Podcasts about Satan

If you've listened to Keeping It Young for long, you've probably heard Dave refer to the "family altar" but what exactly does he mean when he says that? The next few episodes will explain exactly what he means! In this episode, you heard Dave and Bethlie reference a past episode on Deuteronomy 6. Here is the link to part 1 of that 7 episode series. Here are the notes from today's episode. The Family Altar What is a family altar? The family altar refers to the way a Christian family regularly prays together. It is different than grace at a table. It is a daily time that frequently includes Scripture combined with prayers The family altar is: A family altar is a designated space or time in a home dedicated to religious or spiritual practices, often involving prayer, worship, and study of sacred texts. It serves as a focal point for family devotions, fostering a sense of unity, spiritual growth, and connection to faith. The specific elements and practices associated with a family altar can vary greatly depending on the family's religious or spiritual tradition.  An “on purpose way” for a family to regularly learn spiritual truth and traditions The family altar — a designated time and place at home where the family comes together to pray, worship and experience the living God — is like a firewall against Satan's schemes. Show me a family altar, and I will show you an atmosphere of faith and a house where God's presence resides.-Samuel Rodriquez, Influence Magazine The term “family altar” speaks to a time when the leader of the home gathers the family together to focus on God. For some families, that may mean once a week. It could be Sunday evening as the family prepares for another week. It could be Saturday evening as they family prepares their heart for worship with their church the next morning. Other families might practice it everyday at the breakfast table or at nighttime prayers. Why is the family altar important? God says so – that's why! Here are just a few of the examples of God's stance on the family altar: Abraham was told to teach his children so that following generations would know the Lord (Gen. 18:19). Moses taught that parents were to teach their children to love the Lord all throughout the day (Deut. 6:7). The psalmist taught the necessity of God's people declaring God's greatness to the next generations (Ps. 78:3-7). Solomon taught that if you trained a child in the Lord, they would not depart from that way (Prov. 22:6). Fathers were instructed to teach children in the instruction of the Lord (Eph. 6:4). Why should we have one? It builds unity in a family It teaches Bible truths systematically to our children It makes a statement that our faith is real and valid It focuses our attention on our God It helps to foster peace in the home It is a way to influence our children on a daily basis It provides a way for us to obey the Scriptures regarding our family Links: Want to hear Pastor Dave Young preach?

Our spiritual hearts, the source of our faith and God's love, face three major threats: Satan's attacks, worldly influences, and our own sinful nature. These threats create spiritual heart conditions that parallel physical heart problems: inflammation from Satan's lies, clogging from worldly values, and inherent flaws from our sinful nature. Healing begins with submitting to God, being honest about our condition, approaching God with humility rather than pride, allowing the Holy Spirit to examine us, and being completely transparent with God. By guarding our hearts as Solomon advised, we can ensure God's grace flows freely through our lives.

As we conclude this series, we give voice to the prophet Amos. God's people find themselves entangled in the system of the Satan, and God's justice will not remain silent. Yet, divine justice is always bound to divine mercy. A new day is coming—a day marked by hope, justice, and righteousness. In the meantime, followers of Jesus are invited to learn from this vision and actively participate in God's new creation now. Scripture: Amos

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchMARTES, 22 DE JULIOLAS TRES PRIMERAS PLAGASAunque los magos parecían producir ranas como Moisés y Aarón, no podían eliminarlas. Cuando el Faraón vio que los magos no podían detener la plaga ni eliminar las ranas, se sintió un poco humillado, y quiso que Moisés y Aarón suplicaran al Señor por él para que eliminara la plaga de las ranas. Empezaba a saber algo acerca de aquel Dios del que se declaraba totalmente ignorante. Moisés y Aarón le habían dicho al Faraón que ellos no producían las ranas por magia, ni por ningún poder que poseyeran; que Dios, el Dios viviente, las había hecho venir por su poder, y que solo él podía eliminarlas. Previamente, el Faraón se había jactado ante Moisés y Aarón, porque los magos podían con sus encantamientos hacer aparecer las mismas cosas. Cuando pidió a Moisés que suplicara al Señor por él, este le recordó su anterior altanería y jactancia a causa de las obras realizadas por sus magos; y preguntó al Faraón dónde estaba ahora su vanagloria, y dónde estaba el poder de aquellos magos para eliminar la plaga. El Señor escuchó las súplicas de Moisés y detuvo la plaga de ranas. Cuando el rey se vio aliviado de su angustia inmediata, volvió a negarse obstinadamente a libertar a Israel. Moisés y Aarón, por orden del Señor, hicieron que el polvo de la tierra se convirtiera en piojos a lo largo de toda la tierra de Egipto. El faraón llamó a los magos para que se pre-sentaran ante él para hacer lo mismo con sus encantamientos, pero no pudieron. Moisés y Aarón, los siervos de Dios, por orden suya, produje-ron la plaga de los piojos. Los magos, siervos de Satanás, por mandato de este, procuraron producir lo mismo con sus encantamientos, pero no pudieron. La obra de Dios se mostró superior al poder de Satanás; pues los magos con sus encantamientos solo podían realizar unas pocas hazañas. Cuando los magos vieron que no podían producir los piojos, dijeron a Faraón: "Entonces los hechiceros dijeron a Faraón: Dedo de Dios es este. Mas el corazón de Faraón se endureció, y no los escuchó, como Jehová lo había dicho" (Spiritual Gifts, t. 3, pp. 208, 209). Faraón llamó a los hechiceros para que obraran con sus encantamientos. También ellos realizaron señales y maravillas, porque Satanás vino en su ayuda para trabajar por medio de ellos. Sin embargo, aun en esto la obra de Dios resultó superior al poder de Satanás, porque los hechiceros no pudieron llevar a cabo todos los milagros que Dios había realizado mediante Moisés. Pudieron duplicar solamente algunos de ellos. Las varas de los hechiceros se convirtieron en serpientes, pero la vara de Aarón se comió a todas las demás. Después que los hechiceros procuraron producir piojos, pero fracasaron, fueron compelidos por el poder de Dios a reconocer lo siguiente: "Dedo de Dios es este". Éxodo 8:19. Satanás obró mediante los hechiceros en una forma calculada para endurecer el corazón del tirano Faraón contra las milagrosas manifestaciones del poder de Dios. Satanás pensó hacer vacilar la fe de Moisés y Aarón en el origen divino de su misión, y entonces sus instrumentos, los magos, prevalecerían. Satanás no estaba dispuesto a que el pueblo de Israel fuera liberado de la servidumbre egipcia, para que pudiera servir a Dios (Spiritual Gifts, t. 4, p. 82; parcialmente en Testimonios para la Iglesia, t. 1, p. 263).

