In this modern-day parable, you will learn about a young doctor who has discovered the cure for cancer... for real! But public response is not at all what he expected it to be. Why are people so opposed to the young doctor's discovery? This parable communicates an important truth which also explains why we are so hated for teaching people to obey Jesus.

What can we do about people on the Internet who bother us with their crazy conspiracy theories and irrational arguments? The Internet itself has turned to Artificial intelligence for a solution. This is ironic, since A.I. is what started the problem in the first place. (Please see our video "Internet Zombies" https://youtu.be/jo50mZrbsjM for further explanation of how that has happened.)

YouTube and other parts of the Internet are flooded with made up conspiracy theories at the moment. Hebrew roots people argue that Jesus IS the Torah, and that he wants us to go back to obeying the Old Testament. Right-wing evangelicals are trying to convince us that covid is not real, and that the Earth is flat. For your own sake and for the sake of the people around you, stop listening to these YouTube false prophets! Can you do that long enough to listen to Jesus? Take the next few minutes to try.

Jesus said, "If you give a cup of cold water in my name to one of my disciples, you will receive a reward." Now, this channel is all about the teachings of Jesus Christ, but something about this teaching always clanged, even though it is something Jesus said. But it's not the teaching itself that is the problem; it's how people use it to say that you can do the bare minimum and still get a spot in heaven. It doesn't seem to line up with the idea that the way to heaven is narrow. In this video, I debunk the myth that has arisen from this "cup of water" teaching of Jesus.

You've heard about praying without ceasing, but have you ever thought about fasting without ceasing? No, it's not impossible! In this video, I present a little guide to prayer and fasting which may be closer to what Jesus was advocating, and what he actually practiced himself. Traditional fasting can be very good for us at times, but this alternative approach to fasting may be what we need to get us out of a religious mindset, and into a deeper relationship with God.

Listen up, all you demon possessed Christians of America! Your conspiracy theories about Covid and your anti-vax movement has gone on long enough! You talk about Jesus in your political rants, but your hearts are far from him. You not only refuse to obey Jesus yourselves, but you harden the rest of the world against hearing what Jesus taught with your irrational arguments and violent protests against anything that does not conform to your selfish desires. If you really want to be on God's side, rebuke the devil that has possessed you, and become a shining example of what a Christian is supposed to be!

Amazon One palm scanning technology allows you to go into a shop and pay with your hand, and it is the latest in a series of cashless developments around the world which is ultimately leading to the implementation of the Mark of the Beast. Most Christians can see it, but when it comes to how to prepare for the Mark of the Beast, nobody really wants the solution, because the solution is too uncomfortable for most people. But if you are one in a million... or more accurately... one in roughly 50,000, listen to the solution right now, and then contact us today.

Thanks to social media, the world is getting more and more polarized over such issues as the covid-19 vaccine and US politics, and there doesn't seem to be anyone left who is thinking rationally and fairly about these and other important, global issues. The world is falling apart, and almost nobody can see how we are being manipulated through social media to become this way. Who is to blame? The social media supercomputers? or the people who allowed themselves to be manipulated by them?

I say a few negative things about John Piper on this channel, but a viewer recently sent me this great John Piper sermon, which really inspired me, and so I wanted to share it with you too. It's over 10 years old, and more recent sermons from John Piper indicate that we definitely do NOT see eye to eye on what Jesus taught about such things as forsaking all. But it was refreshing to see Piper giving such well thought-out reasons for why the prosperity gospel is abomination in Christianity today. Check it out, and let me know what you think.

Is there anything wrong with questioning your salvation? Even asking that question is seen as a lack of faith by Christians who tell us that we have to know that we know that we're saved, in order to prove to God that we really have faith in him. But in this video, I'll show you how such spiritual arrogance is most likely to damn you to hell. I know it's not what you want to hear, but for the sake of your eternal fate, please take a moment to question your salvation.

