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  

Does God love Satan? Did God love Lucifer before he rebelled? And if Lucifer had never rebelled against God, would humanity still need Jesus? In this episode of The Bible Explained with Dr. Bryan Cutshall, Dr. Cutshall answers these questions by looking at what the Bible says about Lucifer, Satan's fall from Heaven, sin, rebellion, free will, and our need for salvation through Jesus Christ. You'll learn about the biblical passages traditionally associated with Lucifer's fall, including Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28, the “five I wills” of Lucifer, and how pride and rebellion led to his fall. Dr. Cutshall also explains where the name Lucifer comes from and the connection between Lucifer and Satan. But this conversation goes deeper than Satan's rebellion. What does Lucifer's fall teach us about our own sin? Why did God give Adam and Eve a choice? And why exactly does humanity need Jesus? If you've ever had questions about Lucifer, Satan, the fall, salvation, or what the Bible really teaches about spiritual beings, this episode will help you understand these difficult questions from a biblical perspective.

The single greatest weapon we have against the enemy in this spiritual battle is simply knowing who we are before God.Satan comes against us with guilt, shame, and condemnation, whispering that our failures have disqualified us. But Romans 5:17 declares that those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness will reign in life through Jesus Christ. Righteousness is not something that is earned or maintained through perfect behavior. It is a gift of righteousness through Jesus, received by faith.In Episode 10 of "The Good Fight," Duane Sheriff reveals why the breastplate of righteousness is essential in spiritual warfare. When believers are established in their righteousness in Christ, the enemy loses one of his most effective weapons. Instead of allowing condemnation to push us down and away from God, we can run boldly toward Him, resist the devil, and stand confidently in the authority Christ has given us.Discover the difference between condemnation that drives us from God and conviction that draws us closer to Him. When we truly know who we are in Christ, guilt and shame lose their power, our failures no longer define us, and we can fight the good fight of faith with confidence. The righteous are as bold as a lion.

The most powerful weapon available to us in spiritual warfare is one we already possess. In Episode 9 of "The Good Fight," Duane Sheriff exposes the spiritual conflict between truth and lies. Satan traffics in darkness, deception, and fraud, using lies to ensnare people and lead them further into bondage. But the truth of God's Word has the power to break deception, expose darkness, and set people free.The enemy can only promote a lie by suppressing the truth. When believers remain silent, self-censor, or refuse to speak because they fear rejection, persecution, or being misunderstood, deception is allowed to spread unchecked. Yet Christians are called to stand firm, proclaim the truth in love, and refuse to surrender their most powerful spiritual weapon.Discover how embracing God's Word as the final authority equips us to win the battles we face. Truth separates light from darkness, freedom from bondage, and righteousness from deception. Satan's primary strategy is to deceive and suppress the truth, but when we speak it, live it, and stand firmly upon it, we push back the darkness. Truth is a nuclear force against the lies of the enemy. 

“God told me” can be faith or it can be a cover for impulse, fear, and wishful thinking. We get practical and blunt about how to tell the difference, starting where clarity actually lives: the Word of God. If you want to hear God speak, we talk about why reading Scripture in context beats chasing signs, why your heart can lie to you, and how wise counsel helps you test what you think you're hearing. Then we pivot into the topics people are often scared to bring up out loud: Skinwalker Ranch, UFOs, ghosts, sleep paralysis, and the wider paranormal fascination in our culture. We lay out a Christian framework that takes the supernatural seriously without becoming gullible or obsessed, using biblical categories like angels, demons, principalities, and deceptive signs. We also explain why “defining” something doesn't automatically “explain” it, and why a biblical worldview keeps you anchored when the stories get weird. From there we tackle end times questions and Revelation talk, clarifying what the Bible means by “the last days” and why timeline charts often distract from obedience today. We break down genuine repentance as metanoia, a changed mind that produces fruit, and we discuss discernment around demonization versus physical sickness or mental health struggles. We close with why miracles can feel rarer than the Bible stories, and a fascinating question from Jude 9 about Michael, Satan, and Moses' body.

Jenita Pace was in such a deep depression that she attempted suicide and ended up hospitalized for ten days. God's miracle was that her husband forgot his pager and went home to retrieve it, only to stop Jenita from taking her life moments before! Today, she's a therapist and a professor, but the road to healing was not easy. Jenita talks about the long, slippery slope that can lead to suicide and the lies that we tell ourselves to justify suicide as the only option - when that couldn't be further from the truth. Time and healing have highlighted the truth in Jenita's life: Christians carry the Holy Spirit within them. Every human life is precious and has meaning. God can and will use anyone willing. Salvation is not earned; it's a gift. God loves us just as we are, and in Him, we have infinite value and worth. TAKEAWAYS Jenita wrote a devotional, The Healing Name of Jesus: Find Freedom from Depression and Anxiety Often, the church misunderstands mental health and, as a result, fails to address it The lies Satan tells us are that “we aren't worth it,” and that God “can't use us,” but our pain is our testimony, and our story can save others Contact the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline via call, text, or chat if you need help at 988lifeline.org

Pastor John Randall is taking us through Genesis, verse by verse, right now. In chapter three, sin enters the world. Eve falls for Satan's lie, and Adam willfully disobeys God too. Rather than admitting their sin and turning to God through repentance, they chose to blame shift. Sound familiar? Not only will we be taking a look at the right and wrong way to respond after we sin, but John will also point out that Satan's tactics really haven't changed since the Garden.

Today we come to the final verses of 1 Thessalonians chapter3. Paul has just told these believers that he is praying “night and dayexceedingly” that he might see their faces again and help perfect what islacking in their faith. Now Paul actually tells us something of what he ispraying. Beginning in verse 11, he says: “Now may our God and FatherHimself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you. And may the Lordmake you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we doto you, so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before ourGod and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.” Thereare three wonderful requests in Paul's prayer. First,Paul prays for God's direction. “May our God and Father Himself, and ourLord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.” Remember, Paul desperatelywanted to return to Thessalonica. Back in chapter 2, he said that Satan hadhindered him. But Paul didn't try to force the door open. He prayed for God todirect his way. There is an important lesson here. Sometimes we know what wewould like to do. We have plans. We have desires. We may even believe thosedesires are good and God-honoring. But ultimately, we need God to direct oursteps. Proverbs 3:5–6 tells us: “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; andlean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and Heshall direct thy paths.” Maybe today you are facing a decision. Ask God todirect your way. ThenPaul prays for abounding love. Verse 12 says: “And may the Lord make youincrease and abound in love to one another and to all.” Notice those words:increase and abound. Paul wasn't suggesting that these believers didn't loveeach other. Timothy had already brought good news about their faith and love. Theyhad love. But Paul wanted them to have more love. That reminds us that there isalways room for growth in the Christian life. Our faith can grow. Our knowledgecan grow. Our prayer life can grow. And certainly, our love can grow. Noticealso the direction of their love. Paul says, “to one another and to all.”It is one thing to love our Christian brothers and sisters who believe like wedo and treat us kindly. But Christian love reaches beyond that. Jesus told usto love even our enemies. The love of Christ should overflow from our lives toeveryone around us. ThenPaul's prayer reaches its great conclusion in verse 13: “So that He mayestablish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father.” Thereis our word again—establish. We saw it at the beginning of chapter 3 whenTimothy was sent to establish them concerning their faith. Now Paul wants theirhearts established in holiness. Holiness simply means being set apart for God. Godisn't merely interested in changing what we do on the outside. He wants tochange our hearts. And notice the motivation Paul gives: “At the coming ofour Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.” Paulnever gets very far from the return of Jesus. Every chapter of 1 Thessaloniansends with some reference to Christ's coming. Paul wanted these believers tolive every day with the realization: Jesus is coming again. And that truthshould affect the way we live. First John 3:3 says: “And every man that haththis hope in Him purifies himself, even as He is pure.” If we reallybelieve Jesus could return, it should make a difference in our priorities, ourrelationships, our attitudes, and our conduct. Soas we finish chapter 3, Paul's prayer gives us three wonderful requests we canmake our own today: Lord, direct my steps. Lord, increase my love. Lord,establish my heart in holiness. And may we live today remembering that Jesus iscoming again.Godbless, and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day!

