John and Chino explore how the “little gods” doctrine emerged, evolved, and spread through Pentecostal, Latter Rain, Word of Faith, and modern charismatic movements. They trace the development of these ideas from William Branham’s distorted view of Christ as a “thought expressed,” through Hobart Freeman’s charismatic reinterpretations, and into the broader landscape of dominionism and modern spiritual power claims. Along the way, they highlight how proof-texting, misused Greek terms, and theological shortcuts created a framework that encouraged believers to see themselves as small deities capable of commanding reality, weather, sickness, and even God Himself. The discussion also exposes the psychological and spiritual consequences of this theology—how it fostered hierarchies of “manifested sons,” opened the door to manipulative ministry culture, and blurred the line between biblical faith and occult-like practices. John and Chino connect these historical teachings to current religious-political movements, examining how ideas about dominion, authority, and spiritual control continue to shape contemporary charismatic expressions. This episode gives listeners a clear historical roadmap of how these ideas took root and why they still matter today.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/gods-peaceWhat if the peace God offers is far stronger, deeper, and more whole than anything you've ever imagined? What if biblical peace isn't the absence of conflict, but the presence of Someone? In this message, Pastor Tonderai Bassoppo-Moyo explores the difference between the world's fragile peace and the unshakeable peace God gives—peace that brings wholeness, mends what's broken, steadies us in trouble, and reconciles us to God, to ourselves, and to others. If true peace feels distant, fragile, or inconsistent in your life, what would it look like to discover the kind of peace Jesus promised? Listen in as we explore the peace announced at His birth and offered to us today.#GodsPeace #Shalom #NewSongChurch #PastorTonderai #PeaceWithGod #PeaceWithSelf #PeaceWithOthers #JesusOurPeace #BibleTeaching #SermonRecap #ChristianTeaching #OklahomaCityChurch
Monday, 1 December 2025 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” Matthew 14:28 “And having answered Him, Peter, he said, ‘Lord, if You – You are – You command me to come to You upon the waters'” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus called out to the disciples on the boat to be emboldened, for He is! He implored them not to fear. In response to this, the impetuous Peter needs evidence of what his eyes see. Therefore, Matthew records, “And having answered Him, Peter.” Regardless of how many disciples there were on the boat, it is Peter who needed to be given the proof that would ease his suspicious mind concerning the phantasm who claimed to be Jesus. Therefore, Matthew's words continue, “he said, ‘Lord, if You – You are – You command me to come to You upon the waters.'” Notice how Peter's words, though respectfully stated with the word “Lord,” challenge the declaration made by Jesus – *...Jesus, He spoke to them, saying, “You embolden! I, I am! You fear not!” *...Peter, he said, “Lord, if You – You are – You command me to come to You upon the waters.” Of these words, the Pulpit Commentary says, “Not ‘bid me walk on the water;' for he does not want to perform a miracle, but to come to Jesus.” This is entirely incorrect. Peter uses the word keleuó, command, to signify that he desires the same ability that Jesus displays. If this was a sign of “impulsive love” for Jesus, as their commentary later states, the reaction would have been the same as is recorded in John 21:7 – “Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, ‘It is the Lord!' Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.” Peter wants proof of what his eyes refuse to believe. This is the reason for the word if, the emphatic challenge, and for the Lord to command him to do as was being done by Him. Life application: Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” 1 Corinthians says – “Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” 1 Corinthians 1:20-25 The Bible sets a contrast between faith and sight, between belief and tangible evidence. Peter even had sight and sound, but it was not enough for him to accept. He wanted a personal sign to confirm to him that Jesus was really the One who had approached them and spoken to them. What are you looking for to be assured of the faith you profess? Charismatic churches need proof of faith through the speaking of tongues. How can that be a proof of faith? If you have tangible evidence of something, you no longer have faith, but the surety of the experience. They claim that if you don't speak in tongues, you don't have the filling of the Spirit. It is a false, damaging system of expectancy and contrived piety that dismisses the fundamental tenet of Christianity, salvation by grace through faith. Be careful what you believe. Stick to the Bible, have faith in what it says, and confirm that faith by accepting Jesus' full, final, finished, and forever work on your behalf. In this, you will be pleasing to God. Lord God, how good it is to know with all surety that we are saved through the work of Jesus Christ. We don't need more. Evidence and proof will come when You come for us. Until then, we have the words of Scripture. It is sufficient for our souls. Thank You for the words of surety that You have given to us. Amen.
At the heart of this message lies a profound invitation to step into the realm of the supernatural through faith and trust in God. Drawing from John 14:1, we're reminded that in our Father's house there are many roomsmore blessings, more miracles, more provision than we've yet discovered. The central theme challenges us to move beyond anxiety and fear, especially in an era saturated with troubling news and pessimistic forecasts, and instead embrace a posture of expectant faith. We're called to believe that God wants to visit us with healings, miracles, and unexplainable breakthroughs that can only be attributed to His power. The message weaves together powerful testimonies of supernatural healingfrom cancer disappearing to AIDS being cured through water baptismdemonstrating that the same God who performed miracles decades ago is still moving today. What makes this particularly relevant is the acknowledgment that miracles often come after difficult reports: the diagnosis precedes the healing, the struggle precedes the victory. We're encouraged to stop letting podcasters, news cycles, and cultural prophets of doom diminish our faith, and instead return to the simplicity of prayer and Scripture. The call is clear: make room for the supernatural in our everyday lives, believe that nothing is too hard for God, and watch as He transforms impossibilities into testimonies that leave even skeptics saying, 'It had to be God.'
John and Christian dive into the State of Theology 2025 survey and uncover surprising contradictions in what American Christians believe about God, the Bible, and salvation. From the question "Is Jesus God?" to debates about sin, gender, and truth itself, the results expose a growing divide between biblical foundations and cultural Christianity. John reflects on how Pentecostal and Charismatic teachings have reshaped people's view of God, while Christian connects the trends to the loss of a biblical worldview and the rise of subjective truth. Together, they discuss how theology has shifted from reverence to relativism—and what it means for the future of faith.______________________State of Theology:https://thestateoftheology.com______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org
John and Chino dive deep into one of the most confusing and destructive doctrines taught within Branhamism and Faith Assembly: eternal security—or, as many lived it, eternal insecurity. They unpack how William Branham and Hobart Freeman twisted the gospel of grace into a doctrine of fear, confusion, and control. Drawing from firsthand experiences, personal stories, and archived recordings, the hosts reveal how both leaders contradicted themselves, manipulated scripture, and redefined salvation to keep followers dependent on their authority. Together they examine how Branham’s shifting messages on salvation, election, and damnation evolved through the Pentecostal, Latter Rain, and Charismatic movements, shaping Freeman’s authoritarian theology. Chino shares insights into the psychology of cult obedience, while John traces how Branham’s legacy of doctrinal chaos still influences modern fringe movements. This episode challenges listeners to discern between faith rooted in Christ and fear imposed by cult leaders. ______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham – Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

