How Kehrt and His Podcast Can Help You In 3D!

 

Kehrt helps people discover for themselves these forces driving our life through the frames of our individual VALUES.

In doing so, he helps people expose the inevitable, again often mysterious, hidden “values conflicts” you are already having and helps better prepare you for those conflicts you can expect to have in the future with all of your Priority Area Relationships in life. These are those Priority Relationships you spend all or almost all of your real time with each day and each changing season of life.

Learn to practice “More … Peace” with God #1, your Spouse #2, your Family #3, your Work #4, your #5 Neighborhood/Network of relationships and finally a 6th category called simply “Human Culture” (what Humans make or create … NOT God).

Those are Kehrt’s top five Priority Areas Relationships that make up his own “Who I Am!” pursuit more completely than anything else in life. This is his “Kehrt” identity in REAL PRACTICE based primarily on those 5 Priority Areas Relationships … in the order presented. Kehrt’s most important values in life are represented by PA#1, PA#2 and PA#3. They also happen to represent his most meaningful and highest authority/responsibility values found within what most of us call simply our “Home” life.

They are arguably where most of our important or most “Absolute” Values are found too. So, the way he has prioritized these 6 categories of “relationships” helps him pursue a more honest and more lasting Relationship with what matters MOST by simply identifying and better understanding (and treasuring) his own Absolute Values, his Mixed Values and his own growing category of Non-Absolute Values too. 

Then expect to benefit from Kehrt’s many years of personal experience and study of Human Cultures (his 6th category of relationships), including the field of Conflict Mediation going on inside the smallest setting of our Homes all the way up to the much larger settings of International Conflict Management.

Kehrt became a Disciple of Jesus while pursuing a B.S. in Social Sciences with a Concentration in Cross-Cultural Studies at Cal Poly State University (SLO) back in the mid 1980’s. He returned to University again as a more mature Disciple of Jesus and “student of life in 3D” as a Master’s in Diplomacy student (Concentration International Conflict Management at Norwich University) in the 2000’s. Then, a Mediation certification in 2007 set Kehrt on a very practical “path” to helping himself and other people become better at managing their own inevitable Values Conflicts in life.

All of our relationships have their own Values and Values Conflicts are a normal and often tricky part of everyone’s life.

So, for Kehrt, it became just a natural and normal “conversation” to talk with God about these many Values and Values Conflicts topics all humans deal with every day (again, see those “More … Peace” 6 categories above) while acknowledging that most people simply don’t take many these conversations back to God in prayer and indepth study to find His answers to, for example, “What does God create vs. What does a Human create” conversations about life. 

If talking with God about separating the “What God creates” from “What Humans create” Worldview was actually going on for all of those above mentioned 6 categories (again, Kehrt calls them Priority Area Relationships here at Pokyra) chances are they likely weren’t always practiced in much in-depth practice for some very understandable reasons. The reasons might simply include the obvious reason that they weren’t serious Social Science or Diplomacy students at University like Kehrt was in his own unique 7-8 year student journey pursuing these more indepth conversations with God.  

But now through Kehrt’s Podcast you too can choose to join in on these important conversations with God about your own life and your own Priority Area Relationships too!

But what makes Kehrt’s “More Partners for Peace” Podcast special or unique compared to what others are talking about?

Like any good student of Mediation understands quite well, the FRAMING of any conversation about anything in life depends on the specific WORLDVIEW of those having the actual conversation. Whose WORLDVIEW do you believe “frames” the conversation BEST? Why is that your chosen WORLDVIEW too?

For example, Kehrt attempts to start any conversation NOT with his own “glasses” of life or your “glasses” of life or anyone else’s (any “mere man’s” Worldview of life – 1 Corinthians 2:1-16; 3:1-4; 4:1-5) as his chosen BEST STARTING PLACE for a given “conversation”. As a serious Disciple of Jesus, of course, Kehrt always first attempts to honor Jesus’ “first place in everything” (Colossians 1:13-18) multidimensional LIFE EXAMPLE as God’s own gold standard Life Example for “all things” or “all truth” (John 14:5-17:26).

He likes to call the Worldview and life of a devoted Disciple of Jesus simply, “Your Life In 3D,” here at his Pokyra (Matthew 6:33; 6:31-34; John 17:1-26)! You can call it whatever you like.

Call the Podcast Kehrt’s own unique Worldview developed with God just as your own Worldview reflects the environment you live or lived inside as a new Disciple of Jesus. We all are having our own individual “conversations” with God but not all choose to deliberately and consciously START and END their discussions about “life” always pursuing Jesus’ “first place in everything” STANDARD for the BEST “framing” of the conversation at hand. The proof is always in the “fruit” of the discussions (1 Timothy 6:3-6 and 1:1-6). A disciple of Jesus learns that not all “conversations” going on in the world are fruitful but instead can quickly become “fruitless” when Jesus’ “sound words” and His “first place in everything” Worldview is neglected or even rejected (1 Timothy 1:6).

One of those many conversations Kehrt was having with God was specifically about how to become a better “Partner for Peace” in life.

What’s that? The idea is simple:  become a seeker of Peace wherever you can find it (and with whoever is willing) and life has the potential to generally be more peaceful … even in a “fallen” world still at spiritual war with God the Creator of us all and specifically King Jesus and His spiritual dimension Kingdom of Heaven … “not of this world” (John 18:36-37 and 17:1-26).