Jesus's death and burial means that I must die to myself. I won't experience His power until I surrender my former way of life. To be raised to new life, the old self must die and be buried. That means coming to Jesus is about surrender. For “those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” (Gal. 5:24). When we met Nicodemus in John 3, he was a scared and lost man. He was drawn to Jesus, but he came to Him by night because he was not ready to let go of his former way of life. Nicodemus now takes part in burying Jesus's body, signaling that his old self was dead and new life had arrived! “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). Take-Home Message: Jesus's finished work has finished me. Jesus's death petitions me to die (28-30). “It is finished” means… Separation is finished.Sin is finished.Satan is finished.Death is finished.I am finished. Jesus's piercing permits me to be passed over (31-37). Bible references: 1 Jn. 5:6-8; Jn 7:38-39; Nu 9:12; Ex 12:46; Ps 34:20; Zech 12:10; 13:1 Jesus's burial prepares me for a new life (38-42). Message: It is Finished Scripture: John 19:28-42 Simple. Authentic. Jesus. Prairiebible.org

Overcoming Satan Until Death Do Us Part 3 Revelation 12:10–12 Randy Rigney

Victorious living is not about achieving a life free from struggle or pain, but about living in the reality of Christ's victory, no matter our circumstances. When we surrender our lives to Jesus, we are not simply making a decision to follow a set of rules or to improve ourselves; we are choosing a new Master. This surrender is not partial or conditional—it is an unconditional surrender, much like the conquered generals in a Roman triumphal procession, chained to the chariot of the victorious general. In the same way, we are called to be “chained” to Christ, following Him wherever He leads, trusting that His victory is our victory.The reality is that, as followers of Jesus, we inherit an enemy—Satan—who seeks to discourage, defeat, and even tempt us to reject Christ. Yet, the victory has already been won by Jesus on the cross and through His resurrection. Our role is not to fight for victory, but to walk in the victory that Christ has already secured. This does not mean that life will be easy or that we will not face hardship. Paul's own life was filled with suffering, persecution, and apparent defeat, yet he could say with confidence that he was always being led in Christ's triumph.The key to living in victory is not in our own strength or ability to “figure it all out,” but in our willingness to remain surrendered to Christ, no matter where He leads us. This surrender is not passive resignation, but an active, daily choice to stay “chained to the chariot,” trusting that Jesus is leading us, even through the darkest valleys. Our victory is not measured by outward success or comfort, but by our faithfulness to remain with Christ, knowing that He has already overcome every situation we will ever face.God's victory becomes ours through submission, and it remains ours as long as we choose to stay surrendered, regardless of the circumstances. There is no place, no situation, no hardship where Christ's victory does not reach. Even in the most painful moments, we can have confidence that if we are still following Jesus, He has already overcome, and we are walking in His victory.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchDOMINGO, 20 DE JULIODIOS VERSUS LOS "DIOSES"Los magos parecieron realizar con sus encantamientos varias cosas similares a las que Dios había efectuado por medio de Moisés y Aarón. En realidad, no hicieron que sus varas se convirtieran en serpientes, sino que por su magia, ayudados por el gran engañador, hicieron que parecieran como serpientes para falsificar la obra de Dios. Satanás ayudó a sus siervos para que resistieran contra la obra del Altísimo, a fin de engañar a la gente y animarla en su rebelión. Faraón quería aferrarse de la más leve evidencia que pudiera obtener para justificarse al resistir la obra de Dios realizada por Moisés y Aarón. Dijo a esos siervos de Dios que sus magos podían hacer todas esas maravillas. La diferencia entre la obra de Dios y la de los magos consistían en que una era de Dios y la otra de Satanás. Una era verdadera y la otra falsa (Spiritual Gifts, t. 3, pp. 205, 206; parcialmente en Comentarios de Elena G. de White en Comentario bíblico adventista del séptimo día, t. 1, p. 1114). Los ancianos de Israel trataron de sostener la desfalleciente fe de sus hermanos, repitiéndoles las promesas hechas a sus padres, y las palabras proféticas con que, antes de su muerte, José predijo la libe-ración de su pueblo de Egipto. Algunos escucharon y creyeron. Otros, mirando las circunstancias que los rodeaban, se negaron a tener esperanza. Los egipcios, al saber lo que pasaba entre sus siervos, se mofaron de sus esperanzas y desdeñosamente negaron el poder de su Dios. Les señalaron su situación de pueblo esclavo, y dijeron burlonamente: "Si vuestro Dios es justo y misericordioso y posee más poder que los dioses de Egipto, ¿por qué no os libra?" Los egipcios se jactaban de su propia situación. Adoraban deidades que los israelitas llamaban dioses falsos, y no obstante eran una nación rica y poderosa. Afirmaban que sus dioses los habían bendecido con prosperidad, y les habían dado a los israelitas como siervos, y se vanagloriaban de su poder de oprimir y destruir a los adoradores de Jehová. Faraón mismo se jactó de que el Dios de los hebreos no podía librarlos de su mano. Tales palabras destruyeron las esperanzas de muchos israelitas. Les parecía que su caso era como lo presentaban los egipcios. Es verdad que eran esclavos, y habían de sufrir todo lo que sus crueles comisarios quisieran imponerles. Sus hijos habían sido apresados y muertos, y la vida misma les era una carga. No obstante, adoraban al Dios del cielo. Si Jehová estuviese sobre todos los otros dioses, ciertamente no permitiría que fueran siervos de los idólatras. Pero los que eran fieles comprendieron que por haberse apartado Israel de Dios, y por su inclinación a casarse con idólatras y dejarse llevar a la idolatría, el Señor había permitido que llegaran a ser esclavos; y confiadamente aseguraron a sus hermanos que Dios pronto rompería el yugo del opresor (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, pp. 265, 266).

