    Are We Spiritual Hitmen? Balaam, Balak, and the Danger of Misguided Obedience

    ⸻ 🎙️ Episode Title: Are We Spiritual Hitmen? Balaam, Balak, and the Danger of Misguided Obedience ⸻ Episode Summary: This week on Spirit of Truth Podcast, we dive into one of the most bizarre and sobering Torah portions—Balak. Why did God allow Balaam to continue down a path He had already forbidden? Can we walk in obedience on the outside while harboring rebellion in the heart? And how often are we guilty of trying to bless what God has not blessed? In this vulnerable and prophetic episode, Melissa shares her own misstep that mirrors Balaam’s journey—a cautionary tale of double-mindedness, spiritual danger, and divine mercy. Through Balaam’s donkey, an angel in the road, and an unexpected song of blessing, we uncover the truth that not everything that looks religious is righteous. God desires obedience, not performance—and sometimes, the most dangerous thing we can do is act too quickly in what we think is love. If you’ve ever struggled with discerning God’s will, or been tempted to move ahead before He says “go,” this episode is for you.

    Life & Death in the Wilderness: Faith vs Fear

    Summary: This week on Spirit of Truth Podcast we step into one of the most mysterious Torah portions—Chukat—where life and death collide in the wilderness. From the ashes of the Red Heifer to the death of Miriam, from Moses striking the rock to the bronze serpent lifted high, every moment points us to Yeshua the Messiah. In this episode, Melissa unpacks how God brings purity through death, blessing through surrender, and healing through facing what we fear most. What looks like paradox is actually prophecy—inviting us to stand, watch, and believe. Even in our own battles with loss, sickness, and uncertainty, the lesson is the same: don’t look back, don’t give in to fear—look up and live.

    Korah’s Rebellion, the Promised Land, and the Danger of Dividing Israel

    🎙️ Episode Title: Korah’s Rebellion, the Promised Land, and the Danger of Dividing Israel 📖 Episode Summary: In this urgent and convicting episode of Spirit of Truth Podcast, we take a deep dive into two timely and prophetic messages. First, we unpack the Torah portions Shelach and Korach (Numbers 13–18), exploring the rebellion of the Israelites in the wilderness — from the ten faithless tests of God to Korah’s direct challenge to divine authority. What kept them from entering the Promised Land? Unbelief, grumbling, and spiritual pride. What keeps us from entering ours? You may be surprised. Then, we shift to current headlines — as talk of a Two-State Solution in Israel resurfaces — and offer a biblical response. With scripture as our lens, we examine why dividing the land of Israel is not merely political, but spiritual defiance against God’s covenant. What does the Word say about those who split His land? What should believers do in response? This episode is a call to examine our own hearts, our obedience, and our endurance in these last days. Are we living for God, or just His blessings? Do we want Him... or just His gifts? 🕊️ Let this be your wake-up call. 📖 Let the Word be your mirror. 🙏 Let this moment be the one where you return — fully.

    🎧 Episode Title: "Ruth, the Redeemed: A Shavuot Story of Covenant and Redemption" 📖 Episode Summary: In this special Shavuot teaching, Melissa Collins unpacks the Book of Ruth—not just as a love story, but as a prophetic portrait of redemption, covenant, and the Gentile bride's invitation into the family of God.

You'll discover why Ruth is read during Shavuot and how her story mirrors the gospel and the calling of the Church today. Whether you’re preparing for baptism, reflecting on your own journey of faith, or simply seeking deeper understanding, this message will stir your heart with awe for God’s redemptive plan.

    Return, Redeem, and Remember: A Covenant Worth Choosing

    In this week’s episode of the Spirit of Truth Podcast, we bring the book of Leviticus to a powerful close with a double portion teaching from Behar-Bechukotai (Leviticus 25–27). What starts with a challenge to walk in God’s statutes ends with a heart-warming reminder of our worth in His eyes. Melissa walks us through the blessings and curses of Leviticus 26—God’s covenant terms that are still very much alive today. Obedience is not a burden; it’s a love language. Rebellion leads to consequences, but repentance always leads to restoration. In chapter 27, we shift into the language of redemption—vows, values, and voluntary dedication. What we give to God matters, but even more, He shows us we are redeemable, restorable, and returnable—no matter how far we’ve drifted. 🔹 Are you walking in covenant or compromise? 🔹 Do you know how deeply valued you are by God? 🔹 Have you been distant—and need to come home? Then this episode is for you. We also reflect on connected prophetic passages (Isaiah 61, Jeremiah 17), Yeshua’s fulfillment in Luke 4, and how the New Testament affirms our calling to walk in obedience and truth—not out of fear, but out of love. ⸻ Featured Scriptures: Leviticus 25:1–27:34, Isaiah 61, Jeremiah 17, Luke 4:16–21, John 14:15–21, Galatians 6:7–10, 1 Peter 1:18–19 Closing Encouragement: You are not too far gone. You were bought with a price. Choose blessing. Choose obedience. Choose Him.

    The Tabernacle: Guarding our Walk

    In this episode of Spirit of Truth Podcast, we dive deep into the layers of holiness within the Temple and how they mirror our walk with God. From the outer courts to the Holy of Holies, each step closer to His presence demands a higher level of sanctification. What does that mean for us today? Join me as I reflect on my visit to the life-size replica of the Tabernacle in Lancaster, PA, and explore how leadership in the body of Christ comes with great responsibility—often misunderstood as privilege. I also address recent opposition I faced regarding the pronunciation of God’s name, emphasizing that true holiness is not found in debates but in the fruit of our lives. We’ll also discuss the enemy’s tactics, including division and distraction, and how we must be vigilant in spiritual warfare. With scriptural insights from Ephesians, Luke, and Mark, we’ll uncover the importance of unity, the power of the name we carry, and the necessity of standing firm in our faith. Are we too busy fighting each other to see the real enemy at work? Let’s put on our armor, stand together, and walk in the example of Messiah. Scriptures Covered: Ephesians 6:10-12, Luke 10:19, Mark 16:15-18, Luke 9:1-2, and more. Tune in, be encouraged, and take a stand! 🎙🔥
