Podcasts about Discernment

Ryan launches a multi-part series, Twisted Passions, addressing homosexuality and same-sex attraction from a biblical framework. He establishes why pastors should clearly preach what Scripture says while also equipping the church to counsel and care for strugglers, and he outlines upcoming topics: Is this sin “different,” are people “born this way,” and how do we raise kids in a sexualized culture? The aim is clarity, compassion, and confident hope in Christ for real victory.Topics DiscussedWhy churches must preach plainly on homosexuality (OT & NT texts)Common progressive rebuttals and why they don't hold up biblically (e.g., “love = affirmation,” misuse of John 8)Word study: ἀρσενοκοίτης and Paul's clarity in 1 Cor 6 / 1 Tim 1Beyond the pulpit: moving from denunciation to discipleship and counseling in the local churchShepherding kids in a perverted culture; building a proactive family planInviting listener questions/testimonies for future episodesKey TakeawaysScripture speaks clearly; pastors should, too—without hatred or compromise.“Love the sinner; hate the sin” isn't a cliché—Jesus says, “Go and sin no more.”Paul's terminology intentionally names male-with-male practice; it isn't vague.Churches must pair clear preaching with hands-on help for real people.Parents need an intentional, early plan to disciple children amid cultural lies.Ready to download the Cord App?

In this episode, I talk about common relationship misconceptions, like:“I thought he was the one just because he's Christian,”“I prayed for God to remove him, He didn't, so we should stay together,” or“He was the one and I'll never find anyone else because of all my mistakes.”I also dig into modesty, heart posture, and why character, growth, and faith alignment matter more than labels. Plus, I share practical advice for singles on building relationships that really reflect God's principles.

Today is part 2 of the conversation with Dr. Melesse Woldetsadik. We are following up on the need for discernment when blaming problems on the spiritual realm. In our post-modern world we have a tendency to dismiss spiritual beings to focus on science, and yet there are moments and situations that cannot be solved through the medical world or psychiatry. But others can, right? So how do we hold all these tools and how do we know which tool is needed for a particular problem? How do we know when medicine is a valuable part of the solution and when prayer is THE solution? Contact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.Join Cyndi Parker's  Patreon Team!

Spiritual gifts discernment can feel almost impossible when every mystical experience makes you second-guess yourself. Maybe you've felt a nudge in prayer, a vivid dream, or an intuitive knowing — only to wonder if it's God, your imagination, or something darker. You want to trust what you're experiencing, but the fear of “getting it wrong” or betraying your faith keeps you stuck in doubt.In this episode of Leading With Spirit, we're joined by TruthSeekah and Arien, who open up about their own journeys as Christian mystics, breaking through religious conditioning, navigating fear, and finding God's voice in mystical experiences. Their stories pull back the curtain on the uneasy space between faith and spiritual curiosity.You'll walk away feeling less tangled in the constant doubt that makes you question every inner nudge.✨✨ If this episode spoke to the part of you that's been told your gifts are “dangerous” or “not of God”…You don't need to shut them down to stay safe. The Sacred Directions Archetypes can help you see where your gifts fit in the larger spiritual design — and why they've felt so hard to trust until now.

In this episode, I'm joined again by Mano Elia for a wide-ranging conversation on discernment, community, and the spiritual struggle of our time. We're not in an age where truth is hidden anymore; everything, from truth to lies, is out in the open. The real challenge is no longer finding information, but seeing clearly through it. What we face now isn't a war of disinformation; it's a war of discernment. Mano and I zoom out from the noise of world events to explore the deeper physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of our modern crisis. We discuss how evil reveals itself openly in today's culture, how digital life isolates us, and why the ultimate answer isn't political power or conspiracy-chasing, but a return to Christ, creativity, and tangible community. The conversation also challenges common misunderstandings about the so-called "black pill" mindset. While many look for salvation in politics or cultural battles, Mano and I argue that the only true white pill is Christ Himself.