In this podcast episode, we discuss cover-ups. I spent some time this weekend trying to cover up the scuffs, marks, and spots on walls that needed some touch-up.   After stepping back, I could see a different sheen and look on those spots.  They didn't blend perfectly! UGH! With different views, lighting, and perspectives, the look of each of those spots changed.  Sometimes visible, sometimes not.   Each of us has vulnerabilities, spots, or weaknesses we do our best to cover.   We adapt to look and make sure that we don't show that we are struggling. Satan was quick to point out Adam and Eve's weaknesses and vulnerabilities and told them to cover themselves and HIDE.  And so began our mortal experience.   Christ, on the other hand, chose to keep his scars. He showed them as a reminder of His love, sacrifice,  and victory over his challenges. In this episode, we talk about not always having to remain "covered." We don't always have to have the perfect cover-up.  Sometimes our weak spots are seen, but it makes us relatable and reminds us we are putting up a good fight!

Almost every Christian denomination accepts that God is sovereign--which is interpreted to mean that He always does precisely what He pleases, and everything that happens on earth has either His explicit or implicit stamp of approval. So when we find ourselves in a crisis--we or someone we love gets a terminal diagnosis, or we don't have enough money to make the mortgage and may lose the house, or we're in the direct path of a natural disaster, etc--we pray for a miracle, because we all know that God can do anything He wants. And who knows? Maybe He'll say yes. But if He says no, the common theology goes, it's because He sees the bigger picture. He knows more than we do, and we have to just trust that He knows best. That sounds so spiritual, doesn't it? Some believers manage to weather these trials of faith, pointing to Job as their example, when he said, "The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord" (Job 1:21) and "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him" (Job 13:15). (One side note. When you hear of a great saint who loses everything and yet clings to their trust in God anyway, certain that He has a greater purpose for their loss, does that inspire you to praise God--or to praise that great saint? Who actually receives the glory for that?) This theology has its roots in Calvinism, which espouses an extreme form of predestination (meaning that God chooses whether each of us will ultimately be saved, or damned, before we're ever born. He has to do this, they argue, because it is God who gives us the faith even to be saved, Eph 2:8-9, and if He withholds that faith, salvation for that individual is impossible.) So God, in this theological persuasion, decides a priori who will be saved and who will not, and then punishes those to whom He has not given the faith to be saved for their sins. They do have scriptures to back up their argument--if you take them out of context. One of the big ones is Romans 9:18-21, which says: "Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens. You will say to me then, 'Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?' But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, 'Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?'" In this passage, Paul was comparing Israel's hardness of heart in rejecting the Messiah to Pharaoh from the time of the Exodus (Romans 9:15-17). The reason it took ten plagues and the decimation of Egypt for Pharaoh to finally release the Israelites was because Pharaoh's heart was hardened, far beyond reason. Paul's point in this passage was that God did this so that He could display His power to the Israelites, delivering them with great signs and wonders (Romans 9:17). If Pharaoh hadn't resisted, it would not have taken great miracles to do it. (In the same way, Paul argues, the fact that Israel had rejected Jesus gave the Lord the opportunity to bring the Gentiles in to the New Covenant, too.) But if God hardened Pharaoh’s heart, is Pharaoh still responsible for his own actions? If we go back to the original source text, we can see that this isn't quite the whole story. God did tell Moses in advance that He would harden Pharaoh's heart before the plagues ever began (Ex 4:21, 7:3). But for the first five plagues, Pharaoh hardened his own heart (Ex 7:22, 8:15, 8:19, 8:32, 9:7). It was only by the sixth plague that the scripture says God hardened Pharaoh's heart (Ex 9:12). Pharaoh still made his own choice first; God just enforced it and used it for His own purposes. I love the analogy Charles Capps uses to explain this. If one sets clay and wax out in the hot sun, the sun will harden the clay, but melt the wax. The sun adds the same heat to both, but the substance (wax or clay) determines its effect. A potter chooses whether to make “noble or ignoble” vessels from clay not arbitrarily, but on the basis of the quality of the clay. If the clay is supple and pliable, it can be made into something beautiful; if it is brittle, it might not be fit to shape into something worthy of display. God works with what we give him. In the same way, in Jesus’ Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-23), the sower sows the Word indiscriminately, but it is the condition of the soil that determines the harvest. Luke later writes that God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34), and Peter writes that He is not willing that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9, more on this later). Likewise, any reasonable person would have been terrified into obedience by the plagues, long before they progressed to the death of the firstborn. And some of the Egyptians did believe and take refuge in Goshen, and the final exodus included “a mixed multitude” (Exodus 12:38), meaning some of the Egyptians were convinced, converted, and left with them. God gave the Egyptians the opportunity to escape the plagues that might otherwise have caused death, telling them to pull their livestock and their servants inside before the hail (Exodus 9:19), and to paint their doorposts with the blood of the Passover lamb (Exodus 12:22-23), which was symbolic of and foreshadowing the blood of Christ. Again, the Lord is “not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). He didn't want to harm the Egyptians, but neither did he want them to keep His people