I help people answer some basic yet DEEP foundational questions about life lived as a Christian.
I also offer very useful and practical products to help solve our common Our Part to Play Practice and Fruit Problems as Christians in the form of my original “Your Life In 3D” Life Planner System.
A ministry of Christ is Personally given to us by the King of Heaven Himself according to our own “measure of Christ’s gift” (see Ephesians 4:7-16).
Anyone serving Jesus and His “church” knows and gladly accepts Jesus is still, today, leading His own “church” into His “way”, His “truth” and His “life” (Colossians 1:13; John 14:6-7). We know our “measure of Christ’s gift” too.
We who have a “ministry” of Christ are, therefore, serving Him by serving you too who are also called out of this world to become “not of the world even as I am not of the world” as Jesus explained it in John 17:13-26. That is the very definition of His Spirit led “church” which may just be different from someone else’s human led “church” expected “fruit” (2 Corinthians 11:2-4; 13:5).
If you or any other “Christian” are following someone else than Jesus the Christ “first place in everything” (D1), including “abiding” in His Gift (D2) of His “righteousness” (Matthew 6:33; 16:24-28; Philippians 3:17-21; Galatians 4:19-5:18), you may just run into the SCARIEST situation with Jesus I have ever read about in the Bible in Matthew 7:21-23!
I do everything I can do to help prevent that deception of where you and your loved ones really stand with Jesus regarding any “lawlessness” in His Kingdom Problem by sharing Jesus’ Gospel of His Kingdom as the largest context for our “Life In 3D” and His Gospel HisStory. I teach you that HisStory has always been about a King and His Kingdom and a Rebellion in His Kingdom that will one day find two very different spiritual Paths leading to two very different spiritual conclusions (John 18:33-37; Matthew 7:13-27; Revelation 20:10-15).
I also personally identify with Paul’s explanation of our “ministry” of Christ callings in Galatians 1:10-16 and 1 Corinthians 4:1-5. I identify with Paul’s example in the Bible because it confirms many of my own Personal encounters with and lessons learned from Jesus in my own Personal relationship with Him and the Father “in spirit and truth” over the years. Learn how to develop your own Personal Relationship with Him in what I call GOOD HABIT #1 here at Pokyra.
We learn from Jesus’ teachings and practices that we are to be “delivered from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,” or “Christianity” simply will NOT WORK (Colossians 1:13-18).
By not “working” I mean the various answers many “Christians” give when asked if Jesus’ Primary Example for a “Christ”ian is still literally relevant in their daily lives today.
Surprisingly, Jesus remains to them something like a Fantasy Sci-Fi Character rather than the non-fiction Person desiring to “know” and Personally relate to His own who literally RECEIVE the same “will of My Father who is in heaven” like He LITERALLY did it for our example (Matthew 7:21-23; 6:8-15; 1 John 2:3-27).
Jesus remains too different from their own reality (1 Corinthians 2:12-3:4) and therefore He is too different to be literally REAL and RELAVENT “on earth as it is in heaven” too.
Let me say it this way: Any church can spiritually kick Jesus out of their “church”, but I guarantee you the “church” He is still leading “first place in everything” can NEVER kick Him out.
The level of literal unbelief in Jesus is astounding in “churches” all over the world!
Too many treat the Jesus many of us have come to know as Paul knew Jesus “on earth as it is in heaven” “in spirit and truth” in 1 Corinthians 1:1-16 as some irrelevant “God is watching us from a distance” ONLY version of Jesus. The fruit of their “faith” appears to be more comfortable “following” their impersonal, irrelevant Jesus they create in their own image rather than the literal Jesus of the Bible “revealed” to them in First Person (Matthew 11:25-30; Ephesians 1:7-23).
