Greetings and welcome to this edition of Faith to Live By, my weekly podcast where I seek
to help us explore current events from both a biblical and prophetic perspective.
I'm the researcher, writer, producer and host of this podcast in effort to be one of your
most trusted truth advocates and my name is Pam Christian.
Before I begin, I want to make sure you know now is the time to hit your name on the list
as one interested in joining us on the ground tour in Greece called In The Footsteps of Paul.
It's planned for October this year and the total number of people to attend is limited.
I'll share more with you about how you can add your name toward the end of this podcast
simply as one who's interested. We'll be confirming those who will register very soon,
so don't delay or you could miss the opportunity. I'm really looking forward to this intimate tour
limited to 30 people total and I really hope you'll be among them. With the past few podcasts,
I've had us consider what God has said through his prophets about what we are to expect in 2025
as God intervenes in the affairs of humanity worldwide. As I sought God for understanding
of what we as God's people can expect this year, I heard four words, healing, deliverance, restoration
and transformation. Keep these in mind because this is not what the wicked and unrepentant people
can expect. This is what God's people can expect. God has many times reminded us of his deliverance
of his people from the wicked oppressive pharaoh of Egypt as we read in the book of Exodus with
the explanation that we are living in a time where we can expect an even greater deliverance.
And based on seeking the Lord and the common theme I hear from God's modern day proven prophets,
I believe this year of 2025 is the year we will experience this greater Exodus.
God has been warning us about the plans of the enemy and through Julie Green on January 13th,
2025, God specifically told his people to be on high alert. I'll share more of what God said
through Julie in a bit, but the point I believe God is earnestly stressing at this time is the
certainty of God's ways. God has plainly revealed the existence of good and evil, truth and deception,
life and death. God has given us a free will and has provided clear guidance for peaceful and
prosperous living. God has made clear when anyone fails to live according to his revealed ways,
they will suffer the consequences of their own choices. Further, God is ever at work to cause
people who have not chosen to live according to his ways to reconsider their ways and choose to be
restored to him. God, the creator of all life, wants all people to choose life, however, in reality,
not all do. I believe God has been exposing all manner of evil wherever it exists since 2020
to this day to cause people to wake up to the truth regarding their choices and to have an
opportunity to deliberately choose life. So, today's podcast is focused on helping people
everywhere have a better understanding of God and his ways so they choose to willingly place
their faith in Jesus and escape the judgment against the unrepentant that God is sending
beginning this year of 2025. I know there's a lot of headline news to consider, but when I stepped back
and I viewed current events collectively, it seemed the most essential message God is sending at
this time is the importance of choosing God and his ways. Everything God has been doing is for the
purpose of bringing people to be restored to God the Father through faith in Jesus by the power of
the Holy Spirit, and there seems to be a special urgency in the atmosphere. There are many times
when I'm prayerfully speaking or teaching, when I hear a string of words come out of my mouth that
are really impressive, well that's evidence of the Holy Spirit's guidance, and I want to share
three of them with you today. The first statement is this, God's love is unconditional, but his promises
aren't. When it comes to God's love for us, there is nothing we can do to cause him to love us any
more or any less. His love for us is unconditional and ever-flowing in our behalf. However, when it
comes to receiving his promises, there are conditions he reveals we must satisfy before
he will fulfill the promise. Take salvation, for example. In order for a person to become
rightly related with God, we must first confess we believe in Jesus as the promised Redeemer
and receive him as our personal Lord by faith. Once a person genuinely believes and receives
Jesus in these terms, they are instantly transformed from a natural born sinner,
estranged from God, to a spiritually supernatural reborn saint, eternally reunited with God as
one of his children. There are a few promises of God that are not conditional, such as the
Second Coming of Jesus. That will be fulfilled no matter what we believe or do, but the vast
majority of God's promises for us are conditional, that is, there are terms and conditions.
God reveals we must satisfy to experience his promises. God makes all sorts of promises. Some
are promises for judgment and suffering. Some are promises for victory and blessings.
In nearly all of his promises, God reveals conditions for fulfillment. Consider 2 Chronicles 7,
13 and 14, which reads, When I shut up the heavens, so there is no rain, or command locus,
to devour the land, or send a plague among my people. If my people who are called by my name
will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land."
Why would God prevent rain or command locus to devour the land or send a plague? It's right
there in the passage to get people's attention, to cause them to realize their wicked ways,
and to restore their devotion to God, then He hears their cries, forgives them, and heals their land.
