Wave 94

-- Your past does not determine your future when your hope is centered in the gospel of God’s redeeming grace. God does not just want to forgive your past; He wants to use it.

-- We all have a "BC" (Before Christ) history filled with mistakes, but in Christ, we become new creatures. God does not just improve our old selves; He transforms us completely.

-- When you feel the weight of shame, remember that God’s grace is greater than your failures. Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.

-- Your identity is no longer found in your addiction, your divorce, or your mistakes. Your true identity is found in being "in Christ."

-- God specializes in redeeming broken stories. He refuses to let your pain have the final word, and He can even restore the years the locusts have eaten.

This teaching takes a closer look at the power of determination in our spiritual walk. Instead of viewing our breakthrough as the finish line, Evangelist Jacqueline Pruitt encourages us to use that moment as a launchpad for deeper intimacy with the Father.

-- Hold on with determination and intentionality, refusing to loosen your grip just because the pressure has lifted.

-- Evaluate the weight you are carrying, whether it is unnecessary people, things, or activities, to ensure you are not acting from the flesh.

-- Stay focused on the Giver rather than just the gifts, as the enemy will try to distract your focus when he cannot stop the blessing.

-- Understand the difference between losing something, where it is taken from you, and forfeiting something, where you willingly let it go.

-- Make the shift from seeking God’s hand for your needs to seeking His face, which allows Him to trust you with His presence.

Master Your Mouth, Master Your Destiny

The words you speak are not merely empty sounds dissolving into the air, they are the literal construction materials for your reality. In this profound teaching, Pastor Omar Ellison breaks down the book of James and the book of Proverbs to expose the spiritual mechanics of human speech. Many believers live under the false assumption that God or the devil holds total control over their daily outcomes. However, Scripture reveals that life and death reside directly in the power of your own tongue.

When life puts pressure on you, whatever is hidden in your subconscious will inevitably spill out. Positive thinking is a wonderful trait, but it lacks the spiritual authority to shift a crisis. True faith requires vocal expression. By understanding that the entire kingdom of God operates on a voice activated system, you can stop giving license to hellish influences and start anchoring your life in heavenly decrees.

Main Points From the Message:

-- The word "tame" means to reclaim from the wilderness or to subdue, which is exactly what the Holy Spirit desires to do with our wild, undisciplined speech.

-- Your mouth functions as a steering mechanism for your physical body and your entire life, much like a tiny bit controls a massive horse or a small rudder steers a great ship against fierce winds.

-- The tongue acts as a spiritual fountain that should never emit both sweet and bitter water, meaning believers must eliminate negative speech, complaining, and murmuring.

-- Heaven and hell both require your legal license to operate in your situation, and you grant that license directly through the words you choose to speak.

-- True faith is never silent, as Romans 10 establishes that spiritual breakthrough and salvation require a dynamic combination of believing in the heart and confessing with the mouth.

-- God is legally obligated to perform His own words when spoken in faith, allowing you to construct a blessed environment even when your current physical senses see darkness.

What does a catchy children's rhyme have to do with ancient philosophy, the origin of evil, and human freedom?

In this episode of Anchored by Truth, hosts Victoria K. and RD Fierro unpack the surprisingly deep theology woven into Crystal Sea’s song, "The ABC’s of Faith." Focusing on a crucial sequence of four letters, they map out how God moves from eternal self-existence to a hands-on ruler of our daily lives.

By looking closely at the lyrical progression, this discussion challenges our cultural aversion to kings and authority, revealing that living without godly limits doesn't create freedom, it creates chaos. Whether you are a parent looking for innovative ways to pass along your faith, or a believer wanting to deepen your own grasp of the character of God, this episode offers a refreshing, musically driven anchor for your soul.

Key takeaways from this episode include:

-- Understanding God’s attribute of aseity, meaning He is entirely self-existent, uncreated, and independent of everything in the universe.

-- Exploring the deliberate theological flow from the eternal "I AM" (I), to Jesus coming to earth (J), bringing the kingdom of heaven (K), and establishing His position as our Lord and "boss" (L).

-- Why human rebellion against authority makes sense with earthly governments, but fails when applied to the perfect, loving lordship of Jesus Christ.

-- Insights from the book Prodigal's Advocate regarding how trying to master our own lives usually results in tyrannizing ourselves through addictions and destructive habits.

-- The reality that true freedom is not the license to do whatever we want, but having the supernatural power to do what is right and just.

-- The vital importance of using creative mediums like music to impart foundational, orderly biblical truths to children before they face the chaotic temptations of the world.

In a culture obsessed with instant gratification and outward giftings, God is calling His people back to foundational spiritual character. Drawing from the book of Nehemiah and Galatians, Apostle Otis B. Young delivers a timely, unfiltered mandate on why the body of Christ must prioritize the fruit of self-control over mere talent. True spiritual maturity is not measured by the loudness of our praise or the fluency of our spiritual language, but by our ability to remain unbothered, disciplined, and unified under pressure.

-- We must recognize that the Holy Spirit produces a single, unified fruit of the Spirit that manifests in multiple traits, meaning we cannot claim to walk in love without also walking in discipline.

-- God often utilizes intentional delays—working like a crockpot or an oven rather than a microwave—to slowly develop lasting patience and emotional regulation within us.

-- True spiritual authority is demonstrated when we choose to dismiss distractions and refuse to retaliate in the flesh, especially when dealing with foolish arguments or difficult people.

