Greetings and welcome to this edition of Faith
to Live By, where each week I help us explore
current world events from a biblical and prophetic
perspective, so we, as God's children, can know
how He wants us to respond. I'm Pam Christian,
the creator, researcher, writer, producer, and
host of this podcast ever working to become one
of your most trusted truth advocates. This week
is part two of January of Justice, a term the
Lord used through a prophetic word spoken by
Amanda Grace. In fact, it was Amanda Grace from
Ark of Grace and Eric Burton from Groundbreakers
International who both said we should expect
January to be explosive, providing demonstrations
of what we can expect for the rest of the entire
year of 2026. Well, God revealed we should expect
January of Justice ferocious February, all setting
us up for roaring March, which certainly seems
to have started at 1201 a .m. on January 1, 2026.
As I promised last week, today I will explore
some of the major headlines along with the prophecies
and warnings God provided ahead of time to reveal
we are now living in the time of prophecy fulfilled,
and we should have the expectations for the entire
year to be as explosive as it has begun. If you're
a regular listener, first I want to express my
sincerest gratitude for you and again encourage
you to email me and let me know how this podcast
blesses you or maybe you can recommend a topic
you want me to cover. I truly cherish having
the opportunity to interact with you via email.
For those of you who are new to this podcast,
which on January 1st included a tremendous increase
of listeners from Singapore and on January 4th
a greatly increased number from Japan. I couldn't
believe the analytics when I saw them. I sincerely
welcome you to this podcast and I ask you to
send me an email to let me know what's going
on that caused such a large increase of listeners
in your areas of the world. Also please consider
bookmarking or otherwise making certain you know
to listen to my podcast each and every week.
I post a new edition every Wednesday day at four
o 'clock a .m. Pacific time. New listeners also
need to know about the work I do and how it's
always to help us to discover and live in life
-giving truth and experience all the blessings
truth provides. That is certainly true of this
podcast which has been granted unsolicited awards
and also with my multiple award -winning book
series and my complimentary award -winning bi
-monthly blog. I'm extremely devoted to God's
Kingdom work so to have all three of these areas
of my effort recognized with various awards is
really truly gratifying. I expect you to be diligent
in making sure your listening to me is worthwhile.
For that reason, I have provided an about page
on my pamelacristianministries .com website,
which you can access from the top horizontal
menu bar. You'll find the links to my statement
of faith and to testimonials, and you'll see
endorsements and descriptions of my books on
that page. Okay, let's get started. I am convinced
God provides prophetic promises from both His
written or Logos word, the Bible, and also through
His spoken or Rhema words through His trusted
modern -day prophets. I realize some do not believe
God speaks prophetically today. In response,
I ask those people to reconsider in light of
what I bring you today. Since God is a loving
God who wants only the best for His children,
He has and will always provide us advanced warning
of what to expect for the following reasons.
To make certain we are not caught off guard when
events unfold. To allow us to be both spiritually
and practically prepared for what will happen.
To provide us necessary strategy to successfully
conduct spiritual warfare against the enemy.
And to position us to take hold of the victories
and blessings he wants to bestow upon his children.
Already in the time between Christmas and New
Year 2025 to 2026, it is nearly overwhelming
the number of prophecies that are being fulfilled.
