Send a textWhy does healing prayer feel sincere—but still ineffective for so many Christians?In this episode, we sit down with Beatty Carmichael to explore why prayer for healing often seems to produce little change—and what may be missing in our understanding of biblical healing.This conversation focuses on The Prayer of Freedom as a structured, Scripture-based process of inner healing and repentance—not a quick fix or emotional moment. Beatty explains why faithful believers can pray for years and remain stuck, and how confusion about spiritual authority, repentance, and the legal structure of healing can quietly block progress.Rather than chasing hype, this discussion walks through how healing unfolds step by step within a biblical framework.We also explore:• Why healing prayer sometimes feels ineffective • The difference between demonic influence and wounded parts of the human soul • Why treating those two realities the same causes confusion • Authority-based healing vs. gift-based healing • The role of repentance in restoring freedom • Challenges in the modern Church's approach to deliverance and healingIf you've ever thought, “I pray, but nothing changes,” this episode will give you clarity, language, and a practical path forward rooted in Scripture.➡️ Get Beatty Charmichael's book here: https://theprayeroffreedom.com/❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/deliverance➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgesslerfamilybandhttps://www.patreon.com/karlgesslerhttps://cash.app/$KarlgesslerSocial Media➡️Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089357625739➡️Telegram - https://t.me/FaithoftheFathers➡️Truth Social - https://truthsocial.com/@UCLOvq6O4aIXLrkKxwXkq3uA#repentance  #healing #deliverance #prayeoffreedom #beattycarmichaelSupport the show

How did Jesus function when He walked the earth — and what does that mean for us today? In this message, Chad Everett walks us through Luke 4, Luke 9, Philippians 2, and 2 Corinthians 4 to answer a crucial question: How did Jesus operate — and how are we meant to live now? Jesus was fully God. Yet He chose to empty Himself of divine privilege and function as a man anointed by the Holy Spirit. He moved in dunamis (power) and exusia (authority), not independently, but in submission to the Father through the Spirit. He did not operate from self. He operated from relationship. Then He gave that authority to His disciples. This message centers on one powerful truth from 2 Corinthians 4: 7: “We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.” The authority of Christ is not distant. It is not something we are waiting to fall from heaven. It is the reality of Christ dwelling within us. The question is not whether the treasure is present. The question is whether we are living from it. The Roads Church: https://theroads.church

Guest Speakers Lori and Barry Byrne from Nothing Hidden Ministries share on taking spiritual authority as sons and daughters of God.

Our culture has undervalued the significance of regularly gathering together for meals in our homes—something that impacts the spiritual formation of our families and the unfolding purposes of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses three biblical passages where Jesus teaches His audience "table manners": what it means to be a host or guest in someone's home. Hospitality, humility, and mercy are crucial components of expressing our faith, especially around the kitchen table, and Pastor Allen stresses the importance of valuing people and their invitations. God is inviting us to a more vivid faith—how will we respond?

Hebrews 13:17- "Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you."

When systems shake… when opinions change… when pressure rises… what still stands?In this week's More Than Conquerors, Terry and Reneé Mize teach on the unshakable foundation of real, working faith. Not emotional faith. Not borrowed faith. Covenant faith rooted in God's Word.You'll discover: Why faith must be built — not assumed How faith speaks before it sees Why your foundation determines your outcome How to stand firm when culture pushes back This isn't theory. It's how to build a life the devil cannot shake.

“Are you going to return the same way you came, or are you going to return in the dunamis of God?” In this message from the Spiritual Authority – Restored In Christ sermon series, Chad Everett walks through Luke 4 and reveals how Jesus modeled spiritual authority through the power of the Holy Spirit. After confronting temptation in the wilderness, Jesus did not return the same — He returned in the power of the Spirit, operating with both dunamis (miraculous power) and exusia (authority and jurisdiction). This teaching shows how Jesus responded to temptation with the Word — “It is written” — choosing truth over the lies of the enemy that often come through thoughts and feelings. From there, we see Jesus teaching in the synagogue, rebuking unclean spirits, healing sickness, and demonstrating that spiritual authority is not theoretical, but active and practical. Chad also challenges the Church to guard against familiarity and religion that dulls spiritual hunger. The goal is not entertainment or information alone, but training — equipping believers with skill to walk in the authority Jesus restored through the Holy Spirit. This message is a call to return differently — not in human strength, but in the power and authority God has made available to every believer. Scripture: Luke 4: 13–41 The Roads Church: https://theroads.church

Unless a believer responds to the nudge of the Holy Spirit and prays, God cannot intervene in a situation where Satan is seeking to steal, kill, and destroy. God must go through the church to work in the earth. In this message, Pastor talks about 3 things that Christians must do to exercise spiritual authority in their prayers.