Consider the story of Jonah. God sent him to warn the people of Nineveh that God was going
to destroy their city because of their wickedness. When the citizens heard the prophecy, they repented
and fasted. In response, God did not destroy Nineveh. Now repentance wasn't a stated condition
in what Jonah actually said, but the blessings of repentance is a known pattern because God has
repeatedly revealed it. I believe the people of all the nations of the world today are facing the
same dire warning for judgment of wickedness that carries with it the opportunity for escape
by repentance. If we are discerning what God has been revealing, His judgment and justice will be
evident from January to March of this year especially, though not fully administered until
later this year and into 2026. God has revealed the evil conditions in the world to wake His people
up and to warn those who are perpetrating evil to repent before He administers His judgment.
God has also revealed the condition of His people and the church itself, so we have a chance to repent
before His judgment. Remember, 1 Peter 4 17 states, judgment begins with the house of the Lord.
According to the pattern of the Exodus, once God administers His judgment, then He administers His
justice. I pray we keep all this in mind in the days to come when we will see God at work
judging evil which is certain to be very difficult to observe. However, we'll be observing it knowing
it is essential as a precursor to God administering His justice for His people. This brings me to my
second Holy Spirit inspired statement which is, just because God is sovereign overall,
doesn't make Him responsible for all. God has chosen to limit His intervention in humanity to
our own free will, our personal choices. When we choose to live according to His revealed ways that
lead to life, we enjoy all the good promises He's given. Conversely, when we choose to live in ways
that are contrary to His revealed will, which lead to death, we suffer the consequences of our choices.
God is not responsible for the wickedness and evil humans choose to engage in. He does, however,
always and with tremendous long suffering, do everything needed to guide people who are living
against His will to repent and be restored to Him. We talk a lot about the evil that's operated
through governments, banking institutions, non-governmental organizations, corporations,
institutions, and more, and we must be aware of these so we can push evil back. However, it is
people who run governments, banking institutions, non-government organizations, and so on,
so it is the individual God is addressing. For this reason, I want us to take a serious look
at ourselves to make an honest assessment individually. So let's start by reexamining what we believe
about God and about ourselves to make certain we are aligned with truth. Then we can have a
confident and expectant faith God will work in our behalf. When we know we have satisfied the
conditions of God's promises, since God cannot lie, we know we will enjoy the fulfillment of
His good promises. To have a confident, expectant faith in God's promises is to have a faith that
is not mixed with doubt or fear. Doubt and fear come from not being certain of a matter. Not being
certain can easily be addressed by searching out more evidence, truth, and facts. We may have doubt
and fear about who God is, about His character, will, or intentions. We may have doubt and fear,
God will work in our behalf, because of our own character, will, and intentions. We may have
doubt and fear because we can't figure a way, we just can't understand how God could possibly
solve this or that. If you can, jot down areas where you have doubt and fear so we can address
that today and change things so you can be confident you are in position to receive God's promises.
Let's consider the character, will, and intentions of God. First, God is a creator of all that exists.
He is all-powerful. There is no one who has power to match His. He is absolute truth. All truth
comes from Him. He is holy, and there is no evil in Him. He is love, and everything He does is
motivated by His love. He is righteous, requiring those who belong to Him to be righteous, which
we know is a process of cooperation with the Holy Spirit to be transformed. His will for all of His
people is to be restored into a right-standing, intimate relationship with Him, which is why He
personally paved the way for anyone who wants to be in relationship with God, to be able to,
through faith in Jesus. His intentions are ever and only for the good of all people. His intentions
are to work all things together that we discover Him and choose to be restored into a right relationship
with Him. So with that exceedingly brief description, there should be no reason for anyone to not want
to be in a right relationship with God. There is nothing to doubt or fear concerning God,
unless you are living opposed to Him. When it comes to awareness of ourselves and our own
character, will, and intentions, if we are honest, we have to admit, apart from God, there is no good
thing in any one of us. However, when any one of us place our faith in Jesus, God personally
transforms us, thereby qualifying us to be one of His children and a joint heir with Jesus Christ.
All our sins, past, present, and future, are forgiven, and we are placed in a right-standing
with God. This miraculous transformation means we have no reason to doubt if God will work on our
behalf, because He has already transformed us. The conditions to receive all of God's promises
are met in our placing our faith in Jesus, believing Him as our Savior and receiving Him as our Lord.
