1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Greetings and welcome to this edition of Faith to Live By, my weekly podcast where I seek 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,720 to help us explore current events from both a biblical and prophetic perspective. 3 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,520 I'm the researcher, writer, producer and host of this podcast in effort to be one of your 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,080 most trusted truth advocates and my name is Pam Christian. 5 00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:24,560 Before I begin, I want to make sure you know now is the time to hit your name on the list 6 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,880 as one interested in joining us on the ground tour in Greece called In The Footsteps of Paul. 7 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,600 It's planned for October this year and the total number of people to attend is limited. 8 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,360 I'll share more with you about how you can add your name toward the end of this podcast 9 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,320 simply as one who's interested. We'll be confirming those who will register very soon, 10 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,840 so don't delay or you could miss the opportunity. I'm really looking forward to this intimate tour 11 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:56,720 limited to 30 people total and I really hope you'll be among them. With the past few podcasts, 12 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:02,960 I've had us consider what God has said through his prophets about what we are to expect in 2025 13 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:09,120 as God intervenes in the affairs of humanity worldwide. As I sought God for understanding 14 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:17,200 of what we as God's people can expect this year, I heard four words, healing, deliverance, restoration 15 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:23,120 and transformation. Keep these in mind because this is not what the wicked and unrepentant people 16 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:29,840 can expect. This is what God's people can expect. God has many times reminded us of his deliverance 17 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,200 of his people from the wicked oppressive pharaoh of Egypt as we read in the book of Exodus with 18 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,400 the explanation that we are living in a time where we can expect an even greater deliverance. 19 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:46,160 And based on seeking the Lord and the common theme I hear from God's modern day proven prophets, 20 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:52,320 I believe this year of 2025 is the year we will experience this greater Exodus. 21 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,320 God has been warning us about the plans of the enemy and through Julie Green on January 13th, 22 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:06,000 2025, God specifically told his people to be on high alert. I'll share more of what God said 23 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,440 through Julie in a bit, but the point I believe God is earnestly stressing at this time is the 24 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:19,040 certainty of God's ways. God has plainly revealed the existence of good and evil, truth and deception, 25 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,280 life and death. God has given us a free will and has provided clear guidance for peaceful and 26 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,280 prosperous living. God has made clear when anyone fails to live according to his revealed ways, 27 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:37,360 they will suffer the consequences of their own choices. Further, God is ever at work to cause 28 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:43,280 people who have not chosen to live according to his ways to reconsider their ways and choose to be 29 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:52,240 restored to him. God, the creator of all life, wants all people to choose life, however, in reality, 30 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:59,840 not all do. I believe God has been exposing all manner of evil wherever it exists since 2020 31 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,160 to this day to cause people to wake up to the truth regarding their choices and to have an 32 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:12,560 opportunity to deliberately choose life. So, today's podcast is focused on helping people 33 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,240 everywhere have a better understanding of God and his ways so they choose to willingly place 34 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,440 their faith in Jesus and escape the judgment against the unrepentant that God is sending 35 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:30,720 beginning this year of 2025. I know there's a lot of headline news to consider, but when I stepped back 36 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,680 and I viewed current events collectively, it seemed the most essential message God is sending at 37 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:42,560 this time is the importance of choosing God and his ways. Everything God has been doing is for the 38 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,720 purpose of bringing people to be restored to God the Father through faith in Jesus by the power of 39 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:55,440 the Holy Spirit, and there seems to be a special urgency in the atmosphere. There are many times 40 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,920 when I'm prayerfully speaking or teaching, when I hear a string of words come out of my mouth that 41 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:04,720 are really impressive, well that's evidence of the Holy Spirit's guidance, and I want to share 42 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:11,760 three of them with you today. The first statement is this, God's love is unconditional, but his promises 43 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,920 aren't. When it comes to God's love for us, there is nothing we can do to cause him to love us any 44 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:24,800 more or any less. His love for us is unconditional and