A 2020 documentary called 'We Need To Talk About AI' offers a sobering glimpse at where the world is headed in terms of frightening new technologies and artificial intelligence. The experts themselves are quite clear about the fact that these advancements in technology could mark the end of the human race... but they see nothing wrong with that. In fact, some of them are hoping for this eventuality. Christians want to know if this is something to be concerned about. What role does AI play in Bible prophecy?

The entire world is eagerly awaiting the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. The Bible predicts that it will happen... and it may not be far away. For some, this event will be a wonderful confirmation that God's chosen people are the Jews, and that his holy city is Jerusalem, over there in Israel. But for others, the third temple will be seen as a testimony to how far the human race has strayed from God, and it will also be the start of great suffering for many who claim to follow Jesus Christ. What do you think this Jewish temple represents? Watch this video, before you make up your mind.

I recently listened to an Elevation Church sermon by Robert Madu. It was a sermon about pride, and in it, Robert makes some really excellent points. When it was over, I felt inspired to write this "sermon review", so that I could highlight some of those great points that Robert made... but also so that I could provide a bit of critical feedback. Between Robert's sermon and my review here, I hope that you can walk away with some lessons that will help to change your life for the better.

Have you ever been told that we need to "rightly divide the word of truth"? People often quote this instruction from Paul when they want to use one part of the Bible to contradict another part they don't like. This error has crept in because people assume that "the word of truth" is the Bible, and that Paul's instruction to "study to show yourself approved unto God" is also teaching us to study the Bible. In this video, we'll show you how Paul wasn't talking about the Bible at all. Once you understand that, you will discover a radical new way to study the Word of God.

In the Revelation, we read about 144,000 people who represent God's end time Church. Well, we do seem to be getting closer to the events described in the book of Revelation... so who are the 144,000? And WHERE are they? Our community has spent three decades looking, and it's been a bit disappointing, to be honest. We can hardly find ONE person who wants to "follow the Lamb wherever he goes". But more recently, we have started to consider that this supernatural coming together of God's people.. the Bride of Christ in Revelation... may happen in a radically different way. Watch this video to learn more!

Bible prophecy is a complex subject for a lot of people... but it doesn't need to be. There's actually a very simple way to interpret prophecies in the Revelation, but this way has been left out of almost every sermon on prophecy, and for this reason, prophetic teachings in lukewarm Christianity are putting people in exactly the right place to go to hell. Why is this happening? Why won't preachers teach Bible prophecy the RIGHT way? Watch this video to find out.

Is God all-loving? We're told that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but why should we be asked to "fear" someone who apparently loves us so much? And is pain and suffering in life consistent with the idea that God loves us? It takes wisdom to answer these questions, but if you will sincerely seek the answers, you will discover true love in this life... and the next.

Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election. That is a fact which is accepted by the entire world... except for the most popular preachers in America, and the millions of people who subscribe to American evangelicalism. They refuse to accept that their false god is unable to do so much as push a pencil over, much less win a presidential election... just like the prophets of Baal, who bluffed as hard as they could to invoke their god, until the REAL God had had enough. How long will they continue to bluff? And how long will it be until God has had enough?

What is happening in the US? So much of the population appears to be going insane! They promote conspiracy theories and bluff their way through false prophecies, and it's all done in the name of God... or more accurately, right-wing American evangelicalism. In late 2020, these false prophets promised that Donald Trump would be re-elected as president. You don't need to be a theologian to see how wrong the most popular preachers in America were, but can you believe they're STILL bluffing... even after Donald Trump lost?! We've packed just a few of the lies and self-righteousness into a 20 minute video, so you can see for yourself just what a sham American Christianity has become. Come out of her, my people!

People are becoming more aware of a looming threat to our world. Catastrophes such as climate change, pandemics, and abuses of power are already causing great suffering to millions of people. How do we get God's protection in these troubling times? And what can we do to prepare for even worse times, and the Great Tribulation spoken of in Bible prophecy. This video provides the answer... if you're willing to hear it.

