The Black Lotus Podcast#66- Staying Focused, feat. Rich AnthonyIn this episode of The Black Lotus Podcast, hosts Mike and Josiah are joined by Rich Anthony from Oakland, California. We began by exploring the profound influences of mothers and spirituality in shaping their lives. The discussion then shifts to the pervasive issue of cancel culture and society's tendency to prioritize external matters over self-reflection. We then delved into the significance of reading and highlighted the hidden secrets harbored within books, which often go unnoticed. We then shifted gears and discussed the state of the dating scene within the Black community and pondered its future direction. Throughout the episode...2023-05-221h 49

A Sound HeartBrain-Washing the Masses with "Racist" Ideology and Freedom in JesusRacist Ideologies are demonic. The goal of racist ideology is to create a psycho-spiritual split within the soul. It is spiritual schizophrenia. The devil is the author of this species of self-hate and hatred toward toward others. The one who hates is filled with spiritual poison. Such a person is brain-washed to think that hate will fill the soul with wholeness when it produces nothing but spiritual rot. Jesus can free the hate-stained soul with His Love that produces true wholeness.2020-09-0716 min

A Sound HeartHating Others...A House Divided Against Itself Will Not StandThere are those who want to destroy the lives of those who do not share their skin color. There were those who attempted to destroy the lives of the people of Yahweh in the Book of Exodus and Yahweh led them out of that oppressive and destructive bondage. The satan is the god of this age and he is destroying humanity through the cultural lie of racism. What is racism? It seems racism is the intense hatred of those one chooses to hate. It is not dependent upon an objective set of standards or metrics. It is the flesh exercising its dec...2020-09-0416 min

A Sound HeartThe Only Way of Victory Over the Flesh Is To Crucify the Flesh!The world of psychology and therapy likes to talk about evidence-based practices and their effectiveness in helping to solve the problems of living. The Biblical documents do not speak of human psychology as a panacea for the problems of living. The Word of God does not rely upon human theories nor observational studies about the human condition. The Word of God speaks the eternal truth about the human condition. The flesh (Gr. sarx) is the element of the human condition that is radically opposed to God. The flesh is inherently controlled by atheistic nihilism. The Word of God tells believers that...2020-08-2316 min

A Sound HeartPaul and Silas Suffered for the Gospel they Proclaimed to the Unsaved!Jesus said that in the cosmos we would suffer tribulation. It is important to note that he said these poignant words in the Upper Room to his disciples. He wanted them to know the cost of discipleship. Jesus proclaimed no cheap Grace. Jesus is the Grace of God Incarnate. There is nothing cheap about Jesus. Jesus has been attacked by so-called scholars and self-proclaimed intellectuals but he has weathered the temporal storms of their poisonous words. Certainly more prideful minds will arise who believe to their destruction that they have found the golden thread that will unravel the eternal garment of Jesus...2020-08-2116 min

A Sound HeartGod Purchased the Church with the Blood of JesusWhat did the Church cost God? What did God sacrifice in order to redeem us? God so loved the world (people) that He gave is only begotten Son. The Church is the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Head of the Body that He purchased with His own Blood. The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is the central theme of the Bible. Biblical History points to the pivotal event of the death of Jesus that culminates in the resurrection event. If Christ be not risen fron the grave we are of all men most miserable.2020-08-1416 min

A Sound HeartThe Abolition of Man Is Upon Us...re-enter the "Super-Man Before Jesus Comes!We are living in the Eschaton or Last Days of this age. Knowledge has been increased as foretold by Daniel. Invasive technologies have redefined what it means to be human. The classical idea of man as man has vanished along with classical moral norms. Moral relativism is the order of the day as espoused by the social controllers. They themselves operate according to norms that contain no belief in God or man except for their dark designs.2020-08-0716 min

A Sound HeartMan's Attempt to Manipulate the End of History Will Fail by Divine Decree!Predestination and Foreknowledge are very profound and poignant theological doctrines. All constantly believing ones must know that God has determined the end of history because history is HIS-STORY! Men have tried to fathom the reality of history without God and therefore have missed the real meaning of history. The language of the New Testament leads one to confidently conclude that God has predetermined the end of history. Human attemps to avoid that predetermined end are doomed to fail.2020-07-3016 min