-- Building a secure spiritual wall requires us to close every gap created by personal agendas, secret sins, and unforgiveness so that the corporate flow of God is not hindered.

-- We are called to establish a genuine hedge of protection around our families, leaders, and community members, committing to cover one another in prayer until full recovery takes place.

Driven by Something Bigger Than Yourself

In this powerful message, Bishop Gary Burd shares a lifetime of wisdom on what it truly means to live a life consumed by a transcendent cause. Drawing from his 58 years of ministry and intense cross-country motorcycle journeys, Bishop Burd unpacks the profound spiritual reality of what happens when you stop merely reading the Bible and start mingling your life completely with the Holy Spirit. He challenges the church to wake up from a boring, comfortable, and religious existence, and instead allow God to impregnate them with visions, ideas, and a burning holy compassion that drives them outside the walls of the church to touch a hurting community.

-- Every person who crosses your path is a divine appointment ordained by God, requiring us to slow down and notice them.

-- A transcendent cause is something given by God that drives you beyond your natural limits, causing you to spend your life and energy in ways you normally wouldn't.

-- True intimacy with God means a mingling of lives, which allows the Holy Spirit to impregnate you with His vision, purpose, and ideas.

-- Operating out of religious duty without true divine impregnation leads to empty activity and lacks the supernatural compassion needed to effect real change.

-- Water baptism is a total surrender and a symbol of dying to your old self-centered nature to emerge as a completely new creation in Christ Jesus.

We live our lives laser-focused on our own daily tasks, deadlines, and schedules. But what if our hyper-focus is causing us to miss the very people God has placed directly in front of us? Pulling from the famous "gorilla test" experiment on inattentional blindness, Pastor Ryan Kramer challenges us to look closely at Matthew 9 to see how Jesus trained His disciples. Jesus wasn't just performing jaw-dropping miracles, He was actively reshaping how His followers interact with a broken world. This message outlines three vital transformations that must occur in our hearts if we want to truly live the kingdom life.

-- Jesus wants to change what we see by pulling us out of our self-consumed routines so that we stop treating the cashiers, neighbors, and strangers in our paths as mere background noise.

-- Jesus wants to change what moves us by softening our media-saturated, callous hearts with a deep, Greek-defined compassion that forces us to let other people's pain interrupt our personal plans.

-- Jesus wants to change what we live for by realigning our shifting priorities away from selfish preferences and toward pointing broken, shepherdless people to His grace.

(1) Question 8. Does the Cambrian Explosion prove Darwin’s theory of evolution?

(2) Darwin predicted that in the fossil record we would find EVIDENCE that life would begin SIMPLY and would progress into BIG DIFFERENCES. But the Cambrian Explosion refutes that prediction and thus DOES NOT SUPPORT DARWIN’s THEORY of evolution.

(3) Question 9. Was there a gradual transition from an ape to human?

(4) Despite the illustrations in textbooks showing a march of beings in an ascending row that displays a gradual transition from a small chimpanzee to a regular sized ape to an even larger transition figure and eventually to a human, no evidence is offered to support that illustration because it is NOT THERE. Virtually every “missing link” or “find” has turned out to be APE-LIKE and NON HUMAN, not a transition kind of an ape-man. In fact, some so-called “finds” were deliberate HOAXES.

(5) Charles Darwin was worried that the fossil record did not show what his theory predicted. In the 6th edition of The Origin of Species he wrote: “Why is not EVERY GEOLOGICAL FORMATION which can be urged and EVERY STRATUM full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this is the most obvious and serious OBJECTION which can be urged against the theory.”

(6) This means that Darwin’s theory is REFUTED. In EVERY OTHER SCIENTIFIC DOMAIN — in mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, computer science, and perhaps in

geology, meteorology, oceanography, and even in philosophy — if such a counterexample is displayed against their theory, then the theory would be abandoned. But not so in Darwinian theory. THAT is NOT SCIENCE; that’s burying your head in the sand and keeping your mind closed. The mind is like a parachute; it only works when it is open.

(7) However, if different kinds had been created SEPARATELY, the fossil record should show creatures appearing ABRUPTLY AND FULLY FORMED. That is what the Cambridge Explosion shows. Shouldn’t the general public and the scientific community be open to the possibility of creation?

(8) Richard Leakey, in his time the world’s foremost paleoanthropologist, said, “If pressed about man’s ANCESTRY, I would have to UNEQUIVOCALLY SAY that all we have is a HUGE QUESTION MARK. . . . If, further pressed, I would have to state that there is MORE EVIDENCE to suggest an ABRUPT ARRIVAL of man rather than a GRADUAL PROCESS of evolving.”

(9) The renowned Harvard paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould wrote in the book Evolution Now: A Century After Darwin edited by John Maynard Smith, p. 140: “The ABSENCE of fossil evidence for INTERMEDIATE STAGES between major transitions in organic design, indeed in our INABILITY, even in our IMAGINATION, to construct functional intermediates in many cases, has been a PERSISTENT AND NAGGING PROBLEM for gradualistic accounts of evolution.”

(10) You might recall that Gould is the one who said, “Evolution is a fact, fact, fact.” It seems to me that he should have considered the fossil record before making that comment. If he had, then he should have said, “ Evolution is dubious, dubious, dubious.”

This is episode 284.
