The book of Revelation reveals Jesus Christ as the glorified, returning King—crowned with many crowns and unrivaled in power, authority, wisdom, and majesty. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef contrasts Christ's humble first coming with the triumph of His promised return.At His first coming, Jesus was led like a lamb to the slaughter and wore a crown of thorns. At His second coming, He will lead the victory procession of His people and reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. The Savior who was crucified for sinners will return in His full glory, and every rival will be exposed as powerless before Him.But the promise of Christ's return is not merely something for believers to study—it should transform the way we live today. Dr. Youssef reminds us that those who truly anticipate Jesus' appearing will give themselves more fully to His work. Every relationship, decision, sacrifice, and act of service can become an opportunity to honor the coming King.Jesus has gone to prepare a place for His people, and He has promised to return and bring them home. When eternity with Christ becomes our ultimate destination and purpose, the trials of this life lose their grip, and we can experience the peace that comes from knowing our King is coming again.Pray with me.King of kings and Lord of lords, forgive me for the times when I have forgotten Your majesty. Each day may I remember who You are and invite You to be the King of my life. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

What should believers do when the foundations of society seem to be crumbling? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to Psalm 11 and the prophet Isaiah for encouragement in seasons of anxiety, uncertainty, and change. Judah faced such a moment when King Uzziah died after more than five decades on the throne. The nation suddenly found itself asking, “What happens now?” Isaiah may have wondered the same thing. But in that very season of upheaval, God gave him a transforming vision: “I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne.” The message could not have been clearer. Earthly rulers change, nations shift, and circumstances become uncertain—but the true King never leaves His throne. That same Truth speaks powerfully to believers today. Our hope is not ultimately anchored in political stability, cultural strength, or human leadership. It rests in the changeless promises and sovereign rule of Almighty God. And we know even more than Isaiah did. Jesus Christ—the King who was mocked, crucified, and buried—rose victoriously from the grave and reigns today. Whatever uncertainty surrounds you, lift your eyes above the turmoil. Your King is alive, His throne is secure, and He can be trusted with whatever comes next. Let us pray. Lord Jesus, help me to trust You, resting in Your love and promises even when this world and my circumstances look bleak. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

When the Christian life gets hard, where do you find the fuel to keep going?In 1 Timothy 6, Paul gives Timothy four commands: Flee. Pursue. Fight. Take hold. But he doesn't leave Timothy staring at himself and trying harder. He turns his eyes toward God: the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords.When your faith is weak, temptation is strong, obedience is difficult, or you're simply exhausted, the answer isn't more willpower. Look up.We'll discover where the fuel for the fight really comes from.1) Know your identity2) Fight your battle3) See your GodText: 1 Timothy 6:11-16
The Time Traveler’s Quick Guide to Armageddon Part Four And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” (Re 19:11-16) Our lesson on the battle of Armageddon, or Har Megiddo, will be deep this week, so deep that I cannot edit a simpler or quick version so please join us on this podcast so we can unpack this herd of white horses with their riders as well as their commander.

Look Up to the True King | Thriving in Babylon Nebuchadnezzar had seen God work again and again. He recognized God's power, but he still hadn't surrendered his life to Him. In Daniel 4, everything changes. At the height of his success, Nebuchadnezzar's pride is confronted, and God uses an unexpected season of humbling to turn his focus away from himself and toward heaven. This message from Thriving in Babylon explores the danger of pride, God's sovereignty, repentance, restoration, and the hope found in knowing that no one is too far gone for God to reach. Nebuchadnezzar's story challenges us to consider who is really sitting on the throne of our lives and reminds us that when our true focus changes, our lives change. Key Insights: Recognizing God is not the same as surrendering to God. Nebuchadnezzar had witnessed God's work for decades, but seeing God's power did not automatically mean giving God his heart. Pride can hide inside success. The problem wasn't that Nebuchadnezzar had accomplished great things. It was that he viewed those things as evidence of his own greatness rather than gifts entrusted to him by God. God can use long-term faithfulness. Daniel faithfully served and prayed while walking alongside Nebuchadnezzar for decades. His story encourages us not to give up on the people God has placed around us. Humbling can be an act of grace. God's confrontation of Nebuchadnezzar wasn't simply about bringing him down. It ultimately brought him to repentance, restored his focus, and led him to acknowledge God as the true King. No one is too far gone for God to reach. If God could reach Nebuchadnezzar after everything he had done and years of resisting Him, we should not give up hope for ourselves or for the people we're praying for.

