TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! Today is September 8th, and our journey through the Scriptures takes us into Jeremiah 42–44, Psalm 48, and Revelation 13. In Jeremiah, the people ask the prophet to seek God's direction for them. They promise to obey whatever God says, whether they like the answer or not. Yet when Jeremiah tells them not to flee to Egypt, they reject the word they had asked to receive. Fear persuades them that they must secure their own future, even if doing so means abandoning the way God has placed before them. In Revelation 13, John describes beasts, deception, coercive power, and the mysterious number 666. These images warn us about what happens when human power is magnified, worshiped, and treated as ultimate. Psalm 48 gives us a different vision. God is our fortress and our security. We are invited to meditate on his unfailing love and to remember that God has not abandoned or separated himself from us. Today's readings confront the ancient lie that we are alone and must save ourselves. They invite us to trust Emmanuel, the God who is with us, and to align our hearts with his kingdom of love rather than the fearful kingdoms we create for ourselves. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God Is with You We are told that 666 is the number of a man. A great deal has been written about this mysterious number. Three sixes. A trinity of numbers, but an unholy trinity. It is humanity magnified, exalted, and worshiped. It is a beastly imitation standing in stark contrast to the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We are told that wisdom is required to understand its meaning, and I do not pretend to possess that kind of wisdom. But it seems to me that whether we are looking at the queen of heaven confronted by Jeremiah or the many-headed beast described by John, the result is much the same. When humanity believes the serpent's lie of separation, destruction follows. The people in Jeremiah's day refused to trust that God was with them. They would not believe that he would protect them, rescue them, and give them life. Believing themselves to be alone, they separated themselves from God's will and fled to Egypt, another land of exile. The same pattern begins in the garden. Adam and Eve believe the suggestion that God is withholding himself from them. They imagine that he is not truly with them or for them. They hide from the God who has never stopped seeking them, and they experience exile in the very garden where God desires to dwell with them. This tragic pattern repeats itself through history. In our blindness, we fail to recognize the presence of the Triune God of life. We believe ourselves to be alone, so we rely on the gods of our own making. We worship human strength, political power, control, violence, wealth, or whatever else promises to secure us. And the result is always the same. The serpent's strategy has not really changed. Seeds of doubt are planted: God is not present. God is not with you. God is not for you. Believing that we are alone and that God is indifferent, we attempt to construct a life apart from him, apart from the Triune life of love and flourishing that has always been offered to us. But the psalmist tells us another story: "O God, we meditate on your unfailing love." Our God is like a fortified wall, a citadel, and a beacon. This is the story we will continue to tell to future generations. God is not separate from you. God is with you. That is the truth. So align your heart with his will, his purposes, and his kingdom rather than your own. Renounce the lie of separation embodied in the number 666, and worship Emmanuel, the God who is with us, the God who is love. That is the prayer I have for my own soul. That is the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that is the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

The Last Days Transformation of Humanity: Paul's Warning in 2 Timothy 3 | KIB 548 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing DESCRIPTION THE LAST DAYS TRANSFORMATION OF HUMANITY Kingdom Intelligence Briefing — Episode 548 What happens to humanity when God is removed from the center, biblical restraint is rejected, and SELF takes the throne? In 2 Timothy 3:1–9, the Apostle Paul gives one of Scripture's most sobering descriptions of humanity in the last days. Paul warns that "times of difficulty" will come. But what makes those times dangerous? PEOPLE. The dangerous character of the times emerges from the increasingly dangerous character of humanity. In KIB 548, Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake examine Paul's warning and trace a downward progression beginning with one foundational disorder: ·      "People will be lovers of self." — 2 Timothy 3:2 ·      Once SELF becomes supreme, everything else begins to shift. ·      Truth becomes: "What is true for me?" ·      Morality becomes: "What feels right to me?" ·      Identity becomes: "What do I believe myself to be?" ·      Religion becomes: "What can God do for me?" ·      Worship becomes: "How does this make me feel?" ·      Humanity gradually replaces God as its own reference point. Dr. Lake describes this as an "anthropological inversion"—God, others, and self are replaced by self, personal desires, and God only when He is useful. The result is precisely the progression Paul describes: ·      Lovers of self. ·      Lovers of money. ·      Proud. ·      Arrogant. ·      Abusive. ·      Ungrateful. ·      Unholy. ·      Heartless. ·      Unappeasable. ·      Slanderous. ·      Without self-control. ·      Brutal. ·      Not loving good. ·      Treacherous. ·      Reckless. ·      Swollen with conceit. ·      Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. And then comes perhaps the most disturbing warning of all: "Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power." — 2 Timothy 3:5 Paul is not merely describing secular wickedness. He warns that rebellion can eventually CLOTHE ITSELF IN RELIGIOUS LANGUAGE. ·      Christian vocabulary without biblical obedience. ·      Worship without holiness. ·      Church attendance without discipleship. ·      Spiritual experiences without discernment. ·      Grace without repentance. ·      Faith without faithfulness. ·      Religious identity without transformation. This is RELIGION WITHOUT POWER. The episode also examines the significance of Jannes and Jambres in 2 Timothy 3:8, spiritual deception, counterfeit supernatural manifestations, the loss of self-control, increasing brutality, slander and accusation, the weakening of moral restraint, and the spiritual warfare believers may increasingly encounter in the days ahead. Paul's reference to Jannes and Jambres connects to the possibility of intensified occult counterfeits as the last days progress. Yet KIB 548 does not end with darkness. As humanity moves increasingly toward the exaltation of self, God is preparing a people who move in the opposite direction. The world becomes increasingly self-centered. | The remnant becomes increasingly Christ-centered. The world rejects holiness. | The remnant pursues holiness. The world abandons truth. | The remnant stands upon the Word. The world loses self-control. | The Holy Spirit produces self-control within God's people. The world conforms increasingly to rebellion. | The remnant is conformed increasingly to the image of Christ. The coming contrast may become unmistakable: ·      THIS IS LIFE WITHOUT GOD. ·      THIS IS LIFE WITH GOD. NOW CHOOSE. Dr. Lake's closing exhortation is urgent: when believers see 2 Timothy 3:1–9 unfolding around them, it is time to take God seriously and determine to follow biblical truth even when the surrounding culture abandons it. SPIRITUAL WARFARE IN THE DAYS AHEAD This episode also warns believers that the spiritual battle may become increasingly visible. ·      The answer is not fear. ·      The answer is preparation. ·      Learn the Word. ·      Develop discernment. ·      Understand your authority in Christ. ·      Practice obedience now. ·      Pursue holiness now. ·      Learn biblical spiritual warfare now. Do not wait until the battle becomes intense to discover what Scripture teaches about standing against the kingdom of darkness. As the episode emphasizes, believers were "birthed in the battlefield." Learning obedience to Christ now prepares God's people for increasing spiritual conflict later. KEY SCRIPTURES DISCUSSED ·      2 Timothy 3:1–9 ·      Matthew 24:3–8 ·      Matthew 8:28 ·      Genesis 3:5 ·      Genesis 6:5 ·      Isaiah 5:20 ·      Revelation 12:10 ·      Galatians 5:22–23 ·      Daniel 11:32 The core passage throughout the teaching is 2 Timothy 3:1–9, which the episode uses to contrast Paul's description of dangerous last-days humanity with the character God desires to develop within the remnant.