Defeating thoughts have a way of quietly backing us into a corner. Resistance at every turn, mundane tasks that start to feel monumental, weariness that settles in before the day has really begun — and underneath it all, the enemy doing what he does best: creating doubt and fear. It started in the Garden of Eden with a single question: "Did God really say?" That one doubt-filled sentence cost Eve everything, and the pattern has continued ever since. In our work, our relationships, our health, and our faith, Satan works persistently to keep us living from a place of defeat rather than from the victory that already belongs to us. But First Corinthians 15:57 declares something that changes the entire frame: God gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Not someday. Not eventually. Today. The victory is already given, already secured, already ours in Christ. Living from victory rather than toward it is one of the most significant mindset shifts available to a believer. Every doubt, every defeating thought, every whisper of inadequacy has to bow at Jesus' feet — because the enemy has no ground in a life that belongs entirely to Him. Psalm 21 describes God greeting David with rich blessings, granting unending favor, and ensuring that through His unfailing love, David would not be shaken. That same greeting belongs to every child of God today. When a whisper of defeat comes, the response is not a desperate hope that victory might arrive. It is a declaration of what is already true: I am victorious in Christ Jesus. Today's Bible Verse "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."— 1 Corinthians 15:57, NIV Ponder Today The victory is already given — we live from it, not toward it. First Corinthians 15:57 does not say God will give us victory someday. It says He gives it. Present tense. The finish line is behind us, not ahead of us, because of what Christ accomplished. The enemy's primary weapon is doubt. "Did God really say?" is still his opening move. Recognizing the source of defeating thoughts — and responding with God's truth rather than engaging the question — is one of the most powerful forms of spiritual resistance available. Every inch of your life belongs to Jesus — the enemy has no ground there. When defeat feels like the dominant reality, it is a lie operating on territory it does not own. Reclaiming that territory begins with declaring what is actually true. God greets you with rich blessings and unfailing love. Psalm 21 describes the posture God takes toward those who trust in Him — not reluctant assistance, but generous, joyful blessing. That is the God you are bringing your defeating thoughts to. Let "I am victorious in Christ Jesus" become an anthem, not a last resort. Speaking truth out loud in the face of doubt and fear is not a performance of confidence we do not feel. It is faith declaring what is real before feelings catch up to it. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, I admit that I have believed the enemy's lies for far too long. Please forgive me and help me step into the victory You have already claimed on my behalf. I am Yours, Lord, and I choose to live my life from the finish line of Your mercy and grace. When defeating thoughts come, help me see exactly where they are coming from and declare Your truth with boldness and belief. Your Word tells me I am blessed with unending blessings, and I stand on that truth as a platform of victory today. Thank You for overcoming the evil one. Remind me of this often, so that I too will overcome every doubt he throws my way. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer helped you step out of defeat and into the victory that already belongs to you in Christ, we'd love to stay connected.

What if “Satan's throne” wasn't a metaphor? Jonathan Cahn reveals the astonishing mystery of the Altar of Pergamon, unearthed in Turkey, transported to Berlin, and linked to Hitler, the Holocaust, Soviet communism and nuclear Armageddon. Is an ancient spiritual power still shaping history—and our world today? GUEST: Jonathan Cahn is a New York Times bestselling author, biblical teacher and one of the world's most recognized voices exploring the intersection of Scripture, prophecy and world events. His bestselling books include The Harbinger, The Oracle, and The Return of the Gods. In his latest book, The Altar of Pergamon, Cahn investigates what he believes is an extraordinary biblical and historical mystery surrounding the ancient altar associated with Pergamum—the city identified in Revelation as the place “where Satan has his throne.” His investigation traces provocative connections from the altar's excavation and removal to Berlin through the rise of Hitler and Nazism, the Holocaust, Soviet communism, the Cold War and the nuclear age. Cahn's work asks a provocative question at the heart of Strange Planet: Could unseen spiritual forces be operating behind the rise and fall of nations—and could the mystery of Pergamon still be unfolding today?

In this Bible Story, the heavens are opened up as John baptizes Jesus. The signalling of Jesus' earthly ministry has begun, and all of history is about to be shaped forever. Then Jesus is led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where he is tempted by Satan. This story is inspired by Matthew 3:1-17, Matthew 4:1-11, Mark 1:9-13, Luke 3:21-22, Luke 4:1-13, John 1:19-34. Go to https://www.BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Mark 1:11 from the King James Version.Episode 176: “Repent and be baptized for the Kingdom of Heaven is near” yelled John the Baptist as he preached to the people on the banks of the Jordan river. John knew that the day of The Lord was coming soon and he sought to prepare the hearts of the people for His arrival. As John was going about this mission, Jesus made His way through the crowd to be baptized by John. And though he did not fully understand why Jesus would make this request, he obeyed. As Jesus was coming up from the water, the skies opened and the people heard the audible voice of God for the first time in over four hundred years! This marked the beginning of Jesus' ministry…and His temptation.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

I talk to men every single week often they tell me their good intentions: "She was in pain and I was there. I was present." And I have to applaud them, because that's certainly a win! But I do want to encourage them that presence without words is not enough. Your silence when she's hurting isn't neutral. Unfortunately, it can feel like you don't care. She may even worry that you're judging her. Sadly, she may even feel that her heart doesn't matter to you. I don't think that's what you mean. I think you may just not know what to say. It can feel awkward and risky and you don't want to look stupid. But here's the thing: Jesus wasn't silent. He spoke. He served people with His words. Not to perform. Not to impress. To help them. So here are the words I often invite men to say. It might be worth you writing these down: "Honey, how are you feeling?" "That seems really hard. How are you doing?" "Is there anything you want to share?" Yes, it'll feel awkward. Yes, she might not respond the way you hope. But what you just communicated is: I care about your heart. Do it again next week. And the week after. It compounds. And if you've been wrong, don't just change the behavior. Use words -- don't be silent. I encourage you to apologize. And I invite you to be specific. Own it. Character is revealed more by what you repent of -- even than what you do (Dallas Willard). Silence after conviction isn't golden. It can actually be cowardice wearing a mask. I know I've been there more than I'd like to admit. Listen to this week's episode. Then, say words to show you care. And if you're a graduate ready to get back in the game, Proactive launches with a special graduate kickoff. Discounted price disappears September 10th.

