Dean Smith
Welcome to a podcast by opentheword.org where we provide Bible teaching and Biblical perspective on the rapid changes taking place in our society.
In this second of my two part series, I discuss the last three of my eight reasons why I believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit are intended for today. It seems that the Holy Spirit is manifesting His gifts even among those who don't believe in them.
Over the past couple of months, I have been doing a series on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the importance of spiritual gifts. It has attracted the attention of cessationists who don’t believe the spiritual gifts are for today. In this first of two podcasts, I discuss eight reasons why I believe the spiritual gifts are still for today.
By Dean SmithIn this podcast, I discuss one of the more controversial Gifts of the Holy Spirit, the gift of Tongues. Why does the Holy Spirit give this gift? What is its purpose?

By Dean SmithIn this podcast, I discuss what I believe is the greatest hindrance to the moving of the Holy Spirit in our personal lives and the church.
The Bible talks about a Second work of grace, after salvation, where believers are filled with the Holy Spirit. It through this Baptism of the Holy Spirit that we can be empowered like the early church.
In this podcast, I discuss the touchy issue of forgiving our parents and how it potentially impacts our perception of God. I know of instances where parents have been dead and buried for years and yet are still alive in their children’s minds because of unresolved issues.
In this podcast, Dean talks about laying on of Hands and the impartation of the Holy Spirit, which is called one of the foundational doctrines of the Bible in Hebrews 6:1-2.

Using an illustration from a Christmas journey many years back, Wayne Johnston explains what it means when the Apostle Paul writes that Jesus came in the 'fullness of time.'
In this podcast, I discuss the world’s greatest earthquake. This one, of course, hasn’t happened yet. It is one that the Apostle John saw occurring during the apocalyptic events leading up to Christ’s second coming recorded in the Book of Revelation.
Wayne Johnston shares a word for 2024. As the darkness covers the earth, like the wise men, we need to focus on the light.
When it comes to the Christmas story, many have wondered who exactly were the Magi, that came to Bethlehem looking for the newborn king of the Jews?
In this podcast, I discuss Paul Vitz's theory that a person's atheistic beliefs can sometimes stem from a broken relationship with a person's earthly father.
In this podcast, we compare famed Hollywood actress Goldie Hawn's alleged encounter with an extraterrestrial with the prophet Daniel's encounter with an angel, because there seems to be some similarities.
In this podcast, I want to discuss the tendency many of us have to treat God as little more than a good luck charm. It showed up in two battles separated by nearly 3,100 years when two armies tried to use a God-good luck charm and it failed miserably.
In the Book of Revelation, the Apostle John’s vision of the calamitous events that will be occurring in the end times, we read of the strange thing that will be happening on Earth when God touches the sun.
In this podcast, I discuss the concept of Divine Providence which holds that God is actively working in our lives and situations, even though we may not be fully aware of it.
FOLLOW OUR PODCAST ON (search opentheword): PODCAST NOTES: Hi, my name is Dean Smith, and welcome back to the second of my two-part series on Christians and UFOs. In my first podcast, I looked at the possibility that there might actually be life on other planets. It was the opinion held by perhaps the world’s greatest evangelist, Billy Graham. Though the Bible does not mention extraterrestrials, if they do exist, we know from Scripture that God created the heavens and earth. God knows of their existence and is in control. But there is also a second alternative which I will discuss in this podcast, that aliens don’t exist. But if this is true, it opens up another perhaps bigger issue: How do we explain the numerous sightings of UFOs, some of which seem quite credible? Now the vast majority of them are either fake or can be explained away as natural phenomena. Or in the case of the sensationalized discovery of the remains of a destroyed alien spacecraft in 1947 by personnel from the Roswell …
