Light of the Nations' Foursquare Church in Denver Podcast

The message for today is “Going back to the gates.” To summarize, this is the story of Mordecai who found a job to be a gate man. While at the gates three things happened. First, some people plotted to kill the king and Mordecai told Esther about the plot. The only reward he got was to write his name in the book of souvenir and that is all. Even the king didn’t bother to come out and thank him.  P...

Chapter 18 contains a lament over a city that has not yet been destroyed. It is a prophetic action. The city is Babylon, the city of the harlot. We know it as Rome. The city of Rome today is not the same as the Rome we know today. How are we supposed to view this today? Today the enemy of the Lord is everywhere, in every city.  Today, we need to prophesy and understand that the end of this world s...

In the bible we read about a new heaven and a new earth. That is the picture of how a church or a world should look. What are the characteristics? “The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed the bear, their young will lie down together and the lion will eat straw lik...

In chapter 17 we see an illustration of some of the judgement from the previous chapter. It is illustrated by a prostitute (named Babylon). Babylon is a picture of the sin of the world. Babylon was a great kingdom that ruled over much of the world and destroyed Jerusalem. They took the holy items from the temple and desecrated them. We need to respect those things that God says are holy. Your life...

The Light of the Nations’ 10th Anniversary celebration. A discussion of the past 10 years and all of the good things that have happened. Also, a brief message from Pastor Sam Rockwell. 

We were created to be power assisted. We were not created to do it ourselves. Without the Holy Spirit anything you accomplish will not be long lasting. It won’t be eternal. You must surrender to the Lord so that God can baptize you with fire. You must surrender everything to the Lord. Your finances. Your family. Your marriage. Everything. And God will reward you with power.

Revelation is a prophetic book that teaches about what God is going to do. Chapter 15 talks about the final 7 judgments of God. These are the seven bowls.  Each of the bowls will be poured out upon the earth. The trouble comes to the world that has not accepted Jesus Christ as savior. Before they are poured out there is a song of praise to God. Victory comes through praise.  Lord God, All Powerful...

The devil has one goal and that is to destroy your life. He will do whatever it takes, anything he can, to get to you. He uses all of his weapons, one of the strongest of which is money, to accomplish his goal. We have to be careful to not give too much or too little attention to the devil. That’s what these chapters of revelation are for, to help us better understand our enemy that wants to destr...

As we read through the Bible, there are lots of names. We don’t know these people so often we just skip these parts. But God saw that these names are important because God loves you. God wrote their names in the book! How great is that? God knows you and when God knows you, you are very important before God! God knows how important you are and e wants you to live eternally. He even knows the numbe...

In chapter 12 there is a story of a dragon and a woman and a child. The dragon fights the woman (Israel/ the people of God) and the child (Jesus). The dragon cannot reach the child (Jesus) so all his anger is against “the woman” and her descendants (us) - the true believers. Satan cannot get to Jesus anymore. Recognize that the devil is turning his attention to you - for one reason - to get at Jes...

God provides things and activities for us to have and do. But it is important that we choose the right time. There is a time for everything that God provides. For example, pregnancy. This is a wonderful thing and a blessing to us. But for a young girl, not so much. In Genesis, there is there tree of knowledge of good and evil. It is beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Genesis actually says the frui...

Jesus is fighting to take the world back to himself. At the time of the birth of Jesus there was an invasion of Heaven to Earth. The devil si committed to fight against the Lord, always. When we testify about the Lord, when we pray we are fighting the battle against the devil. We need to go and lift up our prayer in the place where we want the results of prayer to happen. Light is stronger than da...

We had some technical difficulties the past few weeks so there are some missing episodes. John is commanded to measure the Temple area. He is going out to surround a space that is holy and protected. The temple was a safe place and a place of refuge. He was not to measure the outer space where the gentiles could come in because the city had been overrun. So he was only to measure the inner sanctua...

