On this new episode of the "Revival Is Now" podcast Ashley shares how she was set free from a life long struggle with sickness, mental struggles, and debilitating migraines which led to greater struggles in her life affecting her as a wife and Mother. Ashley took over 10 medications every day, was maxed out on all of her medication doses, had up to 26 migraines every month, had celiac disease, allergies and experienced extreme fatigue. From Doctor to Doctor, like the woman with the issue of blood, Ashley was seeking healing and spending time, money, and what little strength she had to find help. Life radically changed as she found Jesus, the Deliverer, moving in power at Five-Fold Church! The life she once lived lost in darkness with little hope, in torment, sickness, addiction and lack was suddenly gone! She and her daughter were delivered of generational curses, the spirit of infirmity and so much more. Her daughter has also been healed! Her marriage, family, and health are all flourishing as she sought Jesus, found His power to free her, planted herself and became equipped. The anointing is destroying darkness and releasing joy in the freedom that is only found in Jesus Christ!   For previous Revival is Now Podcast episodes you can watch here:    Freed From Deception Of The Angel Of Light - Blake's Testimony watch here or listen here.   Married Couple Delivered from M@sturbation Addiction Since Childhood watch here or listen here.   Ex-Witch Shares What Hell is Like, Being Possessed by Demons, Blood Oaths & How She Was Set Free watch here or listen here.

You can't walk in your calling until you walk with the Caller. In this powerful episode, we break down Psalm 18 and uncover 6 names David used to describe the Lord—Rock, Fortress, Deliverer, Strength, Shield, and High Tower. Why does this matter? Because before you do anything with God, you have to believe something about Him. Hebrews 11:6 says you must believe that He exists—and that He rewards those who seek Him. David didn't just serve God. He knew Him. And that intimacy was the key to every battle he won, every psalm he penned, and every legacy he left behind. If you feel like you're striving, stuck, or spiritually dry, this episode will reignite your faith, restore your perspective, and root you deeper in God's character.  

In this “Gospel of God” series, Pastor Jack Graham teaches that from the very first messages we see the Gospel began in the infinite heart and wisdom of God before time began. This promise of Good News moved from Adam and Eve, where even in their sin, God gave them a promise of a Deliverer – the first Gospel. And then moves throughout the pages of the Scripture, where we see this unfolding story of salvation … the story of God's redemption.

Sunday, July 13th 2025 God, Our Deliverer Colossians 2:13-15

Exodus chapter 1 opens the second book of the Bible with a dramatic shift in Israel's story. After the death of Joseph and his generation, a new Pharaoh rises in Egypt who does not remember Joseph's contributions. Seeing the Israelites multiply and thrive, the king grows fearful of their numbers and influence. In response, he enslaves them, subjecting them to harsh labor, and sets out to suppress their population growth. Yet, despite the oppression, the more the Israelites are afflicted, the more they multiply and spread. Pharaoh then commands the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, to kill all newborn Hebrew boys, but they courageously disobey, fearing God more than the king. As a result, God blesses them with families of their own. Finally, Pharaoh intensifies his cruelty by commanding all his people to throw every Hebrew baby boy into the Nile River—setting the stage for the dramatic birth of Moses in the following chapter. Themes in Exodus 1: •The resilience of God's people under oppression •The fear of man vs. the fear of God •The unfolding need for a deliverer •God's quiet providence in dark times #Exodus1 #BibleStudy #HebrewDeliverance #RiseOfMoses #GodOurDeliverer #FaithOverFear #BiblicalHistory #ScriptureTruth #FreedomInGod #GodSeesInSecret #SendMeRadio #OppressionToPromise #FearGodNotMan #BibleChapters #OldTestamentTruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Assyria by this point has long been wiped out, but another power will replace them. Israel will respond with force. More importantly, Jesus will be their peace in a time of turmoil (Micah 5:5) and he will deliver them (Mic 5:6).

Paul loves Israel dearly, and wants them to know that Jesus is, in fact, their promised Messiah. In preaching about putting the law to death, he doesn't want to communicate that Israel has somehow been forgotten or rejected in the process. While not all of Israel will be saved, there will be a remnant chosen by grace. Paul turns to address the Gentiles of Rome directly to show them how important Israel is to their salvation. They, and all who are not of Jewish decent, have been grafted into Israel, which means that the roots planted and secured through Israel are what allow us to thrive and flourish in the life-giving faith that comes through submitting to Jesus, our Deliverer who comes from Zion. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

“David and the God Who Saves” - a lesson on seeing God as a Savior and Deliverer who rescues His people in Christ Jesus in accordance with His steadfast love. Music: “Come, My Soul, Thy Suit Prepare,” Lyrics by John Newton, performed by Theotronica!

