E104 Spiritual Warfare isnt about fear: Its about position

E106 The middle east on fire - What every believer needs to know

The U.S. and Israel are at war with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz is a flashpoint. Everyone is asking: Is this the end? Should I be scared? In this episode, we look at current events through the lens of Scripture with help from two trusted prophecy teachers: • Mark Hitchcock (author of The Persian Storm) explains why Iran matters prophetically, what Ezekiel 38 actually says, and why we're seeing a "buildup" – not the final battle. • Rick Renner (author of Dressed to Kill) reminds you that the Word of God is your sword, and your peace comes from staying seated with Christ – not from understanding every headline. If you've been feeling anxious about world events, this 30-minute episode will settle your heart, sharpen your focus, and give you five practical steps to live with hope instead of fear. Key Scriptures: Ezekiel 38:5, Matthew 24:6-8, Psalm 122:6 One sentence summary: Wars and rumors of wars are not the end – but they are a reminder that the King is coming, and you are seated with Him.

E105 Three voices on spiritual warfare - How to fight when you’re already seated

In Episode 104, we laid the foundation: you are already seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). The battle is won. Jesus sat down because His work was finished. But that raises a critical question for every new believer: "If I'm already seated… what do I actually DO when I feel attacked? When anxiety won't stop? When life is falling apart?" This episode answers that question. We explore spiritual warfare through the lens of three trusted teachers—each bringing a unique, biblical perspective: 1. Philip Anthony Mitchell – Contend, Don't Coast Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell (2819 Church, Atlanta) challenges the spiritual apathy creeping into the church. Drawing from the book of Jude, he calls believers to contend for authentic faith, pursue inner healing, and wake up to the urgency of the season. His question: Are you fighting for your faith or just going through motions? 2. Emma Stark – Use Your Authority Scottish prophet Emma Stark teaches that most Christians have been lied to about the supernatural. She reminds us that Jesus gave every believer authority to confront fear, shame, and demonic influence—not by screaming louder, but by speaking in Jesus' name. Her question: What have you been tolerating that Jesus has already defeated? 3. John Bevere – Suit Up and Stand Bestselling author John Bevere unpacks Ephesians 6—the Armor of God—as a daily posture, not just a list. Truth, righteousness, and peace aren't just virtues; they're weapons. His question: Are you walking into battle naked, or are you suited up every morning? By the end of this episode, you will know: • Why spiritual warfare is not about fear or performance. • How to shift from fighting for victory to fighting from victory. • Three practical steps to take every morning before the battle starts. Whether you're a brand-new Christian or you've been in church for years, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a simple prayer to put on the armor of God.

E104 Spiritual Warfare isnt about fear: Its about position

Most people think spiritual warfare means shouting at the devil, rebuking every bad thought, and living on high alert. But what if the real battle isn't about fighting for victory—but staying seated in a victory that's already finished? In this episode, we unpack Mark 16:19–20 and Ephesians 2:6 to reveal one game-changing truth: Jesus sat down because the work was complete. And here's the surprise—you're already seated with Him. You'll learn: • Why fear-based warfare actually gives the enemy more power than he has • What it really means that Jesus is at the "right hand of God" • How Bill Johnson, Derek Prince, and R.C. Sproul reframe spiritual warfare as position, not panic • Why rest is your greatest offensive weapon • How to stop begging God to move and start enforcing what He's already done If you're tired of spiritual burnout and ready to fight from victory instead of for it—this episode is for you. Key Scriptures: Mark 16:19–20, Ephesians 2:6, Psalm 110:1 The takeaway: Spiritual warfare isn't about screaming louder. It's about sitting stiller in the right chair.

E103 The false messiah and the fire this time

There is a messiah coming. The world is waiting for him. Millions are praying for him. Armies are positioning for him. But he is not the One you think. In Iran right now, a man sits in a seat of power who believes his entire purpose is to burn the world down so his messiah can rise from the ashes. His name is Mojtaba Khamenei. And his regime is not playing politics. They are playing apocalypse. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the Islamic Mahdi, compare him to the biblical Antichrist, and answer the question no news anchor will ask: Why will Iran never, ever come to a genuine agreement with Israel? The answer is not in a diplomatic cable. It is in a prophecy. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN • Who the Islamic Mahdi really is – Not Jesus. Not a peacemaker. A warrior whose arrival requires global destruction. • Why Iran's new Supreme Leader is an apocalyptic ideologue – Mojtaba Khamenei and the doctrine of Tamhis (divine sifting through chaos). • The clash of two messiahs – How the Mahdi's mission contradicts everything about Jesus Christ. • Where the Mahdi fits (or doesn't fit) with biblical prophecy – 2 Thessalonians 2, Ezekiel 38–39, and the spirit of the Antichrist. • The Christian response – Not panic. Prayer, preparation, and proclamation. ABOUT THIS EPISODE This is not a political commentary. It is a prophetic warning and a call to prayer. We do not fear Iran — but we must understand what drives it. The regime in Tehran is not rational by Western standards. It is theological. And until Christians grasp that, we will keep misreading the headlines.

E102 The Post-Secular Awakening – When Reality Shifts

You've felt it. The ground shifting. The old certainties—science, politics, money, education—aren't holding the way they once did. And that's not a crisis. That's an invitation. In this episode, we explore what prophet Emma Stark has called the "post-secular" age: a time when the Western world is no longer embarrassed by spiritual questions. People aren't asking if God exists anymore. They're asking which God—and how to meet Him. We'll talk about: · Why the natural vs. spiritual divide is crumbling · How dissatisfaction with secularism is actually a wake-up call · Why the enemy overplayed his hand during the Enlightenment · What the church must become in this new frontier (hint: not debaters, but witnesses of encounter) · And a gentle warning: post-secular hunger without discernment can lead to counterfeit christs Scripture references include Joel 2:28, Romans 8:19, John 5:39–40, Zechariah 4:6, Jeremiah 29:13, and 1 John 4:1. If you're tired of arguing about God and hungry to actually meet Him—this episode is for you. Keywords: post-secular, spiritual awakening, Emma Stark, prophetic, encounter with God, end times, antichrist, discernment, radical encounter, Holy Spirit Listener takeaway: You don't need to argue the Kingdom. You need to speak it, live it, and be it. LISTEN NEXT • 🎧 E101 The Shibbolet Test - The one word that saves or destroys. • 🎧 E98 The council of the Lord: Whar happens.