Psalm 44-48 King of Kings Forever and Ever by Upcountry Calvary
Matthew 21 opens with Jesus's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem—his coronation as King. Pastor Karl unpacks why this moment was unlike any earthly coronation: a king who arrived not on a warhorse but on a humble donkey, fulfilling prophecies spoken generations earlier through Isaiah, Zechariah, and Daniel. As King, Jesus fulfills God's mission, exercises God's authority, restores proper worship according to God's Word, and extends God's compassion. From the crowds shouting "Hosanna" to Jesus clearing the temple of corruption, this passage reveals a King who demands total allegiance while never withholding compassion from those who come to Him in need.

Preacher: Aaron MenikoffTitle: King of KingsSeries: Persevere! A Series through RevelationPassage: Revelation 19:11–21
The Bible says in Luke 21:26 that in the last days "Men's hearts shall fail them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken." My question to the Church is are we ready? Who will fall for the great deception, and how can we raise an end-time army on baby bottles and pacifiers?

Imagine being granted an audience with a king. As you enter the throne room, you would not begin by rushing through your list of requests—you would first acknowledge his majesty. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reflects on the opening words of the Lord's Prayer: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” To hallow God's name means to set it apart as holy. God is sovereign, omniscient, righteous, just, merciful, faithful, compassionate, and true. He is the Creator of the universe and the King of kings. Yet through faith in Jesus Christ, this holy God becomes our heavenly Father, and we are invited to come before Him in prayer. Dr. Youssef reminds us that the more we know God's character, the deeper our fellowship with Him becomes. Beginning prayer with reverence reorients our hearts, shifting our focus from our needs and desires to the greatness, holiness, and goodness of God. Jesus did not give the Lord's Prayer as a lifeless ritual, but as a guide for fellowship with the Father. As children of God, we have free access to the throne room of the King—and there is no greater honor than calling Him “Our Father.” Join me in prayer. Precious Lord, thank You for inviting me into Your presence. I praise You as King of kings and Lord of lords and also thank You for being my Father. There is no one like You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission.

The psalmists spoke of the coming Messiah 1,000 years before Jesus' birth—and their prophecies were fulfilled with perfect accuracy in Christ. But what do these Messianic psalms mean for believers today, 2,000 years after His first coming? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us that the psalmists were people just like us: full of courage and confidence one moment, yet crying out in anguish and longing the next. The Messianic psalms—such as Psalms 2, 16, and 110—teach us that no matter what emotions we bring or what circumstances we face, we can come freely before God. He is awesome and mighty, yet He is also our loving provider. His steadfast love is from everlasting to everlasting for those who fear Him. Dr. Youssef also explains that while Christ has already come, believers are still looking ahead to a more glorious day: His return. The psalmists call us to remember God's saving work in our lives, prepare now by yielding every part of ourselves to the King of kings, and hope joyfully for the promised future—life forever in the presence of the Lord in the new heaven and new earth. Prayer: My Lord and King, my hope is in You. Help me to remember Your goodness, prepare for Your coming, and anticipate the future consummation of Your purposes—Your eternal Kingdom. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Even if we aren't in charge, we want to know the plan and the timing, and see it go the way we want. But the choice to do what we wanted rather than what God said led to this whole mess from the start (Gen. 3). God plans to set all things right through a perfect human King: Jesus. Many want Jesus to help them with their “kingdom”. But God won't have it. Here we learn to worship the King of Kings.

Join us as we dig deeper into last Sunday's sermon from Pastor Gabe Kasper "The Gospel for 3,000" and hear from Amy Duncan and Nate Zuellig on "King Of Kings". Digging Deeper Questions: When we consider the options for belief in this world, how do the resurrection and uniqueness of Jesus make a difference to out faith? How is the reality that it "was our sin that held him there (on the cross)" both a convicting and liberating word? When we look at the life of the early church, where do you see your life in the church? Are there areas for growth for you? Our church? Scripture Reading: Acts 2:22-47 22 "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23 this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. 25 For David says concerning him, "'I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken; 26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; my flesh also will dwell in hope. 27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One see corruption. 28 You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence.' 29 "Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, 31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. 33 Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, "'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, 35 until I make your enemies your footstool."' 36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified." 37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" 38 And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself." 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation." 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls. 42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

