Faith For Life

‼️‼️ NEW EPISODE ‼️‼️

In this episode of God Is For Me, Pastor Matthew Allaria teaches why adversity is not proof that God has abandoned us or is against us.

Pastor Matthew teaches from Deuteronomy 6:24 that God is for our good always. His heart is to lead us into what is good, to help us, and to bless us—not to withhold good from us. At the same time, our own disobedience or failure to listen to God can get in the way of what He desires to do in our lives.

Become rooted in this truth: God is for your good always, and He is always trying to get good to you.

About the host
Matthew Allaria is a lead pastor and co-Founder of Northsmoke Church, located in Collinsville, IL, which he launched alongside his wife, Amber Allaria, in 2020. Matthew is also the Founder of Matthew Allaria Ministries, a christian ministry, whose mission is to empower people to grow spiritually, be used of God mightily and flourish personally in every area of your lives, through the teaching of God's word.

🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🚨

When circumstances are difficult, the enemy will try to make you question whether God is really for you. In this episode of God Is For Me, Pastor Matthew Allaria teaches why there is no “if” when it comes to the goodness, love, and faithfulness of God.

Looking at Genesis 3, Psalm 56, Hebrews 13, and Romans 8, Pastor Matthew shows how the enemy's strategy from the beginning has been to plant doubt about God's character and whether He is truly for us. Instead of entertaining those thoughts, we can become firmly persuaded that God is for us—even in times of pressure, lack, difficulty, or attack.

The Scriptures repeatedly encourage us to speak about God's goodness, faithfulness, salvation, deliverance, and victory. As Pastor Matthew emphasizes, our confession should remain steady: God is for me.

🌟 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🌟

What does it really mean that God is for you? In this episode of God Is For Me, Pastor Matthew Allaria teaches that God being for us means He wants things to go well for us—and He is against what comes against our well-being.

Through passages including Genesis 39:2, Psalm 35:27, Jeremiah 29:11, and Joshua 5:13–15, Pastor Matthew explores what Scripture reveals about God's desire for the prosperity, welfare, health, safety, and well-being of His people.

He also explains that being rooted in the truth that God is for us does not mean we will never face adversity. Rather, when we encounter opposition, we can know that we are not alone in the fight. God is on our side.

This teaching will encourage you to stop wavering over whether God is for you and become firmly established in that truth.

💥‼️💥 NEW SERIES ‼️💥‼️ 

What happens to your faith when you become fully persuaded that God is for you? In this first episode of God Is For Me, Pastor Matthew Allaria teaches why this revelation is foundational to strong faith and overcoming in the midst of pressure.

Beginning in Psalm 56, Pastor Matthew looks at David’s response to fear, opposition, and relentless pressure. David knew that God was aware of what he was facing and that God was not indifferent to his circumstances. In the middle of the battle, David could say with confidence, “God is for me.”

Pastor Matthew also looks at Romans 8 and the Apostle Paul’s confidence that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Even in tribulation, distress, persecution, or other difficult circumstances, the reality remains: God is for us.

This message challenges us to become rooted in that truth—not merely knowing it in our heads, but becoming persuaded of it in our hearts. Faith rests upon the revelation that God is for you, and strong faith gives you confidence to overcome.

Be encouraged as we begin this new series and learn to stand firmly on this foundational truth: God is for me.

🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🚨

In Part 12 of our series, "Blind Leaders Of The Blind – Podcasters, Politicians, & Preachers," Pastor Matthew reveals why intimacy with the Father is one of the greatest safeguards against spiritual deception. Teaching from Matthew 15, John 8, John 10, and Matthew 12, this message shows that religious knowledge alone is not enough to keep a believer from being deceived. Jesus exposed that the Pharisees knew the Scriptures but did not truly know the Father, leading them to misinterpret His Word and miss His heart. In this episode, you'll discover why knowing God's character is essential for rightly understanding Scripture, how intimacy with the Father helps you recognize the voice of the Good Shepherd, and why a personal relationship with God will protect you from blind leaders, false teaching, and spiritual deception in these last days.
