Have you ever mistaken enabling for kindness? Join Doug Apple and Mike Sharman as they confront the difficult but critical topic of enabling, exploring why it's a deceptive form of "help" that ultimately harms the people we care about. Using the tragic example of a recent church shooting, Mike explains how accommodating mental or spiritual illness, whether in an individual or an entire culture, only makes people smaller and prevents them from living up to their God-given potential.

In this powerful conversation, you will learn:

-- Why enabling a person's weakness is the most unkind thing you can do.

-- How true compassion involves helping people confront their problems rather than sweeping them under the rug.

-- The spiritual component of destructive behaviors and the role of demonic influence.

-- Why Christian culture provides protective boundaries that benefit everyone, even atheists.

-- The importance of self-sufficiency and interdependency in Christian community, as exemplified by a medical ministry like Share Healthcare.

A Journey of Faith and Miracles: Revival Down Under

Join us as Pastor Isaac Prather shares an incredible account of his mission trip to Australia, a journey he initially hesitated to take. Through a series of divine confirmations and unwavering faith, he traveled to Brisbane without any contacts. What followed was a testament to the power of obedience, as God opened doors and orchestrated a supernatural outpouring of His Spirit.

In this powerful episode, you'll hear about:

-- God's clear confirmations through prophetic words and dreams.

-- How a simple act of obedience—holding signs at a busy intersection—led to a divine connection with a local church.

-- The miraculous healing of a woman with stage 4 cancer and a man who had been blind for years.

-- A community where a familiar spirit was cast out of a young woman and a tumor behind another woman's ear vanished.

-- How an unexpected call to minister in another city, Toowoomba, led to revival and mass salvations.

This transcript serves as a powerful reminder that when we prioritize God's will and put aside our own agendas, He will show up and demonstrate His power through signs and wonders.

When the prophet Amos went to Bethel to prophesy against wicked nations, including Israel, he prefaced each condemnation with an interesting phrase. He said that for three sins and four God's judgment would fall upon them. What was the significance of this statement? In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we learn what the prophet meant and how it should sound a warning to our own generation.

Aligning Your Spirit, Soul, and Body for Divine Health

In this episode of Enter the Glory Zone, Dr. Edith Davis provides a deep dive into the spiritual principles that unlock and sustain divine healing. Drawing from her personal journey of recovery, she offers practical and powerful insights into why believers sometimes don't experience the full manifestation of God's promise of health.

Dr. Davis explains that while a born-again spirit is righteous and aligned with Christ, our soul (mind, will, and emotions) must also be renewed and brought into agreement with God's Word. She also touches on the importance of living a life free from unforgiveness and offense.

This episode covers:

-- The Triune Nature of Humanity: Understanding that we are a tri-part being with a spirit, soul, and body, and that all three must be in alignment for total health and well-being.

-- The Power of the Soul: A revelation of the mind's incredible power, and the necessity of aligning our thoughts and emotions with God's truth, rather than with our feelings or circumstances.

-- The Anointing: A profound look at the anointing—the power of God—that breaks yokes of poverty, sickness, and mental oppression.

-- Jesus' Ministry: A detailed breakdown of the four key areas Jesus was anointed to minister to, including healing the poor, the brokenhearted, the captives, and the bruised.

-- Our God-Given Authority: A reminder that we are designed to operate as sons and daughters of God, using our voices to activate the power of His Word on a voice-activated planet.

Winning the Battle with Praise, Not Panic

Are you facing a challenge that feels insurmountable? Do you believe the enemy has the final say? In this powerful teaching, Pastor Joseph Davis reminds us that God's power is not limited by our circumstances. He introduces the concept of a "now season"—a divine moment when God shifts the situation in your favor, regardless of the opposition. Using the story of King Jehoshaphat, Pastor Davis outlines a powerful strategy for victory.

Here are the key takeaways from this teaching:

-- You don't need the enemy to stop for God to bless you. Just as Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem in the midst of warfare, God can bless you and open doors while the enemy is still trying to curse you. He prepares a table for you "in the presence of your enemies."

-- The power of fasting as warfare. Fasting isn't just for calm seasons; it's a powerful tool for fighting in the midst of warfare. It accelerates God's purposes, brings clarity to confusion, and shifts your focus from carnal anxiety to being in tune with God's voice.

-- Unity is a fighting anointing. The entire community, including their children, stood together with Jehoshaphat. There is power in a unified family or group seeking God together.

-- Believe the prophetic word. When a prophetic word comes, you don't have to wait to see it happen before you believe. The moment God speaks, worship Him. Believing in God establishes you, but believing His prophetic word brings prosperity.

-- Praise confuses the enemy. The moment Jehoshaphat’s appointed singers began to praise, God set an ambushment against their enemies. When you praise God in the middle of your battle, He will confuse the enemy and cause them to destroy one another.

-- God will give you the spoil. God not only promised victory but also abundant spoil. It took Jehoshaphat’s people three days just to collect all the riches. God will not only deliver you but also restore everything the enemy tried to steal, giving you more than you had before.

Following the Good Shepherd, Not the Stranger

The world is full of competing voices, but as believers, we are called to know and follow only one: the voice of our Good Shepherd. In this message, Pastor Omar Ellison exposes the tactics of the enemy—the "stranger" mentioned in John 10—and provides a clear path to victory.

Learn how to overcome the enemy's whispers as Pastor Ellison explains the three essential steps to an overcoming life:

-- The Blood of the Lamb: Accepting the sacrifice of Jesus is the foundational step to defeating the enemy's hold.

