The False Prophet-Evil Exalted/Insight into Ultimate Idolatry
Season 7, Ep. 139
•
The second beast comes up out of the earth and is also called the false prophet. In Revelation 13:11-14 we have his brief dossier. The false prophet will be the ultimate imitator, instigator, and idolater. With his arrival, the unholy demonic trinity (Satan, the Anti-Christ, the false prophet) will establish the ultimate demonic religious state.
Our present condition of separation of church and state in America is not a constitutional mandate but a secular, godless attitude that dominates our fallen society and governments structure. In the end, Satan is going to demand total adherence to obeisance and bowing to him in worship. The very religious condition that present man supposes to abhor!

540. Vain Repetition vs. Persistence in Prayer
10:52||Season 25, Ep. 540Is it possible to pray often… and still miss the heart of prayer? In this episode, we unpack Jesus' teachings on vain repetition versus persistent prayer. With two biblical examples of each, we explore how to avoid hollow, routine prayers and instead lean into bold, consistent, and heartfelt conversation with God.

Includes a practical 7-day challenge to revive your connection with God.Practical Challenge: The Seven-Day Prayer Check-InSet aside 5 minutes daily for prayer.Begin each time by asking God to help you pray sincerely and not just repeat words out of habit.Write down your prayer focus or key requests each day in a journal.Avoid rote prayers.

539. The Danger of Refusing to Go On Knowing
06:44||Season 25, Ep. 539📖 Episode Summary:“It is a dangerous thing to refuse to go on knowing.” These words from Oswald Chambers aren’t just poetic—they’re prophetic. In this piercing episode, we unpack the sobering truth that revelation demands a response. To linger in the past, to park at the last place God met you without moving forward, isn’t just disobedience—it’s dangerous.Drawing from Hebrews 10, John 12, James 1, and Philippians 3, this conversation invites you to reflect deeply on the places you may have stalled… and the freedom found in renewed obedience.If you’ve felt stuck spiritually, if you’ve been living off of yesterday’s word without walking in today’s light—this episode is a call to movement, to maturity, and to revival.📝 Key Topics Covered:What Oswald Chambers meant by “refusing to go on knowing”Why lingering in yesterday’s revelation can become spiritual negligenceThe danger of softening conviction to stay comfortableHow truth once revealed makes us responsible for responseThe difference between remembering and respondingA biblical challenge to walk in the light we’ve been given📜 Scriptures Referenced (CSB):Hebrews 10:26–27 — The judgment that follows willful sin after knowing the truthJohn 12:35 — “Walk while you have the light…”James 1:22 — Don’t just hear the word — do itPhilippians 3:13–14 — Forget what’s behind, and reach forward🧩 Reflection Questions:Where have you stopped walking?What truth have you heard but not obeyed?Are you still holding onto an old moment with God… while ignoring His present voice?📌 Challenges:Don’t build a tent around what was — walk in what is. Ask God to show you where you’ve stalled — and respond while the light is still shining.💬 Quote Highlight:“God doesn’t just give revelation — He expects transformation.”DONATE our secure PayPal account.

538. Unshakable Things
04:51||Season 25, Ep. 538The announced episode number is incorrect. Episode 537 was injected into the podcast in light of the immediacy of the situation. The following is a rework of the Charles Spurgeon Evening Devotion for June 22which was first published in 1866. The estimated writing year for June 22 devotion would have been Circa 1865 or early 1866. His words written down by candle or lamplight approximately 160 years ago are soberingly impactful and apply to us at this very moment in history. As soon as I read it I knew I had to shine the spotlight on its message. Spurgeon’s devotion is in the public domain and copyright free.DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.

536. The Bar in the Room-Calling the Church Back to Sobriety

The sober life isn’t just a clean life. Integrity begins in quiet places. This episode explains how we restore integrity in worship and leadership. Let this series stir a holy dissatisfaction with the norm. Let it ignite a longing for something more beautiful, more sober, and more real. Christ is worthy of a consecrated Church.

535. Episode 2: The Bar in the Room: When Influence Becomes Indulgence
05:09||Season 25, Ep. 535Welcome back to part two of our series. In just the last few days of this writing, a major exposé dropped—documented by dozens of interviews—revealing deep moral compromise tied directly to sexual promiscuity along with the habitual use of alcohol by one of Christian music’s most recognizable voices. This story, as heartbreaking as it is, isn’t an isolated one. Influence is a sacred responsibility. But in the Christian music industry, we’re watching that influence turn into indulgence...Disclaimer: This podcast series reflects the personal spiritual convictions and commentary of the host.

We’re here to hold a light up to a pattern that’s spreading unchecked in Christian music culture—one that is quietly shifting the atmosphere from hospitality to hedonism. 1 Peter 5:8 calls us to be alert, to be sober-minded. Because the enemy prowls, looking for someone to devour. And he doesn’t always come roaring.

533. Benighted in the Wilderness
06:48||Season 25, Ep. 533Charles Spurgeon wrote a profound statement in his evening devotion for May 7th: "We would not wish to enter heaven till our work is done, and it may be that we are yet ordained to minister light to souls benighted in the wilderness of sin." That word "benighted" sparked my curiosity. It is a power-packed Old-English word that paints a haunting image in you soul. I pray that this podcast moves you to action to in being a light bearer of Jesus Christ to those who are not just people walking through the dark. These are people who have become part of it. When you awaken to the full truth about the condition of lost souls without Christ, it will overwhelm you with compassion to move out of your comfort zone, beyond yourself, into the wilderness of sin to reach those whose instincts, fears, and MEMORIES are TRAINED IN THE NIGHT.DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.