ever-flowing in our behalf. However, when it 45 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:31,040 comes to receiving his promises, there are conditions he reveals we must satisfy before 46 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,400 he will fulfill the promise. Take salvation, for example. In order for a person to become 47 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,000 rightly related with God, we must first confess we believe in Jesus as the promised Redeemer 48 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:49,120 and receive him as our personal Lord by faith. Once a person genuinely believes and receives 49 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,240 Jesus in these terms, they are instantly transformed from a natural born sinner, 50 00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:01,520 estranged from God, to a spiritually supernatural reborn saint, eternally reunited with God as 51 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,360 one of his children. There are a few promises of God that are not conditional, such as the 52 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,800 Second Coming of Jesus. That will be fulfilled no matter what we believe or do, but the vast 53 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,720 majority of God's promises for us are conditional, that is, there are terms and conditions. 54 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:25,280 God reveals we must satisfy to experience his promises. God makes all sorts of promises. Some 55 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:30,480 are promises for judgment and suffering. Some are promises for victory and blessings. 56 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:37,440 In nearly all of his promises, God reveals conditions for fulfillment. Consider 2 Chronicles 7, 57 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,840 13 and 14, which reads, When I shut up the heavens, so there is no rain, or command locus, 58 00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:50,800 to devour the land, or send a plague among my people. If my people who are called by my name 59 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,680 will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, 60 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,840 then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land." 61 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:07,040 Why would God prevent rain or command locus to devour the land or send a plague? It's right 62 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,560 there in the passage to get people's attention, to cause them to realize their wicked ways, 63 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:19,520 and to restore their devotion to God, then He hears their cries, forgives them, and heals their land. 64 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,600 Consider the story of Jonah. God sent him to warn the people of Nineveh that God was going 65 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:31,280 to destroy their city because of their wickedness. When the citizens heard the prophecy, they repented 66 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:38,560 and fasted. In response, God did not destroy Nineveh. Now repentance wasn't a stated condition 67 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,560 in what Jonah actually said, but the blessings of repentance is a known pattern because God has 68 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,240 repeatedly revealed it. I believe the people of all the nations of the world today are facing the 69 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:56,480 same dire warning for judgment of wickedness that carries with it the opportunity for escape 70 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:02,240 by repentance. If we are discerning what God has been revealing, His judgment and justice will be 71 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,280 evident from January to March of this year especially, though not fully administered until 72 00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:14,000 later this year and into 2026. God has revealed the evil conditions in the world to wake His people 73 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,720 up and to warn those who are perpetrating evil to repent before He administers His judgment. 74 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:26,960 God has also revealed the condition of His people and the church itself, so we have a chance to repent 75 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:32,880 before His judgment. Remember, 1 Peter 4 17 states, judgment begins with the house of the Lord. 76 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:39,120 According to the pattern of the Exodus, once God administers His judgment, then He administers His 77 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,880 justice. I pray we keep all this in mind in the days to come when we will see God at work 78 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:51,600 judging evil which is certain to be very difficult to observe. However, we'll be observing it knowing 79 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:58,640 it is essential as a precursor to God administering His justice for His people. This brings me to my 80 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:04,720 second Holy Spirit inspired statement which is, just because God is sovereign overall, 81 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:10,880 doesn't make Him responsible for all. God has chosen to limit His intervention in humanity to 82 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:16,800 our own free will, our personal choices. When we choose to live according to His revealed ways that 83 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:23,120 lead to life, we enjoy all the good promises He's given. Conversely, when we choose to live in ways 84 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:29,120 that are contrary to His revealed will, which lead to death, we suffer the consequences of our choices. 