FOLLOW OUR PODCAST ON (search opentheword): PODCAST NOTES: We live in interesting times. We have atheists, who refuse to believe in God, because they claim there is no scientific evidence He exists, but according to a 2021 Pew Survey, 55% of atheists and agnostics do believe in aliens, even though there is no evidence that they exist. It seems that atheists have faith after all. They believe in little green men. Hi, my name is Dean Smith, and in this first of a two-part series, I want to address the growing controversy today — UFOs. Almost daily, we see news stories about the latest person who claims to have encountered an unidentified flying object and in a few instances actual aliens. Certainly, many people claim to have seen UFOs, but many question if aliens actually exist because of a lack of credible evidence, such as an alien spacecraft or even an alien body. One of the major themes of the mega-hit movie, Independence Day, was that the US military actually has the remains of Aliens …
In this podcast, I ask, have you built a Bodiam stronghold in your mind? Bodiam Castle, located in South East England in the county of Kent, is one of Britain’s more popular castles because of its massive size and very photogenic moat.
In this podcast, I discuss my official nominee for the Pharaoh that Moses had the 10 plague showdown with when he led the Hebrews out of Egypt to the Promised Land.
FOLLOW OUR PODCAST ON (search opentheword): PODCAST NOTES: Hi, my name is Dean Smith and in this podcast, I want to talk about the appearance of the Spirit of Jezebel in the end times. There is a theory circulating among those who study end-times theology, that as we near Christ’s second return we are going to see a revival of the ancient gods who once plagued Israel. This is the premise of Jonathan Cahn’s book, The Return of the Gods, where Cahn argues that we may not necessarily see Baal idols popping up around the world, but rather the spirits behind these idols will try to reassert themselves. Though these idols were typically manufactured out of wood, clay or stone to represent various gods, the Hebrews understood that there was more going on than just idol worship as there were demonic and evil spirits behind these gods. We read in Deuteronomy: “They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods; with abominations they provoked him to anger. They sacrificed to demons that were no gods, to …
FOLLOW OUR PODCAST ON (search opentheword): PODCAST NOTES: Hi, my name is Wayne Johnston, and today on this podcast, I want to talk about the BIG Test. Anyone who has ever had to do a final exam in high school, college, university or tech school, knows how much fun they can be. Sick to your stomach. Headaches. Tired from cramming and OD’ing on Red Bull or coffee. But what if you were told you didn’t have to take your big final exam, and they just decided you were good enough that they were going to give you your diploma without it. Now I know personally of people who would say, ‘Wow’, I dodged a bullet and say thank you, and they would never look back. Me, maybe you, would always second guess yourself, and wonder if you really made it, if you are really well bona fide. Testing by God, may not be fun either, but it is never to destroy us, it is to prove us, even to ourselves, that we are well bona …
FOLLOW OUR PODCAST ON (search opentheword): PODCAST NOTES: Hi, my name is Dean Smith and in this podcast, I want to share the remarkable healing of a three-month-old baby girl in Corpus Christi, Texas, reported by Shawn Akers for Charisma News. Britany Garza’s took her daughter, Saveah to a local hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas after someone accidentally upended her daughter’s stroller. But when Saveah started having seizures, she was immediately transferred to the Dricoll Children’s Hospital, where scans revealed the seriousness of Saveah’s condition. They not only found bleeding in Saveah’s brain, but she also had two broken ribs and a broken collar bone. Britany turned to a friend who attended New Life Church in Corpus Christi pastored by Mike and Bonnie Fehlauer. When Adrienne received Britany’s text, she was at a youth group meeting being led by Mario Carrete, the church’s youth pastor. Adrienne asked Carrete if he would go with her to the hospital and pray for Saveah. After arriving at the hospital, Carrete told Britany that he was “going to pray …

