth camps where young people go to, then lose their fire and go back to normal again – having more youth camps isn’t the trick, but sustaining the fire. It’s not how you start that matters, but how you finish.

Can we start a revolution if people are only in it for the first few weeks?

Episode 27: Is It Always God’s Will To Heal?

Steve Bremner — Tue, 06 May 2008 09:45:01 +0000

God is restoring power evangelism to the Body of Christ in this hour, so join us as we provide Scriptures to help anchor you in the subject of divine healing, and leave you no excuse for not stepping out and laying your hands on the sick.

Does God really keep people sick in order to teach them a lesson? Does God really withhold healing from anyone who seeks Him for it? What about those godly people who’ve sought God for healing but never got it, and even died in some cases? Does Scripture really teach that God gives us something different than what we ask Him for? Join us for a sacred cow slaughterhouse as we go through LOTS of Scripture on this one area.

Steve Bremner — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:21:52 +0000

This week we are privileged to have author and itinerant speaker S.J. Hill joining us, whose all-consuming passion is to see the Church come to an understanding of the beauty of God’s incredible personality. We sit down over Skype with him and talk about the heart of Father God, and ask him questions regarding these issues that he’s so passionate about sharing.

Episode 25: There’s Life In The Blood

Steve Bremner — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 04:10:18 +0000

Is divine healing some special extra thing only certain believers with a lot of faith are able to get, or is it available to all believers? Do you have to get the sin out of your life first before God can heal you or use you to heal others? What is the atonement? Join us as we barbecue some sacred cows about healing, and do our best to convince you that God doesn’t play favorites with his children on this matter. Summer school update: we have one confirmed speaker. Listen to find out who it is, click here if you’d like to register. Also expect a bit of a hiatus until June in terms of how often new Fire On Your Head episodes get posted, as Steve will be in Peru for 6 weeks.

Wartime Mentality

Steve Bremner — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 04:38:01 +0000

Download this message from Jerome Ocampo, spoken at the Fire For Life Summer School in 2007, Austerlitz, Netherlands. Unless we change our mentality and lifestyle, we will be setting ourselves up for failure; Satan is not merciful – he doesn’t want to hurt you, he wants to kill you. Many Christians are like Peter – they have no clue and have not left their comfort zone to know how ill-prepared they are for the cause. Satan has lulled many to sleep in peacetime to be blind and comatose to the war we are in.

Episode 24: Does Genesis Really Matter To The Faith?

Steve Bremner — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 10:49:08 +0000

Back by popular demand, Dima and Auke return for a discussion on why understanding the creation vs. evolution debate should matter to the believer. Does it matter if the days of creation are literal, or allegorical? Does it make a difference to the rest of our doctrines if we don’t view Genesis as history? Join us for what will also serve as the first episode of Dima & Auke’s podcast, “Battle For Reality“. Find out how Genesis is actually key to winning our nations for Christ and removing roadblocks from many peoples’ hearts in our generation and culture.

Episode 23: Waiting on God

Steve Bremner — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 05:18:41 +0000

We continue our spiritual disciplines series with one more entry. This week Dan and Steve discuss the process of waiting on God. Sometimes we feel Him everywhere in our life, other times the heavens seem made of brass and like He couldn’t be further away. Join us as we plow through some Scriptures and talk about how this relates to our spiritual lives on a practical basis. We also cover some brief updates. Hope you all had a great Easter Weekend.

8 Things The Church Could Learn About Changing Society From the Gay Community

Steve Bremner — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 23:49:52 +0000

A message Dr. Michael L.Brown, president of FIRE School of Ministry, and director of The Coalition of Conscience preached at the FIRE For Life Summer School 2007 in Holland on eight things The Church could learn about changing society by looking at how the homosexual movement did it. The gay and lesbian agenda has brought about radical change in society without the Holy Spirit. Imagine what the Body of Christ could do if we were unified as believers to bring about a Jesus Revolution.

Episode 22: The Lost The Art of Meditation & Confession

Steve Bremner — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 04:51:05 +0000

Dan & Steve continue their discussion on spiritual disciplines, such as Scripture memorization. What is Biblical confession? What is Biblical meditation? Join us this week and find out why what you always thought these things were is probably different than what the Bible actually teaches—and NOT some weird new age practices. I apologize for the poor sound quality—I used my computer’s internal mic, which picked the fan noise from inside the machine—very difficult to remove properly in editing.

Keeping The Pure Fire

Steve Bremner — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 11:25:12 +0000

Jerome Ocampo preaches a message at the FIRE For Life Summer School 2007 on the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13.

Are you an empty lamp that looks good, but lacks oil–fuel for the fire of God? Listen carefully and learn why form and methodology is not enough to reap the harvest and see our nations changed with the power of God.

Episode 21: Is Spiritual Discipline Legalistic?

