Podcasts about Righteousness

In this Bible Story, God boasts of the righteousness of Job. He walked blameless before God and his family as his character would soon be tested to prove to all mankind that it is possible to persevere despite gargantuan loss. This story is inspired by Job. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Job 1:20 from the King James Version.Episode 57: There once was a man named Job who lived in the land of Uz. Job feared God and was very well off. He had a wife, a large family, many animals, and an abundance of wealth. But in a moment he lost it all, as Satan was given permission to test his faithfulness to God by taking away everything. Yet even in his grief Job did something we can all learn from, he clung to God and poured out his tears to Him.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

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 March 17th, 2026 episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where Hunter, your Bible reading coach and faithful companion, guides us through another transformative day in God's Word. In this episode, we journey with the people of Israel as they reach the edge of the Promised Land, reading from Deuteronomy 32–34 and 1 Corinthians 2. As we listen, Hunter beautifully unpacks the significance of Moses viewing the Promised Land from afar and reflects on Joshua as a powerful symbol of faith and the grace that leads us into God's promises. The episode draws out the wisdom of God made known not through human achievement or the law, but through the Spirit and the work of Christ. Amidst prayer and moments of reflection, Hunter encourages us to trust deeply in God's goodness, enjoy the simple gifts of life—like the changing seasons—and remember that, no matter our circumstances, we are profoundly loved. So take a breath, savor the beauty around you, and join us on this spiritual walk as we open the Scriptures together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: A mountain-top view of grace. Moses is on the mountain. He did not make it into the Promised Land, at least not yet. He was a man of the law, and it is not by the law that we enter into the promise. But Joshua does. He enters. He represents the way of faith. Righteousness is by grace through faith, and Joshua is a picture of that. He is a picture of Christ. Even his name reflects this: Yeshua, Jesus. Our Yeshua leads us into the Promised Land. He leads us into life and the promise of God. It doesn't come through the Law. It comes through Him, through the cross. It comes through His life given for you, for me, for the whole world. Paul calls this the wisdom of God. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus' work on the cross. That is God's wisdom. It is not tradition, ethnicity. It is not political affiliation or our own personal piety. It is only by God's Spirit. It is God's work. And we get to live in it. We get to say, "Thank you," and walk into the land that has been won for us by him. Moses goes up the mountain, takes a good look around, he sees the land, but he won't enter it, at least not yet. Then we're told that he heads out into the desert, and there he dies and is buried in some unmarked grave. But don't feel too bad for Moses. God knew where he was buried. God was with him. God never abandoned him. God doesn't do that. In fact, we see him again in the Gospels. We see him standing with Elijah and the Lord up on the Mount of Transfiguration. No longer is he looking from a distance on Mount Pisgah. Now he's standing on a whole new mountain. His feet have touched down in the land. He's made it across the Jordan. He's standing in the promise. He's face to face with the promise himself, looking into the eyes of Jesus. Jesus has worked all things out for Moses. That's what Jesus does. And that's true not just for Moses, but it's true for you too. God is working out his purposes in your life. Even when it seems like you've failed and there's no recovering, he will not forget about you. He knows where you are. He has not abandoned you, and he will not leave you out in some desert wasteland in an unmarked grave. No, he will be faithful to complete the good work that he began in you, and you, like Moses, will see Jesus face to face. Philippians 1:6 says, I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. Trust in the wisdom of God seen in the face of Christ. Rest easy in the work of Christ accomplished for you. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that 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  

Believers have been made right with God. He sees us as righteous not because of anything good we have done, but because of what Jesus did and our faith in that. Our right-standing with God is the result of being born again; at that point, He immediately saw us as holy, perfect, and redeemed. This stance in Christ is permanent and independent of our behavior, which reflects our continually transforming state on our Christian journey. Understanding what He is trying to teach us equips us to bring the Word of grace to a guilt-ridden, sin-conscious world.

Matthew 5:6 -Lawson Harlow

Through the Spirit and the finished work of Christ, believers can know the things God has already freely given and pray with confidence where His will is clearly revealed. In areas where Scripture has not specified the details—such as personal plans, timing, or direction—we humbly seek His guidance, trusting His grace and leadership along the way.

Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness_Stephen Murray_03.15.26 by Covenant Presbyterian

In our series on holiness, we continue to wrestle with the temptation to believe that we can become holy by simply trying harder. We are indeed commanded, "be holy, for I Am holy." But we often confuse terms like "righteousness", "holiness", and "sanctification" What's the difference? The importance of understanding this goes beyond proper terminology; it is practical, and it is life changing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brit Vargas /// "Adopted" /// 3-14-26

In this powerful message from Dwelling House Church, Pastor Jeremiah Genin continues the Names of God series by exploring the meaning of “The Lord Our Righteousness” (Jehovah Tsidkenu). Through passages like Jeremiah 23:5–6, 2 Corinthians 5:21, and the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery, this sermon reveals the heart of the Gospel: that righteousness before God is not something we earn through our performance, but something Jesus accomplished for us through His death and resurrection. Pastor Jeremiah explains how God promised a righteous King who would come to save His people—and how that promise was fulfilled in Jesus Christ. On the cross, Jesus took our sin and gave us His righteousness, making a way for us to have access to God, freedom from condemnation, and a new identity in Him. If you have ever wondered whether you truly measure up before God, or struggled with guilt, shame, or feeling disqualified, this message will encourage you with the truth of what Jesus has already done for you. At Dwelling House Church, we believe the Bible reveals who God truly is and invites us into a living relationship with Him through Jesus. Our prayer is that this message helps you see the goodness, mercy, and saving power of Christ more clearly. Questions This Sermon Answers 1. What does the name “The Lord Our Righteousness” mean in the Bible? 2. How does Jesus make us righteous before God even when we fall short? 3. Why does the cross remove condemnation and give believers access to God?

In our exploration of Matthew's Sermon on the Mount, we encounter a challenging truth: knowing Scripture and living it are vastly different things. The passage challenges us to move beyond religious performance toward genuine heart transformation. We're confronted with the reality that our relationships are the proving ground of our faith. Every conflict, every difficult conversation, every moment of judgment reveals whether we truly understand the greater righteousness Jesus calls us to. The central question becomes: How do we navigate the messy complexity of human relationships while maintaining Kingdom values? Jesus points us to prayer as the essential fuel for this journey. Not ritualistic prayer, but persistent, childlike asking, seeking, and knocking. The beautiful imagery of a good father who delights in giving good gifts to his children reshapes our understanding of God. He's not waiting to punish us, but eager to provide wisdom when we lack it. This wisdom isn't mere information but the discernment to know when to speak and when to remain silent, when to confront and when to extend grace. The Golden Rule emerges not as a simple platitude but as a radical way of life that requires us to put ourselves in others' shoes, to desire for them what we would want for ourselves. This narrow path demands we break allegiance with our idols of success, tribalism, and self-protection, choosing instead the counterintuitive way of open-handed generosity toward all.

Outward appearance of righteousness can mask deep spiritual corruption, leading to the glory of God leaving the defiled temple. One does not need to be clean or righteous before coming to Jesus; humility is the prerequisite for transformation. Remaining a 'poser' who relies on self-righteousness allows God to let you be your own God, whereas turning from that path allows Him to bring spiritual cleansing.

We all seek to live a righteous life without becoming self-righteous. Where do we start? First, we start with living a more righteous life in relation to OURSELVES. Second, is righteousness in relation to the church. And, third, in relation to society. After the first two arenas of living a more righteous life, the Apostle Paul speaks to living more RIGHTEOUS in culture.

Daily Dose of Hope March 11, 2026   Scripture: Romans 5   Prayer:   Holy God, How amazing it is that we can come before you today.  You are God of all things, Lord of everything, and yet you care about each of us.  We give you glory and praise.  We thank you most of all for Jesus, who made it possible for us to walk hand in hand with a holy God.  Help us see today's Scripture through fresh eyes.  Keep teaching us, Lord.  Continue to reveal yourself to us.  We are open and grateful.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently working our way through Paul's letters chronologically.  We are now in our sixth pastoral letter, the book of Romans.   Today's reading is Romans 5.  In this chapter, Paul explores the origin of sin in a unique way.  He speaks of Adam, through which sin entered the world.  If you are familiar with the study of the spread of disease (called epidemiology), then you have probably heard of patient zero.  Patient zero is the first person who brings a specific disease into an area.  To find this person, the epidemiologists trace the outbreak through all sorts of people, interviewing, contact tracing, digging, and digging some more to find out where the disease began.   Adam was patient zero for sin.  It was through Adam that sin came into play.  After that, all humans were "infected" with sin.  There was no way not to be infected. The world was no longer a lovely, perfect place like the Garden of Eden.  The world was now broken, filled with hardship, disease, and death.    But if Adam brought us sin and death, Jesus brings us life.  Jesus died for us while we were still sinners.  Through Jesus, we can be reconciled to a holy God.  We can do life, walking hand in hand with God–no walls, no barriers, and no shame.  Jesus has removed anything preventing us from accessing God.  You see, when he died on the cross, the blood of Jesus atoned for the sins of all humanity for all time.  He cleansed us from sin and gave us his righteousness.   What is righteousness?  That's a word that Paul uses an awful lot.  Righteousness is the quality of being morally right, virtuous, and just.  Jesus is totally righteous and we aren't!  But through the cross, in the act of cleansing us from sin, Jesus imputed (gave) his righteousness to us.  We are made righteous by Jesus.  Now, God doesn't see our messed up, broken lives–he sees that which Jesus has freely gifted us.  In Jesus, we are saved and made righteous.  And as Jesus continues to work within us, let's hope that the righteousness of Jesus really takes root in a different way.  As we seek to grow closer to Jesus, may the righteousness, the virtuousness, the justice, and the love of Christ grow within us and make us better reflections of him.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki                

