  • Liberated Living – “Setting A Trap For God: The Aramaic Prayer Of Jesus” w/ Guest Dr. Rocco Errico (Part 2)

    In every religion, prayer is an essential part of one’s spiritual practice that gives the individual the ability to be in union with God. Listen and download part 2 of this show as Eliakim is joined by Dr. Rocco Errico to spiritually elaborate on the true essence and Aramaic meaning of the Lord’s Prayer.

    Charles Fillmore defines prayer as: “Prayer is the communion between God and man. This communion takes place in the innermost part of man’s being. It is the only way to cleanse and perfect the consciousness and thus permanently heal the body. Prayer is the most highly accelerated mind action known. It steps up mental action until man’s consciousness synchronizes with the Christ Mind. It is the language of spirituality; when developed it makes man master in the realm of creative ideas. Prayer is more than supplication. It is an affirmation of Truth that eternally exists, but which has not yet come into consciousness. It comes into consciousness not by supplication but by affirmation.
    It is necessary to pray believing that we have received because God is all that we desire. The good always exists in Divine Mind as ideas, and we bring it into manifestation through the prayer of faith, affirmation, praise, and acknowledgment. All through the Scriptures, the different attitudes of mind necessary in prayer are pointed out. We are told to be instant in prayer, to pray with the Spirit, to pray in understanding. We have thought that prayer was something we could go to, in any way, at any time. But we have learned that to get results, we must pray with persistence and understanding, and with faith. This practice establishes a consciousness where doubt cannot enter. Jesus was in this consciousness. Is it possible for the ordinary man? Yes. But he must watch and pray. He must not only pray; he must watch also.

    Liberated Living – “Reach Out America!” w/Guest Deborah Nazemi (Part 2)

    Special guest and friend Deborah Nazemi joins Eliakim to discuss what has inspired her to produce a movement to mobilize Christians around the country to “reach out”.

    Deborah Nazemi lives in Texas with her husband, Terry, and their teenage son, Zechariah. She is the mother of four sons and has two grandchildren. Raised as a Catholic, Deborah gave her life to the Lord in 1975 after discovering that Jesus Christ died on the cross to save her from her sins. She received the Holy Spirit the same evening as she learned for the first time that the holy, living God wanted to have a personal relationship with her, and that He created His people for relationship with Him. Deborah has written, produced, and performed in numerous dramas, including full-length evangelistic plays such as Encounters with a King, The Golden Scepter, and Glory to God, and shorter skits such as Without Spot, Kingdom Airlines, and Through the Eyes of Love. In 2000, Deborah wrote the song, American Anthem, a call to the nation, and later in 2000, she released a contemporary CD titled Love’s Passion, an upbeat collection of love songs to the Lord. She continues to receive praise reports from people throughout the world whose lives have been deeply touched by Lovei’s Passion. Founder and director of The Deborah Company and the apostolic ministry, Transformation Ministries International, Deborah longs to see this generation’s believers fulfill their destiny as leaders and workers in God’s holy army–people who will carry the light of Jesus Christ around the world. Transformation Ministries International offers apostolic insight and accountability to ministries and leaders.

    Deborah’s show “Reach Out America” brings real stories of individuals, churches, and ministries helping people in their communities, and the heartwarming accounts of those lives that have been changed by compassionate people who stepped in to help.

Listen and download this dynamic discussion as Eliakim & Deborah talk about how our own inadequacies can often paralyze an individual from reaching their destiny.

    “America is on Red Alert; naturally, politically, and spiritually. We have reached a critical point. If we don’t do something very quickly, we will see further devastation through increased terrorism, natural disasters that go beyond our comprehension, and government takeover that could rival Hitler’s regime. RED ALERT AMERICA, Sound the Alarm! takes a look at our situation through prophetic and historic eyes, and gives hope and insight for us all. Have we had enough? Are we ready to go through the painful process of self-reflection and heart-change that will trigger reformation for the church and new hope for the future? If we will come away from our ‘ME’ mentality, throw ourselves on His mercy, and allow Him to transform us; we, in unity, will finally come into our God-given destiny and possess the land, one heart at a time. Says Deborah, “Only deep soul searching and true heart-change will revive us and bring the outward change we are seeking. Our transformation will lead to reformation, which will overflow to impact the world around us, bringing real hope and lasting change.”

