Welcome to the Interviewing Jesus Podcast. I am your host, Kristen Wambach, and in this episode, we tackle a profound reality that bridges heaven and earth: the release of the "imprisoned Christ" within you. Joining me is my dear friend of 30 years, Craig DeMo, to discuss the literal process of transformation and divine healing. We dive into the historical teaching notes of John G. Lake to unpack why believers often hit a wall when they rely on their physical senses to confirm kingdom realities. Craig shares his miraculous Monday-morning testimony of walking out of a hospital with canceled brain surgeries and healing broken bones through the sheer power of agreement.We are moving past the Logos mind and shifting into a Rhema mind to give you the practical logic to receive the covenant promises Jesus already paid for. Get ready for a soul-stirring conversation designed to simplify the supernatural, connect you with your God-inspired DNA, and equip you to live Spiritually BRAVE.Key Takeaways You Are the Healed: You are not a sick person trying to get well; you are the healed enforcing a victory over a defeated enemy. Healing is a package already given by Jesus that simply needs to be unwrapped and received.  The Process of Transformation: You are a three-part being: spirit, soul, and body. Total perfection happens instantly in your spirit when you are born again. True transformation occurs when you align your soul (your intellect, emotions, and daily decisions) with that completed spiritual reality.  Stop Waiting for a Feeling: Do not wait for a physical or emotional confirmation before believing God's word is true. When a symptom hits, do not accommodate it; drive it back by agreeing with the Word over what your physical senses tell you.  The Power of Spoken Agreement: When faced with a fractured skull and five broken ribs, Craig and his wife stood in immediate agreement with the Word of God, resulting in canceled surgeries and a 40-hour release from the intensive care unit.  God's Grace is Personal: Just as the Lord used a specific prayer language to sound like a Cherokee grandfather to intimately heal a woman in a maternity ward, God's grace always knows exactly how to reach and comfort His kids.

What if the most restrictive walls in your life aren't made of stone, but are built entirely from man's discord?In this powerful episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach dives deep into the profound reality of modern, invisible confinement—the suffocating pressure to perform, the weight of expectations, and the unexpected circumstances that threaten to shrink our world. When our immediate instinct in the friction is to beg for a supernatural jailbreak, we often miss the grander invitation of the Gospel.Through His own flesh, Christ did something far more radical than merely smashing open exterior doors: He tuned our inner frequency to His own. He offered us an inheritance of strength, perseverance, and a life completely bathed in peace, immersing us into an incorruptible, immortal liberty that never requires permission from our surroundings to exist.By shaking out the scriptures from Paul's prison epistles and contrasting his strategic sovereign rest with Peter's miraculous jailbreak in Acts 12, this episode shifts the paradigm of true Christian spiritual growth. You will discover that when you are fully unified with Him, freedom is no longer a destination you are running toward—it is the very atmosphere you carry right where you are.

What do you do when the "noise of the earth" attempts to steal your peace? This week, a sophisticated phishing scam nearly got the best of me. As I sat in the aftermath of changing passwords and shoring up my digital life, the Holy Spirit began to speak a deeper truth about The Seal of Authenticity.As an ordained pastor and experienced spiritual coach with over 40 years in ministry, I've learned that heaven is incredibly practical. We often think of spiritual warfare as abstract, but sometimes it sounds like a voice on the other end of a phone line trying to usurp your identity.

Using the Mirror Bible, we explore 1 John 4:18 to see how fear is simply an expectation of punishment—a misalignment with our true Oneness with God.I also share the story of "Jane," a painting that serves as a lifestyle tool for understanding vulnerability versus fragility. This is a Quantum thinking shift: laying your heart on the table isn't about being easily broken; it's about the authenticity that allows God's hugeness to provide absolute security.
