  Joseph Part 2: From Prison to Palace — God’s Timing Is Always Perfect | Genesis 41–43 18.09.2026 1h 7min

  Have you ever wondered why God is making you WAIT? ❤️When we left Joseph in Part 1, he was sitting in prison.He had faithfully interpreted the cupbearer’s dream and asked him to remember him.But the cupbearer forgot.And Joseph waited…TWO MORE YEARS.Then suddenly, Pharaoh had a dream that no one could interpret.The cupbearer remembered Joseph.Joseph was brought out of the dungeon, stood before Pharaoh, and when Pharaoh told him he had heard Joseph could interpret dreams, Joseph gave one of the most powerful answers in his story:📖 “I cannot do it… but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.” — Genesis 41:16Joseph didn’t promote himself.HE PROMOTED GOD. 🙌And in what appears to happen incredibly quickly, Joseph goes from PRISONER to second-in-command over EGYPT.But God had been preparing Joseph for YEARS.Potiphar’s house was preparation.The prison was preparation.Managing people was preparation.Waiting was preparation.And when God’s appointed time arrived, everything changed.In Part 2 of my three-part Joseph series, we walk through Genesis 41–43 and talk about:✨ God’s perfect timing✨ Joseph’s humility✨ Going from the prison to the palace✨ God preparing us in unexpected places✨ The fulfillment of Joseph’s dream more than 20 years later✨ God’s favor and provision✨ Jacob declaring, “Everything is against me!” when he didn’t know the whole story✨ How fear can cause us to imagine things that aren’t true✨ The transformation already happening in Joseph’s brothers✨ And why a DELAY does NOT mean God has forgotten youOne of my favorite moments happens when Joseph’s brothers are terrified because they’re being taken to his house.They imagine they’re about to be attacked, overpowered, and made slaves.But what was REALLY happening?A TABLE was being prepared for them. ❤️Fear was telling them one story.The truth was completely different.Maybe you’re looking at circumstances in your own life today and wondering:“God, what are You doing?”Remember Joseph.DON’T JUDGE GOD’S PLAN FROM THE MIDDLE OF YOUR STORY.The delay does NOT mean God has forgotten you.The closed door does NOT mean there isn’t another way.And what fear is telling you is not necessarily the truth.TRUST GOD. HE SEES WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE. ❤️🎙️ JOSEPH — PART 2: From Prison to PalaceTake Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis▶️ YouTube: @heatherbulthuis4627📺 Rumble: Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis🌐 Podcast Website: Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis on Riverside📬 SNAIL MAIL / PRAYER REQUESTS / TESTIMONIESTake Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis2220 Otay Lakes RoadSuite 502Unit #931Chula Vista, CA 91915❤️ If this message encourages you, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE it with someone who may be in a waiting season.And make sure you come back for JOSEPH — PART 3: The Test, the Transformation, the Revelation & the Reunion!#Joseph #GodsTiming #TrustGod #Faith #TakeBackYourAuthority

  Joseph Part 1: Don’t Judge God’s Plan in the Middle of Your Story | Genesis 37–40 12.09.2026 55min

  What if the difficult chapter you’re walking through right now is NOT the end of your story? ❤️Welcome to Part 1 of my three-part series on the incredible story of Joseph.Joseph received a dream from God at 17 years old—but what happened next looked NOTHING like the dream.He was betrayed by his brothers.Thrown into a pit.Sold into slavery.Taken far away from his family.Falsely accused.Thrown into prison.And eventually forgotten.Yet throughout Joseph’s story, Scripture keeps reminding us:“The LORD was with Joseph.”His circumstances changed—but GOD’S PRESENCE DIDN’T.In this episode, we walk through Genesis 37, 39 and 40 and look at Joseph’s dreams, his brothers’ jealousy, God’s protection and favor, Joseph’s integrity in Potiphar’s house, temptation, false accusation, the cupbearer and baker, and what it means to keep trusting God when you cannot see what He is doing.We’ll also talk about an important truth:God’s favor doesn’t always LOOK like favor while you’re walking through the middle of the story.The pit wasn’t the end.Slavery wasn’t the end.The false accusation wasn’t the end.Prison wasn’t the end.And whatever difficult season you’re walking through today—God is still working.❤️ DON’T JUDGE GOD’S PLAN FROM THE MIDDLE OF YOUR STORY.Stay tuned for Joseph Part 2: From the Prison to the Palace.If this episode encourages you, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE it with someone who needs this message today.🎙️ TAKE BACK YOUR AUTHORITY WITH HEATHER BULTHUIS🌐 Podcast Website:https://takebackyourauthoritywithheatherbulthuis.riverside.com/▶️ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@heatherbulthuis4627📺 Rumble:https://rumble.com/c/c-7908314📬 SNAIL MAIL / PRAYER REQUESTS / TESTIMONIESTake Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis2220 Otay Lakes RoadSuite 502Unit #931Chula Vista, CA 91915Keep renewing your mind with God’s Word.

