The Wrestling Room: Recent Episodes
Russell De Vos
Candid, straight-forward Bible teaching that wrestles with practical issues and questions about God, ourselves, the meaning of life, the future, life after death, and much more. Welcome to the Wrestling Room!
Many believers HAVE given, ARE giving and WILL give their lives to remain loyal to King Jesus! Jesus warned that this would be the case, and it certainly has been, is, and will be in the future!
What is the mindset of someone who says, "Take my life! I will NOT deny Jesus!"?? What gives them the courage to do this?
Are you ready to give your life to remain loyal to our Great King, Jesus?
What is the Mindset of a Martyr for Jesus?
This channel is about Spiritual and Personal Growth...and REAL CHANGE! It's about wrestling with God. It's about TAKING ACTION and Surrendering COMPLETELY to King Jesus!

THIS will push the Devil's "RAGE" BUTTON more than ANYTHING! PERIOD! He'd rather have you go to a religious meeting, read a religious book, even attend church! He DOES NOT want you to make a habit, a routine, a LIFESTYLE out of PRAYING! Consistent, fervent, fiery, faith-filled prayer is what CRUSHES HIM! He'd rather keep you busy doing religious things!
This is truly a Spiritual Weapon in our arsenal! A 2nd Weapon that we have to fight with is set apart blocks of prayer dedicated specifically to battle in prayer!

We've all made excuses for WHY we don't pray or DON'T LIKE TO PRAY or don't KNOW HOW to pray. Well, this short video begins a bit of "training" in how to pray.
In 1 Timothy 2:1, the Master Warrior, Paul, describes 4 distinct types of prayer, each one a weapon in our arsenal that we need to be aware of and trained in!
Here is weapon #1: Spontaneous Prayer! Just talking with Jesus on and off all day...for anything, about anything...an ongoing conversation...a continual connection w/ the Source.

What is our best WEAPON against the evil in these extraordinarily DARK days leading up to Jesus' 2nd Coming? One clear answer: PRAYER! Passionate, fiery, faith-filled, frequent PRAYER!
Jesus modeled it, Paul declared it, and this teaching reminds us of it!
We've got to take a serious look at our prayer lives! How are we doing? Is prayer a TOP PRIORITY in our lives, or are we simply casual about it? I trust this short clip from "How to Pray POWERFULLY in these Evil Last Days" will challenge and inspire you to PRAYER!
God has given us a FREE WILL. This gives us the option of how we react to hard times and adverse circumstances. The vast majority grumble, complain and become bitter. The vast majority. I've been in that camp FAR TOO OFTEN!
But there is a BETTER way...a MUCH BETTER way!
In this snippet from "2 Keys to Standing Strong in Adversity", I share some insights into how you can USE adversity to make you BETTER, not BITTER!

Life is full of adversity...conflict...struggle...TROUBLE! That is reality. And in our adversity we can become BETTER or we can become BITTER.
It is our CHOICE.
In this snippet from "2 Keys to Standing Strong in Adversity" (1 Samuel 30:1-6) I share 3 ugly results of choosing BITTERNESS when we are going through adversity! It is a strong warning and motivation NOT to go there! There is another much better option (See Rewind 19).

Many people believe that there is very little difference between Jesus, Buddha and many other spiritual teachers who have walked the planet...that they all basically talked about love, treating each other well, forgiveness, tolerance, etc...
How many times have you heard that "all religions are pretty much the same"? ALL THE TIME! But is it true?
Not even close! Jesus DID teach about love and forgiveness...and He EMBODIED both of these topics unlike anyone else in history. But He did not spend the bulk of His time teaching about them.
What WAS the MAIN THEME of Jesus' teaching? What did He talk about more than anything else? What did He charge out gates preaching? What did He want His listeners to understand and respond to more than anything else?
It was RADICALLY DIFFERENT than you might think, and certainly different than any other teacher who ever lived!
Find out what it was in this teaching! It may surprise you. Most Christians have NO IDEA.

When Jesus comes a 2nd time, He will be SPECTACULAR...but He will ALSO be SCARRED! It blows my mind to realize that Jesus will bear the scars of His brutal death FOR ETERNITY! We will NEVER forget the price that He paid for our freedom!
Jesus will be our ETERNALLY SCARRED King! Amazing. So humbling!