A Sound HeartWhy Are You Afraid to Take Up the Cross and Follow Jesus as a Habit of Life?Jesu laid out the ultimate antithesis for all of us. Jesus laid before each of us the ultimate demand. The demand to take up the cross and follow Jesus is not for the religious or the faint of heart. It take extraordinary courage to follow Jesusand mean it. He brooks no rivals. He will never accept any rivals! He and He alone must beour ultimate concern.Those who take up the cross to follow Him are never disappointed or ashamed of their decision. In Him was/is Life and the Life was/is the Light of mankind.2020-07-2216 min

A Sound HeartIs Jesus Merely a Great Teacher or Is He the Son of the Living God?Those who have tried to disavow the claims of the Scriptures concerning the person of Jesus over the centuries have failed. Many have tried to say that Jesus is not who He claims to be have found themselves personally victimized by their own claims. Others, who are less honest have completely ignored the Scriptures and have sought to echo the failed claims of so-called scholars, and have come short of disproving who Jesus (Yeshua) is. Jesus said: "The Scripture cannot be broken." Jesus also said:" Heaven and earth will pass away, but my Word will never pass away."2020-07-1916 min

A Sound HeartMany Child Sex Abuse Victims Believe that They Are Unlovable Even by God!Have you even thought about why children are attacked through sexual abuse? Have you ever talked to an adult who was sexually abused as a child? Do you realize the thousands upon thousands of victims of childhood sexual abuse that live among us? The devil has sought to destroy the lives of children because they are beautiful creations of God. The devil and other evil spirit beings want only ruin for children. It's time to take a stand in this evil day for children! So many victims of childhood sexual abuse believe the lie that they are unlovable even by God.2020-07-1516 min

A Sound HeartYou Need Sharp Discernment and Spiritual Courage to Stand Against False ProphetsGod speaks extensively in His Word about the ruin that false prophets bring into the lives of His people. False (lying) prophets are extremely selfish and arrogant. They will use words in a carefully contrived manner in order to deceive and control people. They do not care that their lies are against the people of God. However, God will havoc the lives of those who havoc His people.2020-07-0916 min

A Sound HeartBeware of False (Lying) Prophets Who Come as Wolves in Sheep ClothingOur Lord Jesus Christ warned us about false prophets who come only to deceive and lead the faithful astray. John warns us about deceiving spirits. Peter warns us about false prophets who will be manifest in the last days. Throughout the Word of God we are warned not to listen to the putrid words of those who lie in wait to deceive, and overthrow the faith of some.2020-07-0416 min

A Sound HeartThe Prophet Habakkuk Spoke Forcefully Against Malignant "Violence" of His TimeThe dark forces of this world know the value of the Word of God. The powers of darkness know that the only Light in this world is Jesus. Therefore they seek to extinguish the Light (Phos) of Jesus. The powers of darkness cannot overcome the Light of the Cosmos. If you want a real life and a not a life of illusion come to Jesus. This world is filled with those who believe that violence will give them their "ultimate concern" and it will not. Jesus said:" Those who live by the sword will die by the sword."2020-06-2716 min

A Sound HeartWhat Can Wash Away My Sin? Nothing but the " Blood" of Jesus!The Word of God teaches the necessity of the finished work of Jesus in order to redeem (purchase) us out from sin. Sin is lack or want of conformity the character of God. Jesus died for all of mankind. It is only through the death of Jesus that we can receive eternal life. Jesus offers the only way (road) to freedom in this world (cosmos).2020-06-2316 min

A Sound HeartFaith in a Time of Social InstabilityFaith is a noun of action. Faith is never a mere intellectual idea in the Word of God. It is for many people but not those who follow Jesus. To follow Jesus means that one forsakes his own existence and take up the cross with the idea of never putting it down. We follow Jesus by faith (Gk. pisticism). When we follow Jesus we walk by faith not by sight (empiricism). Today our country needs those who call upon Jesus by faith.2020-06-0516 min

