Take a Stand: A Look Within by Dr Shanequa E Wilson https://www.amazon.com/Take-Stand-Dr-Shanequa-Wilson/dp/B0GY1TCJZW Sovereignchristianuniversity.com Theawakeningvoice.vonza.com Are you observing the collapse – or discerning your role in it? ________________________________________ In an age of moral compromise, fractured identity, and silent surrender, Take a Stand: A Look Within confronts a truth many refuse to face: The instability shaking nations is rooted in the instability within individuals. This is not a political argument. It is not cultural commentary. It is a summons to accountability before God. Dr. Shanequa E. Wilson exposes the war within – the internal erosion of conviction, the distortion of identity, and the quiet agreements made with fear, culture, and compromise. From generational foundations to modern-day deception, she dismantles false narratives that have shaped minds, weakened families, and diluted spiritual authority. Through biblical examination, national reflection, and personal confrontation, this work moves beyond observation and into repositioning. It challenges readers to: – Examine the internal agreements fueling external chaos – Discern the spiritual forces influencing societal direction – Reclaim identity grounded in truth – Stand with clarity in a time demanding courage This book is not designed for passive readers. It is written for those willing to confront themselves before confronting the world. The battle is not merely around you. It is within you. And where you stand internally determines what you will stand for publicly.

As a parent, one of your most significant roles is to prepare your children for the world outside your home. But how do you ensure they are spiritually equipped to face challenges and make meaningful decisions? In this episode, we'll explore insights from Shellee Howard, an expert on helping families navigate their children's gifts and talents. You'll learn actionable strategies to spiritually prepare your children as they step into adulthood.

Hey Winner, If you've ever found yourself second-guessing decisions, overanalyzing every move, or wondering why your business feels heavier than it should, this conversation is for you. In today's episode, I'm joined by Heather O'Brien, prophetic healing coach, author, and host of the Heal with God podcast. Together, we explore why so many entrepreneurial struggles aren't actually strategy problems at all, and what changes when we slow down long enough to ask God what's really going on beneath the surface. Heather shares how fear, unresolved pain, or old belief systems often masquerade as procrastination, burnout, or confusion, and how learning to discern the true root brings clarity and peace even before circumstances change. If you're faithful, capable, and doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, this episode offers a gentler, wiser way forward. Rooting for you ~ Gabe   New to the podcast?