For livestream go to https://www.youtube.com/live/xnJg-a_tgCkWe saw last week that the Son was God's beloved Word and Deliverer after the 400 years of "silence." Today, we'll see how he was the perfect King that Israel needed. Unlike the kingdom in the Old Testament, where many kings merely did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, Jesus was the perfect King who announced, demonstrated, and described God's perfect kingdom. And then he ruled it full of grace and truth. He's the King our hearts are genuinely longing for, and we find ourselves most satisfied and delighted when we live with Him as our King.

In this sermon, we studied Judges 2:16–18, where we see the heart of God revealed in His response to His people's rebellion. Even when Israel repeatedly turned from Him to serve other gods, God raised up judges to rescue them—not because they deserved it, but because He was moved by their groaning and suffering. This passage reminds us that our deliverance doesn't depend on our ability to earn it, but on God's mercy. In the book of Judges, we see every earthly "deliverer" ultimately points to the true and final Deliverer—Jesus—who saves us not temporarily, but forever. His compassion moves Him toward us even when we are undeserving, and His faithfulness calls us to trust Him more deeply and surrender more fully.

a lesson on seeing God as a Savior and Deliverer who rescues His people in Christ Jesus in accordance with His steadfast love.

We take a break between finishing Judges this week and moving to Luke next week. I always find the Psalms to be a great passage to use as a break between two different books.  Today, we'll look at Psalm 17. This is a passage that I'll be preaching from later this year, so I've started spending time with it. This is a Psalm of deliverance, a Psalm in which David cries out to God to save him.  God loves him, and God loves us. We are the apple of His eye. He cares for us.  He loves us. He is for us.  Cry out to Him when we need. He is our deliverer!  Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

This week, Daniel Barth leads us in an exploration of Exodus 3 where we delve into the profound moment when God reveals His name to Moses through the burning bush. This pivotal encounter reminds us that God often appears in unexpected places and uses unlikely people for His purposes. Just as He called Moses—a failed, forgotten old man—God can use us in our brokenness and searching. The lesson here is clear: our past doesn't disqualify us from God's calling. Instead, it's when we come to the end of ourselves that we're truly ready for God to work through us. This story challenges us to remain open to God's presence in our lives, even in the 'wastelands,' and to trust His timing, which is often different from our own. As we reflect on God's self-revelation as 'I AM,' we're invited to contemplate His eternal nature and self-sufficiency, finding comfort in the fact that the same God who liberated the Israelites is present and active in our lives today.

The judges of Israel delivered the people time and again from wicked foreign rulers. But Christ is a better deliverer because He saves us from sin and the evil one.

April 27, 2025 - Equipped 2025 - Day 4 - 6:00PM Session   Closing out the workshop, Neal leads a bible of Paul's doxology in the letter to the Romans which references Isaiah 40. In this letter Paul encompasses most of the major lessons from Isaiah which have been discussed throughout the sessions of the Equipped Workshop.    Romans 11 - Israel's Rejection Not Total 11 I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying, 3 “Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life”? 4 But what does the divine response say to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. [a]But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work. 7 What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8 Just as it is written: “God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see And ears that they should not hear, To this very day.” 9 And David says: “Let their table become a snare and a trap, A stumbling block and a recompense to them. 10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, And bow down their back always.” Israel's Rejection Not Final 11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their [b]fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. 12 Now if their [c]fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness! 13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. 15 For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and [d]fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” 20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. 22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, [e]goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? 25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own [f]opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be [g]saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; 27 For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.” 28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, 31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy. 32 For God has [h]committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all. 33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! 34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has become His counselor?” 35 “Or who has first given to Him And it shall be repaid to him?” 36 For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.   Video: 2025 Equipped Workshop 4-27-2025 - To God Be Glory Forever Neal Pollard - YouTube Duration 41:57

God rescues and takes pleasure in the wellbeing of His servants.

Our biggest concern is knowing God. He reveals himself to us in our lives— always at the center—the sovereign ruler. Sparing, delivering, and carrying us throughout the traps and trials. Seating us at His table, no longer enemies, and rejoicing in the One who is the true bread of life.