In this episode of Extraordinary Living with Bill and Roger, Bill Gruhlkey continues our series on Vision and encourages listeners to step out of their comfort zones and address issues with spiritual authority. Drawing from Scriptures like Isaiah 53, 1 Peter 2:24, and Mark 16, Bill emphasizes the importance of believing that healing and blessings have already been provided through Jesus's sacrifice. He shares personal testimonies of overcoming challenges through faith and highlights the necessity of writing down visions and missions, as per God's instructions. The episode concludes with a prayer for spiritual awakening and a call to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Introduction and Call to Action 00:26 Welcome to Extraordinary Living 00:42 Biblical Teachings on Healing 03:47 The Power of Spiritual Authority 05:51 Personal Testimonies and Encouragement 14:14 Writing and Believing in Your Vision 22:11 Invitation to Accept Jesus 23:46 Partnering with the Ministry 26:04 Closing Remarks and Resources   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

Are demons capable of physical manifestation… and could hybrid genetics play a role?In this intense and controversial episode, we sit down with Bryan from Demon Erasers to explore reports of physical demonic encounters, hybrid bloodline theories, spiritual warfare, and the intersection of genetics and the supernatural.We dive into firsthand deliverance experiences, biblical interpretations of hybrid entities, and modern encounters that suggest spiritual beings may interact with the physical world more than most people realize. Bryan shares insights from his work confronting demonic oppression, possession cases, and how these encounters may connect to ancient biblical narratives involving Nephilim and genetic corruption.If you've ever wondered whether spiritual warfare extends beyond the unseen realm — this conversation challenges mainstream assumptions about demons, genetics, and the nature of spiritual authority.⚠️ Viewer discretion advised — mature spiritual and supernatural topics discussed.

Guest speaker David White continues the "Kingdom Now" series in Matthew 8, showing that wherever God's kingdom arrives, chaos is confronted—but comfort is challenged.He examines two powerful encounters: Jesus calming a violent storm on the Sea of Galilee, where panicked disciples question His care despite His presence, and Jesus casting demons from two violent men into a herd of pigs in Gentile territory. The restored men return to community, but the townspeople—upset by the economic loss—beg Jesus to leave, preferring familiar chaos to costly change.David stresses Jesus' absolute authority over external storms and internal oppression, yet following Him requires denying self and embracing discomfort rather than seeking ease. He contrasts “Couch Jesus” (comfort-focused) with “Coach Jesus” (growth-focused), urging the dangerous prayer: “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”—inviting God to confront chaos in marriages, families, finances, and mental health, while trusting Him through the inevitable challenges.Core truth: The kingdom is now—actively confronting chaos and challenging comfort—because Jesus loves us too much to leave us unchanged.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY | PROPHET SHEPHERD BUSHIRI

In this message, Pastor Karl transitions from the Sermon on the Mount into Matthew 8, emphasizing Jesus' supreme authority over the natural and supernatural realms. He highlights the ongoing reality of spiritual warfare against unseen forces of darkness (Ephesians 6:12), seen in Scripture and in current testimonies from Cuba where Christ's power delivers people from demonic oppression.Through three healings—a leper cleansed by Jesus' compassionate touch, a centurion's servant healed by a word of command, and Peter's mother-in-law restored to serve—Pastor Karl shows grace flowing freely from Jesus' sovereign choice, overcoming contamination, demanding faith, and calling for obedient response.The core truth: grace is free yet never cheap, and following Jesus is costly. Salvation is by grace through faith alone, but discipleship requires prioritizing the kingdom now, not later or with leftovers. Jesus challenges hearers: “You in?”—urging full surrender under His authority for cleansing, healing, and kingdom service..Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