Galatians 5:22-24, ESV BIBLICAL GOODNESS IS ROOTED IN GOD'S CHARACTER Goodness = Agathosune 18 Moses said, "Please show me your glory." 19 And he said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name 'The Lord.' And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. Exodus 33:18-19, ESV I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good. Psalm 54:6, ESV 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father." John 10:11-18, ESV GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17, ESV Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Psalm 34:8, ESV As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. Genesis 50:20, ESV Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." Job 1:21, ESV 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Romans 8:28-29, ESV GOODNESS IS NOT ABOUT OUTER BEHAVIOR BUT INNER TRANSFORMATION If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! Matthew 7:11, ESV How can we Cultivate goodness in our lives? How can we Cultivate goodness in our lives? 1. Discern what is good Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2, ESV 2. Imitate what is good Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God. 3 John 1:11, ESV LEAVE A LEGACY OF GOODNESS In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Thursday, 30 April 2026   For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it.” Matthew 19:12   Note: You can listen to today's commentary courtesy of our friends at the “Bible in Ten” podcast. (Click Here to listen)   You can also read this commentary, scrolling with music, courtesy of our friends at “Discern the Bible” on YouTube. (Click Here to listen), or at Rumble (Click Here to listen).   “For they are eunuchs who from mother's womb were born thus, and they are eunuchs who, they were eunuchized by men, and they are eunuchs who, they eunuchized themselves through the ‘kingdom, the heavens'. The ‘being able to contain' he contains.” (CG)   In the previous verse, Jesus told the disciples about those who could accept the premise concerning whether to marry or not. He next explains who those exceptions would be, beginning, “For they are eunuchs who, ‘from mother's womb' were born thus.”   A new word is seen here, the noun eunouchos, a eunuch. Strong's definition says, “a castrated person (such being employed in Oriental bed-chambers); by extension an impotent or unmarried man; by implication, a chamberlain (state-officer) -- eunuch.” The word is derived from eune, a bed, and echo, to have or hold. As such, the idea of “alone in bed” is understood.   Jesus' words of this first clause extend the idea of being a eunuch to a person born incapable of sex. Such a person is the first exception to the thought presented in the previous verse. Jesus continues, saying, “and they are eunuchs who, they were eunuchized by men.”   Another new word is seen, the verb eunouchizó, to eunuchize. It signifies making someone unable to procreate through mutilation or removal of the genitals (castration). The practice was once common. Today, it is much less common, but it has not died out. Religious cults and isolated subcultures still engage in the practice.   Further, sexual criminals are still castrated either through surgery or chemical castration. These are the second exception. The third category is noted as Jesus continues, “and they are eunuchs who, they eunuchized themselves through the ‘kingdom, the heavens'.”   This is the second and last use of the verb eunouchizó. As noted, the word extends beyond the standard idea of castration. It will figuratively be applied to those who don't engage in sexual activity for other reasons, including impotency or abstinence.   Some people are disciplined enough not to engage in sexual activity. They have placed something else above that aspect of life. In the case of acceptable self-denial, Jesus notes that there are those who have purposefully decided to pursue the kingdom of the heavens above marriage.   Paul was in this category. He refers to it in 1 Corinthians 7 and 1 Corinthians 9. He placed kingdom priorities above taking a wife. These are the three exceptions that are noted. The intent of Jesus' words is that, apart from these categories, marriage is the normally expected avenue for humanity. This is reflected in Jesus' final words on the matter, “The ‘being able to contain' he contains.”   In other words, if you fall into one of these categories, then your state is an acceptable exception to the original intent for humanity, which is to marry and remain married to your spouse.   Life application: In 1 Timothy 4, Paul says –   “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.” 1 Timothy 4:1-5   There are problems with forcing abstinence on others. First, it is contrary to the intent set forth for humanity as given in the first pages of Scripture. Second, it generally leads to other, more deviant side problems.   Paul's words in these verses are like an indictment on Roman Catholicism, penned in advance of the rise of that ideology. In order to serve the Lord as a “priest” or a “nun,” there must be a vow of abstinence, something not found in Scripture. It forces people to go against what is natural. That has led to sexual deviancy within their orders that is almost unmatched in any religion in history.   Homosexuality, molesting of children, violation of the “vows” between priests and lay people, or priests and the nunnery have filled Roman Catholicism since its inception. The RCC also commands that adherents abstain from certain foods at certain times, such as on certain days of the week.   These completely unbiblical practices set it off as the world's largest aberrant cult. Deviation from the Bible, either through allowing what it does not allow or commanding what it does not forbid, is wholly unacceptable. Be sure to stick with the Bible. Reject any teaching in any denomination or local church that does not comply with what the Bible presents.   Lord God, help us to know and apply Your precious word to our lives. May we not deviate from it. If we have had something contrary to what it teaches trained into us, help us to identify that precept and cut it out of our lives. May it be so to Your glory. Amen.

Discern the Spirit | Pastor Matthew Medick | 4/26/2026 by Redeeming Love Church

Have you ever wondered, Am I really hearing God's voice? Maybe you prayed, stepped out in faith, and then found yourself facing heartbreak, confusion, or disappointment. Maybe you've questioned if it was truly God leading you—or just your own emotions.In this powerful and hope-filled episode I sit down with author, speaker, Bible teacher, and podcast host Rachael Groll to talk about one of the questions so many believers wrestle with: How do I know when God is speaking?Rachael shares her deeply personal story of an international adoption journey that ended in devastation when the son she was trying to adopt was trafficked. After pouring prayer, finances, hope, and love into bringing a child home, she and her husband had to choose to trust God through profound loss.Through that painful season, Rachael discovered a life-anchoring truth: God's voice never contradicts His Word, and discernment is not built on feelings—it is built through knowing God's character, fellowship with Him, His promises, and Truth in Scripture.Together, Jayme and Rachael discuss her newly released devotional, Hearing Jesus: 365 Daily Encounters with Jesus, and unpack how you can grow in confidence hearing God's voice, discerning truth, trusting Him in difficult seasons, and obeying His leading with peace.If you've ever struggled with confusion when seeking God's direction, this conversation will strengthen your faith and encourage your heart.Connect with Rachael! https://www.rachaelgroll.com/Perfect for Mother's Day!

