There's something interesting going on in Luke 16-19. It's a large swath off Scripture, full of seemingly distinct and self-contained events and parables. And yet, they are not completely distinct. A careful reading, actually, shows how every segment fits together in a beautiful whole. And within this narrative are important truths about how God treasures the very people who earthly society considers insignificant. In fact, God's kingdom is comprised of society's rejects, all of whom illustrate what it means to have true faith and what it means to be a devoted follower of Christ. +++Support The Bible (Unmuted) via Patreon: patreon.com/TheBibleUnmutedMatthew's blog: matthewhalsted.substack.comDon't forget to subscribe to The Bible (Unmuted)!

Description: In this powerful video, we explore the growing phenomenon of AI chatbots claiming to be Jesus—and the spiritual questions that arise from it. With over 900 conversations recorded, people of all ages are engaging with these digital entities. But what does scripture say about false prophets and deception in the end times?We reflect on Matthew 24: "Take heed that no one deceives you..." and discuss the difference between the true Christ and artificial imitations. Is AI a tool for divine wisdom or a dangerous substitute for spiritual truth?

Judy Howard Peterson is with us for a part two discussion of last weeks message. This week she looks at Matthew 26:47-56, "Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me?". There are so many biblical interpretations of this passage leading to every different aspects of theology. How do we hold the reality that Judas was one of the twelve that Jesus specifically invited?
It was faith that immersed you into Jesus, the Anointed One, and now you are covered and clothed with His anointing (Galatians 3:27). Thank you, Jesus!
Not all of Jesus' teachings are warm and fuzzy. Some are difficult to understand. Others are jagged little pills that are all too easy to understand but incredibly hard to swallow. Here are some of the hard teachings of Jesus from the Gospel of Mark in the Bible. #MoHardSayings
In Mark 14:12-31, Jesus shares the Last Supper with His disciples, confronting them with the question: ‘What will happen to your faith when the pressure is on?'
Quite a few people think that when they die and meet God face to face, they'll be able to outline how their good deeds outweigh their bad deeds and that will be sufficient for God to say to them, "Come on in!" This is one of the biggest lies out there. If you're not sure how all this works, join us as we examine the type of faith that actually saves.Saving faith...1) Comes by hearing2) Confesses unworthiness3) Trusts in Jesus' authorityText: Luke 7:1-10

This interview with John Davis ("John of New") recounts the most-detailed past life with Jesus and exposes Jesus' true teachings & the Vatican's lies. He shares his past life regression experience where he connected with his past life as John the Beloved, one of the apostles of Jesus. We uncover the true teachings of Jesus, such as the importance of turning the other cheek and staying in a state of love and non-reactivity. This podcast with John Davis, also explores the importance of coming back to oneself and realizing that all methods and religions are just pathways to finding love and oneness within. John Davis was raised in a Catholic family and did not believe in reincarnation when an intuitive reader told him he "walked with Jesus," and revealed who he had been. Intuitively John felt that he had, but being Catholic he suppressed those feelings and brushed the idea aside. But God/Universe doesn't always let things go. Over the next year, and without provocation, nineteen different readers told John of the same past life. Still defiant and not wanting this information only from psychics, John found a past life regression therapist and was regressed. The results were startling. John had full sensory remembrance of the life and brings forth the lessons he learned under Jeshua's tutelage. ___________________ PODCAST CHAPTERS 00:00 - John Davis Intro 04:39 - The Second Coming According to Jesus & Apostles 09:11 - Humanity's Beliefs Before Organized Religion 11:20 - John's Regression: Encounter with Jesus 15:52 - John the Beloved and His Connection to Jesus 19:54 - The Illusion of Physical Reality 20:37 - John the Beloved's Realization of Oneness 22:27 - Jesus' True Teachings on Love and Enlightenment 24:17 - Handling Confrontations with Love 30:14 - Jesus' Expression on the Cross 35:46 - Jeshua's Teachings on Self-Awareness 39:56 - Managing Fear and Changing Your Timeline 41:51 - The Power of Exhaling and Present Moment Belief 43:20 - How Jesus Healed Through Faith 49:50 - The Unification of Masculine and Feminine Energies 53:16 - Religion and Gender Constructs 56:12 - Hidden Teachings in the Vatican Library 01:00:15 - Love vs. Fear in Religion and Society 01:04:33 - Touching God and the Universe Connection 01:06:31 - Mary Magdalene's Reawakening 01:10:34 - Suppression of Feminine Energy 01:15:16 - Yeshua's Understanding of Divine Union 01:21:09 - Manifesting Desires 01:23:50 - Most Inspirational Moments in Life 01:27:09 - God Speaks in Feelings 01:28:29 - Message from Yeshua's Inner Circle 01:33:11 - Humor in Spiritual Teachings 01:37:20 - Funniest Moments with Yeshua 01:39:13 - Final Trio & Time Capsule Question ___________________ Guest: John Davis | "John of New" Website | https://www.johnofnew.com/#/ 1:1 Private Sessions with John | https://www.johnofnew.com/private-sessions.html#/ YouTube | @johnofnew Host: Emilio Ortiz Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/ Subscribe to YouTube Channel | https://www.youtube.com/@EmilioOrtiz Watch Emilio's latest series on 4biddenknowledge TV l https://bit.ly/AwakenThe6thSense Shop Our Clothing Collection l https://www.unlockedmovement.com/collections/justtapin ___________________ Special Offerings to Support the Show: ✦ Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation on PayPal

Luke: The Person and Mission of Jesus / Faith; Thanksgiving, Healing / Luke 17:11-19; Leviticus 13:45-46; Leviticus 13:1-8; Luke 8:24; Luke 9:49; Philippians 3:7-10 True faith is demonstrated through obedience to God's Word, as seen in the story of the ten lepers who were healed when they followed Jesus' command. It reminds us that Jesus' instructions always align with God's law, and faith is revealed in action, not just belief. The message also highlights the importance of gratitude, urging believers to respond to God's work in their lives with thankfulness, like the one leper who returned to thank Jesus. Through our faith, obedience, and gratitude, others can witness and experience God's presence.

We struggle with falling into temptation because we tend to respond to circumstances through our feelings rather than through faith in God. Jesus overcame the cross by submitting to God's will through prayer in the garden. Prayer in the midst of temptation is dependency on God's power to overcome the desire to sin that I can't overcome in my strength. It is prayer that grants me the power to walk in Faith instead of my feelings.

Paul, Jon and Liz continue their conversation about Jesus's faith, looking at how he loves the disciples and the crowds over the course of a 24-hour period in his ministry. This pattern of Jesus is all through the gospels: he sees a large crowd, has compassion on them because they're like sheep without a shepherd, and then he begins teaching and healing. So this vacation that Jesus and the disciples are taking is interrupted by 25,000 people… A life of faith will be filled with surprises and unexpected things! The reason Satan has no hold on Jesus is because the only thing Jesus wants is the love of his Father. So there's no hook, no crack in Jesus' armor; Satan has no leverage over him. I've often thought of that during times of suffering. If I surrender my job, my family, my career, my spouse, my health then Satan has no hold on me. He can't tempt me with something that I don't own. That's why suffering is so powerful in the Christian life; it strips us of something we might be tempted to own.

Thanksgiving and gratitude are so important as we prepare to celebrate with family and friends not only for the thanksgiving holiday but as Christmas is right around the corner. To help us not forget to say thank you to our Father in Heaven. To have that heart postured toward Jesus in total thanksgiving and gratitude. Taking some time to be mindful of saying a heart felt "thank you" to the Lord will help us to feel more peace in our body, soul and spirit.
