A spiritual journey, from fear-driven religion to freedom intruth. So many messages highlight the devil. Often, we blame the devil foreverything.

Sometimes, fear, not freedom, seems to define the Christian walk.

The Bible, firmly rooted in Jewish history and context, often uses the word “Satan” (from the Greek) simply to mean “adversary”, one who opposes. It’s not always a supernatural being. It can refer to humans, institutions, or systems standing in opposition to God’s plan.

The leaders in Jesus’ day, obsessed with control, had abandoned the true covenant with God. They manipulated the temple, compromised with Rome, and ultimately betrayed their Messiah. Could they have been the real "satan" figure, tempting Jesus to join their system of power and compromise?

In this light, much of what modern Christian’s fear, a devil behind every problem, might be a distraction from the real battle: resisting corrupt systems, legalism, and false religion.

The Pharisees, not demons, were Jesus’ biggest enemies. Theykilled Him not out of theology, but to protect their power.

The takeaway is this: maybe we’ve been fighting illusions, not realities. Maybe peace comes not from “binding the devil,” but from breaking free of religious deception.

The victory has already been won through Christ. Now, it’s time to walk in truth, clarity, and freedom.

Is the Bible There for My Instruction

1 John 4:18

Matthew 4:1-11

John 19:15

Matthew 16:23

Mark 4:14-16

Today we get real. I had turned into a modern-day Pharisee and I had unrealistic expectations of those I love. I thought obedience was the key. Now I know love is the key. But before I understood grace, I was more concerned with obedience than anything else and it made my life difficult.

Today we talk about how we can do things differently that will bring positive changes immediately. There is more freedom available and today we are going to talk about how to make it our reality.

Matthew 15:1-9

Do we live in an illusion? An illusion of what we currently have and what may be coming our way? How much has Hollywood influenced our thinking when it comes to sincere biblical truth?

How can we find our freedom in Christ and live it out to the full, abandoning complacency and regret?

How have the messages about tribulation and catastrophe subliminally formed our view about God and therefore effected every area of our lives?

These are valid questions and the desire to live lives of peace and joy are not only available, they can become a reality in our lives now.

Let’s explore these questions and more on today’s Grace at LAST Podcast.

Hebrews New Covenant Study

Ephesians New Covenant Study

One of the greatest promises God gave to His people to give them hope is contained in the book of Daniel. The God of the Bible made a promise hundreds of years before Jesus’ earthly life about a kingdom. He promised an unshakeable kingdom in which His people, the righteous, would dwell. This kingdom would never be ruled by a man, turned over to another, and will endure forever.

Daniels interpretation of the king’s dream tells us precisely when that kingdom would be established. These powerful truths that renew our minds to live in the truth of our new life in Christ will take us to a deeper understanding of the love of God found in His Son. Our reality will be more in line with truth which will set us free.

There has been a place prepared for us and it is the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of grace. Jesus is the kingdom, and He dwells in whosoever shall believe.

Is Jesus coming back? Do we need to be prepared for a second coming and if so, how do we do that? If not, why have we been lied to and told He is coming back any minute (for over 2000 years)? How can I ignore the many voices telling me about a future event where Jesus makes all things new and hear Jesus’ words only? Why is Jesus’ words and the narrative in the church so different? Which one is right?

On today’s Grace at LAST Podcast, we finish looking atJesus’ words to see what He had to say about His second coming in Matthew 24.

Nebuchadnezzars Dream by Brad Robertson

There are so many claims about Jesus’ return and what God plans on doing in the future. Understanding God’s intentions will help us live in reality.

God has told His prophets and messengers His plans so we can be prepared and live in harmony with truth. Understanding Jesus’ second coming is important for every human being to understand so on today’s Grace at LAST Podcast, we look at Jesus’ words. Not self-proclaimed prophets taking scripture out of context but rather, what did Jesus Himself say when His return would be?

Once we see Jesus’ words in context, things are going to become much clearer and we will learn truths that will set us free, even if we think this topic is irrelevant.

I am so glad you joined in today.

Daniel 7:13

Matthew 24:30

Daniel 9:26

Matthew 24:1-15

If we are in Christ, we are new creatures. Where do we as new creatures currently live if we are waiting for God to bring in a kingdom sometime in the future? What can we learn about the first creation to help us appreciate today and what God’s new creation offers?

When we learn from the first Adam and the contrast in the last Adam, Jesus, we grow. We grow in understanding which makes us grow in love because the appreciation and gratitude just wells up in us and overtakes us. There is so much beauty in this inheritance that belongs to those who are “In Christ”.

Let’s grow and learn from the scriptures that tell the Greatest Story Ever Told.