“Your team of light is 24/7. Invitation is the on-switch.” In this playful, grounded convo, Jane and Sarah explore how intuition and spirit guides actually work in real life—no pedestal, no gatekeeping. From discerning inner noise vs. guidance, to creating a “secret garden” meeting place, to asking for divine and sacred support, they share stories, exercises, and synchronicities (hello, 444) that make guidance feel natural. You'll hear about shamanic journeying, channeled writing, two-way prayer, and why names aren't the point—relationship is. Expect joy, evidence, and practical steps to build trust with your team of light.   Major takeaways Guidance ≈ intuition amplified: your guides often speak through your intuitive channel. Discernment matters: notice the difference between old mental “tapes,” fear, and the clear, kind, neutral tone of guidance. Names aren't required: labels help humans, but the relationship + resonance are what count. Ask for divine and sacred support: specificity raises signal quality; you can even verify by asking, “Are you divine and sacred?” Free will is real: guides rarely intervene unless invited—ask for help clearly and often. Build a meeting place: Jane's “secret garden/spring” visualization (or your version) creates a stable portal for guidance. Practice = proof: little exercises (who's calling? how many will show up?) strengthen trust before the big moments. Presence is a superpower: gratitude + body awareness tune your antenna to signs and synchronicities. Loved ones can be “guardians”: beautiful support, and when doing healing/skill work, call in the specialists. Try two-way prayer & channeled writing: ask a question (“Dear Love, what would you have me know today?”) then receive.   “Guidance is often the same voice as intuition—just clearer and kinder.” “Ask for divine and sacred help, and then ask, ‘Are you divine and sacred?' Truth can't lie.” “I don't need a guide's name to feel the guidance—the relationship is the point.” “Free will means they won't drive your bus unless you hand them the keys.” “Presence is the portal. Gratitude is the tuning fork.”   WTF Just Happened  (Liz Entin's podcast) - Karen Doherty  Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

Today we're discussing the debate between feminists and non-feminists, and why I side with the non-feminists for biblical reasons. Just because women can do some of what men do doesn't mean we should. We'll also continue discussing the Charlie Kirk case, Erika Kirk's strange behavior, why being a widow doesn't automatically make you innocent, and why it's deeply concerning that TPUSA refuses to distance itself from Israel, even as Charlie's final words publicly challenged Israel, Judaism, and the control of figures like Ben Shapiro over the conservative movement.

In this episode Rev Zoë Garry is joined by the Rev. Daniel Heath, Davidson College's Associate Chaplain and Director of the Davidson Forum to talk about conversations on college campuses and reflecting on moments of discernment within their own journeys. Rev. Heath also serves as Chaplain for Major League Soccer's Charlotte FC. He earned degrees at Morehouse College, University of North Carolina School of Law, Winthrop University, and Princeton Theological Seminary. He recently celebrated 18 years of marriage to Katrina; they have two beautiful sons.

Wisdom leads to discernment, which enables us to consider matters from different perspectives. This helps us determine the right course of action. 

In a world that tells our girls to "trust their feelings" above all else, how can we teach them to discern truth from deception? Join hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose for a rich, Spirit-led conversation on growing discernment—the ability to recognize God's truth, resist deception, and make wise decisions rooted in faith.  Rachael and Natalie explore the difference between simply following our instincts and tuning our hearts to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from both Scripture and real-life parenting moments, they unpack how discernment is more than a gut feeling—it's a trained skill that develops over time through prayer, Scripture study, and a deep relationship with Christ.  You'll also hear from Patti Garibay, American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus, as she shares a powerful Raising Godly Girls Minute, reminding parents to equip their daughters to spot Satan's subtle lies before they strike. Together, the hosts offer practical tools to help parents nurture girls who are both aware and anchored—unafraid of the world's deception because they are grounded in the Word.  By the end of this episode, you'll be encouraged to create intentional rhythms of prayer and conversation at home that help your daughter discern what's true, what's eternal, and what's simply noise. When she learns to slow down, listen, and seek God's wisdom first, she'll become a young woman confident in her calling and courageous in her convictions.  Three Key Points to Remember  Identity forms discernment. A girl who knows who and Whose she is becomes less vulnerable to the world's deception.  Discernment takes practice. Like a muscle, it grows stronger through consistency, clarity, and Scripture-guided reflection.  Prayer anchors discernment. Prayer is not passive—it's a weapon. Teach your girl to pray for wisdom and spiritual alertness daily.    Scripture References in This Episode  1 Corinthians 16:13 – "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong."  Philippians 1:9–11 – "That your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment…"  Ephesians 6:10–18 – The armor of God and the call to pray in the Spirit at all times.  Psalm 119:66 – "Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments."  2 Corinthians 11:14 – "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light."  Deuteronomy 6:6–7 – Parents are called to teach God's commands diligently to their children.  For more from Natalie Ambrose, visit natalieatwell.com.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.  To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