We can also see how world events are shaping
up to allow many more prophecies to be fulfilled
in the weeks and months to follow. Amanda Grace,
a proven modern -day prophet who has a tremendous
following, is one prophet I've had the privilege
to meet in person and I've had as a guest on
my podcast several times. I want to start today
with a clip from Amanda Grace recorded August
2025 where God forewarns us what he plans to
do. Don't assume this word is specific for the
United States. It is a word for all nations to
heed and I believe now is the time we are seeing
God act. on this warning. I, the Lord, am preparing
to pass through your nation. Ready yourselves,
my children, consecrate yourselves before me,
for there is an appointed time fast approaching,
says the Lord, where I, the Lord, shall purge
and clear out the decay and the old guard that
has attempted to keep a grip within areas of
your nation, within areas of the church. There
is a changing of the guard that has been set
in motion, says the Lord, a prophetic sign that
the old is passing away. You are entering a new
season, a new time, where I, the Lord thy God,
am uniquely equipping my capital children for
the time requires it, says the Lord. The time
requires an equipping that is unique to what
is stirring in your nation, to what is moving
about in the earth. You shall be double seasoned,
says the Lord. I shall accelerate and pull forth
from you a sharpening of the gifts for it shall
be needed in this time, says the Lord. In addition,
Amanda also posted one short video titled, 2026,
a year of transition and repositioning, which
she ran January 1st. In it, she cautions us to
get ready for this year by buckling up and armoring
up in preparation to take territory for the kingdom
of God this year like never before in our lifetimes.
and on January 2nd she posted a full -length
video titled Prophetic Alert 2026 wartime and
reversals. I encourage you to watch the whole
video. If you can you'll find a link in the show
notes. In it, she shared several prior prophecies
with an overview of how the intensification of
evil worldwide at this time is the effort of
the enemy to gain control over the successes
the Trump administration has had in the nations
of the world because the enemy wants to gain
control of the United States midterms to control
world events moving forward. She also explained,
which is entirely consistent with my interpretation,
while evil intensifies It is God's intent for
His people to rise up in partnership with Jesus
to appropriate the victory Christ has already
secured for us. You have likely heard the scripture
that states, from the days of John the Baptist
until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence,
and the violent take it by force. That's from
Matthew chapter 11 verse 12. I can think of no
more appropriate scripture for these days. The
violence the kingdom of heaven suffers is imposed
by the enemy of God his followers who indeed
use force, evil forces, to accomplish their agenda.
However, in response, God expects his people
to rise up, appropriating the victory of Christ,
utilizing the spiritual weapons of warfare against
the enemy to rout him back, forcing him to give
up the territory and people he has sought for
his own evil intentions. The word route R -O
-U -T is a military term that means to drive
the enemy back in chaos. A route is a complete
defeat and disorderly uncontrollable flight of
troops from a battlefield where the unit cohesion
and command and control have completely failed.
It is distinct from an orderly military withdrawal
or retreat, which is a planned movement of forces
that maintains unit integrity and the ability
to continue fighting. No, a route, as I said,
is a disorderly, uncontrollable flight of troops
from a battlefield where the unit cohesion and
command and control have completely failed. In
a natural military setting, the goal of a victorious
force in a battle is often to achieve a route,
as this allows the Allies to pursue the fleeing
enemy and destroy their fighting capability with
far less risk for the Allies than a fight to
the death would entail. And I want us to understand,
there is a strategy involved in any and all battles,
spiritual or natural. I want us to begin thinking
in terms of spiritual strategies so we can achieve
a route, allowing us to chase the fleeing enemy
and destroy his fighting capability with far
less risk to ourselves than otherwise. With this
in mind, I want you to consider the many high
alert world events happening at this very time.
Certainly we must think of events in Iran, North
Korea, China, Taiwan, Russia. Ukraine, Venezuela,
Canada, Europe, and the United States, and there
are more countries. I very much want you to know
God has been prophetically addressing these matters
long before today. My regular listeners know
I present prophecy about world events with the
vast majority of my podcasts. With the other
episodes I share historical background so we
can know the truth about how conflicts and evil
inroads were established. With her January 2nd
video, Amanda Grace cautioned this is a time
of very high alert for God's people. She shared
prior prophecies addressing Iran, North Korea,
China, Russia, Venezuela, and Taiwan as examples
of evil leaders of nations receiving the evil
they planned for others back upon themselves,
like Haman in the Book of Esther. She also explicitly
talked about New York City's new mayor, Zoran
Mamdani, and how he is another type of Haman
plotting evil against the people that will return
upon him instead. Because I have followed Amanda
for years, I know God has also spoken about Great
Britain under the plans of the monarchy, also
suffering a collapse. I believe their collapse
will be in part because of the significant infiltration
of militant Muslims. Reportedly, they threatened
terrorist attacks in Europe for New Year's Eve,
resulting in all New Year's Eve events being
cancelled. Conversely, here in the United States
in response to terrorist attacks on New Year's
Eve, the FBI was sent out and was successful
in thwarting the attacks. Now I point out the
difference in the response of the two nations,
Europe responding in fear for lack of alignment
with God, whereas the United States responds
in faith obedient to the instructions of God.