As a believer it is important that you are aware Satan is always trying to cause doubts about the authority of Scripture. Every believer needs to evaluate what they hear to see if it agrees with Scripture.

This powerful message centers on the transformative power of persistent, insistent faiththe kind that refuses to give up even when circumstances seem impossible. Drawing from Luke 18's parable of the persistent widow, we're challenged to move beyond casual, comfortable Christianity into a realm of breakthrough that belongs only to those who consistently knock on heaven's door. The widow's relentless pursuit of justice from an unjust judge becomes our model: if even an uncaring human eventually responds to persistence, how much more will our loving Father respond to our continual prayers? We're invited to examine whether we've stopped praying about things simply because we haven't seen immediate results, and to recognize that consistencyin prayer, in faith, in giving, in expectationis the key that unlocks miraculous provision. The message reminds us that insistent faith isn't begging God; it's reminding ourselves of His covenant promises and proving to ourselves that we truly want what we're asking for. When we show up week after week, when we give even in famine seasons like Isaac did, when we reach for our miracle like the woman with the issue of blood, we're not wearing God outwe're demonstrating the kind of shameless persistence that moves heaven on our behalf.

Warning: This episode contains discussion of suicide.When the Nuremberg Trials began in November 1945, Hermann Göring was the highest-ranking Nazi to face justice for the crimes of the Third Reich. Charismatic, manipulative and unrepentant, he became the central figure of the proceedings. This episode examines Göring's performance in the courtroom and his unusual relationship with U.S. Army psychiatrist Dr Douglas Kelley, who was tasked with assessing the mental state of the Nazi defendants.For this, we're joined by Jack El-Hai, author of ‘The Nazi and the Psychiatrist'. Through their exchanges, Jack explains how Göring sought to control his legacy and what his case revealed about the psychology of power and guilt in the aftermath of war.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

John and Jed explore one of the most sensitive and emotionally charged topics in Pentecostal and Charismatic circles—the world of fake miracles, resurrection claims, and manufactured hype. Starting with Bethel Church's "Wake Up Olive" tragedy, they trace the long lineage of miracle stories from Smith Wigglesworth through William Branham to today's New Apostolic Reformation leaders. Their discussion examines how sensationalized testimonies shape belief, manipulate emotions, and reinforce authoritarian control within high-demand religious groups.Through deeply personal stories, including experiences from within Branhamism and IHOP, they unpack how false faith-healing narratives prey on trauma, obscure genuine spirituality, and keep followers trapped in fear of doubt. This conversation dives into the emotional cost of such beliefs—the shame, confusion, and psychological damage caused when "miracles" fail—and the deeper truth about where real faith should be placed.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