-- The Word of Our Testimony: Our life is a living testament to the goodness of Jesus. When we share what He has done, we proclaim His victory.

-- Love Not Your Life Unto Death: This final and crucial step is a daily decision to die to self. Overcoming the enemy requires us to deny our own will, our own desires, and our own way of doing things, and instead, to follow the King's way, even if it means losing our earthly life.

Living with a Kingdom Mindset

Join Apostle Otis B. Young as he reveals the transformative power of a kingdom mindset. This isn't just a different way of thinking; it's a new way of living, where your perspective is shaped by God's will and your actions are driven by His glory. Learn how to navigate life's challenges by understanding that true success is found in being in the center of God's will, not in worldly comfort or accolades.

In this message, Apostle Young explains key principles for cultivating a powerful faith:

-- A kingdom mindset prioritizes God's will and glory, giving Him control over your life.

-- Faith is the currency of the kingdom, the only means by which we can access God's blessings, promises, and favor.

-- Our faith must be "now faith"—current and active, not based on past experiences.

-- Prayer is the transaction, but faith is the currency that moves the heart of God.

-- Our words have power only when they are connected to faith; otherwise, they are just empty rhetoric.

-- God often allows us to be in situations that stretch our faith, not to stress us.

-- Having enough faith to simply obey God, even when it sounds illogical, is a sign of true spiritual maturity.

Guest speaker Addy Reilly delivers a heartfelt and transparent message, weaving her personal testimony of walking with God with the ancient story of Isaac and Rebekah. She challenges listeners to step out of their comfort zones and into a life of authentic faith, illustrating what it means to be the pure, serving, and surrendered bride of Christ.

-- You are the pure bride, not because of your actions, but because your heart is unmixed and your eyes are set on the Father. This is not about being flawless, but about bringing your raw, broken self to Jesus so that He can make you pure.

-- The bride of Christ is willing to serve, not out of obligation, but out of a deep love and gratitude for what the Lord has done. Service becomes a natural overflow of a heart that is fixed on Him.

-- The Lord is asking for you to make room for Him in your life. This means actively quieting the noise and setting aside your own plans to sit and commune with Him, allowing Him to transform you from the inside out. True freedom comes from a life surrendered to His perfect will.

References:

(1) We were discussing the Church of Latter-Day Saints or Mormonism. LDS cites 2 Thess. 2:3-4 as supporting their view of the total apostasy of the church. However, the common evangelical interpretation of the entire chapter 2 of 2 Thessalonians is elucidated by discussing a few terms:

     a. That Day (v.2). Usually it is interpreted as the day of the Lord – the climactic time when Christ returns in glory to judge all the world and establish his kingdom (compare 1 Thess. 5:2 and Joel 2:31). The apostle Paul is reassuring believers in Christ that that day has NOT YET COME, because certain events must happen FIRST.

     b. Most scholars commonly understand the phrase “falling away” (v. 3) as referring to a widespread departure from the true Christian faith before Christ’s return. Some view it as the rise of false teachers, moral compromise, and rejection of biblical truth (cf. 1 Tim. 4:1, and 2 Tim. 3:1-5).

     c. The phrase “Man of sin or man of lawlessness” (v. 3) is commonly identified with the Antichrist– a future, personal, charismatic WORLD LEADER, who opposes God, exalts himself, and demands worship (cf. Dan. 7:25; Rev. 13). The Antichrist is viewed as the ultimate embodiment of human rebellion against God.

     d.  The phrase “mystery of lawlessness” (v. 7) refers to the hidden, ongoing power of REBELLION against God, already at work in the world, even before the Antichrist is revealed. This mystery means that lawlessness is already operating in subtle, deceptive ways, restrained now by God‘s appointed power (often understood as the Holy Spirit or a divinely ordained authority).

     e.  “Coming of the lawless one” (v.9) describes the Antichrist’s public rise to power, accompanied by satanic deception, counterfeit miracles, and persuasive lies. His arrival is contrasted with Christ’s true coming – the Antichrist’s rule will be short-lived and destroyed by the brightness of Jesus‘s return (v. 8).

(2) Jesus promised His followers that He would be with them in their ministry of making disciples, baptizing, and teaching “even unto the end of the age” (Matt. 28:20). He promised that He would build His church, and that the “gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matt. 16:18).

Such promises would have been BROKEN had Jesus allowed His church to go into complete apostasy. While the Bible does mention that “some [would] depart the faith” (1 Tim. 4:1), it never implies that a great apostasy would take place prior to His return. The fact that “some would depart the faith” implies that others would not. God’s word stands forever and will not fail to accomplish His purpose (Isa. 40:8; 55:11) and that is totally contrary to the Mormon doctrine of the great apostasy.

(3) Salvation in Mormonism is by WORKS, including faithfulness to LDS church leaders, LDS baptism, and tithing.

(4) The gospel of Mormonism is one of WORKS, which is contrary to the gospel of grace taught in Eph. 2:8-10. The Mormon gospel falls into the category of “a different gospel” (Gal. 1:8).

(5) LDS believe in a different AFTER LIFE than that of Christianity. They believe that all people end up in one of 3 kingdoms of glory — the celestial, the terrestrial, or the telestial rather than what the Bible asserts that people will end up either in heaven or hell in the after life, depending on whether they have trusted in Christ.

     a. The celestial kingdom is the highest degree of glory and is inhabited by faithful Mormons.

     b. The terrestrial kingdom is reserved for non-Mormons who live moral lives as well as “less than valiant” Mormons

     c. The telestial kingdom is populated by those who have been carnal and sinful throughout life.