But the believer's assignment is not to become consumed with darkness. It is to become increasingly conformed to Jesus Christ. If the culture abandons truth—we stand for truth. If the culture rejects holiness—we pursue holiness. If the culture enthrones self—we enthrone Christ. If the world becomes increasingly governed by the flesh—we become increasingly governed by the Holy Spirit. Now is the time to GO DEEP IN THE WORD and GO DEEP IN GOD.

Revelation and Inspiration – October 31, 2026 by Percy Harrold

2026/09/06 Revelation 22:12-21 “Final Words”

Episode Summary What if your transition isn't punishment? What if it's transformation? Romans 12:2 tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. But when life changes unexpectedly—through divorce, grief, career shifts, financial uncertainty, or simply an uncomfortable season of “in between”—it's easy to interpret transition as failure. In this episode of CROWNed Through Transition, Dr. Chonta Haynes challenges that perspective. Instead of simply trying to “think positive,” she teaches a biblical approach to renewing your mind and reframing your story. You'll walk through a practical process to reveal the old story, exchange the lie for truth, fix your focus, rehearse the new identity, anchor it, move on it, and expect transformation. And Dr. Chonta shares a deeply personal part of her own crown story—including the moment she physically placed a tiara on her head during a difficult season and recognized the power of seeing herself differently. The message is simple: Your transition may not be the evidence that you're falling apart. It may be the place where God is rebuilding you. What You'll Learn What Romans 12:2 teaches about renewing your mind Why positive thinking isn't the same as biblical transformation How transition can expose the stories you've been believing How to replace limiting beliefs with biblical truth Why your income can follow your identity How to use Scripture to refocus your thinking Why obedience can move you before you feel confident How prayer helps you remain steady during transition Why your breaking point can become your building point How to identify what God has already placed “in your house” How to turn renewed thinking into faith-aligned action Detailed Timestamps 00:00 — What if transition isn't punishment?Romans 12:2 introduces the central question: could God be using your transition to transform you? 00:22 — Stop treating transition like a math problemBudgets, strategies and positive thinking cannot always address what's happening at the identity level. 00:44 — Your old story can't carry your new seasonWhy transformation requires more than changing external circumstances. 01:09 — Prayer keeps you steady when everything shiftsWhy prayer becomes an anchor during uncertain seasons. 01:23 — The feeling of flying without an airplaneDr. Chonta describes what transition can feel like when there's nothing obvious to hold onto. 01:48 — Transition as metamorphosisA new way to understand what happens after life falls apart. 02:13 — Reframe, reinvent, reimagineThe three-part process behind CROWNed Through Transition. 03:00 — R: Reveal the old storyIdentify the narrative you've been rehearsing about yourself, money, success and your current season. 03:24 — Is your confidence tied to your bank account?A challenging question about identity and financial circumstances. 03:46 — Name the storyFreedom begins with honestly identifying the story you've been believing. 04:10 — E: Exchange the lie for truthReplace the interpretation that transition means punishment with God's truth. 04:35 — What does “good” actually mean?A deeper look at Romans 8:28 and the idea of God's work being beneficial rather than merely comfortable. 04:42 — When God uses unlikely things to sustain youThe story of Elijah and the ravens becomes a powerful metaphor for unexpected provision. 05:02 — What if your setback is your raven?A perspective shift for difficult seasons. 05:12 — F: Fix your focusWhy biblical transformation requires more than motivational quotes. 05:30 — Transformation isn't behavior modificationRomans 12:2 points toward an internal transformation. 05:47 — Biblical meditation fills the mind with truthA practical distinction between emptying the mind and saturating it with Scripture. 06:08 — The three-minute morning practiceSpeak it. See it. Say yes before you feel ready. 06:44 — Are you waiting to feel confident?Why obedience can come before confidence. 07:01 — Metamorphosis requires surrenderThe caterpillar doesn't become a butterfly because it feels like one. 07:36 — Episode one of CROWNed Through TransitionThe September series begins with reframing. 08:09 — R: Rehearse it until you walk itMove from intellectual understanding to embodied transformation. 08:29 — Transition is a classroomWhat if God never wastes anything? 08:47 — Dr. Chonta's crown storyA personal story from the season after her divorce. 09:02 — When the crown felt like it had fallenThe vulnerable moment behind the origin of the crown. 09:40 — The tiara that changed her postureHow physically seeing herself differently shifted her confidence. 10:29 — Your breaking point can become your building pointWhy struggling doesn't automatically mean you're failing. 10:42 — What's already in your house?The widow's oil becomes a lesson about using what God has already given you. 11:18 — Prayer in the in-betweenWhy prayer helps reframe the story. 11:58 — Fix the root, not the resultThe heart of the reframe. 