  • Can Demons Disrupt Your Prayers?
    2024/11/06

    The devil really really doesn’t want you to listen to today’s episode. Because this is going to blow the door wide open on one of Satan’s schemes that he uses to try and make us ineffective as Christians. But, I’ll also tell you how to overcome it.

    Last year, one of my pastor friends who was preaching through the book of Daniel and came across the strange story in chapter 10. And he commented that he didn’t know how he was going to teach it.

    And I was like, “what you do mean, how you’re going to teach it? You just teach it. You read what it says and make sure everyone understand it.”

    But I understand what he meant. Daniel 10 is weird. It deals with something we don’t hear about a lot in the spiritual realm.

    But just because we don’t hear about it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen every day. It’s a weird thing to us, but a totally normal thing in the spirit.

    In Daniel 10, it says that demons and fallen angels actually have a way to stop our prayers. That God can even hear our prayers, send an answer, and that Satan can stop it before the answer comes to us. Believe it or not, that’s something that devils can interfere with.

    I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible.

    Turn to Daniel 10, and let’s get weird.

  • A Ghost Story in the Bible: Saul and the Witch of En Dor
    2024/10/30

    It was a dark and moonless night when King Saul, cloaked in fear and despair, wandered the desolate wilderness of Mount Gilboa. His once-mighty heart had grown heavy, for the Lord had turned silent—no dreams, no prophets, no answers. His enemies, the Philistines, loomed at his doorstep, and without divine guidance, Saul felt utterly forsaken.

    Desperation drove the king to a forbidden path, one he had condemned in years past. He had ordered all the mediums and spiritists to be cast out of Israel, for the Lord forbade such practices. But now, Saul himself sought a medium—a woman who dwelled in the shadowed village of En Dor — known to whisper with the dead.

    Did you know the Bible has a ghost story? Saul visits a woman known as a medium or a necromancer. A practice forbidden in Old Testament law, and still to this day. In fact, in the Old Testament, doing this resulted in the death penalty.

    You might say, “now ghosts aren’t real. Once you die, you go to heaven or hell. You can’t drop back in and grab a cup of coffee with the living.”

    And yet, as you’ll hear in a few minutes, Saul’s plan seems to work, and the ghost of a long-dead prophet is brought up from the grave.

    Or is it all a demonic trick?

    I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible.

    Turn to I Samuel 28, and let’s get weird.


    0:00 - The Ghost of En Dor

    5:45 - Real or Fake?

    9:30 - Was it Actually Saul? Or a Demon?

  • Territorial Spirits (and the Deuteronomy 32 Worldview)
    2024/10/23

    I’ve been doing this podcast for about a year now and I can’t believe I haven’t done an episode about this yet.

    Today, we’re going to be talking about territorial spirits. And that phrase refers to the fact that spirits are assigned to certain sectors of the earth.

    Many Bible-readers aren’t aware of this little tidbit about how the spiritual realm works, and you may question whether this is in the Bible.

    In fact, it’s ALL THROUGH the Bible. We just encountered one place last week when we were studying the demoniac of Mark 5. This was the guy who had a “Legion” of demons within him, and Jesus ends up casting the demons into the pigs.

    What’s really strange, though, is a request from the demons not to be sent out of that territory. This was a spiritually dark place known as the Gadarenes- or some translations may say the Gerasenes.

    Mark 5:10 said

    And he [and this is the demon-possessed man] begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country.

    In other words, the demoniac begged Jesus earnestly not to send the demons out of the country.

    Why were the demons so intent on staying within this location?

    I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible.

    Turn to Genesis 11, and let’s get weird.


    0:00 - Introduction

    1:45 - The Deuteronomy 32 Worldview

    10:00 - The Rest of the Bible

    13:00 - Next Time and Mailbag

    14:44 - Closing Thoughts
