When You're Ready to Listen

Religion EN ↓ 275 episodes

This podcast is dedicated to exploring the truth about God: things you may not have understood, may not have been taught, or quite frankly, had a very hard time believing. And since our entire relationship with God rests on “believing,” it is important we learn how to separate the truth from the many lies and fictions that abound within the religion of Christianity. So, when you’re ready to listen – tune in and discover a pathway to freedom, encouragement, life, and hope.

EP87 Revelation 11 verses 6-8 17.04.2023

During the days of witness, the Called and Chosen and Faithful set-in motion that which God has set aside in the heavenlies for them to access, whether that is removing blessings, disrupting blessings, or bringing forth calamity or “wounds,” for they hold the keys to that which God has bound in heaven. The angelic are there waiting to choose to put these “wounds” into motion. But the angelic won’t...

EP86 Revelation 11 verses 5-6 10.04.2023

“And if anyone now wants to harm them, fire now chooses to flow [discharge, project] out of their mouth and now devours their enemies; so, if anyone wants to harm them, he now must be caused to be killed in this way”. As with the Churches at Smyrna and Philadelphia, this is a now and then experience of the bondservants of Yahweh (not exclusively reserved to the End Times). God will grant His witne...

EP85 Revelation 11 verses 3-4 P2 03.04.2023

The image of the Lampstand signifies purposes (light bearers) and Zechariah makes it clear that from before the beginning of time, Plan-A was that God would bring to Himself a collective of both Jews and Gentiles (both trees were set before Yahweh sometime in the past and still hold their position before Him), but the timing of their 1,260 days of witness to the world (their light) would not be un...

EP84 Revelation 11 verses 3-4 P1 27.03.2023

The two witnesses’ grant to prophecy is related to their appointed 1,260 days. They will speak and declare Jesus’ words to the world, both taking away blessing and bringing forth judgement. 2 is a number of division and unity and speaks of two two witnesses that are divided in identity, or heritage, but are unified in purpose: to give a unified witness to the world. 1,260 speaks of the time we get...

EP83 Revelation 11 verse 2 20.03.2023

The outside of the Sanctuary (the remaining grounds of the temple at large) is not to be measured, for it has caused to be given to the multitude of peoples in close association—those who come to the temple to worship God but who have not been measured off in this final culling. They will be given the authority to have authority over the “holy city” (those who are the Called, Chosen, and Faithful...

EP82 Revelation 11 verse 1 P4 13.03.2023

John is also commanded to measure the golden altar of incense which was placed right in front of the curtain that separated the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies. There was to be a perpetual burning of incense on this altar throughout all generations. This is tied directly tied directly to the prayers of God’s people . This measurement means that from this time forth, God will only hear the praye...

EP81 Revelation 11 verse 1 P3 06.03.2023

Many assume that the Spirit must be speaking about a 3rdJewish temple that in the future will be built in Jerusalem, allowing the Jews to once again conduct their formal service of worship centered on animal sacrifice. But the Spirit is speaking about those who are NOW worshipping in the Sanctuary—a spiritual Sanctuary. In the same way, the Spirit is clear that the Destroyer (the Beast) now choose...

EP80 Revelation 11 verse 1 P2 27.02.2023

The Lampstand in the Sanctuary is purposed to bring forth light illuminating all those whose duties are in the Sanctuary of God. Jesus is the flame, the producer of light. The Spirit is the oil, and those who are now believing are to be His “ reeds ” or His Lampstand through which the oil flows; and the wick that burns is a picture of each individual who bears light. True believers are the very ve...

EP79 Revelation 11 verse 1 P1 20.02.2023

Revelation 11 addresses: The Sanctuary of God; The Final Division; The two Witnesses (Their Persecution, Death, and Resurrection); the Second Woe; the Seventh Trumpet; the Rapture; and the Preparation for the Time of Wrath. It is a chapter layered in time with what can only be described as a synonymic explosion of images. God measures the Sanctuary (where only the Priests may enter). The Sanctuary...

EP78 Revelation 10 verses 3-11 13.02.2023

When the Strong Angel finished, the 7-Thunders roared, but John was told to seal up, or keep secret, what the 7-Thunders had spoken. In the Codex , the 7-Thunders are so powerful that they set things into motion, things of creation in both the seen and the unseen realms. Although sealed, we will see the effects with the blowing of the 7thTrumpet. Once the 7th Trumpet blows, everything will be diff...

EP77 Revelation 10 verses 1-2 05.02.2023

Seven seals have been opened, six trumpets blown, and the seventh remains, and it is a trumpet of greatest hope, a trumpet of fulfillment, a trumpet of victory and glory, a trumpet of salvation, where the mysteries of God are brought to completion, while at the same time it is a trumpet that leads to unfathomable doom. Suddenly, a strong angel, the Angel of Yahweh , appears, and He comes with a pr...

EP76 Revelation 9 verses 20-21 P6 30.01.2023

Many, due to their commitment to the work of their hands , are worshipping demons and will not repent of their idolatry of brass and of stone and of wood.  The brass and stone both speak of judgment. The religion of Christianity exists because of the brass and the stone. The law, your law, my law, anyone’s law brings forth judgment and condemnation. Jesus may forgive our sins, but for some re...

