Rescue Radio With Marjorie Cole

There more than six wars described in the Bible that will occur in the "latter days." To many these would appear to be those days. The major concern would be how far will this war in Israel spread and how long will it last? Is this World War III? For sure we know, this is not a war we can ignore. This war is our business and may involve us more personally than the many foreign wars we have watched from the safety of our living rooms in the past. Is this the war described in Ezekiel 38-39, which may be the same wars described in Psalm 83 and Psalm 110? Is it the the Battle of Armageddon described in Revelation 16 and 19? Israel is a central player in God's agenda for the closing events in this age. God clearly tells us that in the Ezekiel war, God will put a hook in the jaw of Israel's enemies.  He is about to draw them down into the conflict to cause the world to know that He is God.

How do I know if I need deliverance? The false gospels preach getting rid of our sin which obscures power of the gospel of grace and good news. Getting rid of our sin and not realizing it is the demon that is tempting us to sin flips the focus on us and off of the demonic activities that are going on inside of us. Why would I sabotage my life by doing the things I am fervently trying to stop? Paul takes a serious look at what is going on in himself and used his own struggle to teach us what Jesus was warning us about in his teaching on the stronger man coming against us to take over our house. Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee.  Checkout "Cravings" on the Life Recovery Store. "Because There Is A War For Your Soul"  www.liferecovery.com

Who has bewitched you, Paul asks. Jesus tells us deception will be one of the overarching themes of the last days. Perilous times will come, where men are lovers of lies as they give heed to seducing spirits. Satan is taking the sacred truth of God's Word and switching the meanings of words, doctrines and the application of God's Word to generate confusion and division in the Body of Christ. Many false prophets and angels of light are now populating the deliverance scene to counterfeit the true signs and wonders given by the Holy Spirit. Because the church has been so strongly attacked with the false gospels and the fake shepherds and under the spell of the spirit of stupor for so long we have lost our ability to discern the real from the false. The enemy is capitalizing on our ignorance to infest our ranks with the lying signs and wonders that will eventually deceive, if possible, even the very elect.  Checkout the Life Recovery Store.

Knowing who I am comes from knowing that I am known by God. Jesus called people by name, even before He officially had met them. Jesus would stop, stand still, listen to their cries, go to their dying children, have compassion on them, heal and deliver them, prophesy over them. He cares about each one of us individually.

Everything has rules, including Spiritual Warfare. We set out the first principles of this war last week. There are two Kingdoms, NOT three. There is one Rule. That rule is Romans 6:16, whom you yield yourself servant to obey, that’s whose slave you become. It all really reduced down to whose report are you believing, what God said, or what the devil makes it look like that intimidates us and causes our faith in the promises of God to waver. Obedience becomes the demonstration of our faith in the promises of God. Obedience and surrender to the Lord by trusting in His goodness to deliver us and provide for us becomes the place of the battle. Believing what God says as opposed to us being redefined by doing what the devil tempts us to believe which causes us to do that which is contrary to faith becomes the tipping point for defeat or victory.

We are in a war and the war operates on rules. There are mathematical principles that govern this war. There is one war, which implies there are two kingdoms, God’s and Satan’s, not three. There is one equation that manages the outcomes of our spiritual life. Satan has two objectives, one target and one rule. We need to understand the operating principles of this war to be wise and victorious. "Because There Is A War For Your Soul"  www.liferecovery.com

We are laborers together with God. He planned salvation to be a joint effort. He would supply the Plan and make sure all things would end up being judged according to truth. Jesus was the Savior Who initiated the Plan and reopened the portal for us to be reconciled back to the Father and to our true identity. Then comes us, the ones who are called to bring the good news of salvation to others. We have been called to work in the harvest field of souls as  Ambassadors from the Kingdom of God to reconcile men back to the truth of who God is and who we are. God has included us in His Plan. He has given us a privileged place of investing our lives back into the Kingdom of God. God has made Himself vulnerable to us believing in Him and His love in order for His Plan to work. This is amazing! Most people completely miss this opportunity to labor together with the Father and the Son to bring in the Harvest and defeat the devil once and for all! Look all around you, the work, the harvest is all around you, ripe and re

We are in the days of perplexity. Things are weird and seem to come out of "no where." But the Word says, the curse without a cause does not come. Pr. 26:2 There are reasons, rules and deliverance from the lies that have locked you and your generations into patterns of disease, tragedy and every kind of physical and mental torment. Jesus said the truth will set us free if we Abide in His Word. Jn. 8:32 So what could be the cause of this curse? Is it something I did or an agreement I made with the Enemy? We know three things about perplexing afflictions. First, they are not an accident or a coincidence. Second, they are the fruit of believing lies. Third, we can know the truth and hear the voice of the Holy Spirit - He can show us what is going on and what to do. We are inviting you to email your Perplexing Afflictions to us at mcole@liferecovery.com. We will discuss them and pray for healings as part of our Rescue Radio Podcasts.    Check out "A Case For Healing" at the Life Recovery Store. "Because There Is

Jesus shared the parable of the Sower and the Soil. Parables are used to “reveal” and “conceal”. Only those with eyes to see and ears to hear would benefit from its message. He warned that the birds (AKA the devil, the Evil One, Satan) would come to try and snatch, eat up, and take away the life-giving Word of God. The nature of the soil plays a pivotal role in the yield of the harvest. Without care, the seed can be lost. Satan is patient, waiting for the right moment. He recognizes the immense value God places on the Harvest. Check out the Life Recovery Store. "Because There Is A War For Your Soul"  www.liferecovery.com

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.” Jesus was moved with compassion. The Harvest is His heart and the very reason He left Heaven. The Evil One has tried to destroy everything, every sacred life, every hope of life through pain and oppression and lies. Jesus came to set the captives free and heal the broken hearted and bring in the precious Harvest of souls. He commissioned us and equipped us to follow Him and help Him in this life or death search and rescue operation. We cannot make this about us. This is about them and their eternal destiny.