in bondage. So, did God harden Pharaoh’s heart? Yes, but perhaps only in the sense that God performed the miracles, and Pharaoh’s heart was such that those miracles caused him to dig in his heels. We’ve all met stubborn people like this, with whom any direct attempt at persuasion will cause them to double down on their original position. God does not override our free will, so in this case, He worked with it, using it to His advantage. Our choices do matter. But He's so amazing that He takes those choices and still manages to work “all things together for good to those who love God, who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). As a result of Pharaoh’s stubbornness, God’s people had a legacy of spectacular stories to remind their children and their children’s children of His might on their behalf. My point in saying all that is just that the argument that God sovereignly controls everything that happens is inconsistent with the overall teachings of scripture; even the individual verses that seem to suggest that don't stand up to scrutiny. But a larger problem is that, taken to its logical conclusion, the theological position that God's will is absolute, and will come to pass no matter what we do, leads to a sense of futility. Why pray--why even evangelize--if God is going to do what He's going to do, regardless? To their credit (though against logic), most Calvinist denominations recognize that the scriptures are very clear that we should still both evangelize and pray, and they therefore preach that we should do both, just because God said we should. (Sort of the equivalent of a parent saying, "Because I said so, that's why!") But historically, many Protestant denominations stemmed from or were heavily influenced by Calvinist doctrine. As a result, until about the late 18th and early 19th century, almost all missionary activity around the world came from the Catholic church, which I suspect was precisely because it held no doctrine of predestination, so they thought their efforts could make an eternal difference. Motivation matters. (Protestant missions largely date back to William Carey's work in India in 1793. The London Missionary Society was founded two years later, in 1795, and in 1810, the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions was founded.) Even if we're not ultimately each predestined for heaven or hell, God is still sovereign, though, right? He knows way more than we do. So doesn't that mean sometimes He'll say no to our prayer requests, and when we all get to heaven, we'll understand why? Yes, God is sovereign in the sense that He is all-powerful, all-loving, and all-knowing, but He is not all-controlling (and I covered this extensively in this podcast https://www.drlaurendeville.com/podcasts/why-bad-things-happen-from-a-biblical-perspective on why bad things happen, from a biblical perspective). God told Adam and Eve not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil; they did anyway. Was that God's will? Certainly not! He did everything He could to keep them from doing it, short of making them automatons, when He told them, don't do it. Likewise, any sovereign can set laws that his citizens may not necessarily obey. The US is a sovereign nation and in 1974 the administration set the "National Maximum Speed Law" of 55mph. But many drivers exceeded that speed limit daily. The New English Translation has the word “sovereign” appear more than any other biblical translation (368 times). Not one of the original Hebrew or Greek words connotes the idea that He controls everything that happens. Most of the time, "sovereign" is just the way they render God’s names. The word sovereign is often translated from Shaddai (meaning Almighty) when it’s part of God’s name (48 times in the OT). Other times it’s translated from ‘elohiym: supreme God, as a superlative, or ‘elyown, meaning High or Most High. Sometimes it's thrown in as part of the transition of ‘Adonay: an emphatic form of the Lord. Sometimes it's translated from tsaba’, also translated the Lord of Hosts, meaning one who commands an army. In some cases the word sovereign is used to describe God's characteristics, but in context, it doesn't mean what we typically mean by the word (that His will always happens). The NET version of 1 Chronicles 29:11 says, "O LORD, you are great, mighty, majestic, magnificent, glorious, and sovereign over all the sky and earth! You have dominion and exalt yourself as the ruler of all." Only this translation uses the word sovereign; the others , translate it Head. This word connotes the idea of a supreme ruler, but not of one who always gets His way. Psalm 84:11 says, “For the Lord God is a sun and shield (magen: shield, buckler, protector).” The same verse is translated in NET: "For the LORD God is our sovereign protector." Clearly the word magen does not indicate that He always gets His way, either. Sovereign power is also translated as holiness from qadash: "to consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, be hallowed, be holy, be sanctified, be separate." This word is used in Ezekiel 28:25: "'This is what the sovereign LORD says: When I regather the house of Israel from the peoples where they are dispersed, I will reveal my sovereign power (or holiness) over them in the sight of the nations, and they will live in their land that I gave to my servant Jacob." It doesn't mean supreme dictator there either. Micah 5:4 says, "He will assume his post and shepherd the people by the LORD's strength, by the sovereign authority of the LORD his God. They will live securely, for at that time he will be honored even in the distant regions of the earth.” Sovereign authority here is the words ga'own (exaltation, majesty, pride) shem (name, reputation, fame, glory): thus, it's better translated “in the majesty of the name” of the Lord. Not a supreme dictator there either. Habakkuk 2:14 says, "For recognition of the LORD's sovereign majesty will fill the earth just as the waters fill up the sea." Sovereign majesty here is yada (to know, to perceive, to make known) kabowd (glory, honour, glorious, abundance), also translated “for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.” Still not indicating ultimate control over everything that happens. Of course God's will does not always come to pass. As I mentioned earlier, the classic example of this is 2 Peter 3:9: “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance,” and 1 Timothy 2:4: “[He] desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” Matthew 18:14 also says, “Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.” Jesus paid for the sins of the whole world, not just those who are saved. 