Read OnlineThe Power of His WordAfter Jesus left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon. Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever, and they interceded with him about her. He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and waited on them. Luke 4:38–39In today's Gospel, we encounter the first mention of Simon—whose name Jesus would later change to Peter—in Luke's account. Simon was likely present in the synagogue and witnessed Jesus cast out a demon from a possessed man. With a simple command, “Be quiet! Come out of him!”, Jesus revealed His divine authority. The people were astonished and exclaimed, “What is there about his word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out” (Luke 4:35–36).Having seen His authority firsthand, Simon presumably spoke to Jesus about his mother-in-law, who was suffering from a severe fever. It is striking to imagine the moment of Simon's first personal encounter with the Lord. Though Jesus, in His divine foresight, knew what Simon would one day become—the first pope entrusted with the spiritual authority of Heaven—Simon himself could not have foreseen how radically his life was about to change.Upon entering Simon's home, Jesus rebuked the fever. The Greek word used here, epitimaō, is the same word used in the previous passage when Jesus rebuked the demon. This deliberate parallel reveals that both the spiritual and physical realms are subject to Jesus' command. What He rebuked were real evils and disorders: demonic possession as a violation of the soul and the fever as a natural affliction of the body.Later in this Gospel passage, Jesus continues healing many who are sick and casting out demons. Once again, He rebukes the demons, silencing them and forbidding them to speak. Though they cry out, “You are the Son of God,” Jesus does not permit them to bear witness to Him. He has no need of demons to proclaim His identity. His revelation will come in His time, by His own design, especially through the Cross and Resurrection.Jesus' rebukes, whether uttered by a word, expressed through a gesture, or conveyed by His mere presence, are divine actions against evil. They are not expressions of wishful hope, but authoritative, efficacious commands. What He speaks comes to be. His word is not just powerful; it accomplishes what it declares.Understanding this is foundational to our life of faith and our spiritual journey. When we turn to Christ with trust, we must believe that His word has the power to heal, to free, and to transform. He does not speak in vain. His authority extends to every dimension of our lives, body, soul, and spirit, and He desires to restore all that has been wounded by sin, suffering, or disorder.One of the most tangible and powerful ways this takes place today is through the words of absolution spoken by the priest in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, a spiritual authority first given to Simon Peter and passed down through apostolic succession. The words of absolution are Christ's words, words that rebuke sin and its effects, restoring the soul to grace and peace. They are divine actions that accomplish what they signify.Though the words of absolution may be the clearest example, every Sacrament—Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony—conveys God's grace and power through the efficacious word and action of Christ.Reflect today on your own trust in the power of Jesus' word. Do you believe He can rebuke the disorders in your life with divine authority? Do you turn to Him with confidence in the Sacraments, knowing that what He speaks, He accomplishes? Surrender all that afflicts you to the power of His Word, and allow Him to restore you to grace, relying especially on the sacramental authority given to Simon Peter and exercised by the priests who have followed after. My authoritative Lord, when You speak, what You speak comes to be. Speak to me, Lord. Rebuke my sin and weakness, so that Your holy will may be accomplished in my life. Let me hear Your voice, especially in the Sacraments through which Your mercy is poured forth and Your power is made manifest. Jesus, I trust in You.