Jesus came as a baby the 1st time...born in a manger, raised in a hick-town, a carpenter, a common man with nothing special about him physically.
Not so the 2nd time. Oh...SO NOT SO the 2nd time!
When Jesus comes a 2nd time, He will blow our minds! He will come in FULL GLORY...the same glory that stunned bombastic Peter silent and knocked the Apostle John to the ground, face down!
Friends, if you think the Marvel characters are impressive, just wait until you see Jesus! It will be no contest! I'm chuckling and shaking my head with a big, ol' grin just thinking about it!
Jesus will be SPECTACULAR!!

Many people imagine Jesus as a sort of feminine hippie, walking about handing out daisies, talking about free love, peace, non-violence, inclusivity, and tolerance.
Oh, this is SO NOT the case!
Jesus WAS Lamb-like...the only 2 words that He ever used to describe Himself were "humble and gentle", BUT...He was most definitely Lion-like as well! He was truly a warrior!
Jesus gave His life in a bloody and brutal way, but while He was on this planet, He was never pushed around or bullied. He made it clear: "No man takes my life from me. I lay it down of my own free will...I CHOOSE to lay it down!" Jesus was not murdered or martyred. He was SACRIFICED by His own choice, in obedience to His Father...FOR US!
Jesus is like no other to walk this planet! This teaching touches on just a few reasons why I follow Him with immense joy and healthy pride! I am PROUD of my King! He is a Humble, Gentle SAVAGE!

When most people are down, they look around frantically for someone to prop them up, cheer them up, bring them up. They don't realize that God has given them the ability to encourage themselves...to speak life-giving words to their own ears and infuse themselves with courage!
The warrior, David, demonstrates this practice in a very dark moment of his life, and shows us that this same practice is possible for us as well! We CAN encourage ourselves in the Lord. Here's how...

God has worked through women in mighty and powerful ways!
Bottom line: Women are awesome! No faith has elevated and honored women more than Christianity!
But, the Messiah, the Deliverer could not be a woman. The Savior HAD to be a MAN.
Why?
Find out what the Bible says in this short clip from the teaching "What Will Jesus Look Like?"

Satan is a filthy liar...and, in jealousy, spite and hatred, he has attacked not only Jesus' Deity and Humanity, but also His Manhood!
False teachers and heretics, inspired by the Serpent's deceitful hiss, portray Jesus as a feminized man, a bi-sexual man, a half-man...and other perverted and twisted identities.
What does the Bible teach? Well, it's not fuzzy, it's not mysterious, it's not hidden. It is CRYSTAL CLEAR!
Listen to find out what the Bible says!

Christianity is ALL about a PERSON! JESUS! Period. End of story!
When our faith ceases to be solely and entirely about the Savior of the World, KING JESUS, we are in BIG TROUBLE! It is only a matter of time before we will sink under some sort of wave!

Life can be BRUTAL! Yet, so many Christians believe that they have to plaster on that fake "Praise Jesus" smile and pretend that everything is "blessed" even though they are deeply struggling inside.
Is that true? NO! In Psalm 55:17, David reveals to us a side of God that should cause us to jump up and do the "Hallelujah dance."
God is easier to live with than we would have ever thought! We can vent on Him!
Check it out...

Scripture teaches us to "Cast our burdens upon the Lord"...but why do that when I can struggle with them? Why pass them to Jesus when I can beat my brains out trying to carry them myself?
This is what I do so often, and it begs the question: Is God my SOURCE or is He my "back-up plan...my last ditch effort...my emergency exit"?

Asaph was confused and struggling. He was a man of God, but he had been observing the "easy" lives of the rich, famous, powerful and unbelieving...and had concluded (falsely) that following God was foolish and futile...a waste of his time...BECAUSE he was trusting in what he SAW with his EYES! Bad choice, Asaph!
But...Can you identify with Asaph?? I certainly can! Thankfully, he "pulled up the plane" before flying straight into the mountain of doubt and unbelief! Check it out...