We may have doubt and fear because we don't understand, we cannot figure out, or we can't see
how God could possibly resolve whatever issue we are suffering. Well, that's where we must go back
to a proper understanding of God's character, will, and intentions, emphasizing He is supernatural,
the Creator of all that exists, able to undo any evil the enemy Satan has caused. I've said before,
if we can explain how God performed a miracle, then it wasn't a miracle. And that brings me to my
third Holy Spirit-inspired statement, which is, anytime you give up on anything, you're giving up
on God. Because we have lived through a time when God is confronting all evil wherever it exists,
within the seven mountains of influence, the church, government, family, business, education,
media, and arts slash entertainment. And because these mountains are all run by people, God is
reaching out to every individual to cause them to reconsider their ways, their choices. This means
each one of us is faced with a task of considering our own ways. When God wants people to seriously
consider their ways, He has us encounter situations, circumstances, and people who either challenge
or reveal our ways. Are we living according to God's revealed will, or according to our own will,
what is the likely outcome of our current ways, and is that the future we really want for ourselves?
God ferrets out people who are for Him and people who are not for our sakes. He already knows which
is which, but He wants us to know so that when He intervenes, we see the righteousness of His
judgment and justice. God has been revealing the individuals who are behind the extensive evil
and corruption that has made tremendous advancements. First, to give them a chance to repent. And
second, to make public those who do not are receiving the judgment according to their own choices.
I know life has been exceedingly difficult to say the least, especially these past four years.
What we're learning the globalists have done, the gross crimes against humanity they have committed,
how the governments of the world are woefully infiltrated with evil intentioned people willing
to create tragedies to be used for the advancement of their evil agenda, such as the Maui fires,
Hurricane Helene, and the California fires, how they've been poisoning us through our food, water,
soil, and air, and intentionally withholding the help people need to survive these tragedies.
We are learning more about the globalist deeds in all countries around the world, Canada, the UK,
Australia, Italy, the Ukraine, China, North Korea, and the global organizations such as the United
Nations, the World Health Organization, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. And these are
just a few examples. But add to this the personal trials we are suffering. And it may seem to some
that the advancement of evil is just too big even for God to overcome. I understand the tendency to
have that thought, but I beg you not to let that thought take root in your heart or mind.
Hear me on this. There is no power greater than God. Satan and all of his evil minions doing his
bidding combined will never be able to overpower God. Never. Just as God has written the gospel
and the non-repentant at this time, so is he revealing his true children. This long-term
exposure of evil is also strengthening the faith of God's genuine children. Those who are coming
into their God-intended destinies will soon be positioned as co-laborers with Christ, pushing
back evil, restoring righteousness in all the mountains of influence where the people of the
world will again rejoice because the righteous are ruling. Through all of this, true children of God
have had the opportunity to stand firm upon the promises of God, all of them, which includes
that we as God's children have all the authority and power of Jesus at our disposal,
along with the mandate to subdue and occupy the earth against evil until Jesus returns.
Looking back, we can see God has worked from 2020 through the end of 2024 to expose all manner of
evil and corruption wherever it exists. Now, with this year of 2025, God has declared he will visibly
be showing up and dealing with all evil and corruption. God has said through Hank Kooniman
that he is fighting for us this year. God knows we are weary because it has been a very long time
of opposition for his people, but God is fighting for us. As God is dismantling and exposing evil,
Satan and his followers are thrown into a panic, deceived by their own derangement,
that they actually can have victory over God, so they attempt even more evil to try to maintain
the upper hand they'd had for so long. God has told us to expect this and to know when this happens,
to rejoice, because it is evidence of his intervention. God has revealed while he is at work in our
behalf we can expect the chaos, destruction, and fear to increase, that is, for those who don't
properly know God. However, for those of us who do properly know God, who by regular personal
assessment and repentance of any sin in our life, we can have every confidence God will work in our
behalf and we will receive the fulfillment of his good promises. Speaking prophetically through
Julie Green on January 13th, God warns us, and I loosely quote, Your enemies thought this was
their year. The enemy is desperately trying to hold on to his power and control, so he is launching
his greatest efforts through the people he has deceived into doing his bidding. Your enemies
wanted death on a massive scale, never before seen. They wanted the fall of nations who are not part
of their global tyranny. They wanted martial law and totalitarianism worldwide. They thought this
was their year that they would rule over the nations and bring the beast system to control the world
in every way. They planned to depopulate the earth, destroy my church, and destroy any strength of
faith my people had left. They had been infiltrating my church, sneaking in with their pastors and
man-made doctrines to deceive the church into believing a lie. They weakened congregations
year after year until my church believed their words, not mine, making my people no longer a
threat to them, because my people are not aware of their authority that could rip their power away
from them. This was the year your enemies planned to start World War III and bring the masses under
their submission. With the church no longer standing in their way, they expected to achieve
world dominance. Do you understand why they must see me and fall in such a way they will not ever
recover from? This will not be the year of death they intended, but the year of my glory. My children,
your enemies are in the state of confusion they have never known, and in a panic they won't get
relief from. This is the time for them to be cut off and removed in unprecedented ways. My children,
a glorious restoration, is taking place in every part of your life, so rejoice! I am on your side,
I will not fail you, and I will restore it all back to you." End quote. Remember the four words I
got regarding this year, healing, deliverance, restoration, and transformation. I ask you to
claim these words as promises from God to be fulfilled in your life this year. Any of us who
have intentionally made the choice to be in right relationship with God the Father through faith in
Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit are in right standing to receive the promises of God.