Steve Bremner — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 14:13:37 +0000

Join us this week and next as we cover a few spiritual disciplines related to praying in tongues and meditating on the Word of God, systematic Bible study, and Scripture memorization as it helps you build up your inner man. Who knows, maybe you will discover some sacred cows in your life to kill that hold you back from a richer fuller life of obedience to Christ. First of two parts.

Generational Transfer - Recognizing The Seasons

Steve Bremner — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 05:50:12 +0000

This is the first session in a series Jerome gave at the Fire For Life Summer School in 2007. There’s no other generation that can impact the whole world like this generation. The generations of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob resulted in Joseph ruling the land; we’ve not had a transfer from the generations in the last 100 years since Azusa and Whales.

Listen to this message by Jerome Ocampo about why a transfer needs to take place, and the generations must join together in order to accomplish in the earth today what God has in mind for this generation—or miss it altogether.

Episode 20: Being Led By The Spirit

Steve Bremner — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 14:00:50 +0000

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (Romans 8:14). It’s a common catch-phrase used in many charismatic circles, but is the way “being led by the Spirit” commonly taught really biblical? What is the difference between being led by the Holy Spirit, and having the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16), or being a doer of the Word (James 1:22)?

Join us for an especially important sacred cow that needs to die or at the very least be re-examined for merit.

Stand with Israel

Steve Bremner — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 18:18:45 +0000

Called By God To Do Great Exploits

Be sure to check out this intercession-related teaching by Tommi Femrite, recorded at the Fire For Life Summer School 2007, in the Netherlands. We hear repeatedly, that this generation is a “Joshua” generation or “Daniel” generation and so forth, but what does that mean and why are those names important? If you’re sitting at a desk, be sure to grab your Bible and plow through this study, and find out also just what is a Caleb spirit/mentality.

Episode 19: Has A Rapture Mentality Short-Changed Our Generation?

Steve Bremner — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:01:31 +0000

Don’t let the title fool you–this is not specifically an end-times theology podcast. Has the escapist mentality of the generations of Christians before us “waiting for the Rapture to happen” caused distrust of this current generation towards leadership in the here and now? If we believe things are only going to get worse, do we have any hope to see a move of God take place in our generation if we think we’re going to escape “any minute now”? Join Dan & Steve this week as we discuss how negative expectations of the end-times have really hindered the Church from truly stepping out and believing for God to do big and mighty things–TODAY.

We also give you updates on the latest with the national day of prayer in The Hague, and tackle a few other sacred cows on the popular Calvinistic view of God’s sovereignty. Check it out and be challenged!

This is a message that Jerome Ocampo spoke in Rotterdam at the Firehouse. This was a day after a meeting where Dutch leaders came together to hear Frank Pot & Jerome Ocampo present the vision for a national day of prayer in the Netherlands.

This message is an encouragement about what God is doing around the world and a challenge to embrace what God wants to do in our country. God is moving among the youth worldwide and the Netherlands in no exception. Will you lay down your life to see God move?

Episode 18: Money, The Root of All Sacred Cows?

Steve Bremner — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 20:50:19 +0000

How could we have a sacred cow barbecue and not include one of the most controversial topics of all in The Church–MONEY? This week we tear apart a coupe of typical “offering verses”—passages misquoted and used to manipulate the flock of God into giving. Is tithing biblical? Does entering the ministry mean you’ve taken an oath of poverty? Is poverty a sign of spirituality? Is wealth?

Episode 16: Should False Prophets be Stoned?

Steve Bremner — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 16:42:45 +0000

The sacred cow barbecue continues, as Dan and Steve discuss some more unchallenged doctrines in the Body of Christ at large. This week: has knowledge really passed away, along with all the other gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor 13:8)? Should prophets who are wrong only 1% the time be stoned as ‘false’ prophets?

Join Dan and Steve as they begin a series on sacred cow theologies and doctrines in the church. What are they and how do we recognize them? Is “seek the Giver, not the gifts.” really written anywhere in the Bible? Do we really have the freedom to ignore the Old Testament because “we’re not under the law but under grace?” Or is everything written in the Old Testament to be heeded with no ifs ands or buts? Was Paul’s thorn in the flesh really a disease and if so/not, what does it matter? Grab your Bible and a pitchfork and get ready to slaughter a couple of cows with us. MOO.

Also included, some important updates regarding the ministry, and we also discuss a few ways to tell the difference between when God is leading you to do something compared to when our imagination is just running wild.

All in all, a must listen.

When You Are Weak, You Are Strong

Not Ashamed

Steve Bremner — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 18:55:43 +0000

I highly encourage listening to this message. “Forwhat can a man give in return for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:37-38.

If they persecuted the teacher, they will do so with the pupil. In an age where ‘pride’ is associated with homosexual lifestyle, why are many Christians living as though they are in the closet with the Gospel?

Join us for a revolutionary message by Dr. Michael L. Brown from the 2006 FIRE For Life Summer School. We are in a dangerous place when we’re trying to make the world ‘like us’ instead of being a light in a dark place and living out the Gospel message.