In this extraordinary episode Reagan talks with Ryan Skoog who is an author and the founder and president of VENTURE, a nonprofit that works in the toughest places of the world, serving war refugees, trafficked people, oppressed children, and the unreached. Ryan shares personal stories about encountering benevolent angels, the demonic, miracles of God and the power of the Lord Jesus Christ that has transformed his life to reach the darkest places of the world. Ryan co-authored the book, "Lead with Prayer" which has moved many around the world to use their faith in Christ to pray without ceasing for God's Kingdom to come to earth as it is in heaven. Ryan explains how the global church is exploding around the world even through persecution and intense evil and through the power of prayer people are encountering the love of Jesus as they get set free from the demonic chains of the enemy! This conversation will inspire you to see prayer not as an afterthought, but as the central strategy of the Christian life.

You don't have to be afraid.” That encounter set him on a path of boldness—leading him into war zones, Bible smuggling, and fearless ministry. (04:30) – The Global Church Is Exploding Ryan explains how the church is growing faster today than at any point in history, especially in places considered unsafe, unreached, and under-resourced. (10:30) – Learning from the Global Church Ryan challenges Western believers to sit at the feet of persecuted Christians: (12:30) – The Power of Prayer in Leadership Ryan shares research revealing that many Western leaders pray less as they gain experience—contrary to Jesus' example of withdrawing more often to be with the Father. The book Lead with Prayer was born out of hundreds of interviews with global leaders whose prayer lives looked remarkably similar. (15:00) – Mama Rose's Story One of the most moving testimonies: a woman whose home was bombed seven times, who stared down a cobra while bombs fell, and who now cares for thousands of orphans. Her prayer habit? “I tithe my time—two and a half hours with Jesus every day.” (17:30) – Prayer as Friendship with Jesus From war zones to Wall Street, Ryan highlights how true prayer is rooted in relationship: (19:16) – Walking with God Daily Reagan reflects on her own prayer walks and how they mirror the global church's simple yet profound practice of abiding in Christ. 20:59Walking with God: A Return to Eden Ryan reflects on Genesis and Acts 3, describing how sin interrupted our walk with God—and how Christ restores it. “Repent and believe… so the cool of the day may return.” 23:14Crisis & Nightmares: The Catalyst for Change During COVID, Ryan's business collapsed—and his daughter was tormented by terrifying nightmares connected to their ministry. 24:08“You've Never Cried Alone” Ryan recounts an emotional encounter with Jesus. He sees Christ weeping with him—a moment that reveals the deep empathy of God. 28:25Jesus Weeps With Us The host reflects on a past ministry experience where someone saw Jesus weeping with a rape survivor—prompting a powerful conversation on the mystery of suffering and Christ's compassion. “Jesus is weeping with you. He continually intercedes for us.” 30:28Adoption, War, and Jesus' Presence Ryan shares the harrowing story of adopting a girl whose father was tortured in Myanmar. After surviving unimaginable trauma, she experienced a healing vision of Jesus telling her: “You're safe now.” 31:55From Night Terrors to Peace Since that moment with Jesus, she has not had a single night terror. Though still healing, the transformation began in one moment of divine presence. 32:18God's Special Grace for the Vulnerable Ryan and the host reflect on how children—especially those with special needs or trauma—often experience heaven in unique, personal ways. “Why would we think otherwise? Our God is so good.” 33:22Karma vs. the Gospel: Identity and Worth in Nepal Ryan explains how Hindu and Buddhist worldviews contribute to generational oppression and trafficking—especially among the Badi people in Nepal, known nationally as “the trafficked caste.” “Until the gospel comes in and transforms their identity… they believe they deserve to be abused.” 34:48The Gospel is Exploding Despite deep-rooted oppression, the gospel is transforming hearts around the world. One academic missions expert summed it up: “Jesus is crushing it.” 36:47When Prayer Doesn't Make Sense (But You Obey Anyway) Even when the Spirit's answer seems illogical, obedience is the path of wisdom and safety. 38:13When Partners Are Imprisoned or Martyred Heart-wrenching updates from global partners, some of whom are jailed or martyred for sharing the gospel. “We created a separate fund for the widows of martyred and imprisoned partners.” 38:46Their Prayer: Let the Gospel Go Fast Despite persecution, these leaders pray not for safety but for speed—that the good news would spread rapidly. 40:02Stop Selling, Start Loving The global church models evangelism not as performance or pressure, but as presence, prayer, and love. “In America, we don't pray as much and feel like we need to be salesmen.” 