Wave 94

Shifting into Your Bright Future

In this life-changing episode, Apostle Otis B. Young delivers a raw, timely word for anyone navigating seasons of painful transition, character assassination, or relational heartbreak. Drawing from personal experiences of walking through dark places, he explains that God uses hardships not to destroy you, but to develop your character and faith. True spiritual maturity means shaking the dust off your feet, operating out of a pure heart, and remaining completely secure in God when people show you their true colors. Learn how to stop wasting emotional energy on situations you cannot change so you can fully embrace the purpose waiting in your future.

-- Realizing that your past environments or mindsets no longer define you, allowing you to focus entirely on the bright future God has planned.

-- Recognizing that pain produces purpose and that God uses seasons of isolation or hardship to build deep spiritual character.

-- Walking in true maturity by choosing to remain unbothered and refusing to engage in toxic cycles or emotional entanglements.

-- Processing betrayal through a kingdom lens, understanding that even a Judas has a purpose in pushing you toward your destiny.

-- Understanding your responsibility as the living church to maintain a clean heart and avoid hindering the flow of God's spirit for others.

"Don't just read the Bible. Don't sit down every morning and just read the Bible. Sit down with Him who is the word and allow the word to become alive in you."

— David Hodges

-- True revival is a co-laboring between God and humanity. It is not just a sovereign act that happens to us; it is a partnership where we must be found faithful in our generation to see God's will fully executed.

-- We often ask God to rend the heavens and come down, but the truth is He is already present. The barrier to revival is often our own hearts set on earthly things, which causes God’s plans to be set aside for another generation.

-- Revival is not just about the excitement of the "breaking out" phase. It is about the battle that follows. Just like Jesus in the wilderness, after we experience personal revival, we must overcome the temptations of the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life.

-- We need a Malachi 4 style move where fathers turn their hearts to their sons and sons to their fathers. This is not just a youth movement; it requires the wisdom and intercession of the elders to pass the torch to the next generation.

-- Taking authority means stepping into what is broken and reclaiming it for the Kingdom. It requires us to lay aside politics, doctrines, and religious division to come into one mind and one accord, just as the disciples did in the upper room.

In this challenging message, Pastor Ryan Kramer unpacks the story of the man with leprosy in Matthew 8, revealing how our own deep-seated shame often acts as a barrier to experiencing God’s grace. We often treat our mistakes like an old, oily rag that needs to be thrown away, but God wants to reach into that mess and restore us completely.

-- The man with leprosy did not doubt Jesus’s power; he questioned Jesus’s willingness. Many of us live in this same tension, believing God can help everyone else but assuming we are the "exception" to His grace.

-- Jesus didn't just heal the man's disease; He touched him. In a culture where lepers were shunned, this touch was a radical act of love designed to heal the lie in the man’s heart before it healed the sickness in his body.

-- We often view the Christian life as a pursuit of perfection, leading to frustration when we face difficulty. However, God’s goal is not perfection, but proximity. When we stop trying to clean ourselves up and simply draw near to Him, true transformation begins.

-- Your past, your failures, and your addictions are not your identity. They are merely your condition. When you surrender those pieces to Jesus, He does not just fix the situation; He restores your life, your purpose, and your dignity.

Are You Ready for the Bridegroom?

The signs of the end times are no longer just future warnings; they are current events. As we see the world mirroring the chaotic state of Noah’s day, the call for believers to remain vigilant has never been louder. This teaching breaks down the spiritual necessity of staying prepared and living in anticipation of the Lord’s return.

-- We are living in a time where evil thoughts and actions prevail, much like in the days of Noah, indicating we are approaching the return of the Son of Man.

-- The parable of the ten virgins reveals the danger of spiritual drowsiness; the wise virgins were prepared with oil, while the foolish were caught off guard when the bridegroom arrived.

-- Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well illustrates that salvation is not limited by background or status; it is a gift of living water available to all who worship the Father in spirit and truth.

-- Being "born again" is the prerequisite for entering the Kingdom of God, requiring a transformation of the spirit rather than an adherence to religious legalism.

-- Believers are not appointed to wrath; we are called to be children of the light, wearing the breastplate of faith and love while keeping watch for the Lord.

(1) During the 1800s some people believed bats navigated at night by touch, the moon was populated by furry, winged humans, decaying meat spontaneously turned into maggots, grain changed into rodents, and mud became frogs.

(2) Scientists Fransesco Redi, John Needham, and Louis Pasteur PROVED that LIFE does not come from NON-LIVING SUBSTANCES, i. e, they proved that spontaneous generation is FALSE. Rather life is a result of the reproduction of PRE-EXISTING life-forms, which can come only through various means like seeds, eggs, or other forms of reproduction. That proof marked a SIGNIFICANT TURNING POINT in scientific understanding, reshaping fundamental biological principles.

(3) Allow me to give an almost verbatim essay from gotquestions.org called “Flaws in Evolution.”

(4) Gradualism seems to be CONTRADICTED by the FOSSIL RECORD. Organisms appear suddenly and demonstrate little change over long periods. The fossil record has been greatly expanded over the last century, and the more fossils that are found, the more gradualism seems to be DISPROVED. It was this overt REFUTATION of gradualism in the fossil record that prompted the theory of punctuated equilibrium.

(5) The fossil record might seem to support punctuated equilibrium but again, there are MAJOR PROBLEMS [with punctuated equilibrium].

(6) While the improbable nature of punctuated equilibrium speaks for itself, scientific studies have also CAST DOUBT on the benefits it would confer. Separating a few members from a larger population results in INBREEDING. This results in DECREASED REPRODUCTIVE ABILITY, harmful genetic ABNORMALITIES, and so forth. In essence, the events that should be prompting “survival of the fittest” CRIPPLE the organisms INSTEAD.

(7) Laboratory studies have shown that organisms are capable of ADAPTATION. That is, living things have an ability to shift their biology to better fit their ENVIRONMENT [like the color of peppered moths or the beaks of finches]. However, those same studies have demonstrated that such changes can ONLY GO SO FAR, and those organisms have not fundamentally changed.

(8) Long-term evolution, though, requires “macroevolution,” which refers to those LARGE-SCALE CHANGES. Microevolution could turn a wolf into a Chihuahua or a Great Dane. Macroevolution would turn a fish into a cow or a duck. There is a MASSIVE DIFFERENCE in scale and effect between microevolution and macroevolution. This flaw in the theory of evolution is that experimentation DOES NOT SUPPORT the ability of small changes to transform ONE SPECIES INTO ANOTHER.

(9) There are those who try to transform the theory from a BIOLOGICAL EXPLANATION into a METAPHYSICAL one. Every time a person claims that the theory of evolution disproves religion, spirituality, or God, they are taking the theory OUTSIDE its own limits. Fairly or not, the theory of evolution has been HIJACKED as an anti-religious MASCOT by those that have an AXE to grind against God.

(10) Overall, there are many solidly scientific reasons to QUESTION the theory of evolution. These flaws may be resolved by science, or they may eventually kill the theory altogether. We don’t know which one will happen, but we do know this: the theory of evolution is FAR FROM SETTLED, and rational people can question it scientifically.

This is episode 279.

The "love of sinners" is actually just selfishness, while the teaching of Jesus is the opposite. One example is the story we call The Good Samaritan.