Jesus warned us in the last days to not be deceived. Many would come in His name and deceive many. The curse of false teachers and wolves among His sheep is nothing new. Satan's target has always been the church and the people coming out of darkness. Paul warned of these counterfeit versions of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how false apostles, deceitful workers, even as Satan transforming himself into an angel of light. These false prophets were coming into the midst of the flock posing - as if sent by and in behalf of God. What is our protection from such end days treachery? You shall know, discern who they are, by their fruit. Discernment is not the same as judging. "Because There Is A War For Your Soul"  www.liferecovery.com

Modern day struggles with wickedness and injustice in the war between God and Satan for the souls of men is not any different. We see the hand of God in these spiritual disruptions that have saved the human race on many occasions. At some divine moment, God shows up and intervenes, usually long after we have given up and allowed the reality and visible appearance of things rule over the divine plan of God. When God disrupts your life, it is only for your ultimate good, because He is good. You can reap the benefits of what seems like a disruption by allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you into changing your course through obedience to Him.

So now we are “Following Jesus.” We believe what He said, now we can do what He did! What does that look like? What is the fruit of doing what He did? Miracles, praying, healings, bringing hope and the good news to others - good things. It also looks like suffering, imprisonments for the sake of the Gospel, being hated, misunderstood and rejected. Following Him looks like admitting when we are wrong and standing our ground when we know the truth. It looks like forgiving one another. It looks like being persecuted for righteousness and laying down our lives that others can live and be saved. Doing what Jesus did can only happen if you know Who He is and Believe what He said!!!

Jesus said "follow Me". What does that actually mean in practical spiritual terms? Lots of opinions, books, and schools of theology have tried to extract the essences and deeper meaning out of those two little words. It is really very simple, so simple a child can do it. Just believe what He said and do what He did. For starters, we really do not believe that we are new creatures and that old things have passed away and that there is now therefore not condemnation to those who are in Christ. We are still trying to be good enough to follow Jesus. There is a difference between “following Him and trying to follow Him.

Fear and anxiety are on every side and yet Jesus tells us to be anxious for nothing. How do we obey His command to be “anxious for nothing” when fear is on every hand? God is our ever present help in times of trouble. He is with us. He loves us therefore we have nothing to fear. But do we really focus on love when every possible stream of information tries to stir up fear and trouble and bad news? Check out the Life Recovery Store.

Demons gain control over us through incremental agreements. They do not just show up and jump into us. The permissions they need must come through invitation of the host (us). Many of these permissions have already been given by our ancestors who have made deals with them and failed to close the doors that were opened through repentance and forgiveness. This makes the next generation an easy target for generational curses of sickness, evil and calamity. Check out "Diagnosing You Family Tree" at the Life Recovery Store.

The lost book of Enoch gives us the backstory on the primal origin of the demons and lays a deeper foundation for the things we are told in the Scripture. Knowing our enemy is the first step to taking authority over the enemy. Jesus gave us the authority to deal with demons because they need to be dealt with.  "Because There Is A War For Your Soul"  www.liferecovery.com

Jesus laid out the overview for His disciples as to what they could expect in following Him. The course would be filled with obstacles. Just as the gospel was going to be resisted, they, as the carriers of the Gospel would also be falsely  accused as He had been and some would even die. The key was to endure to the end. The Promise was that He would confess them before His Father in Heaven. We, as His disciples, are a part of the greatest thing on earth, and greater than anything the world has to offer, fame or riches, or the esteem of men. But it will be worth it all when we see Jesus and the celebration begins! Checkout "God On Trial" on the Life Recovery Store. "Because There Is A War For Your Soul"  www.liferecovery.com

Jesus called the twelve disciples and gave them power to deal with disease and demons. The briefing also included an overview of the persecution, the strategy for bringing the message of the gospel, the types of resistance, the divisiveness of the Enemy and the need to endure to the end. It was not going to be easy. They would kill Him and He wanted to prepare His disciples for what they would also experience. Family division, hostility, court appearances, and even death. Except for the advanced technology, nothing in the spiritual arena of war has changed much except now there in no where to hide. We still have the same power and the same message and the same dangers they had. We are all together in this with Jesus Christ Who is our Fearless Leader, King and Captain.  Checkout "A Case For Justice" at the Life Recovery Store.

What was He thinking? Didn't He know all the bad things that were going to happen in carrying out His plan to save the world? Yes, He already knew the world would degenerate into darkness and depravity. He knew He would have to give some of them up to uncleanness. He knew about the war and that the church would be mixed with error and deception. He knew we would all be lost and need to be found. None of this shocks Him. The message is still the same. His Word is still relevant and we still have the same opportunities to follow Him and experience His love and power as those who lived before us. He has given us the map, the Word of God. It will lead us out of this mess and into the fulness of His promises if we continue to follow Him. Check out God On Trial at the Life Recovery Store.
