    Never Give Up!

    (Ephesians 6:12) In this week's episode, God's Word of Truth says plain, clear and simple we are not fighting against human beings we are fighting against powers of evil in heavenly places. God calls this demonic attacks. Paracusia - hearing voices, sounds, whispers that aren't there in reality. Visuals - seeing objects, people, animals and patterns that aren't there in reality. Phantosmia - smelling orders like burning flesh/something burning that aren't there in reality. Phantageusia - bitter or strange tastes without having anything in your mouth. Tactile - the feeling of something touching you when there is nothing there in reality. Somatic - the feeling of internal functions being physically moved inside of you but nothing is happening in reality. The devil has his faithful workers deceiving the world but God has His believers faithfully exposing wicked in high places. The enemy of God knows who we are; we have the power and authority to trample over evil. The devil will always attempt to attack our minds so that we don't lean on God but lean to our own understanding. Adding to God's Word of Truth when The Word gives details is leaning to your own understanding.

    Stop Reneging (Stay Out of Conditional Commitments)

    (Ecclesiastes 5:4-5) In this week's episode, God wants us to be mentally and physically free from soul tied debts (death). Once we are free do not allow the enemy of God to get us trapped up again in doing evil. The enemy of God whispers sounding like a million snakes hissing; telling us lies twisted in the Truth of Christ for our lies. "You'll never be nothing. You'll never have a faithful spouse. God can't ever love you. You'll always be in/out of prison". Ignore the lies and listen to the Truth of God for your life. "You are somebody. You will have a faithful spouse. You will be productive in society. You can overcome addictions". God doesn't want us to make promises when we're in trouble and as soon as we are free we renege on those promises. That is called conditional commitment. The devil delights in our broken promises and lies, then we are like him, evil. Instead start asking God to help you do good not evil and stay connected to Jesus Christ. Always remember that whatever you struggle with that is your enemy! When you commit to what you love regardless if it is good or evil; and you do what you love, it no longer is a struggle for you. You will be happy doing it and not feeling guilty about it. Commit to doing good, watch how God comes to help you and bless you. Commit to doing evil and watch how the devil comes to claim you. It is then that when you commit you will stop reneging on the Lord.

    Total Devotion

    (Luke 16:13) In this week's episode, Jesus taught a parable that total devotion can never be split between 2 opposing forces - good (God/spiritual life) or sin (The devil/spiritual death). Tactics used by the God's adversary is to get us to secretly pledge allegiance to the kingdom of darkness. Hidden rituals to pledge allegiance to Satan is to believe the lies that The Word(The Bible) is man made or praying to a Spirit, God, is not real. The devil himself is a spirit and wants us to worship him as a god. That is why he uses hidden practices/rituals to get us to secretly pledge allegiance to him. This black mass practice is a strategic plan to get us into the kingdom of darkness and out of the safety of God. When we reject God's Truth, God's Details and God's Heart's Desires for our lives, we are open vessels and unaware participants of the kingdom of darkness rituals. The adversary of God wants us to be spiritually blind so that we will be willing servants to the devil. Engaging in practices and lifestyles contrary to God is hidden and deceptive and as ancient as time to get us to openly confess to the kingdom of hell. But The Parakletos is our Defense Attorney. The Name and Blood of Jesus Christ not only covers us but it is our only Weapon the enemy of God can never penetrate and defeat. God's Infinite Power can save us all! The Word of God has full Authority over our atmosphere. The Word of God is an Authority to anchor our minds and will anchor our hearts in God's Truth. The Blood of Jesus will have our minds solid and renewed when we call on Him to save us. When we allow, accept and obey Jesus' correction we can walk in The Perfection of Jesus Christ. SCRIPTURES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Luke 16:13 – Total devotion can never be split between 2 opposing forces. Total devotion will have you in total obedience to good (God/spiritual life) or total obedience to sin (spiritual death). 2 Corinthians 4:4, 1 Corinthians 1:18, Romans 6: 15-18 – The devil himself wants us to dismiss The Spirit of God but pledge allegiance to him by using hidden tactics and lies. The devil wants to keep us spiritually blind so that we do not totally rely on the Mission of The Redeeming Blood of Jesus. 2 Timothy 2: 25b-26 – Rejecting God's Truth for our lives, we are open to demonic spiritual attacks.2 Corinthians 12:9 – Jesus' Grace is sufficient for us all. Proverbs 18:10, Mark 15-18, Psalm 91:5-6, Luke 10:18-19, James 4:7 – The Word of God and The Blood of Jesus gives us the Authority (Power) over the devil and his dark kingdom. Revelation 12:10-11 – When we call on The Parakletos; when we rely on The Blood of Jesus; we can then walk in The Perfection of Jesus Christ. GOLDEN KEYS: Recognizing the total authority of The Blood of Jesus will have us walking in His Perfection.The devil wants to keep us spiritually blinded so that we can secretly pledge allegiance to the kingdom darkness.The Word of God and The Blood of Jesus means death to self. We can denounce the devil's kingdom no matter what we have done in sin by accepting The Authority of The Cross to be The Authority in our lives.

