Bible Threads With Dr. Bruce Becker Time of Grace Ministry

Lying isn't all that serious, is it? 
In this episode, Dr. Bruce Becker takes us to a war zone involving Ananias, Sapphira, the apostle Peter, and Satan. This is the third war zone in this series where we see Satan influencing human hearts. Satan tempted Ananias and Sapphira to lie about something that was initially good and right. Sadly, we hear about the consequences of their lie and how God may have used it to bless the early church. If you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your support?

The devil is like a skilled boxer. He has a one-two punch.
In this episode, Dr. Bruce Becker takes us to Jerusalem during what we know as Holy Week. During that week, "Satan entered Judas" on two different occasions to influence Judas to betray Jesus. Dr. Becker will explain what that refers to and how it is different from the many examples in the New Testament of demon possession. If Satan can enter into people, how do we keep Satan from entering us? By staying connected to Jesus!  If you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your support? Thank you!

The devil never plays fair. He likes to serve up his temptations when we are the weakest.
In this episode, Dr. Bruce Becker takes us to a desert war zone where the devil tempted Jesus who was fasting for a period of 40 days and 40 nights. Although the devil tempted Jesus throughout the 40 days, both gospel authors, Matthew and Luke, focus on three specific temptations. With each temptation, Jesus relied on the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, to counter the devil's assaults. When the devil tempts us, remember that the same sword of the Spirit is in our hands too. If you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your support?

Satan is a prosecuting attorney. He likes to bring charges against God's people.
In this episode, Dr. Bruce Becker takes us to a war zone where, in a vision, the prophet Zechariah witnesses a courtroom scene. Joshua the High Priest, dressed in filthy clothes, is accused by Satan of being unworthy to stand in the presence of a holy God. The angel of the Lord comes to Joshua's defense, declares him not guilty of sin, and gives Joshua new clothes to wear. Satan's case against Joshua fell apart. It's a picture of God's amazing grace! If you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your support? Thank you!

Can Satan put thoughts into our minds? Yes. He can and he does.
In this episode, Dr. Bruce Becker takes us to a war zone where the man, whom the Bible calls "a man after God's own heart," experienced a deadly downfall. King David was seduced by Satan into taking a forbidden census. As a result, David and the people of Israel experienced the consequences of David's foolish actions. Yet, as the story unfolds, we see the love and mercy of the Lord God.