"PRIEST"---What comes to your mind when you hear that word? The Catholic Church? The Pope? A guy in long robes and a collar of some sort?
Here's the deal: If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, YOU are a priest or priestess! This is who YOU are! It is YOUR IDENTITY as a believer!
What???? Yes!! That is a fact! So you better know what your role and responsibilities are, wouldn't you agree??
So, what does a priest or priestess DO? Hint: God has given you PEOPLE to care for...people in your circle of influence to SERVE.
Check out this teaching and get the details!

Before the 2nd Coming of Jesus there will be a Mass Exodus...a Great Defection...AWAY FROM Jesus and The Foundational Doctrines of The Faith...TO a "new and improved" version of Jesus who comes with "relevant and socially inclusive" beliefs and "truths." This Apostasy is one of the major prophetic events just before the end of time as we know it on this planet. Why? What is going on to cause this? The Answer: A Great Deception! Just as Satan deceived Eve in the beginning, he will be deceiving right to the end...only it will be the most intense deception of his diabolical career! Deception will pervade every nook and cranny of the planet...luring people away from Jesus and to Doctrines of Demons. It will be a wild time. In this teaching I share 7 Signs that the Bible indicates will be present in the world...leading to this mass defection...so that you can be on the lookout for them in your own life. You don't want to be one of the defectors! This message is a WARNING to be alert...watchful...vigilant to keep your own heart and mind free from these insidious factors that would even try to sway and derail loyal followers of Jesus. _____________________________________________________ This channel is about Spiritual and Personal Growth...and REAL CHANGE!

Teaching about the 2nd Coming of Jesus has endured both Omission AND Confusion. Many churches don't talk about this Epic Event! This is tragic! It is like an engagement without a wedding...an NFL season without a Super Bowl...on an infinitely grander scale! And when it IS taught--AND IT ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE--there is frequently confusion and misinformation...despite the fact that many details of this great event are clear and evident! So...in Part 1 of this teaching I: 1. Revealed the 8 major Movements/Events of History and the 1 thing they ALL have in common. 2. Gave 3 Reasons why Satan, your Adversary, does not want you watching this video or studying this topic. 3. Gave 2 very important Clarifications about the Earthly ministry of Jesus. In Part 2 of this teaching I: 1. Give 2 vital Clarifications about the 2nd Coming of Jesus AND, as the bulk of the teaching... 2. Give 6 Differences between the Rapture of the Church BY Jesus AND the Revealing of Jesus TO the world. You will leave this 2-part teaching CLEAR about the details of Jesus 2nd Coming, and FIRED UP for the events of Jesus 2nd Coming! My prayer is that this teaching will fill your heart with HOPE, with a desire for HOLINESS, and with a Supreme HAPPINESS because you now know the END OF THE STORY!! ____________________________________________________ This channel is about Spiritual and Personal Growth...and CHANGE!

Question: Will those who believe in Jesus at the last second be taken to Heaven? The Bible has some fascinating things to say. Answer: I address this from 5 angles: 1. The "Gate" is OPEN...the "Draw Bridge" is DOWN...the opportunity to place faith in Jesus and receive forgiveness for sins and adoption into God's family is being offered...BUT not for long! 2. There will be MANY "11th Hour" people who "squeak in" right at the last second. 3. God is relentlessly pursuing "Lost Sheep" right till the final buzzer. 4. On a Scale of 1-10, how passionate are you about sharing your faith? 5. Warning: Don't play Spiritual Musical Chairs or Repentance Roulette! Don't play games with God! Get right with Him TODAY! _____________________________________________________ This channel is about Spiritual and Personal Growth...and CHANGE! It's about wrestling with God and with ourselves.

What I’m Learning, Episode #3: How to Pray POWERFULLY in these LAST DAYS: 4 Weapons in your Prayer Arsenal The world is hurtling and careening down the highway of history right into the book of Revelation! While the masses have been distracted by pandemics and wars, masks and mandates, vaccines and lockdowns, the prophecies of Daniel, Ezekiel, 1, 2 Thessalonians and Revelation are being fulfilled.