Sunday, 25 May 2025   You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. Matthew 10:18   “And also upon governors and kings, you will be brought because of Me for a testimony to them and the Gentiles” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told his apostles to beware of men because they would deliver them up to councils and scourge them in their synagogues. Continuing with this thought, He next says, “And also upon governors and kings, you will be brought.”   A new word is introduced here, agó, translated as “brought.” It is a primary verb signifying to lead, bring, drive, etc. In this case, it is future tense with a passive voice, thus “you will be brought.”   In the Bible, the word translated as governors includes positions such as proconsuls, procurators, etc. The title of king is one that is seen at times in the NT, such as Peter's being arrested under the authority of King Herod in Acts 12.   The words of Jesus here certainly would have applied to these apostles to some extent later in their ministries, but the majority of the interaction with such positions, as recorded in the Bible, was between Paul and such men. This is because Luke especially followed the life of Paul as he traveled among the Gentiles.   In fact, the name Paul was probably one taken on by him after his meeting with Sergius Paulus, as is recorded in Acts 13. After that encounter, he is never called Saul again, except when quoting past events. From that time forward, he was known as Paul. As for the reason for being brought before them, Jesus next says, “because of Me.”   This was their life calling. They were apostles of Jesus, and He was sending them forth bearing His name. It may be that even during this early period, they would appear before such positions, but there is nothing specifically recorded concerning it. Whenever it did happen, however, it was “for a testimony to them and the Gentiles.”   The stating of two different categories, “them and the Gentiles,” seems to indicate that the testimony was for the leaders to hear and then bring a positive influence for the gospel on those under them. As many of these would be Gentile leaders, this is where their influence would rest.   As such, what appears to be the case is that this is referring to something such as the trial of Paul in Acts 25, where Festus, Agrippa, and others held trial. The testimony concerning Jesus was to both Jews and Gentiles there, as it was in other situations Paul found himself in. But Paul, like the other apostles, knew in advance this would be the case –   “Then Ananias answered, ‘Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. 14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your name.' 15 But the Lord said to him, ‘Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. 16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name's sake.'” Acts 9:13-16   The words tend to give weight to the thought that while Israel was rejecting the gospel, the Gentiles would begin to be receptive to it.   Life application: The words thus far are intended to show that Israel was given every opportunity to accept Jesus as their Messiah. The testimony to foreign positions of authority and foreigners was actually a part of this. Jesus spoke concerning the sign of Jonah, meaning his preaching.   Jonah said that in forty days, Nineveh was to be destroyed. In the Bible, the often-seen application of such a statement as this is a day for a year. In other words, when Jesus said that the sign of Jonah would be given to them, He was saying that they had forty years to acknowledge Him.   The witness to Gentiles was intended, even from the beginning, to get Israel to see this and turn to Him –   “For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: ‘The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; 27 For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.'” Romans 9:25-27   Paul wrote this during that forty-year period, and from other passages in the New Testament, it seems that it was believed that this blindness would quickly be replaced with sight, the kingdom would be ushered in, and Jesus' return would have taken place.   And yet, we are still waiting for this to take place two thousand years later. Jesus' plan is being worked out, and His church continues to be built. Israel was destroyed, they were exiled, having rejected Jesus, but they will be spiritually restored to usher in the promised millennial kingdom. Their regathering at this time is for this purpose.   They will go through the purification of the tribulation period along with the rest of the world, but they will be saved through it. God's promises will never fail. Let us trust in this and be confident that everything promised will come about as prophesied.   Lord God, there are times in the past when we have misunderstood Your word. Maybe that is still the case today. There may be a long haul before the return of Jesus comes about. All we can do is wait patiently and continue to faithfully proclaim Your word until then. However, it is our desire to see Him really soon! May You speed His coming. How we long to see Jesus. Amen.

Judges 3:7-11

This week, we explored the rich biblical theme of typology, where Old Testament figures and events foreshadow the greater fulfillment found in Christ. From Moses, Solomon, and the land of Canaan, we are pointed to Jesus as the ultimate Deliverer, King, and inheritance. The mysterious figure of Melchizedek highlights the eternal priesthood of Christ. Through Jesus, we are invited to draw near to God with confidence, living not as owners of our resources, but as stewards of His grace and provision.