We must pray for all the people of Europe to
return to God through faith in Jesus so they
may advance by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amanda also spoke of the unbelievable financial
fraud being uncovered apparently committed by
simoleons in Minnesota that is also exposing
similar fraud in other states. And while Amanda
didn't address it, I am aware of tremendous momentum
surging exposing decades of undeniable election
fraud that is surfacing at the same time. In
fact, for reasons very soon to be publicly known,
President Donald Trump is posting a lot about
election fraud in these first few days of 2026.
God has said before He would be exposing and
dealing with all manner of evil at a pace that
will cause our heads to swim, and clearly His
intervention has begun. If we didn't have the
long -standing promises from God written in the
Bible along with His modern -day specific reassuring
prophetic words, We would definitely be overwhelmed
seeing all these world events happening concurrently.
Instead, God wants us to take courage in the
midst of all of this, confident he is at work
as we partner with him to have the victory and
to enjoy his protection and provision. Let me
weigh in now on some of what Amanda said specific
to Zahran Mamdani, the first Muslim voted mayor
of New York City. Amanda revealed many dark and
sinister evidences and symbolisms surrounding
his ceremony of being sworn into office, how
he used a Quran instead of the Bible, and how
Attorney General Letitia James, Bernie Sanders,
and Governor Kathy Hochul were all present as
willing partners in agreement with his platform.
Amanda revealed the parallels of Mamdani's Agenda
and that of Haman from the Book of Esther. giving
us reasons to believe like Haman, the evil Mamdani
seeks to impose on others will come back upon
him and those working with him as God intervenes
to spare his people. In fact Amanda Grace and
Julie Green both have spoken of what they call
Esther 2 events that will occur in our time.
Let me share now a portion of what Amanda Grace
posted. Hello everyone, Amanda Grace here. So
at midnight January 1st, Zoram Mamdani in an
abandoned New York City subway stop was sworn
in as mayor. I want to show you what's hidden
within these events, the prophetic and spiritual
undertones that literally have been hidden within
the details of these events. This is no accident.
This is unfolding the way it is. Now, I've shown
this before, Zoram Mamdani has the word Haman
in his name. He literally has the word Haman
hidden in his name. Haman is from the book of
Esther in the Bible, the enemy of the people
of God who was raised up to a position of political
power, issued a decree of destruction against
the people of God to try to destroy them, which
then the Lord raises people up in order then
to start bringing forth events that caused a
divine reversal and that decree of destruction
fell upon Haman and the people of God were spared.
Now, hidden within, this part I haven't shown,
within the events of the swearing in, let me
show you what's hidden within it. Ready? New
York City Mayor Zoram Mamdani to be sworn in
at an abandoned subway stop. Hidden within the
details of this, you can spell this, Purim Decree
Adar destruction. Adar was the month that the
lot was cast on that Haman decided that would
be the month that the decree of destruction would
take effect and the people of God would be destroyed.
So hidden within the swearing -in between two
blood moons that happened Purim 2025 and are
occurring Purim 2026, which is from the book
of Esther, you have from New York City Mayor
Zoram Mamdani to be sworn in an abandoned subway
stop, Purim Decree, Adar Destruction. This is
not an accident. This is prophetic. This is what's
attempting to spiritually align in order to bring
events forth in the natural to try to cast a
timeline to send out decrees of destruction.
