    Test The Spirits | #51

    Have you ever stopped to consider the real intentions behind spiritual teachings, and whether they align with the core truths of Christianity? This episode of More Faith, More Life challenges us to apply the biblical instruction of 'testing the spirits' to our modern religious landscape. We delve into 1 John chapter 4 to confront the essential truth that discerning the nature of Jesus Christ is about examining the doctrines of people, not just supernatural entities. By revisiting historical debates and the significance of Jesus being both fully human and divine, we set the stage to rethink our theology and its profound impact on our relationship with Him. Key Takeaways: John encourages believers to test the spirits and discern whether they come from God by examining the teachings and representations of Jesus to ensure they align with the biblical truth. The spirit of Antichrist is not limited to a specific person but refers to a theology or teaching that opposes or distorts the true nature of Jesus. It seeks to enthroned humanity instead of Christ and diminishes His divinity. To experience the power and freedom of God, it is crucial to give Jesus the highest position in our lives. He is both fully human and fully God, and acknowledging and serving Him as such is essential for true transformation. Steve cautions against a form of religion that focuses solely on soothing individuals' hurts and needs without leading to genuine change. It is important to move beyond psychological comfort and embrace the transformative power of the Gospel. The mark of the beast, often associated with the Antichrist, symbolizes the enthronement of humanity instead of Christ. It represents a self-centered approach to life that opposes the lordship of Jesus. Looking for more?

    Ask and Receive  | #50

    Unlock the transformative power of faith and prayer as we dissect the essence of asking and receiving in alignment with the teachings of the Bible. Prepare to have your perspective on spiritual fulfillment revolutionized, as we traverse the story of Palm Sunday and its profound implications for confronting corruption within our modern-day religion. Throughout this episode, I delve into how faith serves as a catalyst for positive change, while also shedding light on how the very same beliefs can be misdirected by the nature of institutionalized deceit. Key Takeaways: Understanding the Will of God: When we ask God for something, it is crucial to align our requests with His will. By seeking wisdom and discernment, we can ensure that our prayers are in line with God's plans and purposes. Faith and Doubt: Jesus teaches that when we ask God for something, we must do so with unwavering faith. Doubt can hinder our prayers and make us unstable in our beliefs. Trusting in God's faithfulness and promises is essential for receiving what we ask for. Motives Matter: Our motives behind our requests are significant to God. It is essential to examine our hearts and ensure that our desires are aligned with God's kingdom and not driven by selfishness or personal gain. The Power of Wisdom: Asking for wisdom is a powerful prayer that can guide us in making the right decisions and understanding God's will. Wisdom covers all aspects of life and helps us navigate challenges and opportunities with discernment. Unleashing God's Blessings: When we ask according to God's will, without doubting and with pure motives, we can experience the abundant life that Jesus promises. God desires to bless His children and fulfill their needs, but it is our responsibility to approach Him with faith and obedience. Looking for more?

  • Palm Sunday - The Untold Story | #49

    Palm Sunday - The Untold Story | #49

    Unlock the secrets of Palm Sunday as we journey through time to unravel the intricacies of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. We're peeling back the layers of this biblical narrative, exploring the unmounted colt, the palm branches, and the resonant cries of "Hosanna." Together, we delve into the symbolism and actions that have defined this moment for centuries. The discussion breathes new life into the age-old story, highlighting its relevance today. We reveal how Jesus' purposeful visit to the temple was more than just a simple act of observation—it was a demonstration of authority and a prelude to his transformative teachings. Key Takeaways: Palm Sunday, also known as the triumphal entry, was a significant event in Jesus' life where he entered Jerusalem as a conquering king. The actions of the people during the triumphal entry, such as waving palm branches and shouting "Hosanna," were symbolic gestures typically reserved for conquering kings or warriors. Jesus' entry into the temple and subsequent actions, including overturning tables and driving out money changers, symbolized his disapproval of the compromised religion of the time. The fig tree that Jesus cursed represents the religion of the day, which lacked true fruitfulness and the presence of God. The destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD was a preventable disaster that resulted from the failure of the people to recognize and address their compromised religion. Looking for more?

  • God's Plan for Prosperity | #48

    God's Plan for Prosperity | #48

    Join us on a journey of faith and financial wisdom where we explore God's plan for our prosperity, even in the midst of economic challenges like inflation and rising taxes. We lean on Jeremiah 29:11 to understand that prosperity is part of God's plan for us, and we discuss the importance of acquiring this vision through faith. But it's not just about the spiritual; it's also about the practical. In this discussion, we use the process of buying a car as a real-life example, highlighting the pitfalls that can lead to debt and negative equity. I'll share with you the wisdom needed to navigate financial decisions, applying Godly principles to overcome worldly tactics, and how this can lead to making sound investments for your future. Key Takeaways: God has a plan for prosperity, and it is important to align one's actions with that plan. In an inflationary economy, it is crucial to be mindful of the financial implications of car financing and avoid becoming upside down on car loans. Instead of focusing on monthly payments, it is advisable to consider the overall cost of the car and its depreciation value over time. Buying a slightly used car with low mileage can be a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a brand new car. Online car shopping can provide more options and opportunities for negotiation, allowing buyers to find the best deal. Looking for more?

  • Balancing Act: Combining Politics and Jesus | #47

    Balancing Act: Combining Politics and Jesus | #47

    Join me as I share insights from my recent journey to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington DC, where the fusion of spiritual beliefs and political ideologies stirred up quite the debate. This isn't about pushing for legislation of faith, but rather infusing political conversation with a fresh, spiritually informed perspective. I'll recount a personal anecdote where my words were misconstrued by the media, leading to an unexpected backlash, and discuss the pivotal role of spiritual values amidst the fleeting nature of political shifts, particularly with elections looming. Key Takeaways: Steve shares the challenges he encountered in conveying his message about combining the spiritual with the political while attending the conservative political action conference (CPAC). The purpose is not to advocate for legislating spiritual beliefs or pushing a conservative agenda. The true focus is on influencing politicians and people in positions of influence with spiritual principles to bring about positive change in society. The importance of a spiritual revival in the country and the need to change hearts rather than relying solely on political solutions. Looking for more?