12:21 — Revelation without anchoring fadesWhy transformation requires more than inspiration. 12:32 — A: Anchor the new truthWrite the vision. Make it plain. 13:07 — M: Move—put feet to your faithTake one faith-aligned action that matches your new identity. 13:39 — What does a “built Queen” do today?Turn the new story into a practical decision. 14:06 — E: Expect transformationRomans 12:2 and the role of expectation and obedience. 14:44 — Your two action stepsWrite the old story. Then write the Scripture-based truth replacing it. 15:09 — Go deeper in communityAn invitation into CROWNed by Design and the resources supporting the transition journey. 15:29 — Next episode: Why You Can't Heal AloneThe series moves from reframing to reinventing in community. 15:48 — Don't just hear the reframe—soak itA final invitation to continue the transformation beyond the episode.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this September 7th episode, Hunter guides us through 2 Kings 25, 2 Chronicles 36, Jeremiah 40–41, and Revelation 12. Today we stand among the ruins of Jerusalem. The city has fallen. The temple is destroyed. The walls have been torn down. The people are killed, scattered, or carried into exile. Everything that once seemed secure has collapsed. And yet Jeremiah remains. The prophet who had warned of what was coming is still there among the broken walls and shattered lives. He does not seize the moment to gain power. He remains as a faithful witness to God. Jeremiah shows us something about our own calling. When the world around us feels fractured, our task is not to join the struggle for domination. Jesus has shown us another way. The kingdom of God does not tear others down in order to rise. It enters the ruins, lifts up those who have fallen, and bears faithful witness to the love of God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Their worst nightmare has come true. Everything they feared has happened. Jerusalem has fallen. The temple is destroyed. The palace is gone. The walls have been torn down. People have been killed, scattered, and carried away. They are living among the ruins. And yet Jeremiah is still there. His name carries the idea of one appointed or raised up by God. Jeremiah had been thrown into a cistern and left for dead. He had been ignored, rejected, mocked, and imprisoned. He had warned the people about where their path was leading, but they refused to listen. And now everything he warned them about has happened. Jerusalem lies in ruins. Yet Jeremiah remains. That strikes me today. Jeremiah does not remain so that he can say, "I told you so." He does not stand over the ruins congratulating himself for being right. He remains because God has appointed him to be there. He remains as a witness. And perhaps there is something here for us. We live in a world that can sometimes feel as though the walls are coming down. We see war. We see division. We see political fear and anger. We see loneliness, addiction, poverty, injustice, and violence. And sometimes we experience ruins much closer to home. A marriage falls apart. A diagnosis comes. Someone we love dies. A dream disappears. A relationship breaks. A future we imagined for ourselves suddenly seems impossible. What are we supposed to do among the ruins? The temptation is often to grab whatever power we can. That is what Ishmael son of Nethaniah does in Jeremiah's story. In the instability following Jerusalem's destruction, he reaches for power through violence. That is the way of the world. When everything feels uncertain, seize control. Protect yourself. Defeat your enemies. Make sure you come out on top. But Jesus has shown us another way. The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of this world. The world tears people down in order to lift itself up. The kingdom of God lifts up those who have been torn down. That is our calling. We are not called to conquer the ruins. We are called to remain faithfully within them. To love. To serve. To listen. To forgive. To bind wounds. To proclaim hope. To bear witness to a kingdom that cannot be destroyed. Revelation pulls back the curtain and shows us that there is a larger story unfolding. The dragon rages. The powers of accusation and violence do their worst. But they do not win. The Lamb wins. And those who belong to the Lamb overcome not by becoming dragons themselves, but through the life and self-giving love of Christ. So perhaps Jeremiah has something important to teach us today. Remain. Remain faithful. Remain loving. Remain present. When others are scrambling for power, kneel beside the wounded. When others are tearing people down, lift someone up. When fear tells you to protect yourself at all costs, remember the One who gave himself away in love. You have been appointed for such a time as this. Not necessarily to rebuild everything yourself. Not to control history. Not to win every argument. But to faithfully bear witness to Jesus right where you are. Even among the ruins. Especially among the ruins. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

What do worship and a divinely secure scroll have in common? Revelation 4 and 5 give us a glimpse into the throne room of God, where He sits at the center of all worship. We also discover that Jesus is the very answer to our inability to save ourselves. He has good plans for us, and my hope is that we will respond to His invitation to walk forward into the new life He has ransomed for us.