  • Liberated Living – “Empowered Healer: Gain The Confidence, Power, & Ability To Heal Yourself” w/Guest Dr. Susan Allison (Part 2)

    Is it possible that an individual has the power and ability to heal oneself from debilitating ailments? You want to listen to this show as Eliakim by Dr. Susan Allison to discuss her newly authored book, “Empowered Healer: Gain The Confidence, Power, & Ability To Heal Yourself” on how one can practically apply her four step process of healing oneself from sickness etc. Currently, she works with individuals and groups in a variety of capacities, but always with the intent of bringing about healing, whether it is physical, emotional or spiritual. Her passion for service is reflected in Empowered Healer, in which she guides readers to become actively involved in their own recovery process. Her greatest joy comes from helping individuals and groups feel more empowered, transformed and fulfilled.

    Dr. Susan Allison has helped numerous people achieve what modern medicine might term spontaneous recoveries from physical and emotional illnesses, including the overnight disappearance of a diagnosed cancer nodule in the larynx, shrinking lesions in the brain, the healing of cervical cancer, the recovery from throat cancer and Hepatitis C, the disappearance of excruciating pain virtually instantly, peripheral eyesight restored, blocked arteries cleared, and depression and anxiety released effortlessly. These may seem like miracles, but they are actually the result of a four-step process that Allison teaches people in her new break-though book Empowered Healer: Gain the Confidence, Power and Ability to Heal Yourself. She has combined disciplines from her traditional practice as a psychotherapist with her training in a number of alternative healing methodologies–including clinical hypnotherapy, shamanic studies, Reiki, Reconnective Healing, intuitive guidance and more. Each of these made important contributions to her remarkable four-step Empowered Healer

    Empowered Healer is Susan’s third book, following on the heels of two other highly regarded books, Conscious Divorce, Ending a Marriage with Integrity and Breathing Room. She has a doctorate in Transpersonal Psychology and has been honored as a “Woman of the Year” in California for her counseling work, but today her practice is more about being an Empowered Healing coach than a traditional psychologist. Currently, she works with individuals and groups in a variety of capacities, but always with the intent of bringing about healing, whether it is physical, emotional or spiritual.

  • Liberated Living – “Empowered Healer: Gain The Confidence, Power, & Ability To Heal Yourself” w/ Guest Dr. Susan Allison (Part 1)

    Throughout biblical scripture, Jesus performed many healings during his three and half year ministry. In the book of John 5:1-11, Jesus asks a profound question to the lame man who had been in that condition for thirty years, “Do you want to be made well (whole)?”. Do you want to be made well or are you comfortable being in bondage to your physical sickness, ailment, or condition? Listen and download this show as Eliakim is joined by Dr. Susan Allison to discuss the true essence of healing.

    Are they miracles? The overnight disappearance of a diagnosed cancer nodule in the larynx? Shrinking lesions in the brain? The healing of cervical cancer? The recovery from throat cancer and Hepatitis C? Excruciating pain gone virtually instantly? Peripheral eyesight restored? Blocked arteries cleared? Depression and anxiety released in one session? No. These recoveries are not miracles. They are the work of the Empowered Healer—YOU! These are actual healings—performed by the average person and documented by medical examination. And they are the result of the step-by-step formula for self-healing in Dr. Susan Allison’s new book Empowered Healer: Gain the Confidence, Power and Ability to Heal Yourself. Allison, a PhD in transpersonal psychology and author of two other well-received books, is impassioned about sharing the extraordinary and effective methodology she has developed for physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Employing these steps assembled from many different and sometimes ancient disciplines, Allison affected a dramatic overnight removal of her husband’s cancerous tumor.