More Partners for Peace is about becoming a better “Partner” in a given Relationship.

What Relationships in your life could use MORE Peace?

This pursuit includes learning the important skill of discerning those “False Absolute” Values in your life you could transfer (if willing to transfer them … as many as possible) into the “Non-Absolute” Values category. This category of Values is where more informed, tolerant, and yes, more peaceful relationships can be realized when those False Absolutes are first identified and then successfully transferred. What’s left is a more honest pursuit of a more lasting Relationship that honors someone’s Absolute Values, their Mixed Values and their growing category of Non-Absolute Values too.

The “conversation” all starts with our Relationship with God (Priority Area Relationship #1). The quicker we agree with God about “everything” the better our Relationship with God. This is where becoming a devoted Disciple (student) of our Master Jesus comes in to teach, transform and train us about God’s own always FAITHFUL “way, truth and life” about “all things” (John 14:5-17:26). Sounds logical, right? The point is that He is 100% Trustworthy. Who can disagree with God? This is not even a question for a devoted Disciple of Jesus Christ (John 1:18; Luke 6:40; 1 John 2:3-6; 2:20-27).

But we imperfect humans won’t always “agree” with each other on “everything” for some obvious and some not so obvious reasons (Jeremiah 17:5-10). Often, our Values contain the hidden reasons for our conflicts and broken relationships in life. Better discerning or knowing our Values can help us to better 24 hours a day spiritually “do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1). I am talking about the practice of spiritual discernment that Paul explained in 1 Corinthians 2:1-16 and Jesus explained in practice in Matthew 4:1-11. Paul explains it in the following way:

“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 2:10).

Just as Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tested by the Devil, that ONE same Holy Spirit who is from God is still leading Jesus’ devoted Disciples into each and every DAY lived here on earth where the Devil’s inevitable tests and God’s own continuing “John 6 type of tests” are played out in real time … again, each and every day of our life lived here on earth.

Read all of Jesus’ example of how spiritual discernment and the sometimes (but not always) mysterious “revelation” of our TRUE values (as God views them in contrast to the FALSE Absolute Values) truly works in real practice in places like Matthew 4:1-11. Then, go deeper into the topic by reading all of Paul’s 1 Corinthians 2:1-16 example of how it works with our Master Jesus and “our Father who dwells in heaven” “Spirit” (John 4:24) even as He is right now sitting at the right hand of the Father in His Kingdom of Heaven still “revealing” the difference to His own Disciples:  “For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.”

But as we more consciously pursue becoming a better “Partner for Peace” we can at least, with a more clear conscience, begin to answer for ourselves like the Apostle Paul once declared, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord.” (Romans 12:18)

Imagine the Great Grace of God forgiving all our Problems in 3D through Jesus’ gracious Gift! Then, imagine the power of a brand new lifestyle of “forgive others” as Jesus forgave us. Learn from Him how to restore more broken Relationships by God’s own power where His Promise, “In Him all things hold together …” (Colossians 1:17), can finally be realized throughout your own Priority Area Relationships in life.

Even Jesus our Primary Model for Life could not guarantee OTHERS would ALWAYS choose to be a “Partner for Peace” with Him and His Kingdom (John 3:11-21). We as Jesus’ devoted Disciples will no doubt experience many of these same “out of our hands” or “out of our control” type of Kingdom of Heaven (D1) intractible conflicts in life too (Matthew 10:32-42).

But we who follow Jesus’ example “first place in everything” can learn from how He “did it” first where the GOAL of a Partner for Peace is not just to WIN an argument or debate or “destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” (Luke 9:55-56)

Separating What God Makes From What Humans Make

Part of the general freedom message of our Master Jesus (His example and His Gospel of FREEDOM – Galatians 5:1) is also one of my favorite topics to teach on that not every Christian talks much about. Again, I don’t blame anyone for not talking about it much … probably because they simply haven’t been pursuing these “truths” about life that maybe a Social Science student in University like me would be pursuing on a regular basis. I mean where I was “talking” with God about certain topics on a deeper basis that maybe they never had the time or interest to talk about with Him because other “conversations” with God regarding their own “life and times” took their place. This means everyone has their own “Worldview” based on their own experiences and their own priorities and circumstances of life.

Kehrt’s Podcast is inviting you to join his ongoing experience and “conversation” with no expectation that you have already been talking to God about some of these topics. The topics are presented mostly in simplified terms that ANYONE can join in … right where they are at!

All topics of FREEDOM from Jesus provided for His disciples are related to each other in some important way because they all relate to that, “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” promise and new REALITY in 3D we get to enjoy like our Master enjoyed it (1 John 2:3-6).

One of my favorite topics to teach disciples started developing inside of me during those numerous wonderful conversations I had with my Master Jesus about the very large topic I like to call, “Separating What God Makes From What Humans Make.”

I am still having much the same conversation with Jesus 40 plus years later studying Cross Cultural Studies, but understandably, the Talks With God have matured quite a bit since then. No doubt yours will too 30 or 40 years from now if you are just starting your own Talk With God. I now get the great honor of helping disciples of Jesus learn the basics of what I learned from our Master during these conversations that any disciple can immediately receive in their own Talk With God.

What is the basic GOOD NEWS I learned from those 5 years it took to get my B.S. degree in Social Sciences (give or take since I took over a decade off from my University for full-time “ministry” and later finished in 2003) regularly trying to separate what God makes from what humans (including Christians) either create or copy in this world?

