You might not have all you want now, but you have all you need. You realize your wants are less than you thought - the world creates greed, and greed is a spirit.

Psalm 23 Explained, Spiritual Valleys, and Trusting God in the Last Days

Most people read Psalm 23 as a comfort passage. Dan Bertran Griffey reads it as a survival manual for the times we are living in right now.

In this episode, Dan walks through the 23rd Psalm verse by verse using the NET translation and teaches something most churches never say out loud: becoming a Christian does not mean you skip the valley. It means you are going into one. The question is whether you put yourself there or whether God leads you there, and that difference changes everything about how you get out.

Dan explains the rod and the staff as two entirely different instruments for two entirely different kinds of sheep. If God is leading you, he uses the staff. If you will not be led, he drives you with the rod. He also breaks down how the spirit of greed, the spirit of lust, and the spirit of lying are not just bad habits but actual pre-flood Nephilim spirits that encamp around people who keep opening those same doors.

Dan shares a real story about a man facing serious prison time who cut a deal with God, walked out of court completely free, and what that means about the terms God holds you to when he gets you out of a pit of your own making.

The episode closes with a prophetic picture of the coming days: mature saints strengthened by God to guide a generation of new believers who are waking up to the fact that no political party, no government, and no amount of food storage will save them. Their hope is going to have to be God alone.