Pastor Bryan discusses several faithful choices Abram made in Genesis 13-14. A big idea of his sermon is that "every decision you make reveals your allegiance." That is, our decisions show which king we're aligned with. We should be aligned to the right King, Jesus! The King of Peace and Righteousness. Like Abram, lets renounce "Sodom" and receive "Salem." -Featuring Bryan Ost

Saved From Judgments (1) (audio) David Eells – 3/11/26 I'm going to share some older prophecies with you about the judgments God is sending on the rebellious apostates. We often receive scriptures in our morning prayer meetings of these warnings.   Judgments on America and Its Ministries Shirley Hinkle - 11/07/2007 (David's notes in red) Thank you for your website. It has been a wealth of insight and revelation into the Word of God for me and my friends with whom I share your site. I have never shared these or other dreams that I have had in the past with any website/ministry, but only with five close friends. One of the prayer warriors in our church, whom I shared the dreams with this last week, said, “You must send it to Brother David Eells. You see, I was in prayer Sunday morning and God spoke to my heart and said, “Remember the dreams of the five judgments? IT'S NOW! It's not only the false, sinful church leadership that is under judgment, but judgment on this nation, America, that you are seeing fulfilled.” (In the dreams below God used individuals to represent this apostate leadership. These judgments on them will also judge America. This is judgment is on the secular and religious harlot. Update 3/11/26 - God is now raising up new leadership with power.) Because of the nature of the dreams, I took out the name of the pastor and the people associated with the church where we went for five years. (Shirley is typed as a prophetess and the true church in some of these dreams.) Dream - First of 5 Judgments - 07/03/2005 I dreamed that our former pastor walked into the room where a group of us were standing. I wondered to myself, what is he doing here? I thought, maybe we are to pray for him, so I walked over to him and laid my hand on his head. I said to him, “You are full of lust and pornography”. (I once saw the statistics of how many ministers were into this, and I was shocked.) As I said these words, his head turned to mush under my hand (a mind corrupted by sin). I pulled my hand back, revolted, and turned to walk away, and as I did, he leered and sneered at me. I started to wake up and that is when I saw he was a shell of a man full of demonic spirits. (This represents a generation of apostates, meaning back-slidden, ministers as in the rest of the dreams.) God spoke into my heart and said, “Romans chapters 1 & 3. As he stole from My people, I am taking his mind from him; He is given over to those spirits. (Update 3/11/26 – This has been happening) This is the first of 5 judgments I have shown you”. Dream - Judgment # 2 of 5 - 07/11/2005 All of these people were in booths at a restaurant (Churches where spiritual food, as in the Word, is supposed to be fed). I walked in and it was the congregation of a former church. I began to go from table to table under the anointing and exposing all of the lies of the teachings and sins in the lives of the people. Some people looked at me like, “What are you doing?” They had no comprehension at all. Others said, “Yes, we see it,” and then others were getting very mad, angry at me for telling and exposing all the lies. I looked behind me, and there were 3 of the prayer warriors who had left the church at the same time, as one person, and they were represented as who they are in real life. I raised my right arm to heaven and began to pray in the spirit with a loud voice and with authority. Then, as I was walking out, I turned to the people and said, “The associate pastor was never supposed to leave his wife for the other woman. He played the harlot. He sold his body to prostitution. HE LEFT HER!” (Another common problem among apostate pastors.) Then the next scene in my dream, my husband and I are walking down a hallway away from the restaurant (I.e. away from their teachings). We could hear the former pastor from the other side yelling. We knew he was mad at me for exposing him. He was yelling really loud as he came around the corner, but the weird thing was, he was walking on his knees. His legs were twisted up behind him, and he was being led by his head usher. (I.e. Spiritually crippled and unable to walk with the Lord.) For a split second, I felt pity for this man who was all disfigured, and then I saw his face as he was yelling. My husband and I just stood there quietly watching at first. This pastor was so mad and yelling so loudly. His hair was all matted and snarled, with his face all contorted. Then all of a sudden I looked at him and said, “Everything you have stolen from My people (which is their walk with the Lord), I have taken from you. Judgment has come to your house”. I then brought my right hand down like a gavel was in it. This pastor was nothing but blackness and darkness. This was judgment # 2 of 5 that God had shown me. Dream - Judgment 3 & 4 of 5 - 08/08/2005 I dreamed last night of a lady (the true church) in a church with a lot of people she knew. Some of them walked up to her and asked if she would like to go on a road trip with them; she said yes and got in the car. As the others were getting in, they were snickering and laughing behind her back (mocking her). When they got down the road, they took out a needle and injected it into the woman (filled her with false doctrine) to alter her mind. They took her to a house (apostate church) and it was full of children (of God). The woman was then tormented in many ways. She kept trying to hide the children in different parts of the house so that they would not be harmed. (Trying to save them from the false doctrine) She knew that the ultimate goal of these people was to kill her and the children (spiritually) after they had their fun and sport with her. A man walked into the house. The woman went up to him and said, “We have to save the children. These people are going to kill us”. He just started laughing at her. It was then that she knew he was one of them. She then hid the children in different parts of the house again. Now, instead of me seeing this lady, I am her (the true church), and I am walking down a hallway. I come to an elderly woman (the apostate church showing signs of years under the curse) and I say to her with a loud voice, “The Lord says unto you, you are now forever separated from the presence of God; you will no longer experience the presence of God”. My right hand came down like a gavel, and I said, “This is the Judgment of God on you”. (Update 3/11/26 – These churches are dead now)  She turned from me and walked away; then turned to come back, and I saw it was the pastor's sister-in-law. She was like a mad woman, all crazy. I turned and walked away from her, and as I did, I said, “Lord, what was that all about?” He spoke to me and said, “That is the Church that holds the Truth in unrighteousness (truth they refuse to walk in) and turns my grace into lasciviousness (which is a license to sin).” As I am walking away, I come to a young lady who is not one of the children because they are hidden in different parts of the house. I say to her, “The Lord says unto you, I will never again look upon you with favor or content. You will toil and labor hard all the rest of your days (the curse in Gen.3:19). This is the judgment unto you”. My right hand then came down like a gavel. As the girl turned to walk away from me, I saw it was a teenager in the congregation, the daughter of the church secretary. As I was waking up from this dream, the Lord spoke into my heart, “This is the judgment #3 & 4 of the 5 that I showed you”. I asked the Lord, “What did the teenager represent?” and He quickly answered, “Rebellion; the rebellious ones”. The lady in the beginning is the true church, and the enemy is trying to steal the mind of God's people, by altering their thinking and doping them with falsehoods. (that please the flesh) They are laughing and mocking the True Church of the Living God. The children represent the innocent that God has hidden under his wings, till the storm passes by. (God has hidden some innocents in the apostate church, which He will deliver. Isa 26:20  Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. ) Dream - Judgment # 5 of 5 - 09/30/2005 I dreamt last night that we were at our former church. They were having a camp meeting. I was volunteering in the kitchen (where the spiritual food of teaching is prepared), and the pastor's wife (representing the apostate church) walked up to me and said that someone was very mad at me for being here. She said, “You are not supposed to be here”. I said that all I was trying to do was to help. She never said to stay or even tried to defend me. As I was sitting there, a woman walked up to the pastor's wife (the apostate church) and said to her... “It's beginning to rain, You are a flower that will die, Where your petals fall, There they will lie”. (great falling away) My friends who were standing with me started weeping, went over and hugged her goodbye; I stayed, watching and weeping. I tried to warn, to explain, but there was nothing to say. The pastor's wife looked at me with sadness and a knowing. I said to her, “All I know is that I love God with all of my heart, and I know you do too”. She then began to weep. (The church who loves God in their born-again spirit but does not love Him enough to obey so that their soul is born again will die. Rom.8:13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Joh.14:15 If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments. 1Pe.1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: 23 having been begotten [born] again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. 24 For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth: 25 But the word of the Lord abideth for ever. As was said in the prophetic poem, the flower, a symbol of all that is beautiful about the flesh, will fall. What people think is beautiful about their fleshly religion will die.) As we were leaving and driving away from the Church, it began to rain, on both sides of the road, the flowers were dead and the animals too. I looked at my husband and started weeping so hard (The grace of life will be taken away from the apostate church in their idolatry with the flesh.). He said to me, “My brother (representing the apostate church) is dying, so it must still be before February”. I said, “I know”. (My husband's brother had died the year before, in February from bladder cancer.) This is Judgment #5. The first 5 judgment dreams on apostate ministries are coming to pass now. As the Lord said, “IT'S NOW!” This was said in 2005. The apostate ministries are losing their minds and walking as cripples more every day because this is what they have done to God's people. Since history or “His-story” always repeats, very soon this will be spoken of them as it was of their forefathers: Mat.13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them. (As in Jesus' day, these same ones will persecute the true church of the “called out ones”.) Here are a few more dreams Shirley sent us: Dream - 10/20/2007 - Baby Boy - First Tribulation Judgment I walked into a church filled with people. I recognized people from our former church, all standing around talking and carrying on with their programs. As I walked down the hall, I saw a small baby boy in the trash. I picked him up and said, “You don't belong here in the trash”. (This shows the apostate church's disregard for the fruit of Christ revealed in the man-child body in their midst. It also represents their hatred for the first-fruits Man-child ministry [Rev.12:5,6] that is to lead this church into that fruit, just as their forefathers did in Jesus' day.) As I was taking him out of the trash, the pastor's wife was there and was so mad at me. She said to me, “You think you are going to get away with this? You are going to pay!” (They hate those who value the fruit of Christ just as they did in the Book of Acts. Those who come out from among them will take the fruit of Christ with them.) I took him outside the church and walked over to my husband to show him the baby. The baby was playing and cooing in my arms. I was so upset that he had been thrown away like that, discarded in the trash. As I was playing with the baby and taking care of him and loving on him, my husband said, “You have to take him back”. I said it wasn't right that they put him in the trash, but my husband said, “He has to go back”. (Those who love the fruit will see Him in their lives. Like the Shulamite bride in Song of Solomon, they will take Him back to their mother church.) SoS.3:3 The watchmen that go about the city found me; [To whom I said], Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? 