PPPS - Here is what (another) recent Coaching Graduate had to say: [before coaching], "My wife would punch her card occasionally thinking it was her duty to perform, which made it worse for both of us. We had slowly lost connection and focus on one another. Life including family, work and ministry took focus on our time and our lives. We were doing everything for everybody else and found ourselves absent of time for each other."[after coaching] "Awareness, understanding, joy, health, compassion, intimacy and godliness Growth of myself and our relationship. Seeing the beauty in my bride. Pursuing it with vigor and not worrying about vulnerability and getting shot down. The program in itself was a major celebration."     Here is an AI-generated summary of today's episode: The Harm Of Silence in Marriage: Why the Words You're Not Saying Are Hurting Your Marriage Silence can be wise. Silence can also be devastating. And if you're a man sitting next to your wife while she's in pain, saying nothing because you "don't know what to say," this episode is for you. Belah gets direct about the difference between powerful silence and painful silence, why men struggle to speak up, and what Jesus modeled about using words to serve the people assigned to you. Over 1,000 Coached Directly DYM recently reviewed the numbers: Belah has personally coached over 1,000 people in just a handful of years.

For graduates, there's a discounted price and a dedicated kickoff call. That pricing disappears September 10th. Brand new to DYM? Visit delightyourmarriage.com/cc to talk to a clarity advisor. Silence When You Should Be Speaking Belah hears it constantly from the men she coaches: "She was upset and I was there for her. My presence was enough." Her response: No, it wasn't. When your wife is in pain and you say nothing, here's what she hears: You don't care You're judging her Her feelings don't matter to you The truth? Most men just don't know what to say. They're terrified of looking foolish or making it worse. But silence in that moment is more painful than imperfect words. The Phrases That Change Everything Write these down. Put them somewhere you'll see them: "Honey, how are you feeling?" "That seems really hard. How are you doing?" "Is there anything you want to share?" "I know this is hard for you." Maybe add a touch on the shoulder. It doesn't need to be a monologue. It just needs to show you care about her heart. Will she respond perfectly the first time? Maybe not. Do it again next week anyway. What you're communicating over time is: your feelings matter to me. Jesus Wasn't Silent Jesus was a servant leader. He washed feet. He made breakfast. He spoke, not to perform or to be admired, but to serve the people God assigned to Him. He was assigned to 12. Not the whole crowd. He prayed for them (John 17). He explained parables to them that He didn't explain to the crowds. He rebuked Peter directly: "Get behind me, Satan. You are mindful of the things of man and not the things of God." James says the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, then gentle. But it's not silent. Jesus spoke because speaking was service. Your wife is your first human assignment. Love your neighbor as yourself, and your neighbor is the one under your roof. Why Men Stay Silent (The Fall Guy Illustration) Belah shares a scene from the movie The Fall Guy: a stuntman who can jump through fires but hides himself the moment he feels weak. He breaks off contact with the woman he loves because he can't bear for her to see him as less than strong. His confession later: "I tried so many times to say something, and I couldn't think of the right words. And as I'm trying, the time passes, and then I think it's too late. So I just stay silent." This is the pattern Belah sees in real men, real marriages. They don't want to look silly, weak, or incompetent. And so they say nothing. And the silence becomes a wall. The antidote? Practice. Look a little foolish. Do the Chicken Dance if you have to (yes, Belah used to make men do that on coaching calls). Because if you're not willing to do something new, nothing will change. Character Is Revealed by What You Repent Of Dallas Willard: "Character is often revealed more by what you repent of than what you do." Belah shares a story from her husband's pickup soccer game. A skilled player accidentally stepped on her, hard. What set him apart from every other man on that field? He came over, shook her hand, and said specifically: "I didn't realize it was you. Instinct kicked in. I was too rough. I apologize." That apology made her respect him far more than if he'd just treated her gently in the first place. Owning it is strength, not weakness. The SHORE Apology: Be Specific If you're not specific in your apology, the other person doesn't even know if you understand why they're hurt. A vague "I'm sorry" leaves them wondering: does he even know what he did? Was it your tone? Your timing? Your words? A specific phrase? Belah shares her own example: she brought something up at the wrong time in someone's life. The content wasn't wrong. The tone wasn't wrong. The timing was wrong, and it caused pain. She had to own that specifically. When Silence IS Powerful Not all silence is bad. Sometimes you need to stop talking so the Holy Spirit can do His work. In marriage conflict, the back-and-forth cycle (text after text, argument after argument) often keeps both people justified in their reactions. He does something that makes her feel unsafe, she disrespects him, and it spirals. But if you pause, if you walk yourself into calmness and stop needing the last word, you create space for conviction. The Holy Spirit can work in silence. You don't have to win the argument. You just have to stop feeding the fire. Your Assignment Write down these phrases and use one this week: "How are you feeling?" "That seems hard. How are you doing?" If you owe an apology, go be specific. What exactly did you do? Name it. Practice looking a little silly. New behavior is awkward at first, like learning to ride a bike. Know when to speak and when to be silent. Speak when she's hurting. Be silent when the argument is spiraling. Your marriage is worth the awkwardness. Your legacy depends on it.

Read OnlineWhile the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret. He saw two boats there alongside the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” Luke 5:1–4At that moment, Simon could not have grasped the full significance of Jesus' actions. Our Lord chose to preach to the crowds from the boat “belonging to Simon.” When He had finished speaking, He turned to Simon and said, “Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.”Traditionally, the boat has been understood as a symbol of the Church. It is particularly meaningful that this first use of a boat in Jesus' public ministry involved Simon's vessel. Later in Luke's Gospel, Jesus says: “Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat, but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers” (Luke 22:31–32).In this powerful passage, Jesus entrusts Simon with the unique mission of leadership and fraternal support. Though Simon would stumble during the Passion, his faith would be restored, and his role confirmed, not merely as a disciple, but as one called to fortify the faith of others. This divine commission echoes the symbolic act at the Lake of Gennesaret, where Simon's boat becomes the pulpit from which the Word is proclaimed. And, as is recorded in Matthew's Gospel, Jesus later changed Simon's name to Peter, making him the rock foundation upon which He would build His Church, promising the gates of hell would not prevail against it (cf. Matthew 16:17–19).By choosing Simon's boat, Jesus foreshadowed that the Gospel would go forth from the Church, built upon Simon Peter's faith and leadership. Christ remains the cornerstone, yet Simon would serve as the rock: a foundational witness whose confession and fidelity would uphold the apostolic Church.This moment by the lake is far more than a simple teaching setting. It is a prophetic image of the Church: anchored by Peter, guided by Christ, and commissioned to cast its nets into the deep waters of the world, drawing souls into the Kingdom of God. Christ alone has the power to draw all people to Himself, yet He chooses to do so through Peter, his successors, and all faithful collaborators who serve as fishers of men.As the passage continues, Simon obeys Jesus' command and puts out into deep water. The result is an astonishing catch that is so abundant that the nets begin to tear. Others must come to help, a clear symbol of the necessary collaboration among all members of the Church, working together in Christ's divinely guided mission.We, too, are called to share in that same mission and to imitate Simon's humility upon witnessing the miraculous catch. He fell at Jesus' feet and cried out, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man” (Luke 5:8). He was deeply humbled and recognized his unworthiness before the divine presence.Jesus, however, looked upon Simon and those with him, including Andrew, James, and John, and said, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men” (Luke 5:10). These words are meant for each of us. Fear is often the greatest obstacle to fully embracing God's call. But when we respond with humility and courage, trusting in His grace, we will find ourselves part of the great mission to draw others into the safety of the Church. Reflect today on the sacred image of Simon's boat. See in it a foreshadowing of the Church, and consider how you are called to serve within her. Christ continues to preach from this vessel, to call others into its safety, and to call you to cast your net into the deep where many souls await the Gospel and God's mercy.All-powerful Lord, You first preached from a humble fishing boat owned by Simon. Today, You continue to preach and reach out to those caught in the deep and turbulent waters of this world. Please send me, as You later sent Simon Peter, to bring Your Gospel to those who need it most. Purify me of every fear, so that I may answer Your call with courage and zeal. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Adobe StockSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