    The Power of Justice and Mercy

    (Isaiah 30:18) In this week's episode, God wants us to be persistent in prayer, praise and total reliance on Jesus Christ our Parakletos. God declares us not guilty because the penalty of sin has been paid for by the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Dikaios: God is entirely upright, fair, impartial and keeps a perfect standard of what is right. Dikaiosyne: The quality of justice and rightness. We can never achieve this state of being on our own. But God can! Hilasmos: is the offering that turned away judgement and completely wipes away guilt and shame. Jesus defend us believers by providing His Truth through the Power of The Holy Word. The devil lies and deceives us using God's Word that created him. He will twists those same Holy Words to get us to fall out of the loving arms of God The Father. So no longer should any of us feel unworthy of God's Love. Jesus paid the full cost and suffered for the penalty of our sins. We are worth every scar, every nail that pierced Jesus' skin, every insult, lie and whip lashing He endured because He loves us. The selfless Love of Jesus will have us standing strong in the face of evil when we trust and depend on The Word Of God. SCRIPTURES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Isaiah 30:18 – The Lord wants to have mercy on us. God is always fair. Blessed are those who wait on God.Romans 3:24-26 – Grace is a free gift and given to us when God makes us right in Him. Jesus Christ's death and resurrection shows humanity that we are made right and our sins are forgiven. Exodus 34:5-7 – The Lord has great love and faithfulness towards humanity. But the Lord will not forget to punish those that are guilty - those that refuse to accept Jesus Christ - for generation after generation.1 John 4:10, 1 John 2:1-2 – Love is God sending His Son to give his life to pay for our sins. Jesus, The Blameless One, gave his life selflessly for the whole world. Ephesians 6:10-18 – Be strong in the Lord and fight the good fight of faith by putting on the full armor of God. GOLDEN KEYS: The belt of Truth: will keep you from falling for lies and deception and hold us together.Breastplate of Righteousness: will protect our hearts and conscience from the feelings of guilt, shame and condemnation from our sins.Shoes of the Gospel of Peace: allows us to stand firm against fear and anxiety. Then we will be ready to share this peace with others.Shield of Faith: will protect our minds from doubt, insecurities and despair. It reminds us of who we are in Christ Jesus.Sword of The Spirit: will cut out deception and combat spiritual evil attacks. Jesus stood strong when the devil attempted to tempt Him and so can we.

    Jesus The Good Shepherd

    (Matthew 11:28-30) In this week's episode, God wants us to follow Him, His Ways, His Laws and His Word. The Bible often refers to us as sheep and Jesus as The Shepherd. Sheep will follow a lead sheep over a cliff and in a ditch if there was no shepherd to guide them - just like humans. If a heavy sheep happens to fall and land on its back, that sheep will not be able to get up. So the shepherd will have to roll it over to get it up. If there was no shepherd around when it falls, the sheep will kick its legs causing toxin stomach gases and will eventually die if it stays on its back kicking and crying out (bleating) - just like humans. Sheep are notorious for panicking over the most simple and the smallest thing - just like humans. This is why God wants for us to stay with Him. And for those who say "I am not a follower" Yes you are! You followed your own evil ways right into danger and outside of God's Protection. God is getting ready to rescue us again from the enemy - the enemy that we allowed to walk us into a trap/ditch or right over the cliff. God is getting ready to heal our physical bodies. Jesus The Good Shepherd is waiting on us to cry out to Him to rescue us from our own evil ways that caused us to fall and land on our backs - kicking and crying causing us to swell up full of toxins. The devil knows we are like sheep, easy to follow what looks good, that is why he sends those thoughts to do things our way. But when we follow Jesus Christ The Good Shepherd with a renewed mind, we will always be on the Right Path. SCRIPTURES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Matthew 11:28-30 – Jesus Christ is waiting on us to come to Him for rest. He wants us to learn His gentle and humble at heart Ways.Matthew 16:24 – To follow Jesus in Righteousness we must forget our evil ways and walk in The Truth of God. Matthew 15:13-14 – Jesus tells us that what is not planted in holiness will get uprooted. Isaiah 53:6 – Not one person can say they have never followed anyone/anything off God's Path. Psalm 23:3 – God wants to renew our lives and lead us on His Path for His name's sake.Matthew 12:43-45 – Be the willing soul that relies on God for strength. Be the person that will complete the mission God has ordained you for. Tell others about the Good News of Jesus Christ and God's Grace.Romans 12:2 – Do not live the way the world still lives and the way you used to live. Change your way of thinking by renewing your mind to follow God.Ephesians 4:23-24 – The renewed mind will have us thinking and living truly good and holy just as God is.Psalm 51:10 – A declaration to God to create a pure heart and a right spirit again with God.1 Peter 5:6-7 – Be humble under God's powerful hand so that He can lift you up in times of trouble.GOLDEN KEYS: Remain in the green pastures and walking besides calm waters with The Shepherd.Do not allow the enemy to lead you astray ever again.The devil knows how to disguise the Truth of God with lies. This is why Jesus came to be our Good Shepherd.