A Sound HeartPride Eats Those Deceived by Its Malignant Lies!Very few cosmic psychology books address the malignant spiritual pathology of pride. Pride is inherent in the human heart and its institutions. Pride is more that morbid self-interent. Pride is more that pathology. It is an ontological way of being for humanity dead in trespasses and sins. It is only through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus that we can be freed from the morbid ontology of pride. Paul uses the word ontology in his letter to the Church of Ephesus when writing about what we were before we were saved.2020-05-2415 min

A Sound HeartFight the Good Fight of Faith (Gk. Pistis)!Noah believed that Yahweh was going to bring a global flood upon the earth. Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness. Joseph believed God and he became prime minister of Egypt. Moses believed God and he delivered God's people for Egyptian bondage. The powerful theme of the Scriptures is unshakeable belief in the character of God. By the instrumentality you/we can move mountains!2020-05-1916 min

A Sound HeartHabakkuk and the Challenge of Faith in Evil TimesHabakkuk was a prophet who carried a heavy burden. He carefully observed the behavior of the wicked and he wanted to know why Yahweh had not judged their terrible behavior. He observed that the wicked surrounded the righteous in order to strangle and curtail justice. The wicked proved themselves incredibly selfish and determined to do everything in their power to hinder the Word of God.2020-05-0816 min

A Sound HeartBelievers Seem Bewildered About What Is Going On TodayIn old days some theologues spoke glowing words about the universal salvation of all men. Rarely does one read such things today. In the recent old days "christian" counselors spoke about the unity of biblical doctrines with human psychology. I have such books in my library. Such people took the proverbial bait. They were deceived by the cosmos into believing that their biblical footnotes were acceptable to their world-plan. Everything that God spoke about in days of old are being fulfilled. Bible doctrine is never sold on the auction block to any generation. Generations come and go, but the Word of...2020-05-0316 min

A Sound HeartThe Rich Young Ruler and the Question of Ultimate Concern by JesusThe question about eternal life posed by the rich young ruler manifests the essence of human self-interest. The rich young ruler assumed that he only needed to complete a formulaic religious ritual in order to receive eternal life. The encounter with Jesus arrested the hidden arrogance of his self-interest and confronted him with deepest assumption, and reality-his riches! His question to Jesus was superficial, but Jesus took his question and used it as a surgeon's blade.2020-04-1914 min

A Sound HeartAre You Ready to Meet Jesus?Will you be there when the glorified church will meet the Lord Jesus in the air? Have you believed into the person of Jesus? I dont mean do you go to "church." I mean have you believed into the person of Jesus for eternal salvation? You, and only you can answer this vitally important question. Now is the accepted time, now is the Day of Salvation. You see what the world really is today. You see that the world's leaders of darkness do not love you. God loves you, and you must (dei) come to Him through Jesus.2020-04-0816 min

A Sound HeartThere Was War in Heaven Michael and his Angels Fought the Drakon and his angelsThis age(aeon) will end with the Tribulation Period. The Tribulation Period marks the end of the so-called Church Age. Peter even writes that judgement will begin at the House of God. This is remarkable because he cogently comtemplates the destiny of the ungodly who know not God. The Tribulation Period will begin with the falling away first of the professed church. The confessed church will be with Jesus in glory. However, during the Tribulation we are told that the devil will be cast out of heaven and his wrath will be great because he knows that his time is short...2020-04-0116 min

A Sound HeartThere Was War in Heaven Michael and his Angels Fought the Dra(kon) and Won!The Book of Revelation is the Book of Beginning too. What had been lost through the deceitfulness of sin has been overthrown by the Almighty God. The enemy (hater) of humanity will meet his eternal defeat by Almighty God whom he sought to supplant, and later mimic by claiming the perogatives of Deity for himself-a created being. All of creation is dependent upon God a fact that the mathematical theologians of energy had always known, and have carefully concealed from untutored humanity. God will one day dismiss this theater of the absurd and then we will have a new heavens and...2020-03-3015 min

