The Truth Proclaimed Podcast

*“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” 
Fear is a perpetual enemy for many believers and non-believers. However, God has given us a remedy and prescription for overcoming fear. According to Psalm 34:4, we are encouraged to seek the Lord for deliverance from fear. Knowing God has provided a cure for whatever our affliction is.

God has given us power to tread and trample upon Serpents. He has promised that we would tread on the Lion and the Adder. We must fight against The Jebusite spirit of Trampling that seeks to trample our confidence, joy, love, and prosperity. As we enter this 12th month we understand that 12 is the number in scripture that denotes government and authority(12 apostles, 12 tribes). 

“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”
King James Version (KJV)
We need the light of God to shine in our hearts and give us a path of singlemindedness. Doublemindedness is the effect of brokenness and rejection. But as we allow the light of the word of God to shine in our hearts and as we learn how to become skillful in proclaiming his word amidst temptation, we will find our walk with God becoming more and more illuminated with every passing day. it is time to increase. It is the season to grow more and more, stronger and stronger each day.

We are in a new series: The War for Territory!
Just like Israel entered the promised land that was filled with enemies they had to evict. So the believer enters the promise land of salvation and must dispossess every spiritual enemy that takes up residence in our heart mind and soul!
Remember that you are Israel and that the spirit of the living God is at war against the enemies within us. Don’t think that you are not saved because you are in a struggle or you are battling with an addiction. We are in a war for territory and the territory is the precious space within our soul!

When life happens how do we as Christians respond? Do we run from God when we experience trauma, dissapointment or hurt? No matter how life seems to injury us we should rest comfortably in the hands of God. In God's hands there is no trauma too great, no pain too hurtful and no failure too low for God to reshape, reform and renew! 

Criminal justice reform, the disproportinate number of African Americans that are currently incarcerated and over policed communitiess are not just a secular issue but an issue of justice. The Truth is that God is concerned about equity, equality, and fairness. Leigh Owens is the executive director of the Penn Franchise Project: a newly formed organization aimed at ushering in a regime of grace, and equity in disenfranchised communites with regards to the criminal justice system.

How does a person change course in life when it is beyond their physical, emotional, and mental power to do so? The Apostle Paul was not always a servant of Jesus Christ but was a persecutor of the church that caused many Christians to be imprisioned and killed for following Jesus. 
How do we explain such a dramatic change of course. Paul had a supernatural experience on a road called Demascus where he was on his way to capture more Christians.
In order to break addiction, destructive behavior and a harmful rebellious lifestyle, we need what I call a Demascus experience. 
Listen as we break down Paul's experience on the road of Demasucs and make application to our situation's today.

In this episode of the Truth Proclaimed Podcast, Aaron Owens speaks to us from Psalm 38.  The Psalmist is confessing sin to God in the most sincerest manner possible. Could it be that many of the deep issues we are dealing with internally, as a people, a community, a country and a world stem from rebellion against our loving God. 
Rebellion brings on the anger of God because we rebel against God when we refuse his help. Prayer, confession and repentence will bring about a change in our mentality but we must give God a sincere prayer. Have you tried various methods and solutions to remedy your tumultuous state of mind? Have you yet experienced the power of a sincere prayer?

Timothy Veal JUNIOR is a gifted musician, an anointed praise leader, a minister of the gospel and a dear friend of mine. Tim has pastored in Plano Texas at one of the largest predominantly African American churches in the Country, One Community Church. Tim was raised in the Philadelphia area, the son of a local Pastor. His experiences as a minister in the small local church, to his administrative work in Apostolic/ Pentecostal organizations and movements as well as his pastoring experience at a mega church prompted me to sit down with him to discuss the topic of the latest episode of the Truth Proclaimed Podcast.
Maybe there have been questions that you have had about the church overall and how it functions, or concerns about how it has functioned. Quite possibly you are one that is disgruntled with the church by what you have seen demonstrated by those that claim to be representatives of it. 

I want you to listen to my conversations with Tim Veal Jr. We don’t try to sugarcoat things but we wanted to get a candid survey of the state of the church and at the same time speak to those that have walked away that you would maybe take a second look.

What is the Naboth Principle?
Injustice, deceit, falsehood, murder and subjugation against God’s inheritance or those seeking to honor and preserve God’s inheritance is a crime that God does not let go unpunished. The Righteousness of God demands that he Judge injustice and misuse of power on behalf of those that have had their inheritance stripped from them by means of corruption. July 4 1776 marks the beginning of American freedom but the continuation of American slavery. Does God care about the injustices of the past? God sent Elijah to rebuke King Ahab in defense of Naboth but will God rebuke the racist power structure in defense of the Negro?

Leigh, despite all of the opportunites afforded him at a young age he as a freshman at Drexel University found himself incarcerated in one of the roughest prisons in the country Rikers Island. Leigh overcame a felony conviction to build a career path that is nothing short of amazing.

The blessed hope described by the Apostle Paul in scripture is the great privelage that seperates the church from the world. The world has no sustaining transcending hope but the church has a hope that is eternal. Because of the ressurection of Jesus Christ, The church of God has a goal and a hope that goes beyond anything this world can offer. It is time for the church time become once again spiritual minded and look to the blessed hope of ultimate redemption.

In this Episode of the Truth Proclaimed Podcast, Aaron Owens Discusses the recent comments made by HBO host Bill Maher equating the capitol riots as a prime example of why faith and religion is wrong. Aaron breaks down his argument and reveals that those who hate Christ and his teaching will always seek an opportunity to slander it. Owens shows how this example of Maher attempting to relate horriffic events to Christian believers has a historic precedence as well. The great Fire of Rome in A.D. 64 is a similar situation where Nero, Emperor of Rome tried to defer the blame of the Fire's of Rome from himself to innocent Christians. This initiated a great period of persecution for the Faithful of Jesus Christ. Are we as Christians in Western culture prepared for the shifting of popular opinion away from Pro Faith to the anti-faith, humanistic worlwview that we are heading towards?

This real life account could not have been scripted better by a prolific movie producer, but is a real life story that teacher us the power of redemption that is lived out in all those that meet Christ. The death burial and ressurection story of Jesus Christ is testified by all those true believers that live out that process in their own lives. This is a ressurection story of Christ-like follower of our Lord and savior. Listen to a tesimony that cannot be refuted by any theory, world view or dogma!

In this turbulent political climate of time, we discover through the scriptures Jesus viewpoint of government. As we study the mind of Christ we should glean from it a proper prespective that can be applied to our current political atmosphere. As the principalities of Fear, Chaos, and Confusion envelope our country and world, we must apply the spiritual principles that Jesus employed when he said' Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar and unto God that which is God. Let us give God what he wants in this season!

There is so much misinformation out there today about what people think Jesus believed and thought. I think it is a good time now to discuss current issues in society and see what Jesus thought about them as expressed in his teachings. In light of the social unrest and racial inequaility that has been front and center in our community, media and world, I am now asking, " What did Jesus think about equality? Is it right for a christian to get out in        front in the fight for equality? Was inequality something that Jesus addressed or even had to deal with?Let us discover what Jesus thought about this sensitive issue facing our world today!