This conversation is for Reiki practitioners, energy workers,coaches, activists, and anyone building something real in a world that wasn't fully designed for it. It's for people who can feel the gap between what's possible and what's happening, and who are ready to stop trying to riseabove the world and start actually integrating with it.We are being asked as energy workers to embody presence,wholeness, and sovereignty while living inside systems engineered for fragmentation. This isn't a personal failing - it's a structural contradiction that's impacting millions of Reiki practitioners and spiritual seekers right now.In this episode, we explore the five paradoxes that arebreaking Spiritual practitioners: the gap between witnessing wholeness and living in a culture obsessed with optimization, the collision between personal sovereignty and systems requiring external permission, the mismatch between energy literacy and a world built on incongruence, the tension between collective consciousness and radical individualism, and the impossible task of staying present in an infrastructure designed for your distraction.But here's what changes everything: these paradoxes aren'tproblems to transcend. They're the exact place where real transformation happens - if you understand them.Your spirituality isn't separate from your business. Yourauthority isn't granted by external systems. Your presence matters more than your performance. And the work you're meant to do doesn't require you to disappear whilst healing.By the end of this episode, you'll discover:-The Five Paradoxes Breaking Spiritual Practitioners -Why you might feel fragmented even though you practice presence, and how these aren't character flaws but structural misalignments between what you've been taught and the systems you're living within.-The Foundation Shift from Transcendence to Integration -How the old spiritual model of "rising above" the material world is actually keeping you stuck, and why real sovereignty is built in the world, not above it.-How Your Business Is a Spiritual Act - Why pricing well, setting boundaries, marketing your work, and building sustainable income aren't separate from your healing practice - they're extensions of it, and acts of reclaiming your authority.-The Difference Between Spiritual Bypassing and RealTransformation - How to stop trying to meditate your way out of real structural problems (I tried this for a long time!) and start building real, grounded structures that honor both your spirituality and your humanity.-What Reclamation Actually Looks Like - Concreteshifts in how you show up, how you build, how you claim authority, and how you create spaces where real consciousness can actually emerge - not throughtranscendence, but through integration.Spirit-led Reiki Pathway: https://www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathwayLifting the Veil on Reiki free workshop: https://www.reikiredefined.com/lifting-the-veil-on-reiki/Free community: https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-community/Get my free updates straight to your inbox: https://reiki-redefined.kit.com/6629991732You'll find me most on Tiktok @reikiredefined and the same handle on Instagram

Send us a textIn this deeply important episode, we are enhancing the voice of a survivor.Our special guest Jasmine shares her personal journey of being groomed and sexually assaulted by her former pastor, revealing how abuse can hide behind spiritual language, authority, and trust. Interviewed with great care by my wife, this conversation is not about outrage—it's about understanding, healing, and hope.She opens up about how she escaped that environment, how her faith was tested, and how God ultimately led her out and began restoring what was broken. Now, she's using her platform to help other women identify red flags, leave abusive situations, and reclaim their voices.This episode exists to remind listeners that abuse in the church is real, that silence protects predators—not survivors—and that God is not found in manipulation or control, but in truth, freedom, and healing.Listener discretion is advised due to the sensitive nature of this conversation.If you have experienced sexual abuse or sexual violence, please know this:What happened to you was not your fault.God is near to the brokenhearted, and He sees what others tried to hide.You do not have to walk through healing alone. God often brings restoration through safe people, wise counsel, and support.Confidential help is available 24/7:

What if the greatest obstacle to spiritual authority isn't the enemy—but ourselves? In this message, Chad Everett continues the Spiritual Authority — Restored in Christ series by addressing one of the most subtle and dangerous temptations believers face: the pride of life. Drawing from Luke 4, this teaching examines how Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit, led by the Spirit, and trained through temptation—and how His response reveals the path to true spiritual authority. This sermon challenges a common mindset in modern Christianity: living independently from God while still expecting His blessing. Through the temptation narrative, Chad shows that the pride of life is not merely arrogance or boasting, but self-rule—making decisions apart from God, trusting our own understanding, and asking God to bless choices we never submitted to Him. A key focus of this message is Psalm 91 and how Scripture can be misunderstood or misused when it is separated from relationship and obedience. Satan himself quoted Scripture to Jesus, but left out the condition of dwelling in God's presence. This teaching calls believers to examine whether they are pursuing the promises of God or the person of God. The Roads Church: https://theroads.church