A Sound HeartWe Must Keep Our Eyes On Jesus in Tough Times !The distraction of trouble is upon us. It seeks to create fear in our hearts. Fear seeks to isolate us. Fear wants you to be intimidated. If fears wins your heart will be unsettled and ill at peace. If fear wins it will seize your profession of faith and imprison you in candid spiritual defeat. The Savior wants us to concentrate upon Him so that we will have peace during the storm. Beloved, don't let the enemy of our souls steal your hope.2020-03-1816 min

A Sound HeartThere Will Be a Terrible Global Partial "Human Extinction" End Time EventGod has told us in His Word that the end of this age (aeon) will be characterized by terrible and terrifying events. The Holy Spirit is now restraining the full manifestation of intra-and inter-human evil events. This world (cosmos) is controlled by evil beings that know their destiny is the Lake of Fire and yet are fully determined to do evil. These eveil beings know that the Lake of Fire is real. They know that God has already prepared the Lake of Fire for the devil and his angels. During the End Times God is going to remove the restraining power...2020-03-0816 min

A Sound HeartDo You Love Jesus Enough to Follow Him in Real Discipleship?Jesus said: "And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple (Luke 14:27)." There are those who believe that the Words of Jesus can be ignored or dismissed without penalty. That belief is false, and will reap ruin to those who believe it. The Words of Jesus are Words of eternal truth and destiny. We ignore His Words to our individual and collective peril. Hear the Words of Jesus and find real life!2020-03-0515 min

A Sound HeartThe Word of God Is Alive and PowerfulThe Book of Genesis (Beginnings) opens with the creative activity of Yahweh Elohim through the immediate agency of His Word. There is the unity of speech/act in the original document. Note that Yahweh creates new being through His very Word. The God who speaks gives life through His Word. He is before creation, He is independent of creation , and yet creation is dependent upon His gracious will. The incarnation of Jesus the Logos is the reality of eternal essence in humam form. The more that we give our wills over to His Word the more we prosper in life.2020-03-0116 min

A Sound HeartThe 21st Century Malaise of Meaninglessness Is Overcome "In Him" (Jesus)People today are the victims of endless distractions. The enemy has used powerful brainwashing techniques, effective gaslighting tools, and political doublespeak to keep people off balance. 'Life' offers nothing to people today except debt, worry, angst, trivial excitement over shiny and deceptive objects so that they will not realise that "Waiting for Godot" will not bring them salvation. Godot never come to rescue the bewildered ones from their icy misery. Jesus is the opposite of the Godot LIE. Jesus offers real life to those who will come to Him.2020-02-2315 min

A Sound HeartWhat Is Most Vital to Your Spiritual Life Apologetics or Resurrection Power?Where is the fire of the Faith today? Where is the dynamic witness of fervent Faith? Why has understanding the Faith through the agency of abstract discursive replaced the refreshing fire of the Spirit? Why is it that few teach on the resurrection power of Jesus?2020-02-1516 min

A Sound HeartPornography Gives the devil a Base of Operation In Your Life- Leave it AloneThe Word of God protects out minds. We are to wear the helmet of salvation and never take it off. We are to metabolize the Word because if we do not we will not be able to stand against the wiles (strategies) of the devil (diabolos). Many lives have been ruined by people believing that they can actually "make it" in the devil's world without the Word. This is also a lie of the enemy. Brothers and sisters the Lord is coming soon dont allow your souls to be polluted by the devil's sexual images. Those who traffic in ography only w...2020-02-1116 min

A Sound HeartThe Necessity of Jesus in the 21st CenturyThe world is a religo-political milieu. Those who do not yet know Jesus, and some of those who "believe" in Jesus march in lock step with the spirit of the age. The god of this age has blinded the minds of people lest they come to know the glorious person of Jesus and His salvation.2020-01-2816 min