85 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:35,760 God is not responsible for the wickedness and evil humans choose to engage in. He does, however, 86 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,840 always and with tremendous long suffering, do everything needed to guide people who are living 87 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:48,000 against His will to repent and be restored to Him. We talk a lot about the evil that's operated 88 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,680 through governments, banking institutions, non-governmental organizations, corporations, 89 00:08:53,680 --> 00:09:00,080 institutions, and more, and we must be aware of these so we can push evil back. However, it is 90 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:06,160 people who run governments, banking institutions, non-government organizations, and so on, 91 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:11,920 so it is the individual God is addressing. For this reason, I want us to take a serious look 92 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:18,480 at ourselves to make an honest assessment individually. So let's start by reexamining what we believe 93 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:23,840 about God and about ourselves to make certain we are aligned with truth. Then we can have a 94 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:30,320 confident and expectant faith God will work in our behalf. When we know we have satisfied the 95 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:37,360 conditions of God's promises, since God cannot lie, we know we will enjoy the fulfillment of 96 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:44,000 His good promises. To have a confident, expectant faith in God's promises is to have a faith that 97 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:51,120 is not mixed with doubt or fear. Doubt and fear come from not being certain of a matter. Not being 98 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:58,640 certain can easily be addressed by searching out more evidence, truth, and facts. We may have doubt 99 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:06,000 and fear about who God is, about His character, will, or intentions. We may have doubt and fear, 100 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,400 God will work in our behalf, because of our own character, will, and intentions. We may have 101 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,280 doubt and fear because we can't figure a way, we just can't understand how God could possibly 102 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:23,680 solve this or that. If you can, jot down areas where you have doubt and fear so we can address 103 00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:30,160 that today and change things so you can be confident you are in position to receive God's promises. 104 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:36,960 Let's consider the character, will, and intentions of God. First, God is a creator of all that exists. 105 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:44,080 He is all-powerful. There is no one who has power to match His. He is absolute truth. All truth 106 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:51,120 comes from Him. He is holy, and there is no evil in Him. He is love, and everything He does is 107 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:57,680 motivated by His love. He is righteous, requiring those who belong to Him to be righteous, which 108 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:03,680 we know is a process of cooperation with the Holy Spirit to be transformed. His will for all of His 109 00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:09,120 people is to be restored into a right-standing, intimate relationship with Him, which is why He 110 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,400 personally paved the way for anyone who wants to be in relationship with God, to be able to, 111 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:21,440 through faith in Jesus. His intentions are ever and only for the good of all people. His intentions 112 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:27,920 are to work all things together that we discover Him and choose to be restored into a right relationship 113 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:35,280 with Him. So with that exceedingly brief description, there should be no reason for anyone to not want 114 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:40,880 to be in a right relationship with God. There is nothing to doubt or fear concerning God, 115 00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:48,000 unless you are living opposed to Him. When it comes to awareness of ourselves and our own 116 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:54,720 character, will, and intentions, if we are honest, we have to admit, apart from God, there is no good 117 00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:01,520 thing in any one of us. However, when any one of us place our faith in Jesus, God personally 118 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:07,680 transforms us, thereby qualifying us to be one of His children and a joint heir with Jesus Christ. 119 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:14,560 All our sins, past, present, and future, are forgiven, and we are placed in a right-standing 120 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:21,280 with God. This miraculous transformation means we have no reason to doubt if God will work on our 121 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:27,040 behalf, because He has already transformed us. The conditions to receive all of God's promises 122 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:33,920 are met in our placing our faith in Jesus, believing Him as our Savior and receiving Him as our Lord. 123 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:40,800 We may have doubt and fear because we don't understand, we cannot figure out, or we can't see 124 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:46,800 how God could possibly resolve whatever issue we are suffering. Well, that's where we must go back 125 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:53,920 to a proper understanding of God's character, will, and intentions, emphasizing He is supernatural, 126 00:12:53,920 --> 00:13:01,920 the Creator of all that exists, able to undo any evil the enemy Satan has caused. I've said before, 127 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:08,640 if we can explain how God performed a miracle, then it wasn't a miracle. And that brings me to my 128 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:14,640 third Holy Spirit-inspired statement, which is, anytime you give up on anything, you're giving up 129 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:21,120 on God. Because we have lived through a time when God is confronting all evil wherever it exists, 130 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:27,760 within the seven mountains of influence, the church, government, family, business, education, 131 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:35,200 media, and arts slash entertainment. And because these mountains are all run by people, God is 132 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:41,840 reaching out to every individual to cause them to reconsider their ways, their choices. This means 133 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:49,120 each one of us is faced with a task of considering our own ways. When God wants people to seriously 134 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:55,920 consider their ways, He has us encounter situations, circumstances, and people who either challenge 135 00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:03,920 or reveal our ways. Are we living according to God's revealed will, or according to our own will, 136 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:10,160 what is the likely outcome of our current ways, and is that the future we really want for ourselves? 