The Doctrine of Balaam: Exposing Corruption in the Modern Prophetic Movement | KIB 547 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing DESCRIPTION THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM: EXPOSING CORRUPTION IN THE MODERN PROPHETIC MOVEMENT Kingdom Intelligence Briefing — Episode 547 What does the biblical account of Balaam reveal about the modern prophetic movement? Balaam presents one of Scripture's most sobering examples of supernatural gifting separated from godly character. He could encounter genuine supernatural revelation. He could speak words God placed in his mouth. He even delivered a remarkable prophecy concerning the coming Messiah. Yet Balaam's supernatural experiences did not transform his character. His heart remained vulnerable to money, honor, influence, compromise, and access to kings. That creates a critical warning for the Church today: · Prophetic accuracy does not necessarily equal divine approval. · Supernatural power does not equal holiness. · Revelation does not equal character. · Gifting does not equal maturity. · Anointing does not equal obedience. Jesus taught that fruit remains essential in discerning spiritual ministry. In KIB 547, Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake undertake a biblical examination of Balaam and discover that the New Testament gives us three powerful categories for understanding prophetic corruption: THE WAY OF BALAAM — 2 Peter 2:15 THE ERROR OF BALAAM — Jude 1:11 THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM — Revelation 2:14 Together, these passages provide a biblical framework for evaluating modern prophetic ministry. The episode examines how genuine or claimed spiritual gifting can become corrupted when joined with covetousness, ambition, political influence, celebrity, sexual compromise, financial manipulation, and the commercialization of spiritual authority. One of the deepest theological observations in the episode is this: Balaam wanted God's power without God's government. That same temptation remains possible today: · Prophecy without holiness. · Power without obedience. · Gifts without character. · Authority without accountability. · Revelation without Scripture. · Anointing without crucifying the flesh. · Kingdom authority without submission to the King. True biblical prophetic ministry cannot be separated from covenant faithfulness and obedience. THE WAY OF BALAAM Second Peter 2:15 identifies Balaam as one "who loved gain from wrongdoing." · The problem is not legitimate financial support for ministry. · The danger begins when money starts influencing ministry. · When access to a prophet is sold. · When prophetic words become commodities. · When larger offerings produce more favorable prophecies. · When invitations, platforms, donors, and political connections begin determining what a minister will—or will not—say. · At that point, the gift is being monetized. Biblical ministry may receive support, but God's gifts must never become merchandise. THE ERROR OF BALAAM Jude 1:11 exposes another dimension. A minister can begin assuming that because supernatural manifestations continue, God must approve of the minister's character and conduct. Balaam destroys that assumption. Something supernatural happening does not prove that God approves of the vessel. The question must move beyond: "Was the prophecy accurate?" We must also ask: · Does the ministry exalt Jesus Christ? · Does it submit prophetic claims to Scripture? · Does it produce holiness and repentance? · Does it strengthen covenant faithfulness? · Is there humility? · Is there financial and sexual integrity? · Is there meaningful accountability? · Are failed predictions acknowledged? · Does the ministry create dependence upon Christ—or dependence upon the prophet? · Does it produce mature disciples—or prophetic consumers? And perhaps one of the most important questions: Will the prophet speak the truth when doing so could cost the prophet money, popularity, political access, followers, conference invitations, or the entire platform? The episode contrasts Balaam with Micaiah, who was willing to suffer rather than alter the word God had given him. THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM Revelation 2:14 takes the warning even further. Personal corruption eventually becomes doctrine. Balaam discovered that he could not directly curse the people God had blessed. Instead, Israel was enticed into idolatry and sexual immorality. The pattern becomes: · Gift · Revelation · Opportunity · Desire for reward · Compromise · Rationalization · Prophetic corruption · Teaching others to compromise · Covenantal judgment The compromised minister eventually becomes an architect of compromise in others. DON'T THROW OUT THE TRUE BECAUSE OF THE FALSE This episode is not an argument for rejecting biblical prophetic ministry. Quite the opposite. The existence of counterfeit ministry makes biblical discernment even more important. Jesus places the doctrine of Balaam inside the Church in Revelation 2:14. The warning to Pergamum therefore provides a serious pattern for examining what the Church tolerates. The answer is not cynicism. The answer is testing. "Prove all things." Return everything to Scripture. Reject the false. Hold fast to what is good. And allow God to restore genuine biblical ministry. The closing message of KIB 547 is ultimately one of hope: God is preparing His remnant, exposing what is false, and calling His people back to Christ, His Kingdom, His Word, holiness, and covenant faithfulness.