A Sound HeartThe Holy Spirit Is the Believer's Primary Teacher for Spiritual PerceptionThe Holy Spirit of God is our primany teacher. Without the Holy Spirit one cannot understand the Word of God. Yes, one may approach the Bible as "religious" literature, but the deep mysteries of the teachings of the Word of God will not and cannot be understood. The Holy Spirit is the author of the Biblical documents. It is He who moved certain persons to write down His inspired teachings. It is He who decided upon which books or documents were entered into the sacred canon. Unholy and spiritually carnal persons cannot perceive with divine accuracy Bible doctrine because they are no...2020-01-0410 min

A Sound HeartJesus Has "Super" Overcome the Cosmic System and Then Some More!The cosmic system is the "world" as we know it. The cosmic system is ruled by evil supernaturalism. Believing ones are enjoined by the apostle Paul to dorn the armour of God (Theos) as our only necessary protection while in the world. We are enjoined by Paul to do this because we wrestle not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, powers, and the world rulers of this present darkness.2019-12-3116 min

A Sound HeartIf Anyone "In Christ " He/She Is a New CreationPauline Theology presents the reality of the finished work of Christ. Paul preached Christ crucified, and nothing else. Paul's self-understanding as a self-righteous pharisee was exploded by the Living Christ himself. Paul called everything that he had accomplished outside of Jesus "dung." Paul's greatest desire was to have a deep awareness of Jesus. We live in a world which blocks spiritual perception of Jesus. People are preoccupied with the things of this world, and what little they know of Jesus is snatched away by the enemy.2019-12-1516 min

A Sound HeartBeware of Incomplete Obedience to the LordThe Word of God demands that believing ones are faithful in doing the will of God. The history makers in the Word of God knew this to be true. Faith is demonstrated in the Bible by what one does not by what one says. We must be ever watchful of our actions. We dare not mouth obedience without appropriate actions as evidence of our confession. God blesses the lives of those who do His will according to His designs.2019-12-0111 min

A Sound HeartA Detailed Description of the Crucifixion of Jesus the MessiahIgnorance of the details of the crucifixion of Jesus is inexcusable. No believer should be unaware of the how and by what means the Savior of the world was crucified. He died for all mankind and therefore the world should know about his sacrifice.2019-11-1915 min

A Sound HeartJesus Did Not Preach Religion He Proclaimed Salvation For Ruined Souls Pt.2It is imperative to know the Good News of Jesus. Because He is the only way (road) of salvation. Many people claim to be the way of salvation either through politics, religion, or self-indulgence, but only through Jesus may one truly know God's salvation.2019-11-1812 min

A Sound HeartJesus Did Not Preach Religion He Proclaimed Salvation For Ruined SoulsThe cross of Jesus is still relevant. The cross of Jesus is the focus of history. Those who would escape from live ruined by sin must come to Jesus. The world only offers distractions and lies. The world offers only the pleasures of the flesh with the illusion of satisfaction. Only when one comes to Jesus will one find a real life. One must look to the living Savior in order to have a real life. Are you tired of the world and its lies? Come to Jesus and He will set you free.2019-11-1310 min

A Sound HeartIn the Last Days Terrible (Demonic) Times Will ComeThe Word of God has provided sufficient prophetic messages so that the church may be edified by thing to come. It is important that believing ones are Spirit-filled in these days. It is important the believing ones be well grounded in the Truth of the Word because planned confusion is afoot. People are brain-washed, manipulated, frightened, lied too, and gaslighted relentlessly. The Amour of God and His Word are our only protection in these demonic times. Please pray for the saints in different countries around the world who are being persecuted because of their faith in Jesus.2019-11-0716 min

A Sound HeartGet and Stay Spiritually Healthy Through Deep Exposure to God's WordBelieving ones must understand the the spirit of this age is contra the Word of God. The world will never laud the power of the Word. Indeed, the world (cosmos) does not have the innate capacity to perceive the deep contents of the Word. That is reserved only for Spirit-filled believers. Through perception of the Word of God believers are able to grow in Grace and in the superknowledge of Jesus. That's right, superknowledge or epignosis is the result of believing the Word of God by Faith.2019-10-1316 min