The GOOD NEWS I learned from Jesus is that His disciples truly can have much more freedom to live MORE of their own cultural Values as they spiritually “abide” in Jesus than they might think.

I mean compared to what you may have learned from Christians who first of all have not fully received for themselves the GREATER freedom benefits of 1 John 4:4 just mentioned above, or possibly never could develop enough faith to practice SEPARATING the “spirit of the world” behind certain parts of human culture with “the Spirit who is from God” (1 Corinthians 2:10-12).

Did you even know that ALL that God created is to be “received with gratitude; for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer” (1 Timothy 4:1-5)?

Did you even know that ALL that humans create, called “culture,” can be used for either “good” or “evil” and can be NEUTRALIZED by that same “word of God and prayer” by replacing any “evil” spirit with the Holy Spirit of God?

It all starts with Jesus’ own freedom Gospel and moves out to address that most important foundational question, “What comes from God and what comes from humans?”

We who receive, “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,” get to enjoy everything people living in the world get to enjoy minus the enslaving power of “evil” Jesus warned us about in John 17:14-19. Jesus showed us how to overcome anything controlled by the “spirit of the world” including all that the Devil Himself can throw at us like He did to Jesus in Matthew 4:1-11.

For those of you still not accepting that this freedom is possible through Jesus Christ, consider this bit of cultural SEPARATION that Jesus practiced with the Devil in that Matthew 4:1-11 temptation in the wilderness. First of all you need to know that when I smuggled Bibles into China in the 1980’s I was well aware that even though they contained something from God, the books themselves were pieces of “human culture” made by humans. The Chinese could destroy these pieces of “culture” in their so-called “Cultural Revolution” and they succeeded to some degree. But they could not destroy what came straight from God’s “mouth” and Spirit and that is why China has one of the most thriving Churches of Jesus Christ in the world today!

Now, back to Matthew 4:1-11. You are aware, if you have read that passage in the Bible, that the Devil was using the words of God or Scripture but the “spirit of the world” was the “spirit” behind the Scripture that the Devil was using AGAINST Jesus (a.k.a. parts of the Old Testament part of the Bible at the time). Is the Bible suddenly “evil” because the Devil used it against Jesus? Never!

Jesus was using the power of the Holy Spirit that led Him into the “wilderness” (Matthew 4:1) and He showed us how to SEPARATE the “spirit of the world” using what I like to call “the rest of the story” of those Bible Scriptures. Jesus Himself had the Mouth of God Himself (His Spirit) to practice what we as His disciples get to practice still today, “in the same manner as He walked” (1 John 2:6). Jesus set the Devil straight and took back those Scriptures for God’s use, “Man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).

Jesus was essentially finishing the Devil’s “evil” and deceptive sentences and in doing so the Devil’s “evil” strategy to hijack the Bible (again, as it was at that time in HisStory) to suddenly NEUTRALIZE it and again use it “for good” and for God.

That’s how I interpret Jesus still today helps us NEUTRALIZE all human cultures in the world. I still make the important distinction that THESE HUMAN CULTURES ARE HUMAN-MADE and not God-made which is a conversation that is very important when SEPARATING man-made “religion” and their “temples” made with human hands from the Words of God and the Heavenly “Temple not made with hands” (Acts 7:48-60).

It may surprise you that human “culture” has never been the “problem” God has with His creation. It was always the “spirit” behind it that made something “evil”. For example, God does not have a problem with, say, a knife that can be used to both cut someone’s food or cut someone’s throat to murder them or a computer with internet that can be used to both visit my Pokyra Services for serving Your Life In 3D or for pornography searches and all sorts of “evil” spirited things. Again, it all depends on the “spirit” behind a Christian that makes something free or not free just as it always has been.

God even encouraged His human creation to be like Him, “creative”, until they went a bit too far and started to “worship” their creations as if they were something created by God (Psalm 78:58; Exodus 32:1-35). How often has this been practiced in the religions of Christianity throughout History? I mean what may have started out as NEUTRAL and for “good” was somewhere along the journey transformed into something “evil” instead? This too can happen and it still does today.

I already shared above in passages like 1 John 4:4 what freedom means by receiving Jesus’ greater power of His Spirit and Gift at work in our lives, but what I would like to do in most of the following paragraphs is to explain a bit more detail of what I have learned through the years in my own “HisStory Driving MyStory,” life as His disciple including a bit more of I mean by freedom of culture.

First of all, we have already established the points that culture is created by people in the world and we all know from Paul’s teaching of Jesus in 1 Corinthians 2:5-16 that “the world” has a different “spirit” distinctly different from “the Spirit of God”. Jesus came and brought His Spirit to earth along with His Gift of what He fulfilled for us in the Provision of God to forgive and “save” us from the “sin” at work in “the world”.

The basics of what is going on is that when Jesus transfers us from the “domain of darkness” and its “spirit of the world” we suddenly have the opportunity through Jesus’ Spirit that other generations did not have made available to them without His Spirit sent INSIDE the “new creations” Jesus was creating inside His followers.

Jesus’ followers now had the greatest power “abiding” inside of them (God’s own Spirit) that was greater than “the spirit of the world”. This suddenly changed EVERYTHING for these followers of Jesus and that included how they interacted with “the world”.

