Do You Walk in the Spirit or Flounder in the Flesh? How to Win the Consummate Battle! – with Melvin Valomparambil

What a conundrum! We're alive in the flesh in this world, so how do we walk in the Spirit? Theologian Melvin Valomparambil, author of "Walking in the New Creation", explains the consummate battle of the Spirit versus the Flesh. Daily, our choices manifest either the fruits of the Spirit* or the works of the Flesh**. There's no neutrality. Come out of the cold and worldly works of the flesh and nestle into the uplifting Arms of the Almighty! Feast on the Fruits of the Spirit, and bundle up in the bountiful blessings of the warm and wondrous Word of God, as it mends and renews your mind, and ushers you to your reserved seat in heavenly places in Christ Jesus!

*Fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (Galatians 5:22-23)

**Works of the Flesh: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings (Galatians 5:19-21)

Journey through the astonishing past, the precarious present and into the world's future with author and Apocrypha investigator Stephen Strutt as he walks us through the amazing content of his latest book "Esdras Insights". (Ezdras, and Esdras are Greco-Latin variations of the Hebrew name Ezra.) With utmost respect and authentic sensitivity to God's Word, Stephen explains, "God and His Spirit are in charge, not human intellect. The Bible and the Apocrypha cannot be understood from a skeptical worldview. Their meaning, hidden from doubters, can only be perceived by those saved by grace through Jesus Christ!" 

A fantastic interview with Steve, permeated with his trademark apocryphal enthusiasm!

Because of the times we live in, some of the psalms I pray the most are the imprecatory psalms. These are powerful prayers for evil to cease and justice to be done for the innocent. So in the first half of this New Year’s Nightlight podcast, I am going to share some of my favourite imprecatory psalms. 

As believers we have a duty to pray for God's protection from cruelty, oppression and evil. The imprecatory psalms reassure us that when the iniquity of the wicked reaches its full measure, then the Lord in his righteousness will judge the world, evil will be destroyed, Satan defeated and righteousness established in the kingdom of God on earth. 

Then in the second half, you'll hear some of my favorite Messianic psalms which foretell of the soon coming golden age of Christ's 1000 year reign over the earth from Mount Zion in Jerusalem! Then and only then, under the supreme powerful rule and reign of the Prince of Peace, will all wars finally cease and the world at last be governed fairly and well with true justice, liberty, peace, plenty and happiness for all! Hallelujah!

So much to look forward to! 

Happy new year!

On February 6, 2023, two powerful earthquakes and over 100 aftershocks devastated southern Turkey and northwest Syria, killing more than 58,000 people. Over half a million buildings were significantly damaged, forcing some 3 million people to relocate. With memories of misery on an incalculable scale still fresh in mind, John Patrick, author and Middle-East refugee relief coordinator, recounts his survival in the midst of this catastrophe and the chaotic aftermath resulting in tragedies upon tragedy, disasters within the disaster. Although a seasoned aid worker, John questioned, "Where is God in this destruction, lives crushed under pancaked buildings, death of children, loss of limbs and loved ones?" Discover and marvel at the path trod by those who cherish their duty, even in the midst of utter devastation, to be God's angels and benevolent beacons of hope!