A Sound HeartWhen You Lie About the Word of God You Concurrently Reap DestructionIt is amazing that some people absolutely speak about the relativity of truth. It it also amazing that people without credentials decry, denounce, and rail against the Word of God. It is also amazing that the atheioi (atheists) want to impose universal silence upon the Word of God because it offends their sensibilities. It is incredible that cranky social theorists have written God out of the universe and left people without absolute values and principles. God has written down all of their lies with an iron pen! They will not escape His coming judgement.2019-10-0315 min

A Sound HeartDenial of the Resurrection Does Not Negate Its Historic Reality!The judgement of sin was done through the person of Jesus. The offer of eternal life with God is through the person of Jesus. The resurrection of Jesus may be denied by lesser intellects and so-called scholars who do not know God, but the resurrection did happen in 33 AD. Those who deny the resurrection of Jesus will stand before God one day and he will read from the books that have their terrible lies. The books will have all of the hard sayings that they have spewed about the person of Jesus including calling God a LIAR!2019-10-0215 min

A Sound HeartJesus Cried : "...It is Finished..."Jesus gave his life so that you and I can live forever with God. He is the Lamb of God who took all of the sin of this world unto His sinless person and bore the guilt and penalty of sin for us. If you are tired of all of the lies and evil of this world come to Jesus and get a real life. Come to Jesus for eternal life. He will bless yoy with a life that is wonderfully full and meaningful.2019-09-2816 min

A Sound HeartBrothers Don't Cheat On Your Wives In Thought Or Deed!My dear brothers in Christ dont cheat on your wives in thought or deed. If you do you are giving the devil a foothold in your life, and a base of operation to destroy your testimony and loved ones.2019-09-1516 min

A Sound HeartJesus Will Destroy the Anti-Christ With the Brightness of His AppearingThe Great Tribulation will be a brutal time. The Great Tribulation is the time of God's wrath upon the Christ rejecting world. Indeed, very bad theology and compromised preaching has watered down the message of the Word of God. Pastoral counseling has replaced the fire in thy mouth pulpit. The sheep are being destroyed by ungodly shepherds. The anti-christ or man of sin will have a short reign. He knows that his destiny is the Lake of Fire and yet he will defy the God of Heaven.2019-09-1316 min

A Sound HeartPsychiatry and Clinical Psychology Have FailedTurn to God and you will experience a real life. Continue to believe in the failed ways of man and you will not be free in life.2019-09-0815 min

A Sound HeartReckon Yourselves Dead to Sin and Alive to GodThe Apostle Paul knew that if one is to serve God fully he or she must die to sinful practice. There is no other way. The believer must reckon himself dead to sin and its inherent misery. In the presence of God alone do we find the fullness of life that is denied us in the satanic world system.2019-09-0816 min

A Sound HeartWhy We Study the Faith Journey of AbrahamAbraham believed God's Word and he was credited with righteousness. This ancient man of God live in the Middle Bronze Period. He left Ur of the Chaldees in response to the call of God. However, he stopped at Haran (delay) until the death of his father who worshipped other gods. Abraham allowed his will to be shaped by the Word of God and he became the Friend of God.2019-09-0116 min

A Sound HeartYou Work Out, You're Ripped, But Is There A "Man" In That Meat Suit?Demonic feminism has relentlessly blasphemed men. Feminism has destroyed man-hood. Males no longer have role models. Classical role models are gone. Its because the powers no longer want men to be men. The powers want men to merely be mallable boys molded into whatever cartoon pseudo post-modern thing entity they desire. Males today, and females too have become shadowy figures that have no coherent self-understanding. Irrational nihilism rules the day 2019-08-2616 min

A Sound HeartPornography Is a Relentless Idolatry that Tortures and Enslaves the SoulThe Bible states that perverse behavior is the work of the flesh. Paul wrote in Romans that men and women learned to treat one another with adroit viciousness. He even uses the word pathos from which we get the english word pathology to denote that malignant estate of the soul given over to gross evil and lusts. ography destroys the souls of people.
