Did I Commit the Unforgivable Sin? Understanding Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit

This episode explores Matthew 12 and uncovers the real difference between everyday blasphemy and blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Using the Pharisees’ response to Jesus’ miracle as the backdrop, the host shows how misidentifying God’s work as something dark creates a unique spiritual barrier—one rooted not in anger or confusion, but in a hardened refusal to recognize the Spirit.

At the same time, the episode reassures listeners that those who worry they’ve crossed an unforgivable line are precisely the ones who haven’t—and that there is far more hope, clarity, and mercy in this passage than most people realize.

Grieving the Old Self: When Transformation Hurts

This unscripted devotional speaks to anyone who has felt low in the midst of blessings, worn out from life’s demands, or grieving the person they once were.

In this episode, the speaker shares raw reflections on personal pain and the demanding, often uncomfortable journey of spiritual transformation.

Drawing on the stories of Moses, Gideon, and the disciples, this devotional explores the deep tension of letting go of familiar identities, trusting God’s leading, and learning to move forward—even when it hurts.

Fruit of the Spirit Series- Shalom in Speech: Living Temperance in a Loud World

This episode explores temperance as a branch of self-control, showing how mastery of the heart and tongue reflects Gods covenantal shalom.

It explains why our words matter, how gossip and judgment harm others, and how temperance guides moderation in desire and action as a practical fruit of the Spirit.

The episode connects self-control and temperance to loving God and loving your neighbor, and urges listeners to monitor both their speech about others and their self-talk.

When God Is Jealous: The Distinction Between Divine Jealousy and Human Jealousy

This episode explains what Scripture means when it calls God jealous: not human envy, but a righteous, covenantal zeal grounded in ownership, purpose, and love.

It contrasts divine jealousy with human jealousy, showing how God’s jealousy seeks restoration and faithfulness rather than possession.

Fruit of the Spirit Series- Anavah: Humility That Holds Glory

This episode explores anavah (Hebrew for humility) as a spiritual posture of inner surrender and right alignment with God, not mere modesty or self-deprecation.

It explains the Hebrew root meaning (to answer/respond), contrasts external appearances with soul-level surrender, and shows how true humility prepares us to receive and display God’s kavod (glory), using examples like Moses and Sinai.

Listeners are invited to live confidently under God’s authority—available, not diminished—so His power shines through ordinary lives.

The Key of David: Doors to the Kingdom, Not to Success

This unscripted episode examines Revelation 3:7 and explains that the “Key of David” refers to Yeshua’s authority to grant covenant access to God’s kingdom — not promises of earthly jobs, promotions, or material gain.

We unpack how Yeshua opens and closes doors of eternal belonging, call listeners to repent and embrace the rule and rest of God, and urge a return to preaching the gospel of transformation rather than comfort or convenience.

The Clash of Two Kingdoms Part II: Why Didn't God Kill Satan?

If God is all-powerful, all-loving, and fully sovereign—why didn’t He just destroy Satan from the beginning?

In Part II of The Clash of Two Kingdoms series, The Queen Bathsheba unpacks one of the most difficult and frequently asked theological questions in Christian thought. This episode doesn’t shy away from the tension—it leans into the divine wisdom behind the allowance of evil, the presence of free will, and the greater purpose behind God’s unfolding kingdom plan.

Listeners will be challenged to move beyond surface-level faith and step into a deeper understanding of God’s justice, patience, and eternal strategy. This episode pulls together biblical theology, covenant insight, and prophetic fulfillment to answer:

• What would happen to the legitimacy of free will if God annihilated Satan immediately?
• How is God’s justice magnified through delay, not haste?
• Why does God’s ultimate plan require a visible contrast between His kingdom and rebellion?
• What does Satan’s continued existence reveal about humanity’s role in the story?

 

This episode reveals that God’s decision was never about inability—it was about inheritance. God is raising sons and daughters who freely choose His rule, not out of fear—but out of love, truth, and covenant loyalty.

 

📖 Key Scriptures to Study:

• Genesis 2–3 – The fall and the birth of choice
• Job 1–2 – God’s sovereign boundaries over Satan’s actions
• Romans 9:22–23 – “What if God… bore with great patience the objects of wrath…”
• 2 Peter 3:9 – “The Lord is not slow… but is patient…”
• Revelation 20:10 – The appointed time of Satan’s final judgment
• Hebrews 2:14–15 – Christ destroyed the one who had the power of death

 

🔥 Takeaway Quote:

“God didn’t lose control—He’s allowing the full weight of rebellion to play out…

so that when the Kingdom comes in fullness, there will be no question:

His justice is righteous. His judgment is final. His reign is eternal.”

 

💭 Reflection Challenge:

Are you more offended by God’s longsuffering or moved by His purpose?

Will you use your will to join the resistance—or reinforce the rebellion?

