Hi guys, welcome back to another episode of God's Reporter Podcast. I'm your host, David Truma, and it's so glad to be with y'all again. I just want to apologize for being out so long. I had a long battle with vertigo. If you know what vertigo is, it can be pretty bad. Dizzy spells, nausea, can't stand up. It was just one right after the other for the last two weeks or so. But by the grace of God and the love of Jesus, he helped me through it, and we're gonna we're getting back on track and going to start serving the risen king again. Amen. So let's get started with a prayer. And if you have a prayer request, or if you want someone to pray with you, or you have a Bible question, or you'd like to uh have your testimony played on the podcast, I'll give you all that contact information at the end of the episode. So stick around for that. But first of all, let's pray. Father God, we love you so much, and we thank you for giving us another day. We thank you for the many blessings that you give us, Lord. We thank you for all that you do for us, Lord. We thank you. I thank you for my listeners, Lord. I thank you for them listening every week and sharing these podcasts with other with friends and family through their social media and helping this podcast to grow to glorify your name, Lord. I pray that you will help the help my listeners with their struggles or difficulties or whatever they may be going through right now. You know what it is, and that's all that matters, Father. I pray for the countries that are at war right now. I pray for Iran, Israel, Ukraine, and Russia. I pray for the United States as well. I pray for all the innocent victims of these countries, Lord. I pray that the leaders of these countries will come together and find a peaceful solution to these problems they're having. Father, I pray for the families of the six military people that were killed last week in in the Israel-Iran war. I pray that you will give their families comfort and peace, Lord, and help them through this difficult time. Father, I pray for the United States the President of the United States that he can get this country back on track, get this country back to one nation under God as it started out being, and it should be again. Father, I pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Before we get started, though, I want to take tell you again about the uh Bible minute ministry that we've got going on right now. I'm giving away the New Living Translation uh New Believers Bible. It's a great starter Bible for anyone who's just become saved and just becoming a new Christian or someone that's been one for a while and like to brush up and kind of understand what what they need to be doing. Uh it's a free Bible, no cost to you whatsoever. All you have to do is email it has to be through email only. Just email me with Bible offer in the subject matter, subject line, and then just give me your first and last name and your shipping address, and I'll put it right in the mail to you, and it'll get there as soon as possible. But there's no charge to you at all for this Bible. It's free of charge and make a great present or a great starter Bible for someone if that you know. Um, but I'll give you that email address at the end of the episode, so stick around for that as well. Um so I'm gonna tell you a story when we get started. Um there was a father and his son, and it was at nighttime, around bedtime, and the father was going down the hall toward his bedroom, but he saw that his son's bedroom light was still on. So he went into his bedroom, his son's bedroom, and saw him sitting there on the bed, and um said it son, isn't it about time for you to get into bed? He said, Yes, sir, but I would like for you to keep the light on tonight if you don't mind. He said, Why is that? He said, Because of the demons. The father said, What demons? There's just people talking about demons coming around and I don't I really don't want to be afraid of them anymore. I wish you would pray for me that the that the that the fear I have of demons will go away. His father said, No, I'm not I'm not gonna pray that for you, son. What I am gonna pray though is that the demons become afraid of you. And that's how we have to be. We have to make Satan and the demons afraid of us. We are warriors for Christ, we are soldiers of God, we are followers of Jesus. We have to make Satan and those demons afraid of us. See Matthew chapter 4, verses 10 and 11, when Jesus was up in the woods for 40 days, and it was about at the end time Satan had tempted him numerous times, over three times, and he finally said, Satan, go away. You don't belong here. He said, The scripture says that we sh will follow the Lord God with all our hearts and only him. And he said, So you go away, Satan. Satan went away and the and the angels came and started tending to Jesus as he came out of the woods. That's how we have to be. We when we get tempted by Satan, when we get into dark situations, we need to tell those demons to go away in Jesus' name. You see, demons are and Satan are afraid of Jesus, dead deathly afraid of Jesus, so so afraid that they won't they won't even um they won't even say his name. So if you tell the demons in Jesus' name I command you to go away, then they have to go away and they will. Um but there's very a lot of different kinds of demons out there. You see alcohol is a demon, drugs are it is a demon. Um depression can be a demon. Uh pornography can be a demon. Uh sexual immorality is a demon. There's many, many, many different kinds of of uh demons out there that can disguise themselves as as a sin. But when we get tempted by all these things, in Jesus' name, rebuke those rebuke those temptations, rebuke those demons, rebuke Satan and make them go away. You stand tall with scripture, continue to read your Bible and learn that scripture, learn God's word, continue to pray, continue to stay in prayer, go to church, but stay connected to Jesus. Could stay connected to that Holy Spirit. That's the only way to be. That's the only way to keep those demons away from you. If you are saved by the blood of Christ, they can't have your soul. But they can torment you while you're on earth if you let them. But you cannot let them tempt you and and torment you and aggravate you to death because they will whenever they get the chance. You see, it took me four times before I got this equipment to work tonight. Satan did not want me to say tell him this message. He does not want me to tell you how to fear him how to make him fear you, I mean. The demons and Satan must fear you. The stronger your faith is in Jesus, the more fear they have in you. Scripture says we must decrease so he can increase. We have to let Jesus shine through us. Wherever we go, whatever we do, the first thing people need to see when they see us is Jesus. Let Jesus into your life and let him rule over you and there'll be no room for demons or de or Satan and he can't touch you. Jesus loves you with all his heart. Do you know what Satan is? He is an angel reject. The demons are angel rejects. God threw Satan and his demon angels out of heaven and to to the pits of hell as fast as a lightning strike. A split second. He didn't waste any time doing it. So that's how we have to be. We have to send them back to hell and don't waste any time doing it. Rebuke them in the name of Jesus. I want you to know Jesus knows what you're going through. And he can help you with those temptations. Satan tempted Jesus three times to try to get him to he was so hungry in those woods. So hungry. Satan tried to get him to turn a l stone into a loaf of bread or turn dirty water into wine so he could drink it. But he wouldn't do it. His faith was too strong. And our faith must be strong to fight the Satan and demons. Satan is already lost, he just hasn't figured it out yet. Either he hasn't figured it out or he knows and he's taking as many people with him as he can. Don't make s don't let Satan take you with him. Not when you've got a perfectly you've got a choice you can take to be with Jesus in heaven when the time comes. Just give your heart and life life to him. It's really easy. With all your heart, believe in him. Ask forgiveness for your sins. Tell him you love him with all your heart and ask him to come into your life and accept him as your Lord and Savior and let the transformation begin. And I've got that perfect Bible just for you.
