Innocence Redeemed

Christians & Halloween

On this episode of the Innocence Redeemed podcast, I will be talking about how many professing Christians celebrate Halloween under the guise of an innocent approach and how celebrating Halloween is anything but innocent but rather a deception and the reasons why we should not be celebrating it as it pertains to scripture.

 

Verses I quoted in this article as well as the article I read can be referenced on the blog entry for this podcast;

Depression, Weariness & Feeling Beat Down (JPH Radio)

On this episode of the Innocence Redeemed podcast, I was a guest on Just Praise Him Radio with Glynda Lomax.  The topic is, 'Depression, Weariness & Feeling Beat Down.'

 

Lately, more Christians than not have been fighting a hard battle against weariness, depression and feeling beat down. With everything that is going on in our world, this should be no surprise.

 

Today myself, Glynda Lomax of Just Praise Him Today and our mutual friend, Tom Bixler, discuss our experiences with these emotions and talk about them from a Biblical point of view. We also offer solutions we have tried and found helpful.

 

We hope if you are going through any of these things that you will find help and hope in this podcast.

 

Below, some excellent quotes by myself and Tom Bixler from this podcast that I feel are well worth repeating.

 

Quotes by Tom Bixler:

 

'Why bother? This is despair talking. Depression ushers in despair. This is not of the Lord.'

 

'Our decrees disrupt evil spiritual strongholds. They tear through them like when ripping apart a woven fabric. They cause damage on the dark side.'

 

'Depression and weariness almost always work in tandem.'

 

'Discouragement is actually of demonic origin.'

 

Quotes by Ray Bergman of Innocence Redeemed:

 

'What He (the Lord) means by this is; spend less time worrying and more time praying. More time doing His will.'

 

'If we are worrying more than we are spending time with Him, it is the opposite of what He wants from us. These can also lead to sin and temptation.'

 

'Be that shining light for someone else. Think of all the times you went through something and how the Lord saw you through it. If you are fortunate enough not to be going through something and see someone else who is, be a testimony to them of the Lord’s strength and mercy. He has blessed you, now go bless them!'

 

'So much depression could be alleviated by simply being doers of the Word.'

 

Quotes by Glynda Lomax of Just Praise Him Today:

 

'Worry saps the joy from today and accomplishes nothing. Therefore, Take no thought for tomorrow. Sufficient for today is the evil thereof.  Let’s overcome evil with good every chance we get. Love on everyone you can and store up treasure in heaven because we’re going home soon, guys!'

 

'Alot of what is going to get us through these times is just remembering we won’t be here forever - this too shall pass.'

 

'We have heaven to look forward to, and the wicked who are having so much fun passing evil laws and working havoc and destruction here aren’t invited to our party there.  The door will be SHUT to them.'

 

'God WILL avenge all that is done to us and all that we lose in this world because of wicked leaders if we keep our side of the street clean by always doing what is right ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD.'

Patience Tests & Trials

On this episode of the Innocence Redeemed podcast I will be talking about the season of testing and trials many of us are going through right now or soon will be if not yet.  I will explain the Lord's desire for us to keep our focus on Him and not the trials and worries as He will lead us to victory!

Understanding Endurance & Many Trials

On this episode of the Innocence Redeemed podcast, I will be describing recent trials myself as well as many others are experiencing and what the Lord is doing when we experience these tests of our faith.  I will explain what we normally feel when we begin going through them and talk about why these trials as a refinement of our faith are so important to enduring until the very end, particularly in this season we find ourselves now.

Taking The Faithful Stand Against Fear

On this episode of the Innocence Redeemed podcast, I will be talking about standing strong in the Words of the Lord despite the storm around us which is rousing attacks of anxiety and fear within many Christians today.  I present the example of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and how they stood strong in their faith against King Nebuchadnezzar in did not waiver in the face of persecution even when they were being thrown into the fiery furnace and the Lord was with them in all of it and close out with encouraging verses that the Lord will always be with us in times of adversity when everything around us seems impossible and the illustration that fear is an attack on our faith for the means of control.  Stand strong in your faith my friends.

The Prodigal & The Wilderness

As I realize that my podcast on Misleading Pastors and Prophets may have been a bit strong-winded for some, I felt led to do a follow-up.  In this episode of the Innocence Redeemed podcast, I will explain what my reasons were behind that and I put emphasis on the reason why many are going into a wilderness, the refinement that the Lord requires and I explain the parable of the prodigal son returning to his father as it pertains to us Christians returning to the Lord when we have wandered down the backslidden path.

 

I also put it into perspective on how they are both tied together in many cases in the sense that the Lord desires not only to show you something, but how to put your full trust in HIM.  Please note, this is not the part 2 on apathy and indifference that I said I will be working on.

Misleading Pastors & Prophets

On this episode of the Innocence Redeemed podcast, I will be talking about pastors, priests, prophets and others who mislead the Lord's sheep.  I present the consequences of this as well as give an example.  I offer some convicting questions that I encourage fellow believers to ask themselves then segue into what I will be talking about in my next podcast in regards to apathy and indifference and that the misleading is how we got here.  This podcast is part one of a two part series.

Rise Up & Fight The Devil’s Attacks

On this episode of the Innocence Redeemed podcast, myself and Glynda Lomax of Just Praise Him will be discussing distractions, prayerlessness, decreeing the Word of God and how to fight the enemy with the Sword of God's Word.

After two days of fighting everything but the kitchen sink to get this recorded, we finally got it. Suffice to say, the enemy does NOT want you to hear this message.  Many are having to contend with these attacks right now and both Glynda and myself pray it is a blessing to you!