  God Does His BEST Work in the Dark 🌱 | You’re Not Buried—You’re Being Planted 04.09.2026 48min

  What if the darkest season of your life isn’t the end of your story—but the place where God is preparing you for what comes NEXT? 🌱Before a seed ever breaks through the soil, something incredible happens where nobody can see it.**Roots begin to grow.**And throughout the Bible, we see God working in people's lives during seasons that looked dark, delayed, difficult, and even impossible.Moses had the wilderness before God used him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.Joseph had the pit, slavery, and prison before God elevated him in Egypt and used him to help save people during the famine.Jonah had the belly of the fish before going to Nineveh.Daniel had the lions' den.Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had the fiery furnace.David had the wilderness and caves before the throne.And Jesus had the cross and the tomb before the RESURRECTION.There is a pattern:**Darkness → Preparation → Breakthrough → Purpose**Maybe you're walking through your own hidden season right now.You’ve prayed.You’ve believed.You’ve tried to obey God.But nothing seems to be changing.**Don't assume that because you can't SEE God working, God isn't working.**Maybe He's strengthening your faith.Maybe He's developing your character.Maybe He's teaching you patience and obedience.Maybe He's redirecting you.Maybe He's developing roots strong enough to carry the fruit you've been asking Him for.📖 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we're looking at these incredible biblical stories and what they can teach us about trusting God during the seasons when we can't see what He's doing.🌱 Don't give up because you haven't broken through the soil yet.Stay in God's Word.Stay in prayer.Stay obedient.Stay close to Jesus.And trust God's timing.**Your hidden season is not necessarily a wasted season.**🙏 If this episode encourages you, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE it with someone who's walking through a dark season right now.🎙️ TAKE BACK YOUR AUTHORITY WITH HEATHER BULTHUIS🌐 Website:Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuistakebackyourauthoritywithheatherbulthuis.riverside.com▶️ YouTube: Heather Bulthuis — @heatherbulthuis4627📸 Instagram: @heather.bulthuis💙 Facebook: Heather Bulthuis🎥 Rumble: Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis🙏 31 Prayer Poems:https://stan.store/heatherbulthuis💌 SNAIL MAIL:Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis2220 Otay Lakes RoadSuite 502Unit #931Chula Vista, CA 91915**Remember: Don't write the ending while God is still writing your story. ❤️**#TrustGod #GodsTiming #ChristianPodcast #Faith #TakeBackYourAuthority

  The Devil Hopes You NEVER Realize the Authority Jesus Gave You ⚔️ 07.09.2026 44min

  Do you know the AUTHORITY Jesus Christ has given you?Jesus said: “I have given you authority… to overcome all the power of the enemy.” — Luke 10:19Yet many Christians don’t fully understand the authority they have IN CHRIST. The enemy wants you distracted, discouraged, afraid, and believing his lies. But Jesus showed us how to respond.When Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus answered:“IT IS WRITTEN.”Jesus responded to deception with the WORD OF GOD.And we can do the same.In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we’re talking about how to recognize the enemy’s schemes, put on the full Armor of God, use the Sword of the Spirit, resist the devil, and STAND firmly on God’s Word.“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” — James 4:7Our authority isn’t found in ourselves.Our authority comes through JESUS CHRIST. IN THIS EPISODE:• Recognizing the enemy’s lies• The battlefield of the mind• Putting on the Armor of God• Using Scripture against deception• Understanding Luke 10:19• Replacing lies with God’s TRUTH• Resisting the enemy• Standing firm in faith• Biblical declarations to speak over your lifeWhen fear comes:“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJVWhen you feel defeated:“We are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” — Romans 8:37And never forget:“The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” — 1 John 4:4JESUS is our focus.Satan is not equal to God. Jesus has already won the victory.Colossians 2:15 tells us Christ disarmed the powers and authorities and triumphed over them through the cross.When you recognize a lie of the enemy, remember: RECOGNIZE. REJECT. REPLACE. RESIST.“And after you have done everything, to stand.” — Ephesians 6:13Submit to God.Put on your armor.Know your Bible.Speak God’s truth.Resist the enemy.And STAND.

