We Want To Hear From YOU!Before asking God to change the fruit, ask Him to reveal what's feeding it.Before asking Him to fix what's visible, ask Him to uncover what's hidden.Before asking Him to change your circumstances, ask Him to show you whatever is feeding the fear, frustration, bitterness, compromise, or discouragement beneath the surface.Because when God changes the source, the fruit begins to change as well.Maybe that's why these two Scriptures connect so powerfully.1 Kings 2:19 reminds us that we have access to the King.2 Kings 2:19 reminds us to bring Him the real problem.Not just the symptoms.The source.Not merely the fruit.What's feeding it.So today, don't just complain about the fruit you're seeing.Ask yourself a deeper question:What's feeding you?Because what feeds you will eventually form you.And whatever forms you will eventually be revealed through you.Have a blessed day.Closing Song: What's Feeding You? - written & produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!Today, before blaming the devil, blaming people, blaming circumstances, or blaming yesterday, ask yourself:"What part of this belongs to me?"  That question may sting for a moment, but it will also set you free. Because accountability is not punishment.  Accountability is the doorway to transformation. The devil may present his plate with candles, pie, and fancy decorations. But God's table always serves something the enemy can never provide: Truth, peace, purpose, and life.Choose wisely. The plate may look simpler, but the outcome is infinitely better. Have a blessed day, and remember: Mature believers don't spend their lives explaining their behavior. They spend their lives examining their behavior and owning their missteps. And that examination is often where God releases the next level of anointing. Again, be blessed.Closing Song:  This One's On Me written and produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!We live in a culture where people are often pressured to compromise their values for acceptance, position, relationship,  influence, popularity, opportunity and let’s be real cold hard cash. The pressure may look different than it did in Esther's day, but it's still pressure.Sometimes obeying God will cost you a promotion.Sometimes standing on principle costs you friendships.Sometimes refusing to compromise means missing out on something everyone else is chasing.Closing Song: "More Than A Crown" - written and produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!Today, I want to talk to you briefly about not your name but your brand, your methodology, and your individual marketing campaigns.  See because God is looking for some brands He can use to promote His Kingdom.We live in a culture where we give accolades based solely on a name solely on the methodology used to promote a brand.But I have a few questions for you this morning:Why are we so enthralled by brand names?Why is it a designer can sell us on wearing their brand?Why do we not allow our own name to hold a significant weightWhy do we allow our brand to be defined by someone else’s name?I don’t know if you know the story of Micah in the bible.  If you say you do I must ask? Which Micah are you referring to? See because there were several Micahs in the bible, I am going to tell you about the two who are spoken about in detailFirst, let me tell you the name  Micah means “who is like Jehovah?” The first Micah is described in  Judges 17—18. He lived during the time when Israel had no king and “every man did what was right in his own eyes” no…. Nothing but the Word of God.Micah is one example, among many, of the lawlessness that dominated Israel during this time  The people had abandoned God, chasing idols like the pagan nations around them and incorporating many aspects of idol worship into their worship of the Almighty God. They refused to obey the Lord, but since they did not yet have a king, every person did as he pleased, with no immediate repercussions. Micah’s everyday lifestyle exemplified the spiritual attitude of the people at that time. He worshipped idols, he even hired his only private priest and they proclaimed his actions to be godly.  “You shall not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath. You shall not bow down to them or worship them” (Exodus 20:4–5).God’s commandments were forgotten as Micah and his household followed their own ideas of worship, totally contrary to those prescribed Word of God.The second significant Micah is a stark contrast to the idolatrous Micah.  And we can read about him in the book of the Bible named after him. One of the most renowned verses in the book of Micah is Micah 6:8  “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God”  This Micah was a prophet of God.  This  Micah reminds us that, despite God’s zero tolerance toward our sin, He is also ready and waiting to forgive and restore those who repent. Even in the midst of strong warnings to Judah, Micah boasts of the hope of God.   The entire book of Micah is a complex mixture of judgment and hope. On the one hand, the prophecies announce judgment upon Israel for social evils, corrupt leadership, and idolatry. On the other hand, the book proclaims not merely the restoration of the nation, but the transformation and exaltation of Israel and Jerusalem.  Micah,  one name, but two totally different men. Our fallacy is not in our name and there is no fallacy in the wearing of designer names, the problem is exalting another’s brand and another’s persona higher than your own, while not making Jesus whose name is above all names a priority in your life.Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!Some biblical accounts such as those detailing speaking animals, the parting of bodies of water, and various other miracles, tend to fuel thoughts of the Bible being full of fables and fairytales.   Thoughts and measures of disbelief come easy when one doesn't believe in GOD or whose mind cannot phantom a truly Almighty GOD.  Let’s address some of the biblical accounts people tend to struggle with.  First, there is Eve’s conversation with the serpent.  We may find it hard to believe that a serpent could talk and, in a language, a human could comprehend.   What actually should be more important to us than the actual speaking of the serpent is the lesson which is that we should always be mindful that Satan who possesses the character of a snake, comes prepared, relatable, and speaks our language.   Satan is a user. When a person is demon-possessed Satan will speak through them.  Satan will use whoever and whatever will serve his purpose. Today he is more likely to use another human, but in the Garden of Eden there was no other human for him to use just Adam and Eve, so Satan used what was available and the snake was available. The account of Eve and the serpent, by no means, suggests that snakes were ever of the intellect that would have enabled them to speak coherently.  Bible scholars agree, that Satan was speaking through the snake and not the snake itself speaking on its own. This consensus is derived from the fact that there was no reason for any “uninfluenced”, GOD-created creature to seek to deceive or destroy another, so any plan of deceit or destruction had to be the workings of Satan.  Now in the story of Balaam’s donkey speaking to him, scriptures are clear, and bears witness to the power of GOD, as it reads “the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth”, Numbers 22:28. GOD using the donkey to talk also lets us know Satan does not have access to do or use anything GOD does not have access to use or do, for Satan is not greater than GOD.   Satan used a serpent to talk for him and GOD chose a donkey.  The moral of the accounts of the speaking animals in the Bible is that deliverance and deception can come out and through anything or anyone.  Therefore, it is important we know the Word of GOD, so we can discern the voice of GOD and not be deceived and ultimately destroyed by the agenda and manipulation of the enemy. The second most questioned event in the Bible is the parting of the Red Sea.  The Washington Post released an article alluding that the parting of the Red Sea, “in real life” would have been explained as a "weather event”.  The article provides an analysis comparing the biblical account to what is scientifically referred to as a “wind set down”.  A “wind set down” involves strong winds, over 60 miles per hour, which creates a “push” of coastal waters, in turn creating a storm surge, which is known to blow harbors completely dry.  The article concluded, that the parting of the Red Sea would have been possible in extreme weather conditions, in “real life”, but is “iffy” in biblical times because man cannot explain the timing which aligns with Moses holding out his staff (Exodus 14:21-31).    Science seems to be willing to give GOD a little credit for His ability to control nature, but at the same time, limit the extent of His power and His timing, based solely on only what the human mind can perceive.  “With man this is impossible, but with GOD all things are possible”, Matthew 19:26. The parting of the Red Sea is the single greatest act of salvation in the Old Testament and represents GOD’s ultimate saving power and shows the depth and extent GOD will go through to save us. Closing Songs:  "Take A Look And See" and "Worth More Than A Million" Written and produced by Deborah Ocasio, available on Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Pandora, Sound Cloud and more.Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!Let’s kickstart the day by drawing inspiration from one of the Bible’s shortest but most profound letters written by Paul, outlined in Philemon, a book of the Bible that only has one chapter. It’s a story of forgiveness, reconciliation, and what happens when grace enters the room.Picture this: Onesimus (O NESS A MUS), a runaway slave with a sketchy track record, under God’s divine covering, guilty as he can be, ends up in jail with Paul, God’s anointed, serving time for spreading and defending the gospel. Now, when Onesimus meets Paul, instead of getting a lecture or a life sentence, he gets grace. Paul's grace leads Onesimus to salvation, and then Paul ends up vouching for him, advocating for him, and helping turn his mess into a fresh start.closing song: Amazing Grace (Live) by Aretha FranklinSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!When we operate independently of GOD’s principles we create our own gods intentionally or unintentionally, as we establish our own "truths",  which fall contrary to the mandates and will of GOD. We live in a society where “GOD”, is utilized for such things as Christenings, invocations, and benedictions, while we remain distant from Him concerning everything in between. We pray to GOD when things aren't going our way, worship Him as long as things are going our way, but really don't trust Him enough to live according to His principles. We, like Eve, are deceived by Satan (Genesis 3:4) into thinking GOD is perhaps withholding from us assets that could better our existence and life experience.We worship pagan gods; false religions, cults, celebrities, material things, immoral acts, independent truths, and even self. None of these gods are new, as references to them are mentioned all throughout Old and New Testament scriptures.   