 

🎧 Tune In:

This isn’t just another apologetic answer—it’s a call to discernment, devotion, and dominion. Listen now and invite someone else wrestling with these deep questions to join the journey.

The Clash of Two Kingdoms Part I: Is Satan Really in Hell?

In this gripping installment of The Clash of Two Kingdoms series, The Queen Bathsheba takes listeners deep into a theological and scriptural journey—challenging one of the most widely held assumptions in Christian tradition: Is Satan really in hell right now?

 

For many, images of a red-skinned devil with horns ruling over a fiery underworld persist—but Scripture paints a different picture. This episode dismantles myth, explores biblical truth, and reframes our understanding of spiritual warfare, dominion, and judgment.

 

This isn’t just theology—it’s a wake-up call to recognize the current influence of the adversary in the world and the authority we’ve been given to resist him.

 

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Job 1:7 – “From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
• 1 Peter 5:8 – “Your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion…”
• Ephesians 2:2 – “The prince of the power of the air…”
• Revelation 12:9 – “That old serpent… was cast out into the earth…”
• Revelation 20:10 – “And the devil… was cast into the lake of fire…”
• Matthew 25:41 – “Everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.”
• Luke 10:18 – “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”

 

🧠 Devotional Highlights:

• Satan is not ruling from hell—he is active on earth, seeking whom he may devour.
• Hell is not his throne—it’s his sentence. Revelation shows that the lake of fire is his final destination, not his current location.
• He operates as an illegitimate power, working through systems, minds, and cultures to oppose God’s kingdom.
• Yeshua disarmed him, and through the cross and resurrection, believers are positioned not to fear the adversary—but to confront him in truth.
• This theological correction realigns spiritual warfare—we’re not fighting to escape the devil’s domain; we’re fighting to enforce Christ’s dominion.

 

Reflection Moment:

 

“If you think Satan is locked away in hell, you’ll underestimate the warfare around you.

But if you know the truth—you’ll stop running from him and start standing against him.”

 

Bathsheba invites listeners into a moment of sobering reflection and bold declaration:

 

“I will not be deceived.

I will not be silent.

I will not surrender my authority.

The kingdom of God has come,

and I will war with truth, not tradition.”

 

⚔️ Application Challenge:

This week, reflect on your spiritual posture:

1. Are you spiritually passive—thinking the enemy is already detained?
2. Or are you awake, alert, and armored—knowing the victory is won, but the battle still rages?

Action Step:

Begin each day praying Ephesians 6:10–18. Put on your spiritual armor with full awareness that we war not against flesh and blood—but against principalities and powers still at work until their judgment is final.

The Fruit of the Spirit Series- Divine Restraint: The Power of Longsuffering (Makrothumia)

What does it mean to be slow to anger in a world that moves fast to judgment?

How do we reflect God’s nature when we feel provoked, betrayed, or wronged?

And how do we distinguish righteous justice from the soul’s demand for revenge?

Longsuffering, or makrothumia in the Greek, is more than patience. It is mercy in motion. It is divine restraint. It is the kind of love that stays calm in the face of chaos—and leaves room for God to act. In this devotional, The Queen Bathsheba unpacks this powerful fruit of the Spirit with poetic insight, biblical truth, and a prophetic call to maturity.

 

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Galatians 5:22–23 – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering…”
• Exodus 34:6 – “The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering…”
• Romans 2:4 – “The goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance.”
• 2 Peter 3:9 – “The Lord is… longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish…”
• James 1:20 – “The wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.”
• Micah 6:8 – “To do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.”

 

🧠 Devotional Highlights:

• Longsuffering is not weakness—it is the strength to hold back anger, delay judgment, and make space for redemption.
• God Himself is longsuffering, not because He ignores sin, but because He desires restoration more than retribution.
• Retaliation satisfies the flesh; justice honors God. We must discern the difference.
• Being longsuffering does not mean being passive. It means we pursue justice righteously, without vengeance, through God-honoring action and truth.
• We are called to reflect God’s restraint in our leadership, our parenting, our advocacy, and even our silence.

 

 Reflection Moment:

“Where in your life is God inviting you to put your sword away?

Who are you being asked to bear with—not because they’re right,

but because your restraint reveals the character of Christ?”

 

The Queen Bathsheba leads listeners through a gentle moment of introspection, inviting the Holy Spirit to mature the fruit of longsuffering in us. In times of difficulty, reflect on the prayer below:

 

“I am not driven by anger.

I am not mastered by offense.

I move in mercy.

I carry the patience of heaven.

I will wait on the Lord and walk like Him.”

 

🧰 Application Challenge:

This week, when you are tempted to speak sharply, clap back, or correct in frustration:

1. Pause and breathe—ask, “Is this makrothumia or my flesh?”
2. Pray for the person, not about the problem.
3. Speak truth in love, but only when love leads the way.
