The Book Matrix

I find the social dynamics of this Coronavirus scare to be fascinating. Each person appears to be getting locked into a view of the situation that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Be a disruptor! Dispatch the dark cloud and move on with your day!With only ~4500 cases in a world of 7 Billion you stand a better chance of dying from a temperature related death (like freezing or burning) than Coronavirus. And yet the world shut down for this?Whatever it might profit us, it's not worth dwelling in such a dark cloud. It's time to dispatch it!

This is a deliverance study for Christians, so it's not for everyone, and certainly not for the faint of heart!If you are a Christian and you wake up tired and especially exhausted in the morning (even after you have forgotten your dreams) and you want to know why, then this study is for you.This shocking revelation came to me when I was reviewing a book entitled, Spiritual Warfare During your sleep Volume 1 & 2 by Dr. Alisha Anderson. I knew that while I have made changes during my day that could affect my dreams, I didn't realize I could make changes in my dreams that could affect my day.This podcast is a primer for the review I will do on Dr. Anderson's book review. It sets the stage and clearly articulates the need for this education.Step #1 is to receive ChristStep #2 is explained in this podcast.For the entire deliverance series click here

Perhaps you've heard about the 5.7 earthquake in Utah on March 18, 2020. This is a very practical podcast that is the kickoff for my new series on the last days. It opens with the question: Are these the last days? It then uses Scripture to reveal everything that will have value in the last days and gives you insight into where not to live. It doesn't tell you how to feel, but I also do not play on your fears, and I cite the other resources I have that will enable you to arm yourself with wisdom so that you are not naked, exposed and overwhelmed by what might be coming. Since I wasn't expecting armageddon, I didn't create a program for it, but one is coming. In the meantime, I have many useful assets in this regard already: For more information, visit my website because I have created a collection of last days podcasts from audio I have already made that you can find here -> https://www.thebookmatrix.com/search/label/The%20Last%20Days

These are the times that try men's souls... This is an empowering message for a discouraging time.For a moment it makes sense to acknowledge the darkness, but the bulk of this podcast is about resisting it rather than dwelling on it and there is an important difference! Because we cannot resist what we fail to acknowledge, but we do not defeat it by marinating in it. We must be careful not to allow the darkness to overcome us. It is written: do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. And it is also written: the light shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.Meaning, that God is calling you to be a light and warning you that you will not make sense to those who are in darkness, until after they are convinced by the self evident nature of your light. They will understand when they join you.The battle between light and darkness is one of conversion. Like the game of Othello, darkness tries to jump light forcing it to change it’s color. But light should respond by refusing to turn, even when it’s jumped. And then by multiplying itself rather than becoming discouraged and behaving overwhelmed. Because make no mistake, the state of being overwhelmed is a behavior. You are only overwhelmed when you give up. And so the only thing we should be failing at, is failing to give up!

This podcast is for you if: you want to know if the Coronavirus is deadly, and especially if you want to know if it you will get it and dieThose are the real questions, aren't they? Do you really want to hear me talk about microbes and germs and products you can by from me including potions and new ways to clean your house? Or do you have simpler questions, like: Hey, is this deadly? And will I get it?

A book by Ryan LeStrangeIf you have ever asked yourself:Why is this happening to me?What did I do to deserve this?How can I make it stop?And can I win? If those questions resonate with you, then Ryan's book is for you! Yes, you can my friends! You can not only win, according to Ryan, you can also plunder your enemy.I felt prompted to read Ryan's book at 1:00 AM in the night. I posted my podcast called the Miracle in the Scarlet Car. If you haven't heard that one, I suggest you check it out. It's gripping and it relates to this podcast in a very direct and meaningful way. In particular, there was one comment that stood out and really struck me as revelatory. And that was the idea of the spoils of war. After winning a spiritual warfare battle, we really should plunder the enemy. And so far as I know, I have never done that yet. What a novel idea to find in a book!In the Foreward by Jennifer LeClaire she informs us that Ryan identifies three of the most common types of demonic spiritual attacks:To discourage our heartsWeary our souls andUnleash sickness against our bodiesAnd she says that he will give us a clear pathway to victory over the demonic forces.Click here for my full selection of deliverance book reviews.

In his quest to experiment, learn and build his own live podcast show, Tom went on the Live broadcast called the Leroy and Earl Show, which he joined as a participant.Chuck and his wife Dawn graciously agreed to let him post a condensed version of the show with commentary on this channel. But you can find the full version on theirs which is here -> https://leroyandearl.podbean.com/ And you can click here for the specific episode.In this Leroy and Earl episode, Dawn Jones described her incredible journey across the United States on bicycle with her dad. She traveled 3,700 miles through 13 states by bicycle in a total of 62 days (54 on the bike and 8 resting days)!Tom had some trouble figuring out how to join and participate and so stumbled onto the show a little confused before revealing in no uncertain terms that this was his first experience as a participant on a live show.On a day filled with challenges, Chuck found himself without both his cohost and Dawn (who was called away for a brief emergency) and so being the podcast veterans they are, Chuck and Tom just rolled with it. We ended up talking for 30 minutes and Tom shared his embarrassing bike experience, providing contrast revealing just how awesome Dawn’s amazing achievement was!Thanks for your gracious hospitality Chuck and Dawn! I had a lot of fun on your show!

I gave this book 1 star because it aspires to nefarious goals and it's terrible writing. Therefore consider this a podcast book review critique. I make many references to the earlier podcast entitled Meno by Plato so you may want to listen to that one first.If you are familiar with Plato's work, then you know that Socrates has a passion for debate. The stakes are high this time, because in this case Socrates is arguing to save his life.The book opens to the very public trial of Socrates who divides his accusers into two camps: those of long ago and those in the present day. He argues that his accusers of long ago hate him because they are filled with jealousy. According to him, a friend asked the Oracle if Socrates was the smartest man and she said, yes. This sent Socrates on a quest because he disagreed with her assessment. He planned to find someone who exceeded him in wisdom so he could confront the Oracle and demand an explanation. First he went to the politicians and questioned the man of the best reputation. After concluding with his questions he judged the man to be among the greatest of fools and said so publicly. This had the expected outcome: the man and his friends hated Socrates and sought his ruin. According to Socrates they circulated lies about him. After meeting with the politicians next he turned to the poets and finally to the artisans. In each case, after questioning these men, he publicly humiliated them and afterwards concluded they were fools. Again, this was group that comprised the accusers of long ago.The second accusation was that Socrates was teaching the people atheism and corrupting the children. They further insinuated that he did this for pay and his accusers warned the judges and the people that Socrates spoke with a forceful eloquence. Get the full list of classics here