So we need to be watchmen. We need to be interceding
and in prayer. And we need to be sounding the
alarm about this. God bless everyone. Keep the
faith. By the way, as strange as it may seem
for Mom Donnie to be sworn in at midnight, it's
not entirely unheard of. Several past mayors
of New York City have done the same. Eric Adams
took his oath in Times Square shortly after the
ball dropped January 1, 2022. Also, Bill de Blasio
was sworn in at 1201 a .m. on January 1, 2014.
And Fiorella LaGuardia took office at midnight
on January 1, 1934 and immediately began working.
Even so, the location for Mamdani's swearing
-in being underground in an abandoned subway
stop and the use of the Quran representing a
covenant with Allah who is not God, but rather
the spirit behind radical Islam, is highly suspect.
God has had a lot to say about the corruption
in New York City and the state for several years
now, giving warning and opportunity for all who
are involved with evil to repent or find themselves
under God's hand of justice. Let me insert here
what Julie Green had to say that is relative
to what is taking place in New York as well as
other cities and nations. In a word posted November
29, 2025, Julie Green said, quote, The enemies
of this nation have tried since the Declaration
of Independence was signed to control you and
to destroy your independence. Great Britain will
be exposed for their infiltrators and the deals
they have made with the establishment. Oh my
United States, your independence from Great Britain
has not been the way it has seemed. They never
gave up and made a different plan to steal this
nation. Soon that plan will be revealed and destroyed
by my outstretched hand says the Lord Great Britain
will pay a high price for trying to take down
my nation and bring it under the rule of the
globalists end quote Prophecy from God is his
grace at work to give people an opportunity to
repent before he intervenes when God exposes
evil and corruption we can know he's very close
to administering his judgment. In addition to
New York and Pennsylvania, we are seeing exposure
of evil in Minnesota, Ohio, Michigan, California,
and other places. Woe to those who refuse to
repent. As God has revealed, corruption exists
in many countries globally. We've recently learned
of the Trump administration's capture of Nicolas
Maduro of Venezuela in response to the corruption
there. Before I provide some background, let
me share two separate prophetic words God gave
through Julie Green that addresses the corrupt
governments. On February 27, 2023, and posted
on March 7, 2023, Julie shared a word titled,
Collapse of Global Government Control. In it,
she said, quote, Watch Venezuela. An event will
take place there that the world cannot ignore.
their government will collapse along with many
others. You will see more and more governments
collapse, and your news will act like it's not
a big deal. But with all these governments coming
down, I will show you that I am the judge over
this earth, and judgment has come, and justice
will prevail. A collapse of global government
is about to be seen big time, says the Lord of
Hosts." The other prophecy through Julie was
received on December 27, 2025, and posted on
December 30, 2025. It was titled, The Great Exodus
Wealth Transfer is Coming. In it, God said, will
be exposed. There is more going on in the waters
than the world knows about. I have repeatedly
told you to watch the waters. I have told you
about cargo ships and submarines. The things
your enemies have hidden in the waters will come
to the surface." Now I know the headline news
about President Trump carrying out airstrikes
against Venezuela's ocean vessels came out early
September 2025, but this word from December 2025
talks about there being far more going on in
the waters than the world knows about for Venezuela.
Now to provide some background, Venezuela's government
has long been recognized as a corrupt authoritarian
regime with a state -controlled economy that
has failed, leading to humanitarian disaster.
And it has been in perpetual transitions for
25 years while constantly confronting the United
States. Nicolas Maduro was elected president
of Venezuela in 2013 after Hugo Chavez's death,
then supposedly again in a widely disputed 2019
election. However, The 2024 election, where he
claimed victory, is considered fraudulent by
many nations, with the opposition candidate winning
according to the election data, leaving Maduro
to remain in power despite international condemnation
and lack of recognition from over 50 countries.
Maduro and his wife Celia Flores have a standing
United States federal indictment from March 2020
on charges of narcoterrorism conspiracy cocaine
importation conspiracy, and weapons charges.
