https://andrewhorval.substack.com/p/overcoming-temptation

Episode SummaryIn this insightful episode, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen reveals one of Satan's most effective tactics: convincing believers to trust in themselves. Through a gripping story from a Vietnam War veteran and powerful truths from Ephesians 6, he shows how self-reliance—rather than strength—is often our downfall in spiritual warfare. If you've ever felt defeated despite trying your hardest, this message will open your eyes to the real source of strength: moment-by-moment dependence on Jesus Christ.Topics DiscussedRevival updates from Michigan and upcoming ministry in ColoradoA wartime illustration of enemy deceptionWhy self-dependence is spiritual sabotageWhat “be strong in the Lord” really means (Ephesians 6:10)The role of English grammar in understanding the BibleHow human strength fails under spiritual pressurePersonal reflections on a lifetime of weakness and God's faithfulnessPrayer as the breath of dependenceThe connection between pride, self-reliance, and defeatHow to face spiritual battles with real powerKey TakeawaysSatan doesn't need to overpower you—he just needs you to trust yourself.Real strength isn't self-generated. It flows from continual dependence on Christ.Prayer is not optional—it's how you breathe in the strength of God.Victory doesn't come from trying harder. It comes from surrendering fully.

Episode SummaryIn this powerful continuation of his series on The Believer's Authority, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen shares how believers can experience real victory over Satan—not by personal strength, but by being fully submitted to Christ. Reflecting on the recent passing of his prayer-warrior mother-in-law, Dr. Van Gelderen weaves together personal testimony, scriptural truth, and vivid illustrations to show how spiritual authority flows from surrender. When you're under Christ's authority, you stand over the enemy—and he must flee.Topics DiscussedRemembering Janet Cross and her legacy of prayer and faithWhat it means to be “in Christ” and seated in heavenly places (Ephesians 1–2)Christ's victory over Satan and the believer's shared triumphJames 4:7 and the conditions for resisting the devilDelegated authority illustrated with a traffic cop and a mother's commandWhy praying “in Jesus' name” is more than a phraseResisting Satan's influence in weather, illness, and other real-life situationsTotal surrender and total dependence as the foundation for authorityKey TakeawaysSpiritual authority is not earned through strength, but accessed through submission.Christ's victory over Satan is final, and believers share in that authority when yielded to Him.Praying “in Jesus' name” means aligning with His will and authority, not just using a phrase.We must not be passive in the spiritual battle; resisting Satan is an active responsibility.Whether facing external circumstances or internal battles, the path to victory is the same: under authority, over the enemy.

EPISODE 455 | The 7 Keys to Overcoming TemptationTemptation is not just an obstacle—it's a battleground. This Sunday's Gospel places us in the heart of the desert, where Jesus, weakened from fasting, faces the full force of Satan's attack. If the Son of God Himself was tested, we must ask: Why does God allow temptation? What is its purpose? Is it simply a trap, or is it an opportunity—an invitation to grow stronger, to deepen our trust, to prove our love? The enemy's goal isn't just to make us sin—it's to keep us stagnant, discouraged, and disconnected from God. But Jesus doesn't just endure temptation—He overcomes it. And in doing so, He gives us the blueprint for victory. This week on IGNITE Radio Live, we break open The 7 Keys to Overcoming Temptation—practical, powerful strategies to fight back, stand firm, and come out stronger. Because the battle is real, but so is the victory. (⁠Guide Sheet⁠) We introduce IGNITE Lent: Enter Into the Heart of Our Savior, happening Thursday, March 20 at 6:30 PM at Our Lady of Lourdes.

Not everything you want is good for you. In part three of "James," Pastor Josh explores what temptation is and how you can overcome it to walk in true freedom.February 9, 2025

In Week 1 of The Book of James: Count It All Joy, Pastor Travis unpacks the power and wisdom of James 1, a letter written by Jesus' own brother—a man who didn't believe until he encountered the resurrected Christ. Just like James, we all have an until moment—when God meets us in our struggles and changes everything. Pastor Travis shares his own until moment, recounting his near-death experience from a massive stroke, where the only words he could speak were, "Count it all joy." This chapter of James reminds us that trials aren't setbacks; they're setups for God's greater purpose. It challenges us to embrace joy in the fire, resist temptation with God's strength, and move from just hearing His Word to living it out. This message is a powerful reminder that God is refining us, strengthening us, and leading us to victory. When we trust Him and walk in obedience, we're not just surviving—we're stepping into His blessing.
