Apostle David Johndrow - Fire And Grace

If you look back over the years of posts here at Fire & Grace, you'll see that God is at work in my life. I am going somewhere, and the next step is pretty well established. I am teaching at the Apostolic School. It is really what I love to do. In addition, it looks like there are some other opportunities as well. I could not be more excited! So what is the new direction? David is taking a new direction in his walk with Christ - no I am not going to become a Buddhist or a recluse, praying night and day - I am being promoted - the Lord has called me to some other areas of the Kingdom which have been on my heart for years! Like any good web site, no one wants to read all the fine print, so here are some FAQs: Q. Are you quitting blogging? A.  Mostly, yes. I have been writing blogs since 2005, and there are now over 1000 of them on the Internet somewhere. I am sure you haven't read them all. In addition my weekly contribution on Kingdom Bloggers, the...

I have some good news today! Here is where I am heading! The good news is after prayer at church my viral panel came back negative, completely healed! As I wrote about a few months back, after being called out with a word of knowledge at church: "someone with a weak heart", 3 days later I had a confirmed echo-cardiogram showing my heart was back to normal. Two healings, two major ones! Wow! I have found that I have two more health hurdles, and I expect the same from God. One of them is potentially serious, while the other is just a knee injury for which I am getting and MRI for later today. You can pray for both issues if you like. The other good news is that I am down 60 pounds from working out, and eating a bit differently. I have 25 to go. Here are 5 1/2  things I am looking forward too: 1 Buying new shoes that tie, now that i can see my feet. 2 Putting on my old 32x34 black jeans. 3 Not wearing 40x32 pants...

I started this post years ago, and it caught my eye again. I am need of a post, and this one was almost done.  To listen to a traditional evangelical preach the Gospel, we are quickly aware of the following points. - We are all sinners (Romans 3:23) - We all need a personal Savior: Jesus to be exact. (John 14:6) - The Bible is law and our guide to God's will. (2 Timothy 3:16) Those particular points ask the following questions: - What is sin, and who says so? - What happens when we sin after we are "saved" and have a personal relationship with Jesus? - Why does it seem OK for some to sin? What Is Sin? 1 John 3:4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. Sin is breaking the Law, missing the mark set by God. The word "sin" is a translation of the Greek word "hamartia" which means to miss the mark. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Religious tradition labels many things as sin which the Bibl...

Don't you find it interesting that a lot of Christians see ministry as a vocation? I belong to a Christian discussion group on Linked In and there was a big to-do about all this. It did make me think, why do people get in the God business any way? Are there folks in ministry that God did not call? Are their folks in ministry that he did call, and they are dormant because they don't fit the religious molds of the church? Here is what David thinks about all this: The indicators of calling are spiritually discerned. If someone is called they would know it in their spirit. For others to recognize the call - in particular a very young person (IE: King David) - it would have to be revealed by the Spirit. I teach about being called in our 5-Fold School of Ministry. Here are some of the points I believe are the building blocks of "calling.". - Ministry is not a vocation. - Ministry is not a position. - Ministry is not a title. (I think that some folks have concentra...