If Jesus wrote a letter to the church today, what would He say? For the churches in Revelation, they did not have to wonder. They got mail, directly from the Son of God! In the letters to the churches, we discover more of the heart of Jesus as he commends, confronts, and corrects the 7 churches in Revelation. My hope is that as we read through these passages, we will have ears to hear and understand what the Holy Spirit is revealing to each of us through the Scriptures.

The Gospel of Matthew was written by an eye-witness of Jesus the Christ - what He did, what He taught, the miracles He performed, the lives He transformed, and how people responded to Him. It was originally written to Jews who were eagerly looking forward to the arrival of their promised anointed Messiah. After being with Jesus for nearly three years in which the 12 disciples heard what Jesus preached and saw the miracles He performed, Christ commissioned His disciples to go out in pairs and do likewise. But He also warned them that ultimately the day would come when they would be persecuted for no other reason than they were His disciples. But Jesus gives His original disciples reasons to not fear those who oppose them. We can also be confident that ultimately, we too have no reason to fear our opponents either.

Stef speaks on "The Love you had at First". The Bible reading from Revelation 2.1-7 (NIV).

One proclamation announces availability to and for God: Here am I – or Here I am! From Abraham to Moses to Samuel to Isaiah and eventually to Jesus Himself, those obedient to God's call say so – with this declaration. How does Jesus Himself provide insight into such a response – when in Revelation 3 He proclaims Here I Am to the church? What does it mean for each – and what can it mean when we utter this proclamation today? Receive A simple, yet profound proclamation announces availability to and for God: Here am I or Here I am! From Abraham to Moses to Samuel to Isaiah and eventually to Jesus Himself, those obedient to God's call say so with this declaration. And they get to see how God provides for their needs when they answer His call. The responses from these Bible figures can be examples of how we can respond when we feel God calling us. Instead of running or hiding from God, let's prayerfully and boldly respond to God with our own Here I am!   Reflect  What was God's purpose in this exchange with Abraham in Genesis 22:1–18?  How does God respond to Jacob's fear in Genesis 46:1–7? In Exodus 3:1–10, why did Moses respond the way he did? How did God respond to Moses?  Why was it difficult for young Samuel to recognize it was God calling him in 1 Samuel 3:1–21?  Based on Isaiah 6:1–8, how was Isaiah able to go from, “Woe to me,” to “Here am I?”  How does Jesus' “Here am I” in Revelation 3:20 influence our own “Here I am?” Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You for calling me to follow and serve You! Help me to have the courage to say, “Here I am,” whenever I hear you calling me. Help me to remember that You will help and equip me to answer Your call on my life.”  Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: Our Daily Bread subscription Listen: Answer the Call  Changing Your Life for the Call of God with Dr. Bridget Kolade  Read: Called by God  When God Calls Us Out of Comfort   Watch: Outside Your Comfort Zone | Acts 10  A Call to Something New | Matthew 4:19-22

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this September 6th episode, Hunter guides us through Ezekiel 33–35 and Revelation 12. In Ezekiel, the prophet is called to be a watchman. His responsibility is to listen for the Word of the Lord and faithfully sound the warning. But Ezekiel cannot control what others do with what they hear. His calling is faithfulness, not control. We also hear something remarkable about the heart of God. God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. His desire is that people turn from paths of destruction and live. Even in passages filled with judgment, we are invited to see the God who desires life. Then Revelation 12 pulls back the curtain on the conflict beneath the surface of history. We see the woman, the child, the dragon, Michael and his angels, and the great accuser cast down. But how is the enemy overcome? Not through greater violence. Not through domination or fear. "They have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony." Today's devotion reminds us that accusation is not the voice that gets the final word over our lives. The Lamb has overcome. In Christ, we are invited to step out from under shame and accusation and bear witness to the love that has set us free. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There is an accuser. And there is a Lamb. Revelation 12 gives us a picture of the spiritual conflict beneath the surface of the world. John sees a dragon, the ancient serpent, the one called the devil and Satan. And John gives him another name. The accuser. He is the one who accuses God's people day and night. That voice is familiar to many of us. It is the voice that tells you that you are your worst failure. It reminds you of what you did. What you should have done. What you said. What you should have said. It tells you that you are unworthy, unwanted, disqualified, and alone. Accusation has a way of reducing us to the worst thing about us. But Revelation tells us something astonishing. The accuser has been thrown down. And how is he overcome? John tells us: "They have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony." The Lamb has overcome the accuser. Jesus does not overcome through accusation of his own. He does not defeat violence by becoming more violent. He does not conquer evil by becoming evil. The Lamb conquers by giving himself away in love. The cross exposes the lie of the accuser because there we see what God actually thinks about humanity. God does not abandon us. God comes for us. God enters our violence, our shame, our sin, and our death. And he forgives. He heals. He restores. He raises the dead. This is why Ezekiel's words matter so much today. God says, "As surely as I live, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live." God desires life. That is the heart revealed in Jesus. The watchman sounds the warning because destruction is real. The paths we choose matter. Violence, pride, greed, hatred, and self-deception have consequences. But warning is not the same as condemnation. The warning is an invitation. Turn and live. Come home. Step away from the road that is destroying you. There is another way. And this is where our testimony comes in. "They have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony." Our testimony is not simply the story of everything we have done right. Quite the opposite. Our testimony is that the Lamb has loved us. The Lamb has found us. The Lamb has forgiven us. The Lamb has brought us out from underneath accusation and shame and given us a new identity. We belong to him. So when the accusing voice tells you that your failures define you, look to the Lamb. When shame tells you that you should hide, look to the Lamb. When fear tells you that God has abandoned you, look to the Lamb. When your own heart condemns you, remember the testimony you have been given. You are loved. You are forgiven. You belong. The accuser does not get the final word. Jesus does. And his word over you is life. So let us be faithful watchmen today. Not angry people shouting condemnation at the world, but people who have seen the Lamb and can bear witness to another way. Let our lives say: Turn and live. There is mercy. There is forgiveness. There is healing. There is a God who desires life for his creation. The Lamb has overcome. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

