In episode 344 of the No Doubt, No Fear, Only Believe podcast, host Greg Ryan explores a devotional framework that combines Revelation 12:11 (overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of testimony) with Matthew 6:33 (seeking first the Kingdom of God). He begins by sharing a personal health struggle—being about 20 pounds overweight and feeling the effects of aging—then pivots to a broader spiritual diagnosis: many Christians look to the world for answers instead of the Word of God. Ryan argues that true transformation requires walking in the Spirit (2 Cor 5:7; Romans 8:1; Hebrews 11:6) and embracing the abundant life promised in John 10:10. He introduces a practical tool he calls the “Kingdom of God spreadsheet,” which he has used for four years to improve his physical strength, energy, and spiritual walk while managing a large acreage of land in Louisiana. The spreadsheet is presented as a three‑step process: (1) commit fully to the journey (a commitment that takes about nine months to manifest), (2) obtain the spreadsheet/course, and (3) plant spiritual “seeds” that will harvest health and vitality. Throughout, Ryan emphasizes using Scripture as a weapon and seed, warns against deception by Satan, and calls listeners to a disciplined, faith‑driven lifestyle. He concludes with a prayer, an invitation to join the upcoming course, and a promise to continue the conversation in future episodes.
Chapters
Welcome to episode 344. In this episode, I'm going to see what happens when we combine Revelation 12:11 with Matthew 6:33. But before we get started, grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Well, I'm going to do something a little bit different if you're watching me on the YouTubes. I could not figure out the technology, so I don't have my camera showing my mug, but I've got a screen showing what I'm talking about. And I am going to combine Revelation 12:11 and Matthew 6:33. But before I get started, I want to give you a little background. I heard a statistic that said over 65% of Americans are overweight, and that just hit me like a ton of bricks because I think that I'm one of those 65%. Now, I'm not obese, and that's another statistic, but I'm probably about 20 pounds overweight. I've just let myself go over the last 6, 8 months, and it just happens, you know. And I don't know if you struggle with weight. I never used to struggle with weight, but when you start day by day doing something and getting in a bad habit, that's what happens, I think, when you get a little bit overweight and then you just continue in that. Because of Revelation 12:11, and they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. And Matthew 6: 33, which says, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. The com— by combining these two things, if you're a frequent flyer, you know that the kingdom of God, the way I've got it defined, is God's way of doing things. And God sees the end from the beginning, and God is in no hurry. And what I'm going to talk to you today, I've been doing for 4 years now. So I want to tell you my, my 12:11, the overcome him, the punk. We have an enemy, but he cannot come against my testimony. Now he can come against my opinion, and that's what happens a lot of times. We get in a fight with the world or with other people because we start giving our opinion. But when I give my testimony, I'm telling you, this Bubba can't come anywhere near me. Part of the problem I see in the world with Christians— now I'm just talking to Christians because we are in the Bible, we're supposed to get into the Word of God and allow the Word of God to get into us— but part of the problem that I see is we are looking to the world for our answers and we need to look into the Word of God for our answers. And I think that is the biggest hurdle that we have to overcome, is our inability to go into the Word and have the faith to look to God's Word for the answer. And that's why I'm here, and I'm telling you, I am fired up about this year. I'm fired up about what God's going to do in my life and in your life. But we need to learn to walk in the Spirit, and by doing that, we go to 2 Corinthians 5:7, for we walk by faith and not by sight. We've got to learn to take steps by faith. And I want to remind you of Romans 8:1 It says, there is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. And that is such a comforting scripture that if we just take that— if you're overweight, if you're out of shape, if you're one of the 65% that have let themselves go in this pandemic or just in life in general, or if you find yourself being more tired all the time. We're all getting older. We're one day older today than we were yesterday. So time is not waiting on anybody. But in Habakkuk 2:4, it says, "The just shall live by faith." And Paul quotes that a couple of times and uses that. We are the justified. We are to live by faith. And it says in Hebrews 11:6, "Without faith is impossible to please God." With all of that in mind, I know I've talked about faith a lot, But I've really never talked about what I do. I just believe that the abundant life that Jesus promised in John 10 is available to everyone, and especially Christians. And I want to remind you what John 10:10 says. It says, the thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy, but I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly. And abundant life is what our goal is but we also got to understand that we have an enemy. I believe it's so much easier to not walk by faith and to walk by sight because there's no opposition. Satan is not going to fight against himself. He's coming to set us up. He's coming to set a trap, and he's coming only to steal and to kill and to destroy. And Jesus come us to have abundant life. It is a promise from God. I want to give my testimony. I can only lead you where I've been, and I've got these ideas, I've got all this knowledge that God has given me. I can tell you with certainty, the last 4 years that I've been using this God spreadsheet, I have gained strength, my body is healthy, I'm learning to take steps in the spirit. It encourages me to keep going, and I want to encourage you, if you haven't taken the time to look into that, I I'm gonna set this up. This is the one thing, this one thing that I do. I've been praying to God, what can I help my people, my fanatics, what can I help them with? Or people that they know, what can I help those people with? I can help you with what I've done because in the last 4 years, I have been taking care of 3/4 of an acre here at my house and 3 acres at my in-laws' house. And it is a struggle