  # Satan Is Real — But So Is Your Authority in Christ**Satan is real. Demons are real. Spiritual warfare is real. But Jesus Christ has already won the victory.**One of Satan’s greatest schemes is deception. If he can convince you that he doesn’t exist, why would you guard yourself against his lies? Why would you put on the Armor of God? Why would you resist him?The Bible tells us:**“In order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.” — 2 Corinthians 2:11**In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we expose some of the enemy’s schemes—not to glorify Satan or create fear, but so that we can recognize deception and stand firmly in the truth of God’s Word.We’ll talk about:⚔️ Why Satan and spiritual warfare are real⚔️ How Satan can masquerade as an angel of light⚔️ Why Satan is called the “god of this age”⚔️ The battlefield of the mind⚔️ Nine schemes Satan uses, including deception, distraction, temptation, accusation, fear, division, twisting Scripture, doubting God’s character, and isolation⚔️ How to recognize, reject, and replace the enemy’s lies⚔️ How to put on the full Armor of God⚔️ The authority believers have through Jesus Christ⚔️ Why you do NOT need to live afraid of the enemy**“The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” — 1 John 4:4**Satan is not God’s equal.Jesus Christ has already defeated the powers of darkness.So don’t live afraid.**Wake up.

  The Book of Jonah Explained | More Than Jonah and the Whale: God's Mercy, Obedience & Repentance 26.08.2026 43min

  Why did Jonah run from God? Was the story really about a big fish—or is there a much deeper message?In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we walk verse by verse through the entire Book of Jonah and uncover the powerful lessons that many people miss.Jonah isn't just the story of a prophet swallowed by a great fish. It's a story about God's incredible mercy, His patience, His desire for people to repent, and His love for every nation. It also challenges us to examine our own hearts:• Are we obeying God when He calls us?• Do we celebrate when God shows mercy to others?• Are we more concerned with our own comfort than with people's eternity?• Can God use difficult circumstances to redirect our lives?In this Bible study you'll learn:✔ Why Jonah fled from God's calling✔ The historical background of Nineveh and the Assyrians✔ What the great fish really represents✔ God's heart for repentance before judgment✔ Why Jonah became angry when Nineveh repented✔ The lesson of the vine and what it teaches about gratitude✔ How the Book of Jonah applies to Christians todayWhether you've read Jonah many times or this is your first time studying it, I pray this teaching encourages you to trust God's plan, extend His mercy to others, and walk in obedience to His calling.Connect with Me🌐 Website: https://takebackyourauthoritywithheatherbulthuis.riverside.com/▶️ YouTube: Heather Bulthuis📺 Rumble: Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis📘 Facebook: Heather Bulthuis📸 Instagram: @heather.bulthuis📖 31 Prayer PoemsScripture-inspired prayers for peace, healing, protection, wisdom, purpose, forgiveness, and more.https://stan.store/heatherbulthuis📬 Mailing Address:Heather Bulthuis2220 Otay Lakes Rd.Suite 502 Unit #931Chula Vista, CA 91915#BookOfJonah #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #GodsMercy #Jonah #Faith #ChristianLiving #Jesus #TakeBackYourAuthority

  The Life of Samson | Judges 13–16 Bible Study | Your Mistakes Are Not the End 23.08.2026 1h 14min

  Samson was chosen by God before he was even born. He was called, set apart, and given supernatural strength to begin delivering Israel from the Philistines.But Samson also made mistakes.He compromised. He followed his desires. He allowed anger to influence his choices. He ignored warning signs and continued putting himself in places of temptation.And eventually, there were consequences.In this Bible study, we are walking through Judges 13–16 and looking at the life of Samson—from his miraculous birth and calling, to Delilah and the loss of his strength, to his final prayer when he called out to God one more time.Samson's story is about calling, choices, compromise, consequences, God's mercy, and redemption.One of my favorite moments in Samson's story is found in Judges 16:22:“But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.”His story wasn't over.And maybe you need to hear this today:YOUR MISTAKES DO NOT HAVE TO BE THE FINAL CHAPTER OF YOUR STORY.Maybe you've made mistakes.Maybe you've compromised.Maybe you've ignored God's warnings.Maybe you feel like you've wasted years of your life or gone in a direction God never intended for you to go.Samson's life reminds us that God can still work through imperfect people.In this episode, we talk about:• Samson's calling before he was born• The Nazirite vow• Samson's supernatural strength• How small compromises can become strongholds• Samson's anger and desire for revenge• Why we shouldn't keep returning to places of temptation• Samson and Delilah• The true source of Samson's strength• The consequences of Samson's choices• Samson's final prayer to God• God's mercy and redemption• Why your mistakes don't have to define the rest of your lifeConnect with Heather Bulthuis🌐 Website (Podcasts, Resources & More):https://takebackyourauthoritywithheatherbulthuis.riverside.com/🌿 31 Prayer Poems & Resources:https://stan.store/heatherbulthuis🎙️ Watch on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@heatherbulthuis4627📺 Watch on Rumble:https://rumble.com/c/c-7908314📱 Follow on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heather.bulthuisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heatherbulthuis🙏 31 Prayer PoemsStrengthen your daily prayer life with my Scripture-inspired 31 Prayer Poems.