I forgave my mom who has passed away, and it made all the difference! Thank you! I had a dream, and God told me that I'm forgiven. But my friend says it could've been Satan! I read my Jimmy Swaggart Bible, and it said Satan will be released in the future. But what are you saying?

You already have access to the single most powerful spiritual weapon available. In Episode 8 of "The Good Fight," Duane Sheriff reveals why truth is the first piece of God's armor and the foundation that connects every other spiritual weapon. The battle believers face ultimately comes down to truth against lies. God works through truth, while Satan's primary weapon is deception. We must believe a lie before we can become ensnared by it.The fight of faith is the daily decision to believe God, trust His Word, and make it our final authority rather than accepting the philosophies and fraudulent narratives of the world. God's Word is truth, and when we continue in His Word, that truth sanctifies us, separates us from darkness, exposes deception, and brings freedom into every area of our lives.Believers are called to become pursuers, lovers, and courageous messengers of truth. Although we cannot confront every lie in our culture, when we focus on the truth and speak it in love, lies are exposed, and strongholds are broken. Satan cannot stand in the truth. Stand firmly on God's Word to withstand every assault of the enemy and fight the good fight of faith.

For many years, it was an inspiring book. Then it became a hit Broadway musical. Then it was made into a movie several times. The story is Victor Hugo's classic, Lés Misérables. One of the many dramas in the book portrays the efforts of this group of valiant young men and women to fight to free their fellow Frenchmen from a tyrannical government. They make their stand against a massive French army at a makeshift wall they have constructed. They call it the “barricade of freedom.” They fight bravely, but their cause is threatened by a major problem that develops. They begin to run out of ammunition. Well, this one little boy realizes that their fight for freedom can only continue if they can find more ammunition. So, he risks his own life to crawl across the battle zone, picking up bullets from wounded and dying French soldiers. Because you can't win the battle when you're running out of bullets. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Running Out of Ammo in the Battle for Lives.” Right now, there's an ammunition shortage in the most decisive battle of all—that would be the battle for human souls, the battle for human lives. It began at the cross where Jesus died to make eternal life possible. It moved out across the planet at Jesus' command and in the power of His resurrection, and it continues this very day in cities and towns across this country and in every country of the world. It is a fight to liberate people Jesus died for from the penalty and the power of their sin, from an unspeakable eternity, and from Satan's chains. But on so many fronts in the battle, Jesus' forces are running out of bullets. In many places God's soldiers are beating back the enemy, taking prisoners from the enemy and pushing back the darkness. But they're running short of bullets. The money just isn't there to keep pressing the battle. All those letters and appeals you get asking for money for ministry—they're about a lot more than money. For ministries that are really making a difference, it's all about ammunition to keep fighting the battle for lives. But something's gone wrong. It can't be that God isn't giving the money to people through whom He wants to meet these needs. It must be that some of us are sitting on the ammunition instead of sending it to the front lines. And when we lose one of these battles, it's lives we lose—maybe forever. Our word for today from the Word of God lays out how the supply line for God's army is supposed to work. And thinking of the economic battles and struggles and sometimes the downturns of our time, it seems particularly relevant to go back to those Macedonian believers that Paul cited as an example for all of us. Here's what Paul says, “Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity…they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability” (2 Corinthians 8:2-3). It was sacrificial giving so the believers in Jerusalem would have the ammunition they needed to fight their battles. Why? It goes on to say, “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that through His poverty we might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9). Jesus impoverished Himself to make us rich, and He's the Son of God. So, how can we hang onto what He's given us so we can stay in our comfort zone? The battle for a lost and dying world is every believer's battle, not just the battle for a few spiritual daredevils who take all the risks, exercise all the faith, and make all the sacrifices. For those who are fighting on the front lines, it's our responsibility to make every bullet count, to stay on mission, to always take the high road of integrity, and put our faith in Jehovah Jireh, not in our contributors. And for every one of us, we need to hear the cries from the front lines, “We're winning, but we're running out of ammunition!” Listen, while there's time, let's throw everything we can into this battle for which Jesus gave everything He had!

That is exactly what the enemy is counting on. If he can dominate your thought life with fear, worry, and what if it doesn't work, he does not have to do anything else. Your beliefs follow your thoughts, your words follow your beliefs, and your actions follow your words. He gets the outcome he wanted without ever touching your circumstances. In this teaching we walk through 2 Corinthians 10:5 and Romans 12:2 in the New Living Translation, then open Matthew 6:25-34, John 14:26-27, and John 16:33 in the Amplified. Jesus gave a direct instruction: stop being worried and anxious saying what will we eat, what will we drink, how are we going to make it. That is a command, which means you have the ability to carry it out. You have power, love, and a sound and well disciplined mind, and you can answer every fear thought the same way Jesus answered Satan. It is written.

It all started with a question. Some people wanted to learn the will of God concerning a certain religious tradition. To all appearances they were sincere in their question, and they were serious about it, but God basically answered them, "I couldn't care less." This week in Zechariah 7, 8 and 9 we'll learn what the Lord does value from us; and we'll explore a prophecy that includes both Jesus, and Alexander the Great! There's a lot packed into these 3 chapters. Let's dive into them, with Jim.

RS09022026_0.mp3Scripture References: Zechariah 7-8

Preached at Tuesday Mid Week Service on 1st September, 2026.

The sermon exposes the stealthy and pervasive tactics of Satan, who operates as a roaring lion seeking to devour believers through various forms of occult activity and spiritual deception. It emphasizes the necessity of knowing the enemy's strategies to effectively resist his attacks, drawing on biblical warnings against divination and spiritism found in Deuteronomy 18. Through illustrative accounts of demonic influence and personal deliverance, the text highlights the reality of spiritual bondage and the destructive nature of Satan's systems compared to God's life-giving truth. Believers are urged to put on the full armor of God and rely on the authority of Christ to overcome these forces rather than relying on secular or occult remedies. The message concludes with practical guidance for helping others by listening, discerning symptoms, and leading them to submit to God and renounce sin.