4 It was but a little that I passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother's house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me. As I was walking back to the church, I had to cross a street; the cars were flying past me on both sides. I was in the middle of the intersection and was almost getting run over by each car that passed (those on the broad road will not appreciate the greatness in their midst). I held the baby close and kept trying to get across. As I walked back into the church to take the baby back, I was so sad. Nobody saw me or acknowledged that the baby had been returned and saved from the trash. They continued with their programs they were all doing. (The return of the man-child or His fruit in the bride's heart will not be appreciated by most when He returns to give a witness to them as Jesus did. This will be the first judgment of the tribulation in Revelation 6:1,2 -- the White Horse Rider, which brings all of the other riders upon the earth. This will be as when Moses came to set Israel free from bondage to the Egyptians. He brought all the judgments to accomplish this.) Josh and the baby boy represent both the fruit of Christ in their midst that they have rejected and the first-fruits Man-child ministry who is to lead them through the wilderness tribulation. As the Lord said, this is a “judgment on this nation, America,” for the apostate church has not represented Christ to them in being the salt needed to preserve them. This false church is leading America to destruction. Dream - 09/28/2007 - America's Judgment I walked into a large convention center full of young people. They were in groups all over the building. Some were standing and talking, others were bowed in groups in prayer. God spoke to my heart and said that His Holy Spirit is searching the heart of America. His Holy Spirit is going throughout this nation searching out those who are seeking His face in this time of turmoil. Searching this generation, for it is the last generation... And it shall not pass until we see the fulfillment of His Word. As I walked among them, I could hear them talking to each other and saying, “What do you think? Who will you vote for?” and others were giving their opinion on the matters of our world. God then spoke to me and said they are going by human reasoning; they are not looking to Me, the Author and Finisher of their Faith; they are searching out man's ways and not My ways. As I was walking among them, Hillary Clinton walked into the building and started walking among them also. God spoke into my heart and said, “This is Romans 1 being fulfilled in your sight. This is the first judgment coming into being on this nation in its FULLNESS. This nation is being given over.” God showed me that Clinton also was getting a feel of where they stood and what they were thinking and talking about. That we as a people in this nation are being marked, and we will be known for what we stand for in these final days. The ones who are weeping and mourning, standing in Truth and Righteousness, will be separated and marked as in Ezekiel 9. I then walked up to her and said, “You will be put in office, but it will bring this country down.”  I knew that she represented in the spirit this nation's final apostasy against God in its fullness. (This was a warning! Although she served herself in many offices, including first political lady [ Link! ], the highest office was denied her because of urgent prayers for mercy.)   Abandonment of a previous loyalty, the woman, this nation leaving her natural affection for God, her family, her children, given over to her lusts and vile affections. I then said, “This is our judgment!” I said this very loudly and pleading, knowing we are in judgment... I then said, “Tell America to REPENT!” But she just looked past me like I wasn't there and hadn't said anything to her. She walked away with a smirk on her face. God spoke into my heart and said, “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them”. (Rom.1:32) Dream - 10/01/2007 - Blow the Trumpet, Sound the Alarm, Our Judgment Has Come. My husband and I were standing by the riverbank; it was flowing over the top like a waterfall, so pretty. I knew that it was America in her false sense of security and prosperity -- everything flowing along so smoothly. I said with a loud voice, “It is getting ready to overflow (the U.S. leaving her God-given natural boundaries) like never before and bring destruction. It will destroy everything. (In Jeremiah 25, Babylon, which is called the great eagle [U.S.] in Ezekiel 17, brought the cup of wrath to all nations and then they brought it to her. “When the enemy comes in like a flood”. After the Man-child is anointed in Rev 6:2 comes World War. Rev.6:4 And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.) Everything that the people have put their trust in, in one moment it is going to be completely swept away before their eyes. God said, “Blow the trumpet in Zion. Sound the alarm!” I turned to my right and said, “Blow the trumpet”. My husband then picked up a trumpet and put it to his mouth, and started to blow. God is asking the men of God to once again put the trumpet to their mouths and blow, sound the alarm, proclaim the Truth. To warn the people to get their eyes off of this world and all that it holds, for it (that is, peace, security and prosperity) is all getting ready to be taken from them. God then said again, “Warn the people, it will destroy everything. Blow the trumpet!” Again, I turned to my right and said, “Blow the trumpet, warn the people”. My husband continued to blow the trumpet. God spoke to my heart and said, “Don't stop warning, don't stop telling, don't stop!” People were walking around like nothing was going to happen. Some were getting very angry with me for yelling in a loud voice. I recognized some of the people. My husband continued to blow the trumpet. Again, God spoke to my heart, “Even if the people whom you know don't like it and get angry with you, you must never stop blowing the trumpet! You must always proclaim Truth, no matter what happens”. I then knew that this was the fulfillment of the judgment that God had told me... He spoke to me and said, “A nation that forgets God is given over and this is the judgment... Deuteronomy 28 (which is the curse on the rebellious)... Your houses, your land, your children, your possessions, your freedom, your very lives will be taken from you in judgment.”   