    That experience, shared in the Preface, helped to encourage Allison, a counselor in private practice in Northern California, to expand her career as a healer and healing coach. She guides individuals to plumb their emotional depths to discover precisely what is eating at them. And then she helps clients augment their own power to remove the emotional cancer that is stimulating the physical abnormality. It was a combination of her own mystical experiences, (once during pregnancy and once while on a spiritual quest) and her natural desire to explore beyond traditional therapies, that led her to synthesize the tools of visualization, self-hypnosis, shamanic trance, self-dialogue, calling in spiritual “helpers,” shamanic extraction and energy medicine into her Empowered Healer Method. Employing it and teaching it have been extraordinarily rewarding as she has watched people heal from both physical diseases and emotional issues such as anxiety and depression. She recounts dramatic case after case in the book of people who have astonished their doctors with oftentimes, overnight “miracle” cures. But these are not miracles or cures, which imply some external intervention. Instead, confident, empowered and determined individuals do the work to bring about their own healing.

  • Liberated Living – “Research Study of Puppy-Mill Dogs That Suffer from Long-Lasting Serious Psychological Harm” w/Guest Dr. Frank McMillan (Part 2)

    Are you an animal lover who is concerned over the emotional and psychological well-being of your pet? If so, this is a show that merges both the well-being of a pet and it’s caretaker which are important components in their mental health.

    Dr. Frank McMillan is the Director of Well-Being studies at Best Friends Animal Society responsible for designing and conducting studies on psychological trauma and methods of assessing mental health and emotional well‐being; field rescue operations; teaching of interns.

    In a large-scale study that looked at more than 1,100 dogs formerly used for breeding in puppy mills, it was found that these facilities are seriously detrimental to the well-being of the dogs kept there. A landmark new study finds that dogs used for breeding in large-scale commercial breeding operations (aka ‘puppy mills’) are psychologically harmed and show the effects for years after they leave the breeding facility. The study was done by national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society in collaboration with Drs. James Serpell and Deborah Duffy at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine and will be published in the journal Applied Animal Behavior Science.

    Dr. Frank McMillan said, “We always suspected the dogs in these facilities suffer emotionally because of the abnormal behaviors they show when they get out, but we can now scientifically confirm how truly destructive these places are for the dogs kept in them.” The study compared a wide array of psychological and behavioral characteristics of former breeding dogs recovered from puppy mills with those of standard pet dogs. A total of 1,169 former puppy mill dogs were included in the study.
    Commercial breeding operations, or puppy mills, are large scale facilities where dogs are confined in small enclosures for their entire lives with little to no exercise or positive human contact—for the sole purpose of mass-producing puppies to sell in retail pet stores and via the Internet. “The results of the study indicate it really doesn’t matter if the breeding operation claims to be shiny and clean, abiding by the laws, or even whether or not they are licensed by the USDA,” McMillan said. “This study gives us strong evidence that the dogs kept in these large scale breeding facilities don’t just suffer while they’re confined there, but carry the emotional scars out with them for years even when they’re placed in loving homes. Many of the dogs show difficulty in simply coping successfully with normal day-to-day life.”
    The results showed a broad range of abnormal findings in the former breeding dogs, including: significantly elevated levels of fears and phobias, pronounced compulsive and repetitive behaviors such as spinning in tight circles and pacing, house soiling, and a heightened sensitivity to being touched and picked up. McMillan said, “The most prominent difference was in the level of fear; compared to normal pet dogs, the chance of scoring in the highest ranges for fear was six to eight times higher in the recovered puppy mill dogs. Interestingly, the heightened fear was accompanied by a decreased chance of the dogs showing aggression.” The various exposés of puppy mills have typically focused on the filthy and unhealthy physical conditions where the dogs sometimes have only dirty water and moldy food to consume. By looking at the psychological rather than the physical harm experienced by the dogs, the new study offers a different perspective on the problem. McMillan said that, as written, current laws designed to protect the dogs from inhumane physical conditions do not provide adequate protection from the negative emotional effects. In working with and following these dogs’ progress, McMillan said, “The majority of the dogs improve over time, and it’s important to note that many of them lead very happy lives, but many also continue to struggle emotionally for the rest of their lives—just trying to gain comfort in a world we all take for granted. To them the world and all the people in it just can’t be trusted—it is something to always fear. The damage done to these dogs is heartbreaking.”