Sunday Night Bible Study at Nazareth Community Church with Pastor Mike Shoaf

Revelation 20:1–6The Thousand Years[1] Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. [2] And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, [3] and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.[4] Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. [5] The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. [6] Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years. (ESV)

At Jesus' Crucifixion and Death, the “Temple Veil” Was Torn; After Jesus Easter Resurrection, You Now Pray Directly with God MESSAGE SUMMARY:  Think about the magnitude of your direct and personal access to God that your prayers give you, through Jesus, if you will only pray. Before Jesus, ordinary people did not have direct access to God, through the Throne Room of God, with a direct personal relationship with God. In Old Testament times, people would come to the priests; and the priest would offer up a sacrifice on behalf of the people. The priests, and not the people, were communing directly with God. On Good Friday and at Jesus death on the cross, the “Temple Veil” was torn from top to bottom (i.e. “Temple Vail” was a large, very thick, and very heavy barrier that divided that portion of the Temple accessible by those wishing to sacrifice for prayer and the “Holy of Holies” where the only the High Priest could meet with God and pray on behalf of the people of God.). At Jesus Resurrection, no longer was an intermediary (e.g., a Priest) required for direct prayer with God by the people in Christ (i.e. Jesus Followers).  Because Jesus created a New Covenant relationship with His followers, now your prayers are in direct communion with God, the Creator of the Universe. Everyone, who is in Christ, may have access to the Throne Room of God in the name of Jesus. What a privilege this direct access to God is for those who are in Christ. The author of Hebrews, in Hebrews 4:16, tells Jesus Followers that, because of the Gospel, you have direct access to God's “throne of Grace” for your needs: “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM A CHILD OF GOD. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God-- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

Revelation 1:1-20   The Revelation of Jesus | Revelation Part 1: The King Speaks | Sam Holm | 9-06-26 The Book of Revelation is not primarily about the Antichrist or end-times timelines. It is an unveiling of Jesus Christ. Revelation chapter one presents three dimensions of who Jesus is: the redeeming Jesus who suffered and died for our sins, the returning Jesus who will come back in unmistakable glory, and the reigning Jesus who is actively present and sovereign right now. When John received his vision on the island of Patmos, he saw a glorified, all-powerful King walking among His people. Jesus holds the keys to death and Hades, meaning He has authority over every hard thing we face. Whatever feels out of control in your life, Jesus is still reigning over it.

Lead Pastor Alan Cullen

You're not alone if you've ever wondered whether God can actually speak to you. Or if you've been anxious because it seems like you can't hear Him.Pastor Jonathan speaks to the heart of that struggle and reminds us that sometimes the problem isn't that God's not speaking. Or even that we're not listening. But sometimes His voice is drowned out by other voices, pressures, and even well-meaning clichés. But even in that, God can speak to us.As he explains the temptation of Jesus, you'll understand why knowing, loving, and following what God has said is the best way to hear His voice amid the constant noise.Scriptures ReferencedDeuteronomy 6 & 8; Psalm 91:11-13; Matthew 4:1-11; 27:40; Luke 4:13; 12:38; John 14:26; 1 Corinthians 7:9, 10:12-14; 2 Corinthians 1:8-9; 2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12; James 1:2-4; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 22:17Key InsightsThe Holy Spirit will not lead us in opposition to the words God has breathed out for us.Real discernment starts by prioritizing Scripture over feelings or spiritual trends.Even sincere believers can miss God's voice by seeking experiences instead of engaging His Word.The enemy often tempts with half-truths, especially when we're tired, distracted, or suffering.Jesus modeled resisting lies by anchoring decisions in what God already said.Catchphrase: Christianity Culture can't give us the long-term sustenance that comes from the truth of God's Word.Key Sections00:00:00 - Welcome and AnnouncementsPastor Jonathan shares opportunities to serve in children's and tech ministry, upcoming baby dedications, baptism signups, and then transitions the community with a prayer rooted in the value of God's word.00:02:16 - Our Deep NeedIt's easy to become discouraged when it seems like God is silent. Pastor Jonathan speaks to the underlying need and the real challenge at hand.00:04:31 - Roots of DoubtWanting signs and feelings might make us feel disappointed in our faith, similar to the Pharisees during Jesus's time. Simple spiritual phrases can cover up our need for real connection with God's Word.00:07:33 - Grounded in ScriptureEven the most persistent believers get distracted or overwhelmed by life. Making time for prayer and Bible reading is the key way we tune into God's voice and clarify what's truly from Him in a world full of conflicting opinions and temptations.00:10:29 - Battling Temptation with TruthPastor Jonathan explains how the enemy distorts our desires and the Bible. He shows this through Jesus's temptation in Matthew 4. It is important to test what we hear, feel, and even what others say spiritually against the complete message of God's Word, not against culture or emotions.00:18:33 - Trusting Through TrialsChristian culture catchphrases and partial truths about God's wishes can confuse us, especially when we face pain. True peace and patience come from studying the Bible with others and seeing challenges as meaningful.00:28:08 - Satisfied in GodJesus's life and sacrifice teach us that true joy and success come from putting God first. It's not about seeking rewards without sacrifices or taking easy routes. We are called to open our hearts, especially when we feel dry, trapped, or spiritually confused.https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/discerning-his-voice-by-knowing-his-wordSubscribe & Follow the PodcastDownload our appOur WebsiteOnline Tithes & OfferingsJoin our LivestreamGathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMWednesdays, 6:00 PMContact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167615-459-3421CCLI License 2070006

