  Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8klceUIeps">0:00</a> - Intro<br>1. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8klceUIeps&amp;t=92">1:32</a> {Discerning the Spirit’s Voice} Is the confirmation of the Holy Spirit distinguishable from an evil demon or psychological self-deception? <br>2. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8klceUIeps&amp;t=1790">29:50</a> {Do We Give Off “Energy”?} Is “energy” in the esoteric form of the word biblical? I was recently told in a Christian forum that I was “giving off [blank] energy.” Is this biblical? <br>3. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8klceUIeps&amp;t=2196">36:36</a> {Who will Sit on the Thrones?} In Matthew 19: 28, Jesus states the 12 disciples will sit on 12/24 thrones in the regeneration. In Revelation 4:4, 24 elders are sitting on the thrones. Who are the other 12? <br>4. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8klceUIeps&amp;t=2348">39:08</a> {Proof of Transubstantiation?} If Jesus identifies Himself as “the Word” and Ezekiel literally ate the Word of God (Ezekiel 3:1-3), is this a good case for Ezekiel being an analogy to the Catholic transubstantiation of the Eucharist being true? <br>5. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8klceUIeps&amp;t=2848">47:28</a> {Tongues/Prophecy for Believers or Unbelievers?} Can you please explain 1 Corinthians 14: 22-24? Verse 22 states that tongues are a sign for unbelievers, and prophecy is for believers. But vv. 23 and 24 then go on to, seemingly, describe the exact opposite. <br>6. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8klceUIeps&amp;t=3057">50:57</a> {God’s Name in Vain} What does it mean to not mention God&apos;s name in vain? <br>7. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8klceUIeps&amp;t=3373">56:13</a> {The Spirit With, In &amp; Upon Us} When David is anointed in 1 Samuel 16, the Bible says that “the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward.” How would this be similar or different from us receiving the Spirit now? <br>8. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8klceUIeps&amp;t=3632">1:00:32</a> {Can a Pastor’s Wife be an Unbeliever?} Do the qualifications for pastors/elders in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9 disqualify a man who has an unbelieving wife? <br>9. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8klceUIeps&amp;t=4196">1:09:56</a> {About OT Quotes in the NT} How should we understand inerrancy for New Testament passages that appear to quote the Old Testament, but no clear reference can be found? (e.g., James 4:5, Matthew 2: 23). <br>10. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8klceUIeps&amp;t=4489">1:14:49</a> {Grieving our Loved Ones when Not Sure of Salvation} My mom just passed away and I am unsure of her salvation. I know she prayed with the hospital&apos;s chaplains. My kids ask if they will see her in Heaven. How do I talk to them about this?

  Im a 76 yr old retired &nbsp;female that is &nbsp;born again... saved... I live very remote in the mountains of Colorado off grid... Havin a wood burnin stove I need to go outside at nite to get wood... to keep my fire going... now ive lived this way for years in cowcamps... in several states as I was a paid rider for cow outfits most of those years I had a husband that also punched cows... we &nbsp;were a cow puncher team... both ridin for &nbsp;cowpuncher wages .. but alas he passed in 2006...went to be with the Lord. So here I am alone livin the way Ive always &nbsp;loved... But we have lions and bears, coyotes... and now wolves... where I live so sometimes at nite I do get a little unnerved goin out side at nite... though my Heeler goes with me... One nite it was especially dark and eirily quiet... I was prayin to Jesus on my way back to my cabin with my arm full of wood... about bears in the area. When a distinct voice told me so kindly &nbsp;dont &nbsp;worry about &nbsp;bear or lion ever again they &nbsp;will never enter your property. Have never even had a doubt that it was the Holy Spirit... As I&apos;ve asked angels to guard my property day and nite... But also have not had one fearful second since then... gettin wood. Now I go out to get wood in the darkest nights And enjoy the stars above and the quiet &nbsp;serenity with Abba God... The Holy Spirit is an awesome help and comforter in all times of doubt and &nbsp;fear and troubles and good joyful times too of course!! I am an X Mormon &nbsp;left the Mormon cult &nbsp;in Oct of 1989... We had joined it in 1972... But in 1989 I was Saved, born again bc the Holy Spirit came to see me one evening... My good husband became saved 6 months later then me... then our daughter a few months after her dad was saved... Praise Jesus! &nbsp;Freed &nbsp;from fear and tryin to do it all on my own and thru works... I&apos;ve constant help from my good &nbsp;friends... (Jesus, Abba God, Holy Spirit &amp; my over worked &nbsp;Angels) is a millisecond from me. God bless &nbsp;you and your ministry here on social media.

  My wife is not saved. She tunes in for Bible study with us (my immediate family), we read the Bible together, and she sees the change in me since I surrendered to Christ and His will. I have faith that God is working on her heart. As her husband, I am responsible for her. We are one flesh. As her neighbor I am responsible for showing her love, mercy, faithfulness, kindness, patience. It is a difficult situation at times. Any insight into scriptures or extra-biblical resources pertaining to my situation are most welcome. Thank you in advance for taking the time

  I am a missionary in a Muslim majority country working with a highly resistant people group. &nbsp;I have to comfort myself regularly as friends here die and I&apos;m pretty sure they died without Christ. &nbsp; I remind myself of &nbsp;God&apos;s love for them, His goodness &nbsp;and his justice. &nbsp;I trust Him to do what is good and right.

  I have been specifically asking God this week to help me discern the difference between God’s voice, false prophesy &amp; self deception. This is so timely..I’m very thankful for this ministry.

  I was praying in my car on my way to pick up my kids and I was crying out to God and asking him for something and saying I’ve been waiting x amount of years. And I needed this or that and that I couldn’t understand why it was taking so long and the a song (my Savior, my God Aaron Shust) &nbsp;came out “I am not skilled to understand what God has willed, What God has planned…” I instantly stopped complaining while praying and just started to trust more in Gods plan and the time I had to wait.

  Thank you for answering my question, Mr. Winger! I’ve always been told “be discerning,” but not how to be discerning– notably to the degree you explained it. Your videos have greatly been helping me along my path of following Christ and I’m extremely grateful for both you and the Holy Spirit communicating this to me. God bless your ministry!

  Thank you, Mike. You are loved and appreciated. God bless you, my friend. After years of being a lukewarm Christian who dabbled in new age nonesense and the Bahai faith, you helped me after I returned to Christ a few years ago. I study my Bible daily and am so thankful the Lord was still there for me. God is good. 😊