Any of us who regularly examine ourselves to identify and repent of any sin that would hinder
the fullness of God's promises have every reason to expect God's abundant provision. And any of us
who have faith and do not doubt God is who he says he is and he will do what he says he will do,
have every reason to rejoice even now as God administers his judgment, knowing his justice
will follow. Think of God's people at the time of the Exodus. The ten plagues God sent fell upon
Pharaoh and the Egyptian people. God's people did not experience the plagues. And we read some
Egyptians chose to be aligned with the God of the Hebrews and these people were also spared.
God promised his people if they did as he instructed on the night of that last plague,
they would be spared from the angel of death. God instructed them to prepare the Passover meal in
a specific manner and to place the blood of the lamb on the doorposts of their home to be dressed
ready to travel and prepared to leave at a moment's notice. Then at the right time, God led his people
out of the bondage of slavery and oppression of the evil Pharaoh. But not only were they freed,
the Egyptians wanting them to leave with their God who had inflicted them severely showered them
with all manner of wealth and provision. This is what is in store for God's people in the days,
weeks, and months ahead. As history testifies, God is who he says he is and he will do what he says
he will do. It is my prayer that today's podcast has helped convince many to intentionally be aligned
with God, to willingly become a child of God confident you are in position to receive all the
good promises of God. I pray that many repent from their years of unbelief, doubt, and fear,
and for the church, meaning the corporate body of all believers in Christ worldwide,
to become the Ecclesia God has always intended where we wield Christ's authority and power
over evil, causing it to be pushed back and under our feet. May we truly come to live in the total
victory Christ died to give us. Now that January is more established, I'm expecting to hear back
from those I've invited to be my guest on this podcast. I don't have confirmations yet, but
you can expect me to help us all discern what God wants us to know so we as his children do what he
wants us to do and experience his kingdom will done on earth as it is in heaven. Now I ask you
to listen to my closing announcements and to take advantage of the many goods and services I bring
you in an effort to at least cover the costs of this podcast. The first announcement is about the
Greece trip that we are in the process of finalizing. If you think you want to be part of that, please
be sure to send me the email according to the directions. Deadlines for registering are looming.
It may seem far off, but most people make plans for a significant vacation about a year in advance,
so if you haven't already expressed interest in traveling with us in October 2025, now is the time
to do so. We want to have about 30 people total because this size group works best for the specific
tour I have in mind. We'll be walking the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. I'm using the time between
now and February 2025 to determine if we have enough interest and the trend indicates we definitely
should. We have just about 30 people on the list now, but I'd like to have more because
when it comes to the actual day of making a commitment, things could have changed and I want
to be able to have at least 30 actually attend the tour. So if you think you'd like to be part of the
Fates Live by Christian tour with me in Greece during October 2025, now is the time to get your name
and number in your party on the list. There's no obligation at this point. You're just expressing
your interest. While the specific details are subject to change, as it stands now, the week-long
tour will include four nights at Devani Palace Acropolis Hotel in Athens, which includes breakfast,
one night at Amelia Hotel in Delphi, which includes breakfast, one night at Grand Meteora Hotel in
Kalambaka with breakfast, two nights at Mediterranean Palace Hotel in Thessaloniki, that includes
breakfast, two dinners at local restaurants, tour guide throughout, deluxe coach throughout, admissions
to museums and sites, tips to guides, drivers and restaurants, and all local taxes. Estimated cost per
person double occupancy room is about $3,000. Attendees need to arrange their own air travel to
and from the Athens International Airport. To get your name on the list, send an email to
faithtilivby at PamelaChristianMinistries.com with the word Greece in the subject line. In the body
of the email, provide your name, contact information, and number of people you expect to be in your
party. This will place your name on the interested in attending list, but does not obligate you in
any way. It merely assures you have first right of refusal come February 2025 when down payments are due.