Flood of Judgment G.C.- 04/16/2008 (David's notes in red) I had one of the most vivid and real dreams in recent memory. In this dream, I was told by God that a great flood would destroy the world. He told me this before it even happened. As the days went by, after I had received His message, water started covering the Earth. The source of the water did not seem to be rainwater but came from the ground. (I recall that in the flood account of Noah, some of the water came from the fountains of the deep and this is what was happening in my dream.) It seemed like for weeks the water covered the world and after each passing day, the people had to abandon homes and buildings and move toward higher ground. I was just in awe of what was happening and tried my best to warn the people that this was God's judgment and that they needed to repent to be saved. I recall that I was never scared or frightened because of the fact that I had been warned before this started to happen, which gave me comfort. I spent the last days pleading with people about repentance but very few took heed. The last thing I remember is that I was at one of the highest points of land, and the water kept rising. I woke up before I could find out the outcome of the dream. I know that another great flood will not occur, but I do feel this was symbolic. Spiritually, a flood of judgment will cover the earth; it will come out of the earth from hell. The demons will administer the legal curse of the waters of the Word on the unrepentant. In the natural, we have seen mass flooding, fires, hurricanes, and large earthquakes all around the world, some man made, and the Tribulation hasn't even arrived.   Refuge from Judgment Sister R. from CA - 11/15/2010 (David's notes in red) I was outside (I am not sure of the place). I looked up at the heavens and noticed that suddenly the clouds turned dark. They were storm clouds. (Observing coming bad events from heaven, judgments, tribulations, and trials are near, and we can see them coming.) Then one opened up and the water gushed out, as if someone had poured a bucket of water out of it. (Sudden destructions from heaven whether through man or nature.) Then suddenly, the clouds of this water turned into this huge tidal wave. (Huge destructive events from heaven.) I realized that I could not outrun it. So, I ran into this building (I believe it was a hotel). (By our own strength we cannot escape. The hotel is the house of God. As with a hotel, we are individual buildings that are “builded together” to make up one building, His house [Ephesians 2:19-22]. Symbolizing revival. Many people find their way into the Kingdom as a refuge, an ark, from the wave, which represents the judgment on this world. 1Co.4:11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place.) I was with a group of people and we all went to the upper floors of the building. (A spiritual place of safety in heavenly places in Christ. Psa.94:22 But the LORD hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.) The water came into the building, and we had to go to higher floors for safety. (Waters of judgment will drive God's people higher in the refuge of Christ as Psalm 91 shows.) At one point, the water flooded onto the same floor where I was with this group of people. (We will see and share the experiences and overcome through faith.) I thought I was going to die, but I had peace because I knew that I was going to be with the Lord. (Trusting the Lord with life and death. Job 13:15 Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.) But the floor we were on (the side of this building where we were) had an elevator and a place where we could reach safety. (The elevator is the rest. You don't have to attempt to save yourselves by your own works; just get closer to God by grace through faith in Him.) When the floods came into this floor, not only could I see this elevator, but there was higher ground on this floor where we could step up to reach safety. (Praise the Lord! He provides a place of refuge every step of the way as in Psa.91.) We had working cell phones and light in the hotel. One person, I don't know who, received a phone call. (We have the ability to pray and abide in the Light of the Scriptures. “Working” cell phones mean effective communication with each other and the Lord.) I thought it was strange that we always had light because normally, if that situation had really happened, the electricity would go out. (There was light in Goshen when the rest of Egypt had none. The Lord will not withdraw His light or power in judgment situations. Do not fear, no matter what form it takes. The Lord will give great assurance.) During the entire dream, I had peace.   Impending Judgment on America From a prophet friend in East Florida: (I do not doubt that some of these judgments below will be lessened or done away with.) Vision 1: The Lord took me to the streets of America, and I saw the cities on fire. We have many millions of Muslims in America, and when the war breaks out in the Holy Land, and when America gets involved, they will burn America to the ground. I saw Muslim women coming into America and in their inner body parts, vials of anthrax and bio chemicals. I saw 180 million Americans die in a 72-hour period, then I saw New York, Florida, Nevada, Texas, and California nuked; we will be invaded. Russia and China will do it. (From other dreams I believe this will be close to the end of the tribulation. From famous visions and dreams, such as Washington's, Dumitru Duduman's, A.A. Allens, on our site, we know the righteous will overcome and have victory.) Vision 2: The Lord took me in the spirit to outer space, and I saw very dim stars. Then the lights came on, and I saw a huge asteroid, brown in color coming to planet earth, the asteroid turning over and over like tumbling. Vision 3: The Lord took me in the spirit, and I drove down the east coast of Florida and up the west coast, and when I was in Orlando, Florida - the Lord cut Florida in half, and I said, “Lord, have mercy.” and He said, “No more mercy.” And the second time I said, “Lord, have mercy.” He said, “No more mercy.” I asked the Lord why He is doing this, and He said, “Death of the innocents”. I saw from Kissimmee, Florida, to Miami