One of the biggest distractions in Christianity today is the teaching that you need to know how to say Jesus' name perfectly. You've probably heard names like Yeshua, Yehoshua, and Yahshua as some examples of the supposedly "correct" way to say Jesus' name, but how do you know which name is the one Jesus would have actually used 2000 years ago? And does it even matter? All of the arguments used to support the "correct name" teaching are silly at best, and downright distractions at worst. This video exposes this whole ridiculous distraction for what it is, and helps you to see what the REAL meaning behind Jesus' name is.

Climate change, Covid-19, and other global disasters call for major changes to how we live our lives. But we are told that solutions such as renewable energy and lock-downs will hurt the economy. Governments say that we need to find a balance between saving lives and saving the economy, and it sounds reasonable to most of the world, until we question what the economy actually is, and what... or more importantly, WHO is being "saved" at the expense of the planet and at the expense of millions of lives lost to covid. It's time to challenge this made up "dilemma" which is being touted by world leaders. Will you join us in doing that?

Christians in the West don't know what it's like to be illegal for believing in Jesus Christ. We take it for granted that our governments are Christian too... or at least that they are tolerant of the Christian religion. But we know from Bible prophecy that this tolerance is going away. The world is becoming progressively anti-Christian, and one day, you will be considered a criminal unless you denounce your faith in God. If you don't prepare for this time now, you will almost certainly turn from God when the going gets tough. This video will help you to prepare, so please watch it, and then write to us if you want to link up with others who are also preparing to be illegal for Christ.

Jesus was once asked what we must do to have eternal life. In response, Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan. Have you ever considered the implications of that short story, and how it relates to your salvation? It's not just a story about how God likes it when we're nice to people. It's an example of how we need to live our lives if we hope to be part of the kingdom of heaven. There is a powerful lesson in the parable of the Good Samaritan which is not being talked about in any church today. Will you listen to it?

When it comes to demonic possession, we tend to see people as either being possessed by demons, or being free of them. Unfortunately, it isn't that simple. In this video, you'll learn about a woman who battles real demons on a daily basis. Her demons show themselves in very abnormal and shocking ways. For most of us, however, we have besetting sins which we never totally "cast out", and they manifest themselves in ways that we consider to be "normal" human behavior. But that doesn't make our sins any less demonic. Are you willing to confront your demons, and learn what it takes to keep confronting them on a daily basis? If so, please watch this video, and then write to me at the email address shown at the end.

Every day, people write to me to tell me how they are "Bible-believing Christians..." they go to a "Bible-believing church..." and so on. Do you know what I say to all of that? It's all a great big heap of shit. How can I say that? Because the Bible says it! That's right, the same Bible that so many of you seem to worship, says that everything else in it--if it's not pointing you to the teachings of Jesus--is a heap of shit. Don't believe me? Watch this video to hear this shocking message for yourself.

Do you believe that God has any control over the events of our time? Climate change, the coronavirus pandemic, the US presidential election... are these things destined to happen the way you believe they are, regardless of God's will? And what about your salvation? Is God locked in to saving you because your church told you that you are saved? If you think you can tell God how he's supposed to run the show, you better take a step back and consider just how blind you are to the bigger picture, and what the future holds. Take just 12 minutes to do that right now.

The whole world is relieved by the results of the 2020 US presidential election. Donald Trump will not serve another term, and the United States will once again be made great under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris... or will it? You see, a very serious problem exists on both sides of the political spectrum, and until we address the REAL elephant in the White House and in the rest of the country, we'll never make America great again. Regardless of your religious or political affiliation, are you willing to confront this uncomfortable truth? Watch this video, and then write to me to tell me if you are.

A Voice in the Desert has been accused of being a religious cult, led by an autocratic dictator like Jim Jones. Well, what if that's true? What if our community IS a scam? Will you let your fear of that possibility stop you from acting on the Truth that you've heard on this channel? How can you be sure that what you're hearing is the Truth, and not just clever tricks to control you? Believe it or not, this video will tell you how!