This week's episode feels more like an unfolding than a plan. After a recent session with her coach and intuitive mentor, Kerri shares a revelation that stopped her in her tracks:Sometimes our devotion to people and outcomes quietly replaces our devotion to God.In this deeply personal conversation, Kerri explores how her vow of devotion - once her greatest strength - began to cloud her discernment in leadership, business, and life. She unpacks what it looks like to realign that loyalty upward, reframing HR as Holy Resourcing: leading through structure, stewardship, and Spirit. If you've ever wrestled with overcommitting, people-pleasing, or carrying more than your share in the name of professionalism or faithfulness, this episode will meet you right where you are.In This EpisodeThe moment Kerri realized her devotion to people had replaced her devotion to GodWhy “doing the right thing” can sometimes become self-abandonmentHow to recognize when loyalty turns into depletionWhat Holy Resourcing (HR) really means - structure, stewardship, and SpiritReintegrating faith and work without turning your business into a ministryThe difference between being scaffolding for others vs. being a steady light beside themReflection: Where is your devotion guiding you, and where might it be blinding you?Reflection PromptTake a few minutes this week to ask yourself:Where is my devotion guiding me closer to alignment?Where might it be blinding me to what God is actually asking of me?ConnectLearn more about Holy Resourcing and Kerri's consulting work at SaltAndLightAdvisors.comFollow Kerri on Instagram: @kerrimrobertsAre you a small business owner or leader and want to learn more about HR in a Box?

Have you been working on a talk, a message, or a project that you know God has placed on your heart—but everything seems to get in the way? There's a reason it feels hard to speak truth and share light in the world. The enemy knows the power your voice holds. And if he can't destroy your calling, he'll do everything he can to distract, discourage, or silence you.  Using the story of The Little Mermaid as a powerful metaphor, I share why the enemy targets your voice—and how to discern whether what you're facing is simply mindset and skill-building or true spiritual warfare. You'll learn:How to recognize when your resistance may be spiritual in naturePractical and spiritual ways to protect and strengthen your voiceWhy prayer, discernment, and obedience are your greatest defensesThe truth about what God asks of those He calls to speakThis conversation will remind you that your voice matters, your message is sacred, and you are never fighting alone.Now I'd love to hear from you!

They're showing you something you haven't owned yet.In this episode, I delve into the distinction between shadow projection and mirror reflection, and why it matters for anyone who aspires to lead, heal, or simply act with greater integrity. We unpack the subtle ways projection hides in plain sight, how it sneaks into your reactions, and why it's often rooted in the parts of yourself you've pushed away.This isn't about blaming or fixing. It's about awareness, learning to recognize when your judgments are really mirrors, when your triggers are teachers, and when it's time to take back your power from what you've projected. Sometimes the hardest work isn't seeing others clearly, but seeing yourself without distortion. Once you start catching your own projections, everything changes, especially your peace.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[01:48] What shadow projection really means and how it hides behind judgment[05:36] Why emotionally “informed” people often project the most without realizing it[07:12] The real reason others trigger you, and what it reveals about your inner work[09:45] How mirror reflection helps you see your strengths and wounds more clearly[11:33] The subtle ways wanting validation or being “seen” can expose hidden shadows[13:02] What feeling “not enough” actually signals about self-worth and authenticity[15:21] Why overpraising others can be just as revealing as criticism[18:47] The difference between constructive feedback and projection in disguise[21:40] How to spot, own, and integrate your projections so you stop giving away your peaceFind More From Dr. Stephanie Davis:Dr. Stephanie Davis | WebsiteQuantum Rx | InstagramQuantum Rx | Skool

Justin continues the Anchored series by calling us to be a people rooted in scripture and trained to tell truth from counterfeit. From Peter's warning about false teachers to today's algorithm-shaped echo chambers, we learn how to slow down, listen for Jesus' whisper, and weigh every voice by the ABCs—Affirming, Biblical, Christlike. Practical steps include fasting, living in community, and choosing conviction over condemnation.