EP75 Revelation 9 verses 20-21 P5 23.01.2023

Many within the household of God, due to their commitment to the work of their hands (what they do for God), will not repent of their idolatry— the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood which now can neither now see nor hear nor walk . When life is terrible, filled with trouble and pressure and our suffering never seems to end, it feels that God DOES not love or help us...

EP74 Revelation 9 verses 20-21 P4 16.01.2023

The “ works of our hands ” – our trying hard to be good for God and to serve Him, to being a holy witness, and our performing our religious disciplines amounts to the worship of demons and to idolatry because the source matters, the source is everything! If Jesus, the only one who is good, is not doing His works in-and-through our lives, our works are unholy offerings to the demonic. The demonic l...

EP73 Revelation 9 verses 20-21 P3 09.01.2023

Our willingness to now believe is contrasted with those who will NOT repent of the work of their hands. God requires our willingness to let Him eradicate the enemies in our soul so that we might now come to abide in peace , rest , fruitfulness , and security .  It is God’s job to choose “when” and “where” to go to war and our job to is to let Him. He desires honesty from within – to admit tha...

EP72 Revelation 9 verses 20-21 P2 02.01.2023

By grace through faith and not a result of “works” is the way of the Spirit and is the secret of what it means to be found to be in Christ. The Spirit specifies “ if ” anyone is in Christ as a contraposition with those who are now in the flesh. It is a fiction that one is “in Christ” simply because they said the “sinners’ prayer.” To be “in Christ” is a statement on our willingness to abide in His...

EP71 Revelation 9 verses 20-21 P1 26.12.2022

After 5-months of torture at the hands of the locust-like demons and then with the killing of one out of every three people, still no one repents of the work of their hands (all their attempts to serve, honor, and please God to obtain His favor, blessing, and forgiveness). To God these are unclean offerings: lawlessness. There is a fiction surrounding what it means to be “in” Christ lurking behind...

EP70 Revelation 9 verses 13-19 19.12.2022

With the sounding of the sixth trumpet, we are given the second of three doomsday type warnings to those who dwell on the earth! In an answer to the prayers of the souls under the brazen altar, there is uttered a cry for vengeance which comes forth from the Altar of Incense. Then 4 angels who have been bound by the river Euphrates (which means bursts or gushes forth) are released and they in turn...

EP69 Revelation 9 verses 11-12 12.12.2022

This section reveals to us the secret identity of the Beast, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, which means “ destruction ” and Apollyon in Greek, which means “ destroyer .” This is the spirit that empowers the man we call the Antichrist. The Beast is one of the greatest of all the angels ever created by God, being one of the “ first of the ways of God .” He will get supercharg...

EP68 Revelation 9 verses 7-10 05.12.2022

The Spirit gives us a detailed up-front and personal description of the locust-like demonic army that escapes from the Abyss.  They have a king over them, and his name in Hebrew is Destruction (or destroying angel) and in Greek, it is the Destroyer. This is the demon that will possess the man we call the Antichrist (although the man is never mentioned in Revelation, only the demonic spirit th...

EP67 Revelation 9 verses 1-6 28.11.2022

The first woe. The 5th Trumpet is blown which ushers in one of the most pivotal moments in Revelation , for the Beast from the Abyss (the demonic being who will possess the man we call the Antichrist) is released into the world along with his army of locust-like demons. Like a curse and a plague these demons invade the realm of mankind. These demons have a unique super-power, the power of scorpion...

EP66 Revelation 8 verses 10-13 21.11.2022

With the blowing of the 3rdtrumpet, a great star falls from heaven and is even now being made to be burning, just like it is even now being called “wormwood.” The use of the present tense indicates that this star exists and is active. However, this burning is not like the volcanic flame of a mountain ready to spew hot fire, rather, it is more akin to a lamp—a burning torch. In other words, this fl...

EP64 Revelation 8 verses 1-5 20.11.2022

Revelation 8: Overview: The Opening of the Seventh Seal and the First Four Trumpet Judgments. 7 is the number of completions, the end of the 7-seal judgments- and the introduction of the next phase, the 7 trumpet judgments. Silence in heaven should make everyone nervous and in the midst of the quiet comes 7 angels who hold 7 trumpets. An angel takes a hot coal from the altar of incense in the tabe...

EP65 Revelation 8 verses 6-9 14.11.2022

The blowing of the first trumpet judgment exposes the great apostasy of those in the household of God. One third of the institutions of man (political, corporate, financial, etc.), a third of the great leaders of man, and 100% of all those who still have some sort of spiritual life within them, will be pulverized by the hail, burned by the fire, and marked by the blood (a reference to the Called o...

EP63 Revelation 7 verses 9-14 31.10.2022

The question still lingers, who are the 144,000 – all those people from every tribe, tongue, and nation? They are those who are even now choosing to be coming out of the great tribulation. This is not an image pointing us to something in the future, but to those who are now overcoming and now believing. Even now, people are continually choosing to NOT be marked by the Beast with the number of his...
