Jesus is the root the promised descendent of David, the “Branch,” the Nazarene. In contrast, Lucifer is an abhorred and discarded branch; he is not the Nazarene, the Branch. There can be only One Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews. The Beast will pretend to be the Messiah, but he is of a different kind and his father is the devil. Jesus is WARNING everyone to NOT BE FOOLED. Be ready, there is only one root, there is only one who is Shiloh, there is only one Messiah, there is only one “Branch,” the Lord Jesus Christ.Download Transcript

The right to access the tree of life and the right to enter the city, is obtained by continually washing our robes white in the blood of the Lamb, by continually betting our lives on the fact that Only God is Good, for He is our Yahweh Tsidkenu. There are those who are not permitted access to the city, the dogs (those who bite and devour one another), the sorcerers (those who use drugs to connect to the other side), the immoral (those whose very existence is identified by sexuality), and those who practice the lie (those in the household of God who know the truth, but do not live the truth). Jesus clarifies that the entire revelation was given for His bondservants and delivered to the churches. But His target audience is the bondservants, those who become His bride. Download Transcript

Jesus Christ provides freedom—He will set you free. Freedom from eternal condemnation and the control of the sin nature. Freedom from organized religion and a life of worry and stress. “It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore, keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery” (Gal 5:1). By learning Scripture, we can take advantage of these freedoms provided by God's grace. “You will know the truth and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). God gives us volition, the freedom to follow His plan. It's our choice—go down the “my way highway” or “serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).Download Transcript⁠: https://rhem.pub/freedom-06acc1

As a Christian, you are part of God's royal family. You are spiritual aristocracy. “Be renewed in the spirit of your mind and put on the new self, which is in the likeness of God, has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth” (Eph 4:24). You have an honor code that includes impersonal love for all and reflecting the thinking of Jesus Christ. “You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of His [the Lord Jesus Christ] who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Pet 2:9). Royal family members who progress to spiritual maturity have an invisible impact on their nation and families. Download Transcript⁠: https://rhem.pub/royal-family-419b8f

Alpha & Omega are nouns that declare what He is. He is eternal, outside of time, and all of time is held in His sovereign hands. Beginning & End are nouns that indicate nothing occurs that He did not initiate, nothing closes that He does not close, and the journey is a result of His sovereign hand. The First & Last are adjectives that describe Him as the one who brings to fruition everything He has ever said or promised. There is this requirement, in the now, to be washing our robes. Blessed if we do. It is an ongoing requirement, rendered in the present active participle. Bondservants have white robes. They washed them white in the blood of the lamb but our journey in this world requires ongoing washing to have the right to the tree of life and the right to enter the holy city though the gates.Download Transcript

You must be spiritually born to receive eternal life. “Unless one is born of water [physical birth] and born of Spirit [born again through faith alone in Christ alone] he cannot enter the kingdom of God” (John 3:5). This second birth is a simple act of faith. “He who believes in Him [the Lord Jesus Christ] is not judged” (John 3:18). You will either be born twice or die twice. Unbelievers, those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, will die the second death, will be condemned to the Lake of Fire, and tormented forever.Download Transcript⁠: https://rhem.pub/two-births-94140c

He that is now doing wrong, is commanded to do wrong still; and the one who is now being filthy, is commanded to be filthy still; and the righteous, is commanded to be caused to be righteous still; and the holy one, is commanded to be caused to be holy still. Lifestyle choices are honored by God. For those willing, He will cause them to be righteous and holy.Jesus returns with His bride. Where He is, there she will alwaysbe. He gathered the faithful who were believing prior to His coming, and He will gather all the faithful who are now believing at the rapture, bringing many sons to glory.There will be payback for He will render to every manaccording to what he now does.Download Transcript

Developing a mature spiritual life requires consistent, high-quality nourishment from God's Word taught by a well-qualified pastor. No Christian can read the Bible and attain spiritual maturity on their own. The Bible is a textbook designed by God to be taught by a man with the spiritual gift of pastor-teacher. “Your word I have treasured in my heart that I may not sin against You” (Ps 119:11). Scripture is layered—the more you learn, the more you realize you don't know. When you understand God's Word and store it in your heart, it reveals your weaknesses and strengths.Download Transcript⁠: https://rhem.pub/qualified-pastor-ec8824

Our co-host, Heather had the pleasure of interviewing sociologist and artist Alessandra Seggi about her latest book Youth and Suicide in American Cinema: Context, Causes, and Consequences. Alessandra is a Fulbright grantee with a PhD in Sociology and MA in Media Studies and the analysis in her book is both a personal and professional reflection on suicide in film. Youth and suicide in American Cinema is about the portrayal of suicide in youth films covering both studio-driven and independent cinema from 1900 to 2018. It aims to understand such portrayals by offering a proactive approach via a media literacy strategy for engaged audiences in order for them to interpret these portrayals. Ultimately, via their thorough analysis, films become the much-needed buffer that allows people to gain enough distance from suicide and suicidal behavior to actually talk about it, and via this interview, Alessandra gives guidance to filmmakers on how to better portray this often stigmatized topic.  Content Warning: This episode deals with death, suicide, suicidal behaviors, and their portrayals DOWNLOAD TRANSCRIPT: https://braaainspodcast.com/s/Braaains-EP072-Transcript-Youth-and-Suicide-in-American-Cinema-with-Alessandra-Seggi.pdf Contact us: BraaainsPodcast.com Follow: @BraaainsPodcast Music: @_Deppisch_ Support this show: Patreon.com/BraaainsPodcast

