Wave 94

Stepping Into Unwavering Faith

-- Expectation is different from basic faith because faith believes that God is, while expectation believes that God is able, moving us from doctrinal learning to personal experience.

-- When we anchor our lives to God, our expectation is tied directly to His character, His promises, and His absolute inability to lie.

-- Many believers settle for half-hearted prayers wrapped in doubt, but everything promised in Scripture is already the expressed will of God for His children.

-- True expectation is not wishful thinking or hoping for a good outcome; it is sitting on the edge of your seat, fully confident that God will act on your behalf.

-- By letting go of external distractions and human limitations, we can stop focusing on circumstances and start focusing fully on the miracle-working power of God.

-- God is not only able to meet your deepest needs, He is actively willing to prove His power and bring total transformation to your life.

"We abuse God's love when we forget that we are already recipients of God's favor."

— Father Herb Bailey

Embracing Our True Identity as God's Masterpiece

-- As beginners in our own projects, we often envision perfection, only to find our reality falling short; just as artists paint over mistakes, the Master knows when to redirect our paths.

-- The biblical imagery of the vineyard reveals a love story filled with care and high expectations, which tragically turns into a lament when wild grapes grow instead of a sweet harvest.

-- The illusion of control and the temptation of power lead tenants to forget their place, choosing a path of rebellion instead of faithful stewardship under the landowner.

-- True faith means trusting unreservedly that we are already loved, allowing us to abandon every false, exhausting way of trying to earn or control that love.

-- Moving from the mindset of a volunteer to the calling of a servant changes everything, reminding us that we belong to God and are created in advance to do good works.

Interview by Doug Apple of Wave 94

Finding Your Anchor in Absolute Truth

Unmasking the World's Deception

-- Many believers unintentionally allow the secular world system, cultural norms, and human convenience to dictate their daily decisions rather than anchoring themselves firmly in spiritual laws.

-- The kingdom of darkness constantly pushes a narrative built entirely on deception, aiming to keep believers blind, distracted, and operating on mere worldly facts instead of eternal truth.

-- True transformation requires recognizing when we have locked the Holy Ghost away inside our own busy routines, man-made checklists, and comfortable habits.

-- Walking out our faith means refusing to compromise on God's word, even when navigating difficult social settings, political choices, or challenging interpersonal relationships.

-- Yielding to the Comforter requires daily surrender, stepping past our fleshly frustrations, and allowing God's love to minister directly to the people right in front of us.

When we think about the earthly ministry of Jesus, our minds naturally gravitate toward the manger in Bethlehem, the cross, and the empty tomb. However, Scripture reveals that the story of redemption does not end at the resurrection. The bodily ascension of Jesus into heaven was the planned conclusion of His earthly mission and the glorious inauguration of His heavenly reign.

Without the ascension, we are left to wonder where Jesus is now and how He currently exercises His authority. The biblical record presents the descent of the Son in the incarnation and His subsequent ascent as one complete, seamless plan. Today, Christ occupies a heavenly throne in His glorified humanity, acting as our great High Priest, sympathizing with our weaknesses, and ruling over every earthly and heavenly power.

-- The ascension is not an afterthought or a mere departure, but the public installation of Jesus as King over all creation.

-- Through the hypostatic union, Jesus retains His full divinity while permanently carrying His true human nature into the presence of the Father.

-- Christ's bodily return to heaven ensures that we have a living High Priest who intercedes for us and pours out spiritual gifts upon His church.

Unlocking the Power of the Secret Place

True spiritual strength is never forged in the spotlight. In this compelling teaching, Apostle Otis B. Young challenges believers to move beyond religious performance and build an authentic, private altar of prayer. Drawing from the early church model in Acts and the teachings of Jesus in Matthew, this message highlights why public ministry, praise, and corporate prayer can never replace your personal time alone with God.

Whether you are navigating a difficult season, battling internal distractions, or simply trying to break free from pretense, this episode offers practical wisdom on how to protect your prayer life and position yourself for God's open rewards.

The Importance of the Private Altar: Why your car, your bedroom, or any quiet space can become a powerful meeting place with God.

Moving Past Pretense: Recognizing the dangers of a religious spirit and learning how to be real before God and others.

Shutting the Door to Distraction: Practical steps to silence doubt, eliminate outside noise, and focus entirely on God.

Supporting Spiritual Leadership: Understanding how believers can carry responsibility so that leaders can stay devoted to prayer and the Word.

The Promise of Open Reward: Discovering the direct connection between unseen private devotion and God's public blessing.

"The tongue can bring death or life" (Proverbs 18:21). "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" is one of the biggest lies we were ever taught. Words are never "just words."

In Week 1 of our series My Big Fat Mouth, Pastor Ryan Kramer looks at what the Bible says about the power of words. We all carry words spoken over us years ago, and we've all excused our own with "I was only joking" or "I was just angry." But Scripture gives our words enormous weight. Using Proverbs 18:21 and Jesus' teaching in Matthew 12, this message shows three reasons your words matter so much:

Our words become weight people carry.