If you can picture what Jesus meant by His “I am the light of the world” and then “you are the light of the world” as His disciples then you can immediately understand the GREATER POWER light has over darkness. Try it. Next time you are in a dark room just flip the switch and prove to yourself the truth behind Jesus’ Parable. The consequences of this GREATER POWER of “light” dwelling in His Church on the earth was and remains far reaching to every part of our life lived on earth.

Start with this treasure:  No more “spirit of the world” controlling them meant they had greater freedom to live “in the same manner as He walked” by the Spirit of God FREE from evil influences.

Said another way, Jesus’ followers had suddenly received the POWER from God to be the INFLUENCER rather than the influenced. This was HUGE! Demons were now subject to the “disciples” of Jesus the King of Heaven “on earth as it is in heaven” just as they always were in Heaven (Luke 10:17-24). A new era for humankind was here!

The only way the Devil could get his darkness to have more power in your life than it should is to somehow convince you and other Christians like you, if possible, that what Jesus is offering is NOT something a disciple gets to receive TODAY. The Devil has “Christians” all over the world removing their “power-chords” meant to “abide in” the GREATER POWER of Jesus the “Light of the world” and each and every lie believed by these Christians was COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE if they simply believed and RECEIVED Jesus’ promises.

But as you may have noticed already even today, not all who call themselves Christians take Jesus literally and many (some studies claim over half of American Christians – see Barna Group Study) don’t actually believe in a literal Holy Spirit or literal experiences of Jesus with the Rebellion part of His Gospel (including the Devil and demons).

What happens when a “Christian” takes the literal existence and “walk in the same manner as He walked” OUT OF their Christian faith? I will let you answer that important question on your own. Needless to say, it is absolutely serious in its consequences!

One of those consequences of no longer receiving a literal Holy Spirit is that they miss out on ALL of the promises of Jesus in any experiential knowledge. I mean they don’t “walk in the same manner as He walked” and some imposter “Christian” takes over their view of what is even possible in a world STILL controlled by the Devil and his demons … not taken literally of course. What they all seem to agree with is that there is some “force” of “evil” and guess what became the “bad guy” in the world?

Whatever they saw in human culture they thought was “evil” was the new target of their crusades against “sin” and “evil”. The FREEDOM Jesus had planned for His Christians was stolen from His Church and replaced with a FEAR of “the world” that was NEVER IN JESUS who was supposed to be our Primary Model for a Christian (1 John 2:3-6). How many promises were LOST in the process of losing a literal JESUS and His literal Holy Spirit PRACTICED with FRUIT “in the same manner as He walked”?

That’s what I have been studying since the 1980’s when Jesus revealed both the condition of His Church and His view of our PRACTICE and FRUIT Problem in His Church.

Jesus always had Ambassadors walking the earth that received Him literally and they were those who received the POWER to walk “in the same manner as He walked” FEARLESS and FULFILLED in a fearful and unfulfilled world! I mean when compared to possibly very fearful and unfree Christian “church as usual” environments or simply “worldly” environments of all kinds found in any Gentile culture (non-Jewish culture) as Paul explains in Romans 14:1-15:13.

Again, I learned much of what I am sharing with you simply asking the question, “What comes from You and what comes from people?” in my University days. I was not prepared for the awesome mystery of what was really going on with His Church from His own perspective but I gladly RECEIVED it all as He revealed it to me (Galatians 1:12)!

I trust you can see the seriousness of this part of Jesus’ larger freedom message from His “Gospel” (Mark 1:14-15).

As you do your own Bible study, I encourage you to begin asking God what the apostle Paul was trying to say in Romans 14:4 and then flip the pages to 1 Corinthians 4:1-5 to try to relate it directly to what Paul was trying to say to the Corinthians. I often reference these two teachings together for related reasons I hope you too will find useful for applying to yourself. I hope you learn to apply them to your own freedom to live in ANY Jewish-based or Gentile-based culture in the world.

I believe you too can walk just as free as your Master Jesus walked free in both Jewish and Gentile cultures based on His Father’s Excellent Plan (I call it simply HisStory) to mysteriously bring both groups of human-kind (Jews – God’s People and Gentiles – everyone else) into ONE “Church” He is calling to Himself according to “the mystery of Christ”.

It is a “mystery” to be revealed to any of His disciples and you can read Paul the Jewish “apostle to the Gentiles” and his explanation of “the mystery” as it was revealed to Him in Ephesians 2:1-4:7.

Paul explained the great freedom he had been given from Jesus to live in BOTH the Jewish or Gentile cultural lifestyles “abiding” in the ONE same Master by the ONE Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ. Why not you too?

Have you ever visited a Jewish culture? This could be an experience in a Jewish Synagogue somewhere outside Israel or if you get the chance I recommend visiting Israel.

I recently fulfilled one of my important life goals of finally getting to visit the Jewish homeland of Israel for my 50th birthday. As a Gentile who never lived in a Jewish culture my entire life (I was a beach-boy American growing up in my various California cultures and sub-cultures), I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I visited Israel.

I think all disciples of Jesus should be honoring toward and grateful to the Jewish people for their devotion to God throughout HisStory. I was greatly honored to actually experience a 21st century version of Jewish life in both modern Tel Aviv and modern/ancient parts of Jerusalem. It was a fascinating experience that I would recommend to anyone.