Suddenly Jesus speaks, and says, “behold, I now choose to come quickly. Blessed is he who is now keeping the words of the prophecy of this book.” He wants us to contemplate the suddenness of all that will come to be so we can choose to be prepared always, dressed in white, dressed in wedding garments, like a bride prepared for her husband.Blessed is the one observing the logos, the expansive breath of all that has been said in the Revelation summed up as: The Source Matters, the Source is Everything because Only God is Good!But John is still beholden to the Woman who rides the Beast and he bows once again at the feet of an angel to worship. He is told to worship only God. The angels are in the fight with us to endure, they are ministering spirits.Download Transcript

Prayer is one of the most powerful functions of your Christian life, when done according to God's protocol. Prayer is an extension and reflection of your spiritual life, based on the content of God's Word in your soul. Take your appreciation and requests to God and have the tranquility of God's peace. “In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:6-7).⁠ The Lord Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit intercede on your behalf, praying for you! “He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God” (Rom 8:27). Prayer is not designed to get you out of trouble, but rather to express your helplessness and dependence on God.Download Transcript⁠: https://rhem.pub/power-prayer-8fcbd0

“… and they will in the future reign forever and ever.” This speaks of our ETERNITY THEN. Rule begins in the Millennial Kingdom and will continue forever and ever in the new heaven and earth. It is a trustworthy statement, if we died with Him, we will also in the future live with Him; if we now endure, we will also in the future choose to reign with Him. Faithful and true defines Yahweh and every word He has breathed. God who directs the spirit of the prophets sent His angel to show to His bondservants the things which now must soon choose to take place. Through revealing His thoughts, intentions, plans, desires, and action, Jesus wants His bride to fall ever more in love with him and be thoroughly convinced that He is worth waiting for, worth betting their lives upon.Download Transcript

The Spirit of God imaged as the river of life that flowsfrom the throne of God, divides Jew from Gentile and is the living water to both communities. God preserves the unique relationship He has with His people. This is like the imagery of the wild and the natural olive trees as well as the 2 witnesses. God maintains 2 witnesses to the world, one uniquely Jewish andone uniquely Gentile. The tree of life, imagery for Jesus, expresses itself and grows for both communities. The twelve fruits is a picture of His remarkable spiritual administration in both groups. Its yield is cyclical and predicable, always yielding its fruit and its leaves are always green and provide shade from the heat and are for therapy to the nations.Download Transcript

John saw a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, choosing to now be coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of the wide-open place. It is radiant with no impurities. The river is a metaphor for the Holy Spirit who is absorbed and amplified through His people, flowing out from within our New Creation, the Sanctuary of God. Flowing from the throne speaks of the Unity of the Godhead.Faith is how the living water is permitted to flow in and through a person. But when fear supplants their faith, they have forsaken God, the fountain of living waters, to hew for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water.Download Transcript

“… and there no, not ever, shall enter anyone unclean andalso anyone now doing what is detestable or false …” Knowing God is experienced though the way Yahweh Mekoddishkem works with Yahweh Qanna to set a person apart exclusively for His purposes. Then the person is called holy and is no longer unclean.“Detestable” comes from a root word that means to stink, to be detestable, abhorrent, and disgusting, but it is best understood as a synonym for idolatry—an object of disgust.Those who are now doing what is false are those who “now profess to know God, but by their deeds they choose to now deny Him, now being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed.” They ignore that the Source Matters the Source is Everything!Those deemed to be righteous may enter the city. Fellowship and belonging are reserved for those righteous ones. The purpose of it all is to gather into eternity the nations, including the Elect from amongst the Jews, as God honors and lifts up His bride and fills her with glory.Download Transcript

The light of God, through the people of God, brings illumination to those whom He has been calling out of darkness and into His marvelous light.The kings of the earth now bring their glory into it—the people for which they rule.

You can be an invisible hero for God if you grow to spiritual maturity. Invisible heroes are obedient to God, faithful to learn and apply His Word, spiritually prepared, and ready for God to use them in His perfect timing. “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the Word of truth” (2 Tim 2:15).Invisible heroes seek to glorify God, not themselves. “For if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord's” (Rom14:8).Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/invisible-hero-6b91df

When you continue to walk in darkness, you will develop a hard heart. “Walk in the futility of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them because of the hardness of their heart” (Eph 4:17-18). You can recover from a heart hardened and defiled by cosmic system thinking by using God's problem-solving device number one (Rebound: 1 John 1:9) to regain fellowship. If you are alive, there is time to fulfill God's plan for your life. “He who humbles himself will be exalted” (Luke 14:11).Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/recover-heart-c0d95d

God designed you to be happy. In Philippians 4:4, the Apostle Paul writes, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!” Paul uses the Greek word “chairo,” which means to be filled with joy. It is a constant state of happiness based on your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ (not people, places, things, circumstances). This happiness is one of the weapons you use to defeat the things Satan is throwing your way. It's God's problem-solving device number nine: Sharing the happiness of God. “Happy are those who hear the Word of God and obey it” (Luke 11:28).Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/rejoice-lord-99681d

Your faithfulness to God should reflect His faithfulness to you. “It is of the Lord's mercy we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Thy faithfulness (Lam 3:22-23). The lifestyle of the spiritually maturing believer demonstrates faithfulness with love, respect, admiration, gratitude, and obedience to God and reflects God's mercy and compassion toward others. Part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to give you the strength to remain faithful. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness…” (Gal 5:22-23).

God abounds in mercy because of His compassion for us and our eternal destiny. Mercy flows from the throne of grace. “Let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb 4:16). Mercy is His grace in action, generated by His love and compassion. “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in mercy” (Ps 103:8). A spiritually maturing Christian acquires the attribute of compassion and demonstrates it by reaching those who are lost and giving them the Gospel. God extends His mercy upon generation after generation to those who love and obey Him (Luke 1:50). Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/god-mercy-9dcbf1

God will use divine discipline to get your attention and encourage rebound (God's problem-solving device number one). “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
