Evil represents the genius of Satan in relation to the human race. Satan is trying to replace God’s plan of grace. If you link anything to grace it cancels out grace. Evil can be a system or a deed. “The tongue can no man tame. It is unruly and evil, full of deadly poison” (James 3:8). All sin is evil but all evil is not necessarily a sin. The mentality of the soul is the battleground. If Satan can influence your thoughts, he can control you. Recovering from the evil of human viewpoint thinking and the distortion of God’s Word in your soul takes consistent studying, learning, growing, and applying the Word of God. the Bible warns us not to be influenced by evil. “Beloved, do not be imitators of the evil, but of the good” (3 John 1:11). You need to be able to recognize evil and this takes advancing to spiritual maturity.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/evil-transcript-d3191c

Tying current events with Bible prophecy is speculation. What you see happening in America is the downfall of a client nation but not necessarily an indication of the return of Christ. According to the Bible, the next prophetic event is the Rapture. “We who are still alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so we will be with the Lord forever” (1 Thes 4:13-18). There is a seven-year period called the Tribulation between the Rapture and the Second Advent when our Lord Jesus Christ returns to earth for His Millennial Reign. The Tribulation will be horrific and during this time evil will spread without restraint. During the Tribulation is when the mark of the beast will be a temptation but you don’t need to be concerned with this because if you’re a Christian you won’t be in the Tribulation. The Judgment Seat of Christ occurs during the Tribulation when all your human good will be burned up because anything you’ve done in carnality is unacceptable to God. The battle of Armageddon ends the Tribulation. Satan is defeated. Redeem your time wisely. Grow spiritually. Learn the mechanics of the Christian life.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/bible-prophecy-3acc75

God’s primary will is that everyone believes in His Son and has everlasting life. “Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom 10:13). It’s not God’s will that anyone spends eternity in the Lake of Fire but He has no choice for anyone who rejects His Son and the forgiveness He offers. Divine guidance and executing God’s will are private matters between you and God. The filling of the Holy Spirit empowers you but the Word of God takes you on the journey. To understand God’s will for your life you must be taught God’s Word by a well-qualified pastor and learn it. This is called Biblical inculcation which is perception, metabolization and application. Perception, you hear it. Metabolization, you believe it and store it in your soul. Application, you use it. There are three categories of God’s will: directive, permissive and overruling. When you understand God's directive will through learning His Word, you will know where He wants you to be, what He wants you to think, and what He wants you to do. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight” (Prov 3:5-7).Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/gods-will-47714c

If you die today, will you go to heaven? You can answer Yes, with certainty, if you have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior. “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God” (1 John 5:11-13). Our Lord clarifies that the way to have eternal life is to believe in Him. You are sealed by God the Holy Spirit when you are saved and no one can take you out of God the Father’s hand. You also have the indwelling of Christ. Jesus Christ lives in you! Once you accept Christ as your Savior the next step is to “Grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet 3:18). You must be advancing to spiritual maturity to have an impact for Jesus Christ.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/eternal-security-e212f6

Today, the American temperament is Impatient, irrational, irreverent, insolent, inconsiderate, ignorant and inconsistent. We are at a crossroads in America. God mandates us to deal with all people using His problem-solving devices of personal love for God and impersonal love for all mankind. “Let us love one another for love is from God and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God” (1 John 4:7). We are to use a relaxed mental attitude with all people and re-present Christ. “Do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with any partiality” (James 2:1-4). Impersonal love is loving others based on your character, not theirs. When you are treated unfairly by others you must have the spiritual strength to put it in the Lord’s hands using virtue love. Impersonal love accepts and tolerates people as they are, not as you want them to be. God didn’t send us to straighten people out. Motivational virtue comes from your love for God. Functional virtue is using impersonal love for others. God’s given us His policies, problem-solving devices, instructions, principles, and doctrines all in written form in the Scripture so we should have no doubt about what to do. “I am looking for people that know Me and understand Me” (Jeremiah 9:24).Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/american-temperament-3a1cc3

Your body will age but your soul is forever young. Your spiritual life is lived in your soul. Your soul, and what’s in it, is what goes to heaven. “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5). As you get older there is a change in the arena of contention inside your mind from fleshly desires to now battling aging attacks on your mentality such as frustration, bitterness, doubt, and insecurity. Only a strong spiritual life will keep you encouraged and focused as your body deteriorates. The challenge as you get older is to keep the lanes of thinking open so you can recall the Word of God you have learned and stored in your soul. God wants you to put His Word in your mind now because this divine wisdom will sustain you and give you understanding, discernment, and discretion as you get older. “For wisdom will enter your heart and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul then discretion will protect you and understanding will guard you” (Prov 2:10-11). To live right you must think right. You have to work even harder as you get older to keep your soul’s mentality in shape, to keep your soul in shape. “With your Word in my soul, You will guide me and then afterward take me up to glory” (Ps 73:24).Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/grounded-soul-1298d9

America is under attack by satanic forces. This attack is against the divine institutions of freedom-volition, marriage, family and nationalism. The siege includes replacing divine viewpoint thinking with human viewpoint thinking. A divine viewpoint must be learned from Scripture. You don’t inherit it. Therefore, it is critical you are committed to obeying God’s mandate “Grown in the grace and the knowledge of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet 3:18). America is under siege. The ultimate objective of Satan is to eventually shut down client nation America and limit the impact we have across the world for the Lord Jesus Christ. What can you do about it? Learn to think divine viewpoint and grow to spiritual maturity.Click For Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/america-siege-5d85b3