Reclaiming Truth: The 5-Step Blueprint for Deconstructing Weaponized NarrativesIn this Word of the Day Deep Dive, the hosts explore one of the most urgent and misunderstood concepts of our time — Truth. Once considered absolute, truth has become fragmented, manipulated, and often weaponized in modern discourse. This episode breaks down the five essential steps to reclaim it: Awareness, Inquiry, Discernment, Alignment, and Action.Through thought-provoking dialogue, the hosts reveal how truth can be distorted through repetition, emotion, and social amplification — and how individuals can consciously deconstruct false narratives by returning to inner clarity and shared reality. This blueprint isn't just philosophical; it's practical. Listeners are invited to apply each step in daily life — from the media they consume to the stories they tell.Ultimately, Reclaiming Truth challenges the listener to pause, reflect, and realign with authenticity in a noisy world. Because reclaiming truth isn't about proving who's right — it's about rediscovering what's real.Learn more at DailySuccessMedia.comSource: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/reclaiming-truth-a-5-step-blueprint-to-deconstruct-weaponized-narratives-word-of-the-day-deep-dive

Crystal Rivers | Word for Now | Nov 3, 2025 Let your mind be renewed until you can test and prove God's good, acceptable, and perfect will in real time. Read Scripture like a map of “holy hyperlinks”: when you see patterns (120 in the upper room; the cloud that filled the tabernacle and temple; the smoke that fills the temple in Revelation 15), grasp the message—when God's glory (His light) fills His house, reality is revealed. That revealing is what Scripture calls “wrath”: not God lashing out, but light exposing and undoing whatever partners with death. Treat sin like cancer—small mutations that look harmless until they consume; do not negotiate with it. Refuse the world's narratives that keep the “old man” animated; walk by the light of what God says of you in Christ. Go deeper: how to live this now • Rule your inputs. Curate what you watch, read, and repeat. Your “inner light” is shaped by your daily feed. Replace doom-scroll with Word-scroll. • Daily exchange. Morning and night: (1) confess what's false, (2) declare what's true “in Christ,” (3) take one concrete action within 24 hours that agrees with truth. • Short accounts. Repent fast, forgive fast, reconcile fast. Don't sleep with accusation in your mouth or offense in your heart. • Welcome exposure. Ask trusted believers to lovingly confront blind spots. Treat reproof as mercy, not shame. • Train imagination. Meditate until you see yourself acting like Jesus in specific pressures—then go do it. • Fast strategically. Use food, media, and comfort fasts to break agreement with “old-man” reflexes. Pair every fast with extra Word and prayer. • Pray for light, not ease. Ask for illumination that makes sin impossible to hide and obedience easy to choose. • Practice generosity. Give time, honor, and money where it costs you. It starves pride and feeds love. Reading numbers as hyperlinks (so symbols serve obedience) • 12 → Governmental maturity (tribes/apostles). • 10 → Testing/completeness of order. • 100 → Fullness/fruitfulness. • 120 → Priestly fullness unto glory (echoing the trumpeting priests). • 144,000 → A picture of completeness multiplied (mature, sealed people across tribes), pointing to a people formed into Christ, not mere headcount. Use symbols to aim your life: pursue maturity, tested obedience, fruit that remains, priestly worship, and sealed allegiance. Discernment drills (5 minutes each) 1. Light Check: “What am I believing right now? Does it agree with the Word or with fear/pride?” Replace the lie with a verse and an action. 2. Speech Guard: Before replying, ask: “Will these words sow light or feed death?” If neutral or dark, wait. 3. Peace Barometer: If peace drops, trace the last agreement you made (thought, word, click). Break it; agree with truth again. 4. Mercy Reflex: When someone fails, act in the opposite spirit within one hour: bless, cover, help. 5. Hidden Yes: Do one obedient act daily that only God sees. It trains you for a glory-filled temple where flesh cannot posture. Community rhythms that make holiness feel like love • Confession before communion. Normalize brief, specific confession and prayer before worship. • Testimony of exposure → restoration. Celebrate stories where light revealed sin and produced healing. • Prophetic with process. Words that expose should come with a path to restore (scripture, steps, accountability, time frame). • Hospitality as warfare. Open tables dismantle isolation, bitterness, and secret agreements with darkness. Pitfalls to refuse • Spectator faith. Consuming teachings without practicing them calcifies the heart. • Cynicism disguised as discernment. Testing everything is biblical; scorning everything is unbelief. • End-times fear. Revelation's aim is loyalty and hope, not panic. Read for the glory outcome. • Selective obedience. Partial yes is a slow no; it keeps the “old man” on life support. A simple daily liturgy (10 minutes) 1. Present: “Lord, I present my body a living sacrifice.” 2. Renew: Read a short passage; speak one sentence of obedience you'll do today. 3. Renounce: Name any lie/accusation; replace it with truth out loud. 4. Request: “Flood my heart with light. Make exposure my friend and love my reflex.” 5. Release: Bless an enemy, a rival, or a critic by name. Lean into that future now—detox from worldliness, fast and pray, saturate your imagination with the Word, stay tender and quick to repent, forgive before you feel it, welcome loving correction, and build communities where prophetic clarity, humility, and mercy make compromise impossible. Search out what God has hidden for you (not from you): the unsearchable riches of Christ will meet you as you seek. Live like a king who searches matters out; love like a bride who reads the romance in every parable; and let your daily choices agree with the light you intend to live by.