As believers, our allegiance and alliance should be to the One true GOD, The Alpha, and Omega, The One who is The Beginning and The End, The Creator of all things.GOD in His consistency is also triune in the nature of His character as He is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient.Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!Yes, we are still talking about the mind… because it’s just that important. The mind is the staple, the engine, the glue, and the navigation system steering the direction of your life. Before your hands move, your mind decides. Before your mouth speaks, your mind processes. Before your life changes, your thinking changes.Some of us are asking God to change our circumstances while refusing to confront our perspectives. But the truth is, many battles are not happening around us, they are happening within us. In our thoughts. In our assumptions. In our biases. In our fears. In our wounded perspectives.Because as a man thinketh in his heart… so is he.Closing Song: Walking Through The MindSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!Day in and day out, I hear people talk about their goals, desires, and dreams, which are usually followed by comments of defeat.  Things like if I had this, or knew this one, or if I was better at this, or if I could do this then I could…And the kicker statement is… I have been just praying for a miracle, praying God opens some doors or releases his favor on me.Winners don’t pacify defeat; winners are not just dreamers; winners are more than talk.  Winners are doers.  A winning athlete understands the hard work it takes to secure a win and the determination and focus required to be declared a champion.Ecclesiastes 5:33 A dream comes with much business and a fool's voice with many words. In other words, stop talking about your dreams and complaining about your inability to fulfill them. Fulfilled dreams require that you be about your business, begin working on them, make the sacrifices, and elevate your level of determination.I talk to people every day who have dreams of owning their own business, but they profess to need more start-up capital to move forward.  And guess what? They live and embrace that excuse, and guess what? They will likely die never owning that business and fulfilling their dream.  Why? Because they accepted defeat.Sometimes our biggest enemy is our dreams.  Why do I say that? Because we have envisioned exactly how we think everything should play out. We envision success but never plug in the plan for obstacles, never pull in the plan that includes the what if and the stumbling blocks. And because we dream big, we think we have to have all the finances intact, and we don’t put enough thought into downsizing our dream to get it off the ground.Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU! The question is no longer whether Jesus split time.History already answered that.The question is:Has He split your life?Where is the dividing line between:who you used to be,and who God is calling you to become?Where is the split between:flesh and surrender,religion and relationship,performance and transformation,darkness and light,your plans and God’s will?Because one day every clock will stop ticking. Every calendar will close. Every trend will fade. Every title will disappear. Every earthly accomplishment will eventually become somebody else’s obituary paragraph.And when eternity stands before us, nobody will care:how many followers we had,how much money we made,what car we drove,or how many people knew our name.The only thing that will matter is:Did you know Him?Not just know church. Not just know religion. Not just know scriptures intellectually.But did you truly know Jesus?Because Christianity is not merely about Jesus splitting history. It is about Jesus transforming hearts.And if He can split time… He can certainly split you free from:sin,pride,fear,bondage,confusion,and the person you were never created to remain.So today, don’t just study the timeline… submit to the Savior who stands in the center of it.Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!Separation of church and state, is one of the most misunderstood quotes of our time. Many of the moral and civic principles woven into modern laws did not appear out of thin air. While governments and legal systems are not the same as the Kingdom of God, many laws that protect human dignity, fairness, accountability, and justice reflect biblical principles that have echoed through civilizations for centuries.What is fascinating is that Scripture often introduced principles long before societies institutionalized them. And many of these principles are cyclical in nature—meaning humanity repeatedly drifts away from them, suffers the consequences, then rediscovers the wisdom behind them again.Closing Song: Separation Mutes Sanctification - written and produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!Proverbs 8 gives wisdom a voice, here is a excerpt of the very voice of wisdom….Wisdom starts off telling us that it dwells with prudence or better known to us as common sense.  