2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. Here's a phrase every believer needs to get settled, “IT IS WRITTEN”
“Bring Your Bible” is a simple reminder for all of us that actually believe the Bible to be the Word of God, to take a closer look as to how we got to those beliefs. Seriously, Is this book we call The Holy Bible actually God's Word? As we said last week, we have to acknowledge that by design, there is an element of faith involved in accepting the Bible as The Word of God. THE BIBLE— (collection of books) 66 books, 40 writers, one author, 3 languages, over 1500 years The revelation of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom, came directly from Him to His creation.

Alan briefly unpacks three reasons why daily Bible reading should be a priority.
Comparing Feedings of the 5000 and 4000 5000 Jewish 5 could represent Torah/Law - Jewish 1000 could represent everyone - multiplication… Jewish boy had the bread - Jesus Crowd told to go sit on green grass - seed (Jesus) had already come to the Jews 12 baskets of leftovers gathered after people satisfied - represents the 12 tribes of Israel 4000 Gentile In between the two stories - the story of the Syrophoenician Woman's Faith Let the children be fed FIRST Not right to take the children's BREAD and throw it to the dogs Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs… 4 could represent the 4 cardinal directions - NESW - to represent ALL people of the earth 1000 could represent everyone - multiplication… Disciples had the bread - they were Jewish, Gentiles didn't have access to him yet… Crowd told to go sit on the ground - the seed (Jesus/Gospel) hadn't been tossed out, taken root, and grown yet… Ok for dogs to sit on the ground… 7 baskets of leftovers gathered after people satisfied - could represent the 7 days of creation - the entire world - the Messiah is for everyone - the whole world… Genealogy of Jesus in Matthew… Abraham Isaac Jacob (twin, but Esau not mentioned, line doesn't go thru him) Judah and his brothers (mentioned, but not by name, line doesn't go thru them) Perez and Zerah (Zee-rah) Twins - both mentioned, by name Line goes thru Perez Why are both names mentioned? I think it has to do with the meanings of their names… T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

On this episode, Granger sits down with pastor and author David Platt for a deep, honest conversation about something every believer wrestles with: How do you actually hear the voice of God? David unpacks why the Bible is unlike any other book, how it’s not just a rulebook but a personal love letter from God, and how reading it transforms the way we live, pray, and relate to others. They dive into practical steps for making Bible reading more than a checkbox—how to meditate on Scripture, memorize it, apply it, pray it, and share it with others. David shares stories from his own life (including how his “taste buds” for God’s Word have changed over the years), and Granger opens up about the struggles we all face with consistency and distraction. Whether you’re a brand-new Christian or you’ve been in church all your life, this episode will encourage you to rethink your approach to God’s Word, pursue real intimacy with Jesus, and experience the life you were created for. Plus, there’s a powerful challenge at the end about leaving a legacy of faith—one day and one verse at a time.

Send us a textINTRODUCTION:In this episode, the speaker explores a narrative from Acts chapter 16, focusing on a girl enslaved by an evil spirit of divination used for profit by her owners. The narrator connects this ancient tale to contemporary struggles with witchcraft and spiritual oppression, particularly in New York City. This incident is paralleled with various personal and biblical examples to discuss how the devil often traps individuals and entire communities in spiritual bondage. The message conveys that the devil uses witchcraft to keep people oppressed and away from God, while emphasizing the importance of a personal relationship with God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. The speaker highlights the prevalence of witchcraft in New York City and warns against naivety in spiritual matters, advising fasting, prayer, and Bible study. They discuss the modern resurgence of Divine power, particularly outside traditional church settings, and navigates through the complexities of “good” versus “righteous” behavior. The script ends with encouragement to discern the Prescence of Yahweh, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost in everyday sayings and music.Playlists: https://music.apple.com/profile/DeVannonSeraphinoWebsite: https://www.SexDrugsAndJesus.comINCLUDED IN THIS EPISODE (But not limited to):· Lucifer Oppresses His Mages.· God Can Un-witch a Witch.· Empathy for the Devil's Mages.· Biblical Trends Being Repeated Now. · For the Devil vs. For the Universe.· Traits of Being Under Witchcraft.· God is Ready to Perform Miracles.· Witch Families.· Witchcraft is a Battle of Will.· The End Times. · Read Your Bible.· The Trinity is in the Music.