    Solid, Perfect Purpose

    (Proverbs 4:23-27) In this week's episode, God wants us to be careful about what we say and what we think. He wants us to stay focused no matter what. The enemy of God loves to cause confusion. The devil loves when we are distracted. That distracted focus is an act of disobedience and an open doorway for Satan to come in to get us out of alignment with God. Rasha is a person who deliberately actively chooses to fight against God's instructions/purpose - whether conscious or unconscious - that is disobedience. God's people must not focus on human validation but seek Him and please Him, God. The devil has a purpose and it is to get humanity in a place of disobedience which is against Jesus' strategic plan as our Savior. Jesus' prize is to be humanity's Redeemer. He loves us just that much that he was born just to die for our deliberate acts of disobedience. And yes, it hurts to be wrongfully accused, lied on, abused, mistreated, betrayed and abandoned but God says to seek to please Him not a human! We must always serve The Lord with chara - gladness. Chara is tied directly to God's charis. This chara will have you steady, unmovable, unshakable, sturdy and sure in your faith in Christ Jesus. The devil himself will not have the open doorway when we depend on God's Presence in our lives, not the presence of disobedient people in our lives. It is at this moment that true joy - euphrosyne - will take over on the inside of us. So recognize that God is good, wonderful and faithful. God is our solid, perfect purpose that will defeat the enemy so that we can complete our journey to the Land of Blessings. SCRIPTURES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Proverbs 4:23-27 – God wants us to be careful in our thinking so that our words won't come out as lies. We must stay focused on doing everything that please God, the right things are not evil.Galatians 1:10 – Never allow people to validate your life. Always please God so that you can be called a servant of Christ. 1 Thessalonians 2:4 – God will judge us worthy to be trusted with The Good News when we speak how He wants us to speak. This act of obedience is not trying to please not one human in our lives; it is to please God.Psalm 100:2 – Worship The Lord with joy - euphrosyne. Come before Him with happy songs!Colossians 3:23-24 – Work hard to please God, with everything in you. Do not work hard at getting people to like you, approve of you or want to be around you. Remembering this will get you a reward that is only meant for those He calls obedient and His people. Christ is The Master we serve.Acts 20:24 – Paul wanted us to get in a place to where serving Jesus Christ is the only focused act of obedience. We should not focus on what humans can do to us because it can never compare to the Love of God and God's Word for our lives.Psalm 118:1 – We must give thanks to God as we recognize that God is good and His faithful love endures forever.GOLDEN KEYS: Let nothing distract your purpose in God.Do not seek human validation for that is disobedience.The devil knows that if we can get distracted then we can't please God.Watch Your Way: To watch our recorded versions, download Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/033yDLO7L6tSxbxcufKvIN Scriptures quoted are taken from the Good News Translation (GNT) © 1992 American Bible Society; International Children’s Bible® (ICB) © 1986, 2015 Thomas Nelson; New International Reader’s Version® (NIrV®) © 1995, 2014 Biblica, Inc.™ All translations used by permission.