The United States Department accused him of leading
a corrupt, illegitimate government that facilitated
the trafficking of hundreds of tons of cocaine
into the United States. August 2024, a $50 million
bounty for Maduro's capture was announced. Following,
we saw a massive military buildup of United States
naval forces in the Caribbean Sea, and there
have been dozens of military strikes on alleged
drug -smuggling boats in international waters
since September 2025, and a CIA -led drone strike
on a docking facility on Venezuelan soil just
days before the capture. The United States had
reportedly offered Maduro several off -ramps
to relinquish power peacefully and leave the
country, which he refused, ultimately leading
to the decision for military action resulting
in Maduro and his wife's capture on January 3rd,
2026. That same day Maduro and his wife were
flown to New York and are being held at the Metropolitan
Detention Center in Brooklyn to face drug and
weapons charges. This was the status of events
at the time of writing this podcast. I'll bring
updates next week. Naturally, while over 50 nations
agree with Trump's decisive action, the Dems
in the United States Congress call for Trump's
impeachment, while the people of Venezuela celebrate
and look forward to freedoms under a rightful
government. Specific to the people of Venezuela
celebrating, Maria Corina Machado on X posted
the following, the brave people of Venezuela.
took to the streets in 30 countries in 130 cities
around the world to celebrate a huge step that
marks the inevitability and eminence of the transition
in Venezuela. We Venezuelans thank President
Trump and his administration for their firmness
and determination in upholding the law. Venezuela
will be the main ally of the United States in
matters of security, energy, democracy, and human
rights. The freedom of Venezuela is near and
soon we will celebrate on our land. We will shout,
pray, and embrace as family because our children
will return home." We need to learn and get our
truth from eyewitness testimonies and not the
propaganda promoted by mainstream media and those
who have been gaslighted by the deep state. So
I urge you to learn more about the truth of Venezuela.
Please use the link in the show notes highlighting
Rafael de la Fuente, an impassioned man from
Venezuela who brings the truth about the whole
matter for the past 25 years, which had been
beyond dire. I posted this along with comments
from Sidney Powell on my social media, another
example why our connecting on social media is
worthwhile. I started this podcast over five
years ago to help us know the truth with the
realization we've been propagandized by our own
governments, media, and education systems. It's
embarrassing for so many people to still simply
parrot what they hear without researching, especially
when it impacts precious human lives. I have
a great overview report from the Epoch Times
that you can read and you'll find the link in
the show notes. Here again we must consider the
many prophetic warnings God has given us to see
this as God's intervention, exposure, and judgment
against evil. Take a listen to a quick post by
Amanda Grace referencing a prophecy she received
in 2023. Now I want to read to you a word from
the Lord from December 11, 2023. Venezuela is
in this word, very interesting how the wording
of this word went. This is what it says. And
thus says the Lord, this joy, which stands for
the justice of Yahweh, shall be written in areas
of the earth. There are areas of the earth marked
for this joy. O Israel, O America, O France,
O England, O Venezuela. And then the Lord goes
on to say in the word later on, January is marked,
says the Lord, January is marked. Venezuela is
the sixth nation mentioned in that list. And
in 2026, the leader fell in January, which the
Lord said in this word, December 11th, 2023,
was marked. I don't think that's a coincidence.
I think we're watching within the earth the justice
of Yahweh, the joy of the Lord right now, go
out into these nations. And this is why you're
seeing Venezuela and Iran and soon other nations
will follow. And you're watching this suddenly
erupt at the beginning of 2026. So continue to
be watchmen right now. Keep the faith. God bless.
At this point, I want to insert another word
God prophetically spoke through Julie Green concerning
Venezuela, which she posted on December 16, 2025.
Massive deep state secrets and swamp ties to
Venezuela will come pouring out. The organizations
and the covert operations Obama has been working
with Venezuela, the CIA and the FBI and what
they have been truly doing in Venezuela to the
American people is appalling. My children, nations
all around the world will be hit hard for the
destruction they have caused around the globe.