Said another way that you will hear said often here at Pokyra, they appear to be FAILING their “John 6 TEST”. Jesus brings “these things are spirit and are life” DIRECT and IN PERSON from His Kingdom of Heaven and what God is offering to them “in spirit and truth” and in Spirit Person is rejected in favor of their desired “faith” lived “without God in the world” (1 Timothy 4:1; John 6:60-71; Ephesians 3:12; Matthew 7:21-27; 2 Timothy 4:3; John 3:11-12).
Like Jesus said, “you will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:20-23; John 15:1-8).
Ask yourself the same “literal” or “not literal” question Paul asked of the “Christians” he was training in 2 Corinthians 13:5 and you will begin to understand what Jesus “sees” everyday in His “first place in everything” role as “Head” or “Leader” of His own “church” throughout the world (Matthew 23:10; Colossians 1:13-18; Matthew 7:21-23; Revelation 2:1-3:22).
Learn from a devoted Disciple who has experienced much (not all … yet!) of Jesus’ multidimensional example for a Christian with special emphasis on what Jesus said is the MOST IMPORTANT part of His spiritual example for His followers in terms of pleasing God:
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21).
Directly related to Jesus’ warning is how Paul regularly warned people to “do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is” because it is the literal SPIRITUAL PROOF of a “spirit and truth” Personal relationship daily going on with the Father (Who “is spirit” and literally dwells “in heaven” – Matthew 6:8-15) just as Jesus taught it and modelled this 3D Personal Relationship with the Father in John 4:19-26 and 14:1-17:26.
This all means Christianity will NOT “work” as Jesus Practiced it in all 3D’s with His Father with its intended “fruit” lived “on earth as it is in heaven” each day if you don’t START with Him on His terms first (Matthew 16:24-28) and then CONTINUE with Him as He taught all His Disciples in the famous Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:8-15; Colossians 1:13).
I help you with that STARTSTORY and CONTINUEDSTORY with Jesus until you too can see for yourself the “fruit” of “the will of My Father who is in heaven” and His Spirit at work both “in you” and discernibly coming “out” of your own Life In 3D.
Jesus said, “By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples” (John 15:8).
If you lack the “proof” you no doubt also lack the “confidence” and fearless unshakeable “faith” of a devoted Disciple of Jesus. This is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL “fruit” to discern in your own life (Hebrews 10:35-12:29!
If your experience with “Christians” is anything like mine, you will notice that not everyone has a “faith” for the “fruit” coming out of Jesus’ life to be literally coming out of their own life today. Furthermore, the “fruit” of “fear” is normally the most obvious “proof” of a “Christian” life being still being pursued and built on the same insecure “sand” anyone else is building upon in this world rather than the secure 3D “rock” “foundation” as Jesus taught it in Matthew 7:24-27.
But as John the Baptist once famously declared challenging us all about this most important TEST of anyone’s faith in Jesus, “… bring forth fruit in keeping with repentance; …” … know that I too teach you here at Pokyra how to develop THAT kind of fearless “faith” that Jesus declares must return to anyone claiming to be part of His “church” He is leading “first place in everything” (Colossians 1:13-18).
Neglect it or reject it and you might just have some Big Problems going on with the King of Heaven right now and on that Final Day (Matthew 7:13-27)!
We who now belong to and daily “follow” the King of Heaven solving all our Big Problems for us by His Gift and ruling our lives “first place in everything” by His grace and truth, are paradoxically living many mysteries Jesus experienced in the Bible in 3D.
For example, we too are “sent” by Jesus into the world just as He was “sent” by His Father into the world. Yet just like “light” is absolutely different than “darkness” we too are “light” “not of this world” even as He is “light” “not of the world” (John 17:13-20; 1 John 1:5-2:6).
What does that even mean in real Practice and expected Fruit coming out of our lives?
It’s obviously a spiritual reality meant to be RECEIVED by those “who are spiritual” (1 Corinthians 2:1-16; 3:1-4:5).
For example, what does it mean that we now SPIRITUALLY belong to His mysterious multidimensional “one body, one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all” (Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 1:13-18)?