    Go Back and Get On The Right Path

    (Luke 15: 4-7) In this week's episode, God is telling us to go back and get on the Right Path. We are so quick to go on that path that looks good and feels good to us. That path will have all the: bells, whistles, the lights, camera and action, the excitement, parties, clubbing, the pills, the powder, the weed, the fetty, the bars, the M30s, the molly, that pink 'caine, the lean, that special k or whatever it is you choose. That path is the path of destruction! The Right Path is often lonely, it seems desolate and it's too quiet - so we think. It is on this Right Path that we will be in our true life; the life that God predestined for us. Jesus came to give us life and expound on certain Old Testament lessons. The Old Testament is vital, but, it was a temporary placeholder until Jesus came to live, die and rise as the blood sacrifice. Jesus is our 2026 and beyond update. Jesus came to unlock our true purpose which is to function how God intended for us to function. So do not be afraid! God will send His Angels to protect you from the father of deceptive light. Jesus told us to command the mountain (evil obstacles) to move out of our way so that we can get back on the Right Path. You have been given the permission to tell the enemy of God to move out of your way; so that you can go back and get on God's Chosen Path for your life. Forbid! Ban! Outlaw! Disallow! Bar! Veto! That fake light, that fake joy, that fake beauty will come fully armored and beautifully adorned in fake eloquence. So get in God's Word right now so that you will never be fooled again by the deceiver and father of lies. SCRIPTURES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Luke 15: 4-7 – Jesus is The Good Shepherd that will stop and go get that (1) that went astray/away from Him. Jesus is willingly and actively still in love despite our current and past sins. Matthew 7: 13 and 14 – The path that leads to destruction is filled with fake: exquisite, wonderful, beautiful, marvelous, glamor - The deceptive light. The Right Path - Jesus Christ - we often associate as lonely, seems desolate and too quiet. This Right Path will lead us to God's destiny, our blessings. Luke 24:27, Matthew 5: 21-24 – Jesus came to fulfill The Word.Matthew 16:19, Matthew 18:18 – Jesus' life, death and resurrection gave us the permission to tell the enemy to move out of my way!Isaiah 41: 10-13, 2 Timothy 1:7, 1 Peter 2: 9 and 10, Psalm 23: 3 and 4 – Do Not Be Afraid of the deceiver of Jesus Christ because God has chosen us to be His people. Go back and get on the Right Path that leads to God's blessings for your life.GOLDEN KEYS: Jesus Christ is the Right Path to God.You can still be found and rescued by Jesus Christ, humanity's Redeemer.Evil, the father of lies, the deceptive light wants us to remain on the wide and fake lit path. On that path is destruction and eternal death.Watch Your Way: To watch recorded versions, download Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/033yDLO7L6tSxbxcufKvIN Scripture quotations are from the Good News Translation (GNT - Today’s English Version, Second Edition) © 1992 American Bible Society, used by permission.

    Unknown Rituals: Witchcraft in the church

    (Mark 11:23-24) In this week's episode, we talk about God's Word being the sound doctrine to lead us in His Will. The Bible was not written to name it and claim it or speak it into existence! Jesus never said to do such rituals. We are not creators, God is The Only Creator. The adversary knows that we can never speak (voice) a specific named person, place or thing into manifestation. This is creating and being independent from God The Creator. The adversary knows that we will then be out of alignment with God's Will for our lives. The devil knows how to put twists on God's Word to get us out of alignment with God. Jesus does want us to say to the mountain (huge obstacle) to move out of our way so that we can get to our God ordained destiny. God says we can speak life - God's existence. or we can speak death -the adversary's existence. Speaking (voicing) the name it and claim it for specific people, places or things to be created (conjured up) is a connection to witchcraft and church leaders must stop with these demonic practices. SCRIPTURES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Mark 11: 22, Mark 11:23-24 – Jesus' teachings on fulfilling God's Word to speak to any obstacle to move out of our way when we are on God's Path to our ordained destiny.Acts 28:3-6 – God allowing Paul to be a living example of moving an obstacle out of the way so that the mission can be completed. God is the Creator; not Paul, not us.1 Timothy 6:3-5, 9 -10 – Warns us that teaching other doctrines, us accepting those doctrines as sound doctrines and living our lives on these doctrines promotes evil. Jesus' teachings promotes godliness and will have us in direct alignment with God's Will.James 4:3, 13-17 – Jesus' teachings will have us asking God with the right motives. The adversary will always twist God's Word and our desires will always be evil manifested (witchcraft).Luke 12:15 – Jesus is warning us to be on guard against evils that will manifest if we accept greed.GOLDEN KEYS: God wants us to depend totally on Him to Create who and what should be in our lives.Alignment with God is the most powerful weapon against the adversary.Jesus never said to create manifestations, He said to tell any obstacle to move out of the way so that can get to our God ordained destiny.