Q & A: Episode #2--"What Will Jesus Look Like?" What DID Jesus look like when He came the 1st time? What WILL Jesus look like when He comes the 2nd time?
The Bible has a lot more to say about this than I realized. It's actually quite fascinating! In this teaching I ASK and ANSWER: Was Jesus' HUMAN BODY just a ghost...a phantom...or an illusion? Was Jesus a BI-SEXUAL, as some psychologists and theologians claim? Why wasn't the Savior a WOMAN? What will the RISEN Jesus look like? *What PHYSICAL TRAIT will Jesus display for all of eternity? What does the Bible say about all this?

"What I'm Learning", Episode #1--Wait a Minute...God says I'm WHAT??? As believers, we often fail to realize WHO God has called us to be and HOW God sees us. It is amazing...awesome...inspiring...challenging! We are often living FAR BELOW who we really are! In this short teaching I share some things that I am learning about WHO I AM as a believer in Jesus, and how this identity will influence HOW I LIVE as a believer! ________________________________________________________________________________________ This channel is about Spiritual and Personal Growth...and CHANGE!

Why do some people live like Hell, but seem to have "Heaven on earth" AND every advantage in life? Are they "beating the system?" Are they getting away with it? Asaph, the worship leader of Israel, almost lost his faith watching evil people prosper...while he was following God and suffering for it. Do evil people get away with the terrible things that they do? What does the Bible say? In this teaching through Psalm 73, I reveal 5 things about the future of the wicked. ________________________________________________________________________________________ This podcast is about Spiritual and Personal Growth...and CHANGE!

IF YOU HAVE EVER THOUGHT: Why would God EVER want to use me? I’ve got nothing special to offer God! IF YOU HAVE EVER FELT insignificant or weak or incompetent or clumsy... …THIS TEACHING IS FOR YOU! God uses very COMMON people to do UNCOMMON things! He uses very ORDINARY people to do very EXTRA-ORDINARY things! This is God's way! And it is upside down from the way we think! BUT...there is ONE INGREDIENT…ONE FACTOR…that is absolutely necessary to turn COMMON to UNCOMMON…ORDINARY to EXTRA-ORDINARY…and there is NO SUBSTITUTE for it!

Wherever there is a Real, there is almost always a Counterfeit, and a Counterfeit always points to a Real! This is certainly true in the religious world. This was certainly illustrated by Judas Iscariot. Judas looked good, performed beautifully, blended in with the Real disciples masterfully...BUT was a Counterfeit...a faker...a poser...a "plant" by the Enemy...and was responsible for the greatest betrayal in history. In this teaching, I share 3 Facts about Judas...The Prediction of Judas, the Position of Judas and the Perdition of Judas. He is a warning to all of us who profess to know and follow Jesus!

Failure! Shame! Condemnation! Many, many people have been knocked down by these things! They have fallen down and don't know how to stand back up, and are living under a perpetual black cloud--fixated upon and paralyzed by their failure. What do we do when we have failed and feel absolutely disqualified...worthless...off the team--and our faith is in the ditch? How do we get back up? And then, how do we remain standing, when, inevitably we know we will fail and fall... AGAIN? Is there any hope of ever getting off of this foul hamster wheel? Yes. Yes there is hope! Much hope! I tackle this topic and answer these questions in this teaching from Acts 1:15 and Romans 5:1,2.

What you focus on GROWS! Who you concentrate on will begin to influence and control you. That said, people we love and trust will FAIL and ABANDON us. This is a HARD REALITY of life! And often we FIXATE on these people, and become BITTER and CYNICAL...AND it deeply affects all areas of our life, but particularly our faith. In this teaching I warn of a person that you must not fixate on, and point you to a resource available to all followers of Jesus, powerfully enabling you to maintain a STRONG FAITH, despite the weakness and failure of others in your life.

British Preacher, Joseph Parker declared a century ago: “The days are evil; evil days create OPPORTUNITIES for God-sent men and women!” But as legendary College basketball coach, John Wooden said: “When opportunity comes, it's too late to prepare!” We must be ready NOW for extraordinary days! Our faith is going to be tested like never before! Our lives are going to be shaken in ways we’ve never experienced! In Part 2 of this 3-part series, I give 2 more steps necessary to take if you are going to be ready and prepared spiritually for the days to come. These are VITAL! Without these 2 steps, you will become a target of the devil, and a likely casualty of the faith. With these 2 steps in place, your chances of thriving go up exponentially!