Now I checked the earthquake reports for Venezuela
since the December 16th date of Julie's posted
prophecy, and nothing massive has hit yet, so
we should expect to see that happen. In the meantime,
pray for God's people to be spared. Through Julie
Green especially, God has spoken of his plans
to administer judgment greater than he did against
Egypt, which we read about in the book of Exodus.
Greater because this will be a worldwide intervention.
God spared his own people then in the city of
Goshen when he delivered his people from Egypt.
So we must pray for God's people everywhere to
be similarly protected as he administers his
judgment in our day. Now let me shift to what's
taking place in Iran. For the past several years
Israel, Iran, terrorist groups in the Middle
East, false claims concerning Pakistan and so
much more have been headline news. The Middle
East has been and always will be a hotbed of
events as evil continues to try to overcome good
in the spiritual battle the whole world is subjected
to. If you are not a regular listener or you
need a refresher course to have a biblical understanding
about the history and the future of the Middle
East, consider listening to my podcasts number
173, 175, 261, 262, 264, and 267. Then specific
to Palestine, listen to episodes 172, 179, and
180. Now, here's what Amanda Grace recently shared
about Iran. Hello everyone, Amanda Grace here
from Ark of Grace Ministries. So the situation
in Iran is deteriorating. The uprisings are increasing,
the people are fed up, the economy is collapsing,
and their leadership is on the brink of collapse.
I want to read to you a word from the Lord from
July 3rd, 2025 having to do with this. You can
go to arkofgrace .org, click on blogs, click
on current blog, and you can search for this
word. July 3rd, 2025, word of the Lord. Persia
has been warned, says the Lord, to stop the shedding
of innocent blood, yet they have postured in
defiance before me, says the Lord, and dug in
their heels and stiffened their necks, says the
Lord, and for such the neck of Iran shall now
be broken, says the Lord, and their oil, their
commodities from within the earth shall now be
pinched shut, says the Lord, for the leader has
but a moment left before a great implosion from
within. For this is the time of the Esther 2
moment within nations, says the Lord, including
Iran, says the Lord, including America, says
the Lord, guards conspiring against their leaders,
says the Lord, for evidence shall rise to the
surface of such, says the Lord. And we see what's
happening. This implosion has happened. and rapidly
the situation is changing in Iran. So pray for
the people of Iran. Pray for them to come to
know Jesus Christ as well as their Lord and Savior
in the midst of this. God bless everyone. Be
the watchman right now. Keep the faith. We've
covered a lot today and yet there's so much more
we'll cover with future podcasts. In keeping
with today's focus, let's understand God is at
work everywhere there is evil. He has been sternly
addressing his people to have us understand the
urgency of the times and our role in partnership
with him to see his kingdom will done on earth
as it is in heaven. Amanda explains, God has
been faithful and prophetically forewarning us
so we as the Church, as the Ecclesia, can be
on watch and ready to partner with Him to see
His victories displace evil. God has always intended
the Ecclesia to be the influence to control evil,
a role we have failed in over the past several
decades. However, now is the time. God is calling
His people to be repositioned and ready to take
our rightful place. Hear now what God said about
these very days from an excerpt of a prophetic
word Amanda Grace gave December 22nd, 2025. Happy
New Year, everyone. Going into 2026, I want to
read this very important excerpt from the word
from the Lord that I received December 20th,
2025. I delivered it December 22nd, 2025, and
this excerpt is very important going into the
new year. And the word of the Lord says, I the
Lord the Alpha and Omega sit on the highest throne.
Come unto me, petition me in this hour, for I
the Lord am hearkening unto the voice of my people
who have been faithful and their needs. Bring
them before me, says the Lord. State your case.
