Kingdom Corner Podcast

Friday, January 30, 2026

In this Friday reading episode of The Kingdom Corner Podcast, Matt Gibe continues the study through Power and Authority Over Darkness by Angela Greenig, a seasoned deliverance minister with over four decades of global ministry experience.

Today’s teaching focuses on two powerful spiritual adversaries identified in Scripture and ministry experience:

the Antichrist spirit and the unclean spirit — how they operate, how they manifest, and how believers can discern and confront them through truth, prayer, and spiritual authority in Christ.

On Fridays, the Kingdom Corner Podcast follows a reflective reading format, guiding listeners through trusted devotional and teaching resources. This episode continues the deep dive into the section of Greenig’s book that outlines 16 commonly encountered evil spirits, drawing biblical foundations and practical discernment for believers.

Matt also reminds listeners of the Tuesday flagship series, Kingdom People in the Pages of History, currently exploring the life of Jim Thorpe through David Maraniss’ Path Lit by Lightning, with biblical reflection woven throughout history.

Based on 1 John 4:1–3 and 1 Timothy 4:1, the Antichrist spirit is described not merely as a future figure, but as a present spiritual influence opposing Christ’s authority, identity, and work.

1. Rivalry and competition with Christ’s authority
2. Substitution of false doctrines for biblical truth
3. Impostors replacing Christ’s atonement and deity
4. Manipulation and distortion of grace and redemption
5. Legalism that binds without freedom
6. Suppression of spiritual gifts
7. Division within families and churches
8. Condemnation, persecution, and deception
9. Seducing spirits leading believers into error

Key Emphasis:

Believers are called to test the spirits, examine fruit (Galatians 5:22–23), and avoid both naivety and paranoia — remaining grounded in truth, prayer, and discernment.

Drawing heavily from Matthew 12:43–45 and Mark 5, this section examines the destructive and invasive nature of unclean spirits, emphasizing why freedom must be paired with spiritual filling and vigilance.

1. Dwelling in darkness and isolation
2. Chronic insomnia and mental torment
3. Self-harm and destructive behaviors
4. Fear, insanity, and lack of sound mind
5. Physical affliction and decay
6. Moral and spiritual defilement
7. Desecration of body and soul
8. Compulsion toward self-destruction

Matt carefully walks listeners through the biblical warning that deliverance without discipleship leaves room for return, underscoring the role of free will, spiritual authority, and continued surrender to Christ.

Angela Greenig’s testimony of praying for her mother’s healing is shared, illustrating:

1. The role of prayer and fasting
2. Word of Knowledge in spiritual warfare
3. Christ’s authority over sickness and death
4. The importance of obedience over curiosity in deliverance

This testimony highlights that spiritual warfare is not theatrical — it is authoritative, sober, and rooted in Christ alone.

1. 1 John 4:1–3
2. 1 Timothy 4:1
3. Matthew 12:43–45
4. Mark 5
5. Galatians 5:22–23
6. Isaiah 41:10
7. Matthew 7:7–8
8. Romans 8:26

1. Discernment requires maturity, humility, and prayer
2. Not every disagreement is demonic — wisdom matters
3. Deliverance must be followed by spiritual filling
4. Faith moves forward; fear paralyzes
5. Knowledge dismantles fear and deception

Matt urges listeners to:

1. Revisit the episode and take notes
2. Examine their own lives prayerfully
3. Grow in spiritual awareness without fear
4. Remain vigilant, anchored, and hopeful in Christ