I mean here I was in Tel Aviv, a modern city in ancient Israel, that in many ways honestly reminded me of my Gentile home and cultures in California. There were surfers and beaches and eating fish and chips in a laid-back cultural sea-food restaurant. Then, there was a journey me and my family took by train to Jerusalem. We took a modern Bus to the middle of the ancient Biblical parts of Jerusalem we have read about as Christians for centuries. We took a surprisingly short walk through the Jaffa Gate to the ancient Western Wall. It was surreal leaving me speechless at times as I talked with Jesus by His Spirit living inside of me.

We visited the very sites where King David the God fearing and God loving Jew left his mark on HisStory. We visited the streets where Jesus walked and literally fulfilled every little and big parts of the Jewish Law during His prophesy-fulfilling time in Jerusalem so I as a Gentile could enter into His sacrifice thousands of years later and be “saved by grace” from His Gift (D2). The role the Jewish people and their culture have had in human HisStory is awe-inspiring. I love the Jewish cultures and all that they represent!

My experience in Israel deepened my respect for the ancient cultures of God’s people while at the same time allowed me the freedom of a Gentile to “feel right at home” without missing a beat. I could FREELY walk in both cultures and STILL “walk in the same manner as He walked” by the power of the Spirit of God living inside of me and it turned into one of the best trips I have ever made anywhere in the world.

It was not because Israeli fish and chips was to compare with the wonderful Rock Cod fish and chips I used to cook as a sea-food cook in Morro Bay, California (it wasn’t to compare). It was not because I got to enjoy a Latte sitting on the beach early in the morning watching the waves and in the evening watching the sunset at the Tel Aviv newly developed beach I was at that could have been like any beach boardwalk in California.

It was because I was having “fellowship” with my Jewish Master by His Spirit sent to me from the same Kingdom of Heaven who interacted with those “holy lands” I was now walking in. I knew my Master Jesus always loved His people Israel and know without a doubt He still does. I know He loves me too, a Gentile disciple from California “abiding in” the ONE and only Jewish Messiah! I sensed the great honor of being allowed to be part of the SAME STORY the Jews were part of … the Greatest Story ever … the HisStory of God and His human creation!

I was suddenly impacted by the great FREEDOM I felt to jump into the deep and meaningful Jewish cultures shaped by the “Law” given to Moses and then back out to the world as I have always known it as a Christian. I mean I was living NOW by the same “law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus” that the Holy Spirit of God is making His ONE Church from ALL of God’s creation all over the world (Romans 8:1-39).

I did not feel like a foreigner in a foreign land during my visit to Israel but the reasons had nothing to do with the cultural differences which of course were many. I did not feel like a foreigner because the SAME SPIRIT that was at work in them (whether they acknowledge it the way Jesus wants them too at this point in HisStory is another question yet to be answered) is the SAME SPIRIT at work in me and suddenly I understood Paul’s letter to the Ephesians and the “two groups becoming one” and the “mystery of Christ” and His Church deeper than I ever knew it before.

You can see that I truly love teaching Christians about this mystery of walking just as free as Jesus and His disciples walked free in any environment and culture of the world (Galatians 5:1). I like to share the testimonies of how disciples like Paul walked free in this world in 3D … in the world but not of the world … and the reasons we get to “walk in the same manner as He walked” recorded in the Bible so we all can share them together wherever we live in the world.

Firstly, just imagine the reason Jesus explained that makes all things possible that were not even possible before He came to earth, “that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth,” and secondly because anything in this world SUDDENLY by Jesus’ same Gift and Provision from Heaven can NOW be, “sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer” (John 17:14-19; 1 Timothy 4:1-5)!

If any of us receive His Spirit of TRUTH then you too can be “sanctified in truth” and all that you interact with in this world can supernaturally be “sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer” based on the work of that Spirit of TRUTH Gift from God.

If you can accept it, those two references of John 17:14-19 and 1 Timothy 4:1-5 are all you really need to defend your GREAT FREEDOM to walk free like Jesus walked free in this world … if, of course, you truly are faithful to obey His words and allow His Gift from Heaven provided by God Himself by His Spirit to sanctify anything according to Jesus’ “first place in everything” rule in your life (Colossians 1:13-18; 1 John 2:3-6).

This is all in accordance with God’s promise to Abraham that “God will Provide” (Jehovah Jireh) will come to us from Heaven and provide everything we ever needed in every dimension just as He always intended for His creation. Jesus living inside me and you, if you indeed receive Him by His Spirit, is THAT God will Provide promise fulfilled!

I am without question first a spiritual dimensions Student of Life In 3D. I have learned and applied and I am still learning and applying Jesus’ “first place in everything” absolute rule to every area of my life. It is in many ways a paradox of an immediate process of faith mixed with a sometimes very long process actually taking literally “everything” in my life and BECOMING FREE as I learn what it means to actually make something from “everything” in my life His “first place” in real practice.

I try to consciously do it every day both for the immediate surrender Paul so beautifully practiced of the 100% rule of Jesus over his life in Galatians 2:20, while at the same time discovering more, believing more, remembering more and receiving more of each and “everything” in my life coming under His absolute “first place” rule in real practice. I seek to do something every day even though I am some days more conscious of His rule in my life by His Spirit than others. He rules me directly and Personally by His Holy Spirit sent to guide me into all truth and “every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (John 16:7-15; 1 John 2:26-27; Matthew 4:4).

