DAY 16 — The Waiting EndsAfter centuries of silence, Malachi's final promise assured God's people that the Messiah was near. Today we explore the tension of waiting for God to act. What happens when it feels like God is quiet? Advent reminds us that the sunrise of salvation is closer than we think.
DAY 15 — A Better PriestZechariah's vision of Joshua the high priest—dirty, accused, and then clothed in purity—gives us a picture of salvation. Today we look at how Jesus is our perfect Priest who clothes us in righteousness. Why do we need someone to stand before God on our behalf? Advent shows us the One who removes our sin in a single day.

This week, the great Nils Gilman joined Damir Marusic and Samuel Kimbriel on the pod to unpack the complexities of American foreign policy and its implications for Europe — and beyond. The conversation starts by trying to make sense of Trump's latest National Security Strategy as a jumping off point, before pivoting into a discussion of populism. Why do some causes, projects — and people — provide meaning while others fall flat? For example, why is Trump's nationalism more politically effective than calls to global climate action? And is there a better way to create meaning in an increasingly fragmented world?Required Reading:* Nils Gilman, “Climate Leviathan” (Substack).* Nils Gilman, “The Duopoly of Doom” (Substack).

Advent invites us to lift our voices as we wait for our Shepherd-King.
In this interview I am once again joined by Dr Ben Joffe, anthropologist, occultist, and scholar practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism. Ben reveals the industry convention of guru ghostwriting in which spiritual teachers employ one or a team of writers to produce their dharma books, explains his collaborative process with Nida Chenagtsang on their latest Vajrayana book, and sheds light on his own editorial process. Ben discusses whether a scholar should have practice experience before translating religious texts, considers whether historical inaccuracies debunk the spiritual value of Buddhist scriptures, and raises questions about the origin of terma treasure texts. Ben also compares the Yuthok Nyinthig retreat format to the Abramelin Ritual of Western Occultism, details the signs of success in tantric practice, and shares Yuthok's promise to appear in bodily form to practitioners with sufficient devotion and attainment. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep337-guru-ghostwriting-tantric-retreat-dr-ben-joffe Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:12 - Ghostwriting for gurus 08:03 - Lamas often don't write their books 10:24 - Ben's editorial process 18:32 - Is guru ghostwriting a dirty secret? 19:17 - Vajrayana jargon vs a felt sense 29:56 - What is a scholar practitioner? 37:39 - Ben's retreat experiences 41:13 - Did Yuthok the Elder really exist? 50:06 - Anachronisms and retroactive attribution in Tibetan historiography 51:57 - Origins of the Tibetan medical tantras (rgyud bzhi) 58:08 - Terma treasure texts: mystical revelation or an editorial process? 01:02:08 - Why have Western scholars been hesitant to question terma texts? 01:05:04 - Does critical scholarship debunk Buddhism? 01:10:55 - Medicine Buddha ex machina 01:12:45 - Referring out 01:13:24 - Encountering Yuthok vs the Holy Guardian Angel in the Abramelin Ritual 01:20:10 - Special 7-day Yuthok ngondro 01:24:10 - Is Yuthok Nyingthig the best tantric system? 01:28:27 - The power of aspiration prayers 01:30:53 - How long does it take to become fully enlightened? 01:33:51 - Practice according to number, time, or signs 01:34:54 - Mythic resonance of lineage 01:36:33 - Signs of spiritual progress 01:41:35 - Ben comments on the Abramelin Ritual 01:43:59 - Sumton's Yeshe Zung's devotional prayer 01:46:50 - Yuthok as a Mighty Dead 01:48:47 - Do Yuthok's promises cause ego inflation and delusion? 01:52:09 - Verifying dreams and spiritual signs 01:58:26 - How to connect with spiritual blessings 02:05:09 - What are blessings? 02:06:32 - Spiritual signs in the Jesuit tradition 02:08:49 - Ngondro as a hazing 02:10:55 - Do people expect to encounter Yuthok at Dr Nida's retreats? 02:15:38 - Dr Nida's approach vs traditional contexts 02:21:00 - Typical student profile and outcomes 02:29:28 - Permissive approach to tantric vows 02:32:37 - Pros and cons of laissez-faire tantric practice 02:33:28 - Charismatic founder stage … Previous episodes with Dr Ben Joffe: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=joffe Previous episodes with Dr Nida Chenagtsang: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=nida … To find out more about Dr Ben Joffe, visit: - https://perfumedskull.com/ - http://www.skypressbooks.com/ … For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James
DAY 12 — Elijah & the Living GodOn Mount Carmel, Elijah confronted the empty promises of idols and revealed the fire-falling power of the living God. Today we ask: what idols capture our hearts today? Why do we chase things that cannot hear or save? Advent calls us back to the God who speaks—and to the Prophet greater than Elijah.
President Trump ordered U.S. forces (Coast Guard + Navy) to seize a large oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, an unprecedented use of military force against a vessel tied to a foreign nation. Venezuela condemned it as “piracy,” and critics warn it could escalate tensions toward war with Maduro's government. Not only that, when asked what he planned to do with the 1.1 million gallons of oil on the tanker, he replied “I think we'll keep it”. Who's ready for ‘total war”? It's coming.“The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.” Proverbs 21:31 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Donald Trump calls himself the ‘president of peace' while doing anything and everything he can do to prepare for war. Talk about your cognitive dissonance. Remember when candidate Trump promised to “end the war” in Ukraine on “day one”? Not only has he not done that, he just gave them $800 million over the next two years to keep the war going. In addition to what the US is doing in Venezuela, Trump has also threatened the Colombian President Gustavo Petro, saying “he'll be next”. Even though he claims to be working for peace, everything coming out of the Trump administration is screaming war. You'd have to be deaf, dumb and blind to not see it. Today we show you the coming wartime presidency of Donald Trump, we'll give you updates on aliens and fallen angels, Charismatic demon possession, and just about everything else you need to know here on Day 2,097 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve. TO THE FIGHT!!!
DAY 11 — David's Sin & God's MercyDavid was a man after God's heart, but he was also a man capable of deep failure. Today we walk through his darkest moment and his desperate cry for mercy. Why does God forgive sinners like David—and like us? Advent reminds us that we need a sinless King who can restore our broken hearts.
DAY 10 — Ruth & the RedeemerIn a story filled with grief and loss, God quietly worked redemption through Ruth and Boaz. Today we explore how loyalty, kindness, and courage lead to the family line of Jesus Himself. What does it mean to be “redeemed”? Advent invites us to take refuge under the wings of our Redeemer.