God has designed us for more than our current spiritual experience. While wisdom is essential for growth, it works alongside four other crucial areas: understanding, knowledge, instruction, good judgment, and discernment. Understanding means truly comprehending God's Word, while knowledge comes through study and life experience. Instruction involves receiving correction and guidance from God, even when uncomfortable. Good judgment requires making decisions based on future outcomes rather than living only in the moment. Discernment develops through intimate relationship with Jesus, knowing what pleases Him. Spiritual growth happens through daily choices - each godly decision draws us closer to God and leads to the abundant life He has planned for us.

Want to grow in wisdom? Proverbs 13:20 shows us a powerful truth: when you walk closely with those who trust and honor God, their wisdom becomes yours too. But that doesn't mean we should be isolated from the world. Listen now and be inspired to choose your companions wisely and reflect the beauty of God's wisdom in every area of your life.

Discernment alone isn't enough. The sword must find its counter-movement in worship. In this conversation, Patrick and Jonah explore Revelation 12's great battle—Michael's sword casting down the dragon, and the Lamb whose gentleness completes the victory. They linger on how clarity without reverence can harden into pride, and how only devotion to the Lamb protects the soul from the very forces it tries to understand.Through Vladimir Soloviev's Tale of the Antichrist and C.S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength, they trace the subtle temptation to know evil but never kneel before the Good. True discernment, they suggest, leads to communion: the sword prepares the way, but worship restores life.Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

Did you know that the concept of spiritual covering originated from the "Shepherding Movement" in the 1970s? Many prideful leaders are pounding ungodly doctrine down the throats of many wounded Christians ... manipulating and trying to gain control over souls, which is a form of witchcraft. This pattern is still being witnessed in various churches and on social media as a worldly recognition; often involving occult impartations and the glorification of self! A spiritual covering is NOT required for accountability. Let's be clear: You're covering and ultimate authority belongs to God, NOT man! Be wary of leaders who twist Scripture and prioritize submission to themselves over God.

In this episode, we explores the divine principle of destiny helpers—the people, systems, and spiritual forces God positions to accelerate one's progress. Drawing from the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda (John 5:1–7), Rev. Roland reveals that being surrounded by people doesn't guarantee help; discernment and humility are key. He emphasizes that while the Holy Spirit is our ultimate helper, God also works through human connections, timing, and relationships to bring about promotion and fulfillment of destiny. Listeners are encouraged to identify, honor, and nurture the divine relationships that God has placed in their lives, understanding that no one rises alone. Key Takeaways Destiny helpers are divine connections orchestrated for your progress. Discernment is crucial — not every friend is a helper, but every helper is a friend of destiny. Honor the indispensable helpers God places in your life. Humility and relationship management keep divine help flowing.

Let's play a little mind game this morning.  If you were the devil, how would you win souls?  We've been taught to picture Satan as a hideous creature — red skin, horns, and a tail — but that's not the Bible's description. Scripture says he masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). This means he can appear appealing, inspiring, and even godly. He can preach, sing, serve, smile, and seduce — all while scheming.Satan can take the form of anything, and here's the kicker — he's well aware of what's appealing to you.  He has studied our habits, our patterns, our pain points, likes, and dislikes. He knows what peaks our interest and how to impress us.While most believers don't take the time to study his tactics, he's been studying ours since Eden. He knows our type, our trigger, and our taste.  He knows what flattering words feed our egos.  He knows what to offer to bait your greed, and what version of “truth” to present that won't raise your suspicion.CLOSING SONG: "Holy Spirit" by Francesca BattistelliSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

