In part two of his deliverance series, Pastor Dean Odle argues that a Christian can be genuinely saved and still require deliverance from demonic oppression or indwelling influence in areas of life that have not been surrendered or cleansed.

In this message, Dean Odle teaches that walking in the Spirit requires surrendering personal preference to Jesus’ lordship and learning to recognize the Holy Spirit’s direction.

Odle recounts his gradual change of view, argues that Genesis 1 should control Christian cosmology, and says that accepting secular accounts of origins has weakened confidence in the Bible. The interview is presented as advocacy for Odle’s position, not as an independent scientific assessment.
“Go Forward” is Pastor Dean Odle’s call to steadfast, courageous obedience when fear, disappointment, or pressure tempts a believer to retreat. Beginning with Israel at the Red Sea in Exodus 14, the sermon emphasizes God’s command to move forward even when no natural path is visible. Isaiah 43 reinforces the theme that God can make a new way, while Hebrews 10 warns against casting away confidence or drawing back.
In “Growing Up,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about prayer, faith, salvation. Working through the biblical themes raised in the sermon, the teaching emphasizes that prayer expresses dependence on God and prepares believers to hear and obey Him. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that biblical faith trusts God’s character and acts upon His promises.
In “Humility,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about pride and humility, grace and mercy, prayer. Drawing especially from Daniel 1, Habakkuk 3, Daniel 3, Daniel 4, the teaching emphasizes that spiritual pride blinds people to correction, while humility receives truth and depends on God. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that God’s grace forgives and also trains believers to leave sin and live in obedience.
Dean Odle responds to claims that his criticism of Torah-observance teaching reflects hatred toward its adherents. Drawing on his own time in Messianic fellowship, he says his concern is doctrinal and pastoral: requiring Mosaic observance for salvation or covenant standing obscures the sufficiency of Jesus Christ and the change of priesthood and covenant described in Hebrews.
In “Jesus Christ Is God,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about faith, family discipleship, the authority of Scripture. Drawing especially from 1 Corinthians 11, 1 Corinthians 5, John 14, John 7, the teaching emphasizes that biblical faith trusts God’s character and acts upon His promises. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that faithfulness in the home requires instruction, loving correction, protection, and a consistent Christian example.
In “Jordan & Iraq in Bible Prophecy,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about Bible prophecy, the authority of Scripture, Israel in prophecy. Drawing especially from Revelation 11, Daniel 11, Isaiah 14, Isaiah 11, the teaching emphasizes that prophecy should produce discernment, readiness, and faithfulness rather than speculation alone. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that Scripture is presented as the standard for doctrine, discernment, and daily obedience.
Dean Odle examines how Christians can distinguish true prophetic ministry from manipulation, immorality, failed predictions, political fortune-telling, and sensational claims. He affirms that New Testament prophecy continues, but argues that gifting never removes the biblical requirements of repentance, holiness, doctrinal fidelity, and accountable fruit. Brief clips and public forecasts concerning elections, immediate events, wealth transfer, revival, sporting events, and national destiny are tested by their specificity and fulfillment rather than reinterpreted after they fail.
Dean Odle teaches that Jesus still heals and that healing belongs within the gospel witness, while rejecting formulas that blame every unhealed person or forbid medical care. He begins candidly by saying that he has witnessed striking miracles and answered prayer, but has also seen faithful people suffer and die. Drawing from Isaiah 53, the Gospels, Acts, and Paul’s testimony, he connects Christ’s suffering with forgiveness and healing while refusing to turn that conviction into a guarantee that every prayer will produce an immediate visible result.
Dean Odle asks how believers can recognize genuine servants of God amid false prophets and teachers. Using Matthew 7, the pastoral epistles, and other New Testament passages, he argues that a true minister must be evaluated by doctrine, character, manner of life, faithfulness to Christ, and the fruit produced over time—not by charisma, predictions, crowds, or spiritual vocabulary.
Dean Odle teaches that hearing the Lord is a normal part of Spirit-led Christianity, but every impression must be tested by Scripture. He places the lesson after teachings on knowing Jesus and the Holy Spirit because spiritual guidance must grow from relationship with Christ rather than from technique. Through John, Acts, and 1 Samuel, he distinguishes the Spirit’s inward witness from rare audible speech, ordinary human thoughts, emotional pressure, and manipulative claims made by other people. Samuel’s initial failure to recognize God’s voice shows that discernment can develop through repetition and mature help.
Dean Odle presents Satan as a subtle adversary who works through temptation, distorted Scripture, false doctrine, counterfeit spiritual experiences, and ungoverned thoughts. Beginning with the believer’s authority in Jesus and the armor of God, he argues that Christians must acknowledge spiritual conflict without becoming fascinated by it. Ephesians 6 frames the battle as a struggle against principalities rather than flesh and blood, while Jesus’ temptation in Matthew 4 shows that the devil may quote a true biblical text with a false application. Regular Scripture reading and prayer are therefore presented as essential defenses.
In “Leadership Lesson #5 - Understanding Fasting,” Pastor Dean Odle develops a Scripture-centered message moving through biblical patterns of corporate fasting, private preparation before public ministry, reversing the appetite of eden, the flesh and the law of sin. The sermon follows the speaker’s argument chronologically, grounding its principal appeals in biblical passages and practical ministry examples.
In “Loving Jesus,” Pastor Dean Odle uses Peter’s failure, restoration, and final testimony to ask what genuine love for Christ looks like in practice. Beginning with submission to God and resistance to the devil, he follows Peter from confident promises before the crucifixion to Jesus’ repeated question, “Lovest thou me?” and the command to feed Christ’s sheep. The sermon argues that love for Jesus cannot be reduced to emotion or religious language; it is shown through obedience, repentance, service, endurance, and a refusal to let the world displace devotion to Christ.
In “Lucifer's Greatest Global Deception,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about faith, the authority of Scripture, biblical creation. Drawing especially from Romans 1, Romans 10, 1 Corinthians 5, Genesis 1, the teaching emphasizes that biblical faith trusts God’s character and acts upon His promises. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that Scripture is presented as the standard for doctrine, discernment, and daily obedience.

