THE SOUL REFUGE PODCAST

Did you know that BILLIONS of people throughout the world are still living in spiritual darkness? Did you know that God's plan to RESCUE them from an eternity in HELL was through the FOOLISHNESS of preaching?

Back in March of 2022 the present Pope Francis consecrated ALL humanity to the Immaculate heart of Mary. Take the time to watch this video as I examine the Pope's Catholic teachings with the scriptures!

What on earth was Jesus talking about? How can the dead bury their dead?

Jesus Christ always honored the scriptures, the Word of God, and he spoke prophetically when he spoke of his death and resurrection! The Tomb is still empty and Jesus prophesied that he would be KILLED and that he would rise again on the third day. There is ZERO hope for salvation and Heaven without FAITH in the only one who conquered SIN and DEATH for mankind!

The day that many Christians celebrate which is known aa "Palm Sunday" is actually a FULFILLMENT of a Biblical prophecy about King Jesus riding into Jerusalem. Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

One thing that many people forget is that the Holy Spirit is known as the Spirit of Truth. He cannot LIE because HE is part of the eternal triune Godhead and God cannot LIE! So in this video I show you why the Holy Spirit of Truth CANNOT endorse the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church!

The Gospel of John began with us learning about the DEITY of Jesus Christ and how he created ALL things (John 1:1-3. 10-14). Now here we are in the last chapter and we find Jesus Christ throwing a barbecue for his followers! How cool is that!

Thomas was one of the original disciples who was not with the others when the RISEN Lord Jesus Christ came to visit them. The other disciples told Thomas that they had SEEN the RISEN Christ but he did NOT believe them! He told them that he would believe it when he saw it. He said that he wanted to stick his fingers into the holes in his hand, and thrust his hand into the side of Christ before he actually believed it! Eight days after Thomas spoke those words the RISEN Lord Jesus Christ went right to Thomas and told him to do exactly what he said that he wanted to do! Thomas saw Jesus and said "MY LORD AND MY GOD" because he actually SAW the RISEN Jesus Christ with his very own eyes!

An incredible PROPHECY can be found in the Old Testament book of Zechariah in the 12th chapter and verse 10. It says the following: Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon ME whom they have PIERCED, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. That was a PROPHECY of the death of Jesus Christ upon the cross! The person who was talking in that PROPHECY in the book of Zechariah was none other than JEHOVAH! Does that mean that Jesus Christ and JEHOVAH are one and the same person? Absolutely YES!

The first part of the greatest event in human history took place on the cross where Jesus Christ was slain on the cross or the sins of the world! The second part is when Christ rose from the dead! Right before He died Jesus cried out "IT IS FINISHED"The greek word for the word FINISHED is TELEO and TETELESTAI in the perfect tense. That word means accomplished, finished, complete, make an end etc . . . You get the idea. In other words Jesus Christ completed the mission that he came to do right there on the cross! Any person can come to Jesus Christ for mercy and be SAVED for REAL if they truly desire salvation! There are no more sacrifices for SINS because Jesus Christ already PAID the price in FULL at the cross with His BLOOD! Romans 5:6-10 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. [7] For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. [10] For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

In this video we find Jesus Christ along with His disciples in the garden on the night before He was crucified. Two miracles took place in the garden that night! The first miracle was when we saw the awesome display of POWER when the Lord said the words "I AM" and a band of men ALL fell backward at the same time! There were literally hundreds of men that were bowled over like bowling pins (including Judas) when Jesus Christ the great "I AM" spoke those words. (See also Exodus 3:13-14, John 8:58) Jesus could have KILLED every one of those men by the way if he wanted to, but he was looking forward to the CROSS, so that wretches like me and you might be SAVED! The second miracle happened after Peter took a swing at a man named Malchus and he cut off the man's ear! Jesus then told Peter to put the sword back in it's sheath and then he HEALED the man's ear! WHAT???? That is totally awesome, but then again Jesus Christ is TOTALLY AWESOME with everything that he does!