Episode OverviewGod often calls leaders to influence more than one sphere of society.The marketplace can be a powerful place for ministry and kingdom impact.Ministry experience can strengthen leadership in business, and vice versa.Calling is about obedience, not fitting into traditional categories.Sustainable leadership requires personal health and spiritual intentionality. Leaders with a dual calling do not have to choose between ministry and marketplace influence.Show Notes & Resources
In this special crossover episode, Man Up host Joe Stopulos trades the mic for the guest chair, joining Dr. Bud Marr of The Uncommon Good for a deeply personal conversation about what it means to live — and die — well as a Catholic man. Recorded this past June, just weeks after the sudden passing of Joe's father, Mike Stopulos, the discussion centers on the "obituary virtues" that matter most: faith, service, and family. Highlights from this episode: Joe's father received the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, an apostolic blessing, and Holy Communion in his final hours — surrounded by his wife, children, grandchildren, and brothers praying the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet at his bedside. Why fourteen weeks of terminal cancer became, in Joe's words, a blessing — offering time for last conversations a sudden death never would have allowed. A candid look at the Church's teaching against hastening death, and how that teaching shaped the family's experience of Joe's father's final months. The biggest lesson Joe's father left behind: a life of joyful, selfless service — "he made everyone feel like his best friend." How every Catholic father, regardless of profession, is called to be "salt and light," radiating the joy of the Gospel in ordinary daily life. A nod to Tim Carney's book Family Unfriendly and the danger of comparing real family life to curated "Instagram motherhood." This is part one of a two-part conversation — part two continues next week on Man Up.

Send us Fan MailIf someone promised you a shortcut around suffering, would you notice the trap before it snapped shut? We wrestle with that question while taking on one of the biggest modern distractions in Christian eschatology: the push for a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem, revived animal sacrifices, and the constant “red heifer” prophecy buzz.We walk through why God's own testimony about Jesus matters so much, especially at the baptism where Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are seen together. From there we argue that Christ is the true temple, and that the old covenant system is not waiting in the wings for a comeback. Even if a new building goes up, we explain why it would not be a place where God dwells, and why returning to sacrifices would collide head-on with Hebrews and the finished work of Jesus.The conversation gets personal and pastoral as we talk pre-trib rapture expectations, the fear of tribulation, and how a comforting timeline can become a faith crisis when real trials arrive. We also dig into why sacrifices ceased, what the destruction of the temple in 70 AD means for Matthew 24, and why “worship in spirit and truth” cuts through the noise of location-based religion and prophetic scavenger hunts. Finally, we define dispensationalism in plain terms and name the point where it becomes spiritually dangerous: the claim that salvation changes across different “ages.”If this helped you think more clearly about the third temple, dispensationalism, Daniel 9, or end-times teaching, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review with the biggest question you're still sorting out.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!
Send us Fan MailIf you have ever heard someone say God saves people one way in the Old Testament, another way in the “church age,” and another way in a future tribulation, we push back hard and go straight to the text. We walk through why claims of multiple salvation methods are not a harmless difference in end times theology but a direct threat to the unity of the gospel and the finished work of Jesus Christ. A big focus is Daniel 9:24 and the “70th week of Daniel.” We talk through what it means to finish transgression, make reconciliation for iniquity, and bring in everlasting righteousness, then ask the question that keeps surfacing: if Christ fulfills these promises, what happens to a dispensational timeline that moves them thousands of years into the future? We also address common rapture frameworks, the logic of Christians being “gone” in Revelation-style scenarios, and the unavoidable follow-up question: if the Holy Spirit is absent later, how does salvation work then without creating another gospel? From