TAKEAWAYS

Greg says some pastors are cowards for not addressing the topic of demonic attacks

Sin is usually the starting point of demonic influence, so people just need to deal with sin in their lives, and deliverance isn’t necessary

A key component of addressing spiritual oppression: read the Bible and get serious about prayer

Surround yourself with strong Christians who will pray over you and with you

New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is leading in the polls. We look at his views and contrast them with scripture for a clear picture of why he should not be mayor of New York and why Christians need to stop promoting socialism in cities all over the country.

Dr. JB Hixson

SORRY, NO VIDEO VERSION TODAY! Mary welcomes back JB Hixson today to help us all turn down the volume on our lives. We are inordinately busy – and not just that, we are tuning in the world more and more and tuning out that still small voice, the one thing that can give us strength and comfort. Sometimes we don’t even know how unbalanced our lives are until we tune it all out and spend time with Jesus. God knows what we need, in every generation. The world is so chaotic, and adding to the geopolitical insanity, there are countless voices and opinions presenting other ways to view everything. Exhausted yet? Maybe you are but don’t realize it. JB and Mary look at David the sweet Psalmist, and his declaration that what we really need is to draw near to Jesus – and drink of the living water He offers. David, and that deer, panted for the water during the most difficult times, and so should we – whether we are on the run from enemies, navigating apostasy in the church, watching the news about man’s inhumanity to man – all these things sap our strength. He is our peace, and He knows what will make for our peace: whatsoever is true, lovely, and praiseworthy. Let’s unplug and satisy that thirst.  Have a long drink of cool water.