What separates GOOD from GREAT? What separates a COMPETITOR from a CHAMPION? What separates someone who MAKES AN IMPACT from one who just MAKES A SHOWING? The Answer: PREPARATION! "The Separation is in the Preparation." Jesus is building His church. This is a done deal. It's happening. The question is: will you be part of it? The Bible says: "The horse is PREPARED for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord." In this teaching, I share the first 2 of 6 steps that the 120 disciples in the upper room took to prepare themselves for spiritual battle...for working, battling, even suffering...for Jesus! They might surprise you. They are all simple and doable...but many people don't take these steps, and are never truly used by God. And, thus, the principle is true: The Separation is in the Preparation. My hope and prayer is that you will choose to be great for Jesus, and will put these 2 action steps into practice immediately.

We live in 2 Dimensions of time: Seasons and Snapshots...Months and Moments. Each has its own purpose, each builds one upon the other, and God works differently in each dimension. In order to be an intelligent believer and not a religious fool, you must know how to work with God in each dimension. In this teaching, I give 6 simple and practical tips to prevent you from wasting your life in foolishness and frustration, squandering BOTH the seasons AND the snapshots of your life...and, in contrast, how to wisely and strategically scoop up the amazing investment opportunities that God orchestrates for our lives in BOTH dimensions. This is truly the stuff of life! We have to know this if we want to live successfully! I also conclude with a prophecy update, revealing why the time of Jesus' 2nd Coming is at the door, and how we are to live as a result.

God holds the Universal Stop Watch in one hand, and the Universal Calendar in the other. He is in complete and total control of Time and the Events of Time. He is the Final Authority in the Realm of Time. The major question for you and I, then, is: Whose agenda runs your life...God's or your own? Who or what influences the way you use your time? Who is the Master of your calendar?
This is not a trivial question. It is the final point of accountability for our lives here in this realm of time. We will answer to Jesus for our calendars, for they reveal our priorities, our values, our affections, our focus...who or what we worship.
In this teaching, I also talk about the fascinating Principle of "Stoppage Time" and how it impacts the Universal Stop Watch, similar to a soccer game, and what is the "X-factor" influencing Stoppage Time.
Finally, as a warning to us all, I observe the Rich Fool, who had a very faulty "finish line" for his life, and who serves as an example NOT to follow.

In the Realm of TIME, God the Father, ALONE, holds the Universal clock. TIME is His jurisdiction. He is the FINAL Authority!
As a result, setting dates and making predictions is an exercise in foolishness and futility. It is a waste of time. But...though SETTING DATES is not our job, SWAYING dates IS! As followers of Jesus, how we live our lives influences TIME!
Amazingly, God the Father has given us the power and ability to sway, to influence, to impact the time of Jesus' 2nd Coming and the End of the Age that we are living in...with all of it's pain and suffering!
Your life matters far more than you likely realize!

“Wait” is a 4-letter word in our culture! We live in a world that wants things NOW! We want the job, career, mate, home, financial stability, toys, vacations, freedom…as quickly as possible...with AS LITTLE EFFORT or INCONVENIENCE, or DISCOMFORT or SACRIFICE or PAIN as possible!
BUT...that is NOT how God's world works. HE IS ON THE CROCK-POT PLAN—LOW AND SLOW--NOT THE MICROWAVE PLAN!
In this teaching I share 3 responses for those times when God has you in a holding pattern and you feel like your life is on "Pause."