So, I am primarily a spiritual dimension student because of my devotion as a disciple of my Master Jesus, but secondarily, I am also a earthly dimension Student of Life In 3D including all human cultures. Before you start thinking you need to also become an expert in human cultures, let me put your mind to rest and say this has been my own choice of study in life and does not need to be yours at all. I mean more than you need to satisfy your own cultural choices in life.

You will do fine just focusing on your spiritual dimension discipleship to your Master Jesus. But if you want MORE out of life on earth I can help you learn to enjoy human culture for what it is whether you are choosing to create it or copy it you can make it all come together to form your own customized meaningful cultural life on earth.

Since all of these cultural studies I was undertaking in the world are also part of “everything” Jesus rules too (those living in the world without God just don’t accept it yet like they all will someday), as I acknowledge Him as His devoted disciple, I therefore still run “everything” I am learning in the world by my Master and King “first place” for His wisdom and insight. I mean His wisdom and light shed on what parts and pieces of what I learn are useless and His wisdom and light shining what is truly useful to continue chewing on and possibly even swallowing as real truth.

Who is to say what is meaningful or meaningless in a culture? That is something based on one’s own experience with a given culture. Who is to say what is truthful and useful or deceptive and useless? That is something between a person and God “first place in everything” and Jesus’ Mission to earth He explained to Pilate in John 18:36-38 remains the same mission to bear witness to “the truth”.

I mention that to say simply that even these things I am studying here on earth get that same 3D Context examination from my Master Jesus and His Spirit of Truth (John 16:7-15; 1 John 2:26-27) that I teach everyone who visits here at Pokyra Services. I have accepted it as “normal” Christian practice and I teach others to do the same.

Here is something a bit “deep” to consider about my approach to being a Student of Life In 3D:  If God created something (you name it … anything) according to His own uniquely Him “Way,” based on His own “Truth”, etc., I believe it is important to seek to know and always ultimately accept His “rest of the story” version of Truth first. Why live a life deceived about any part of God’s creation and intended purpose on the earth?

Armed with His “rest of the story” from His Spirit Helper helping me understand and not be deceived by the spirit of the world, I can NOW freely turn back to the world and enjoy studying life in all 3D’s without fear of being deceived in the process.

Whether Christians are willing to accept it or not, there is MUCH truth to be enjoyed in the world that did not make it into the Bible simply because other people are exploring it in ways we may not have attempted before. I think of Medical Science truth coming from someone studying God’s created human wonder of the body and then writing down on paper what they learned about it, as just one example.

I am NOT saying that these explorers of truth were NOT lacking “the rest of the story” about many things they were truly discovering about life because no doubt they were lacking much, but simply that they had TRULY discovered real pieces of truth that were useful and not useless. This same thing can be said of practically every area of life on earth. It is not that humans have not discovered Truth in many pieces, it is just that they don’t accept the Spirit of God’s Helper to get to “the rest of the story” about anything. The Devil uses this half-truth or part-truth problem to deceive anyone he can and this is the basis of his power in the minds of many humans living in denial of God (Matthew 4:1-11).

That said, I believe too many Christians who have been given the Gift of the Holy Spirit to help them no longer fear the half-truth deceptions of the world are simply NOT taking Jesus up on His offer to be led “into all truth” like John explained in 1 John 2:26.27. I believe there is much more to fully enjoy in your study of life on earth including the wonderful diversity of life presented in various human-created cultures based on their own choices and personal Values (sometimes without God).

That “sometimes without God” part should not stumble anyone living in this world. Let me explain my reasons briefly.

Is it a surprise that people who have lived apart from God (especially us Gentiles) their entire life might be creating their human cultures without reference to Him? It doesn’t surprise Him and even though it did surprise me as a new Christian because many of the Christians I was talking to as a new Christian lived their own Christian life like they were surprised that anyone living in the world would choose NOT to live godly lives. Everything was so SHOCKING when they talked about what was going on in the world so I too learned to be SHOCKED too. That was then and this is now.

I am now learning as a Student of Life in 3D from Jesus “first place in everything” and not other Christians “first place in everything” as I now teach all members of His Church to now do the same based on what I have learned about Colossians 1:13-18. I mean I am certainly learning from Jesus and His own “free” example of how to interact with and offer whatever “righteousness” perspective from the Kingdom of God and my God-King Master that I can offer the world … just in case someone is opening or open to receive it and follow Jesus too … without expecting MOST of the “world” to take me up on the offer.

Why?  I normally don’t expect anyone who hates God or as Jesus said it, “and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their deeds were evil,” (John 3:19) to take me up on my offer because they are first of all not open to take God Himself up on His offer first (Matthew 11:25-30). Are you following me?

Don’t get me wrong, I still share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in both my words and my deeds like any disciple of Jesus receiving Jesus’ Great Commision command in Matthew 28:18-20, yet I have learned how futile it is to expect “godliness” or “righteousness” as it is in Heaven to be accepted by a people who don’t want anything to do with God in the “first place” (Colossians 1:13-18).

I challenge all of Jesus’ disciples to read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in their Bibles again and study their Master’s interaction with “the blind guides leading the blind” and it may just help you to no longer be SHOCKED that there are people living life around you who want NOTHING to do with the “righteousness” standards and ways of the Kingdom of Heaven. When I accepted that important truth, then life was no longer lived in fear of these God-haters but more filled with compassion and love for them with the new heart Jesus Himself was replacing inside of me with His own for them. Suddenly I was prepared to “walk in the same manner as He walked” in this world and it was a wonderful thing (1 John 2:3-6).