1 John 2:2 says, “He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world”, and 1 Tim 4:10 says, "That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.” This doesn't sound like a God who created anyone for the expressed purpose of eternal damnation to me. On the contrary, He did everything He could possibly do to save us all, short of making us automatons. But not everybody will be saved, because He doesn't force us to choose Him--nor does He make any of our other decisions for us, either. Jesus said in Matthew 7:13: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it." God wills it; He paid an enormous price for it; but He won't get all of us, because we get a choice. There are other verses that imply the concept of sovereignty as we typically define it (in the sense that when God decides to do something, He does it, and no one can stop Him). Here are a few of those verses: Job 42:2: “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” Isaiah 46:10: “I declare the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose.” Romans 8:28: “All things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose.” (i.e. He can use bad and work it for good.) But these verses refers to God’s right and His power -- they say nothing about voluntary restrictions that God has placed upon His own power. Those limitations are defined by the covenants God had in place with mankind at various points in history. Once He gives His word that He will do this and not that, He cannot violate it--He exalts His word even above His name (Psalm 138:2). It's the integrity of His word that literally holds the universe together (Hebrews 1:3). Again, more on this in this podcast: https://www.drlaurendeville.com/podcasts/why-bad-things-happen-from-a-biblical-perspective and extensively more in "Blood Covenant Origins" and "Blood Covenant Fulfilled" from this book series: https://www.drlaurendeville.com/books/biblical-retellings). A quick overview, though: since God gave the earth to man in the garden, and man decided to obey Satan, God had to find a legal entry to get back in. That was the purpose of the covenants—first the Adamic, then the Noahic, then the Abrahamic, then the Mosaic, and now finally, the New Covenant. In the middle three there were stipulations of what we had to do, and therefore what God would do for us, if we kept up our end. But there were provisions for blessings even in those. For instance, a common Old Testament example I've heard preached to back up the idea that we never know what God's going to do, but we should have faith in Him anyway, is Daniel 3:18. Here's how that verse is preached: "If you throw us into the fiery furnace, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But even if He does not save us, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up." Except that's not what that verse actually says. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abendego, the Hebrew kids in Babylonian exile in that story, were under the Mosaic covenant, and they were on the right side of it--so they had a right to the blessings (Deut 28:7), and they knew it. They knew God’s promises. That’s why they were able to stand up to the king—just like David could call Goliath that “uncircumcised Philistine,” absolutely convinced of the outcome, because he had a covenant, and Goliath didn’t. In the story in Daniel, what the verse actually says is, “If you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.” The Jewish captives respond saying, “If that is the case” (implying, if you will throw us in to the furnace, the subject of the previous verse). Then they say, “But if not”—and the Hebrew never qualifies if not what. People tend to assume they are saying “but if God doesn’t deliver us” (the end of the previous thought). But it could just as easily have meant, “If it is not the case that you will throw us into the fiery furnace,” just like it did in previous verse. This would change the entire meaning of the verse, and would be far more consistent with the rest of scripture. I can think of no instances anywhere in scripture where someone put faith in God’s covenant promises, and God did not come through. He can’t not come through—because again, He exalts His word above His very name (Ps 138:2)! In the New Covenant, Jesus paid to make sure we are always on the blessing side, having fulfilled the law perfectly on our behalf, and become the curse for us (Gal 3:13). Because of that, every single promise is now Yes and Amen in Him (2 Cor 1:20). When Christ saved us, the word in Greek is sozo—that word appears 110 times in the New Testament. It includes spiritual salvation, but it also means physical healing, to rescue from physical danger, and to deliver from the penalties of judgment. All of these things are accessed by faith. Scripture doesn’t say that sometimes God says no to physical healing; on the contrary, every time someone came to Jesus for healing, they got it—and He was the exact image of the Father (Col 1:15), doing nothing but what He saw the Father doing (John 5:19). He turned no one away, saying, “Nope, this one is God’s will for you, to bring glory to Himself.” What brings God glory is healing, not sickness (John 9:1-4), and the “fruit” of answered prayers (John 15:7-8). It’s the blessings of God on our lives that are supposed to get the attention of the world around us. So back to the issue of praying for miracles. The theological position of most Christian denominations is that God can do anything, but there’s no guarantees that He will. Because of course, we can look around and see so many good Christians (some of the best!) who pray, and don’t seem to receive. What are we to do with that? Shouldn’t we adjust our theology to account for all of these practical examples… no matter what the Bible actually says? My dad died of cancer when he was 48 years old. We had lots of people praying. I had several well-meaning believers after the fact try to console me with the idea that God “allowed” this to happen for some inscrutable reason of His own… maybe someone might come to the Lord as a result of our loss, someone suggested. (What actually happened was that I became a religious Pharisee for about 10 years, going through the motions, but I didn’t trust God at all. I figured, based on that theology, that God was like an army general who made sacrifices for the greater good, and sometimes—sorry!