137 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:17,040 God ferrets out people who are for Him and people who are not for our sakes. He already knows which 138 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,720 is which, but He wants us to know so that when He intervenes, we see the righteousness of His 139 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:28,960 judgment and justice. God has been revealing the individuals who are behind the extensive evil 140 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:34,960 and corruption that has made tremendous advancements. First, to give them a chance to repent. And 141 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:42,400 second, to make public those who do not are receiving the judgment according to their own choices. 142 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:48,160 I know life has been exceedingly difficult to say the least, especially these past four years. 143 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:54,000 What we're learning the globalists have done, the gross crimes against humanity they have committed, 144 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,360 how the governments of the world are woefully infiltrated with evil intentioned people willing 145 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:05,760 to create tragedies to be used for the advancement of their evil agenda, such as the Maui fires, 146 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:11,440 Hurricane Helene, and the California fires, how they've been poisoning us through our food, water, 147 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:18,240 soil, and air, and intentionally withholding the help people need to survive these tragedies. 148 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:24,640 We are learning more about the globalist deeds in all countries around the world, Canada, the UK, 149 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:32,640 Australia, Italy, the Ukraine, China, North Korea, and the global organizations such as the United 150 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:38,160 Nations, the World Health Organization, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. And these are 151 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:45,120 just a few examples. But add to this the personal trials we are suffering. And it may seem to some 152 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:52,880 that the advancement of evil is just too big even for God to overcome. I understand the tendency to 153 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:58,240 have that thought, but I beg you not to let that thought take root in your heart or mind. 154 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:06,640 Hear me on this. There is no power greater than God. Satan and all of his evil minions doing his 155 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:14,560 bidding combined will never be able to overpower God. Never. Just as God has written the gospel 156 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:22,560 and the non-repentant at this time, so is he revealing his true children. This long-term 157 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:29,360 exposure of evil is also strengthening the faith of God's genuine children. Those who are coming 158 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:36,000 into their God-intended destinies will soon be positioned as co-laborers with Christ, pushing 159 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,280 back evil, restoring righteousness in all the mountains of influence where the people of the 160 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:48,320 world will again rejoice because the righteous are ruling. Through all of this, true children of God 161 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:54,960 have had the opportunity to stand firm upon the promises of God, all of them, which includes 162 00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:00,480 that we as God's children have all the authority and power of Jesus at our disposal, 163 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:06,800 along with the mandate to subdue and occupy the earth against evil until Jesus returns. 164 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:14,160 Looking back, we can see God has worked from 2020 through the end of 2024 to expose all manner of 165 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:21,600 evil and corruption wherever it exists. Now, with this year of 2025, God has declared he will visibly 166 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:27,520 be showing up and dealing with all evil and corruption. God has said through Hank Kooniman 167 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:34,720 that he is fighting for us this year. God knows we are weary because it has been a very long time 168 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:42,960 of opposition for his people, but God is fighting for us. As God is dismantling and exposing evil, 169 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,680 Satan and his followers are thrown into a panic, deceived by their own derangement, 170 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:53,760 that they actually can have victory over God, so they attempt even more evil to try to maintain 171 00:17:53,760 --> 00:18:00,800 the upper hand they'd had for so long. God has told us to expect this and to know when this happens, 172 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:08,000 to rejoice, because it is evidence of his intervention. God has revealed while he is at work in our 173 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,400 behalf we can expect the chaos, destruction, and fear