There is a movement known as the John 17 Movement which was started by a Pentecostal minister by the name of Joe Tosini. Mr Tosini believed that the Lord told him to seek unity among Christians, (including Roman Catholics) and he used the verse from John 17:21 to back up his mission. As a former Roman Catholic, I know that the Lord saved my wretched soul out of that dark and demonic system over 32 years ago, and there is absolutely NO WAY that any true born-again believer would want to be in UNITY with them at all. In this video I show you the reasons why you should avoid joining with Rome at any cost!

Jesus Christ taught his followers about being one with Him. True Christians who have been born again of the Spirit of the LIVING God are part of that beautiful fellowship with God. In this video I also warn about the "John 17 movement" which promotes UNITY with the Roman Catholic Church.

The Lord Jesus Christ promised the believers that He would return to the Father, and that He would send them the COMFORTER! Who on earth is the COMFORTER? The COMFORTER is the Holy Spirit and he is also called the Spirit of TRUTH! The Holy Spirit will ALWAYS glorify Jesus Christ and guide the believers into ALL truth!

This is a message from 2020. If you have never listened to it, I encourage you to listen to it. If you have already listened to it. Listen to it again! Have you ever wondered how the church of Rome can preach a counterfeit gospel for so long with such little resistance? That is what the “mystery of iniquity” is all about. It is a mystery to many, but it is not a “mystery” to Almighty God. In fact the scriptures tell us that GOD is the one who sends the “strong delusion” that people should believe a LIE. Why would Almighty God do that? The words “strong delusion” are translated from the Greek words energeia (strong) and plane (delusion). The Greek word energeia is where we get the word energy from, and it means “a strong effectual working.” The Greek word “plane” means fraudulence, to deceive, delusion, or error. So in plain and simple english it means a strong effectual working of delusion, error or fraudulence. The scriptures tell us that GOD is the one who sends this strong effectual working of fraudulence, and the scriptures also give us the reason that God does it. It is so that people will believe a LIE, because they did not have a LOVE of the TRUTH! Plain and simple it is a judgment sent from God Almighty upon all people who do not desire the TRUTH which is found in him alone. God simply allows the rebellious to eat the FRUIT of their own ways! “Therefore shall they EAT of the fruit of THEIR OWN WAY, and be filled with their own devices.” Proverbs 1:31

Jesus Christ spoke metaphorically when he said that HE was the TRUE vine. Jesus also said that WE (the believers) were the branches. The Lord was simply showing us that the spiritual LIFE that we need is found in HIM! He was talking about the Spirit of God within us. Every person who has been truly born again of The Spirit is part of the TRUE vine which is Jesus Christ Himself![BIBLE STUDY 21

We are certainly living in perilous times ladies and gentlemen. Pope Francis has made deep inroads into the modern day church and he follows in the footsteps of other Popes such as Pope John Paul II. Pope Francis is talking the same "We are brothers" lingo as Pope John Paul when he spoke those words to the famous evangelist Billy Graham! Do not be fooled and do not let your guard down any further than you already have!

Jesus Christ did not mince words whenever he spoke to the people. In this chapter Jesus made it clear that HE was the only way to the Father's House, and we know that He was talking about Heaven! John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

It is simply mind-boggling that the Church of Rome teaches that they have the power to change the bread and wine on their Catholic altars into Jesus Christ HIMSELF! You may find that hard to believe BUT that is exactly what they teach, and if YOU do not believe that lie, then you are under one of their over 100 anathemas (curses) instituted at the Council of Trent. Those curses were UPHELD by the RCC Second Vatican Council of 1964-65! In other words they are still in effect. It is even MORE amazing that the modern day "Christian" leaders and "famous" Christian preachers now work hand-in-hand with the same church that martyred multitudes for standing against that false teaching! They UNIFY with a religious system that curses the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ!

As a former Roman Catholic I know what it was like to be in BONDAGE to a counterfeit religious system which is led by a man who claims to be the "Holy Father." Once again I can testify by the Spirit of the living God, that it was the TRUTH of God's Word that set me FREE! He will set you FREE also if in fact you are still a Roman Catholic! Hallelujah!