—it’s you. The effect on the rest of my family's faith and outlook on the world was similar to mine, or worse.) All of that is predictable in hindsight, because cancer and death are the fingerprints of the Enemy, not of God. The Enemy comes to “steal, kill, and destroy”—Jesus came that we might “have life, and have it more abundantly.” It’s very clear who does what. But the vast majority of the body of Christ today preaches this confused theology, attributing horrific things to God under the strange explanation that because God’s ways are higher than our ways, somehow from His perspective, bad is good, and wrong is right, and once we all get to heaven, we’ll understand. (No wonder I didn’t trust God anymore when I believed this. How could I trust a God like that?) I get why the Church at large preaches this—they’re trying to make the Bible fit our experience. God's supreme sovereignty is a nice, spiritual-sounding explanation which borrows from the long Calvinistic tradition, even if we don't take it quite to that extreme (though some denominations still do even that). But what finally set me free was when I realized that God’s definition of good and mine are actually the same. That my dad’s death at such a young age was never His will. That how God dealt with mankind at various times in history was dependent upon the covenants in place at the time--and today, we're under the best covenant of all, the one where all the curses for disobedience are paid for in full, and all that's left is the blessing, which we can receive by faith. Here's what that doesn't mean: it doesn't mean that faith is a new form of works, that God now watches to see if we reach the critical threshold of faith before He doles out our miracle... and if we don't quite get there, ah, too bad, try harder next time. No! He's not responding in real time to our faith at all, deciding which requests to grant and which to refuse. God already provided every blessing in spiritual form in Christ’s atonement, 2000 years ago (Gal 1:3, Isaiah 53:4-5, 1 Peter 2:24). We receive all of those blessings now the same way we receive salvation: by faith. It's "in your account" already, as it were, just waiting for you to make a withdrawal--just like salvation is freely available, waiting for you to accept it. But God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). He doesn’t sovereignly say yes to one person and no to another for things that we know are in His will—if we know that we’re asking for something already in His explicit will, He hears us, and if we know that He hears us, we know we already have the requests made of Him (1 John 5:14-15). (That is the key, though--we can only have faith that we'll receive things that were already paid for in the atonement of Jesus. We can ask God for other things outside of that, but in those cases, God might say yes, or He might say no, for our own good--James 4:3. So it's quite useful to know scripture, so you can know for sure what you can stand on!) Back to my dad, and so many others besides. At that time, my family didn’t know any of this. We thought, we should pray, we should ask, and maybe God will say yes and maybe He will say no. But that’s not faith—that’s hope. And God didn’t say no—He said yes, 2000 years ago! Jesus paid an incredibly high price for God to say yes. Jesus also gave us the formula of how to receive in Mark 11:23-24: believe, and don’t doubt. If you do that, it’s as good as done. Unopposed faith (without doubt, James 1:6-8) is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen (Heb 11:1). It’s cruel to tell people that they didn’t receive their miracle because they didn’t believe hard enough, or pray long enough, though. But the solution to that isn’t to blame God’s “sovereignty” instead! (That’s how people lose their faith—who wants to serve a God whom they believe “allowed” the Holocaust, or 9-11, or child trafficking, or etc to happen?) Rather, the solution is to understand that we’re in a war, and that Satan is seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). While he’s a defeated foe ever since the cross (Col 2:15), and we now have authority over him through Jesus (Matt 28:18, Eph 1:17-19), most of us don’t know it. We don’t know that, with the authority we now have, Satan’s only weapon against believers now is deception and fear (2 Cor 10:3-5)—and of course anything he can indirectly control against us that is part of the fallen world. But Jesus has already overcome the world on our behalf (John 16:33). And understanding God’s perfect love for us casts out fear (James 4:18). Because if He loves us enough to send Jesus, how will He not also freely give us all things (Romans 8:32)? But most of us are so focused on what we see, on the things this world says, that a cancer diagnosis, for example (or any other terminal doctor’s report, or insurmountable financial problem, etc), strikes fear into our hearts. Whatever we focus on, we magnify—and if we’re in a church that tells us maybe God will come through and maybe He won’t (for things that He’s explicitly promised in His word), then we’re standing on shifting sand. It’s hard enough to deal with our own doubt and unbelief, without being surrounded by the doubt and unbelief of others. But absolute trust God’s word—even if it means isolating ourselves from well-meaning believers who might cause us to doubt—is the only way. Jesus on numerous occasions got away from the crowds or put everyone out of the house except for his few top disciples before he performed a miracle. Abraham received because he did not consider anything except God’s promises (Romans 4:19). He didn’t have a contingency plan (or at least he didn’t anymore after the whole Ishmael thing was out of the way). Because he didn’t consider any of the natural circumstances, he didn’t waver in his faith. In the same way, today, our lack of fear of Satan’s schemes is proof to him that we’re going to win (Phil 1:28)—and if we stand firm (Eph 6:13-14) and resist the devil, sooner or later, he has to flee (James 4:7). We’ll win, if we don’t quit. Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