The heart of the giver shall be blessed, says
the Lord, amongst the tumult. I the Lord shall
pour incredible blessing. Upon my faithful one
says the Lord that they overflow and prosper
to do the work I have commissioned Those who
speak truth and are willing to say what others
remain silent on to keep what they have built
those I shall greatly bless says the Lord those
verdicts and blessings shall come forth starting
the end of what you call December says the Lord
and it shall be a year of outpouring on my people
who willing to stand and speak truth Amongst
the tumult says the Lord, I the Lord hold the
resources, I hold the gold, I hold the silver.
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness Thereof,
I can bless and provide no matter what earthly
systems attempt to oppress, says the Lord. Ask
of me now, says the Lord, for I seek to bestow
special gifts upon the faithful. For you are
entering a year of great transition, great change,
a repositioning of territory, of voices, of physical
land, says the Lord, that my will may go forth
and the plans of the enemy be exposed, thwarted,
dismantled, and sophisticated argument. to the
highest areas of your nation be refuted and dismantled,
says the Lord." So this word, excerpt of it,
is crucial and important going into the new year.
And so bring your case before the Lord now. Bring
your petitions before the Lord. God bless everyone.
Keep the faith. Armor up for 2026. Be the watchman.
I agree, as Amanda said, this is a crucial word
for 2026 directed at God's people. God is calling
us to our positions, to man our posts, to be
ready to do what he has commissioned us to do
in partnership with him as he works to expose,
thwart, and dismantle the works of the enemy
to call down every sophisticated argument contrary
to the word and will of God, refuting and dismantling
them. to the uttermost. God invites us to bring
our petitions to him stating he longs to pour
out special blessings for this time so his people
are able to prosper even abundantly during a
time of great tumult intending to bless his children
to speak the difficult truth in the midst of
the tumult. God reveals this year of 2026 will
be a year of great change. repositioning of territory,
repositioning of voices, even physical land.
I see it as a time for us to reclaim all that
the enemy has stolen from us. What have you lost
in recent years? What has been stolen from you?
God invites you to bring your petitions before
him. Do you have loved ones who are no longer
walking with the Lord? Do you have loved ones
who have bought the lies of the enemy claiming
the God of the Christian faith is a myth? Do
you have friends and family who claim all roads
lead to the same God in the same heaven? Demand
these lies from the enemy that have deceived
your loved ones be reversed. Didn't God say he
commissions us to call down every sophisticated
argument that sets itself up against the true
Word of God? We read that in 2nd Corinthians
chapter 10 verse 5. That's where we are instructed
to demolish arguments and every pretension that
sets itself up against the knowledge of God and
to take captive every thought to make it obedient
to Christ. Has your health been stolen from you?
Physically, mentally, even emotionally? Have
you been traumatized? Have you or those you love
been deceived into addictions? Do you or those
you love need healing and deliverance? Call it
forth! Now is the time in this particular atmosphere
God has established where our prayers, our decrees,
and our declarations have special anointing for
victory. Has your career, job, income, or opportunities
for your livelihood been stolen from you? Call
it back. Call it back. Are there promises God
has given you that are still pending? Decree
and declare them yours now. By faith we are to
call forth what God says that is not yet as though
it already is. Romans chapter 4 verse 17. God
spoke all that exists into creation and he has
given us the same ability to use our words to
produce his promised results. You may think it's
strange God invites us to present our petitions
before him at this time, but it's the same time
as instructions given to us when we are traveling
by airplane. Should an emergency occur, be sure
to put your oxygen mask on first before attempting
to help others. This strategy for spiritual warfare
must address our own needs first so we can be
the best possible help for others. We need to
be able to fight for the kingdom of God as it
impacts others. We need to be praying for the
protection of God's appointed leaders, for their
safety and that of their loved ones, for them
to have genuinely loyal support from other leaders
to accomplish the good God intends in all the
nations of the world. We need to pray for them
to be courageous and bold as lions, knowing they
are carrying out God's will against an enemy
who opposes them. Our job as joint heirs with
Christ is to use the spiritual authority and
power Christ has given us to route the enemy.