After this I saw… Revelation is not written like a story book. It is a repeating of the same events from different viewpoints. There is a list of the twelve tribe of Israel and it states that there are 12,000 from each tribe that gets into heaven. This is probably a symbolic number. The angel puts a seal on the forehead of each person and that protects them from the events of the tribulation. Vers...

What God is expecting from me? What could this powerful God expect from me, a simple human? Good news! Although we were the people under the leadership of ourselves and the devil, God sent His Son to rescue us! Do you think that God did everything for no reason? NO! We are to serve the Glory of God. In Joppa there was a woman named Tabitha. She was a simple woman but even though she was not rich,...

All of chapter 6 is the opening of the scroll. There are seven seals and one is opened at a time. Each seal reveals a new prophesy. Only Jesus can open the seals. The first seal. A voice said “come” calling out to someone. There came a white horse and its rider held a bow. He rode out as a conqueror. This isn’t Jesus because he is a conqueror. We think this rider is the Anti-Christ. The second sea...

Report on youth conference and Sports Camp! God is on the throne in heaven. He is always on the throne, in charge. No matter what. There are 24 elders who are before the throne. They bow down and remove their crowns. This is a lesson for us. There is no room for pride before God. Whatever you have done that makes you think you are pretty good, it is nothing before God. Pride is a sin and there sim...

Kids church time – Father’s Day. Chapter four is our first look into heaven. In chapter five we will have another look into heaven. In chapter four we will have a revelation of God and in chapter five we will have a revelation of Jesus Christ. John is being given a vision of what heaven looks like. He isn’t actually going there but he has an experience of it. The first thing he sees is a throne wi...

Kids church time – Be bold, be very courageous for the Lord your God is with you. The church of Laodicea. In the US in many ways we are like the Church of Laodicea. It was known as self-sufficient, wealthy and in need of nothing. Laodicea was the seventh of the churches that Jesus spoke to in Revelation. It is the only church about which Jesus did not speak a word of praise. Neither hot not cold,...

A word from God for our church. The story of Saul. Saul was someone who never would have come to Jesus. The last person! This week we have a special guest speaker. Mr Mohamad Faridi is author of “Forsaking my father’s religion”. A good Muslim does not ask questions, he submits. Islam is the religion of submission. A Muslim is a person who submits to Islam. This is the story of a Muslim man and his...

Kids church time – Pentacost The church of Ephesus. They were theologically correct but without love. This is very dangerous. John had been a pastor there in the past. They knew what was right and wrong from a theological standpoint. And they probably too great pride in being right. Pride is always a danger and it leads us into a bad place. They were good at rejecting false teaching but they had d...

Kids church time – John 3:16-17 A ministry word of the Lord: Do not be anxious for anything but in everything with prayer and thanksgiving make your requests before God. (Phil 4:6) To the angel of the church of Thyatira, His eyes are like blazing fire. (He sees everything.) His feet are like burnished bronze. (He can stand and not fall. This is unlike the statue of Nebuchadnezzar.) His feet are st...

Children’s time Q & A. Review of Prophetic Word from last week. The best is yet to come! Statement from Papa Tshite. Mother’s Day tribute. The shepherd is Jesus and his voice is his word. You and I are the sheep. Because we are here and we are the sheep, He is the shepherd. He can’t be the shepherd without the sheep. The devil is also a shepherd. He takes care of his sheep as well. Jesus is sa...

Ministry time following the Holy Spirit Conference on May 4 and 5. There is a song in you that cannot be silenced. Why did Moses and the sons of Israel sing the song? They had been delivered from Pharaoh. They are on the other side of the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army had been destroyed. It is easy to sing on the other side of the Red Sea. We are all on the other side of the Red Sea. The truth is big...

Testimonial from Pastor Andy. “Drink water!” Jon introduces himself and is relaying a message from God. Identifying Him as He who was, He who is, and He who is to come. He is coming! He is Alpha and Omega. He is the faithful witness. The firstborn from among the dead. The Ruler of the kings of the earth. You are representing God to the people. This is one of your new jobs since the resurrection. W...