What do you do when spiritual advice about your relationship leaves you feeling anxious, confused, or afraid of getting it wrong?In this episode of When You Don't Know, we talk about the tension many Christians experience when church leadership doesn't support their relationship — not for biblical reasons, but because of feelings, preferences, or a perceived “lack of peace.” For many, this creates deep relationship anxiety and the fear that disagreeing with leaders means disobeying God.We explore:• The difference between spiritual guidance and spiritual control• Why anxiety often shows up when obedience to leaders is confused with obedience to God• How God actually leads His people — and why fear, pressure, and urgency aren't part of His voice• What healthy spiritual leadership looks like in dating and relationshipsIf you've ever felt torn between your faith, your relationship, and your own discernment, this conversation is for you.You're not rebellious. You're not faithless. And you're not broken for wanting clarity and peace.

This episode explores the biblical concept of the “secret place,” emphasizing intentional solitude and prayer as the primary arena where identity as sons and daughters of God is formed, drawing from Matthew 6 and Psalms to show that true spiritual transformation does not happen in public, but in hidden communion with the Father. The speaker contrasts modern culture's fixation on noise, self‑promotion, emotional validation, and constant stimulation with God's invitation to silence, obedience, and submission, teaching that the secret place is not for self‑care or emotional relief, but for dying to self and becoming like Christ. Through personal stories, Scripture, historical Christian voices, and psychological research, the episode argues that freedom from fear, clarity of calling, and spiritual authority are birthed through faithful, disciplined time alone with God, where trust is built, idols are dismantled, and God's will takes precedence over personal feelings or ambition

The purpose of prayer and your purpose are connected. God created us for fellowship with him, and to have dominion over the earth. Join us as we discover how our purpose as people and the purposes of prayer are connected. We discuss how spiritual authority works and how to use it.

Before we agree…Before we share…Before we open the door…Before we give something credibility…Before we let something shape our thinking…Before we call it “no big deal”…Wisdom asks, What is this doing to my spirit?Discernment demands we ask: Is this harmless — or quietly harmful?Key Scripture: Matthew 10:16 — “Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.”In Part 3 of this important series, Terry and Reneé Mize help you recognize subtle influences that erode discernment, weaken authority, and open the door to spiritual harm. We're called to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves” — and today's culture demands that kind of clarity more than ever.Featured Resource:Basics of Faith — Terry Mize• Physical CD: https://shop.terrymize.com/products/basics-of-faith-series• Audio Download: https://shop.terrymize.com/products/basics-of-faith-audio-downloadConnect With Us:Website: https://terrymize.comGive: https://terrymize.com/giveStore: https://shop.terrymize.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/terrymizeministriesMore Than Conquerors TV: https://terrymize.tv

What is the purpose of the local church? Not entertainment—but training. Church attendance is the door—but once you're in, there's training that needs to take place. In this message, Chad Everett lays out a clear mission: to enter people into the fullness of Christ and train warrior disciples—not just church attenders. Coming to church is the door. Discipleship is what happens after you walk in. Using Luke 4 as a masterclass from Jesus, Chad shows how spiritual authority is trained, strengthened, and activated. Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit, led by the Holy Spirit, and anchored in the Word of God—and He models how to stand firm when the enemy questions identity, offers counterfeit shortcuts, and attempts to trap us through offense. You'll hear why biblical fasting isn't religious hype or church tradition, but normal discipleship: a time of consecration where we replace physical food with spiritual food—prayer and the Word—so our spirit leads instead of our flesh. And you'll be confronted with a defining truth: the enemy's strategy is deception, not overpowering. When we know who we are in Christ—and who Christ is in us—the enemy loses ground. If this message stirred something in you, respond to it. Ask the Holy Spirit where you've been listening to your flesh instead of following His lead. Identify any lie or offense that's been limiting your spiritual authority—and answer it with God's Word. Choose one place this week to say no to the enemy and yes to God.

In this week's More Than Conquerors, Terry and Reneé Mize address a vital question every believer must learn to ask: Is this harmless—or is it spiritually harmful?From attitudes and influences to entertainment, culture, and everyday choices, this message highlights the importance of discernment and guarding what we allow into our hearts and homes.