Expect suffering and testing in your life. This is part of the process to advance to spiritual maturity. “Count it all joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience” (James 1:2-4). God allows trials in your life to develop your patience and test your dedication to Him. You will go through infirmity and distress. Why? On behalf of Christ. “For to you it has been given on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him but also to suffer for His sake" (Phil 1:29). This is how you grow spiritually. Don’t pray for suffering to be removed. This is a means for God to bless you. If God doesn’t remove the suffering, He intends for you to bear it. Self-induced suffering may be unbearable but there is always a way out. Use rebound and get back to God’s plan. When you are undergoing suffering and evidence testing see it as an opportunity to glorify God to the maximum and use it! One of the greatest things you can ever experience is glorifying God to the maximum under evidence testing.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/suffering-transcipt-843518

I fought. I finished. I kept the faith. These are Paul’s final words. “I am now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand. I fought a good fight. I finished the race. I kept the faith” (2 Tim 4:6-7). Paul contended with an adversary his entire life. His ministry was one tremendous test after another. Like Paul, the moment you accept Christ as your Savior you step into the arena of contention called the angelic conflict. To prevail you need to learn and use God’s 10 problem-solving devices. Advancing to #10 Occupation with Jesus Christ is a significant accomplishment. This is you reflecting Jesus Christ through your life. “I want to carry out the mission that I received from Christ, the mission of testifying to the good news of God’s grace” (Acts 20:24).

Rage is a symptom of the epidemic of anger and hatred in America. America is divided and Satan loves this. Satan wants to see God’s client nation America fail. Unhappy and angry people are easily manipulated and there’s no doubt Americans are being manipulated. Hatred is a terrible sin. Hatred turns off the light in your soul. “Refrain from anger, forsake wrath, fret not yourself because it only leads to evil” (James 1:19-20). Remember “God so loved the world” (John 3:16). God loved all mankind, not just the people who think and act like you. The Lord Jesus Christ went to the cross and died for every person so that whosoever will believe in Him will have eternal life.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/age-rage-79678d

If you think you’re having a bad day, remember this lesson on Job and your day won’t look so bad after all. The Bible records the history of Job who had the worst day ever. In just a few hours, maybe even one hour, everything Job had was taken away (his wealth, his children, his possession, his health), and yet he never cursed God. Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God. “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:21). Adversity is inevitable and happens to all of us. Adversity is what circumstances do to you but the mental attitude sins of stress, worry, fear and anxiety are what you do to yourself. It doesn’t need to be this way. You can respond to adversity using the problem-solving device of the faith-rest drill and maintain a relaxed mental attitude. If you’re growing to spiritual maturity and acquiring the mind of Christ, you can handle adversity without freaking out.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/jobs-bad-415b59

One of Satan’s traps is to get you out of sync with God’s timing due to your impulsive behavior. Impulsiveness is the act of doing something without thinking it through. Impulsiveness will destroy your destiny. If Satan can cause confusion and controversy, he can divide and conquer. The number one flaw in the Christian life is arrogance and often impulsive behavior is part of this flaw. Think before you speak or act. You must live by thinking not by emoting. Emotions are the enemy of thought. “A fool expresses all of his emotions but a wise person controls them” (Prov 29:11). A wise person is the one who has the divine viewpoint of the mentality of Christ and he controls his emotions. Wisdom gives you understanding, discernment and insight. Discernment to be able to recognize and control your hidden flaw of impulsive behavior.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/impulsive-behavior-44b348

You are in the arena of contention of the angelic conflict. To be a winner in this conflict it requires spiritual self-discipline. “Run in such a way that you may win” (1 Cor 9:24). To receive the winner’s wreath, you must learn God’s Word by means of the ministry of the Holy Spirit and you must understand the protocol plan of God and adhere to its demands. “If anyone competes as an athlete, he will not be crowned a winner unless he competes according to the rules” (2 Tim 2:5). You build spiritual muscle by acquiring the mind of Christ. “Exercise yourself unto godliness” (1 Tim 4:7). This is your duty and the responsibility under God’s mandates for the spiritual life. The Holy Spirit is your coach. The Bible is your playbook. Paul gives us his pattern for victory. “I fought a good fight. I finished the race. I kept the faith” (2 Tim 4:7). Fought - Finished - Kept the Faith. This is what a winner believer must do to wear the wreath of glory in heaven.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/winner-transcript-1600d8

Are you willing to invest in learning God’s Word? It is going to take time and effort. If you aren't, you will be a spiritual tumbleweed, blown about by the lures, lies and distractions of the world. Only if you have a solid, sound spiritual life rooted in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ can you have what you’re seeking. “Cursed is the strong one who depends on mere humans, the person who thinks he can make it on muscle alone and sets God aside as dead weight. He is like a tumbleweed on the prairie, out of touch with the good earth and the lives rootless and aimless in the land where nothing grows” (The Message translation of Jer. 17:5-6). Looking for happiness in a political leader that promises to bring change is false hope. The living water of the Lord Jesus Christ is our hope. You and your spiritual life are the true hope for America. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/american-tumbleweeds-f12886

God is aware of what’s going on in this country and in the world. Nobody’s going to get away with anything. God sees everything and no one is going to escape His justice. “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him” (2 Chron 16:9). The divide we see in America has been created by the neglect of God’s design and failure to submit to what God teaches on divine viewpoint thinking and divine establishment. The justice of God will not let us self-destruct without giving us discipline and a chance to wake up. “They sit before you as My people. They hear your words but they do not do them for with their mouth they show a lot of love but with their heart, they pursue their own gain” (Ezek 33:31). Hypocrites. We’ve had every opportunity to glorify God to the maximum but the more prosperity we get, the deeper we slide into sin and degradation. If you have been subject to injustice, take it to the Supreme Court of Heaven and let God’s justice handle it.Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/justice-god-253c33