When someone gives you hate, can you give them love... and say, "Keep the change?" It's unnatural to bless those who curse you. Or maybe "supernatural" is a better word. In those seemingly rare instances when it happens, the whole world notices. People are forced to come to grips with the fact that there's something else going on here, something more than meets the eye - something supernatural.

Imagine a world without rules. No stoplights. No order. No boundaries. Just chaos. That's exactly what Satan wants: not just in the world but in your soul.From the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Dom breaks open the Gospel of the Good Samaritan in a way you've never heard before. This isn't a sentimental message about “being nice.” It's a battle cry for Catholic men to return to order and to recognize the Savior who comes not only with mercy but with discipline and authority. Jesus is not just the Samaritan in this story, He's the King, the Divine Physician, and the Bridegroom who restores broken men, binds their wounds with sacraments, and places them inside His Church to heal.Do you have the humility to admit you're the wounded man? Will you allow Christ to perform spiritual surgery on your soul? Or will you keep limping in chaos, wounded and angry, rejecting the very order that heals you?This episode will convict you. It will challenge you. And it will show you how the Church—through the priesthood, the sacraments, and the Mass—is the battlefield medic station every man needs.

Welcometo Pastor's Chat as we continue to look at Luke 23. Jesus is on the cross inthe passages we've been reading and discussing. Today, in verse 43, Jesus spoketo the thief on the cross next to Him who had repented, who had recognized thatJesus Christ is the Son of God, sinless, stainless, blameless and who believedthat Jesus was dying not for any guilt of His own, but for the sins of theworld. It is apparent that the thief believed Jesus was the Messiah because hesaid, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."  Hereis a man who didn't have a chance to go to church, get baptized, or do anythingfor Jesus. Yet, he received God's full pardon for the guilt of his sins and receivedsalvation. Jesus responded to his request in verse 43, saying, "AssuredlyI say to you, today you will be with Me in paradise." Then, in verse44, Luke points out that it was about the sixth hour (noon), and there wasdarkness over all the earth until the ninth hour (3pm). Midway through the sixhours of Christ on the cross, right before that sixth hour, this thief receivesChrist and the assurance that he will be with Him in paradise.  Letme explain something about Paradise. I believe the Old Testament and NewTestament together teach that when people died in the Old Testament and up tothe resurrection of Christ, they went to a place called Sheol, which had twocompartments and was located somewhere in the heart of the earth. Jesusexplained this in Luke 16:19-31. When the rich man died, he went to hell, “andin hell, he lifted up his eyes in flames of fire, being in torment, saying,"I'm tormented in this flame." The poor man, Lazarus, went toa place called Abraham's bosom (Paradise), where he was comforted. The man inhell could see across to Paradise and saw Lazarus being comforted. He cried outfor relief for himself and asked for Lazarus to be sent to dip his finger in waterand cool his tongue. He also wanted someone to warn his brothers not to come tothis terrible place.  Jesusresponded that there is a great gulf fixed between them. So, it appears that inthe heart of the earth, there is a place called Sheol with a hell side, a flameside, a great gulf, and a paradise side. I believe Scripture shows the same dayafter Jesus death on the cross and He was buried in the grave, Jesus went tothe Paradise side and took everyone from there to what is called the “thirdheaven”. Why do we believe this? Because we believe paradise was emptiedout. That day, Jesus went to paradise because He said to the repenting criminal,"Today you'll be with Me in paradise."  Whilethe body of Jesus was in the grave, Jesus met this thief in Paradise, who hadgone there when he died. From there, Jesus then took everyone to the thirdheaven, where the throne of God is. Paul, in 2 Corinthians 12:3, said,"I knew a man who was caught up to the third heaven." Rememberthat Jesus also said in John 14:2-3, “ I go to prepare a place foryou.  Jesuspromised the disciples a new place which He called “My Father's house”,which we believe is the “third heaven”, where today He is seated at theright hand of God. Interestingly, also we might note that when Stephen wasbeing stoned to death in Acts 7:54-56, that it says that, "he gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standingat the right hand of God"  2Corinthians 5:8 says, "To be absent from the body is to be present withthe Lord." Why? Because the Lord is in the third heaven, where He tookthose from Paradise. But today, people who die without Christ still go to aterrible place called hell located in “Sheol”. And one day in the future,according to Revelation 20:13-14, those in hell will stand before the greatwhite throne judgment and be cast into the lake of fire, a place of outerdarkness where the beast, the false prophet, and Satan will be for eternity.

 The first time I realized the outdoors could be more than just a place, it could be a calling, was somewhere between a nervous 11-year-old with a skinned knee and a whitewater rapid called Satan's Cesspool.

You can contact me here:  rick@ricksaez.com Show Notes I didn't plan on building a life around the outdoors. Then it happened. A shy kid — the kind who barely muttered a word for two days — tugged my sleeve and asked if I could show him how to identify tracks on the trail. We knelt in the dirt like two mini wildlife detectives, tracking a raccoon through pine needles like it was a national treasure. The look on his face when he figured it out? Lit. Up. That moment rewired something in me. Suddenly, the outdoors wasn't just a place. It was a pulse. A calling. That same summer I found myself guiding rafts down the Kern River, soaking up adrenaline and humility in equal measure — because rivers don't care if you think you're cool. They'll throw you out of the raft just to prove a point. I went from teaching ghost stories around the campfire to cooking steaks by river eddies and sleeping under a galaxy-thick sky that made me feel both tiny and infinite. Principle: Sometimes your calling doesn't shout — it whispers through pine needles, screams from a rapid, or nudges you with a quiet “Hey, can you show me how?” Transition: A lot of people wait for some grand sign to show them what to do next. But what if the answer is already in motion — just disguised as curiosity, community, or one unforgettable outdoor moment? That's why: That's why I shared this story on the latest episode — not to tell you how to find your purpose, but to show you that it might already be hiding in the things that light you up when no one's watching. Call to Action: If you've been feeling stuck or unsure about what's next, don't wait for clarity to knock — go listen to this episode. It might just reconnect you with the spark you didn't know you lost.

Trouble? We eat trouble for breakfast! In Romans 12:12 we see three atmospheres, requiring three different attitudes from us. Trouble, or affliction, is just one of those atmospheres. No one likes difficulties, but they will come. The good news is that we can make our problems serve us.

Our winters shall not frown forever: summer shall soon smile. The tide shall not eternally ebb out: the floods must retrace their march. The night shall not hang its darkness forever over our souls: the sun shall yet arise with healing beneath his wings. "The Lord turned the captivity of Job." Thus, too, our sorrows shall have an end when God has gotten His end in them. The ends in the case of Job were these, that Satan might be defeated, foiled with his own weapons, blasted in his hopes when he had everything his own way.