Warfare Against Satanists (1) (audio) David Eells – 9/2/26   A Call To War Dumitru Duduman September 1993 . “Cease heading the way you have been going and turn to me”, says the Lord. “Lucifer, who is armed for war on his horse, and is coming with a powerful army behind him to take vengeance against the children of God. The day is close! A day of terror when Lucifer will try to annihilate all those that live a clean life, a day of pain and terror is near. (We are the salt, our job is to resist him. We were told “you have not because you ask not”.) “If you could see what is being prepared and what will happen, you would surely quit doing everything you know in your heart to be wrong and would seek peace more than ever. Be prepared, be holy, and don't give in to the temptations and impulses of the enemy. Seek the Lord, your God, with all your heart. Those who will be clean, those who will be holy, I will not forget. I will save them”, says the Lord. “The armies of the devil are coming against those who worship me and truly seek me, with great fury. Pray that I may give you strength so that before the storm comes, I may save you and give you joy. “Those who live in defilement, that meditate upon evil things, will have no escape. They will not have any protection. I will destroy BABYLON”, (America) says the Lord, “because of the wickedness and blasphemy of this country. Not only here but wherever there is sin, I will punish it harshly. Only the righteous will I save, some even out of the midst of the fire. “Again, I tell you, a dark cloud is gathered. Lucifer, sitting on his black horse, is ready for war. The trumpets of the devil are sounding day and night to all the demons of the deep to be prepared to make war against those who truly live their lives for God. There will be such great turmoil that only a few will escape. Those who today only carry the name of 'believer' will fight with fury against those who worship me with a clean heart. This is why I have revealed this to you -- because the days are numbered. “I reveal to you, I speak to you, I show to you”, says the Lord, “but many do not want to remember, saying to themselves, 'Is it truly the Lord speaking this?' Others become scared for the moment, but then they forget and never become pure. Many of those who carry the name of 'Christian' are overcome by greed, fornication, drunkenness, and a pursuit of great wealth. “There is no time to lose. The day of destruction and terror is coming soon. The devil is agitated, and a great deception is being prepared; but I tell you, do not fear. I have the power to protect those who obey me. You must remember the Word of God. Tell them to read the Bible and pray that I may also save them. “The great day, the day of terror, the day of affliction, of pain, the day of the punishment of Babylon prophesied in the Bible is soon coming, and I will only save the righteous”, says the Lord. “I forgive whom I want. I make holy who I want, and I prepare who I want. Judge no one, for mine is the judgment”, says the Lord. “Each of you judge yourselves. Pray and draw close to me; and if you will obey, I will come to your aid. I will send a chariot of salvation and take each one out in his appointed time”. We have dealt with the spirit of faction against our ministry for several years now and have been cleansed of it and the apostates, so we recognize it in the worldly and see it operating in the government. We are doing the necessary warfare against this work of Islam, satanism, communism, and faction, with their witchcraft, curses, railing, etc., causing problems for Christians, President Trump, his administration, and the MAGA movement. (We were told that the Bride was being cleansed now but the much larger church will go through this same thing in the tribulation.) I'm going to go over some terminology with you about these demons of:   Gossip, Slander, Railing, Reviling ... and What Motivates Them Our first defense against these demons is to not receive accusations against anyone that we do not have two or three witnesses, as the Scriptures teach. Many times, the motivation for gossip, slander, railing, and reviling, which are similar, is to divide others unto oneself for selfish ambitions, like making disciples. Satan has this same purpose. Anyone who listens to these demons gets invaded by them. In this case, the person working for satan should be marked or identified. Rom.16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent. (This division or faction often involves jealousy, lying, and manipulation to get one's way.) Jas.3:14 But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom is not [a wisdom] that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish [Greek: demoniacal]. 16 For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed. Indeed, these people always are in deep sin, for when they judge they are judged in this manner. Let's get some terminology straight so we can look at some scriptures. From Wikipedia: Gossip is malicious talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others, meant to harm the subject's reputation in the community. It is one of the oldest and most common means of sharing facts and views, but it also has a reputation for the introduction of errors and variations into the information transmitted. The term can also imply that the idle chat or news is of a personal or trivial nature, as opposed to normal conversation, but may not be intentionally malicious. Mat.12:36 And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Thank God that we come into days of judgment so that we don't have to come into the Day of Judgment! The Greek word translated as “idle” here means “unfruitful.” There are unfruitful words that demand punishment in a day of judgment, so we should be quick to repent and be slow to speak. (I will give Greek meanings which reveal much here. Both Greek and Hebrew verses are given to show the nature of these errors.) Slander(er): Greek: Diablos; (Diablo is also Spanish for “Devil.”), Accuser; meaning accusing falsely, finding fault with the demeanor and conduct of others and spreading their innuendos and criticisms in the church. The devil finds those people who are accusers like him to do his dirty work. Psa.15:1 Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? [I.e., Who will be in Jerusalem, whom John was told was the Bride?] 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart; 3 He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor. This of course, cannot include those whose job it is to correct the evil. Psa.50:20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son. Psa.101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer. We can actually see God destroying the life and conscience of those who sin like this. Pro.10:18 He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool. Jer.6:28 They are all grievous revolters, going about with slanders; they are brass and iron: they all of them deal corruptly. Jer.9:4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders. Eze.22:9 Slanderous men have been in thee to shed blood; and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains: (They are lifted up in pride, imagining themselves as God.) in the midst of thee they have committed lewdness. Rom.3:8 and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just. 1Ti.3:11 Women in like manner [must be] grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. 2Ti.3:3 without natural affection, implacable (they cannot be appeased), slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, Tit.2:3 that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good; Rail(er): Greek: Blasphemeo; to blaspheme, rail, revile, defame, speak evil of. 2Pe.2:10 but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, self-willed, they tremble not to rail at dignities: (I.e., those who have authority over them.) Jude 1:8 Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at nought dominion, and rail at dignities. (When I was young, people spoke with respect of the one the people voted to be president. Because of slander and railing, weak-minded people try to kill him. Jude 1:10 But these rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed. Revile(er): Greek: Blasphemeo; to blaspheme, rail, revile, defame, speak evil of. Also commonly translated from: Loidoreo; to abuse, revile. Ecc.10:20 Revile not the king, no, not in thy thought; and revile not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the heavens shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. Joh.9:28 And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. But Moses had better sense. 1Co.4:12 and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; We have to endure these ignorant people until God removes them as He always does. 1Co.5:11 but as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat. Do not partake of spiritual or physical food with these demons. 1Co.6:10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. So you see they are linked with other serious sins. 1Pe.2:23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously: God will repay. Most of the faction is dead. 1Pe.3:16 having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ. Eph.4:25 Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another. (Selfish ambition often involves pride, anger, and lying to get one's way.) 26 Be ye angry, and sin not: (?) let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27 neither give place to the devil. 28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need. 29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, (Greek: Edify[ing] “the building up of the need.” i.e., If it's not building up the speaker and the spoken to, don't say it.) that it may give grace to them that hear. (If it doesn't bring graceful correction or give grace or favor from God to the hearer, then don't say it.) 30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice: (All of this comes because of selfish ambition and unforgiveness for those who get in its way.) 32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you. If we want forgiveness from God, we must sow it.   Genghis Khan Spirit of Deception Eve Brast - 12/25/2011 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I saw many people being deceived by a much more powerful and deceptive evil principality called a Genghis Khan spirit. It will be worse than the false revival, Kundalini Eastern Spirit. (Genghis Khan was the Mongol who led legions of demon-possessed men to conquer most of Eurasia by the edge of the sword, massacring whole populations, about 40 million people. He is still worshipped by many in Mongolia, so he could represent a religious spirit here. No doubt this is a spirit that will bring spiritual death, conquering multitudes of Christians, like the Kundalini Yoga spirit's false revival. This new spirit conquers people by the sword or WORDS, written or spoken, which makes it much more dangerous than the Kundalini spirit, which was mostly imparted by the laying on of hands. These words are in the form of unforgiveness, bitterness, back-stabbing, criticism, slander, gossip, railing, lying, perversion, witchcraft, voodoo, etc. As with any war, the enemy will target the leadership with their words first in order to replace them with their own kind. If you listen to their words, you will be conquered and come into spiritual death and under their authority. These people always prefer to speak behind one's back, but you, the true Church, must tell them to go to the person they are accusing and speak to them alone, according to Jesus' command in Matthew 18:15, and if it is not sin according to the Word, they should stop gossiping and slandering and not receive such things. If they do not listen, “mark them” or identify them, as the Lord commands in Romans 16:17,18; Titus 3:10,11.) I was shaking my head in disappointment as I watched the people act like they were in love with this spirit; it was like a worldwide orgy. (The true people of God who stay with the truth of His Word won't be overtaken, even with this deception.) This is all I was shown. (We have been shown many times that this is a worldwide attack on the saints by apostates. The corporate beast spirit from the abyss is coming forth to enter the sons of perdition [Judases] and use them to conquer and make war on the true Christians. Rev.17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, [they] whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come. As the Word says, a great falling away to strong delusion is upon us. Pray for anyone being used in this way that they would repent before they are ultimately reprobated and forever known as sons of perdition. When I opened my Bible for a scripture for this dream, my finger was on 1Th.4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that ye abstain from fornication; 4 that each of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in passion of lust, even as the nations who know not God. (A refusal to separate from known or hidden sins is what makes Christians vulnerable to these conquering demons, for God turns them over to them. 1Co.5:5 to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. [Refusal to separate from these people will infect the whole assembly.] 6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed, [even] Christ: 8 wherefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.) I asked the Father what this Genghis Khan spirit was or what it represented, and when I opened my Bible, my finger was on 1Jn.2:22 Who is the liar but who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, even who denieth the Father and the Son. (Antichrist spirits always deny the true Jesus and Word to justify themselves. The rest of this text tells the whole story. 1Jn.2:18 Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us (They get offended when you don't agree with their sin.), but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us. [Notice that many antichrists in this “last hour” will separate from us because they do not belong with the true Church due to their leavened nature. In this, they deny the Father and Son (verse 22) because they deny the true Word given in the beginning, which is eternal life.] 24 As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise which he promised us, [even] the life eternal. 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that would lead you astray.   12/29/2011 In the dream above, I saw many Christians being deceived by a very powerful and deceptive evil principality called a Genghis Khan spirit. I saw that this spirit is manifesting in the factious who kill by the sword of slander, and now, below, I am seeing that it is also taking over a beast government. (There has always been a beast government to back up the factious. Jesus' time was a good example of this. Obama is the head of a D.S. beast government made up of Islam, faction, communist, leftist, peoples.) I had seen a cleansing of the true church by this spirit rising up in apostates to separate them from the Man-child and Bride, but also now, below, I see a global shift and transfer of secular governmental power in the spirit realm to this Genghis Khan spirit. (To confirm this, on 1/09/12, we just discovered that Mongolia is on our school schedule for my son Noah's studies this week! And he also has to read a book about Genghis Khan, who came from there. Now I know there are no coincidences with the Father! Isn't that something?) It appears from the dreams below that there is a secular type to coincide with, and possibly give timing to, the previous spiritual meaning of the Genghis Khan spirit that God gave. The war between Iran and Israel is being used as a type of the war between the factious murderers and the righteous. The Iran faction type is also backed up by a beast government type of Russia/China. Also, it appears that what is seen below is that this is the time of the choosing of the Bride and birthing of the Man-child ministry. I asked the Father to expand my understanding of this Genghis Khan spirit from my first spiritual revelation concerning the Church. I opened my Bible and my finger fell on: Eze.32:24 There is Elam (Iran invaded by Islam) and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the Earth, who caused terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with them that go down to the pit. (Iran is about to lose her battle to Israel, backed by the U.S. In parallel, the factious in the world church will lose their battle against the righteous.) (I looked up who Elam was because I didn't know. Elam was a son of Shem, who was the father of the Persians or modern-day Iranians.) (Shem is also the father of the chosen line of Israel, meaning the true Iranians and Israelites are born of the same father. However, the Iranian's Muslim invaders and evil leadership represents the same thing as the Edomites, for they have perpetually made war against their own brothers. As we have seen in another parable, this also represents the factious in the world church who persecute their brothers but will lose by the hand of God. So now you see that the Iranian Muslim invaders' actions against Israel represent the factious people's actions against the Church, since they are born of the same murderous spirits. The Psalms speak often of the persecution and slander against David by the factious, and many of these are also prophetically speaking of Jesus and Jesus in the end-time Man-child.) Then I asked for a confirmation for this scripture and opened my Bible and put my finger down on Isa.21:2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous man dealeth treacherously, and the destroyer destroyeth. Go up, O Elam (Iran); besiege O Media (Kurds of Iran); all the sighing thereof have I made to cease. 