In Week 5 of Return, Pastor Aaron Pennington teaches from Revelation 2:1-5 about Jesus' call to the church in Ephesus to repent and return to their first love.Sin can slowly disorient our faith, often one decision and one compromise at a time. But repentance gives us a way back. Pastor Aaron explains the biblical meaning of repentance, metanoia, as a reorientation of our lives around God.Through Matthew 4:17, John 8:34-36, 1 John 1:5-10, and Psalm 103:12, we're reminded that confession and repentance aren't about living in shame. They're about walking in the freedom Jesus has already made possible.What has caused you to drift? What have you become comfortable with that God is asking you to surrender? And what would it look like to return to Jesus as your first love?

[Actual, provable Bible Truth]We delve into a truly thought-provoking question that lies at the very heart of the Gospel: "Why should I not be baptised?" This presentation is an outstanding expositional journey through the Scriptures, revealing the divine thread of a coming Kingdom and a King who will reign in righteousness. We explore the profound promises made to Abraham and David, and see how they find their ultimate fulfilment in the Lord Jesus Christ. This is not merely history; it is the insightful blueprint of God's purpose with the earth.The narrative takes us from the prophetic blessings upon Judah, through the unwavering covenants, to the spectacular vision of Daniel. We witness the kingdoms of men, represented by the great metallic image, and the wonderful stone—cut out without hands—that will smash the old world order and establish a Kingdom that will never be destroyed. This stone is Christ, the King to whom all authority belongs. The exposition of Daniel's interpretation is simply outstanding, revealing the certain sequence of history and the glorious climax awaiting us.The presentation culminates in a powerful, scripture-filled anthem for the coming age. We witness the King on His throne in Zion, bringing peace, justice, and the knowledge of God to all nations. This is the hope that sustained the faithful for millennia and it is the reality we are called to embrace. This video is more than a study; it is a revealing call to understand our place in God's grand design and to respond to the King who is coming.**Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction: The Question of the King01:22 - The Promise to Judah: He Whose Right It Is03:19 - The Covenant with Abraham: The Promised Seed04:15 - The Royal Promise to David: An Everlasting Throne06:31 - The Hope in Babylon & Daniel's Vision08:45 - Daniel Interprets the King's Dream11:08 - The Kingdoms of Men Revealed13:08 - The Stone: Christ the King16:05 - A Symphony of Scripture: The Kingdom Established24:12 - Conclusion: The Call to Action**Bible Verse Category:**