But in all these healings only once did Jesus ask if a person was healed. It was like the Holy Spirit was planting a massive neon sign beside this healing to tell us it was different and we need to keep an eye on this miracle because there was more going on here than meets the eye. And it wasn’t until a couple of thousand years later that a strange thing happened that would turn this miraculous healing on its head. A few months back, someone by th,e name of Jimmy Cricket, obviously a pseudonym, made a comment on one of my YouTube videos. I have no idea who this person was, …
In this podcast, I talk about our secret thoughts. The things we secretly think about ourselves. Many of us have secrets. Things we think, but have never told anyone. We secretly wonder if God really loves us, or if God loves others more than you.
I read an interesting article a while back on CBN entitled Holy Spirit Outpouring by Vernell Windsor where she talked about a church service she attended in North Carolina with a friend. During the service, she became so drunk in the Spirit, that she could no longer stand and was crawling around on her hands and knees.
In Hebrews 4:16, we are encouraged to come boldly into the throne room of grace when we pray, that we may obtain help in our time of need. In this podcast, I want to hopefully explain what it means to pray boldly.

FOLLOW OUR PODCAST ON (search opentheword): Apple Podcasts Stitcher Spotify Google Play IHeartRadio TuneIn Podchaser PODCAST NOTES: In this podcast, I discuss the several times that Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened nuclear war since his invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. These threats even included two Russian fighter jets that briefly flew into Swedish airspace armed with nuclear warheads on March 2, 2022. But this leads to a bigger question: Do any of the Bible’s prophets predict nuclear war will be part of the end-times apocalypse? I believe there are several prophecies that suggest this may happen, and I will look at two of them. One of them comes from a vision given to the Prophet Zechariah (Zechariah 14:12), and the second from the Apostle John, found in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 8:10-11), John’s written record of a vision he received describing the events that will lead up to the second coming of Christ.

In this podcast, I discuss the several mentions of giants found throughout the Old Testament. Of course, atheists, and their ilk, enjoy mocking the Bible and the Christian faith because of these giants, referring to them as little more than myths. But is there any historical and archaeological evidence that these giants existed.
In this podcast, I want to talk about arguably the greatest cover-up of the meaning of a Bible verse in the history of the Bible. And this misinterpretation has an odd connection to an important prophetic event, the Tabernacle of David.

It is generally believed that the Roman Catholic church made December 25 the day of Christ's birth to replace a pagan holiday. But that may not have been the case. In fact, Christ's birthday was probably tied to the Feast of Annunciation.
We are living in perilous times as governments of all political stripes seem intent on restricting people’s liberties and freedoms, either under the guise of protecting us from COVID or banning speech that some consider offensive, because it disagrees with their beliefs. In this podcast, I discuss the Septuagint’s odd translation of a Bible verse in Deuteronomy that may help explain why this is happening.

Well it happened to me recently and involved an incident of something that took place probably 45 years ago. It was the 1970s. I was in my twenties and driving an old Rambler station wagon. It was a dusty grey colour, probably 15 years old when I bought it. But along with my Toyota Previa, was the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned. I was just saved and attending a young people’s Hippy church, a Jesus People church, where everyone had long hair, including the girls. Back then, I had hair past my shoulders and one of my friends had hair down to his waist. And today, I have sadly resorted to shaving my head, because I am basically bald. It’s very sad. Anyway, I had put …

In this podcast, I discuss one of the worst chapter breaks in the Bible and how it has the potential to profoundly impact your relationship with God.

Hi my name is Dean Smith and in this podcast I want to talk about a verse in 2 Chronicles 20:20, that reads, "Believe His prophets, and you will prosper" and how this verse was misused by people prophesying that Donald Trump would win a second term as US president.

Hi my name is Dean Smith and in this podcast, I want to talk about the day in 1995, when God needed to use super-grace. On Sept. 2, 2020, I was surprised to hear about the passing of Duch, pronounced Dook. He was one of the most brutal mass murders of the past century. And I guess by definition that makes him one of the most notorious Christians of that era as well.
Hi my name is Dean Smith and in this podcast, I want to talk about conquering exaggerated fear.

Hi my name is Dean Smith, and in this podcast I am asking: Are you ready to cross over to the other side of faith?

Several years ago, my wife and I invited a newly married Christian couple over to our home. I have no idea what we are talking about. I vaguely remember it was about church — but this is important — it wasn’t anything serious. It was just a casual conversation. It wasn’t about anyone or anything. Suddenly, the husband exploded in absolute rage. Anger poured out of him like hot lava. We were shocked. His wife looked at him with her mouth wide open. After things subsided a bit, I asked him why he was so upset by what we were talking about. He sheepishly looked at me, shrugged his shoulders, and said “I don’t know.” Something in what we said triggered him. It could have been a single word or phrase. But whatever it was it unleashed a torrent of rage. …

FOLLOW OUR PODCASTS ON: Itunes Stitcher Spotify Google Play IHeartRadio TuneIn Podchaser PODCAST NOTES: Hi my name is Dean Smith and in this podcast, I want to discuss the question: Does how we think, affect how we age? But first let me ask you a question: At what age does a person officially become old? So what age did you pick? A recent survey of 2,000 Americans commissioned by LetsGetChecked asked that very question. This survey concluded that you are officially old when you turn 57. When I read the number I was absolutely shocked and also concerned because if we think we are old at just 57, could this potentially impact our aging process? As well, they provided some top indicators that you have officially reached old age. 39% listed an increased concern about health. 36% said more wrinkles. 35% listed grey hair And perhaps what was most disturbing is that 34% said hair loss. Good grief I was losing hair by the time I was 30. But in England, a similar survey of …
In this podcast I will be discussing a strange, and I mean really strange, word of knowledge that helped win arguably one of the most important hockey games in Canada’s history.
Follow our podcasts on: Itunes Stitcher Spotify Google Play IHeartRadio TuneIn Podchaser PODCAST NOTES: Hi my name is Dean Smith and in this Easter podcast I want to answer the top theological question of the day, namely how many crosses did Jesus die on? Now here is the strange thing, most Christians, and I even include myself in this, at times believe Jesus actually died on two crosses. The Gospel of John tells us that Jesus was crucified along with two other men, and that Jesus was on the middle cross with the two criminals on either side of him. But most Christians believe that sometime in the middle of one of those nights that Jesus hung on the cross for our sins, God switched the Lord to one of the other crosses. And what is even more incredible, the disciples, who had been absolutely traumatized by the Lord’s crucifixion, didn’t even notice and never recorded this switch in the Bible. I know this sounds strange, but this is what most Christians believe. Of course, …