3 Therefore are my loins filled with anguish; pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman in travail; I am pained so that I cannot hear; I am dismayed so that I cannot see. (We see here that not only will the invader Muslim leadership of Iran attack first, as the factious always do. They murdered around 52,000, President Trump said 100,000 unarmed Iranian people, many turned Christians, before Israel and U.S. stepped in. We also see that this caused the woman Church there to be in travail with Christ coming through them. Is this a sign for the rest of the Church? Islam is killing Christians around the world. The red dragon of Satan is seeking to devour the woman Church. President Trump has opposed them three times recently. Iran has struck all of its Islamic neighbors.) Deb Horton's note: Genghis Khan was known and is studied in war colleges today for his strategic maneuvers. One of the most famous was dividing up his troops and sending in very small skirmish/attack forces before the actual war. (That may be what we have seen, when they struck all of their Sunni neighbor Islamists who are now against the Shia cult in the war.) The woman church, who is faced by the dragon, is in travail with the birth of the Man-child in Revelation 12:1-5. This appears to be giving us timing -- a physical sign of a spiritual happening?) About Elam: Jer.49:35 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam (Iran), in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, (This was before Zedekiah made the tribulation covenant with the King of Babylon as the head of the beast -- Ezekiel 17:13,15-21) saying thus saith the Lord of Hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam (Iran), the chief of their might. (This looks like the Islamists in Iran being hit by Israel and the U.S. before the tribulation covenant, as we have thought. In parallel, the factious will lose their war against the righteous in the Church by the hand of God.) 36 And upon Elam (Iran) will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds: and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come. (They are being scattered because the food, water, and pay are scarce and they are being slaughtered. The greatest revival of Christianity is there. They may scatter and spread the Gospel.) 37 And I will cause Elam (Iran) to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them who seek their life (of the Islamic Invaders); and I will bring evil upon them (Islam), even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; and I will send a sword after them (Islam), till I have consumed them; 38 and I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence king and princes saith the Lord. (Done, against Islam invaders) 39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days (now), that I will bring back the captivity of Elam saith the Lord. (Iran is being delivered from Islamic captivity. We see this as a prophecy of our day at the end of the Iran war. Also this is seen in Jer.25:25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes (Kurds of Iran); 26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach (Babylon U.S. weakened by war) shall drink after them. We also see in type in this text that the factious Islamic leadership will be brought into captivity in “the latter days.”) I asked the Father who the Elamites [Iranian Islamists] represented from these verses? (Could the Iranian Christians be a sign for the U.S. Christians who will also suffer under the Islamic beast?) When I opened my Bible, my finger fell on Jer.7:8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. (Those Iraneans who joined the Islamists to betray their brethren,) 9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known, 10 and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, we are delivered; that we may do all these abominations? 11 Is this house which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, saith the Lord. (This clearly is a warning to the Iranians under this factious beast of Islam foreshadow the Christians in the U.S. who have followed a false Jesus but are justifying their sinful actions.) I asked the Father if He had anything more for us concerning all this, and when I opened my Bible, my finger was on Psa.7:10 My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart. I believe this entire Psalm is a promise to us of what our Father will soon do to the factious who receive and commit adultery with this Genghis Khan spirit to conquer enemies by the sword. Be encouraged, brethren, and hold fast to the truth which you heard from the beginning! As I was lying down to sleep, I asked the Father to show me more about the Genghis Khan spirit in a dream or vision. As I was lying in bed, praying in the Spirit, He gave me this vision on 12/29/11: I was high above Earth, looking down from a southern viewpoint toward the north at the Asian continent, where Russia and China are. It was dark upon the Earth. Suddenly, I saw something dark rising up from beneath the Asian continent, from the center where Mongolia is located (where Genghis Khan came from). The Spirit told me that Mongolia is the opening to the womb between the two legs of Russia and China, and this spirit is rising up in and coming forth from them. Its back rose out first, hunched like a mountain (or kingdom); then its head and shoulders came out bowed down toward the east; then its arms, and finally its legs. It stayed kneeling down on one knee toward the east, bracing itself with its arms and hands -- one on Russia and the other on China (similar to the stance runners have at the start of a race). (This Genghis Khan spirit is a spiritual type of a conquering spirit rising in the Russia/China beast to back Iran in the Middle East. When U.S. and Israel hit Iran, they were successful. However, Russia and China have defense agreements with Iran and Syria, and because of this insult, they are coming together in an arms race to fight against the U.S. along with Israel. Iran, in its hatred for Israel, is a part of this larger beast. This is a type of the factious religious beast, being a part of the larger conquering world beast in their hatred for Christianity. This is also seen in Revelation 14 where the religious beast is one with the world secular beast.) It had a human form with sharp nails on its fingers, pointed ears, and a bald head. Heaven gave it permission to raise its head and take its first breath and as it opened its mouth and drew in a large breath, some more stars (nations) were sucked into its mouth from the night sky, along with the breath it inhaled. I could see very sharp top and bottom canine teeth. (Just as the secular beast has physical power to devour the saints, so does the religious beast have spiritual power to devour the saints. Psa.37:12 The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth. Psa.57:4 My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.) It was very black with many stars in it. (Abraham's seed are “as the stars of heaven”. Just as Russia and China are a beast that has many stars, they will seek to conquer Israel and the U.S., and many more children of God will be sucked in under this Genghis Khan spirit's darkness. The U.S. is being weakened by war, and especially by the previous administration's destruction of our economy and military. And Russia has its hands full with Ukraine. The West may not be conquered by the Russia/China beast until the tribulation, as the Word in Hidden Manna in the chapter on the “Fall of the United States” shows.) It looked like the night sky's mirror image inside it. It didn't stand up, but if it had, the Earth under its feet would have looked like a large beach ball. It was gigantic. (Genghis Khan is a world-conquering spirit of the beast in the secular realm, just as it is in the religious realm. Genghis was a merciless murderer of men like faction, and slander is a murderer of souls.) I later asked the Father for a verse for this vision of the Genghis Khan spirit and my finger fell on Eze.21:24 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand (Unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred and retaliation is the nature of those who have this spirit and God does not forgive or forget their sins for this reason. In verses 11 and 12 of this text, God says the sword “is upon all the princes of Israel”, meaning natural and spiritual. So the apostate leadership of God's people can be included.), 25 And thou, O deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end, 26 thus saith the Lord: remove the mitre, and take off the crown; this shall be no more the same; exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high. (This is clear that this spirit will conquer an apostate leadership of God's people in the end and they will be spiritually wounded and removed from their high position over any true people of God.) When I read the last part of this scripture, the Spirit brought to my remembrance what Mary said in Luk.1:51 He hath showed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart. 52 He hath put down princes from their thrones, And hath exalted them of low degree. (Again, this was spoken of the removal of the apostates over the true people of God by the coming of the Man-child ministry, as the next part of the vision shows.) Right after this, I saw the upper half of a giant woman in the heavens with long blonde hair and very fair skin, cradling a newborn with golden hair in her right arm. (The worldwide woman and true Church having brought forth the Man-child ministry.) Light from heaven was shining down upon them. (I only saw her profile and the top of the newborn's head.) She was also facing east (toward the coming of the Son), looking down at her baby, her white garment lowered off her right shoulder in preparation to nurse Him. And a clear vial filled with golden oil appeared without hands and poured oil onto the infant's mouth and onto the woman's right breast. Then she brought the baby to her breast to nurse Him. (This Man-child will partake of the oil and gold of heaven -- the anointing and nature of Jesus.) I asked the Father for a verse concerning the vision of the woman, and my finger fell on Psa.128:3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of thy house; Thy children like olive plants, round about thy table. This whole Psalm is awesome! (God will prosper the woman Church to bear the fruit of Jesus in the wilderness, in spite of the dragon, who is satan, of Genghis Khan trying to destroy her and her Man-child. Escaping this evil is for them a Passover of the Destroyer before leaving Egypt for the wilderness. It is the Man-child escaping the dragon, which is trying to destroy them.) These two events seem again to be happening almost simultaneously or very close together, but they are both under the Father's sovereign control! I believe the Lord said this will not be prayed down, just lessened in some areas.   Enemy Tares Tianna Fire 4/24/23 (David's notes in red) (This is a revelation about the dangers of even thinking slanderous thoughts). I had been getting many strange attacks in the spiritual; unusual thoughts and feelings and many physical attacks all at once. I didn't mention this to my husband Samuel, but I went and had a bath, wondering to the Lord why all these crazy attacks were happening. I saw a specific person, and the enemy was giving her evil thoughts regarding me; she was unknowingly agreeing with those thoughts, not realizing it was demons. This gave the demons legal right to attack me regarding the evil cursed thoughts. (Rev.12:10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night.) I then had a vision of a few other people from my past, and some people who had fallen away. The enemy was giving them thoughts about me, and then the people were unknowingly speaking curses out loud against me. (Jam.3:5-12 So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind: 8 but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: 10 out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter? 12 can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither can salt water yield sweet.) I was able to understand the enemy was using these people to get a legal right to attack me; hence all the crazy physical and spiritual attacks. All of this worked because God has given authority to man; what they speak, they get. (Pro.18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.) We either bless or curse, and the consequences of man's thoughts and words are more powerful than we really understand. The Lord allowed me to see where the mental and physical attacks were all coming from. (2Co.10:5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ). Then I heard in my spirit that because Jesus has paid the price for us, we have the power to not accept these attacks. Even though the enemy tries to use man's thoughts and words against us, we don't have to allow the thoughts and words to affect us. (Mat.18:18-19 Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.) We are not under the curse, and we are blessed because of faith in Jesus. The attacks, the evil thoughts, evil feelings, and pains, all were put on Jesus because He paid the price to take it away. But we still have the choice to accept the curse and allow the enemy to attack us, or we can give it to Jesus, Who already took it. (Gal.3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.) (Pro.26:2 As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, So the curse that is causeless alighteth not.) As soon as I heard this, I agreed, and I didn't accept these curses and idle thoughts against me. I agreed that Jesus paid the price, and the attacks completely calmed; praise God and ALL Glory to the Creator of all for all eternity! (1Pe.2:24 who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.) Later I went to Samuel, and he had been spending alone time with God. Samuel shared a prayer he had written for me to agree with and it related to what God had revealed to me. This is the prayer: “Do you agree that all curses, idle words and all witchcraft are broken off us and all the Brethren? That anyone who isn't wanting to follow the Real Jesus will not try to contact or see us unless they are manifesting Christ, and that all of the Brethren are healed, restored, and we will have enough provisions, and everything is restored or replaced with better? That we will never be separated from each other, and that we be Godly parents to David forever to glorify God in all we do; and that we manifest His Word and Christ in us, 100-fold all the time? That we will be His vessels, used to help others be closer to the Lord, being His Hands and Feet to establish His Kingdom, and that we receive all this now?! Thank You Almighty Father in Jesus Name for doing all these according to Your Word and Promises!”