One of the greatest deceptions in the world is the Catholic teaching of that make-believe place called Purgatory! As a former Roman Catholic I would make a donation (pay for) a Catholic Mass card so that a Catholic priest might offer up the "sacrifice of the Mass" for a DEAD friend or relative who might be in Purgatory! Did you know that they still pray for former Popes whom they believe might still be in Purgatory? Here is the TRUTH about all of this stuff. There is NO Purgatory! When a person dies they either end up in Heaven or they end up in Hell!

Here is a short video regarding the Roman Catholic people and their prayers to Mother Mary. I prayed thousands of "Hail Mary's" for many years UNTIL the Lord Jesus Christ set me FREE from the bondage of the Roman Catholic Church!

I was baptized as an infant shortly after I was born into this world but I did not become a child of God until I was truly born again of the Spirit in 1989! The Roman Catholic teaching that an infant is "born again" and becomes a "child of God" when they are baptized by a Catholic priest is a FALSE teaching! In fact if you get baptized as an adult that does NOT save you either! I was SAVED before I went down into the Baptismal pool and I gave my testimony before my full immersion in water. I thank God for his mercy toward me! John 3:6-8 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. [8] The wind bloweth where it listeth [wishes], and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

The Church of Rome which is better known as the Roman Catholic Church is a church that is filled with idolatry. You should not be surprised that they REMOVED the real Second Commandment (Exodus 20:4-6) from their Catechism and replaced it with the Third Commandment, which dealt with using the Lord's Name in vain. So how did they make up for that missing Commandment? They took the Tenth Commandment which dealt with covetousness (Exodus 20:17) and chopped it in half to make the 9th and 10th Commandments. Do not be FOOLED by that religious system who still makes the claim that THEY are the only TRUE church!

Here is a short video regarding the counterfeit teaching of the Roman Catholic Mass. I attended tons of Catholic Masses for years, and I was an altar boy as a young man also. I had no idea that I was lost and on my way to HELL until the Lord Jesus Christ rescued me from that false religious system!

What would you do if you were attending a modern day Ecumenical meeting along with the Roman Catholics and the Priest who was speaking told you to open up to the book of Tobit? What if the priest told you to open up to the book of Baruch or Judith or Susanna? What? Well all of those books are found inside the Roman Catholic Bible in a section known as the Apocrypha. The Second Book of Maccabees was a book from the Apocrypha used to defend the Catholic teaching of Purgatory! Do not be FOOLED my dear brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ! The call for UNITY with the Church of Rome was birthed from the lowest part of Hell! Stick with the scriptures which are found in the 66 books of the Bible, preferably the KJV!

Many people do not realize that Jesus Christ HIMSELF was the ULTIMATE Passover sacrificial "Lamb of God," and it was no coincidence that Christ was slain at the time of the Passover feast! The Jewish people would inspect the lambs so that they might be UNBLEMISHED. Jesus Christ was also inspected but the authorities including the Jewish High Priest could NOT find fault in him. Why? Because Jesus was the UNBLEMISHED "Lamb of God" whom Judas betrayed for 30 pieces of silver!

When a person decides to study the Word of God (the Scriptures) they will find many precious nuggets of spiritual GOLD! There are tons of prophecies in the Old Testament that were FULFILLED in the very person of Jesus Christ! One of those prophecies from the book of Isaiah can be found in chapter six (Isaiah 6:1-13) where the prophet Isaiah saw the Lord sitting on the throne! He saw the Holiness of Almighty God, and we find that prophecy FULFILLED in the New Testament book of John chapter 12:41. Be blessed my friends!

In this chapter we learn about the AWESOME miracle that Jesus performed when he raised Lazarus from the dead. Lazarus was dead for four days before Jesus raised that man from the dead. The religious Jewish leaders did not know what to do at that point in time, so they called a Council. The Jewish High Priest along with the other religious leaders counseled together at that point in time to put Jesus Christ to death!

