The Power of Pausing: Learning from Jesus' Example

Grace and peace, everybody. Welcome back to Soteriah Prophetic Ministries. Today, we explore the profound lesson of pausing to process, as demonstrated by Jesus. In moments of conflict, Jesus often took a moment to reflect before responding, showcasing emotional intelligence and spiritual maturity.

Drawing from the story of the woman caught in adultery, we see how Jesus' deliberate pause allowed Him to provide a wise and compassionate response. This episode delves into the importance of taking time to think, pray, and seek clarity before making decisions or offering counsel.

We also discuss the value of critical thinking and the necessity of stepping back to avoid hasty reactions that can lead to regret. By looking at biblical examples like Ezekiel and Jeremiah, we learn the significance of evaluating situations thoroughly before responding.

Join us as we uncover the wisdom in pausing to process and how it can lead to more thoughtful, impactful decisions in our daily lives and leadership roles. And consider becoming a partner by contributing to the ministry.

Understanding Witchcraft: Biblical Insights and Protection for Believers

Grace and peace. God bless you. This is Soteria Prophetic Ministries. In this episode, we delve into the topic of witchcraft and its impact on believers. Many Christians feel they are under attack or cursed, and this message aims to address those concerns with biblical understanding.

We start by examining Proverbs 26:2, which teaches that a curse does not come without a cause. As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we cannot be cursed by witches. Our spiritual authority changes when we accept Jesus as our Lord, making it impossible for the enemy to curse us without cause.

The episode explains what a curse is and discusses the concept of 'charismatic witches' in the church. These individuals, who may have once walked with the Lord, open themselves up to evil spirits by breaking fellowship. We emphasize the importance of maintaining deliverance and the role of a strong spiritual community in this process.

We also explore biblical examples, such as Balaam and Balak, and discuss how curses can manifest through sin and disobedience. The importance of discernment and being cautious about who we allow into our lives is highlighted, along with the need to guard against both intentional and unintentional harm from others.

Finally, we encourage believers to remain strong in their faith, maintain a disciplined prayer life, and seek God's wisdom and guidance. We are reminded that, as children of God, we have the power to overcome any attacks and should not live in fear of witchcraft.

The Danger of an Attention-Seeking Spirit

Learn about the significance of pure motives, the dangers of hypocrisy, and the need for accountability. Reflect on the importance of seeking God's approval over man's and the wisdom the Holy Spirit provides in discerning deceitful behaviors.

Join us as we uncover the lessons from this sobering biblical account and understand how to walk in integrity and truth, ensuring our actions align with God's will.

Five Signs of Your Calling as a Minister of the Lord Jesus Christ

God bless you, grace and peace. Welcome back to Soteria Prophetic Ministries. In this episode, we explore the evidence of your call as a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ through five key signs.

First, we discuss the importance of being sent and the burden to see souls saved. Drawing from Matthew 1:21, we highlight the significance of being mantled with the mission to preach the gospel and minister salvation. This calling drives you to share the Word of God and testify of His goodness.

Next, we delve into the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, which sets you apart in your ministry. Based on Mark 1:22, we examine how true authority manifests in your prayers, preaching, and overall ministry, bringing signs, wonders, and divine confirmation.

The third sign is the anointing of the Holy Spirit, as outlined in Luke 4:18-19. This anointing empowers you to preach the gospel, heal the brokenhearted, and bring deliverance. We emphasize the multifaceted nature of this anointing and its role in your boldness and effectiveness as a minister.

We then explore the gift of prophecy, which allows you to hear and speak forth God's Word. Using the example of Jesus and the woman at the well, we illustrate how the spirit of prophecy can reveal hidden truths and bring healing to those you minister to.

Finally, we discuss the evangelistic mantle that accompanies your calling. This burden to see people saved and draw them to Christ is a hallmark of your ministry. We encourage you to use every opportunity and platform to minister and lead others to salvation.

We pray that this message has been a blessing to you and look forward to sharing more insights at the next appointed time.

The Power of Appointing the Right Leaders

Grace and peace. God bless you. It has been such a long time since I've had the opportunity to speak to you all and just share what is on the heart, on the Lord's heart for His people. I am done with grad school, praise the Lord, so I can now turn my attention to the ministering of the Word. Amen. I'm so grateful.

On my heart tonight, as I was pondering and meditating in the Holy Scriptures, I want to share with you something I read out of Acts chapter 6, verses 1 through 7. I'm not going to read it in its entirety, but that's where I'm coming from. It talks about the early church when there was dissension among the widows. As the church grew and disciples multiplied, there arose contention between the Greek and Hebrew widows, who felt neglected.

The apostles recognized that they could not neglect the Word of God to serve tables. They decided to appoint seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, to oversee this business. This decision pleased the multitude, and they chose Stephen and others, whom the apostles laid hands on and prayed for.

This story highlights the importance of church leaders remaining focused on studying and ministering the Word, and being in prayer. When leaders are in a position to hear God and make good decisions, they can raise up and release the next set of leaders effectively. The appointed leaders must possess honesty, be filled with the Holy Spirit, and operate in wisdom.

Think about the decisions you've made in your personal life, business, or ministry. Have you appointed people who lack honesty, wisdom, or the Holy Spirit? The fallout from such decisions can lead to wounded people and division. It's crucial to pay attention to who is being appointed and why, ensuring they meet the qualifications of honesty, filled with the Holy Spirit, and wisdom.

When these attributes are present, it brings security, comfort, and confidence to the people, knowing they can trust those appointed leaders. Misalignment in these areas can lead to issues and challenges, but when we operate in the fullness of the Holy Spirit, we align with God's vision.

In summary, as your ministry grows, appointing the right people is essential to avoid neglect and ensure the work of God is done effectively. I pray this exhortation has been a blessing and has prompted you to reflect on your appointments and service. God bless.