The Bible tells us that, in the last days, men will be lovers of themselves, and that real love shall wax cold. Of all the signs of the times, this increase of self love and terrible lack of Godly love is the most apparent. We occasionally hear of yet another selfie tragedy, where people are injured or killed for the purpose of getting a snapshot of themselves. Will you be sucked in to the lie of self love, or will you choose to stand against it at the risk of being unpopular and "lame?"

Let's face it... there are contradictions in the Bible. All of our attempts to argue otherwise have only hardened the hearts of skeptics more than they already were, and so Christian vs atheist debates often go nowhere as a result of this willful ignorance about contradictions in the Bible. Many of the contradictions we find in the Bible are inconsequential, but what do we do about the ones which actually change how we live our lives? In this video, we'll use one example from the teachings of Jesus to show you how a little wisdom can help you find a lot more clarity.

As each year passes, the entire planet sinks into more disasters, more hatred, and more war. The coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic (among other things) in 2020 led to what some believe to be the worst year in history. But if we don't learn the important lessons we need to learn as a result of this year... if we don't adopt a radically new perspective on life... we're only going to see an even greater decline in faith, love, and human rights next year. This video will get you thinking about what needs to be done to truly change the world.

Romans 4:2-5 is one of those passages, along with James 2:21-24, and Hebrews 11:8-10, which points to Abraham's faith and works through listening to God and forsaking all. The do-nothing preachers on both sides of the holiness debate rarely use these verses because they hate the forsake all teaching more than anything else Jesus taught. Instead they focus on the dead works of religion; rules about not swearing, paying your tithes, getting water baptised, etc. But like Jesus said in the Beattitudes: Abraham hungered and thirsted after righteousness and it was his faith, exemplified by his good works—his willingness to give up everything including his own son, Isaac—was what justified Abraham before God. This is exactly what is missing in the church world today.

Most of the world today is suffering from a lack of vision in life. Many of us don't even have a reason for getting up in the morning, and those who do find that they are left feeling unfulfilled at the end of the day. Surely, there must be meaning and purpose in life which goes beyond the rat race and cheap thrills offered to us by the system. What sort of vision can show us the meaning of life, and give us something worth living for? The message in this video will help you to get on the right path, by getting you out of the present, and into eternity.

We're all familiar with the Lord's prayer, even if we're not particularly religious. But how many of us repeat the lines of this prayer from Jesus Christ each day without considering what it all means, and how our lives should be changing as a result of this sincere prayer? In this video, we will look at how the awesome power of God shines through in what Jesus taught us to pray, and in so doing, you will understand the Lord's prayer in a radically new way.

The world would be a very different place if people followed what Jesus said about loving our enemies. Society teaches us to seek revenge against those who have done wrong to us. But in this video, we will show you some powerful testimonies from people who chose to listen to Jesus instead, by loving their enemies rather than seeking vengeance. You can change the world by showing this amazing love that Jesus taught! Are you willing?

This video examines a film ("How To Meet God") featuring Torben Søndergaard of the Last Reformation Movement. . Torben's testimony implies we need water baptism and more emotional experiences to know God personally. This video reveals what the fruit of receiving the Holy Spirit will lead to. It also shows how to discern if someone has the spirit of God or not. Have you been conned into believing a false gospel that pays lip service to the Son of God? Check this out if you're interested in Jesus Christ's plan of salvation which exposes all the counterfeits for what they are.

"The Prodigal Son" is a continuation of the Liberator comic, an original cartoon story. In this video (covering most of Luke 15) Jesus exposes the unloving attitude of the pharisees through two parables - the parable of the lost sheep and the parable of the prodigal son. This is a video about the power of God's love and forgiveness towards sinners.

It's not easy to admit that you're wrong about something, especially when it comes to uncomfortable truths like the great tribulation and the timing of the rapture. In this video, we'll be looking at the pre-trib vs post-trib rapture debate, and we'll be discussing the all-important need for us to honestly examine the facts and accept the truth (no matter how difficult it may be) in order to better understand Bible prophecy.

