Ask The Pastor | Week 1 | 2024

Luke | Week 22

My Heavenly Father, I do here and now renounce any and all allegiance I have ever given to Satan and his demons. And I refuse to accept anything from them, to be influenced by them, or to be used by them in any way whatsoever. I reject all their attacks upon my mind and my body. I place myself under Your power, and I stand on the truth that the sacrifice Christ made on the cross has paid the penalty of my sins. I understand that, because of the death and resurrection of Jesus, Satan and his angels are defeated foes. I understand that, because I am Yours, Satan and his angels cannot defeat me. In the name of Jesus Christ, I ask that You protect me from. the forces of darkness, that You overcome their power by Yours, and that You remove any influence they would have upon me. I stand upon the promises in Your Word. And in humble faith, I ask that You give me a strong spirit and a wise mind to resist the devil. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord, Amen (Chuck Swindoll)

Ask The Pastor | Week 2 | 2024

Join us for week 2 of Ask the Pastor! -If all sins are forgivable and forgiven, could you please clarify the one unforgivable sin referred to in Matthew 12 and Mark 3. -In John 16:5, Jesus says "and not one of you is asking where I am going." But, in John 13:36, Simon Peter asked, "Lord, where are you going?" I'm confused, Peter DOES ask but Jesus doesn't really answer him. Why would Jesus say no one asked but Peter did ask? -What's up with the whole Melchizedek being the greatest high priest? How did he attain such status when there is so little info about him? -Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons? -I have been reading the book Secrets of a Prayer Warrior, which brings up the third heaven as paradise in the presence of God, the second heaven is Satan & his fallen angels, & the first is the visible heaven that we see when looking to the stars. Is this truly Biblical or even a plausible explanation of heaven? -So many books have been written on people going to Heaven and coming back. What's your take on this? -With the subject of witnessing to unbelievers and introducing them to Christ, I’ve been told that I shouldn’t hold them to the same godly standards that we as Christian’s hold. While I agree with that, I then am unsure of what standards we should hold them to, seeing as how worldly standards clearly aren’t sufficient, how should I approach those situations? -I struggle with answers to prayers. When I pray and search for answers in God’s word, how do I know what the truth is about the situation? Is the outcome from God, or self? I feel like I sometimes choose the answers for myself rather than him even though I pray and surrender to him. -Are science and faith incompatible? Does going to a medical Doctor demonstrate a lack of faith in God’s healing power?