there, we zoom out to the real-life impact. We talk about fear-based prophecy teaching, why “not appointed to wrath” points to freedom from condemnation, and why believers are equipped to endure tribulation rather than dodge it. We touch on the Israel and Church divide, the symbolic nature of Revelation, and why Scripture alone (sola scriptura) keeps us grounded when charts and speculation take over. If you care about biblical prophecy, dispensationalism, Daniel 9, the rapture, and what end times doctrine does to everyday Christian discipleship, this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan MailDaniel 9:24 includes a phrase that has launched a thousand prophecy charts: “to anoint the most holy.” We argue that the text doesn't point to a distant future event, but straight to Jesus Christ and the completed work of his first coming. That claim has big implications, so we walk it slowly and back it with Scripture, not vibes, connecting the “acceptable year of the Lord” to the kingdom reality believers live in right now. We also tie the anointing theme to the Holy Spirit and Pentecost. Using temple language from the Old Testament, we explain why the Spirit's indwelling is the New Covenant sign of God's presence, and why being “in Christ” means the glory of God dwells in his people. Along the way, we talk about spiritual order, the difference between maturity and spiritual showmanship, and why prayer, fellowship, serving the needy, and growing in the Word matter more than chasing the spectacular. Then we put key passages on the table: Mark 14:8 on Jesus being anointed “to the burying,” Luke 4:18 on the Spirit anointing Christ to preach and heal, Acts 10:38 on God anointing Jesus with the Holy Ghost and power, and Hebrews 1 on the forever throne and “scepter of righteousness.” We close by linking Psalm 2 with Acts 4 and pressing a simple point: “Messiah” and “Christ” literally mean Anointed One, so what does that do to a future seven-year tribulation timeline?

Send us Fan MailDaniel 9:24 is one of those passages people quote to build entire end times systems, but what if its real purpose is far simpler and far more confrontational: to spotlight Jesus Christ and what his cross actually accomplished? We take the “seventy weeks” prophecy seriously on its own terms, starting where the text starts, with “thy people” and “thy holy city.” Then we trace the six promised outcomes one by one and ask a single question that changes everything: do these realities belong to Calvary or to a future tribulation story?We make the case that “finish the transgression,” “make an end of sins,” and “make reconciliation for iniquity” are not dangling promises waiting for a later era. They land on the gospel: Christ crucified, Christ risen, and sinners counted righteous through his work. That leads straight into “everlasting righteousness” as present assurance for believers, not a delayed benefit. From there, we tackle the harder debates, including what it means to “seal up vision and prophecy” and why modern claims of new prophetic words collapse if they won't be treated as God's infallible Word.Finally, we walk through “anoint the most holy” and argue that the most holy is not a future building project but Jesus himself, the true temple raised in three days. Along the way we push back on tribulation-driven interpretations that can turn Christianity into speculation, and we end with a sober reminder: enduring faith in suffering may be the clearest evidence of the Spirit's work.

What happens when a culture loses its relationship with the Divine Mother? Meghan Farner and Jocelyn Pedersen explore the Heavenly Mother wound—and how spiritual motherlessness may be showing up in our relationships, religions, and cultural conflicts.Rather than reducing today's tensions between men and women to feminism versus patriarchy, Meghan and Jocelyn ask what might be underneath them. What happens when the feminine is feared, diminished, or disconnected from divinity? And how might reclaiming Heavenly Mother change the way we understand both feminine and masculine spiritual identity?Together they explore the loss of the Divine Feminine, the deeper meaning of spiritual motherhood, masculine surrender and vulnerability, and Christ as a pattern of integration rather than hierarchy. They also consider creation and gestation as sacred symbols, feminine spiritual authority, women as mirrors and initiators, and the role of both masculine and feminine in the journey toward wholeness.This conversation invites us beyond the battle between masculine and feminine and toward something deeper: the restoration and integration of both.00:00 - The Divine Feminine and Our Cultural Moment 04:22 - Why Are We Seeing a Backlash Against Women? 