What the Gospel Actually Means and Why It Changes Everything

The devil wants you to focus on what is wrong. God wants you to focus on what is good. And in Episode 70 of Good News with Socrates, Bishop Socrates Charos shows you exactly what happens when you make that shift. This episode is built around one word: euangelion. The Greek word for gospel, for good news, for the thing that God has been broadcasting to the world since Genesis 1. Socrates walks through what the good news actually is, where it appears in Scripture from Isaiah to Luke to Mark to Romans, and what it does to your body, your marriage, your family, and your life when you choose to focus on it. He also shares a remarkable testimony: the night a group of kids came against him in the city of Brant, he prayed the Lord's Prayer, and every single one of them fell to the ground. In this episode: • The Lord's Prayer testimony: a group came to fight him, he prayed, everyone fell • Euangelion: the Greek word for gospel, meaning joyful blessing and good news • Isaiah 52:7: how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news • Good news gives health to the bones: Proverbs 15:30 • Genesis 1:31: God saw everything He had made and it was very good • Genesis 1:26: made in the image and likeness of God • Luke 2:10: do not be afraid, I bring you good news of great joy • Mark 1:15: the kingdom of God is near, repent and believe the good news • Speak life and prophesy: you live and do not die, declare the goodness of the Lord • How to save your marriage by finding the good in your spouse • The grass is greener on the other side but you still have to cut it • Focus on the good and you destroy the darkness — it cannot survive the light • Closing blessing and commission to go bring the good news Subscribe for new episodes every Friday. https://linktr.ee/socratescharos [https://linktr.ee/socratescharos] #goodnewswithsocrates #socratescharos #isaiah527 #gospelmeaning #goodnesstothebones #christianpodcast #biblestudy #holyspirit #marriageandfaith #charismatic 0:00 Cold open: focus on the good and you destroy the bad 0:49 Welcome from Clearwater and opening prayer 1:37 The Lord's Prayer saved my life in Brant 2:22 The power of the Lord's Prayer: angels activate 2:46 Today is all about good news 3:03 Euangelion: the Greek word for gospel and good news 3:47 Isaiah 52:7: beautiful feet of those who bring good news 4:36 Proverbs 15:30: good news gives health to the bones 5:20 Genesis 1:31: God saw all He made and it was very good 5:48 The spirit of the Lord anoints you to bring good news 6:17 Kick out the darkness and fill them with the Holy Spirit 7:02 Speak life: you live and do not die, declare His goodness 7:29 What is the gospel: Jesus died, was buried, rose to heaven 8:17 Luke 2:10: do not be afraid, I bring good news of great joy 8:47 Mark 1:15: repent and believe the good news 9:25 Find the good in your spouse and save your marriage 10:06 Why people divorce: focusing on the bad instead of the good 10:46 The grass is greener but you still have to cut it 11:05 Find good things in your children, your life, your city 12:21 Thank you to the family, ministry team, and friends around the world 13:14 The devil focuses on darkness, God focuses on the good 13:36 Closing blessing: shalom from Clearwater, Florida Socrates is on a mission to spread the love of Jesus to the nations.