What does it really mean to walk in spiritual authority? In this episode, I sit down with my Aunt Ruth — pastor, counselor, and teacher — to talk about identity, intimacy with God, and living with confidence rooted in Christ.

"We will be led by whatever spirit that we are full of." — Pastor Chad Everett In this message from Spiritual Authority – Restored In Christ, Pastor Chad Everett walks through Ephesians 4: 11–13 and Luke 4: 1 to show God's design for the local church: not to entertain people, but to enter-train them—bringing believers into the fullness of Christ and equipping them to live as mature disciples Monday through Saturday. You'll hear a clear, Scripture-based foundation for spiritual authority and why the key isn't willpower—it's being filled with the Holy Spirit. Pastor Chad traces a powerful progression through Acts, showing the Holy Spirit coming upon believers to empower them, and calls the church back to reverence, altar response, and real transformation—not just “a good service.” If you've been battling repeated patterns, unwanted thoughts, or feeling spiritually stuck, this message will help you see the issue differently: a “filled” problem becomes a “led” problem—and Jesus wants to fill you again.

In today's Christmas-season program, we're talking about something every believer needs right now: the power of targeted, laser-focused prayer. Terry and René share how the Word of God—spoken with accuracy and authority—can break through darkness, heal the sick, rescue families, and release God's covenant power into real situations.From life-and-death miracles on the streets to praying Scripture with precision, this episode shows why your words matter and how the prayer of faith makes “tremendous power available.” As we step deeper into the Christmas missions season, we're also celebrating what partners helped accomplish worldwide—water wells, tractors for orphanages, vehicles for pastors, rescue centers, and Christmas for children in 37 nations.This is the perfect time to align your faith, sharpen your words, and use the authority God placed in your mouth.Scripture Focus:James 5:16 • Hebrews 4:12 • Hosea 14:2 • Psalm 107Partner & Giving Links:

In this week's More Than Conquerors, Terry and Reneé Mize teach on the importance of speaking covenant authority in a world that constantly resists truth.From the words we speak to the prayers we pray, spiritual authority is not accidental—it's rooted in God's Word and exercised with faith. Terry and Reneé explain how believers can stand firm when culture, fear, or opposing voices push back against biblical truth.This message will encourage you to:• Speak faith-filled words anchored in Scripture• Pray with focus, confidence, and authority• Live from covenant promises—not circumstances• Walk boldly in victory through ChristIf you've felt pressure, resistance, or uncertainty, this program will remind you where your authority truly comes from.

What if God isn't who we were taught to believe? In this encore episode of The No BS Spiritual Book Club, Sandie Sedgbeer revisits a conversation that continuesto challenge assumptions about faith, scripture, and spiritual authority. Her guest is Fr. Sean O'Laoire—Irish priest, mystic, clinical psychologist, and spiritual storyteller—whose willingness to question doctrine ultimately led to exile from institutional religion. Drawing from decades of lived experience, Fr. Sean speaks candidly about biblical mistruths, the dangers of rigid theology, and the difference between observing faith and participating in it. He invites listeners to move beyond belief systems and into direct relationship with Spirit—experienced, not explained. Blending Christian mysticism, transpersonal psychology, and a deeply human understanding of consciousness, this conversation explores what it means to live inside a field of Spirit rather than merely talk about it.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm discussing my changing views on Israel, Donald Trump, and Candace Owens and why principles grounded in Scripture must always matter more than personalities.I'll discuss how easy it is to get swept up in political figures, influencers, and movements… all while forgetting that God alone is who we should be following. The devil is just like a stalker prowling around, watching, scheming, seeking someone to devour. And in these chaotic times, he's using deception, manipulation, and emotional brainwashing to pull people into confusion and ultimately into Hell.In this episode, we're talking about how the synagogue of Satan is operating openly today, pushing narratives meant to distract and divide. I am urging my listeners to stay anchored in the Word, remain spiritually alert, and refuse to be seduced by personalities, platforms, or “conservative celebrities” who very well may not be aligned with God's truth.Ultimately, we all need to return to the Bible (now more than ever) and to guard our minds and souls as the days grow darker and darker.--https://www.bible.com/

You will hear what it looks like to move away from black and white thinking and into principle-based living, where you get clear on the sexual values you want to live by and make decisions from integrity rather than fear.