09:17 - When Feminism and Patriarchy Both Miss the Point 14:37 - The Heavenly Mother Wound: A Motherless Culture 21:01 - Why the Feminine Is Feared 23:22 - Who Is the Divine Mother? 30:20 - Discovering Heavenly Mother 32:33 - The Divine Feminine in Christ 38:10 - Creation, Gestation, and the Feminine Pattern 44:03 - Spiritual Rebirth and Returning to the Mother 48:32 - Feminine Authority, Anointing, and Christ 52:29 - Mary Magdalene and the Hidden Feminine 56:20 - Masculine Healing: Surrendering the False Self 62:12 - Shame, Vulnerability, and Becoming Whole 64:19 - Women as Mirrors and Spiritual Initiators 68:02 - Reclaiming the Feminine Without Creating DivisionReclaiming the Woman in the Wilderness Retreat - September 11-12 - Lehi, UT Continue Your JourneyIf this episode resonated with you, there are several ways to go deeper:
What happens when the Holy Spirit's power comes upon a person's life? In this message, we continue exploring the anointing through the story of Saul in 1 Samuel 10 and discover how God's anointing distinguishes, dedicates, and makes us different.Saul's experience reveals that the anointing is purposeful, prophetical, powerful, and perceptible. God anointed Saul for a specific purpose, gave him prophetic direction, transformed his heart, and empowered him through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit didn't simply change what was happening around Saul—it changed Saul himself. What God poured into him began to flow through him, even affecting the way he spoke.The same Holy Spirit is available to God's people today. This message challenges us to pursue the fullness of what God wants to do in our lives, to desire spiritual gifts, and to allow the Spirit to flow through us in ways that impact others. When the Holy Spirit truly moves in a person's life, the change should become evident. People should be able to look at us and say, “Something happened to them!”Whether you need a first anointing or a fresh anointing, this message is an invitation to ask, seek, and knock—to receive the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit and experience the freedom that comes when His anointing makes the difference.
Matt Swaim welcomes Steve Ray of CatholicConvert.com to explore the fascinating biblical history and symbolism of nard, one of the precious oils mentioned in Scripture. Steve explains where nard came from, why it was extraordinarily expensive, and how it was used in the ancient world. The conversation then turns to the woman who anointed Jesus with costly spikenard. Steve explains how the Gospel of John connects this act to the Song of Solomon, highlighting Jesus' kingship and foreshadowing His burial. The discussion also considers why the Church gives beautiful and precious things to God, and what that teaches us about detachment and offering our lives to Christ.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
George Lombard Jr.'s rough defensive weekend raises the first real questions about the Yankees' prized young shortstop. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash debate whether the miscues are anything to worry about, why his elite range still jumps off the screen, and whether Yankee fans are rushing to crown Lombard after being burned by Anthony Volpe. The conversation escalates when Shaun projects Lombard as one of baseball's future elite shortstops, while Evan pushes back on putting enormous expectations on a player this early. Plus, the Yankees' pitching injuries strengthen Evan's argument that a contender can never have enough starting pitching, and Giancarlo Stanton's remarkable postseason availability becomes part of the discussion surrounding his uncertain future.

The Light of a New Anointing – Part 2 In the dynamic conclusion of this two-part series, Apostle Cara Nordeen guides viewers deeper into the manifestation and stewardship of the new anointing God is releasing in this hour. Part 2 focuses on how believers carry, cultivate, and walk in the light once it has been revealed—moving from revelation into responsibility, and from impartation into impact. This episode highlights the supernatural evidence of a fresh anointing: heightened discernment, accelerated obedience, unusual favor, and a renewed sensitivity to the voice of the Spirit. She unpacks how the light of God equips His people to confront darkness with authority, to build with precision, and to release His glory in every sphere of influence. Viewers will be challenged and empowered to embrace their role as carriers of divine revelation in a world desperate for truth. "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light." (Ephesians 5:8)
Preached at THE ANOINTING & THE PRESENCE SERVICE, ANOINTED PEOPLE INTERNATIONAL.