Jim Osman examines the seduction and lust of false teachers through 2 Peter 2:1-3, warning believers against dangerous deceptions. False teachers operate in a symbiotic relationship with followers who desire teachings that justify their lusts, while teachers gain platforms, money, and power. Peter warns that many will follow their sensuality, thereby maligning the way of truth. These unbelievers are driven by unrestrained immorality, marked by sensuality throughout Scripture.The Charismatic movement provides the largest environment where such teachers flourish, promoting unbridled emotionalism and doctrinal looseness. The antidote requires believers to live above reproach, making the gospel convincing through transformed lives rather than bringing reproach upon Christ's name. ★ Support this podcast ★
Life has a way of moving in seasons rather than just days and months. Sometimes we find ourselves on the mountaintop, and other times we're deep in the valley, wrapped in what feels like a straitjacket of doubt and discouragement. But Romans 15:13 offers us a powerful promise: the God of hope can fill us with complete happiness and peace through our faith, and the Holy Spirit can cause us to overflow with hope. This isn't wishful thinking or blind optimism. The Greek word for hope here means 'expectation of what is sure.' We're not hoping for a maybe; we're expecting something certain. God doesn't peddle false hope or shallow encouragement. He offers real, tangible hope that we can build our lives upon. The key is understanding that faith is the currency that moves God's economy. It's not our need that necessarily moves God, but our trust in Him. When we give Him our discouragement, He offers overflowing joy. When we give Him our fear, He gives confidence. When we give Him our brokenness, He gives healing. This is a lopsided exchange where we always win. We don't have to stay stuck in despair. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can experience levels of hope and joy that transcend our human ability to manufacture them. The question is: will we trust Him enough to receive it?

John and Christian discuss how "loaded language" within cults and charismatic movements creates communication barriers, spiritual elitism, and moral confusion. They explore how words like faith, doubt, spirit-filled, and Jezebel spirit carry entire doctrines that alienate others and discourage honest inquiry. Drawing from their experiences leaving high-control religious groups, they show how language can shape identity and restrict thought—turning simple words into tools of control.Together they examine how even well-meaning Christians can drift into self-righteous rhetoric and "church-speak" that isolates them from both outsiders and fellow believers. The conversation connects biblical examples, psychology of cult speech, and cultural references like Harry Potter to show how prideful communication dehumanizes others and undermines the gospel's inclusivity.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/we-make-spaceWhat does it mean to make space for God to move? In this message from Pastor Josh, we explore what happens when we recognize that everything we have belongs to Him—and that we're called to steward it, not own it. What if generosity isn't about money, but about the heart? What if expanding our sanctuary and opening our hands to give is actually about creating room for people to know God, be saved, and be sent? We'll look at Ephesians 2, Psalm 50, and Matthew 6 to see how God uses surrendered hearts and open hands to build His house and reach His people. Because when we make space for Him, He fills it—with His presence, His peace, and His purpose.

Galatians
This powerful message reminds us that seeking counsel isn't a sign of weaknessit's actually a mark of wisdom and spiritual maturity. Drawing from Isaiah 9:6, we're invited to understand Jesus not just as Savior, but as our Wonderful Counselor who knows us more intimately than anyone else ever could. The sermon unpacks three compelling reasons why we need counsel: we don't know what we don't know, there's safety in wise advisors, and counsel provides direction for growth. What's particularly striking is how this teaching affirms that Jesus speaks to us through multiple channelsthrough prayer and Scripture, yes, but also through Christian counselors, pastors, small groups, worship music, and even everyday conversations in church hallways. The message challenges a false dichotomy many of us have held: that seeking professional help somehow means we lack faith. Instead, we're encouraged to see therapists, financial advisors, marriage counselors, and other helpers as tools in Jesus' toolbox. He uses them to reach us where we are. The key is ensuring our counsel is rooted in biblical truth and godly principles. This isn't about replacing Jesusit's about recognizing all the ways He chooses to minister to us. When we humble ourselves enough to admit we need help, we position ourselves to receive the multifaceted wisdom God wants to pour into our lives.

This message challenges us to rethink what it truly means to be healthy. Drawing from Luke 10:27's call to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, we're invited to examine whether we're merely avoiding sickness or actually thriving in every dimension of our lives. The sermon walks us through Jesus' own self-care practices, revealing that the Son of Goddespite His divinitystill needed to tend to His human body, emotions, relationships, and spiritual life. We see Jesus weeping openly, expressing anger, setting boundaries with family members, taking naps in boats, walking miles daily, and intentionally choosing solitude for prayer. This isn't about indulgence or treating ourselves to spa days; it's about stewardship of the one life and body God has given us. The message dismantles harmful religious guilt around spiritual disciplines, reminding us that God delights in five minutes of genuine connection just as much as an hour. We're encouraged to ask ourselves the honest questions: Am I thriving emotionally? Spiritually? Physically? Mentally? Relationally? The baptism at the end beautifully illustrates what it means to fix the wobble in our livesto shore up the unbalanced legs of our existence so we can walk steadily in our calling.