Our words create the atmosphere we live in.

Our words carry consequences beyond this life.

You'll also get a practical challenge for this week: weigh your words before you release them. Before you speak, text, post, or comment, pause and ask whether your words will add a burden or equip someone for the journey. And when you get it wrong, learn how to take responsibility and begin repairing the damage.

Will You Bend the Knee? A Prophetic Call for the Last Days

Step into a powerful exploration of prophecy, history, and modern culture with Servant Marcia on Heaven on Earth Ministries of Jesus Christ. In this message, we examine the critical question inspired by the book of Daniel: Will you bend the knee to the systems of this world, or will you maintain absolute loyalty to God? Drawing parallels between the paganistic society of Babylon and our current cultural landscape in 2026, this teaching exposes the subtle and overt pressures believers face to compromise their faith.

-- Servant Marcia explains the historical meaning of bending the knee as a medieval act of total submission and loyalty, warning that today's believers face an equivalent spiritual test of allegiance.

-- Using the story of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, the message highlights how refusing to conform to a corrupt culture brings divine favor, wisdom, and distinction far beyond worldly measures.

-- The teaching breaks down Nebuchadnezzar's prophetic dream of the great image, connecting the mysterious mixture of iron and miry clay to modern technological advancements, artificial intelligence, and the conditions of the days of Noah.

-- Listeners are challenged to examine their own hearts against the backdrop of spiritual warfare, recognizing that the end of the church age requires a faith that perseveres, waits, and endures until the return of Jesus Christ.

(1) In the last 2 centuries challenges to the Christian worldview have increased in both intensity and sophistication. The skeptic’s criticism of Scripture, atheism touts that its worldview is the only scientific option, and socialism’s relentless push for political power have created a beachhead in the war of ideas.

(2) This verse John 17:17 is interesting because Jesus did not use an adjective alethinos or alethes for “true,” which we might have expected Jesus to say, “Your word is true.” Rather, Jesus uses the noun aletheia (truth), to say that God’s word is not simply “true,” but it is truth itself.

(3) Wayne Grudem says in his book Bible Doctrine, p. 41, “The difference is SIGNIFICANT, for this statement encourages us to think of the Bible not simply as being ‘true’ in the sense that it conforms to SOME HIGHER STANDARD OF TRUTH, but rather to think of the Bible as itself is the FINAL STANDARD of truth. . . . Thus, we are to think of the Bible as. . . . the REFERENCE POINT by which every other claim to truthfulness is to be MEASURED. Those assertions that conform with Scripture are ‘true’ while those that do not conform with Scripture are not true.”

(4) “Pluralism is one aspect of an entire contemporary view of the world called postmodernism. Postmodernism would not simply hold that we can never find absolute truth; it would say that there is NO SUCH THING as absolute truth. All attempts to claim truth for one idea or another are just the result of our own background, culture, biases, and personal agendas (especially our desire for power). Such a view of the world is of course DIRECTLY OPPOSED to a biblical view, which sees the Bible as truth that has been given to us from God.”

(5) This war of ideas has been raging for centuries, and has now reached a near eruption. C. S. Lewis, the great Christian apologist around the time of the WWII, recognized what is at stake in the battle of ideas when he declared, “To be ignorant and simple now — not to be able to meet the enemies ON THEIR OWN GROUND — would be to throw down our WEAPONS, and to BETRAY our . . . . brethren who have under God, NO DEFENCE . . . . against the INTELLECTUAL ATTACKS of the heathen. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because BAD PHILOSOPHY needs to be ANSWERED.”

(6) Today there are 2 competing philosophies on the issue of the question of ORIGINS including the origin of LIFE and the origin of MORALITY. One is the theory of evolution, which says that all human beings are merely an ACCIDENT, evolved from a slimy ALGAE in the PRIMORDIAL SOUP. The other view is Gen. 1:1, which informs us, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” So the challenge is between either evolution or creation.

(7) Evolution is one of those bad philosophies that needs to be answered. Evolution can be disputed by several lines of evidence, including a fossil record indicating NO CHANGE OVER TIME, and confirmation that MUTATIONS CANNOT ACCUMULATE.

(8) Darwinism claims that the SMALL CHANGES seen in ADAPTATION can ACCUMULATE and lead to LARGE CHANGES over eons of time. In macroevolution, one kind of organism (such as a reptile) supposedly can become another kind of organism (such as a bird), requiring entirely new FEATURES, new body TYPES, and an entirely new DNA. But there is NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE for macroevolution.

(9) Darwinian theory SPECULATES that species will PROGRESS, transitional links will be FOUND, so that new species will DEVELOP. That’s the evolutionist’s HOPE, but I will show when we discuss the book Darwin’s Bluff by Robert Shedinger that it has all turned out to be a PIPE DREAM because Darwin could not produce the evidence that he claimed he would eventually produce.

(10) The information I share now was informed by an article from Earth’s Epic Tales, the book Fast Facts on False Teachings by Ron Carlson and Ed Decker, and other facts I have already discussed.
