Can a Christian be possessed? In this episode I sit down with Pastor Hugo and Mayra Vargas from The Power of the Gospel to unpack this important question.

We talk about deliverance, why it matters for believers, and how freedom in Christ is available for anyone who seeks it.

This conversation brings clarity, biblical insight, and real encouragement for your spiritual walk. Listen in.

Psalm 1:1-6 NKJV shows the clear difference between the righteous and the ungodly.

In this episode we talk about why we must refuse ungodly counsel, why our walk matters to God, and how delighting in the Word keeps us strong.

I also share about being planted by the rivers of living water so that when hard seasons come, we are rooted, steady, and still bearing fruit.

This is a call to stay close to God, stay in Scripture, and stay planted.

Mark 7:24-30 NKJV tells the story of a Gentile mother who came to Jesus because her daughter had an unclean spirit. Even though she was not part of Israel, she humbled herself, believed His word, and received deliverance for her daughter.

In this episode we talk about how deliverance is the children’s bread, how faith and humility unlock freedom, and why Jesus still sets people free today.

Special guest, Deacon Lorenzo Ramirez, shares insight and real life application.

In this episode, we explore the powerful words of Jesus from John 8:31-32: “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

We’ll talk about what it really means to abide in His word, how truth brings freedom, and why these verses still carry life-changing impact today.

Whether you’re seeking deeper faith, clarity in your walk with God, or encouragement in daily life, this message will help you understand how living in God’s truth leads to real freedom.

In this episode, Pastor Jonathan unpacks the truth of James 5:16 (NKJV): “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Discover the power that comes when prayer is persistent, passionate, and aligned with a life of righteousness.

Learn how fervent prayer breaks strongholds, releases healing, and invites God’s supernatural intervention.

This message will encourage you to pray with faith, boldness, and consistency, knowing that your prayers truly make a difference.

In this episode of A Cup With Pastor, Pastor Jonathan shares from Philippians 3:13-14 about pressing forward and leaving the past behind. He opens up with a personal testimony of how the enemy tried to keep him enslaved through an open door from his past. Through forgiveness and choosing to stay free from the spirit of offense, he found victory in Christ. Be encouraged to stop looking in the rearview mirror and start focusing on the windshield ahead, where God’s purpose and upward call are waiting for you.

Have you ever been in a season where nothing made sense and the waiting felt endless?

In this episode, I open up about a personal journey where I had to trust God in the silence and keep walking by faith when there were no signs. I share how Galatians 6:9 reminded me not to grow weary, because in due season, the harvest comes if we do not give up. There were moments I wanted to throw in the towel, but Psalm 27:13-14 anchored my heart. I would have lost heart unless I believed I would see His goodness.

Through it all, I learned that waiting on the Lord is not passive, it is a bold act of faith. If you're in a season of delay or confusion, this episode is for you.

In this episode of A Cup With Pastor, we explore how influence, both good and bad, shapes our character, decisions, and spiritual growth. Pastor Jonathan is joined by special guests Pastor Jonathan Lujano and Sister Ruth Lujano as they unpack the powerful truths behind 1 Corinthians 15:33 and Galatians 5:9, reminding us that even a little negativity or compromise can impact our entire walk with God.

But influence is not just something that happens to us. It is something we carry. Through 1 Timothy 4:12 and Romans 12:2, you’ll be encouraged to rise up as a godly example, to live a life that transforms others through faith, purity, and a renewed mind anchored in Christ.

Tune in, be challenged, and walk away with a deeper understanding of how to guard your spirit and be the influence this world needs.
