I stream uplifting innernet podcasts. There I said it! You may think I’m crazy (or that I don’t know how to spell), but that’s okay. Innernet podcasts are so exciting, empowering, and energizing that your opinion of me is not an issue.

What’s an innernet podcast? It’s an inner flow of thoughts, feelings, words, images, and ideas that psychology calls the stream of consciousness.  That phrase was first introduced by William James in his book, Principles of Psychology, in 1890. We all have access to the innernet and its huge array of internal podcasts. Many of them are troublesome. Some however, overflow with peace. I’ve trained myself to continually shut down the tormenting innernet podcasts and to search for and click on the encouraging ones. That’s made all the difference in my life.

I believe that peace-filled innernet podcasts are from God. I work to stay continually logged in to them. They fill me with hope and love as they stream within me day and night.

Here’s some thoughts from the most recent innernet podcasts that I’ve listened to:

Let the Spirit and the Word be heard with the heart!

When Christ-followers gather
And set aside plans and programs,
Structures and systems,
While simply waiting
On God’s Spirit
Something supernatural happens.
Hearts that were far from God
Hear His still small voice speaking
And are strangely warmed
By the reality of Christ’s presence.
As they become attentive to
And begin to humbly obey
His inner prompting,
A divine orchestration
Of Christ’s glory
Manifests among them
And church is transformed
Into Spirit-led ekklesia.

Ekklesia overflows with the joyful attitude of equality before God, open-hearted love and respect for each other, and humble dependency on the presence of the risen Jesus.

Too many Christians have lost the “fun”-damentals of the faith. They’re unwilling to enjoy the presence of Jesus throughout the day with child-like humility and playfulness. (Google: The Joy Of Early Christianity.)

It’s dangerous to make up stuff about Jesus (and to watch stuff that other people have made up about Him). It’s better to stick with what the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit say.