God does not simply dispense His PRICELESS POWER and PRESENCE to everyone who has their hand out. Jesus sends the Holy Spirit very specifically, carefully and discriminately. Jesus discriminates when it comes to whom He gives His precious Holy Spirit and His power. The Baptism with power is available for EVERYONE, BUT not GIVEN TO EVERYONE! There are CONDITIONS…REQUIREMENTS…STEPS OF PREPARATION before He will give this precious gift!
Normal Christianity is powerful, impactful, disruptive! It has been said that "Christianity today is so subnormal, that if any Christian began to act like a normal New Testament Christian, he would be considered abnormal.” People would call them a "fanatic"!
What is Normal Christianity? What marked the members of the brand new church? How did the Baptism of the Holy Spirit change them, mark them, distinguish them?
Discover 8 Characteristics that marked the new believers, and should mark us today as well!
Do you feel spiritually weak? Do you ever wonder why your experience as a believer in Jesus often seems powerless and lacking spiritual horse power?? Bible Knowledge and Spiritual zeal are great, but they are not enough to live this Christian life and get the mission of Jesus accomplished. It is a great start, but is only a start. We need Power... Power greater than our own. And Jesus promised that He would pour it out on us.
The Holy Spirit appears 43 times in the Book of Acts, and He could be considered the Main Character! But many don't even know anything about the 3rd Person of the Godhead. They have a very vague idea of Who He is and What He does, but don't know Him. Well, let me introduce you to the Holy Spirit!
The Great Reset of the planet is being talked about, blogged about, podcasted about and hotly debated. But this Reset is old news...a "wanna be" reset. The authentic Great Reset has been in progress for over 2,000 years...and has radically altered the planet, and billions of lives...and continues to do so!
Book of Acts, Week 6: Many people, even Christians, really don't know who Jesus was and is, nor do they realize that He had a very specific message and mission that overwhelmingly directed and dominated His ministry. I know that I was unaware! Most think that He taught primarily about love and forgiveness. That is not the case. He was gentle and humble, but His agenda was specific, focused and non-negotiable. Before Jesus could hand the baton of leadership to the early church, He had to be certain that their agenda, their mission and their priorities were the same as His. The same applies to you and I today...

Book of Acts, Week 5: We only SEE what we want to SEE and HEAR what we want to HEAR. We don't perceive things the way they are...and then, because we don't understand something, we make an ASSUMPTION. You do this, I do this, we all do this...and the disciples certainly did this. And Jesus had to correct their faulty perceptions and assumptions BEFORE He handed off the leadership of the most dynamic movement that the world has ever known.

Book of Acts, Week 4: If you would have walked in on the followers of Jesus the day after His crucifixion, you would have walked into a physical fog of depression and despair. They were beaten down and broken, dazed and confused, in utter disbelief. They had staked EVERYTHING on this teaching, preaching, miracle-working carpenter from Nazareth...but had just watched Him be slaughtered! Yet 50 days later, they were an army of world-beaters, turning the planet upside down! WHAT...HAD...HAPPENED?!!! What could have caused such a dramatic transformation...this utter metamorphosis?

Book of Acts, Week 3: Have you ever considered that the complete meltdown of the disciples just before Jesus' death was like the cold of winter making way for the new life of spring? Jesus died that brutal week-end in a brutal display. His death was Momentous, Pivotal, Crucial, Vital...there are not enough superlatives....BUT...He wasn't the only One who died. The disciples ALL "died" as well. And their death was ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for the explosive new life and growth of the infant church. Your own spiritual life today is directly linked Jesus' death AND their death. That's a radical claim, Check it out...

Book of Acts, Week 2: Over 2000 years ago, 120 people bet the farm on Jesus. They went ALL IN to follow Him...no holds barred. It would mean conflict, persecution, even their lives. Did they choose wisely?

Dark and difficult times are inevitable. Challenges will come, undoubtedly…many times out of the blue. How do you navigate those times? What strategy do you have to battle cynicism, depression, and even hopelessness?

What is the key to the Christian life? Why did the disciple, Peter, get out of the boat in the middle of the night, in the middle of the sea, in the middle of a raging storm? How was he able to walk on water? What does this have to with your life? The Christian faith is about one thing, and one thing only: Jesus. The Person of Jesus. Everything else is a distraction. Whether you are a water walker or a sinker has everything to do with the Person of Jesus.

Why do so many believers battle with fear? One major reason: their view of God is woefully inadequate. God is small in their minds, and therefore, their fears are BIG! But the God of the Bible is NOT small...He is BIG! He is a Warrior God...the Lord of Heaven's Armies...and He fights for us!