Jesus Took Me by the Hand and Said Speak Love and Walk in Love Because I Am Love

Jesus came to Socrates' house. Took him to a park. Held his hand. And said: speak love, hear love, walk in love, because I am love. That moment changed his life. And in Episode 69 of Good News with Socrates, he builds an entire teaching around it — starting from the very beginning of Scripture. From Adam walking with God in the garden, to Enoch walking with God and being taken to heaven, to Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua commanding the sun to stand still, Elijah taken up in a chariot of fire, David a friend of God, Daniel in the furnace with Jesus beside him — God has always walked with His people. And He is walking with you right now. Wherever you go today, He is there. He never left. He never forsook. He is inside you, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and He is going with you to the supermarket, to work, to church, and to everything in between. In this episode: • Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses: men who walked with God from Genesis • Joshua 10: son stand still — and the sun stopped • Elijah taken to heaven in a chariot of fire, Second Kings 2:11 • David a friend of God and how God protected him from those who tried to kill him • Daniel in the furnace — and Jesus standing with him inside it • Socrates' personal encounter: Jesus takes him by the hand in a park and teaches him love • God never left you, never forsook you, He is with you to the end of the ages • Walk in love, speak love, be careful what you do, where you go, and what you say • Salvation prayer and the revelation that changes everything Subscribe for new episodes every Friday. #goodnewswithsocrates #socratescharos #walkwithgod #godiswithyou #christianpodcast #biblestudy #holyspirit #genesis #danielinthefurnace #charismatic 0:00 Cold open: Jesus took me by the hand and said walk in love 0:53 Welcome from Clearwater and opening prayer 1:46 Today we learn how to walk with God 2:17 Salvation prayer: confess Jesus as Lord 3:23 Wherever you go God goes with you 3:44 Adam walks with God in the garden 4:13 Enoch walks with God, Genesis 5:24 4:50 Noah walks with God, Genesis 6:9 5:25 Elijah, the chariot of fire, and Second Kings 2:11 6:05 David a friend of God, protected through every threat 6:33 Daniel in the furnace with Jesus beside him 7:07 God with men forever — the promise from Genesis to Revelation 7:37 Socrates' personal encounter: the park, the hand, speak love 8:10 That encounter changed my life — God taught me love 9:06 Wherever you go today God is already there 9:31 He never left you, He never forsook you, He is with you to the end 10:18 Thank you to Philip, Benjamin in Atlanta, and the full ministry team 11:23 Go be with the right people, pray for me, closing commission Socrates is on a mission to spread the love of Jesus to the nations.

Joy Can Heal You. Misery Can Kill You. Here Is What the Bible Says.

Joy can heal you. Misery can kill you. This is not motivation — it is medicine. And Bishop Socrates Charos has scripture to back it up. In Episode 67 of Good News with Socrates, Socrates delivers a pure, joyful message straight from the Psalms. He teaches from Psalms 100, 149, and 150, walks through the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22, and shows you exactly how to enter the presence of God through thanksgiving, praise, singing, and joy. He also shares the song he wrote at 30,000 feet that he gave to President Ronald Reagan to mark 200 years of America — and why he still sings it today. The message is simple. Stop being miserable. The Holy Spirit is love, joy, and peace. Holiness is not moodiness. Come before God with a joyful heart and watch what He does. In this episode: • Joy of the Lord is your strength: Nehemiah 8:10 and why your body heals itself through joy • Psalms 100: enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise • Psalms 149: let the saints be joyful in glory and sing aloud on their beds • Psalms 150: let everything that has breath praise the Lord • Galatians 5:22: the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, and peace • Singing to the Lord: Psalms 57, 92, 95, 98, and 149 on music and praise • The song Socrates wrote for President Reagan at 30,000 feet over America • A travel blessing: go to Greece, Israel, Patmos, Italy, the Philippines, and see what God created • Why holiness is not moodiness and why moody Christians are missing the point • Closing blessing: love everybody, bless everybody, joy to the Lord Subscribe for new episodes every Friday. linktr.ee/socratescharos #goodnewswithsocrates #socratescharos #joyoftheLord #psalms100 #psalms150 #holyspirit #galatians522 #christianpodcast #faithhealing #charismatic 0:00 Do not be like lemon juice — be joyful 0:50 Welcome from Clearwater and opening prayer 1:28 Joy of the Lord is your strength 1:47 Psalms 100: enter his gates with thanksgiving and praise 2:35 How to enter the presence of God through singing 3:48 Psalms 57, 92, 95, 98: make music and sing to the Lord 4:24 Psalms 149: let the saints be joyful in glory 5:27 Psalms 150: let everything that has breath praise the Lord 6:25 Psalms 150 in Greek: singing it for the first time live 7:51 Socrates sings to America coming off the plane at 30,000 feet 8:42 The song he gave to President Reagan for the 200th anniversary of America 9:21 Joy can heal you: your body releases its own chemicals through joy 10:19 Turning 79 on May 17th and giving glory to God for every year 11:30 How to come into the presence of God through joy and thanksgiving 13:06 A travel blessing: go to Greece, Israel, Italy, and see what God created 13:55 Study Psalms 100 and 150: Socrates' assignment to every listener 15:37 Thank you to Philip, Benjamin in Atlanta, and the full ministry team 16:01 Closing: love everybody, joy to the Lord, bye bye from Clearwater Powered by ATL Podcast Pros https://www.atlpodcastpros.com [https://www.atlpodcastpros.com]