underwater, then the Lord showed me portable buildings stacked like a train, all connected together. The buildings were full of people with legs and arms missing. I ran into the buildings, and there was no end to the buildings. Vision 4: I saw an asteroid race right by Florida and go north; what a horrible sound, and it hit us. Then I saw helicopters with men carrying guns, and when they came to me, I disappeared. Later, I was somewhere else, and I put out my hand, and an apple was there and I ate it. The Lord will take care of his true servants, don't worry. Vision 5: I was in a red suit and riding in a red car, and something was holding me from passing and going to the sea. (Covered in the red blood we are protected from the peoples, tribes, nations, and tongues.) Then they moved away, and I got to the sea; I dropped my cell phone, and I went into the sea and entered a building that was very strong and safe. (Spiritual Mount Zion is a place of safety in the midst of tribulation.) Interpretation: I have a great call on my life, Isaiah 63, 64, and 65. Red is the blood of Christ and power; the seas are the people for the harvest. The building is Christ and the cell phone is a connection to this world. We are to be led by the spirit and hearing God's voice and not be sold out to the world. God's Kingdom is not of this world. I died 17 years ago when I received the Holy Ghost and I'm a new creation in Christ Jesus. We must all go that way and we will do exploits for the end time harvest. Jesus said we will do greater things than He because He will send the Holy Ghost - Mark 16:17. Be one of them and give God all the glory. So, with all these judgments the Lord is bringing, we can have complete peace, rest, protection, and His provision as we believe and confess the Gospel.   The Real, Free Gospel David Eells God cannot fail, but we can hinder His works with our own. Jesus told his disciples, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees (Mat.16:6). They understood this to mean their teaching (verse 12). Their teaching that was so dangerous was salvation by self-works (Gal.2:16; 5:1-6). In explaining this in Mat.16:9,10 Jesus said, “Do you not perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets (12) you took up? Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets (7) you took up?” Notice that the more loaves they provided of their own supply, the fewer were fed, and there were less baskets of leftovers. Jesus' obvious point was that the more you work, the less God works. Salvation in any form is by grace, which is unmerited or unearned. “For by grace have ye been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, that no man should glory”. (Epe.2:8-9). The word “saved” here is translated from the Greek word “sozo” and is used in Luk.7:50 for the saving of the soul. In Luk.8:48, it is translated “made thee whole” for healing of the body. In Luk.8:36, it is translated “made whole” for deliverance from demons. In Mat.8:25, it is translated “save” for protection from danger. You see, “saved” covers every curse, and it is not of our works. Jesus “became a curse for us” so that we might have “the blessing of Abraham” (Gal.3:13,14). The all-inclusive curse in Deu.28 was put upon him. I remind you that Epe.2:8 says in the original Greek: “by grace have ye been saved”, meaning it happened at the cross. The wilderness is a completely safe and secure place for the “believer” because everything has already been provided there. Our faith in the promises is the very substance that the desired need is made from. (Heb.11:1) Now faith is assurance (or substance) of [things] hoped for, a conviction of things not seen. The reason Jesus said, “All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive (Greek: “received”) them, and ye shall have them” (Mar.11:24), is because all of our provision was accomplished at the cross. Notice in the following verses that all things have been received and that the only thing left is for us to believe it. Also notice the past tense of our sacrificial provision in the following verses: (Epe.2:8) for by grace have ye been saved through faith; (1Pe.2:24) who his own self bare our sins in his body ... by whose stripes we were healed; (Col.1:13) who delivered us out of the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; (2Co.5:18) ... who reconciled us to himself; (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ, and it's no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me; (Gal. 3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse; (1Pe.1:3) ... the Father ... begat us again ... by the resurrection of Jesus Christ; (Heb.10:10) We ... have been sanctified ...; (14) He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified; (Epe.1:3) ... who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing, and God in (2Pe.1:3) hath granted unto us all things. Jesus told us in His day which, of course was accomplished in the past that “Now shall the prince of this world be cast out” (Joh.12:31); “but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (Joh.16:33); “It is finished” (Joh.19:30). This is why we are to believe we have received. The devil and the curse were conquered. We were saved, healed, delivered, and provided for. That is why Paul said, “my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Phl.4:19). Redemption from the curse and provision for life are truly accomplished at the cross! In fact, God's “works were finished from the foundation of the world” (Heb.4:3), when He spoke the plan into existence. The only thing left is for the true sons of God to enter into those works by faith, believing they have received. Since the works are finished, we should believe and rest from our own works to save, heal, provide, and deliver ourselves. This is rest in the wilderness on the grounds of God's promises. (Heb.4:3) For we who have believed do enter into that rest. That is a spiritual Sabbath rest. (Heb.4:9) There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest (Greek: sabbatismos, “keeping of rest”) for the people of God. This constant “keeping of rest” every day through the past tense promises is our New Testament spiritual Sabbath. (10) For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. This rest is to believe these past tense promises. (Heb.4:1) Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. (2) For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.