In this study Jesus Christ makes it abundantly CLEAR that HE is the Door of Salvation and there is none other. He also makes it clear that HE is the GOOD shepherd who would give HIS life for the sheep! There is only ONE good shepherd who gave his life for the sheep, and we know that it is Jesus Christ himself!

During the time of the Protestant Reformation there were many Christians who were persecuted, tortured and put to death for standing against the teachings and the FALSE gospel of the Roman Catholic Church. That same Catholic Church still teaches the very same things in our modern day that they did back then. Did the Protestant reformers seek to have UNITY with the Church of Rome back then? Of course not and that is why the Church of Rome came against them, and killed multitudes of them also. So if the Church of Rome is still preaching the same damnable heresies, why are the leaders in the modern day church joining in UNITY with them?

The spiritual battle continued between the religious Jewish people and the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus healed another man on the Sabbath day and the Jewish leaders were not happy at all. They repeatedly questioned the man who was previously blind, and they questioned his parents also. They did not believe Jesus to be sent from God because he did a miracle on the Sabbath day, but they did not realize that he WAS God in the flesh! After Jesus told the formerly blind man that he was the Son of God, the man worshipped him! Jesus Christ did NOT refuse or reject that man's worship of him!

The Christmas "fuzzies" have arrived and the public images of the little goo-goo baby Jesus are ready to appear everywhere. I remember receiving many Christmas cards in earlier years with an image of "Mother Mary" holding a little baby Jesus in her arms. I also remember seeing many manger scenes with a little baby Jesus lying in a manger. They are still around today but I do not see as many as before. For many people who never crack open the cover of a Bible that mental image of "Jesus" is all they know. That is why it is important to know the scriptures for yourself and to learn about the REAL Jesus Christ!

When a person understands from the HEART and in the SPIRIT that Jesus Christ is ETERNAL, and that he was sent down from HEAVEN above, then and ONLY THEN will they understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ! That is why Jesus told the religious Jewish leaders of his own time in this world that he was NOT of this world!

When you take a look at the "gospel" of Romanism, you will find that it is NOT the same gospel which was preached by the original followers of Jesus Christ! In this video I share many scripture passages to expose the false teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. As a former Roman Catholic I can testify once again, that it was the TRUTH which set me FREE! Satan is the one who is behind the FALSE teachings of Rome, and he is a very CRAFTY spiritual being who seeks to DECEIVE everyone! Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

The great controversy continues between Jesus the Messiah and the Jewish religious crowd who did NOT believe in Him. The Jews sought to kill him and Jesus even confronted them about that! Jesus also made it known to the Jewish people that they could have the LIVING waters flowing out of their INWARD parts IF they would believe in Him.

When a person hears the preaching of the Gospel, or reads the scriptures and the message concerning Jesus Christ they have the opportunity to get saved. Salvation does not come by ingesting the Roman Catholic Eucharist during the sacrifice of the Mass! Jesus actually spoke the following words: John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:67-68 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? [68] Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

The well known Archbishop John Hughes made it clear that the aim of the Roman Catholic Church was to convert EVERYBODY, including Pagans and Protestants. Former Pope Benedict restated the policy of the Church of Rome in declaring that the Catholic Church was the ONLY true church. Pope Benedict made it explicitly CLEAR that the Protestant denominations were NOT true churches! Tune in to this video for more . . .

Jesus Christ did some awesome miracles when he walked this earth, including the times when he multiplied a few loaves and fishes to feed thousands. As good and powerful as that miracle was, the Lord wanted his followers to be more interested in the TRUE spiritual food which is found in HIM and HIS words!

The Roman Catholic Church teaches that their "sacrifice of the Mass" is the same sacrifice as the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross! The only difference is that it is done sacramentally on their altars in an "un-bloody" manner. They believe that the "sacrifice" of the Mass is a propitiatory sacrifice, and that it SATISFIES the justice of God for sins committed against him. Does the Bible teach those things? How can we know if those things are true or not? Tune in for the answers to this e questions.