In a world that celebrates hustle and self-promotion, what happens when wisdom and ambition collide?This episode follows the tense return of Absalom — David's son, whose charm, strategy, and ambition turned into a full-blown conspiracy against his father. As David flees barefoot and broken, we see a profound picture of leadership, humility, and divine discernment.When Wisdom Meets Ambition invites you to examine the motives that drive your influence. Are you seeking to serve or to be seen? David's story reminds us that real wisdom doesn't manipulate outcomes — it trusts God's timing, even in seasons of humiliation or setback.Scripture Focus: 2 Samuel 14–16Themes: Ambition, Discernment, Leadership, God's Mercy in ConsequenceReflection Prompt: Where in your life do you need to trade self-promotion for surrender?You can order the devotionals at https://amzn.to/4h8zFe6 or https://wisdomcalling.orgFollow us on Instagram: @wisdomcallingnow

In this illuminating conversation, Sydney Campos welcomes author and spiritual teacher Steve Ahnael Nobel—founder of Soul Matrix Healing and creator of hundreds of transformative meditations reaching over 190K listeners worldwide. Together, they explore the multidimensional awakening now unfolding on Earth, weaving through themes of starseed remembrance, dark nights of the soul, and the courage to embody higher frequencies amidst planetary transformation.

Topics include: The real meaning of "starseed" and the multidimensional nature of soul origins Navigating dark nights, psychic interference, and entity clearing with compassion and sovereignty The importance of discernment in today's saturated spiritual landscape Planetary grid activations—from Mount Shasta to the Bosnian pyramids—and their connection to the Pleiadian field The evolution of the ego into allyship with the Higher Self Embodying truth, play, and presence as the ultimate spiritual technology This episode is both a transmission and teaching, inviting listeners to deepen trust in their intuition, ground their light through ordinary moments, and remember why they chose to be here—right now, on this ascending planet.

Hello, my friends in Monsterland. Join us tonight on The Untold Radio Network's Real American Monsters as we welcome Linda Sigman to the studio. Linda isn't just a witness—she's a survivor. In 1967, at just 16 years old, near the banks of the Ohio River (20 miles from Point Pleasant, WV), Linda had a terrifying, life-altering encounter with a massive cryptid she identified as the Mothman, alongside two unidentified flying objects (UFOs).This shocking event is only one part of her incredible story. Linda is a lifelong Psychic Empath with the rare gift of Discernment, having experienced the paranormal since age 3, when she recalls a visit from her Guardian Angel. Now, she considers these gifts a blessing, using them to help others process their own unexplained experiences.

Take Off the Masks: Choosing God's Reality Over Babylon's Illusions | KIB 503 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description There's a war on for your identity. In this Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake expose the spiritual "masks" the enemy uses—from sanitized cultural traditions to personal coping personas—and invite the Remnant to step into truth, transparency, and freedom in Christ. From Halloween's ancient roots to the modern pressure to "perform," we trace how unreality keeps believers stuck—and how the Holy Spirit heals, restores, and re-aligns us with God's design. We also pray for the grieving, cover the Remnant during this season, and offer practical next steps: renouncing occult doors, affirming our children's identity in Jesus, seeking wise counsel when needed, and learning to live mask-free before God and one another. "Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another." — Ephesians 4:25 (ESV) Highlights Why the Word of God is a war book—and why unreality is a weapon of the enemy Ancient and modern uses of masks (ritual, identity-shifting, and social control) The danger of "sanitized" paganism and why God says "Come out of her, my people" Parenting through cultural pressure—affirming identity in Christ Personal testimonies: fear of rejection, humor as a mask, and God's gentle dismantling Practical deliverance: renouncing doors, pleading the blood of Jesus, and wise counseling Helmet of salvation vs. masks of unreality—how to walk in truth

Questions about whether the claim in 1 Corinthians that “no one can say ‘Jesus is Lord' except in the Holy Spirit” is a black-and-white tool for discernment, and how to have a better relationship with Jesus when reading the Bible feels like a chore and you can't remember to pray.   Since First Corinthians 12:3 says that “no one can say ‘Jesus is Lord' except in the Holy Spirit,” if TV evangelists who seem to preach another gospel and act overtly un-Christlike claim Jesus is Lord, is that evidence the Holy Spirit dwells in them? Is this a black-and-white tool for discernment? How can I have a better relationship with Jesus when reading the Bible feels like a chore and I can never remember to pray? I feel like I don't know him at all.