Drawing especially from 1 Corinthians 14, Revelation 13, Galatians 3, Hebrews 7, the teaching emphasizes that biblical faith trusts God’s character and acts upon His promises. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that faithfulness in the home requires instruction, loving correction, protection, and a consistent Christian example.
In “Pea Patch,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about the condition of the church, David’s example, spiritual leadership. Drawing especially from Psalm 103, Psalm 68, John 3, Psalm 51, the teaching emphasizes that the church is called to recover biblical faithfulness instead of accommodating compromise. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that David’s choices are used to examine leadership, testing, repentance, and renewed dependence on God.
In “Placed, Planted & Positioned,” Pastor Troy Towns develops a Scripture-centered message moving through why has god put me here?, placement for immediate purpose, joseph and daniel in foreign ground, planted for long-term fruit. The sermon follows the speaker’s argument chronologically, grounding its principal appeals in biblical passages and practical ministry examples.
In “Propaganda, Controlled Opposition & Our Faith,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about faith, the authority of Scripture, Israel in prophecy. Drawing especially from John 14, Romans 10, Luke 18, 1 Corinthians 1, the teaching emphasizes that biblical faith trusts God’s character and acts upon His promises. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that Scripture is presented as the standard for doctrine, discernment, and daily obedience.

Drawing especially from Isaiah 59, 1 Corinthians 11, Isaiah 30, Galatians 5, the teaching emphasizes that God calls believers to reject compromise and pursue practical holiness. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that revival begins with repentance, renewed hunger for God, and practical obedience among His people.
In “Red Light, Green Light,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about prayer, gifts of the Holy Spirit, holiness. Drawing especially from 1 Corinthians 14, 1 Chronicles 16, Jeremiah 17, John 16, the teaching emphasizes that prayer expresses dependence on God and prepares believers to hear and obey Him. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that spiritual gifts are given by the Holy Spirit to build up the church and serve God’s purposes.
In “Rekindle the Fire,” Pastor Dean Odle calls weary believers to receive fresh strength from the Holy Spirit rather than allow trials, fear, or restrictive teaching to quench spiritual life. Beginning with 1 Peter 4’s “fiery trial,” he acknowledges suffering and end-time pressure but insists that hardship should drive Christians first toward God. Prayer, worship, Scripture, and dependence on the Spirit are presented as the means by which faith is built up and love for Christ is renewed.