40:36 — Neuroscience and Prayer Habits Research shows: 20 minutes of prayer a day for 8 weeks can literally rewire your brain—reducing fear, anxiety, and increasing joy and openness. “Our bodies are wired to fight prayer. We have to train them.” 41:49 — Free Prayer Tools Ryan mentions free downloadable prayer habit cards at LeadWithPrayer.com, designed to help individuals, families, and ministries build consistent, life-giving prayer rhythms. 43:06 — Fighting for His Daughter in Prayer Ryan shares a personal, vulnerable story of laying face-down outside his daughter's room for months, praying for breakthrough. “I don't know why it took so long—but there is a war.” 43:45 — Spiritual Battles Are Real A chilling moment of spiritual connection: a man in South East Asia has identical nightmares to Ryan's daughter—confirming they were fighting the same battle from across the world. “We were fighting together.” 46:22 — With Him, Either Way Whether through cancer, trauma, or unanswered prayer, being with Jesus is always the goal. The joy of the global church often comes from this eternal mindset. “If the goal of life is to be like Jesus, then cancer was finishing school.” 47:57 — Your Kids Aren't Your Own Surrendering your children to God's leadership is painful—but essential. Whether it's through a miracle or a challenge, they are gifts to steward. “The gifts are both miracles and challenges.” 52:04 — Intimacy Through Surrender The most profound joy comes not from ease, but from intimacy with God in suffering. Every story in Lead With Prayer ends the same way: it was worth it, because He was there. “Desire His presence… even when you don't know what's next.”
Surrendering to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords doesn't remove your freedom but, rather, is how to finally find it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The phrase “Christ is King” is absolutely true when understood in its proper biblical setting. Jesus Christ is Israel's Messiah, David's greater Son, the rightful heir to the throne, and the One who will return at the Second Advent to rule this world with a rod of iron. The kingdoms of this world will become His, Jerusalem will be the city of the great King, and the nations will one day bow before Him whether they want to or not. But for those of us who are born again, we have been put into the body of Christ who is our Saviour, Redeemer and Friend. We will stand with Him on ‘that day' when He becomes KING OF KINGS and inherits the kingdom prepared for Him from the foundation of the world.“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” Colossians 1:18 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the modern “Christ Is King” movement, when connected to Christian Nationalism, is not merely a group of people saying something biblically true. It is often operating from a badly mixed doctrinal framework that blends kingdom-now theology, political dominion, Roman Catholic social order, Protestant reconstructionism, and nationalist identity politics into one confused religious-political package. Rightly divided, the problem is simple. They are trying to take language that belongs to Israel's prophetic kingdom program and force it into the Church Age, then use it to sanctify earthly political power. Jesus Christ is King. No Bible believer disputes that. He is the promised King of Israel, the Son of David, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, and the One who will return to this earth to sit upon the throne of His father David. But that kingdom is not being established now through America, Rome, Washington, political movements, conservative activism, or religious nationalism. Where the ‘Christ Is King' movement goes wrong is that it often takes a true prophetic title of Christ and turns it into a present-tense political weapon. It becomes less about the gospel of the grace of God and more about asserting religious identity, reclaiming national power, confronting perceived enemies, and building a “Christian civilization.” That is not Paul's doctrine for the Body of Christ. Paul does not present Jesus Christ to the Church primarily as our political King. He presents Him as our Saviour, our Head, our Redeemer, our Life, and our Blessed Hope. Today we show you the heresy of the corrupt Christian Nationalism and Dominion Theology movements that wants an earthly kingdom now, without an heavenly King to physically rule over it. They see themselves as the king, and that's a problem.
Title: Wrong Uniform, Right FaithScripture Reading: Matthew 8:5-13Series: Be Bold!What truly defines a bold faith: outward appearances and accomplishments, or something far deeper? This message concludes our "Be Bold!" series by exploring what it means to salute the highest authority. We learn that bold faith is not about the uniform you wear, as seen in the Roman Centurion's faith, which transcended his Gentile identity. Furthermore, bold faith is not about the medals you've earned; the Centurion's charitable works were not the basis for his miracle, reminding us that human merit and transactional appeals to God are futile. Ultimately, bold faith is about the commander you salute, exemplified by the Centurion's profound humility regarding himself and unwavering confidence in Jesus's authority to heal remotely. Our boldest faith is found not in our outward identity or personal achievements, but in our humble and confident surrender to the supreme authority of Jesus Christ.