to increase, that is, for those who don't 174 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:20,400 properly know God. However, for those of us who do properly know God, who by regular personal 175 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:26,800 assessment and repentance of any sin in our life, we can have every confidence God will work in our 176 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:33,280 behalf and we will receive the fulfillment of his good promises. Speaking prophetically through 177 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:40,240 Julie Green on January 13th, God warns us, and I loosely quote, Your enemies thought this was 178 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:46,160 their year. The enemy is desperately trying to hold on to his power and control, so he is launching 179 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:51,520 his greatest efforts through the people he has deceived into doing his bidding. Your enemies 180 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:58,400 wanted death on a massive scale, never before seen. They wanted the fall of nations who are not part 181 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:05,120 of their global tyranny. They wanted martial law and totalitarianism worldwide. They thought this 182 00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:11,120 was their year that they would rule over the nations and bring the beast system to control the world 183 00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:17,680 in every way. They planned to depopulate the earth, destroy my church, and destroy any strength of 184 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:23,920 faith my people had left. They had been infiltrating my church, sneaking in with their pastors and 185 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:30,320 man-made doctrines to deceive the church into believing a lie. They weakened congregations 186 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:37,200 year after year until my church believed their words, not mine, making my people no longer a 187 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:43,040 threat to them, because my people are not aware of their authority that could rip their power away 188 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:49,920 from them. This was the year your enemies planned to start World War III and bring the masses under 189 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:55,120 their submission. With the church no longer standing in their way, they expected to achieve 190 00:19:55,120 --> 00:20:02,160 world dominance. Do you understand why they must see me and fall in such a way they will not ever 191 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:09,440 recover from? This will not be the year of death they intended, but the year of my glory. My children, 192 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,640 your enemies are in the state of confusion they have never known, and in a panic they won't get 193 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:22,240 relief from. This is the time for them to be cut off and removed in unprecedented ways. My children, 194 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:29,840 a glorious restoration, is taking place in every part of your life, so rejoice! I am on your side, 195 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:37,120 I will not fail you, and I will restore it all back to you." End quote. Remember the four words I 196 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:45,120 got regarding this year, healing, deliverance, restoration, and transformation. I ask you to 197 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:52,560 claim these words as promises from God to be fulfilled in your life this year. Any of us who 198 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,600 have intentionally made the choice to be in right relationship with God the Father through faith in 199 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:04,240 Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit are in right standing to receive the promises of God. 200 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:10,800 Any of us who regularly examine ourselves to identify and repent of any sin that would hinder 201 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:18,160 the fullness of God's promises have every reason to expect God's abundant provision. And any of us 202 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:24,560 who have faith and do not doubt God is who he says he is and he will do what he says he will do, 203 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:32,000 have every reason to rejoice even now as God administers his judgment, knowing his justice 204 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:39,520 will follow. Think of God's people at the time of the Exodus. The ten plagues God sent fell upon 205 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:46,080 Pharaoh and the Egyptian people. God's people did not experience the plagues. And we read some 206 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,960 Egyptians chose to be aligned with the God of the Hebrews and these people were also spared. 207 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:56,480 God promised his people if they did as he instructed on the night of that last plague, 208 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:02,320 they would be spared from the angel of death. God instructed them to prepare the Passover meal in 209 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:08,560 a specific manner and to place the blood of the lamb on the doorposts of their home to be dressed 210 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:15,520 ready to travel and prepared to leave at a moment's notice. Then at the right time, God led his people 211 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:21,840 out of the bondage of slavery and oppression of the evil Pharaoh. But not only were they freed, 212 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:27,760 the Egyptians wanting them to leave with their God who had inflicted them severely showered them 213 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:35,120 with all manner of wealth and provision. This is what is in store for God's people in the days, 214 00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:43,120 weeks, and months ahead. As history testifies, God is who he says he is and he will do what he says 215 00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:50,480 he will do. It is my prayer that today's podcast has helped convince many to intentionally be aligned 216 