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this September 5th episode, Hunter guides us through Ezekiel 29–32 and Revelation 11. Ezekiel speaks into a world dominated by powerful empires. Egypt appears strong and permanent, but the prophet reminds us that nations built upon violence, conquest, and human pride eventually pass away. Assyria, Egypt, Tyre, Ethiopia, and the other great powers all seemed invincible in their day. None of them were. Against this backdrop, Ezekiel repeatedly marks time according to the captivity of King Jehoiachin. His very name carries a reminder that God upholds. Even while Jehoiachin remains imprisoned and God's people live in exile, God has not forgotten them. Revelation 11 widens the horizon even further. The kingdoms that appear to rule the world do not possess the future. John hears the declaration that the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever. Today's devotion is an invitation for anyone who feels trapped in a season of waiting, loss, or captivity. The circumstances that seem permanent are not permanent. Empires fall. Seasons end. Prison doors open. But the steadfast love of God endures forever. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is steadfast. Ezekiel is marking time. Again and again, he tells us where he is in the story by measuring the years, months, and days of King Jehoiachin's captivity. Jehoiachin has been taken away to Babylon. The king is in prison. Jerusalem is broken. God's people are scattered. And Ezekiel is counting the days. Maybe you know what that feels like. Sometimes we measure our lives according to our own captivity. It has been six months since the diagnosis. Three years since the relationship ended. Five years since the loss. Ten years since the dream disappeared. We remember when life changed, and without realizing it, we begin measuring everything from that moment. Ezekiel does something like that. But there is something fascinating about the name of this captive king. Jehoiachin means something like, "The Lord will uphold." Imagine that. Every time Ezekiel marks another year of captivity, he speaks the name of a man whose very name bears witness to the steadfastness of God. The Lord will uphold. The circumstances seem to say otherwise. Babylon appears to have won. The great empires seem permanent. Egypt looks powerful. The gods of war appear to rule the world. But Ezekiel looks across history and reminds us that these empires come and go. Assyria comes and goes. Egypt comes and goes. Tyre comes and goes. Babylon itself will come and go. The kingdoms built through violence, fear, conquest, and domination eventually find their way into the grave. But God remains. He is steadfast. He upholds. And Revelation 11 gives us an extraordinary picture of where all of this is heading. John hears loud voices in heaven declaring that the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ. And he will reign forever. That is the direction of history. Not toward the endless reign of Babylon. Not toward the endless reign of Egypt. Not toward the endless reign of violence, fear, greed, or death. History is moving toward Christ. The kingdoms of this world will give way to the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ. And his kingdom is unlike the kingdoms we build. Jesus does not conquer through violence. He conquers through self-giving love. He does not climb over others to seize a throne. He empties himself. He kneels. He serves. He gives his life. This is our King. And this King is steadfast. Maybe you're going through a hard time today. Maybe you're measuring time according to the days of your captivity. If so, remember Jehoiachin. For more than thirty years he lived as a prisoner in Babylon. Thirty years is a long time to wait. But his story wasn't over. Eventually a new king came to the throne of Babylon. Jehoiachin was released from prison. His prison clothes were removed. He was given new clothes, and a permanent place was prepared for him at the king's table. What a picture of grace. The prisoner is brought out. He is clothed. He is given a seat at the table. That sounds a lot like the gospel to me. God has not forgotten you in your captivity. He is steadfast. He will uphold you. The circumstances you see today are not the whole story. The powers that frighten us are temporary. The grave is not permanent. Death does not get the final word. Christ does. So live today in the light of the steadfast God of your salvation. Trust his heart even when you cannot understand his timing. Remember that he is holding you even when you feel like you are barely holding on. His faithful love endures forever. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Send us Fan Mail⚠️ WARNING: THIS INTERVIEW NEEDS TO BE EXAMINED BIBLICALLY.In Part two of this three-part series, I begin dissecting the interview between Bryce Crawford and Luke Belmar—not through emotion, popularity, personalities, or appearances, but through the lens of Scripture.I have dissected the Luke Belmar and Bryce Crawford interview piece by piece because there is far more happening in this conversation than may be apparent on the surface.Luke Belmar talks about Jesus, being born again, sin, Scripture, the Holy Spirit, the end times, Revelation, and even says that Jesus died for our sins.But mentioning Jesus is not the same thing as proclaiming the biblical Jesus.Using Christian language is not the same thing as teaching biblical Christianity.And sounding spiritual is not the same thing as speaking truth.In this series, we are going to examine what was said, compare it directly with the Word of God, and identify where biblical terminology is being mixed with ideas involving spirituality, manifestation, energy, esoteric concepts, and other teachings that cannot simply be blended with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.We will also examine Bryce Crawford's response to these claims and ask an important question:When someone uses Christian language while presenting beliefs that conflict with Scripture, should a Christian interviewer merely listen—or should those claims be confronted with biblical truth?

It starts here, no relationship make sense unless He is the foundation. No relationship can bear fruit unless He is the producer. Let's not forget our Love that is worth pursuing the most. Be reminded of this: God knows those who love Him, and will not be ashamed to be called their God. Let us not be ashamed to be called His people, in return. This episode is for you, if you've decided to count it all lost, in Christ is again. It is also for those who felt they have fallen away and can't simply come back to the one they feel they've let down. Meditated scriptures: Mark 12:30, Romans 8:28, Revelation 2:1-4, Matthew 7:21-23. Suggested Scriptures Matthew 6, Matthew 7, John 3, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, 4 John., Philippians 1-3.

How are Christians supposed to understand the strange imagery of Revelation? Jacob Glass explains why Revelation isn’t an impossible mystery—and why the Old Testament provides the key to understanding John’s visions.