The Righteousness of God Romans 2:17-3:2 Christ Church Kingwood March 8, 2026 Preacher: Brian Kent

Godly righteousness is the very opposite of self-righteousness. Today, Joyce explains both types of righteousness and shares the benefits of understanding the difference.

Believers have been made right with God, regardless of their actions. As Christians, we're righteous because God says so and we believe it; this is our stance, which is permanent. By contrast, our state is continually changing as we progress through our earthly lives, making mistakes but gradually becoming more and more like Christ. The world offers us plenty of choices of foundations to build our lives on; any foundation other than Jesus Christ will crumble and fall when trouble hits. Basing our identity on Him makes us ready for heaven. To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org

This episode centers on the theme “Multiply,” teaching that whatever flows from a person's heart—through words, attitudes, and actions—is a seed that will eventually produce a corresponding harvest in their life and relationships. Drawing from Proverbs, the Gospels, and Paul's letters, the sermon emphasizes heart-level transformation over behavior management, encouraging listeners to seek personal repentance, ongoing dependence on Christ, and patience as new, godly seeds take time to bear fruit. The speaker explains that change is often invisible at first and may not be immediately recognized by others, but perseverance in sowing righteousness will lead to a different harvest in due season. Ultimately, the message calls believers to generously sow good seeds in every area of life, trust God with the outcome, and resist complacency by continually allowing God to do “new things” in the heart.

What if the reason your life isn't standing out has everything to do with what you actually believe — not what you say you believe?

Since God already knows our needs and desires to give good things to His children, prayer begins by hearing and believing what He has spoken. Faith is born through the Word, and as we receive God's promises into our hearts, His living Word shapes our thoughts, guards our hearts, and produces the fruit of His will in our lives.

This sermon explores Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount regarding righteousness and the law. Pastor Chris addresses two opposing extremes in approaching God's law: legalism (rule-following to earn salvation) and minimalism (rule-avoiding, believing love covers everything). Using the examples of Matthew the tax collector and Simon the Zealot as representatives of these extremes, the message reveals that Jesus confronts both positions. The core truth is that no one can achieve righteousness through their own efforts, yet Jesus doesn't lower the standard—He fulfills it. The sermon emphasizes that salvation comes not through our righteousness but through Christ's "alien righteousness" given to us. This free but costly grace then produces in believers a genuine desire for holy living, not to earn God's love but as a response to having received it.

Find Your Joy in Christ's Righteousness

Revelation 3:14-22 | George Wright

“I'm a good person.” For many, that's the reason they believe they're heaven bound, but if we're honest, while there may be millions of people worse than us, there are also millions who are clearly more righteous. So how could we ever be sure we're on the right side of the measuring stick? And if being good enough were possible, why did Jesus have to die? In our new series, The Cross, we fix our eyes on the defining moment of human history. Pastor Brandon will help us discover that salvation is not achieved through our righteousness, our goodness, or our merit, but through His righteousness, His payment, and His sacrifice.

Speaker - Matt SolieExecutive Pastor

How could Lot be righteous after what he did with his daughters? My friends say God never changes, so we should still be scared of Him like they were in the Old Testament? Why do so many people resist the message of God's grace?