I teach you what it practically means to “abide” in Him and to study Jesus’ life like a serious Disciple learning to, “walk in the same manner as He walked” (1 John 2:3-6). Soon you too will be making better sense of it from Jesus’ own perspective which is still that SAME perspective He first revealed to His original Disciples and now is revealing to us today as His devoted Disciples (1 John 2:3-6; 2:26-27).
I teach you how to put it into real Practice with expected “good” Fruit too during your time spent here at my Pokyra.
Paul always defended ONE Jesus, ONE Spirit of God and ONE Gospel of Jesus throughout his ministry found in places like 2 Corinthians 11:2-4. I do this too here at Pokyra.
My largest context for life is always what Jesus taught us what that all means. I believe, practice and teach that ALL of Jesus example is relevant and available to His own Disciples who have given their 100% devotion and loyalty to obey Him and follow Him on His terms first (Matthew 16:24-28; Galatians 2:20).
The mid-1980’s is about the time Jesus first taught me His Gospel with this “keys of the kingdom” challenge to me in my living room as a frustrated new Disciple, “If I did it, you can do it!” I have never looked at what it means to be a “Christian” living life here “on earth as it is in heaven” from any other foundational perspective ever since.
This learned lifestyle and training Jesus teaches His own Disciples (Luke 6:40; 1 Corinthians 2:12-16) has led to some very practical wisdom as a student of life in what I like to refer to simply as the 3D’s example of Jesus.
The 3D’s are just a simplified way to explain His multidimensional life example.
I offer a comprehensive Glossary of terms at the Subscriber website to help explain anything new found here at Pokyra. So, just in case you are having trouble following along with where I am going with a given new cultural term, don’t worry! I often reference just about everything I teach using those familiar to all of us Bible sources for “truth” we Christians have used for centuries.
You will find that I use the Bible as my Master Jesus used “the Scriptures” in John 5:39-47 yet still always relying on the Spirit of Truth to interpret the Bible as God Himself “Helps” lead each of us into “all truth” (1 John 2:26-27; John 15:26-16:15). I trust God’s ability to lead and guide myself and each of you too into the rest of the story of anything of literally everything of HisStory including “every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:1-11).
Don’t look at me as someone who has already “arrived” as a follower of Jesus just as Paul saw himself in Philippians 3:1-21. Said another way, if Jesus requires “first place in everything” in our life, and He certainly does (Colossians 1:13-18), know that I am still learning to “grow up in all aspects into Him” into what “first place in everything” really means from His BEST EXAMPLE.
Still, I repeat for emphasis, I have received much from Jesus for nearly 4 decades about His important lessons of what it means to be His devoted Disciple as well as His commandments to obey Him and “make disciples” of Him in His famous Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20. I have learned what it means to practically “equip(ing) the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain … the knowledge of the Son of God … speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ” (Ephesians 4:12-15; Colossians 1:18).
I take you on a journey through 3 Portals (see my “3 portals TOURS” link at the top of this Guest Website) to explore Jesus’ Gospel and to follow Him as DEEP as my own faith has been willing to go with Him and His Spirit. Your faith will be challenged as far and as DEEP as your own “faith” will take you.
His Spirit is the ONE and the same “Helper” Paul referenced as our ONE Source for our new life in Christ, “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God” (1 Corinthians 2:12).
Part of “the things freely given to us by God” is the “revelation” of His multidimensional worldview that I am generally “framing” for you inside each of those mysterious 3D’s represented or found in Jesus’ own example.
That means I too am still learning it with you deeper and deeper every day as a devoted Disciple just like anyone else (Ephesians 4:12-15; Galatians 4:19). All I can really teach you is what I have personally experienced for myself. That’s it. Anything else lacks the power of personal experiential knowledge.
He taught and is still teaching us as His Disciples like He did in Matthew 13:9-58.
This means multidimensionally learning what Jesus described as, “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world” (Matthew 13:35). How awesome is THAT!