DAY 9 — The Rejected MediatorMoses stood between God and His people, praying for mercy even when they rejected him. Today we reflect on Israel's rebellion and Moses' intercession—and how both point toward Christ. Why do we reject the very One who came to save us? Advent teaches us to see Jesus as our greater Mediator, praying and standing in the gap for us.
https://newsongpeople.com/messages/loveWhat if the hope you're holding onto isn't actually the kind of hope the Bible promises? What if real hope isn't a wish, a feeling, or a seasonal emotion—but a confident expectation anchored in the unshakeable goodness of God? In this Advent message, we explore why the birth of Jesus in a manger means hope has arrived for everyone, right now. What if cultural Christmas awakens longings it can never fulfill, and only Christ can? How do we live with a hope that doesn't disappoint, especially when life feels chaotic or heavy? And what would change if you lifted your soul to God and stayed close enough to see Him moving? Step into the true meaning of Advent and discover a hope that is firm, secure, and alive.
DAY 8 — The Day of AtonementOnce a year, Israel watched as two goats carried away their sin—one sacrificed, one sent into the wilderness. Today we explore how this ritual pointed to Jesus, our final and perfect substitute. Why can our sins really be forgiven and forgotten? Advent reminds us that Christ came to make us “at-one” with God forever.

DAY 7 — Moses & the God Who RescuesGod saw His people suffering in Egypt and sent Moses to bring them out. Today we look at how Moses' rescue mission points to a greater Deliverer still to come. What does it mean that God hears, remembers, and acts? Advent reminds us that Jesus came to lead us out of a far deeper slavery.

What happens when life strips everything away from us? This powerful exploration invites us into the reality that God specializes in working with leftoversnot what we have in abundance, but what remains after loss. Through the lens of King Nebuchadnezzar's vision in Daniel 4, we discover that when God allows the tree of our lives to be cut down, He deliberately leaves the stump and roots intact. This isn't abandonment; it's preservation with purpose. The message weaves through numerous biblical accountsJob losing everything yet clinging to faith, Gideon's army reduced from 32,000 to 300, Samson's hair beginning to grow back, and the widow with only a flask of oil. Each story reveals the same profound truth: if God allows something to be removed from our lives, it means we don't need it to fulfill His purpose for us. The miracle isn't in what we've lost, but in what God does with what we have left. Whether it's two handfuls of ashes, a servant the enemy discarded, enough strength to touch Jesus' garment, or simply the willingness to obey when faith feels exhaustedGod takes our leftovers and multiplies them beyond imagination. We're challenged to stop rehearsing our losses and instead inventory what remains, because in God's economy, what little we have left is all we need for the great future ahead.
DAY 6 — Joseph: From Pit to Palace (Sarah)Betrayed by his brothers and forgotten in prison, Joseph saw God turn pain into purpose. Today we explore how Joseph's rise to power foreshadows Jesus—the Beloved Son who suffers to save. What others meant for evil, God meant for good. This story invites us to trust God in seasons that feel like “the pit.”
DAY 5 — Jacob the Trickster & God's GraceJacob's life was messy, complicated, and full of failure—yet God's promise continued through him. Today we look at how grace, not goodness, keeps God's story moving. Can God really use people who get it wrong again and again? Jacob shows us just how powerful God's mercy truly is.
DAY 4 — The Promised Son & the SubstituteIsaac's miraculous birth showed God keeps His promises, and the ram on the mountain showed God provides a substitute. Today we explore how this father-and-son moment points forward to Christ. Why would God ask Abraham to give up his beloved son—and what does it reveal about the Son God would one day give for us? This story prepares our hearts for the manger.
DAY 3 — The Promise to AbrahamGod chose an unlikely man and made a promise big enough to bless the whole world. Today we trace that promise—from Abraham's barren household to the birth of Jesus Himself. What kind of God gives everything to someone who deserves nothing? Discover how Advent is rooted in God's unstoppable faithfulness.

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

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