In this powerful opening of a two-part prophetic series, Apostles Bill & Cara Nordeen lead viewers into a fresh encounter with the illuminating presence of the Holy Spirit. Part 1 unveils how God's anointing does more than empower—it reveals, exposes, awakens, and activates the hidden places within the believer. As the Spirit shines His light, old limitations break, dormant gifts stir, and clarity begins to rise like the dawn. This episode explores the divine pattern of God releasing new anointing in seasons of transition, showing how His light separates truth from deception, purpose from distraction, and calling from comfort. Viewers will be stirred as the Apostles teach on the supernatural connection between revelation and impartation, demonstrating how the light of God not only shows the way forward but transforms the one who walks in it. Expect prophetic insight, fresh fire, and a call to step boldly into the next dimension of your assignment. "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee."

The Anointing on Music | Holy Habits | Pastor Robert Rivera by Riverside Church
Special Anointing Service 4 | Apostle Moses Mukisa
Special Anointing Service 3 | Apostle Moses Mukisa
What does it mean to be anointed by God? In this message, we explore the biblical meaning of anointing through the story of Saul in 1 Samuel 10 and Paul's declaration in 2 Corinthians 1:21 that God “has anointed us.” From the Old Testament to the New Testament, we see that God's anointing sets people apart for His purposes and is fulfilled through the work of the Holy Spirit.Saul's anointing reveals that God's anointing is purposeful and prophetical. God anointed Saul for a specific assignment, and the Spirit of God came powerfully upon him, transforming his heart and marking him as someone set apart by God.But God's anointing also makes a difference in our lives. It distinguishes us, dedicates us, and makes us different as we walk in the purpose God has given us. This message challenges us to recognize what God has placed on our lives and to understand that there is an attack against the anointing God has given us. The question is not simply whether God has called us, but whether we will faithfully walk in what He has anointed us to do.

Do yoga and sound bowl practices conflict with Catholic belief? How old was Adam when he entered the Garden of Eden? Does Mass on TV fulfills a Sunday obligation for the disabled? Emotional moments of grief, family estrangement, and memories of life during World War II all give Patrick opportunities to offer honest spiritual advice and personal reflections that blend doctrine, empathy, and sometimes humor. He offers practical tips for faith, sacraments, and the value of recording family stories and reminders to seek God and cherish the generations before us.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the unique and powerful identity of women of God, addressing the challenges and societal pressures that often seek to diminish our brilliance and calling. Titled "God's Favorite Girls," this episode is inspired by a conversation I had with a young woman who shared a shocking experience with a man who expressed admiration for her gifts while simultaneously wishing to suppress them. This encounter illuminated the enemy's plan to make women feel small and inadequate, a narrative that many of us have internalized. Throughout the episode, I reflect on my own experiences as a young woman navigating ambition and dreams in a world that often expects us to conform to a more traditional, domestic role. I emphasize that being a woman of God does not mean we have to fit a specific mold; rather, we are called to embrace our unique gifts and aspirations. I challenge the notion that women should shrink themselves to fit societal expectations, encouraging listeners to recognize their worth and the divine purpose behind their ambitions.

Hear Mercy Culture Washington, DC's first ever Family Anointing Service!
In this special Family Anointing Sunday message, Pastor Les Cody challenges parents, grandparents, and the entire church to spiritually prepare their families for the year ahead, drawing from Deuteronomy 6. He unpacks the truth that the word of God and the presence of God are meant to permeate every part of life, not just Sunday mornings, and that parents cannot deposit into their children what they have not first received themselves. Pastor Les calls families to stop compartmentalizing God and to make Him the center of how they raise their children, manage their marriages, and conduct their everyday lives. Pastor Les reminds parents that the goal of raising children is not to protect them from darkness but to prepare them to carry the light into it. He challenges fathers to spiritually lead their homes, encourages mothers to intercede faithfully, and calls every member of the congregation, whether parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or single believer, to pick up the burden of the next generation and pray, mentor, and invest in them. This message closes with a powerful time of prayer and anointing over families, students, and children as the congregation prepares to enter a new school year, believing that their children have not been sent out to survive but to be sent as carriers of the presence and glory of God. The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God. Each week, you will hear a teaching from our Lead Pastors, Sean and Natalie Gleason or another leader in our community. To learn more about Mercy Culture, visit https://mercyculturewaco.com