I teach you what I have received from Him in both word and deed and expected “fruit” regarding all kinds of DEEP foundational answers about multidimensional eternal spiritual and temporal earthly life. Get started right away by checking out, for example, the awesome treasures of 3D truth to be found in Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 7:12-27 and 5:48-7:11.
Know that I don’t try to get people to “follow” me (Kehrt) at all but Jesus “first place in everything”. I believe Jesus is still sovereignly and autonomously leading His own “church” by Himself from His throne in Heaven whether other Christians choose to believe it and RECEIVE it today or not (see Colossians 1:13-18; Colossians 3:1-4; 1 John 2:26-27).
Again, what you will be experiencing here at Pokyra are the foundational things I myself have been seeking and ultimately RECEIVING from Him daily, weekly, monthly and seasonally (every year since the mid 1980’s). Learn them just as I have learned to receive from Him as my Primary Model of how to interpret EVERYTHING I do (as best I can) “in the same manner as He walked” (1 John 2:3-6).
Learn the mystery of what it means when I say,
“I personally choose to live at the foundations of Christ but build both my spiritual and earthly life upward (maturing and growing) according to my own faith to do so.”
It’s basically what Paul wrote about in 1 Corinthians 3:1-4:5. I am simply using my own words and my own experiences to describe much the same thing here at Pokyra.
For example, you will be learning what “the foundations of Christ” means to me when discovering my 5 Practice Pillars I Personally received directly from His “mouth” (Matthew 4:4) as a young Disciple (Galatians 1:11-12).
These Practice Pillars are like “keys to the kingdom” (Matthew 16:19; Luke 10:17-24) and truly are like never ending Direction Wells to daily Dig with Jesus that never bottom out. I don’t believe they will this side of Heaven when pursued in a Personal relationship with God’s Spirit who is still leading His own “into all truth” like Paul and John explained in 1 Corinthians 2:12-16 and 1 John 2:26-27.
This Personal relationship approach “in spirit and truth” to both “knowing” and studying my Master Jesus’ model for a Christian keeps me always GOING DEEPER in all those 5 Practice Pillars as well as the 3D’s He lived first for our example of how it all works multidimensionally “on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:8-15: 6:33).
He did it for about 33 earthly years from His awesome earthly birth by the Spirit of God to His triumphant resurrection from the dead and ascension back to Heaven.
Jesus now sits on His Throne at the right hand of His Father in Heaven (now “Our Father …” too – Matthew 5:48-6:15) where His own devoted disciples each day focus our faith and devotion to His Person each day as Paul described in Colossians 3:1-4.
We now “live in the light” just as Jesus lived “in the light” of God’s Spirit (Ephesians 5:13-17).
This “light” from His Spirit Helps us just as Jesus promised He would “Help(er)” us into “at all times in the Spirit” Discovering more, Believing more, Remembering more and most importantly RECEIVING more (also explained “applying”) of anything of “everything” found in His foundational truths.
Disciples of Him have found that His foundational truths are for real-time practice in all our Priority Area relationships we spend most if not all our limited time with while living here on earth (1 John 1:5-7; John 4:20-26; 15:26-16:15).
I help you with THAT and much more here at Pokyra!
So, here is quick summary of how Pokyra works:
Visit mine to get some inspiration but always seek to “grow up” into the Real You now abiding in your Master Jesus and who you were “born” to become every step of the way in all 3D’s!
You have your own unique “Story” being driven by HisStory (a.k.a. “the will of My Father who is in heaven” – Matthew 7:21; John 4:32-34) and I have mine. I honor your own unique Story and your own “secret” “food to eat” from God you are receiving for you and yours at all times during your time spent here at Pokyra. I view it as part of Jesus’ commandment in Matthew 7:12:
‘Therefore, however you want people to treat you, so treat them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.’
I help people discover a more PRACTICAL and less traditional ‘religious’ approach toward practicing your life as a Christian in your own home.” – Kehrt Chestnut