Jesus said the same thing in His own words in Matthew 7:15-20 and gave the analogy of two very different “trees” with totally different expectations of each tree.

I learned over the years that only when anyone is willing to receive His words and obey His commands like everyone else in His Kingdom of Heaven are doing right now will I THEN expect “righteousness” from those people. This is also what He taught us in Matthew 7:21-23 and what Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 5:9-13.

Even so, I have learned from Jesus that I should live “my righteousness” most of the time in “secret” with Him (Matthew 6:1-8). Then, when He tells me to be more visible for any Great Commission mission in the world as His Ambassador, just as Paul was an Ambassador for His Kingdom (2 Corinthians 5:20), I can confidently live my righteousness learned from Jesus just as I have learned it so far from my King and Master. So, you can see that this confidence in who I am “abiding in” Jesus actually sets me free to live with and among God haters and their perversions of what He created.

Fearful Christians would take that in a complete opposite direction of separating themselves from the world. Picture the one’s who are supposed to have access to the Eternal Life Rafts choosing to separate themselves from those still spiritually drowning in the world? Jesus never lived like that but was regularly hanging around the drowning souls of humanity just in case they chose to jump over their pride and humble themselves and take His offer to get in His Life Boat.

I am completely confident how my Master Jesus walked and I prefer to “walk in the same manner as He walked” in the world and not how any fearful Christian might choose to “walk” differently than Jesus.

Sometimes (not all the time) I love to be around God haters so much I might even be called “a friend of sinners” like Jesus my Master was during His time on the earth (Matthew 9:9-13). Most of these God haters are more tolerant of people and easier to live with than some Christians! By living with the people of the world who hate God, or at least don’t want anthing to do with Him, it may appear that I too am a “sinner” by that famous “guilt by association” charge.

Will people who are less free to live in the world cultures than I am misunderstand me at times? You bet! But wait, they misunderstood Jesus my Master and Model for a Christian too and that makes it just fine for me too (Matthew 9:9-13). I thank God that what anyone thinks of me today “is a very small thing” compared to what Jesus thinks of me and that I won’t be answering to any of them who misunderstand me on the Last Day Judgment but Jesus alone (1 Corinthians 4:1-5; Romans 14:4)!

I take that message from Jesus to His own disciples serious that says, “You don’t know what kind of spirit you are of; for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them” (Luke 9:55-56). Do you discern the “spirit” influencing your life (1 John 4:1). This is certainly part of my reasoning for choosing to live with the unbelievers and sinners of the world:  “that I by all means may save some” (1 Corinthians 9:22).

The other part is that Jesus did actually come to bring “judgment” toward those who won’t agree with Him as King of everything in every dimension (Colossians 1:13-18). Whenever I live by His truth those who hate His truth have a choice to agree with it, tolerate it or oppose it. Those opposing it might even persecute me for it and that is what Jesus meant to say about “judgment”. If it happened to my Master I can expect it to happen to me too.

I mean both people who considered themselves to be pro-God and people who considered themselves to be anti-God chose to call Jesus, the King of literally everything in every dimension, the “liar” in their non-existent Personal “knowing” relationship to Him.

That may not seem like a Problem to whoever they may be in their safe little groups they build around their image of God, but I guarantee you that when those “safe” little groups are no longer there and it is SUDDENLY just them and the King of Heaven IN PERSON someday, all arguments will quickly be lost in favor of Him on that Final Day.

Why? Because He is simply the King of Heaven who they are sinning against in the first place! He is the Final Judge of their eternal life and that sort of makes Him the ONE expert on “judgment” of anyone (John 9:35-41).

1 Corinthians 4:1-5 is a reference I like to use explaining my approach with all Christians in light of who I am convinced Jesus really is, while John 3:3-21 is a reference I use regularly to explain my approach toward everyone else living in the world. Both approaches have everything to do with the “first place in everything” role of Jesus the King and Final Judge of all.

Guess what my role is in that? Nothing! People like to think they or someone else has more to do with their spiritual life than they should and this silly deception has Jesus telling His servants like Paul to write letters to those people to set them straight about WHO HE REALLY IS and who they really are not (1 Corinthians 3:1-7; 4:1-7).

In a world where Jesus has already sent His Holy Spirit to “convict the world concerning sin, righteousness and judgment,” (John 16:7-15) nobody really should have any serious excuse for their “sin, righteousness and judgment” continued problems with God. I mean unless you don’t truly believe what Jesus did by sending the world His Spirit in John 16:7-15 can actually pull that, “with men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible,” answer to the question, “Then who can be saved?”, that He once gave His disciples (Matthew 19:26).

Again, it has nothing to do with me and everything to do with each person’s own responsibility to answer for themselves to Him both someday on that Final Day and today and everyday His Spirit still convicts the world concerning, “sin, righteousness and judgment,” in hopes they would repent and be healed and delivered (“saved”).

That quick Bible Study is the basis of my Tolerance goal toward all people living in any human-made culture in the world. It is deeply connected to Jesus statement, “You don’t know what kind of spirit you are of; for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them” (Luke 9:55-56). It’s because I am fully aware that even though they may or may not be as “free” I am in Jesus, and His Gift (D2) and His Kingdom (D1), I know without a doubt that I don’t have to stop walking “free” and “in the same manner as He walked,” just because they may not choose or may not have “faith” for the same freedom for themselves.