You can read about the four horsemen of the apocalypse in the book of Revelation, chapter 6. Like much of what you read in Bible prophecy, these horsemen are rather mysterious. A lot of strange theories have been formed around their identities, so this video is an attempt to set things straight. In particular, we are focusing on the important spiritual lessons which can be learned from studying these horsemen, and how those lessons relate to the teachings of Jesus. This method of studying the Revelation will always lead to Truth... even if some of our details aren't exactly correct.

Amongst those who support Donald Trump as president of the United States, the majority are evangelical Christians... people who profess loudly to be followers of Jesus Christ. If you've watched other videos on A Voice in the Desert, you'll know what being a follower of Jesus is really all about. You don't need to read the gospels for very long to learn what Jesus said. Compare that to what Donald Trump says and does, and you'll see just how contrary to the teachings of Jesus the president is. So, why do evangelicals support Donald Trump? This video explains why.

What do you think of when you hear the word 'idolatry'? A golden calf? Yoga? Worship of the sun, moon, and stars? What about "the almighty dollar?" It's shocking how many Christians proclaim that "money makes the world go round", at the same time they claim to worship a God who supposedly created this planet and all the life in it. If you want to break away from the I-Dollar-Tree, this video will give the axe you need to start chopping at the root of all evil.

"Growing in Faith" is a continuation of the Liberator comic, an original cartoon story covering Luke 17:1-10. Jesus warns against leading children astray before going on to explore the subject of forgiveness and repentance. He also answers the apostles' question about how to grow in faith in a surprising manner and touches on the subject of obedience and humility.

"God or Money" is a continuation of the Liberator comic, an original cartoon story. In this video (focusing on Luke 16), Jesus delivers the parable of the unjust steward which explores what it means to have worldly wisdom and what it means to be wise with an eternal perspective. The video also includes the story of the rich man and Lazarus, where Jesus hammers home the point that our attitude towards money and people has eternal consequences.

"The Last Days" is a continuation of the Liberator comic, an original cartoon story covering Luke 17:20 - Luke 18:8. After revealing how the kingdom of God is within us, Jesus predicts various end times signs occurring before the return of Christ, including a cryptic statement about where the church will be taken. Jesus also delivers the parable of the persistent widow about the need for endurance and faith in the end times.

This Bible study on the first chapter of the Gospel of Mark explores how Jesus felt he had an urgent message to get out and his wish for people to listen to his words - the teachings of Jesus - more than focusing on him as a miracle-worker. Are you seeking a clearer picture of what it means to be a follower Jesus and what it means to believe the Gospel? If so, check out this video which brings to life the heart of the Gospel and remains true to the spirit of Christ.

"Religious Pride and True Wealth" is a continuation of the Liberator comic, an original cartoon story covering Luke 18:9-Luke 19:10. This begins with the parable of the pharisee and tax collector about the difference between humble prayer to God and proudly praying to ourselves. Jesus goes on to explain about the nature of the Kingdom of God and how we need to become like a small child to enter it. The video also features the counsel Jesus gives the rich young ruler in response to his question of how to be saved and ends with the story of Zacchaeus and how he experiences salvation. Do you know what true wealth is? And are you ready to leave it all behind to follow Jesus?

"Three Factors That Will Lead To Great Suffering" explores conspiracy theories fast becoming reality in the rise of self love, internet addiction and China's bid for world domination. Are you addicted to the Internet? Have you questioned whether we are at a point of no return due to the lack of accountability of the most powerful countries and corporations in the world? This is a video for people who can see how Bible prophecy is unfolding before our very eyes and who are willing to take a stand.

"Burying Your Talent" is a continuation of the Liberator comic, an original cartoon story covering Luke 19:11-27. Here Jesus delivers one of the most misunderstood parables, the parable of the 10 talents, about what it means to be found faithful. Are you growing your God-given gifts?

People are asking the question: Is the Huduma number the Mark of the Beast? This Update on The 666-uation in Kenya reveals the relationship between the Huduma Card in Kenya and the 666 prophecy. Most importantly, it explains how people can escape the Mark of the Beast in Kenya and elsewhere by understanding God's plan and acting on it.
