The M-Cray Podcast Ep 24: Operating by Faith

In this episode of the M-Cray podcast, titled “Operating by Faith,” we focus on the powerful truth of John 3:16, which says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” God’s love and salvation extend to all, even those who have become entangled in movements that distort His truth. These movements often use symbols like the rainbow, originally a sign of God’s covenant with humanity in Genesis 9:13, and pervert His concept of love to justify actions contrary to His will. The episode emphasizes that no matter how far someone has strayed, God’s love and salvation are available to those who turn to Him in faith. We delve into how some movements are designed to cause people to actively oppose God’s purposes, twisting His symbols to align with sinful practices. The rainbow, which was given as a symbol of God’s promise never to flood the earth again, has been misused to promote ideologies that contradict biblical teachings. But through faith and repentance, we can reclaim these symbols, knowing that God’s love is not a license to sin, but a call to redemption. His grace invites us to walk in the truth of His Word, turning from sin and receiving His gift of eternal life. The episode encourages listeners to reflect on Romans 1:25, which speaks of those who “exchanged the truth of God for a lie,” and Isaiah 5:20, which warns, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.” By standing on the truth of the gospel and embracing the fullness of God’s love, we are empowered to live according to His will. The key is to receive this gift of salvation by faith, turning to Christ and walking in the freedom He provides, regardless of where we may have been before. #OperatingByFaith #John316 #FaithInAction #GodsLove #Salvation #TruthAndLove #Romans125 #Isaiah520 #rainbowcovenant

The M-Cray Podcast Ep 23: An Understanding Heart

In the latest episode of the M-Cray podcast, titled “An Understanding Heart,” we dive deep into how understanding is the key to unlocking the chains of bondage in our lives. Proverbs four, verse seven reminds us, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” It’s essential to grasp that understanding isn’t just knowledge; it’s a transformative force that brings freedom. Too often, we find ourselves ensnared by wrong thought patterns that Satan uses to keep us chained. Yet, an understanding heart can break these bonds and lead us to true liberation. Jesus often spoke about the power of understanding. In Matthew thirteen, verses fourteen through fifteen, He warns that many hear but do not understand, leading to spiritual blindness. Conversely, John eight, verse thirty-two tells us, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Understanding the truth of God’s Word is pivotal in breaking free from the lies that bind us. It’s not enough to simply listen; we must listen with the intent to understand. God blessed us with two ears and one mouth for a reason: to listen more than we speak. As you tune in to this episode, remember that understanding is the key that can unlock your chains forever. Don’t approach the Word of God to argue or rebut; come with an open heart, ready to receive the truths that can change your life. The path to freedom begins with a heart that seeks understanding. Let’s embark on this journey together and discover how an understanding heart can bring you the freedom you’ve been searching for. #UnderstandingHeart #FreedomInChrist #BreakTheChains #WisdomAndUnderstanding #MCrayPodcast.

The M-Cray Podcast Ep 22: The Way Out

Many believe they’re free agents, choosing their own path, but they are deceived. This episode of The M-Cray Podcast unveils the truth that man is either serving God or serving the enemy. The rulers of darkness and spirits of rebellion hold sway over those who reject submission to God. People think they’re free, but they are slaves to sin, and the wages of sin is death. In this episode titled The Way Out, we dive deep into the necessity of repentance before the tribulum—God’s threshing tool—comes. Just as tribulation cracks the husk, breaking down the hardness of our hearts, the tribulum is God’s means of applying pressure to draw out what is good. But this process is painful. That’s why submitting to God beforehand is crucial. The scriptures are clear: the choice between life and death is in our hands, and the time to turn to God is now. For further reflection, explore Romans chapter six on the wages of sin and John chapter eight for understanding the reality of being bound by sin. Ephesians chapter six reveals more about the rulers of darkness, while James chapter four speaks on the importance of submission to God. #TheMCrayPodcast #TheWayOut #SubmissionToGod #SpiritualWarfare #repentnow

The M-Cray Podcast Ep 21: Change Your Attitude

In this episode of *The M-Cray Podcast*, we dive deep into the power of your attitude. A bad attitude can take a good situation and twist it into something destructive, while a good attitude can transform the most challenging circumstances into your personal Garden of Eden. Using the story of Joseph, we see how staying faithful and positive can turn trials into triumphs. Even when life seems unfair, how you respond has the power to shift everything. We also explore a powerful truth: *You* are happening to your life, not the other way around. You’re not a victim of your circumstances—you’re an active participant. With the right mindset, you can be the driver, not the passenger, of your life. Every action, every thought, flows from your heart and attitude. Scripture reminds us to “guard your heart with all vigilance, for from it flows the springs of your life” (Proverbs 4:23 CBS). Your heart is the source of your destiny, so keep it strong, pure, and open to God’s leading. Don’t miss this episode where we unpack how your mindset shapes your journey! #MindsetMatters #JosephsJourney #GuardYourHeart #TheMCrayPodcast

The M-Cray Podcast Ep 20: Resist The Devil

In the latest episode of the M-Cray Podcast, “Resist the Devil,” we dive deep into Ephesians chapter six and the powerful message behind the armor of God. This isn’t just about physical protection—it’s about the spiritual truths that the armor represents. Righteousness, Peace, Truth, faith, prayer, and salvation are the true defense in our battle against evil. Without embracing these foundational principles, we leave ourselves vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. M-Cray emphasizes that standing firm in these virtues is the key to resisting the devil’s schemes in every area of life. M-Cray also addresses the hypocrisy many people show when they complain about the state of the world but reject the Bible. He points out that if people would follow God’s commandments, the earth would experience the perfection many long for. Without cooperation and obedience to God, there can be no peace or transformation. It’s not about placing blame—it’s about understanding that God’s plan for humanity requires partnership, and when we rebel, we miss out on the very blessings we seek. Lastly, M-Cray explains how rebellion puts people under a curse. Those who refuse to submit to God and His will are unknowingly aligning themselves with darkness. Only by submitting to God can people escape the curse and truly resist the devil’s influence. This episode challenges listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider the cost of rebellion versus the freedom found in obedience to God. #ResistTheDevil #ArmorOfGod #SpiritualWarfare #SubmitToGod #mcray
