For those who reject following God, when do they actually arrive in hell? Do they arrive right away, or does it happen later? The book of Revelation lays out a series of events that happen at the end of the world, and the answer of when someone arrives in hell might surprise you. Tune into this episode of Village Church Digital with Pastor Michael Fuelling and Pastor Ryan Chaney to find out.  Chapters (00:00:00) - When Do People Go To Hell?(00:00:49) - Where Is Hell?(00:01:26) - Revelation 20: The World Ends, The Beast Is Jud(00:05:44) - The Rapture: A Controversy in the Church

Hell is real, and two things happen in hell - those who arrive there will feel the full weight of God's furious judgment, and experience eternal torment and separation from God. There is a physical, emotional, and relational experience someone will go through while in hell, and it is incredibly painful, causing weeping and gnashing of teeth. As Christians, the more we learn about hell, the more we are driven to take action to bring the Gospel to as many people as possible, so they can enter into a relationship with Jesus and avoid the torments of hell.

The thought of hell and what Scriptures teach about it is sometimes unpalatable to both Christians and non-Christians alike. Spoiler alert: hell is real, and the Bible is very clear about it. Learn more about hell, who goes there, and what it may look like, based on what the Bible says.

Have you ever wondered what happens one minute after you die? Spoiler alert: you'll either be overwhelmed with joy, or overcome with terror. We make a decision about our eternal life before we die. When our body and soul are separated, your soul goes to either a place of suffering or paradise. If you have rejected Jesus, when you die, you will spend eternity in a place of suffering. But if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will spend eternity with him in paradise. 

Can Satan use a believer to accomplish his purposes? Absolutely. Believers can get sucked into ideas and beliefs, whether specific causes, political beliefs, thought patterns, or other ideas, that are demonic in nature. The apostle Paul even warns about this in 2 Timothy chapter 2. This is why knowing God's Word and being able to discern His voice is critical, especially in an era where there is so much deception.

There is no Biblical evidence that Satan can hear your thoughts, but he is very cunning and uses well-tested tricks and deceptions to get you to sin. Just because he can influence you, that doesn't mean you need to be a victim to his tactics. 

Angels have multiple functions, and God created them to accomplish his will, most of which is in the spiritual realm. In Scripture, we see humans encounter angels in they physical realm as well, as God sends them to tend to His people or deliver his messages. 

There are seven things Scriptures tell us leave us vulnerable to demonic attack. Some of these things are not necessarily bad things, in fact, some of them are positive. But some of them are flat-out inviting demonic influence in your life. What behaviors should you make sure you're avoiding?

Satan is intent to attack anything that reflects God's nature or the Gospel. Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy." This is Satan's character. So what is he most likely to attack? Listen in to hear the 7 things the Scriptures point to that draw the most demonic attacks. 

Different religious traditions have different beliefs on the types of angels that exist. But what does the Bible say? Just like the rest of His creation, God instills different authority levels within the spiritual realm, including with angels. 

Are guardian angels real? Do you have a guardian angel watching out for you right now? The Bible has a few things to say about guardian angels, and it's not what you might think.  Chapters (00:00:00) - Do People Have Guardian Angels?(00:03:37) - God's Angelic Ministry-

The Nephilim are a high curiosity topic in the Bible that drive a lot of questions and even conspiracy theories. Nephilim are mentioned in Genesis as the offspring of the "sons of God and the daughters of men" - basically demons who impregnate women. They were so evil and vile that it led to God destroying every single human on the planet. Want to learn more about the Nephilim? Look no further than this episode of Village Church Digital with Pastor Michael Fuelling and Pastor Ryan Chaney.

Influence is different than demonic attack. It's quieter. It's demonic designs, schemes, and traps that trick you into sinning, getting you to justify behaviors or believe you won't get caught. How can you tell if you're being influenced by demonic spirits, and how do you repel demonic spirits? 

What is actually happening, why is it happening, and who is pulling the strings? The spiritual gift of discernment of spirits allows a Christian to have God-given wisdom to answer these questions and more. Listen to Pastor Michael Fuelling and Pastor Ryan Chaney discuss how you can discern if the spirit at play is the Holy Spirit, the spirit of the flesh, or a demonic spirit. #spiritualwarfare #spiritualgrowth #podcast #christianliving #spiritualgrowth #interview #devotional