The Scriptures are power-packed with different prophecies concerning Jesus Christ. Those prophecies can be found throughout the Old Testament and they found their FULFILLMENT in Jesus Christ. When Jesus arrived on the scene though the Jewish people for the most part despised him and rejected him. That included the rulers and leaders of the Jews including the chief priests also.

I thank God for saving my soul, and I thank God for his precious word, the TRUTH which set me free. I want you to see why Jesus Christ is against the Pope and the Church of Rome. I want to let you know without a doubt that I was on my way to Hell before I was truly saved and born again of the Spirit. I bring forth these teachings because there are literally millions of Roman Catholic people who are still on that same "broad road to destruction" that I was on. Have a blessed day!

Jesus Christ, the Son of God was known to have performed many miracles on the Sabbath day, and many of the religious Jewish people were not happy with that at all. How unhappy were they? They wanted to kill him! Different words such as "destroy him" "kill him" or "slay him" are used in the King James Bible BUT they all mean the same thing. The sooner that Jesus Christ was removed from the earth the better it would be. They did NOT believe him to be the Son pf God, Lord or the promised Messiah either. Tune in if you are interested in hearing Biblical truth!

A 5X married Gentile woman who was shacking up with a guy met Jesus one day, and he told HER about HER current and past relationships. The woman was startled and perceived HIM to be a prophet. Jesus Christ then REVEALED himself to that woman as the MESSIAH. She then took off and returned to her home town to tell the men in town about HIM! They returned to meet Jesus and quickly realized that everything she told them about Jesus was TRUE! John 4:39-42 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did. [40] So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. [41] And many more believed because of his own word; [42] And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ [MESSIAH], the Saviour of the world.

There is only ONE Messiah of Israel and his name is Jesus Christ! In fact the word CHRIST means Messiah! In this teaching today we learn about a Gentile woman who met Jesus at a well. After conversing with Jesus for a short while the woman learned that Jesus knew everything about her, including the fact that she had been married 5 times already and that she was living with a man who was not her husband! Tune in for the rest of the story . . .

When a person searches the scriptures, it does not take too long before they realize that many of the things which are taught in the Roman Catholic Church, are nowhere to be found in the Bible. As a former Roman Catholic I can testify to you today that it was the truth of God's Word that set me FREE from the FALSE teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.

John the Baptist completed the great "handoff" in his preparation for the coming MESSIAH! The prophecies concerning John the Baptist were FULFILLED to the very letter including the one that said "Elijah" was coming. When Jesus Christ arrived on the scene the prophecies were FULFILLED which prophesied his coming. Jesus also made it clear that John (the Baptist) was the "Elijah" whom the prophet Malachi declared would come. It is totally awesome how the Old Testament flows beautifully into the New Testament. The Bridegroom is Jesus Christ and the church (both Jewish and Gentile believers) are the Bride! Hallelujah!

Being Born Again is a SPIRITUAL Birth which takes place within the heart of the individual. It is in contrast to your physical birth (or birth in the FLESH) which Jesus Christ spoke about. This SPIRITUAL birth is an absolute NECESSITY if you want to ENTER the Kingdom of God, and ultimately HEAVEN one day!

In this second chapter of the gospel of John we find Jesus Christ turning water into wine, and thus manifesting forth his Glory. Jesus rebuked his earthly mother Mary when he told her "Woman what have I to do with thee" after she first informed him that they had no wine. Later in the chapter the religious Jewish crowd asked Jesus for a "sign" as to why he turned over tables and chased people out of the Temple. Jesus basically said that after his body was destroyed (killed) he would raise it up again on the third day. That was the SIGN that he gave them! Jesus ACTUALLY prophesied his OWN death and resurrection and told them that would be the SIGN!

BIBLE STUDY 3 [JOHN 1:37-51] There was absolutely NO question about it, that the original followers of the Lord Jesus  KNEW that HE was in fact the MESSIAH! They could tell it by the way that he spoke, by the way that he performed miracles, and most IMPORTANTLY because the SCRIPTURES testified about HIM! That is what this video is about.