Reading 1Jeremiah 20:7-9You duped me, O LORD, and I let myself be duped;you were too strong for me, and you triumphed.All the day I am an object of laughter;everyone mocks me.Whenever I speak, I must cry out,violence and outrage is my message;the word of the LORD has brought mederision and reproach all the day.I say to myself, I will not mention him,I will speak in his name no more.But then it becomes like fire burning in my heart,imprisoned in my bones;I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it.Reading 2Romans 12:1-2I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God,to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this agebut be transformed by the renewal of your mind,that you may discern what is the will of God,what is good and pleasing and perfect.GospelMatthew 16:21-27Jesus began to show his disciplesthat he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatlyfrom the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,and be killed and on the third day be raised. Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him,"God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you." He turned and said to Peter,"Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."Then Jesus said to his disciples,"Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.What profit would there be for one to gain the whole worldand forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory,and then he will repay all according to his conduct."

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOAaron's introduction to the paranormal wasn't gentle — it was violent, shocking, and unlike anything he expected. As co-founder of the NW Paranormal Investigative Team, he has spent years exploring hauntings, dark energy, and unexplained phenomena. But nothing prepared him for the case that changed everything.When his team was called to assist with an exorcism, Aaron watched his partner, June, perform something he still struggles to fully understand — the physical removal of a presence no one could see, yet everyone in the room could feel. What happened next forced Aaron to question not only the nature of demons… but the methods people turn to when they're desperate for relief. Including the dangerous belief that Satan himself can be invoked for “help.”Today, Aaron shares that frightening experience, along with his encounters inside Portland's infamous Shanghai tunnels — one of the city's most paranormally active and historically brutal locations.From dark entities to human spirits with unfinished stories, Aaron's journey through the shadows of the Pacific Northwest offers a rare look at the realities of investigating the supernatural.#paranormal #exorcism #paranormalinvestigations #shanghaitunnels #demonicencounter #realghoststories #thegravetalks #hauntings #supernatural #demonology #portlandhistory #trueparanormalLove real ghost stories?

