Description

Welcome to this episode of Contending for the Faith. Hosts Bishop LaCreece Roston and Bishop Ronald Roston welcome listeners, invite you to get your Bible and notebook, and introduce a conversation about The Remnant Church and what it means today.

Using Revelation 12:17 as a base scripture, the episode defines the remnant as a faithful minority who keep Gods commandments and hold the testimony of Jesus. The hosts explain that the remnant is not merely a label but a spiritual reality: a group preserved by God to remain obedient, holy, and steadfast amid cultural compromise and upheaval.

The discussion describes the remnant's key traits — faithfulness to biblical doctrine, commitment to holiness and sacrificial love, perseverance under pressure, evangelism, spiritual discernment, and a return to apostolic power and signs. The remnant's purpose is to fulfill what the larger, compromising Church failed to accomplish and to serve as a visible, holy witness in the end times.

The episode also emphasizes the need for the remnant to demonstrate signs, wonders, power, and authority so it can be a catalyst for revival and the final harvest. Listeners are encouraged to explore other segments and the hosts books for deeper study, to keep contending for the faith, and to walk in the blessing and peace of Yahushua.

A heartfelt welcome to our newest listeners from Germany and Pennsylvania. As always, we say welcome, welcome to you and thank you for joining us. A big shout-out to all of our listeners everywhere. In 2026, we pray that everyone stays faithful to their calling. Thanks for tuning in and sharing some of your time with us. We pray God's manifold blessing upon you and those you love.

Join hosts Bishop Ronald Roston and Bishop LaCreece Roston as they open in prayer and invite you to bring your Bible and notebook for a challenging, faith-deepening conversation. This episode centers on Revelation 12:12 and the theme: "The devil is mad."

The conversation explains Satan’s role as the accuser, his limited and temporary access, and how Messiah’s victory has fatally weakened him. Because his time is short, his anger intensifies, resulting in increased deception, persecution, and an apparent rise in occult influence.

Key takeaways: the Church must mature beyond entertainment to be educated and equipped; believers are called to remain salty—preserving and seasoning the world with God’s truth—and to engage in disciplined prayer, fasting, and holy living. Practical spiritual weapons include faith, the Word, and the whole armor of God.

The episode urges urgency and perseverance: stand firm in the victory of Yeshua, press deeper into prayer, and resist the devil’s intensified attacks with steadfast faith. Resources mentioned include the books Living in the New Jerusalem Now and The Remnant Church, available at major book outlets.

Closing blessing and charge: continue contending for the faith, stay vigilant, and prepare for the next segment on The Remnant Church. Shalom—God’s peace be upon you.

Welcome to this episode of Contending for the Faith. We open by greeting new listeners from Georgia, Virginia, and Germany, offering holiday prayers and blessings, and inviting everyone to join us in listening to all segments of the program.

Our discussion centers on Revelation 12:12 and explores why "the devil is mad." We review how Satan was cast down, his limited and desperate time on earth, and his role as the accuser among the heavenly host. We explain the biblical background of the "sons of God," Satan’s access to the heavenly council, and how his final expulsion and judgment are described in Scripture.

We trace the origin of Satan’s rebellion (Isaiah 14), his failed attempts to stop God’s plan of redemption, and how the death, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua secured decisive victory. Because Satan knows his time is short, his fury intensifies and he targets God’s people with persecution, deception, and attacks.

The episode encourages believers to be vigilant in spiritual warfare, to stand firm in the victory already won through the blood of the Lamb, and to deepen prayer, fasting, and study of God’s Word. We remind listeners that God’s purposes will succeed and the devil’s plans will ultimately fail.

Close with practical encouragement, scriptural promises of God’s protection, and an invitation to continue the conversation, read recommended books, and remain part of the community contending for the faith. Shalom.