There are times I restrict my great “freedom” for the sake of others, just as my Master Jesus did often and just as the apostle Paul chose to do for the sake of Jesus’ mission to “save” people in Romans 14, but most often I am simply living as “free” as I can because Jesus says I get to as His devoted disciple and Ambassador in His Kingdom of Heaven.

Consider this profound statement from the apostle Paul who was teaching about this topic in Romans chapter 14,

“I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean … whatever is not from faith is sin.” (Romans 14:14, 14:23)

Needless to say, I am just as “convinced in the Lord Jesus” as Paul was too. This is the basis of my “freedom” in this world.

During my earthly dimension studies I was always fascinated with the question, “What makes people DO what they DO?”

I realized that people are at many different kinds of “places” with God and that it is impossible to sort of lump everone together using generalizations that lose their accuracy after a few deeper questions about their faith in Jesus or their faith to NOT have anything to do with Jesus.

I would follow that question with another question, “If they really knew the sources of their known or hidden Values as coming from other humans (or “demons too” – 1 Timothy 4:1-5)  like themselves and NOT from God (like, by definition, man-made religion is not from God but man), would they live life with less conflict in life? I mean less conflict surrounding values they once held as Absolute SUDDENLY with just a bit of help from my TIVCAT (more about this Tool later in this Guest Website and in the Subscriber areas) now transferred or re-classified from Absolute Values (the kind you might be willing to die for) to the Mixed or even Non-Absolute Values category?”

Non-Absolute Values are those values you are fully prepared to tolerate (and may even treasure like someone else) because you honestly don’t care enough to be intolerant and you might honestly change your mind to suddenly appreciate or even care about what other DIFFERENT people than you choose to Value in life – like the color of their skin or the color of their car. What once might have been a Absolute or Mixed Values Conflict might just be transformed with just a bit of help from my TIVCAT into something Non-Absolute that is obviously better for more peaceful relationships with any of your Priority Areas you live with most if not all of your life on earth.

I don’t share everyone’s Values as they choose to live them and … surprise, surprise … there are some in the world who don’t always share my Values as I choose to live them.

Do you see where this is going? Chances are good that as soon as you walk out your own front door into a world different than yours that there is at least the potential for some level of Values Conflict.

I offer you as part of your Life Coaching In 3D something I learned from my Mediation and Conflict Management studies. The TIVCAT is an extremely simple and easy to use Values Conflict Analysis Tool that I developed during my studies as well as in 3D during my time talking with God about His Values. I found that most people can immediately benefit from even the most simple analysis of their Values driving their life because most people never even stop to think about their Values to begin with.

I decided to Talk With God about how I can help others better understand what drives their actions in real life and especially help people manage or resolve certain conflicts joining what the “thief” was already doing as Jesus views our life:  to “steal kill and destroy” our lives if possible (Matthew 10:10).

I was specifically talking with God about how anyone’s Values often CONFLICT in this world no matter if they are hidden (most often) or already outwardly understood to some degree in real life here on earth. I offer the TIVCAT to help you analyze and better manage your own Values Conflicts in 3D that you are even right now dealing with whether you acknowledge the hidden or known Values driving your life and the lives of everyone you relate to or not.

All I really get to do at Pokyra Services is to help you learn to honor what God Values (Matthew 4:4) and teaching you how to honor Him “first place in everything” according to His words and commands. I get to help you learn the freedom that comes from this restored relationship with God now lived “abiding” in the Sinless Jesus WITHOUT SIN (called “righteousness” by Jesus in Matthew 6:33) and how God is already helping us mysteriously receive even earthly things as part of God’s 3D Jehovah Jireh Provision (Genesis 22:1-18) for all things in life (Matthew 6:25-34).

It’s the mystery of receiving the “life … abundantly” promise that Jesus talked about in John 10:9-10. I reference it often at Pokyra Services. Read Matthew 6:24-7:11 as a good supporting reference to better understand what Jesus is offering or providing us from Heaven in the name of the Father and the Son and in the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18-20).

I teach you to become a Master Life Planner using the Life Planning and Life Practicing Tools I am offering at your service such as the Brainstorming tools that are designed to get anything spiritual or natural into the form of a DOABLE Task. These doable tasks come together in what I call a Meaningful Mission.

These Meaningful Missions can be taken Home with you after every visit to Pokyra Services and practiced in your existing, adjusted or brand new Routine of life. I help you get more understanding of and more control of your Routine of living life leading to your “Most fulfilling place on earth” becoming a reality in 3D.

I start with your existing Routine as one of 7 Contexts of Your Life In 3D and move out from there. If you have ever gone through the process of taking a Goal (you name it) and working it into a doable Task, then you already have a good understanding of some of the benefits of what I am offering. But what I am offering in 3D is so much MORE than that simplified traditional way of Life Planning!

Now, picture those Goals and Tasks in 3D added to a customized “system” called Your Life In 3D that you have developed for you and your own YourNameLand lifestyle with your Master Jesus. Picture this applied to your Priority Area relationships you treasure most in life and lived or put into daily practice “in the same manner as He walked” “on earth as it is in heaven” by you and yours (Romans 14:4)! Those are just some of the important very practical helps I offer you at Pokyra Services.