Welcome to the Celestial Insights Podcast, the show that brings the stars down to Earth! Each week, astrologer, coach, and intuitive Celeste Brooks of Astrology by Celeste will be your guide. Her website is astrologybyceleste.com.  

The Church did not spread through comfort. It spread through scattering. In this next part of our journey through Acts, we see how opposition, persecution, and unexpected moments push the early believers beyond Jerusalem and into the world. What looked like disruption was actually God's design. As the Church is scattered, the gospel moves further than ever before, and the mission continues through us today.

In this episode, I get super practical about mission in normal-sized churches. We walk through three big questions: Is anyone hungry? 

No todo lo que parece correcto lo es. La vida presenta decisiones que no se reducen a lo bueno o lo malo, sino a lo que conviene y lo que verdaderamente edifica. El Señor Jesús veía más allá de lo evidente. Discernía intenciones, entendía los momentos y respondía con verdad. Esa claridad no provenía de análisis humano, sino de una comunión constante con el Padre. El discernimiento no surge de manera automática. Se forma con el tiempo, a través de la Palabra, la oración y una sensibilidad espiritual cultivada. Una vida sin discernimiento se vuelve vulnerable a la confusión. En cambio, una vida guiada por Dios aprende a distinguir con precisión. Ver con claridad evita tropiezos innecesarios y orienta cada paso con firmeza. Así que busca desarrollar discernimiento espiritual. Dios guía a quienes desean ver más allá de lo evidente. La Biblia dice en Filipenses 1:9-10: “Que vuestro amor abunde… en todo conocimiento y discernimiento”. (RV1960).

In this message from the Spiritual Authority: Restored in Christ sermon series, Chad Everett unpacks the prophetic timeline found in Daniel 9 and brings clarity to what Scripture calls the 70th week—revealing how it connects directly to the times we are living in right now. This teaching goes beyond simply explaining end-times prophecy. It helps believers understand how to discern the times through Scripture, not through culture, media, or political perspectives. Chad walks step-by-step through the 70 weeks prophecy, showing how the first 69 weeks were fulfilled with incredible precision—from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the coming of Jesus as the Messiah. If God was that accurate in fulfilling what has already happened, then what does that mean for what is still ahead? The focus of this message shifts to the final, unfulfilled 70th week—a future seven-year period that Scripture describes in detail. Chad explains what to watch for, including the role of a coming world leader, a peace agreement involving Israel, and the significant shift that takes place halfway through that timeline. By connecting Daniel's prophecy with passages in Revelation, this message brings a clear and grounded understanding of what the Bible says about the days ahead. But the heart of this message is not just information—it's perspective. “That we can watch the news right now and follow the Bible.” — Chad Everett In a world filled with competing voices and constant headlines, this message calls believers to step back and anchor their understanding in God's Word. It challenges us to move away from interpreting events through a political or cultural lens and instead see clearly through the lens of Scripture. Many people missed Jesus when He came the first time—even though the timeline was written in Scripture. This message is a reminder that understanding the Word of God is essential if we want to recognize what He is doing today. The Roads Church - https://theroads.church

I Thessalonians 2 The Man of Lawlessness Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Stand Firm 13 But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. 14 To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter. 16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.   I John 2:19-27 18 Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. 20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. 21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he made to us—eternal life. 26 I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. 27 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.   Introduction: Understanding the Last Days The Reality of Lawlessness and Deception (2 Thessalonians 2:1–5)   The Man of Lawlessness: Future and Pattern (2 Thessalonians 2:6–10) The Spirit of Antichrist Is Already Here (1 John 2:18–23)   False Christs vs. the True Christ  Truth as Protection (1 John 2:24–27)  Christ Reigns Over All Deception  Application: How We Must Live           Discern Doctrine Carefully           Abide in Christ           Do Not Be Deceived  Conclusion: Victory in Christ