There is one thing I know after having lived all these years: God wastes nothing. Not our sorrows. Not our wounds. Not even our failures. Hi. I am your host, Dennis Jernigan, and I am so excited about the next 2 weeks of the Dennis Jernigan podcast because I have absolutely loved the subject matter that we've been going through over the past 11 weeks.  We have been going through the 14 songs from my recording “Captured - Songs For The Journey” which were inspired by my fantasy trilogy, “The Chronicles of Bren” and specifically, book one in the series titled, “Captured.” It has been absolutely wonderful for me personally to remember how I felt while writing these books and how certain songs were inspired. Today we'll be focusing on the story behind the song, “The Sleeping Giant.”  Just outside Muskogee, a few miles to the south, there is a hill formation that looks like a giant that has fallen asleep lying on his back. My former pastor, Chuck, actually inspired this character. He told me that when he and his family were driving home one day, one of the children, pointing to the hill formation, said, “Look, dad! A sleeping giant!” Once I heard that phrase, I could not help but see the sleeping giant whenever I drove past. I still refer to it as the sleeping giant to this day.  In the story found in the book “Captured”, the sleeping giant has been around since before time began. The people of Bren pass the story of the sleeping giant down from generation to generation. It was prophesied that he would one day rise and bring salvation or deliverance to the land during its darkest time. They even have a name for the sleeping giant. Reuben.   Reuben means ‘Behold, a son'. He represents the champion, the hero, the one who delivers. Even though he appears to be dormant and completely covered with soil and trees and all manner of foliage, there is a sense of awe and reverence and expectation and hope emanating from this massive landform. When I began to meditate on the character of Reuben I could not help but think of him as a hero…as a Savior.   I have had many heroes in my life. My dad was my first hero…and then Captain James Tiberius Kirk of the Star Ship Enterprise!  I know I have already shared this a few times before, but as a boy, I felt so abandoned on so many levels of my life. I felt utterly captured and saw no way out for myself. I longed for someone to just step in and rescue me and wondered if anyone would ever be able to. I would go to bed each night and dream I was living in space on the USS Enterprise. Each night I was captured by aliens and about to be put to death…and my dad, Captain Kirk, rescued me just as I woke up from these dreams! Every morning for years I woke up feeling rescued!   When I was in high school, my basketball teammates would never let anyone touch me. I was the only white guy on my team yet they embraced me as one of their own and literally protected and rescued me on several occasions, both during games and in the hallways on many a school day! So many things went into the inspiration of Reuben but the greatest inspiration of all? Later in life, I was rescued by Jesus Christ and He became my ultimate hero.   The enemy had held me captive in his lies for so long. When I would cry out to God, it seemed He would not or could not answer me or set me free. I even recall thinking about the way the lies of the enemy took on a mocking tone in my thought life whenever I would ask the Lord for help. He'd say things like, “God doesn't love you. There is nothing in you worth loving,” or, “You're wasting your time. He's not even real,” or, “If God loves you so much, why is He allowing such pain and misery in your life?” On more than one occasion during those dark days I felt like cashing it in…like what's the use? I'm beyond hope; beyond rescue; beyond help…  I find it quite amazing as I look back on such dark times how much encouragement I found in those nightly dreams about being rescued by Captain Kirk. I mean, think about it. Every night I was captured, about to be put to death, and each morning I woke up feeling rescued. I have absolutely no doubt those dreams were given to me by the Lord to help me keep hanging on.  This week's song, “The Sleeping Giant”, is a prayer to The Founders (God the Father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit) and specifically to Reuben - Jesus. Listen to this heart cry and imagine Jesus being awakened by your heart's deepest longing for rescue…and imagine the fact that He was not asleep after all… SONG    Remember what I said about Reuben earlier? Reuben means ‘Behold, a son'. He represents the champion, the hero, the one who delivers. He represents Jesus in the story, but the enemy of Bren, the dark lord, Lucian, sees his dark powers being pierced by the light as Reuben reveals Himself as the Deliverer. To Lucian, it felt as if he had just awakened a sleeping giant because…  Well, I'll leave the story here because I don't want to spoil it for you if you're reading the book, “Captured.” My hope is that you would discover joy and solace within the pages of the books and the melodies of the songs. May they serve as uplifting companions, guiding you to encounter Jesus even amidst life's toughest trials. Thank you for tuning in to The Dennis Jernigan Podcast.
