Our favorite Radio Reverend is back with “the Allegory of Demons”

Demons or impure spirits are exciting to discuss this time of year but in the discussion we often overlook the reality of demons for the fantasy.

Often those with mental health problems are attributed as demon possessed which can lead to homelessness, death or imprisonment.

The Bible does not call us to ostracize those that are “possessed” or simply pray but to actually support those of us with mental health issues.

The language of demons and spirits was the only language biblical authors had to discuss mental health but through history this combination of concepts has led to a stigma that the church needs to correct.

There is nothing wrong with those that deal with their mental health.

Our favorite radio Reverend is finally back with a moral interpretation of

“Monsters in the Bible”

Monsters exist in every culture, they represent the fears of each people group and by understanding the monsters we can better understand these peoples.

In the Bible monsters like Goliath are meant to represent the fear the Israelites have for their neighboring empires.

While monsters like the leviathan or behemoth, represent the fear of nature.

Whether it be nature or other people, God is greater than our “monsters”. Since God has secured our future we can move not in fear but instead love.

Even monsters deserve Love and as Gods children we are expected to face our monsters with Love

Our favorite Radio Reverend is back with “Give it all ya got!”

As we dredge through life the weight of everything can cause us to detach from life and result in us holding back or hiding from life.

We deserve more.

God calls us to give all we have not to our worldly bosses but to the kingdom. Our effort is not for the world but our soul. It nourishes us to live life to the fullest.

When we place this energy I’m the wrong space it can result in us deteriorating our faith but that’s why we must place our persistence in the right place

Our favorite Radio Reverend is back with “The Main Mission”

Missionary work is largely criticized and controversial due to its relationship with colonial invasions.

The purpose of Missionary work is to invite others to the kingdom not invade others to make room for the kingdom.

Mission work should be performed at home first. Too often Christian’s travel across the world but ignore their neighbors when serving God.

Mission work is an invite to the kingdom not an invasion of the kingdom. Our spirit while on mission should be filled of Faith not pity, care not condescending, respect not ignorance.

Our favorite Radio Reverend is back with “Personal Prayer”

Prayer is the foundation of faith and is publicly criticized often despite the fact that Prayer is meant to be personal.

Prayer is connection despite circumstances. Prayer is not for solutions but for expansion.

We are worth connecting with. God designed us to connect despite circumstances

Our favorite radio Reverend is back with “Fab Fasting”

Faith can often be trendy and the acts of Faith such as Fasting can find itself in the spotlight. While this can be great for the kingdoms publicity it can have drastic results on individual believers.

While Faith without works is dead, Fasting without intention is a diet.

We deserve to be in alignment and to be free from the burdens that keep us away from God.

The intention of Fasting is to align one’s self with God not to receive some advancement or achieve some goal.

“Acts of Faith”

James 2:16-18

“Faith Without works is just fake“

James ,brother of Jesus, probably wrote this after seeing people running around using his brothers name without actually loving up to his brothers legacy.

Sadly in the modern day we have the same problem. Too often Faith is used in response to something we don’t like instead of a proactive solution. Faith must permeate our mind, body, and soul not just our fears and politics.

If our faith is leading us to anger instead of empathy then it is likely fear not faith

Our favorite Radio Reverend is back with “mystical interpretations of Jonah”

The Bible is full of numbers that have double meanings and the modern reader can use these to better understand the word

5=Grace. Jonah is a book of 5 chapters and the fifth prophet of the 12 minor prophets revealing that the story is about Gods grace.

3= starting steps. In order for Jonah to repent he must start over multiple times. Shown in the whale for 3 days and the journey to Nineveh

40= generation

Grace allows us a generation to correct our actions. God warns Nineveh of their doom in 40 days. The reveals that Gods grace gives space and time for redemption before destruction

Our favorite radio Reverend is back with “moral interpretation”

Many biblical stories are meant to teach moral lessons and instruct how to live out these morals.

The book of Jonah teaches us how to repent throughout the book.

1st stop: Jonah like many of us run from God when we sin but in reality this is when we should turn to God

2nd Shift: change the situation or space that causes us to sin. The king of Nineveh looked crazy to onlookers but was receiving blessings internally

3rd sustain: we are human, we will fall short. But the story of Jonah reminds us that God constantly offer’s repentance, if we only just stay by Gods side.

Our favorite Radio Reverend is back with

“Biblical Interpretations: allegory”

The Bible is a big book with a lot of authors. Many of which wrote with the intention of allegory or double meaning.

The book of Jonah can be read from a Allegorical interpretation. This interpretation can inspire the modern reader to continue their relationship with God in the midst of doubt and challenges.

Jonah can be interpreted as an allegory for Israel or the modern reader. Jonah begins with doubt then finds himself in trouble only to be redeemed and to redeem.

This cyclical nature is not only true for jonah and is real but is mean to reveal the nature of humanity.