It all started with a question. Some people wanted to learn the will of God concerning a certain religious tradition. To all appearances they were sincere in their question, and they were serious about it, but God basically answered them, "I couldn't care less." This week in Zechariah 7, 8 and 9 we'll learn what the Lord does value from us; and we'll explore a prophecy that includes both Jesus, and Alexander the Great! There's a lot packed into these 3 chapters. Let's dive into them, with Jim.

Dr. Matthew Sleeth is a former emergency room physician who has become one of the most influential Christian leaders in America. He is the executive director of Blessed Earth and the author of a new book, Hope Always: How to Be a Force for Life in a Culture of Suicide. Matthew talks about how he raised his kids in a Christian household, pulled the plug on screens and television, and focused hard on the Word of God. He also discusses the skyrocketing rates of suicide in America, zooming in on the magnitude of an increasingly prevalent problem. His newest book examines the spiritual forces behind suicide and how devoted Christians are far less likely to act on these destructive thoughts. God wants us to choose life, Matthew says, but Satan is constantly attempting to push humans toward death. TAKEAWAYS Christians act on suicidal thoughts four times less often than non-Christians Secular culture presents a hopeless, rudderless picture of life The voice of suicide is the voice of Satan, the voice of your enemy Contact the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline via call, text, or chat if you need help at 988lifeline.org

Universal reconciliation is the concept that everything and everyone will ultimately be reconciled to God. The Scripture declares “the mystery” of God's will is to finally “gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth”? (Eph. 1:9-10) Does that mean literally everything, including all sinners, even Satan and all his fallen angels, will finally be restored to a right relationship with God? This is a challenging and controversial subject that needs to be examined.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.netMinistry website: www.shreveministries.orgThe Catholic Project: www.toCatholicswithlove.orgVideo channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministriesAll audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.Mike Shreve's other podcastDiscover Your Spiritual Identity—a study on the biblical names given to God's people: https://www.charismapodcastnetwork.com/show/discoveryourspiritualidentityMail: P.O.

Lutzer explores Karl Marx's writings about Satan, hell, revolution, religion, family, private property, and the ideas behind the Communist Manifesto. He contrasts Marx with evangelist D.L. Moody, whose Christian preaching reached enormous audiences in Britain and America, and examines why the battle between Marxism and Christianity remains relevant today.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World