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:56,240 with God, to willingly become a child of God confident you are in position to receive all the 217 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:04,080 good promises of God. I pray that many repent from their years of unbelief, doubt, and fear, 218 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,480 and for the church, meaning the corporate body of all believers in Christ worldwide, 219 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:14,160 to become the Ecclesia God has always intended where we wield Christ's authority and power 220 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:21,360 over evil, causing it to be pushed back and under our feet. May we truly come to live in the total 221 00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:27,520 victory Christ died to give us. Now that January is more established, I'm expecting to hear back 222 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,880 from those I've invited to be my guest on this podcast. I don't have confirmations yet, but 223 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:39,200 you can expect me to help us all discern what God wants us to know so we as his children do what he 224 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:45,920 wants us to do and experience his kingdom will done on earth as it is in heaven. Now I ask you 225 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,320 to listen to my closing announcements and to take advantage of the many goods and services I bring 226 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,520 you in an effort to at least cover the costs of this podcast. The first announcement is about the 227 00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:01,200 Greece trip that we are in the process of finalizing. If you think you want to be part of that, please 228 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:07,040 be sure to send me the email according to the directions. Deadlines for registering are looming. 229 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:13,280 It may seem far off, but most people make plans for a significant vacation about a year in advance, 230 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:19,840 so if you haven't already expressed interest in traveling with us in October 2025, now is the time 231 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,120 to do so. We want to have about 30 people total because this size group works best for the specific 232 00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:30,960 tour I have in mind. We'll be walking the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. I'm using the time between 233 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:37,520 now and February 2025 to determine if we have enough interest and the trend indicates we definitely 234 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,160 should. We have just about 30 people on the list now, but I'd like to have more because 235 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,640 when it comes to the actual day of making a commitment, things could have changed and I want 236 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:51,600 to be able to have at least 30 actually attend the tour. So if you think you'd like to be part of the 237 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:58,320 Fates Live by Christian tour with me in Greece during October 2025, now is the time to get your name 238 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,880 and number in your party on the list. There's no obligation at this point. You're just expressing 239 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:08,160 your interest. While the specific details are subject to change, as it stands now, the week-long 240 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:15,040 tour will include four nights at Devani Palace Acropolis Hotel in Athens, which includes breakfast, 241 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:20,880 one night at Amelia Hotel in Delphi, which includes breakfast, one night at Grand Meteora Hotel in 242 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:27,120 Kalambaka with breakfast, two nights at Mediterranean Palace Hotel in Thessaloniki, that includes 243 00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:33,280 breakfast, two dinners at local restaurants, tour guide throughout, deluxe coach throughout, admissions 244 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:40,720 to museums and sites, tips to guides, drivers and restaurants, and all local taxes. Estimated cost per 245 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:46,320 person double occupancy room is about $3,000. Attendees need to arrange their own air travel to 246 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:51,280 and from the Athens International Airport. To get your name on the list, send an email to 247 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:57,360 faithtilivby at PamelaChristianMinistries.com with the word Greece in the subject line. In the body 248 00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:02,320 of the email, provide your name, contact information, and number of people you expect to be in your 249 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:07,520 party. This will place your name on the interested in attending list, but does not obligate you in 250 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:13,840 any way. It merely assures you have first right of refusal come February 2025 when down payments are due. 251 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:19,360 If you didn't get the details written down that I just shared, simply visit my Beyond the Podcast 252 00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:24,720 page using the link in the show notes.

My aim with that course is to help people learn how not only to use apologetics 255 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,280 to share truth with others, but to help Christian leaders incorporate apologetics into their 256 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:46,160 respective ministries so more Christians are learning how to share their faith.

I hope you'll 310 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:34,240 join me next week and tell your friends and family to listen right here on Faith to Live By, where we 311 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:40,320 learn how to gain spiritual victory over life's issues. Until next week, I'm Pam Christian, 312 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:54,400 asking you to remember Christ died for us. The least we can do is live for him.