Follow our podcasts on: Itunes Stitcher Spotify Google Play IHeartRadio TuneIn Podchaser PODCAST NOTES: Hi my name is Dean Smith and in this podcast I want to talk about the concept of binding the strongman and how it played a major role in a significant revival that took place in Argentina in the 1950s. In Luke chapter 11, the Gospel writer describes how the Pharisees were put in the awkward position of having to explain how Jesus had the power to cast out demons, an ability that the Pharisees and scribes did not have. So they came up with a rather stupid and bizarre explanation, that Jesus was casting the demons out by the power of Beelzebul, who Luke describes as a prince of the demons (Luke 11:15). This description also hints of a hierarchy in the demonic realm with higher and lower level demons. Jesus quickly countered this by explaining how stupid the idea was. How would the satanic realm survive if it was divided against itself? Jesus then goes into a teaching on …
In this podcast I will answer that question burning in everyone’s mind, what did Yahweh hot dogs and Dorcas have that King Jehoram didn’t have?

A few days before Christmas, and my wife and I were out doing my most favorite past-time at Christmas, returning an item we had bought a few days earlier when we saw a brightly decorated yard that not only included an inflatable Santa and reindeer but also a six-foot inflatable red and green dragon. When did dragons become a Christmas decoration? Well believe it or not there is a dragon in one of the Christmas stories recorded in the Bible. It is just not a story we often recite a Christmas.
In this podcast, I give my opinion about whom I think the two-prophetic witnesses are that are mentioned in the Book of Revelation. If I am right, it may be bad news if you believe in the pre-trib rapture.
In this podcast, I ask the question: Are you rejecting yourself? Many of have been rejected in the past and suffer from emotional wounds surrounding the rejection. But Jesus not only heals people of physical diseases but emotional woundings as well.

One question that has lurked at the back of my mind is this: Does the Bible warn of Nuclear war in the end times?

In this podcast we look at three Bible passages that suggest there will be a nuclear war during the end times.
In this podcast entitled A Failure to Equip, I want to talk about a major shift that needs to take place in the church and its strange connection to square dancing. Yes, I am talking about the "dosado, allemande right" square dancing.
Follow our podcasts on: Itunes Stitcher Spotify Google Play IHeartRadio TuneIn Podchaser PODCAST NOTES: I made an unusual purchase the other day. I bought the Ark of the Covenant. Hi my name is Dean Smith and in this podcast I want to talk about the mysterious disappearance of the Ark of the Covenant and the ancient conspiracy theories that swirled around at the time because of its disappearance. The Ark was a gold-plated box with two winged cherubim that sat inside the Tabernacle of Moses, the Tabernacle of David and lastly the Temple in Jerusalem. Between the two Cherubim rested the very presence of God and because of this, the Ark is referred to as God’s throne on earth. Of course, what I bought was a miniature replica about 4” x 2.5” in size proportional to the original which was 4’ by 2.5’. But the similarity stops there, because I am pretty sure for $21.77 Canadian, my replica is not gold-plated like the original, but other than that it looks kind of neat. The top …

When Jesus pulled Peter out of water after his failed attempt to walk on water, the Lord said Peter had 'little faith.' I think we have misunderstood the concept of "little faith" and we need to understand it in light of the "great faith" of the Phoenician woman. These two stories are connected.
Many people have an unhealthy fear of failure and because of this will not take risks. Often we do this because we personalize our failures. In the Gospels, Jesus addressed the fear of failure and how it holds people back from accomplishing what God has for them.
In the Gospels, Jesus gave His disciples authority and power, yet so many Christians walk around today like beaten puppies. In this podcast, we explain the authority of the believer.