If believers are glorified when Jesus returns, how can there still be sin in the thousand-year kingdom? In this call, Dr. Brown walks you through Zechariah 14, 1 Corinthians 15, and Matthew 25, and explains why he sees survivors entering the Millennium in mortal bodies while glorified believers reign with Christ. You'll hear why he rejects a past fulfillment of Zechariah 14, how Matthew 25 differs from the great white throne in Revelation 20, and why even a world filled with God's glory can still end in rebellion. The point is not to win a debate about timing, but to live ready for the return of Jesus. Number to call is (704) 498-4680. ~~~FRONTL|NE Newsletter: https://thelineoffire.org/newsletterDonate: https://thelineoffire.org/donate-one-timeX: https://twitter.com/DrMichaelLBrownYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LFTVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmichaelbrownFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ASKDrBrownWebsite: https://thelineoffire.orgRadio Broadcast from The Line of Fire Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this September 6th episode, Hunter guides us through Ezekiel 33–35 and Revelation 12. In Ezekiel, the prophet is called to be a watchman. His responsibility is to listen for the word of the Lord and faithfully sound the warning. But Ezekiel cannot control what others do with what they hear. His calling is faithfulness, not control. We also hear something remarkable about the heart of God. God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. His desire is that people turn from paths of destruction and live. Even in passages filled with judgment, we are invited to see the God who desires life. Then Revelation 12 pulls back the curtain on the conflict beneath the surface of history. We see the woman, the child, the dragon, Michael and his angels, and the great accuser cast down. But how is the enemy overcome? Not through greater violence. Not through domination or fear. "They have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony." Today's devotion reminds us that accusation is not the voice that gets the final word over our lives. The Lamb has overcome. In Christ we are invited to step out from under shame and accusation and bear witness to the love that has set us free. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There is an accuser. And there is a Lamb. Revelation 12 gives us a picture of the spiritual conflict beneath the surface of the world. John sees a dragon, the ancient serpent, the one called the devil and Satan. And John gives him another name. The accuser. He is the one who accuses God's people day and night. That voice is familiar to many of us. It is the voice that tells you that you are your worst failure. It reminds you of what you did. What you should have done. What you said. What you should have said. It tells you that you are unworthy, unwanted, disqualified, and alone. Accusation has a way of reducing us to the worst thing about us. But Revelation tells us something astonishing. The accuser has been thrown down. And how is he overcome? John tells us: "They have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony." The Lamb has overcome the accuser. Jesus does not overcome through accusation of his own. He does not defeat violence by becoming more violent. He does not conquer evil by becoming evil. The Lamb conquers by giving himself away in love. The cross exposes the lie of the accuser because there we see what God actually thinks about humanity. God does not abandon us. God comes for us. God enters our violence, our shame, our sin, our death. And he forgives. He heals. He restores. He raises the dead. This is why Ezekiel's words matter so much today. God says, "As surely as I live, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live." God desires life. That is the heart revealed in Jesus. The watchman sounds the warning because destruction is real. The paths we choose matter. Violence, pride, greed, hatred, and self-deception have consequences. But warning is not the same as condemnation. The warning is an invitation. Turn and live. Come home. Step away from the road that is destroying you. There is another way. And this is where our testimony comes in. "They have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony." Our testimony is not simply the story of everything we have done right. Quite the opposite. Our testimony is that the Lamb has loved us. The Lamb has found us. The Lamb has forgiven us. The Lamb has brought us out from underneath accusation and shame and given us a new identity. We belong to him. So when the accusing voice tells you that your failures define you, look to the Lamb. When shame tells you that you should hide, look to the Lamb. When fear tells you that God has abandoned you, look to the Lamb. When your own heart condemns you, remember the testimony you have been given. You are loved. You are forgiven. You belong. The accuser does not get the final word. Jesus does. And his word over you is life. So let us be faithful watchmen today. Not angry people shouting condemnation at the world, but people who have seen the Lamb and can bear witness to another way. Let our lives say: Turn and live. There is mercy. There is forgiveness. There is healing. There is a God who desires life for his creation. The Lamb has overcome. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Ted Flynn, Marian apparitions expert and author of Secrets of the Book of Revelation Revealed, joins John-Henry Westen to argue that the Book of Revelation is unfolding before our eyes. Drawing on decades of research into Marian prophecy, Scripture, mystics, and the end times, Flynn connects Fatima, Garabandal, the Marian Movement of Priests, and Fr. Stefano Gobbi's messages to the present crisis in the Church and world. Humanity, he insists, cannot repair this collapse by its own efforts, divine intervention is coming.Flynn turns to artificial intelligence, surveillance, digital identity, and the infrastructure being built by technological elites, including Palantir, Peter Thiel, massive data centers, and wealthy figures preparing bunkers for catastrophic scenarios. He argues these developments resemble the conditions described in Revelation, where people could be prevented from buying or selling. Marian warnings about the Antichrist, Freemasonry, and the "appointed time" for the unveiling of Revelation are being fulfilled before our eyes.Despite the warnings, Flynn's message is ultimately one of hope: Our Lady triumphs in the end. The infrastructure is being laid. The signs are everywhere. But the triumph is certain. The question is whether the faithful will recognize the battle before it is too late. The Book of Revelation is not a distant prophecy, it is present reality. And the time to prepare is now.Buy Ted Flynn's new book here: https://sign.org/product/the-secrets-of-the-book-of-revelation-revealed/Make the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/ HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

What if the battlefield you've been dreading is actually the Holy Spirit's playground — the place where He gets to remind you of who you are? Graham opens with a line worth framing: "Never make allowances for losing, because you'll lose" — and never think below the level of your privilege in Christ. Discover why we interpret our circumstances through the word of God rather than the "doomsday merchants" of the news cycle, why the end times is about Jesus and not the devil, and why Graham calls Revelation "the best devotional book ever." He unpacks the miracle of being born again — a completely new identity to "take for a spin" — and lands on the levels of strength, courage, power, and anointing that make us warriors, champions, and game changers who love the conflict, because you get to see a side of Jesus on the battlefield that you don't see in peacetime.Key Scriptures:- Romans 13:12. "The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light."- 2 Corinthians 2:14. "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place."- Romans 8:37. "But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us."- Colossians 2:15. "When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him."- 1 John 5:4-5. "For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?"Want to explore more?