In celebration of National Hot Dog Day, Brad Brock and the Destruction Crew throw down the gauntlet with over-the-top hot dog games, kitchen competitions, and the kind of hilarity you only get when wieners are flying across the room. From a parody cooking segment on “Satan's Grill” to a high-stakes (and highly ridiculous) hot dog Olympics, nothing is off-limits in this wacky tribute to America's favorite handheld food.Get ready for slow-mo hot dog swinging, delicious dog creations from across the country (hello, Seattle-style and Detroit coneys!), a nerdy "Beam Me Up Scotty" shot of the week, and loads of banter from your favorite crew. Plus, Captain Cocktail stirs up a cherry old fashioned and we top things off with “Name That Tune,” the Jordy Files, and a very real discussion on whether a hot dog is a sandwich. Spoiler: no one agrees.LinksJNC Officialhttps://www.jncpodcast.comSupport us on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/jncpodcast

Una vez expulsado el demonio, el mudo habló (Mat. 9: 32-34).A Jesús le traen un mudo endemoniado. Más exactamente, un hombre que está mudo y, además, según el diagnóstico de su entorno, endemoniado. Nadie debería ser definido por sus circunstancias: el mudo, el ciego, el paralítico..., pero a menudo lo somos. Jesús echa fuera al demonio y este hombre mudo se pone a hablar libremente, siendo, por fin, él mismo.Sin caer en las derivas del dualismo religioso o del animismo, los Evangelios presentan algunas dolencias como resultado de acción de espíritus maléficos. Cuántos de ellos estaban realmente poseídos y cuantos eran víctimas de otro tipo de desarreglos físicos o psíquicos es algo que no podemos saber con los pocos datos que tenemos. Lo que sí sabemos es que cuando Jesús envía a sus discípulos a llevar paz, esperanza y sanidad a los pueblos, regresan felices de esta misión liberadora. Y Jesús, entusiasmado por sus triunfos, les anuncia, entre otros motivos de gozo, que él «veía a Satanás caer del cielo como un rayo» (Luc. 10: 18). Satán o el diablo es el nombre que designa en la Biblia al enemigo que ataca o perturba el frágil equilibrio de la vida espiritual y psicofísica que Dios desea para nosotros.El alcance de perturbaciones de ese tipo escapa a nuestra comprensión, porque no sabemos hasta dónde somos responsables o víctimas de esos misteriosos ataques enemigos. Por eso Jesús no suele aventurarse por la vía perversa y peligrosa de culpabilizar al paciente, o de dar a su situación explicaciones que intenten justificar lo que, para nosotros, resulta incomprensible. Jesús se limita a practicar el amor ilimitado en un mundo injusto y sufriente, procurando curar o al menos aliviar hasta lo que no parece tener cura.Con ello anuncia la intención divina de liberarnos definitivamente, un día, de esta situación en la que el amor que sostiene el universo no parece protegernos del mal que lo amenaza.Si el evangelio señala a alguien exterior a nosotros como responsable, al menos en parte, de nuestro sufrimiento es para dar testimonio de la victoria final del bien sobre todas las fuerzas destructoras que actúan contra la vida: » Tened ánimo, yo he vencido al mundo» (Juan 16: 33).Señor, dame la sabiduría que necesito para no juzgar lo que ignoro y para procurar ser un instrumento de liberación en el complejo mundo en el que vivo. 

Hey Family, how are you? Have you ever wondered why sometimes you feel condemned, or that God has forsaken or forgotten you or maybe he hasn't forgiven you ? Tune in for a quick word from the Lord about the projections of Satan.

The world believes that intellectual knowledge is power, but that is part of Satan's plan to get us to worship our mind and intellect. Satanism, the New Age, and even "normal" worldly thinking teach some form of mind control. But it is not God's way. The Holy Spirit is meant to be in charge of our lives and our mind.  

In the words of C. S. Lewis, "You can give the devil too little or too much attention." Christians should definitely focus more on Christ than on Satan. But ignorance of the devil, his demons, and their tactics can be dangerous. In this podcast message then, we tackle some of the questions people have about the devil and his demons, with Biblical answers.

What if chasing fame in the music industry meant selling your soul, and someone actually asked you to? Christina Chaney was on the brink of stardom when a top-tier producer casually offered her instant fame, if she'd make a deal with the devil. That terrifying moment unraveled a string of supernatural encounters, including a vivid out-of-body experience in the second heaven where Satan himself tried to recruit her. Now a worship leader and deliverance minister, Christina exposes the hidden spiritual war pulsing behind the music industry, and how music has always been a battlefield between light and darkness.

Jesus, how are You praying for me? I’d never thought to ask that question until my friend Lou shared the experience of his heart-cry to Christ when he was faced with a situation that required more wisdom and strength than he was able to muster. Hearing him voice that noteworthy question in prayer has helped me add a fresh dimension to my understanding and practice of prayer. In Luke 22, there was no mystery as to how Jesus was praying for Simon Peter: “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail” (vv. 31-32). When Peter was battered through trial, his faith flickered. But because of Christ’s grace, it didn’t fail. The book of Acts tells us how Jesus’ prayers for Peter—His eager but weak disciple—were answered. God used him to preach the good news about Christ to Jews and gentiles alike. And Jesus’ prayer ministry hasn’t ended. Paul reminds us that “Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us” (Romans 8:34). When you find yourself in the throes of trial or temptation, remember that Jesus, who prayed for His disciples (see John 17:13-20) remains in prayer for those who have believed their message about Him.

When we feel stuck, is God redirecting us, or are spiritual forces trying to derail us? Pastor John delves into the mysteries of providence.
