Perilous Times
from The Gospel on the Radio Broadcast Saturday Edition by Pastor Jack King of Tallahassee, Florida · host Jack King
Drawing from 2 Timothy 3, Pastor Jack King paints a stark picture of "perilous times," a phrase he believes accurately describes our modern world. He argues that a societal push against God has opened the door for a return of demonic forces, a pattern seen throughout history in periods of spiritual decline. King links this spiritual darkness to the visible increase in violence, crime, and a profound lack of natural affection that he observes in society. To combat this spiritual darkness, Pastor King offers a message of hope, rooted in the power of the Holy Spirit and the authority given to believers. He makes several key points: -- Spiritual Revelation is Found in Christ: Pastor King highlights the story of Nicodemus, who came to Jesus seeking to understand miracles. Jesus' response—"You must be born again"—was a revelation that true power and understanding of the miraculous are not carnal but spiritual. This spiritual rebirth opens our eyes to the things of God and is the only way to transform a heart hardened by sin. -- A Bold Church is Needed for Revival: King states that revival happens when individuals are transformed by the Gospel. The church's role is to be bold in proclaiming the Word of God, even if it offends people, because a temporary offense can lead to eternal salvation. -- The Church Has Prevailing Power: Although the enemy comes "like a roaring lion," Pastor King reminds listeners that he is a chained lion with limited power. Believers, on the other hand, have "all-prevailing power" through Christ. The challenge is that the church often fails to realize and exercise this authority. -- Hatred is a Mark of Defilement: The message concludes by referencing Titus 1:15, "Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled." Pastor King links this spiritual defilement to the hatred and cruelty seen in the world, arguing that those who commit such acts do not love themselves.

What this episode covers
"The church has to become bold, but we also have to become serious, because we realize that our power does not come from ourselves." - Pastor Jack King In this episode of "Perilous Times," Pastor Jack King examines the biblical prophecy of the end times, which he argues is a reflection of the society we see today. He connects historical periods of spiritual darkness—from the time of Eli to the era of Ahab and even the days before Christ's first coming—to our present-day society, where violence, hatred, and a lack of natural affection are rampant. Citing the Apostle Paul's words in 2 Timothy, Pastor King asserts that these are indeed "perilous times" and emphasizes that the church's response must not be one of fear, but of boldness, faith, and a renewed understanding of spiritual authority. ******* By the way, if you haven't bought a copy of my new book yet, check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/Dreams-Visions-Stories-Faith-Pastor/dp/161493536X