And here are my closing thoughts. I know there
are different Christian denominations and doctrines
that have taught the supernatural gifts of signs
and wonders and miracles, healing and the like
are not available today. I have taught extensively
on this from scripture and from history and from
testimonies, but from me, The most compelling
reason to believe supernatural gifts are available
today is because Jesus said they would be. In
John 14 -12, Jesus tells his followers that they
will do the same works he did and even greater
ones because he is returning to the Father, enabling
the arrival of the Holy Spirit, thereby empowering
his followers for a wider, more profound spiritual
impact including worldwide evangelism, new spiritual
birth, and lasting transformation, all of which
will exceed the supernatural miracles of Christ's
earthly ministry for the purpose of overcoming
evil and glorifying God. What then is to be available
to us as his followers today? Defying natural
laws, calling forth physical healing, ordering
spiritual deliverance, receiving words of knowledge
and prophecy, that are spoken to bring transformation
according to the will and the plans of God the
Father. I ask you to make a point of meditating
on the specific miracles recorded in the Bible
with anticipation of you and many others of Christ
followers today doing the same as Jesus did.
You can find the miracles listed in the four
gospel books of the New Testament. Matthew, Mark,
Luke, and John, and through websites such as
the Blue Letter Bible, discipleship .org, and
elsewhere. I have a link to one of these in the
show notes for you where 60 specific miracles
Jesus performed in his life on earth are listed.
Go through that list and imagine the Holy Spirit
working through you to do some of the very same
miracles and even greater ones than those. Imagine
the impact upon evil, pain, suffering, disease,
poverty, and so much more we can experience if
more of us truly believe what Jesus said we would
do. Did Jesus mean greater in terms of the magnitude
of the miracles or the sheer numbers of the miracles
conducted? Did Jesus mean greater in terms of
level or scale? Well, since He didn't say, why
should we limit God by choosing? Why not believe
Him for both? The key is to do as Jesus example,
which is to say and do what the Father reveals
or instructs. Then and only then can we be confident
what we decree and declare will come to pass.
Imagine being the instrument through whom the
Holy Spirit speaks a word of knowledge or prophecy
that convicts an unbeliever on the spot who immediately
gives their life to Christ. Or being the one
through whom the Holy Spirit uses to restore
sight, hearing, or regrow a limb, or being the
one through whom the Holy Spirit uses to deliver
a person from demonic controls, addiction of
one sort or another, and seeing them delivered
and restored before our very eyes. Should God
work through you like that, you will be just
as in awe and overjoyed as the person receiving
the miracle. Just as we learned, Jesus was limited
in doing miracles in his own hometown because
the people didn't believe he was the Messiah.
Neither will the Holy Spirit work through followers
of Christ who doubt what the Holy Spirit can
and will do through God's children. To help our
unbelief, in addition to studying what Jesus
did as recorded in the New Testament, learn what
the Holy Spirit has done through modern day believers.
As always, we must be discerning and seek the
Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth and to
protect us from deceptions. With that in mind,
I can recommend a book by Craig S. Keener titled
Miracles Today, The Supernatural Work of God
in the Modern World. In it, Keener examines contemporary
miraculous events in Christianity worldwide,
providing evidence and analysis of verifiable
miracles, while explaining their theological
significance and continued occurrence in modern
times. Craig Keener has a PhD from Duke University
and is a professor of New Testament at Asbury
Theological Seminary. Six of his many books have
won national awards and his books together have
sold more than 1 million copies. I have a link
for you where you can get a copy of Keener's
book using my Amazon affiliate link. These are
tumultuous times. We need every able -bodied
Christian to understand their role. their authority,
and their power in God's plan. We need each of
us to step into our individual God -created purpose.
The times are urgent. We need each one of God's
children to do their part. Discovering our unique
God -intended purpose will be the focus of next
week's podcast, precisely because the times are
urgent, affording us no ability to delay. Make
a point of checking back next week so you can
confidently embrace your place in God's plans
and enjoy the abundant blessings and provisions