To all folks, common sense is not common, which is why wisdom is so important and to others, they have wisdom and knowledge but lack prudence or common sense, Wisdom continues by telling us that it also possesses knowledge and discretion, which in some situations THE LACK THERE OFF can prove detrimental to not just the body but the soul.True wisdom is a friend of the Lord as it hates evil, pride, arrogance, and perverse speech. Wisdom exalts counsel and sound judgment for in these two one will find insight and power.Wisdom is such a jewel it has crowned Kings and IS an ESSENTIAL COMPONENT IN LAWMAKING. Wisdom has made a vow to love those who love and seek him.  Wisdom wants to enter into a lucrative relationship with each of us as it has found the key to secure riches and honor along with enduring wealth and prosperity.If you have never formally been introduced to wisdom, I strongly suggest you get to know him, for being friends with him will take you places you never imagined and open doors you never knew existed.  The bible is an excellent place to get to know Wisdom as there are 5 books dedicated to him and him alone they are the Book of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon.Don’t take wisdom for granted, get to know Him, he is an excellent friend to have. Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!As we honor mothers this morning, I want to talk briefly about The Mothering of a Mother.  Today’s message is from 2 Kings 4:1-7.Let me set the scene of the times.  This story happened during a time when the law of the land dictated that a creditor could enslave his debtor and his children to pay off debts owed.Verse 1 reads, “The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant, my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.”Because the scriptures don’t mention that her husband died enslaved, he was likely making payments to this creditor to pay off what he owed.  But his creditor likely heard of her husband’s death and decided to take advantage of the law, which said they could enslave her children to pay off her husband's debt.Right off the bat, we know this woman was a real mother,  she wasn’t having it.  No one was going to take her children from her, let alone compromise their freedom and subject them to who knows what.  This woman went into “true mommy mode.”Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!I don’t think many of us have ever taken the time to think about how truly powerful our minds are.  Did you know the  human brain is so powerful that some intelligent computers called neural networks are patterned after how the human brain works.For every thought you have, a surge of electrical currents from your brain release an unknown number of neuro-chemicals, responsible for the operation of your nervous system. With every thought and with every electrical current in your brain, your body responds like a world-class conductor leading a famous orchestra, with everything working in unison with your heart, every organ,  and every muscle performing their role with precision.Your brain is the control center of your very being.  Did you know concentrating on pain that occurs in your body sends electrical currents through your brand that continues producing pain.If you focus on negativity, your brain will begin to operate dissecting everything from a negative perspective.  We all know at least one person in our lives who seems to always have a negative perspective on everything, and it's because they have flipped their brain switch to filter everything that enters their brand through a filter of negativity.On the other hand we sometimes struggle with breaking our norms, embracing new perspectives or learning something new that upsets what we have programmed in our brainiac computers. The reason why is because learning something new requires considerable energy and our undivided attention.Energy and attention have been programmed to allow the world to manipulate and formulate. So we don’t vet situations, our actions and reactions, or our attitudes to align with the will of God because that would require our brain, our very being to embrace something unfamiliar, to flip the switch.As believers we are charged to vet, to examine, to align everything we do, everything we engage in and everything that is put before us using the Word of God as our measuring rod.This is referred to as using spiritual discernment.The word discern means “to distinguish, to separate out by diligent search, to examine.” Spiritual discernment is the ability to properly distinguish or make determinations based on NOT our spirit but  the spirit of God. Spiritual discernment is  related to wisdom. My grandmother used to refer to it as a combination of common sense and the Holy Spirit.Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!Go forth, laugh a little, love a lot, and know that even the tiniest act of kindness can flip the switch on someone else’s darkness. Be blessed, and walk boldly with a smile and peace of Christ in your heart! I say to each of you who know God called you to be light - shine!CLOSING SONG:  This Little Light of Mine by Danell Daymon and the choir group of Greater WorksSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!If someone were to read your life like a book, they’d notice something powerful. Every chapter that should’ve ended in defeat kept turning into survival. Every page soaked in tears somehow still carried hope. And right in the margins—where explanations ran out— there He was.Holding you together when you were unraveling. Covering you when you didn’t even know how to pray. Lifting you when the fall should’ve finished you.You didn’t just make it through— You were carried through.Closing song: Jesus Is The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me by James ClevelandSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!From the beginning, everything God created was connected.Light touches darknessWater feeds the earthTrees sustain lungs they’ll never meetAnd then there’s you.You thought you were just living life… God says you’re impacting lives.