where Constantly I'm outside and it's hot down here in Louisiana, and I can promise you that I have not lost any energy even though I am going to be 60 this year. And I've just got to give credit to God. He knew that I was going to be facing these challenges. He knows right exactly where you are. You are his favorite and he wants you to enter into faith. He's not fighting you. Satan is fighting you from getting in the word. And allowing the word to get into you. And I want to tell you, this Kingdom of God spreadsheet— there's 3 steps to transformation. And the first step is the absolute most important step, is that you have got to be committed. You have got to commit to this thing. And I know it sounds simple, it's just not easy. And Jesus never said that it was going to be easy. You know, Matthew 7:13 and 14, our anchor scriptures for this podcast because it says to enter by the narrow gate. And Jesus said that it's difficult and it's narrow, but— or it's wide and it's easy. It is not going to be easy, but it's very simple. The problem is the reason you need the commitment, because it is not going to happen in a week and it's not going to happen in 30 days. I'm telling you, it starts happening and starts getting out of control in about 9 months. And I'm pretty confident I just lost about 80% of you when I say, look, it's gonna take about 9 months for this thing to work. Most people have just clocked out. And I, if you are that person, I wanna encourage you to keep listening. But 9 months, if you think about a harvest, probably about 6 months, but 9 months is where I saw it getting out of control in 90 days. It starts doubling, and it is really exciting. The second step is to get a copy of this Kingdom of God spreadsheet. I'm going to put it in a course, and it is going to be phenomenal. It is going to change your life. I'm telling you, if it changed mine— God's no respecter of persons. Now, if you're not struggling with physical limitation, being overweight or being tired or being old, or if you go to the gym all the time, if you're a gym rat— when I was younger, I used to enjoy going to the gym, but since I started doing this, I had a gym membership that I was paying for all the time, but I wasn't going a lot. I have no longer paid membership for the last 3 years, and I'm in better shape than I was when I was going and really kind of sort of not going. The third thing is you've got to plant your physical seeds and begin to see the transformation, because God's way of doing things is seedtime and harvest. The only two things we've got to do is is plant our seeds and then harvest the crop that comes from the seeds that we plant. And we have got to start using this Word of God. This course is gonna show you how to use the Word of God as a weapon, and we're gonna use the Word of God as a seed, and we're gonna use the Word of God as the bread of life. There are so many things that we can do. It is a sword. The most powerful thing you hold in your hand is the Word of God. And I know I've jumped up and down and I've said that multiple times, But we need to start using the Word of God to change our life. We have got to do it. I believe the church, the modern church, and this is just Greg talking, but as I'm looking out, I see the church is getting us used to sitting and listening. If we just listen to the Word of God, if we're just a hearer of the Word of God and not a doer, then we're deceiving ourselves. And I'm here to tell you, Satan is a punk. We hate him. One of his biggest weapons is deception, and he deceives us, and he's deceived me into thinking I'm doing something. I'm about to start helping people that want to be helped. If you're committed to do this for the next year, I'm telling you, it will change your life. It will change your physical life. You will have more energy. You will want to do things that you hadn't done in forever. And I'm here to tell you that this is the one thing that I'm gonna do. I'm gonna help the people that are committed to wanna change. And then I wanna hear the stories because I've been doing this for 2 years. I haven't really talked to a lot of people. I've got a few friends that'll listen and say, hey, I liked that episode, or hey, I didn't like that episode. All of the people that are listening, I don't have a way to communicate, but I'm gonna communicate with the people that are committed to changing their physical life. If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, this is so powerful. It is simple. It's not easy because easy is push a button and have it change. And Jesus talked about this when he said, "It is easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven." And that is an important distinction. Jesus knows man. Jesus created, God created you and I. And he knows that most of us are not going to stick to it. And I've talked about this multiple times, there is power in a made-up mind, and we've got to make up our mind to do this one thing. And this one thing, if you're struggling with your energy, if you're struggling with your health, if you're struggling with your physical well-being, this one thing, this Kingdom of God spreadsheet, is going to show you how to use the word of God and to give you energy and give you strength. Because Satan is a punk. He's fighting us tooth and nail, and we've got to kick him in the teeth. Well, that's enough for now. I'm going to put a link into this course. I'm setting it up. I really don't have anything for you to, to get right now because I am just setting this up. If you hear this on time on Tuesday, then you're probably just going to have a link to raise your hand and say, yes, I'm interested. But trust me, it is coming. I've got it all set up, and I know I've said that before. I am fired up. I want you to be a part of this. Let's pray. God, I thank you so much for everything that you've done in my life. God, I thank you for this listener, for this person that you know personally, and I want you to encourage them that if this talk to them, if they are struggling in this area with their physical health, that they will start getting engaged into the process of using your word to defeat Satan. We're going to learn to fight like you fought, Jesus. You said, "It is written," and if we're going to use the word of God, we're going to hit him in the mouth. We're going to hit Satan in the mouth with this Bible. We are going to learn to resist the punk and he will flee. God, we thank you, we love you, we ask it all in Jesus' name. Amen. Well, thank you for being a part of this, and I look forward to visiting with you in the next episode.
