In a world that seems to be falling apart at the seems, with all the evil being vamped up, no doubt would leave many people understandably raising the question if God is really in control or not, or if He ditched His people. In today's episode I'm going to point something out that most people overlook in the Bible - at least I did when I first started reading it - that gives us the bigger picture of how this even happened and how we got to where we are being in such a fallen world, which comes from the Gospel of Matthew 4:1-11

Now, if you're familiar with scripture, this is the temptation of Jesus, which seems like this has nothing to do with what today's message entails. But like I mentioned, there's a little tid-bit in there that's basically a red flag which is why I find this scripture fitting to discuss, because it gives us the starting point to it all, and moreover, a solution that Jesus gives us.

Please note that this is my personal interpretation of the scripture to the best of my current knowledge and understanding. I encourage anyone to please check and verify as the scripture encourages all believers to do so. There may be times where I have overlooked and/or misunderstood information by mistake which is why verifying is important if you feel lead by the Holy Spirit to do so.

We are living in a time where the majority of people, including secular "Christians," have become a little too comfortable, not realizing that there's still events to take place that were prophesied in the Bible. In this message, I'm going to discuss one of those events that the church has long been waiting for, the rapture, which comes from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

This episode discusses a multitude of areas that address the definition along with several examples, the reason why it needs to take place, the effects of this event, as in not just with our bodies, but the effects that it will have on the earth which lead to further events that are also still in line to take place. Additionally, to provide comfort and proof to anyone who believes it's something believers will endure, that actually, it's nothing the church is appointed for....so it's a highly detailed, very eye-opening message that should result in our desire to go witness to others the good news of Jesus so that they may not get left behind.

Most of us are blessed to have a house to live in, but most of us also day dream of having a much bigger house, i.e. a mansion. Well, when we look into scripture, many people get excited and are banking on what Jesus said; believing that they're going to basically live in some sort of luxurious dwelling unit when we pass on. In this episode, I'm going to discuss a couple major talking points coming from the Gospel of John 14:1-7, with the first being what kind of dwelling unit, or mansion rather, that we'll ultimately live in. Which for some it could be rather exciting, while for others it could be rather disappointing. The other subject is the reason for that new mansion, or dwelling unit, which leads into the next scheduled episode regarding the rapture, being the next event on the prophetic calendar so stay tuned!

As we read the Word of God, we see things that may seem contradictory, leaving us spiritually insecure, and one of those things many lack their security and confidence in, is retaining their salvation. Due to the different beliefs within various denominations, I wanted to dig deep into scripture to see what the Bible tells us plainly and consistently and share them with you, so that you can decide for yourself as well as what I believe based on the clarity and consistency of Jesus' statements throughout the Bible. In this episode, the main scripture I'll be reading from comes from the Gospel of John 10:22-30.

Prayer can be such a touchy and/or sensitive topic due to the varying feelings and experiences many people have with it. However, many are convinced that a lot of scripture means exactly what it says without having a full understanding of the context. Therefore treating prayer more like a toy rather than an effective tool.

In this episode, I'm pulling a verse from the Gospel of John 14:14 that could immediately trigger an untrained reader to have the idea that scripture like this is meant to fulfill the desires of their hearts when there's so much more, as in on the contrary. Living with a misguided understanding about the true meaning of the context, is the starting point to a failing prayer life. This ultimately leaves the reader disappointed, even believing a variety of thoughts that Satan plants in our heads that Jesus doesn't care, we're worthless, we don't have enough faith, etc. All that said, is why I unpack this verse to it's fullest potential, so that anyone could have a fresh perspective and a reboot in their prayer life to be successful from here on out.

When it comes to our Christian walk, sometimes we need some visual examples or scenarios to helps us stay on track and/or to get closer to Jesus, particularly during our hardships. However, when it comes to hardships and suffering, it's exceptionally hard to think or even see anything good come out of it. What ends up happening is that our human minds and understanding become so limited and distracted to the point that we minimize or brush off any opportunities to witness God's glory.

In this episode, which is discussed in detail according to the Gospel of John 11:1-44, Jesus uses the illness and death of His good friend Lazarus, as well as the suffering of his sisters, as a way to provide us helpful visual examples that we can make applicable in our lives today so that we too, can better witness the glory of God in our lives.

In today's society and culture, especially with countless religions and denominations out there, it can be super easy to misunderstand and/or be misinformed how one can be born again and enter into the Kingdom of God. One of the most trending ways people follow or believe, is that it's based off a works, or an achievement-type premises which unfortunately leads to spiritual death. Well Jesus wanted to tell us that our "works" don't work, that the one thing we must do is to be born again, spiritually. While baptisms are emphasized, they are also what adds to the confusion but they are simply to be seen as symbolic method of our public profession of our faith, aka a spiritual cleansing.

This episode is centered around an in-depth conversation between a curious religious ruler named Nicodemus and Jesus that takes place in the Gospel of John 3:1-18 where Jesus and explains and defines to him what it means to be born again and how.

It's very common to hear that pretty much everyone goes to heaven, that it's practically an automatic situation when one passes. Believe it or not, Jesus says it's actually not easy to enter at all, rather He says it's hard. Well what makes it so hard? Isn't being a "good person" good enough? Today's episode goes into great detail about the short and sweet message / exhortation Jesus gave during His sermon on the mount that comes from the Gospel of Matthew 7:13-14 and see if you're headed toward the eternal gate you think you are.