“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” — Matthew 5:14Notice—He didn’t say “try to be light.” He said you are.That means when you declared, “I believe in God,” you didn’t just claim faith… you stepped into function.Closing Song: "The Domino Effect In Me" written and produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU! Emotions are beautiful… until they start running the show.  God gave us emotions, but He never gave them the position of authority.Before we act like emotions are the enemy, let’s remember something: God Himself expresses emotion.Jesus wept (John 11:35)Jesus felt compassion for the crowd (Matthew 9:36)God expresses righteous anger (Psalm 7:11)So no—feeling deeply is not your flaw. It’s evidence you were made in His image.Emotions are the alert system of the soul. They let you know something matters.Joy says, “This is good.” Grief says, “This was valuable.” Anger says, “Something is out of order.”That’s the gift.Closing Song: Lord, Anchor My Feelings - written and produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!I may be telling my age but anybody out there remembers The Flip Wilson Show, he had a saying  “The devil made me do it!”. It seems it is always easier to blame someone else for our wrongs, for being irresponsible, for even being greedy and unkind to one another.  We blame fast-food restaurants for making us fat. We blame tobacco companies for giving us cancer. We blame the church for our lack of spiritual growth.  We blame other people’s ways for our attitude.We live in a culture where blaming others for our failures is popular. But how does God view the blame game? Could it be a form of idolatry where our feelings of pride are elevated above any sense of responsibility?We expect blame-shifting from a child, good parents stress to their children not to blame others for their actions, because we want them to know that they are the ultimate controller of their actions and reactions.You all remember the question our mothers asked when we tried to shift the blame on someone else for us following up with foolishness.  “If your friend jumps off the bridge are you going to jump too?  We would drop our heads with a pitiful “no”.  And  I know my mother’s response was.  “then don’t tell me about so and so, I want to know why you did what you know was wrong”.Sadly, the evidence is in, we failed in learning that lesson from our mothers because so many adults never grow to mental and emotional maturity and still blame others for their mistakes”It is a generational curse that goes back to the beginning of man, yes blaming others is an inherited sin.  Adam, Eve, Aaron Moses, and King Saul  all have suffered from the plague of blaming othersThey all blamed someone else for their sin and never took personal responsibility for their action. Let's see. When sin made its entrance and God confronted Adam (Genesis 3:12-13), Adam replied, "The woman you put here with me - she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it." And in her defense Eve replied, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent.  The verdict proclaimed by humanity was that everything that went wrong in the Garden of Eden was someone else's fault. Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!Before you lace up and run headfirst into today, pause.Let me remind you of something wild and wonderful: You’re built like a cheetah. Not in stripes or spots, but in purpose, precision, and power that knows its limit.You see, the cheetah is the fastest land animal alive. It doesn’t run just because it can, it runs when purpose says “now.” It doesn’t chase every rabbit, every rustle, or every rumor in the grass. It waits. It watches. It paces itself.Closing Song: "Intentional" by Travis GreeneSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!We’ve been conditioned to believe:If you don’t agree with me, you don’t love me. And if you love me, you should agree with me.But that’s not love. That’s ego… dressed up as loyalty.Because if agreement was the standard for love, then God would have to stop loving us every time we got it wrong.And we know that’s not true.Closing Song: Love Ain't Agreement - written and produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!With a renewed mind, a renewed faith, and a renewed proclamation that declares, “I want to live like I believe.” This is a proclamation if embrace will change all aspects of your faith and your prayers. Be blessedClosing Song: Live Like I Believe - Produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We Want To Hear From YOU!We wake up with agendas. Checklists. Obligations.  Deadlines.“Got to do this…” “Got to handle that…” “Let me just get through today…”And in the middle of all that doing… we forget that God didn’t just call us to complete tasks— He called us to touch lives.Closing Song - "Pause & Bless" Written and Produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org
